How to unlock my network ? - LG Velvet Questions & Answers

Hello, I bought a phone from France. I live in Africa. When I insert my SIM card into the phone it doesn't work. On the other hand, I use it correctly with my wifi networks. After reading the instructions, I saw that it has been mentioned that the phone only works with sim cards meeting the European EU / EEU standards. My phone is new and I received it with the original box where my IEMI number is mentioned. I have tried several tips but it doesn't work. It's an Android, LG velvet 5G. Need your help. Thank you.

[Q] H60-L02 dual sim update from EMUI 2.3 to 3.0

Hi everyone, I got a dual sim H60-L02 from China (rooted by the seller) and using it in Malaysia.
The shop dealer asked me not to update the phone as I will not be able to use Malaysia SIM card upon updating to the latest firmware.
Is it something to do with the baseband?
Is there anywhere I can find the baseband if I updated the phone and fail to connect to the cellular services?
Do advise / correct me should I have made wrong statement.
Thanks.
sorry but it sounds to me you've got either a clone device or spyware from your seller. try the app Z device test to check the hardware

I have L-02 type, unrooted, using it in Malaysia, 1st sim Maxis and the other one use indonesia's SIM. It's running properly for 3G. I unable try 4G coz my sim card not support for 4G.
thanks for the reply.
Just to update, as there is a small note not to update to EMUI 3.0 while in rooted mode, I had factory reset the phone and then only updated the phone to latest firmware. Since Gapps does not available in China, I installed the Gapps from huawei app centre (Google calendar and contact sync adapter are available in that app centre) and the phone works well up to now except whatsapp chat history problem.
Hope you all enjoy Honor 6 H60-L02, definitely a phone worth to buy.
I have H60L02 .. Bought in Chinese... I am in India
I want or remove chinese app ..
Even in Contacts i could see chinese.. kindly Help in rooting it to International version EMUI

You would need an active Go Phone, or H2O SIM card to be able to update.

Go phone it's a carrier. You would need to activate either sim.
And youd need to call a toll free US number to activate it with a number (use Skype). You don't have to add money to the sim.
Don't pay too much for an H2O sim as they're only a penny here in the USA $0.01 so they cost almost nothing. Not sure what they are to get there though.

Try an IMEI from another device. Since your in another country are you sure your IMEI is not blacklisted?

PM me your IMEI and I will check it for you. If activating through Go Phone it doesnt matter what IMEI you use as long as its valid it wont affect what phone you can use the sim card with.
ok i get to the last steps but i have to chose plan and do i need to pay for the plan or what ?? or just i press submit and the card will activate ??

[Q] SM-R765A - Is there any way to change the phone number that it shows?

Hi guys, pretty much straight forward question... I have the S3 SM-R765A (LTE). I don't leave in the US... so basically i cannot use the LTE functionality as in Brazil the operators still does not have implemented eSim to the network.
However, i would like to change the phone number that it shows at "About device".
Is it possible?
Thanks
If you have not been able to activate the eSim how does it even show a number?
The first owner did activate it.
I guess you tried factory reset? Also have you already unlocked it? Saludos

Hey... yes I've tried factory reset - from software and hardware. Old number kept in both methods.
Now that you mentioned about unlocking.... is it possible? Did not find anything related.
Thanks
Hi, yes, it can be unlocked. There is a thread about it.
I contacted AT&as a non customer and applied for the unlock code, received it 48 hs later . However do note that unlocking procedure for the Gear S3 is not as explained by AT&T .

what is the point of unlocking the device? the OP is about changing the eSIM ICCID/existing phone number associated with the device. How can this be done? It does not seem to be actually related to an unlocked device which just lets it work on another carrier.

Thanks for the kind response. I just need some help with the number embedded into the phone. there is no way i can find to change it. I just wanted to edit the esim info. change the number maybe add my own sim. In this particular device that information is hardcoded or something.. need a way t make it editable please
@adnshah
For this kind of adventure... research... SM-R765S SM-R765L SM-R765K from Korea is wrongest choice...
No Combination Firmware nor normal Stock Firmware...
So chance of success is 0... ZERO... NONE...
Best Regards
P.S.:
About eSIM hacking I found only iPhone info... from Chinese users...
So IMHO eSIM crap is at the moment safe enough against "experiments"...

