i have a lg x power previously with virgin mobile now freedompop my laptop wont acknowledge connection so i can download music not connecting via usb or bluetooth not sure why thinking it has something to do with having an update from a legit carrier since my authorization with freedompop was hinkey
is there a work around should i root i dont know any suggestions would be appreciated
 
I wouldn't have thought that carrier unlocking, whether "hinky" or not, would have affected connectivity by Bluetooth or USB. What was the exact method you used to unlock the phone? Also what eactly happens when you try connecting it to a computer by Bluetooth or USB, any errors?

Carrier unlocking usually just allows you to use a different network's SIM, e.g. using FreedomPop instead of Virgin Mobile, and that's all it does AFAIK.
