LG g3 call and SMS block lost phone. - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I'd like to know if there is any way to unlock this phone, a friend of mine just found it in a cab, and 3g is working but not calls and SMS.
Any solution?
I guess is something related with the country I think the phone is Italian not sure.
Really thanks I appreciate.

There is one good way of unlocking it.

BA - 3 beeps when calling out

howdy folks
thanks for the great site.
ive had my BA for over a year...despite the occassional hangup it works fairly well. however all of a sudden when i try to make an outgoing call other than to my voicemail i get 3 beeps and the call is then ended. the weird thing is that this doesnt happen all of the time and with no apparent pattern.
i cant understand why this is happening as i havenet changed any of the software / network.
please help me !! i'm very tempted to see how many pieces i can break it into with one throw.

That is the behaviour of a network barred handset.
Richard
hey thanks for the reply
however there is no reason for my phone to be network barred ! i bought the phone while on the o2 network, had it unlocked and have been on vodafone for over a year with it working fine. i understand if it was barred it would block all my calls (maybe except vmail). thing is the 3 beeps i get are intermittant and dont happen with every call.
do you think it could be something to do with changes to vodafone and the way the xda works with vodafone. i'm not a techie person, but even this reason sounds unlikely to me.
any further ideas would be appreciated
many thanks
ramir
oh yeah...forgot to mention...i've had the phone since new and am the 1st and only owner of it
i get this sometimes also... and i think mine has to do with wm5, but im not for sure....
ok but i'm running WM2003se
is there anything that you do to your mobile to get it to dial out?
does anyone think that a rom upgrade or a radio upgrade may solve my problem?

Radio 1.46.11 no call in in China

After install offical version of CHT WM2006, I found no phone call in in China. Now, switch to 1.41.11.
Anyone has experience this?
i am in china .
radio 1.146 is no problem on my phone
dont understand what you are saying???
what do you mean by found no phone call? nobody call you? cannot get through or what?

[Q] SHV-E250K issue

Hey Guys..
I recently purchased an SHV-E250K phone from Korean.
Everytime i boot it up, it shows that Olleh Logo, instead of the samsung logo
Looking around i found out that it is "still locked by a contract for one of the korean mobile providers"
I dont know if thats try or not, but some apps that i have on my phone, still display korean language, even though i was able to change the default language and keyboard to English US
I currently live in the Netherlands, so when i try and access my voicemail from the Dialpad, the icon of the tape or wheel (or whatever u call it) next to the number 1, is not there. So when i keep pressing the number 1 button, it asks me to create a speed dial shortcut thing. I know it should ask me to enter my VM number, but it doesnt in my case
In relation to that, when i receive a call, and i reject the call, it automatically hangs up on the caller, not forward the caller to my VM
i have been struggeling with this for almost a month now (since i got the phone), i even emailed samsung support in Korea, they cant help.
I was able to root the phone successfully, no issues there, and i was able to install triangle away, and all that good stuff, but for the life of me, i cant find anywhere to fix the issue that i have.
i am really desperate to get this fixed, so any help on how to get rid of this whole crappy OLLEH thing on my phone, i would greatly apprecaite it.
thanks
Thanks
I've been working with an Olleh E250K in the US for a while. I had to unlock it and this worked for me.

Thanks for the info. But what I found out is that the phone was already unlocked, just it had that olleh stupid rom that displayed their logo at boot up. I managed to get rid of it by installing another rom. But the issue still is that I cant reject calls and get them to vm. Instead it hangs up on the caller. Still reaserching a solution for that.
Does urs do the same?

any feedback is highly appreciated.. This issue is driving me nuts now

Have you solved this yet?
When you root your device you can change it to anything you want. it's call Bootloader Animation.
There are some apps on the Play Store that will do this, and some guides online for how to make your own.
I changed mine to the game Portal boot animation instead of the olleh logo.
I, on the other hand, am in the situation you thought you were in. I have a Note 2 SHV-E250K that is SIM locked, and I need it unlocked before I leave for the USA (in 2 months from now).
any ideas on how to do this?

I tried your link, but it seems to be non-existent now. I also searched on the unlocksamsungonline site, as well as others, and I cannot seem to find the Note ii Korean olleh model on any of them. And sorry to contradict you, but I found rooting it to be very easy with CF Auto Root.
Might you or anyone else have some suggestions or advice for how I can Unlock the SIM and whatever else I need to do to prepare my Note2 for use in the USA?
Thank you in advance!

hey man..
no I have not solved it yet.. still with the VM issue, everything else is working/fixed
when I bought by phone from Korea, it was already unlocked, so unlocking this baby would be out of my knowledge.. sorry man
I heard though.. the K model, like urs and mine, are the most difficult to unlock in comparison to the S and the L
on a side note.. do they sell over there the digitizer and screen for the K model?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by digitizer, nor which location? from fixing a friend's iPhone, i remember that term being used for screens, which was her (my friend's) issue. I did a google search, and the wacom S-Pen came up it digitizer as well. If you are talking about Korea as the location, and the digitizer is, or it for S-Pen? then yes. a replacement for a cracked screen? I'm 99% sure they do. Screen protector? of course. if it was made for the samusng phone, it can easily be found in Korea at both the samsung service centers and the private fixing shops.
As for your boot animation logo;
Is your phone rooted?
- if yes, then download a Boot Animation app from google Play store, and choose one you like. most of the apps will work automatically. the samsung file system is slightly different than other android phones, so consistency is not guaranteed.
- if still yes, a second alternative is to make and inject a boot animation yourself. this guide should help get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971828
-if no, then get it rooted so you can do these things. CF Auto Root worked best for me. find your device model here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ download the .tar and flash with Odin.
assuming you are in the USA, do you think an AT&T store or Sprint or (etc...) can unlock it for me when I arrive?

