So I made a post yesterday explaining my problem about having locked APN settings on my unlocked Sprint LG G5. Someone there pointed out I need an MSL code. How do I go about getting one? Do I have to deal with the headache we call sprint again?... also once I obtain the MSL code where do I input it? I have some idea where it needs to go but I'm not 100% sure...
like I said it's an LG G5, model number is LGLS992 (sprint phone thats GSM unlocked) and it's running 6.0.1.
Thanks in advance everyone and let me know if you need anymore info!

Hi Hockeywaves
Thank you for using XDA Assist
According to some fellow XDA users (threads listed below), you should call Sprint and they will inform you.

Does anybody found a way to do it? i cant buy it online....
SIM Unlock
If you have your phone paid off and/or have had service for a few months, you should be able to get the unlock code and instructions from TMo. They provided me with the aforementioned info without any pushback. Just call their support number or hop on chat and they will help you out. Also it's free

Here is a great article on phone unlocking with the carriers.
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/phone-unlocking-guide-for-all-carriers/
I just saw an LG G4 (VS986) on ebay. I live in India. The carrier is verizon, the VS986 is an US model. It is written that hotspot won't work. Also there is mentioned that verizon logo will come up during booting. My queries are:
1) Why hotspot won't work? Will I be unable to access WiFi also?
2) Why will verizon logo come up during booting? Is it common or the phone is rooted?
3) Will I also face problems regarding upgrading the phone to marshmallow?
That's all... I know these are too many questions but please help....

Hi All,
I bought a LG V10 T-Mobile thru buy& sell online and didn't realized that it still Network Unlocked. I cannot use it to other Network provider and I am very frustrated already. I already try using several unlocking sites but the codes for my IMEI are always cannot be calculated. I'm not sure if this unit is just a demo and cannot be unlock. I also check my IMEI number to T-Mobile IMEI Checker from their site but unable to verify my number. Done also chatting with one of T Mobile support but they cannot also help me to unlock my phone. They said I need to by a T Mobile SIM Card but it is not possible because I'm from the Philippines. There is also a note engraved to my unit saying "Not for Sale H960A Rev 1.0
Please help me if there's still a way to unlock the network of my phone.
Thank you.

I bought a galaxy s5 used and found out that it is sim locked through sprint. After trying to unlock it I also found out that sprint is one of a carrier that u can`t unlock! I was told that it can be rooted to work with other carriers and I think that xda has instructions on how to do this. I`m not a programmer or developer but I do investigate and try my best to learn. It would be appreciated if someone could help me.
Thanks Vesten

View this forum in a browser on PC or on your phone,,look for the XDA search bar that says "search all forums".
In that bar, type:
"Sprint Galaxy S5 root"
Then you will find what you are looking for, you'll also find more information and possibly custom development for you device.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
