For those struggling to get data via RUIM... One of my friend .. keegenohp [ name alphabets reversed to hide identity] was having same issue ... he had programmed phone initially via NV mode and everything was working ...but no data on RUIM But this sunday afternoon .. both of us were bored and had nothing to do .. so began investigating that what have we done different that data is working on mine and not his on RUIM.. and suddenly I Had What Alcoholics Refer to as a 'Moment of Clarity' On my G2 i didnt do any change and just changed the NV mode to RUIM only ... keegenohp on the other hand, had already done NV changes along with data dump akey etc and was later trying by changing to RUIM only mode... keegenohp being a smart guy he is ... had an original EFS backup of the phone [before he did any finger in it that is] ... So he restored it back and voilà!... Data started working on RUIM along with Call and Text of course.. So here is the path for all those Neo`s struggling to find the access code to Xion mainframe.

Right now the super battery is in only one phone. I'm using it now. LS980 G2 by LGSent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

There is not a single thread which gives all the information regarding the LS980. also i was getting lot of pm's regarding the GSM unlock. so basically this thread will have all the information, if anything is left out please feel free so message me or in thread. Phone Config LG-G2-LS980 Phone Drivers LS980 Drivers My Experience Personally i was a Samsung fan until they came out with the Kn0x security. i had 2 choice the Note 3 and the LG G2, since the Note 3 had issues with data not working on CDMA mode and the G2 was and still is wallet friendly, so i decided to go with the G2 and till date i DO NOT regret it. LAG is something that is simply not in its dictionary, super smooth. Like the HTC One this phone is also sealed and comes in 2 variants 16 and 32 Gigs. Initially only 2 colors Black and White, now the actual(international) site has many different ones. This one is a LCD compared to the S4 with AMOLED, To be frank only if you have the two phones together you might see the difference. I found the G2 to be more vibrant and a lil brighter side compared to the S4. 1000 times more accurate smartstay display than the S4, Same with auto brightness. Feels much lighter than the S4 and the build quality is anyday better than S4, feels solid in hand. Many have debated about the volume and power keys being at the back, actually its something you have to try and then understand, now if i handle any other phone than my G2 i tend to Tap the display 2 times softly to get the screen going, like the home or power button, im so used to it now. Tap 2 times on display to lock the screen & same to to light the display back again. Initially when i first got the phone i used to tap hard thinking that was the right way and 7/10 times it used to work, did not know that one has to tap very lightly as possible. Soft tap 2 times gets it locked and vice-versa 10/10 times. Its actually easier to use volume rockers in the center position then one side like anyother phone. Theres more to this phone and i dont have the patience nor time to explain everything. Phone definitely requires a case to protect it from fall, i have the Spigen Slim Armour. Runs on 4.2.2JB and 2 updates have been released till date. LS980ZV7 (Initial Release) LS980ZV8 (Security Update) LS980ZVA (Sprint Spark and loki-killer) Not used in India so i have not taken it. LS980ZVC (KitKat 4.4.2 OS Update) Also if you are a custom ROM freak DO NOT INSTALL the ZVA update as it removes the ability to do that. People who have taken it do not worry as there is a work around. Custom ROM installation for people who have taken ZVA update. Only if you understand everything mentioned in the above link proceed else you just might end up with a hard brick.

Recovery for KitKat 4.4.2 LS980ZVC SOURCE GSM Unlock For G2 LS980 This is a temporary GSM unlock & not a permanent or a solid one. Two known issues, you cant access Wi-Fi settings, as it crashes if you try to access, and you cant dial any number without adding 0 before it. Example: Sunny Leons phone number is 6969696969, to call her you gotta dial 06969696969. If you dial direct 6969696969 the phone app crashes and your phone switches to GSM mode if you are in CDMA mode. As far as i know these are only 2 known bugs this unlock has. hope we get a more stable unlock. Install ROM Toolbox Lite 1 Run Rom Toolbox Lite and select performance marked in red 2 Select build.prop editor marked in red 3 Select search using the magnifying glass icon below marked in red 4 In search field type "build.target" as shown in pic below 5 Select "ro.build,target_operator" as show in pic below 6 Change value from "SPR" to "spr" as show in pic below and press ok marked in yellow. 7 Reboot popup will come, select ok and reboot the phone. Your phone should be GSM unlocked now. Install HIAPN or Tweakker for APN settings of your service provider. Install Telinfo to switch between CDMA(CDMA Auto PRL) & GSM(GSM Auto PRL) Permanent Unlock for the LG-G2-LS980

