Finally managed to unlock GSM part of LG G2 LS980

Root Required

Install Rom Tool Box Lite

Run Rom Tool Box Lite and select Build.prop editor

ro.carrier=spr (NOT SPR)
ro.build.target_operator=spr (NOT SPR)
persist.service.crash.enable=1

save, exit and reboot.

Its as simple as that. :)

GOT THE DATA TO WORK :)

Install Telinfo from playstore and use it switch between GSM SIM and CDMA NV

Install TWEAKKER INTERNET MMS app and set APN of your GSM provider for DATA to work.

SYSTEM UI CRASH, reboot to recovery, wipe cache. This should take care of it. Else revert back to stock ZV7 build.

Hmm...any Crashes and loop after edit of Build.prop? As I can see in your screenshot that the signal strength is quite low and at XDA many have reported that device goes into crash and loop at full/high signals after editing of Build.prop. Have you experienced any of that or none coz maybe the signals are always low in your area for the GSM carrier you are using.

don't think so.

Try Editing the build.prop change. Value of ro.build.target_country=US to ro.build.target_country=COM.

This is supposed to work but wifi settings crash if you try yo access. You can connect to previously saved wifi networks. Can switch it on & off using the notification access.

UPDATE

Please use ro.build.target_country=EU

and ro.build.target_operator=OPEN

this seems to work for now not a single system ui crash, but cant access wifi menu, settings crashes.

The above update also does not help. System Hi crashes at full signals. No solid unlock yet.

Hi,

I am planning to get a Sprint G2 for myself. Can you pleasr confirm if it works for CDMA RUIM in India ?

The phone I am planning to buy is the locked version. Will I have to buy the paid DFS software for unlocking / using it with CDMA ?

The GSM has a stable unlock now as far as I know. Have you encoutered any problems with the GSM part of the phone like signal/data issues ?

Thank you.

GSM works only on custom Rom, which disables CDMA section of the phone. RUIM data does not work. Go for Verizon it works all ways. Only 5k more.

GSM UNLOCKED

ro.build.target_operator=spr

persist.service.crash.enable=1

Use lower case, spr instead of SPR.

Vinod bhai, better to give credit to original user who suggested this workaround and one more thing to consider is that Wifi Tethering or hotspot is not working even with this workaround also(according to another user on XDA).

The original post suggesting this workaround can be found HERE

Got the ZVA UPDATE, confused how to update. Lot of apps frozen. Root and the build.prop edit. The reason I'm confused is because lot of G2 have been bricked or stuck at bootloop, ZVA update is nothing but Sprint Spark update.

There is a thread in the XDA Sprint section with details about ZVA and how to update it manually via zip flashing... Do check...

Also why do want to take that update ? It only adds LTE bands...which are useless in India.
