For service code go to android - whiterabbit.org& where it says MEID/ESN enter your IMEI that you get from settings then about phone , it's going to give out a 6 digit MSL Code & remember this, you'll need it.

1. To get the menu for the network select: Go to dialer and enter ##626* then enter 6 digit code that you got from above, then go to network select & then network mode and you get this menu PIC:http://db.tt/ckh3xgTV
LTE Only - 4G Data only ----- no call or text
CDMA+LTE/EvDo - 1x,3G,4G ----- call & text
EvDO Only - 3G Data only ----- no call or text
CDMA w/o EvDO - 1x ----- call & text
CDMA/EvDO - 3G ----- call & text


2. There's another hidden menu ##LGSERVICEMENU or ##5473784236368 the service code is the same 6 digit one from the top
* there is something called GSM/UMTS settings in there idk if it can truly enable them though PIC:http://db.tt/WwCnZZgY PIC:http://db.tt/yV5pOd7U


3. There's also ##786#
"Which appears to let you reset the log of number of minutes used and data transmitted"

*If you ran the debloat script it deleted your hidden menu, but can add back here Re-Add Hidden Menus
---------------------------------------------
Well some things you may do with the hidden menu are:
-Change Network mode : Turning off LTE may save battery life

Field Tests - Check 4G Spectrum Bandwidth

Semi-booting mode - Enable Semi-Booting mode (interesting find.)

Network Lock - Change Network lock mode

ICC Activation Setting - Make it where the phone still work even without the sim card

-Hardware & Software Tests
And more but I don't have this phone anymore

*You can use this app to get the MSL https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.splicedmedia.android.meidconverter& feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zcGxp Y2VkbWVkaWEuYW5kcm9pZC5tZWlkY29udmVydGVyIl0

This isn't working for me. after i press ##626* i do get prompt for the MSL Code, but as soon as i put it, it just goes back to the dialer.

Gman9831

try #2 but after you put the msl in go to IOT(CDG2) then system selection

EagleOne64

no dice, again get prompt, enter msl code and just goes back to dialer. Could it be because im rooted?

ninjasinabag

Did you use the lg motion debloat script? If so , it deleted the hidden menu. Try looking through your system apps, if there is no hidden menu apps than you are out of luck.

EagleOne64

I did use that debloat script. Thanks a lot bro. Any idea on how to get it back?

Dial ##786# to get your IMEI and other info
You may wish to include this in the OP.

EDIT:
Ah, I misread where you noted you can get it in your settings also. Cheers

Awesome stuff, but I'm trying to figure out the use for it. I'm navigating the menu's and it all looks good. Will accessing these menu's allow a person to switch carriers?

Perhaps you could give some links to some info?

Updated OP

Gman9831

Possibly no one has tested it yet

Sepero

APN Settings appear to be under here: ##626* -> LTE Configuration

Sepero

One use that comes to mind is setting your Network to Not use LTE. This will make data transfer slower, but might significantly increase idle battery life?

MotoTriumphant

After i put this number it says service code. What is it?

Sepero

It depends on your IMEI number.

1. Get your IMEI in Settings > About Phone > Status
2. Then go here android - whiterabbit.org
3. Enter it in the box that reads "Enter 1 MEID/ESN"

Then you'll have your service code.

##626*

If that's your security code that you got from the website it only works for you & please edit and take that out

NY11725

Uhh no,

that is the standard metropcs code that works on all metropcs phones. I always use it on other peoples phones when they tell me they are not receiving their texts, or texts take too long to come in. That code should work on any MetroPCS phone. It allows you to reprogram the phone on the network refreshing everything, hence usually fixing any slow data / no texts / slow texts etc..

Interesting. It does bring up a menu, but it's a totally different menu, and only seems to have the options to change phone number, or apply sdcard update.

NY11725

Yes,

you click on NAM Programming .

Then you click on Edit

Then, the first thing is MDN which contains your phone number, click ok

Then you have the MIN which also contains your phone number, click ok

Then you have SID which is normally 6503, but can differ based on location, click ok

Now, hit Done

The phone should reboot.

