Copy the carrier folder on to your phones sd, root the phone, use root explorer to copy and paste the carrier folder in root directory, it SHOULD ask you permission to mount system to read & write, select yes. Then go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/database/"telephony.dn" -> Delete this file only. Reboot. In KK the file system varies, so property folder values are shifted to a diff folder. DON'T worry about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinod Nayak 443 Report post Posted May 4, 2015 BEFORE UPDATING TO ZVG, MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED. Backup all data thats required from the phone to your pc or comp or laptop. Reverse all changes that has been made to the system folder, like build.prop edits or renaming of apps. Then unroot the phone via super user app from the phone. SuperSU/Settings/Full Unroot. After unroot simply reset the phone using settings. Download ZVG update.zip from XDA. Place update.zip in your adb folder, Run command prompt from that folder. Developer option and USB DEBUGGING has to be enabled. Switch the phone off, Use Power+Vol Down button to enter STOCK recovery, Select Update phone from ADB. Connect phone wait for the drivers to load. in command prompt check if the device shows up, adb devices, once confirmed, run "adb sideload update.zip" and wait for the magic to happen. total time 10 to 15 minutes. ENJOY. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuduku 24 Report post Posted May 5, 2015 Yes i have also updated to ZVG as per xda thread no issues in SIM unlock . My method was TOT to ZVE , root , SIM unlock but dont change apnconf file or delete anything . Just replace carrier folder . Sideload ZVG and reboot . Flash TWRP for LP LS980 using Autorec . It also backs up stock recovery . Delete bloatware of Sprint but don't delete Activation apk as it gives bootloops . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vibhav_mujumdar 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 hi Vinod. I had done the unlock procedure successfully on JB. Then there was an automatic upgrade to KK. Today sprint rolled out Lollypop update. After upgrading to Lollypop the device goes back to CDMA. No GSM option is found in carrier settings. What has to be done now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow Buddy 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2016 I'm in the US and I can probably get this phone locally as a used one and still 'locked' to Sprint network (I hope I can find one accepted as bring-your-own-device by RingPlus, which is a Sprint MVNO). But I'm also looking for a phone which would support GSM so that I can stick in a GSM SIM and be on 2 different networks at the same time? Do you think your instructions may work for me?
