Hi guys
I have a MetroPCS LG Stylo 3 Plus.
Is there a way to Unlock this phone without paying any doubtful website?
Thank you
There should be an app already installed on your phone that allows you do unlock it. You must have used the phone for 3 months before you can unlock it. At least this was the case on my Metro PCS LG Stylo 2. I know you said you have the 3, but just saying. Look in your Metro Apps ?
I rooted before unlocking and I also installed custom ROM lineage which did not come with the stock device unlock apk installed. I tried to install from multiple locations. I assume I have no choice but to revert back to stock and lose root. Damn I'm tryna be lazy.. Is there a semi quicker fix

Hello has anyone figured out a way of unlocking the LG LEON besides via device unlock app??
I ask because currently the servers have been down for the past 2 weeks and I have 10 Leons sitting around my house
I have found a way to enter the unlock through the hiddensimunlock.apk
says success , reboots, the sim is blocked by the app
I have asked a few friends who currently haven't experiment with the leon but they said if we can remove that app for good we might be able to unlock the phone
so i was wondering if someone installed a custom rom on the leon (no device app integrated) then performed regular unlock code method with APK
will it work?
I am offering 50$ paypal to whoever can show me how to unlock this phone successfully without device app
any help/info would be greatly appreciated

Let me know if you succeed.
Need answers on how to root
Hmm no reply
Hi, if you just call metropcs and tell them you are unlocking a phone you bought online and need help unlocking it. They should help you, I have to wait 30 days to unlock my lg and once I can I will help with your lg Leon
Kingroot
Kongoroot (not kingroot) is the only one that worked for me ( just to root)
now I can't unlock bootloader or unlock network
Just rooted the h81010o. Ive got xposed and the root cloak method doesnt work nor disabling su. Im not gonna flash back to stock just for android pay i just like making everything work. And as far as the bootloader unlock. I seen that the only version capable is the h815 int.. can it only be unlocked by lg or can a dev. Find a way? Last thing, custom recovery. Can be done with tmobile variant but is there a way for the att h810 to have a custom recovery without the bootloader unlocked or is that necessary?
(OEM/not rooted - no plans to)
You can "unlock" a phone on Cricket after 6 months of use. I am new to GSM phones and "Unlocking".
What does "Unlocking" do for you?
If I was to unlock the phone, would that allow me update to Alcatel's version of MM 6 (if they put out an update), even if Cricket did not put out an update for it?
If I could do that, and I used the Alcatel update, would the update process also remove any bloatware that Cricket added to their version of Lollipop ?
Thanks

"Unlock" a Cricket phone after 6 months means you will then be able to use it with T-Mobile or any of the pre paids that are not Cricket. Until 6 months are up you will not be able to use a Cricket phone on anything other than Cricket. If you want to root the phone to be able to use different Rom you can do that now.

You can also unlock the phone yourself now, just browse a few threads in the Idol 3 section. Very easy to do.
it's easy to say. But so far no one is able to unlock this phone...

Hi. I was given a Cricket LG G Stylo to play around with. Previously I have messed around with my HTC Sensation where I which I unlocked the bootloader, did s-off, flashed a custom recovery, and permanent rooted. Can I do all of that with the Cricket version of the LG G Stylo? Most of the threads I've read only talk about rooting the Cricket Stylo but nothing else.
So basically:
1) would I be able to unlock the phone to be use with other carriers? If so, do I do that first or last? And where can I find this info?
2) How can the bootloader be unlocked?
3) If s-off doable on this phone or is that only for HTC phones?
4) How can the stock recovery and ROM be backed up?
5) Are there any working custom recoveries for the Cricket version?
Thanks
I've been combing through various threads and haven't really found anything specific to the LG Stylo 2. However have found a root and TWRP guide for LG Stylo 2 Plus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-v3-lg-stylo-2-plus-t3482169
It seems the first thing we need to figure out is how to get the phone into fastboot and oem-unlock. Seems there are guides for the Stylo 2 plus, however the same instructions don't work for the Stylo 2.
Seems there should not be too much difference between these phones to unlock bootloader and get TWRP on here.
Anyone have any input?

you cannot root any lg phones, marshmallow and up, unless they are t-mobile or metropcs. The reason is tmobile and metropcs got LG to allow their bootloader to be unlocked. This is the prerequisite for changing kernel permissions. Sorry
Is there a method to enable fastboot on non tmobile & metropcs devices
Is there anyway that fastboot can somehow be enabled on non tmobile & metropcs devices so they actually boot into fastboot with adb reboot bootloader or some other command
