Dear friends,
I searched this website and didn't find an answer - PLEASE help!
I have an LG optimus F3 vm720, bought it in the US for 99$. I think it was at T-Mobile or Sprint
but the carrier is Virgin Mobile - that's for sure, as I pay them 30$ per month, the sim-card is "Sprint"]
(how is that possible?)
I am traveling to Berlin and hoped to unlock it (although the cheap, 99$ was domestic only, exc.
Is it possible?
I could not find the IMEI, could not unlock it. Most YouTube vidoes suggest to hit *#06# - my phone does not react to this.
Can anyone please help me unlock it? Should I root it first (hope I would know how to do this).
It is a nice phone, but now I'm so lost I wished I'd bought something that works in Europe(
Thank you for any tip, suggestion and help!!!
Regards
So I did a little searching I found
Your Service Code is 2945#*659#
You might be able to find your IMEI in there some where?
I found that from this YouTube link exsplaning how to unlock the sim (Mind you I am not suggesting you use the site in the video)
also be careful to not change anything in your hidden menu as this can cause problems
Hope this helps.
Nop, but you are great
It did not work. Nothing happens when i enter 2945#*659# .
But people like you make me love human kind again, anyway! Thank you so much!

can You take the battery cover off your phone and take a picture of sticker ?
Yes, please find the attachment.
Swappa says you are on Sprint PCS (subsidiaries under the Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and Assurance Wireless) so I'm guessing that Sprint allows cross usage of Sim Cards?
How to enter code for LG Optimus F3 VM720?
Turn on your LG Optimus F3 VM720 with original sim card (the sim card from operator which your phone is working now),
Enter PIN code if it is necessary,
Type sequence 2945#*XXX# or 2945#*71001#, xxx - are your model name digits (for example if it is E460 type 2495#*460#),
You will se a secret MENU - choose Network or Network Lock,
Type the code from us and accept it.
or
Switch ON your LG Optimus F3 VM720 with a not Accepted SIM Card,
Enter the Unlock Code we send to you.
Your LG Optimus F3 VM720 is unlocked.

So see if you can get into your secret menu with adding your verents if so then you can go foward with searching for the unlock code.
I verified this works with other phones (my lg g flex) by puting in the first set of numbers and then my phones model number (959) so it should work for you... if not then you might need to reset to stock.

Hi all, was given a LG v50 Thinq (had a chouce between that n a Apple XR) by my landlady husband (just broke my S10+ while riding my motorbike using the quadlock ......wont be using it again!!)
Anyway it appears to be locked to EE. But when I pop my giffgaff or Voxi sim it doesn't register the sim at all doesn't ask for any unlock code or allow me to search for networks as its greyed out.
Any help??

look in settings in about phone and somewhere in there you have to manually select "unlock"
it might be under network settings or hardware or something but it should show somewhere as mine did.
I use an unlocked Sprint LG V50 on T-Mobile. Has any progress been made on unlocking the bootloader, and if so can VoLTE be enabled?
Edit: I’m so embarrassed for posting this after reading all the threads and seeing the hard work, time, and money already put into this problem. So sorry. I thought a simple adb command could turn on VoLTE...I guess my beautiful V50 will make a nice paperweight after all.
Hi,
I have the TMobile LG Velvet and I was wondering if it was possible to flash like factory unlocked firmware to the device so I cam get rid of all the TMobile branding and apps?
Thanks!
Cross-flashing is kinda hard on LG phones unlike Samsung; however, T-Mobile LG Velvet anyways have the different CPU from others, (Mediatek VS Qualcomm) so it won't be possible.

Thanks. I didn't realize there were 3 different CPU versions of the phone. I've done this kind of thing with my G2 before to turn a sprint version into a factory unlocked version. Thank you!
I don't know the answer to this however if you turn on developer mode on this phone (I have the 900TM version) and you have gotten your provider to unlock the phone, then do this:
In Developer Options, turn on the switch labeled "Enable Operator Unlock". I don't have any details on what this does but it may be relevant to getting rid of those vendor specific apps.
