LG Lucid 2 -VS870 - on GSM?

[meskalin]

On gsmarena says that Lucid 2 is global phone and can be used on gsm network. Has anyone used it on gsm? To be more specific my concern is: -Is Lucid 2 intenationally unlocked?

 

[elnaog]

yes is gsm phone but is blocked and when you try a diffent sim card no signal no nothing

Do you know if it's blocked only in US or everywhere because I want to use it in Europe.

bro im in dominican republic, is more a software issue cause no way that you can enter a code or change the network or toogle between gsm and cdma if u try an app to change setting pop up a window that said (this app doesnt work on this device) or something like that we need a gsm rom for this phone

 

[meskalin]

hmm...too bad looks like a nice phone for the money
did you try to dial *#*#4636#*#* on HTC and Motorola opens up a menu and if you choose phone information you can change the mode GSM, CDMA, LTE,... anyway thanks a lot

 

[elnaog]

already try that the only one that works is ##7764726870 this but nothing there hope that we can find a gsm rom for this phone

I think GSMArena is wrong. I don't think this is a world phone.
Phonearena and Phonescoop both say this is a CDMA-only phone.

The lucid 2 is global.
To use gsm you need to edit the build.prop

 

[GnatGoSplat]

What do you need to change in build.prop?

 

[elnaog]

bro tell me how pllis (yo trate pero ningun cambio comparte)

 

[dduck]

Changing "ro.build.target_operator=VZW" in build.prop unlocks network toggle. Change VZW to anything. Then use any phone info app to toggle. I tried but cannot toggle to GSM. Instantly goes back to CDMA

Edit: i have lg spectrum 2 vs930 which has exact same hardware as lucid 2. VS930 has GSM.
If someone can guide me how to backup and flash baseband from VS930 to VS870 maybe we can make GSM work.

Edit: Changing "ro.build.target_operator=VZW" also unlocks *228

pudiste poner a trabajar el LG Lucid 2 para GSM??? soy de aqui tambien

 

[elnaog]

no mijo todav

 

[gurid12]

so, if i unlock this phone, it can works in europe on gsm networks?

 

[GnatGoSplat]

Doubtful. I think this is a CDMA-only phone. There are people claiming it has GSM capability, but so far no one has offered any proof of that.

Hi.

First, all thanks to @GameTheory, your job help very much to test this phone.

Mi opinion is, this phone is hard locked, I can try to Sim Unlock this with other LG model ROM enter the code 2945#*870# an this send the message "this phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked" in all options.

1. Test, Zip recovery ROMs tested and Ported:

Root the phone and install Recovery (Loki patch).

Xperion_l1v_11-2-2014.zip is base ROM

Extract all system files to:

- VS870 (Edit build.prop and test kernel "Unsecured_kernel_l1v_9-25-14.zip")
- LG875
- V930
- P870
- Sphinx_Escape_V1 (Works 2945#*870# code, only acept LTE/CDMA and CDMA to select in settings)

Then inject system folder in base ROM (Xperion), and install from recovery.


2. Test, KDZ files tested to test own kernels:

- LG p780 works, touch fail
- LS930 No works, freeze the updater
- MS770 No works, Display problems


To return to original rom, Run the updater with the VS870 kdz file.

Final observations:

I do not know how to inject apks and files in the framework folder without generating an error or boot loops.

I try to mix the system folder of various roms, but I had problems with locks and system apps crash.