Xperia XA (Us Warranty) no LTE service

Good day all, hope I'm on the right place/post here.
Wondering if someone can help, I've purchased a Xperia XA F3113 via Amazon from SA.
Phone works 99.9%, the other 0.01% is my issue.
To start with all the settings are set to LTE(Preferred)/WCDMA/GSM, my carrier Vodacom has sent and verified that my sim is LTE activated (Used the same sim on other phones with LTE present)
Here's everything I did to resolve the problem....
1- Phone came from USA with android 6 and no LTE signal just 3g (In a 4G environment)
2- Vodacom sent settings and confirmed. did not work
3- Spoke to Sony and they suggested I upgrade software
4- Upgraded software via Sony Companion to Nougat Android 7
5- Vodacom re-send the LTE settings still no luck.
6- If I search the mobile networks it only finds 3g-Vodacom, 2g-Vodacom, MTN, Cell C NO LTE on any network. Screen shot Attached....
7- Think I've reached Google's end of their information network (searched everything)
OK so now I'm thinking I want to flash/re-install ROM/Firmware with SA (South African) settings due to different Base band versions.
I came across a link but are not allowed to post it yet due to my 1ste post on you're site. But the ink only have the "(F3112_1302-4393_33.3.A.0.127-R1B_Customized_SA.ftf)" for model F3112 dual sim and apparently it wont work on the F3113 single sim....
Google this: 2017/06/xperia-xa-android-7-0-nougat-firmware
Can Anyone maybe help or have some suggestions except for returning the phone.....?
Thnx

Hi, I think that it will not solve your problem. Did not you asked yourself why Sony sell 3 differents single sim device (F3111, F3113 and F3115)?
Look here and "Networks":
http://www.xperiablog.net/specifications/2016-xperias/xperia-xa/
And if I look here Vodacom SA uses LTE B3 for 4G:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/vodacom-south-africa
To confirm your problem if you look here you will see that only F3111 and F3115 will have 4G on Vodacom SA:

You can try but it will probably brick your device or Flashtool will not let you flash it (never tested). Firmwares are not unified probably for a good reason. Maybe an other user can confirm if it works or not

I don't want to break your hopes but the problem is not your network provider so changing some lines in build.prop will not enable LTE Band 3 on your device. It's a modem feature (or maybe related to modem firmware if you are lucky) so it's on the hardware side of your phone. You can try but I know the result The better way is to know if modem chips are same on all XA Single Sim and, if yes, try to flash the modem firmware from a F3111 or F3115.
Cool, will investigate and try that. Thank a lot

Flashing ROMs from F3111 or F3115 to F3113 is not a good idea. Like @rrvuhpg said it can brick your device. My advice is to send it back and ask for different model (if they have it, because you have warranty). There is also a possibility to change just baseband, but I don't have expirience in extracting baseband. I remember that when I used Huawei G510 I flashed MIUI rom with Chinese baseband and then developer added one small .zip file to flash it for other regions and it worked (but I changed that ROM because it takes too much resources for a that phone). So try contacting some senior developer or google for it, but do this if you can't change your phone, because you will lose warranty if you root phone.
Thank you guys I will definitively try some of you're advice's, thanks again....... Will give feedback asap. have a good one..

Huawei P20 Single sim to dual sim

Hi Everyone,
I have a Huawei P20 EML-L09 single sim from the French operator Orange.
I would like to transform it into a dual sim working phone. I didn't find any relevant information's about that, except that i will need to rebrand it.. And now i'm stuck.
Does anyone already do this ?
it seem's that i have to rebrand it into an EML-L29, but I dont know how, where to find tools and images, and also if it will brick the phone or not. Also i'm lost with country codes, mine is C109 .
Many thanks !

You can change your model to EML-L29 (dual SIM) but you will not be able to use the dual SIM because of the hardware.

Hello, are you sure ? Because some post says that it works (it's seem's to be the same hardware).
Do you have a procedure for me ?
You are joking.
Hardware is not the same, on single sim version there is only one sim port. You can check it by taking off the sim tray and looking inside the sim port. You will see only contacts for SD card and for one SIM.
If some post says that it work, pelase go ask author of that post.

Seriously?
this is impossible. Hardware is the same base but totally differrent setup. You can rebrand but that will do nothing but change your model description to another region/model.
Not offending but this is the dumbest question i ever read on xda
The hardware supports dual SIM. You need to buy the dual SIM tray though.
Also, I have rebranded and then changed over to dual SIM using funky Huawei. I was left with a fully functional dual SIM and broken speaker sound volume. It was stuck at 20% and no matter how many resets I did could not get it fixed.
You also loose bootloader unlock using Funky Huawei. I luckily had my phone replaced under warranty...
