Recommended Posts

There is no build.prop edit in this unlock. The build.prop edit I have no idea as I have not tried.

Hmm... Vinod ji I'm talking about build.prop edits that every one is using, which you have also mentioned various threads in this forum, that is changing ro.build,target_operator value to spr from SPR.

What I meant was, I have not tried to reset the phone while having the build.prop edit.

Yes you will receive OTA and can update also.

No the phone won't be locked after OTA

You can either use GSM or CDMA NV, both data works. RUIM data does not work. But I'm almost there, so by today evening I can confirm data on RUIM

CDMA NV means using the phone on CDMA Network without sim.. Wherein we program the phone for Reliance and get its MEID registered in Reliance..

If you want to use LG G2 for RUIM just change mode in DFS to RUIM only and you are good to go..

Thing is nobody bothers to read every post. That's why had made a separate thread for it. But it was moved here.

How can you know whether an OTA update will or will not put the lock back ? Has this been tested via ZV8 unlock -> ZVA ?

Please remember that OTA writes to the system partition - so for any major update like kitkat - the system partition will be re-written, which may or may not cause the changes you have made to be overwritten.

OTAs are being pushed without user Yes/No option (search XDA and you will find the info). ZVA and above are found to be loki killers - so it would be safer to stay on a custom rom, know what the update is and that it is not going to kill anything and then take the update.

If the phone is used on RUIM mode out of the box, data works. Even after the GSM Unlock the data on RUIM will work. Data will not work only if we flash NV, if NV is flashed data on RUIM will stop working and it will start to work on NV mode.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO BACK UP EFS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO THE PHONE, THIS MESSAGE IS ALSO TO ALL DEALERS. If the dealers provide copy of the EFS in the phone, it would simply be great because the phone will be able to get data on all modes. Like phonegeek mentioned in earlier posts that the EFS can not be restored to its stock state if modified.

OP is updated with how to backup EFS.

^ When you root the phone using ioRoot method - two new files modemst1.img and modemst2.img are created on your sd card - these are your efs files.

I wonder why data stops working on RUIM, once NV is flashed? Whats the catch here which I'm missing? RUIM mode uses every settings direct from RUIM/OMH right? Being a RCDMA freak, I would love to have 2xRCDMA with data working in one phone. I'm also looking forward to get permanent GSM unlock done once my G2 arrives. It should increase its resale value :P

If Rev-b is supported then RUIM will work no matter what you flash.

He did that because someone stole his work and started selling it on XDA
