[Walid Gadhoumi]

My phone LG optimus f6 is permanently locked,is it possible to unlock it?

 

[Masterchief87]

Are you talking about sim unlock or bootloader unlock?

 

[Walid Gadhoumi]

I'am talking about sim provider locked, I have finished the ten attempts to unlock my phone but without resolving the problem? ?l'am actually in Tunisia,l can't use my phone with mobile networks in my country
Note l have lost my sim card metro pcs

Are you saying you used a code to unlock you're simcard, & youre having what issue exactly?

 

[Walid Gadhoumi]

I finished the ten attempts of the unlocking process, but "your phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked" from that day I can not enter any code again, still show "your phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked"

 

[The-Truth]

You have to Google search around for what is called a (Keypress Combination Code) its just a series and set of buttons you press that as allows you to re-enter you're phone. I locked myself out once er twice back in the day this is how I got back in.

 

[The-Truth]

It's just a code for instance I'm on an LG theyre Keypress combo for me on every LG I ever owned is hold power and vol down at the same time as and as soon as the LG logo shows itself I let off power real quick then press power again and for me since I have a custom recovery am able to flash a ROM if I have one on my SD card which I do, or to flash my nandroid backup, need root for this level of action. When you figure out you're Keypress not sure if you're stock or not but if you're stock OS then if nothing is damaged, in you're case you should be fine if you just locked yourself out. You have to find Keypress combo for you're phone and maker and you will be taken either to stock factory data reset screen or a custom recovery like mine where you can even get back to exactly where you left off with a nandroid backup this requires root. but yes you're phone can be unlocked and very easy!

He isn't locked out of his phone. He was trying to unlock it so that he could use a sim card for a different carrier. This is called sim unlocking. He entered the wrong unlock code too many times and now he can't sim unlock his phone which means that it can only be used with MetroPCS. This is completely different from a lock screen password, pattern, or pin #. I doubt that a factory reset will give him more attempts to unlock his phone.

 

[The-Truth]

I locked myself out same way he did and got back in same way I described.

 

[The-Truth]

I didn't understand sim lock unlock myself a while ago I've locked myself out of sim and screen, I called metroPCS they will also give me a puk code to put in if he's locked himself out of sim. that puk code is also located on the back of the card that the sim is punched out of.

All I know is that they go in /system/etc/init.d

Hi, I just got this phone and i rooted it and was deleteing a bunch of bloat, and I accidentally deleted the lg home app. Now my phone doesn't function properly. I tried other launchers with no success. Please don't try to troubleshoot this for me i just need the LG home apk. Much appreciated

Download xperion ROM and extract it from the zip. Moving forward, it would be a good idea to learn how to use twrp and titanium backup.

Nah sorry it's a pretty old phone and seems like most folks have moved on from it including myself. It's still a fun project you can take on though and see how far you get.

Well I know someone who has a lot of dev experience and successfully ported cm12.1 to various phones. However he does not have this phone. Can you please please donate your F6 for development since you said you moved on I'd truly appreciate it my money's kinda tight