Dipan ji Airtel is also offering 4G on iPhone 5c/5s at Bangalore using the same 4G SIM

GSM Unlock For LG G2 LS980 has been achieved. Again this is a permanent GSM unlock for G2 LS980 by Sprint. Data now works on GSM and CDMA (NV) modes. This is not a build.prop edit or mod unlock for GSM which is only temporary and has issues with WiFI settings and not able to dial with the use of 0 before any number. This unlock is complete stock. Enables Rev-B also for CDMA section. Enables Roaming settings and also most important enables APN settings. Can access WiFi settings without crash, can also dial any number without the use of 0. COMPLETE UNLOCK. Phone can 2 numbers one GSM on SIM and CDMA on MEID. Any one active at any given time. Below are screenshots of working data in GSM and CDMA NV mode with Roaming settings and APN settings.

If rooting is not a must, this is the best phone at the moment Sent from my droid MAXX using Tapatalk

SNS are the best option out there right now. They don't have any control over the amount of duty being charged but at least they are honest about it. HSG/comGateway are not good if you are from North India as customs department in Delhi is notoriously bad for overcharging. Best experience I have heard of till date is by people from Mumbai. As for SNS it works out if one ships a lot of stuff via them as you are bound to get good luck as much as there are chances of bad luck. Case and point being my latest 2 shipments via SNS. 1) Contained 2 HTC One MAX - Duty charged 6300 which is alright as that would put the assessed value of the package at 90k which is what the phones cost in India. Still a lot more than what I would like to have paid. 2) Contained 1 HTC One MAX and 1 LG G2 - Duty charged 534. I was literally laughing as to how did that happen. So all in all I end up paying around 6800 as duty for 4 phones which is more than acceptable and still less than what the cheats at PPOBox would have charged me without any proof. Experience has been similar with all the last 10-12 phones I had got shipped via SNS. Only problem with them is that the service is very slow as compared to PPOBox/HSG but then there are no hassles and as said above, Ms. Anuradha is very helpful. I used to ship with them earlier and even in those days my experience had been very good due to the great CS provided by Ms. Anuradha and her team.

^ Do not use comGateway if you are going to get your shipment in or via Delhi. Your phone is going to get stuck in customs. Delhi customs is nutritious for harassing..... My shipment via comGateway landed in Bangalore on Monday 4 AM and is still in customs.....DHL didn't do a thing to help me. This despite Bangalore having a good reputation of customs. PPOBox had some bad weather issues and people misused it by ordering large number of phones with false values....hence the trouble. My recommendation - go with PPOBox with insurance.....they use bulk clearance and the odds of your phone getting stuck are low...especially if it is not a new one. I do not know how good ShopNShip is....but they are the cheapest if you want to order just one phone. However you will have to open an account with them.... @KanishkGandharv...can you please share Anuradha's contact ?

If you have a sprint htc one, then just read first page of this thread, you need to do tweak for using it on gsm,

Phone is in USB diagnosis mode so its asking for unknown intf2 drivers. U can turn off diagnosis mode by above mention methods. For reverting back to stock there are many stock zip on xda Also if stock tar / Odin is require let me know will upload. For turning off autoupdate I have already mention tweak in nexus original thread. Will suggest mods to mearge this topic with original nexus thread. tapatalking.....

Install Sprintdignostic apk from this thread http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/26585-programming-softwares/ and disable usb diagnostics mode. If it doesnt install, copy it to system/app folder using root explorer.