location I am referring to, you are in seoul
Digitizer, is what every phone has.. you have the screen, and right below it is the digitizer. For our phones, if you will replace the screen, you would have to replace the digitizer also (which normally are glued together)
my screen is cracked, and I need the screen with the digitizer. The Samsung repair place her say they don't have the digitzer/screen for my phone because the K model has the tv antenna, and it is only for the Korean model. The European model (I live in the Netherlands) does not have that antenna
as for the bootanimation.. that was fixed long time ago.. it was part of the ROM.. Stupid Olleh company added it as part of the ROM
So that got fixed, I now have the stock Samsung bootanimation, and the ROM is all English, nothing is Korean. Except that my phone is Korean
The issue I am having still is the voicemail forward when I reject the call.
I tried everything.. but that's cool.. I am getting close of finding a resolution to fix this issue.. That's why I waited that long and search all over this forum until I found a lot of answers to my questions, including for the issue that I am having
in regards to the digitizer/screen
they told me here that the only way is to get that kit from korea.. is there a way for you (since you are in Seoul) to find out for me please which place has those and if they would ship internationally ?
Thanks

Ah ok, I fully understand now.
Sorry I'm unsure of how to get the voicemail to work... I'm usually good at those kinds of things, but I haven't needed voicemail here, so i have yet to experience that...
Yes there are many locations that sell the screen and digitizer, shipping internationally is the hard part...
I think one of your best options would be to checkout a website called GMarket (korean version of amazon, has an english translation) im pretty sure they ship internationally, some of it is still in korean... you might need the help of a korean.
Another one is auction.co.kr but this one is all on korean last time i saw it.
Next time i head to an electronics market here, i'll ask for you and post back here if they can ship it to you.
thank you.. I will try those site, and I appreciate it if you can please, about checking an electronic store, or even a Samsung repair center.. just to make sure to get an original part for the phone, if you know what I mean
thanks

Hi, I hope this helps... I think you can flash at&t roms to shv e250s/l/k provided that you also flash JS kernel.
I can't post the link, but you can go ahead and google it.
Sent from my SHV-E250K using xda app-developers app
not just the sj kernel, but you CANT flash the modem, otherwise you will brick the phone.. so you would need to choose NO for modem

[Q] LG G3 McaFee issues big time

Hi everyone
This is my first post here and a sad one at present.
i restored my G3 back to stock last night and all seemed to go well but now my phone says McaFee mobile security your device is locked and is asking for a pin to unlock it.
i don't have this pin and i don't have a clue how to get it, i purchased the phone as a used mobile and it was all good until i did the root back to stock because lollipop was causing some serious lag issues.
can anyone please help me with a way around this if possible
big thanks in advance
Contact the person who sold you the phone. He entered the PIN. McAfee thinks the phone is stolen now.
You can try flashing stock firmware (kdz) file with CSE flash. It could help

Thanks for the reply
I contacted the seller and it seems the phone is infact 3rd hand if not more and basically he does not have the pin
i did the firmware flash and thats why I'm in the pickle now as the phone knows its been factory reset and MacaFee kicks in for security, the sellers not interested as he sold me the phone working which it was but lollipop was just killing the phone when i updated it and after trying to get back to kitkat I'm in brick land
If anyone else has a suggestion or can help then please do get in touch if possible
Thank you
In fact the previous owner set up an account here: McAffee Mobile Security.
Contact someone there and explain your situation.
I will contact McAfee for sure and see if they can help me but I do believe the answer I will receive will be can't help and I come to this conclusion through general security measure because I'm pretty sure anyone could steel a phone and call them up asking for the unlock code but let's see what they say.
If anyone has had this happen and have found a way around the issue please do send me a private message if you don't wish to publish it as I am stuck big time at present
Cheers
I have just got off the phone with McAfee customer support here in the UK and well to be blunt I'm up that creek without a paddle
Nothing they can do for me because even though the software licence is valid and I have the original owners email address that confirms this because I don't have a prof of purchase for the phone like a receipt or mobile number for the original owner they can not help me I'm anyway
All they said I can do is to keep emailing the owner with this email address and hope for a reply and if I get one enter the pin and it will unlock
So people be very careful if you don't have the pin for your phone as it looks like I have just lost £240 and now have a brick to look at
Again if any of you wonderfully cleaver people know of a fix please do help me out if possible
Thanks
Joe

have you tried any diff roms or cyanogen mod? maybe a diff software wont have the mcafee on like cyanogen mod
No I haven't tried to put any other software on because I can no longer access download mode as the McAfee has a kill switch and won't let me do anything from what I can see.
All I can do it switch on my device I can't even get into setting properly because the McAfee block kicks in to quickly and I've tried probably 20 odd times
If anyone can explain a way for me to flash another operating system onto my handset please get in touch as I will try anything rather than have a dead phone and e out of pocket

Can't receive calls/text messages

Hello all, before I start, I just want to say that English is not my native language so please be nice to me . Okay here's the issue:
I have a HTC One M8 (T-mobile version), it is not rooted and using t mobile stock rom right now. For the past 2 days, I can text and call other people but they can't call/text me ( what weird is that when I call other people and they pick up the phone, all the texts that they have sent me arrive on my phone). This is my first time experiencing this issue, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you tried contacting T-Mobile? It sounds like a Network issue that's likely on their end. Only recieve text when you make a secure connection to a tower.
If you haven't talked to them about it already do so. Let them know to either refresh your connection to the tower... Basically what they do is tell you to turn off your phone and they remove your phone from the tower so when you turn it back on it's as if it's the first time on the tower. Or have them reconfirm the right IMEI of the phone is on your account.
Either way what you are describing sounds like it's their fault.