Now, everything network wise is reset / refreshed.

Just don't change anything.

Feel free to do this very simple process if your data is acting weird, texts are slow, or you're not receiving texts at all. This can do wonders.

Do you happen to know the code for sprint, or where I can get it??? I have a friend having problems getting delayed txts with their phone.

NY11725

Negative, I do not.

The Sprint codes can be completely different. The sequence to even get to that screen asking for the service code is most likely different. I would simply do a google search, I am sure the information your friend needs can be found.

Sepero

What key words should I search for?

Gman9831

Try Sprint Marquee Dialer Codes

Continuing thread from this location:
unlock lg motion for gsm?

Gman9831

Oh no you had said your friend needed to get to that menu one of those sprint dialer codes should get you there, sprint has them the same for all phones

Sepero

I'm using ##LGSERVICEMENU, and I don't see anything noticably different. Perhaps I should be using another keycode? Is there an odex that goes with this apk?

Gman9831

No odex
Try to see if entering *#*#4636#*#* gets you anywhere

Sepero

No problem. I'm about to go to sleep now, so I'll do it when I wake up. If it still shows nothing, anything else I might try?

PS:
Under the LGSerMenu, the setting NETWORK LOCK may have some value. Unlocking the network may open up options in other areas of the menus (or possibly not). idk. Just a thought.

PPS:
I screwed up my phone with one of the settings in the menus. I think it was the CDG2? The result was that trying to download any new apps resulted in disk out of space error. Thankfully I did a system backup in advance. So restored it and everything was good again.

night night

Gman9831

Tried the network lock probably just let's you use a sim card from another carrier if your able to switch to gsm

Sepero

*#*#4636#*#*
That gives nothing, neither with the default or S3 HiddenMenu.apk

So I guess I'm out of options for now. No sign of gsm yet.

Gman9831

Yea I'm out of options, only thing thats left is to try ##PROGRAM770

Sepero

##PROGRAM770
Appears the same as ##626*

Sepero

I just wanted to add a link you mentioned before to this thread. The one about adding GSM to the SG3.
How to Turn your Rooted Verizon Galaxy S3 into World SIM Phone! | Galaxy S3 Root

Sepero

The SG3 sets the GSM under a menu/app titled "Device info". Do you think there may be anyway we can get that menu on the LG?

Gman9831

That's one of the menus you get when you do *#*#4636#*#* but LG blocked it, it's also blocked on the s3 but you can just use the phone info app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo&hl=en&referrer=utm_ source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term% 3Dphone+info+app to bypass it

Gman9831

Starting to think the best bet of getting this would be whenever we get a rom thats fully working or find how lg is blocking it

Sepero

Oh gosh yeah, brain loop. I remember that phone info app reports
"This application does not work on this device"

Gman9831

Wonder how LG's blocking it because i remember on the app before it popped up "This application does not work on this device" all the information & settings had loaded.

Sepero

I tried installing Phone Info as a system app, but still no dice. Perhaps there is another app that serves a similar function?

In the extreme case, Phone Info could be disassembled and reconfigured to let us in no matter what.

Gman9831

The phone info app is basically just like *#*#4636#*#* is a shortcut hiddenmenu.apk so somehow LG has put a block on whichever activity the hidden menu

But can you try 3845#*770#

ryanms3030

I noticed when I do this my MIN number is not the same as my phone number. I had someone walk me through this on the phone at Metropcs and they said that was correct that the number is a different number for the MIN but they didn't elaborate (or know) why. Do you know what this min is?

ZeroShot

same question I was going to ask?

2GigayteSD

Let me Google that for you...

From what I got from a Metro worker MIN is an identifier of the location your phone was activated from.

sammyz

Nope, each person has a different MIN number. Me and my parents got our Motions all on the same day, same store, same time. Each one of our MINs are different.

Don't mess with your MIN number,.you will stop receiving calls and won't be able to call anyone yourself...not even your own voicemail.
It stands for Mobile Identification Number. Not sure why that and an IMEI is required though.
