LG-V10 H961N Wifi Not Working - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I recently bought LG V10 H961N Dual Sim and updated it to its latest OTA Nougat update. After the update everything was working fine but when I check wifi it was not turning on. I checked its MAC address and it show 02:00:00:00 like this. Now I know a method to fix it by rooting the device but that is subjected to unlocking the bootloader which in not available for my device. I checked it on my LG account where I requested for unlock and they said it is not available for you device.
Now, please tell me how can I fix this issue and Can I go back to MM, if yes then how?

Mine stopped working after I unlocked the bootloader

Unable to start wi-fi

Just had system update notifier, so I installed it (am now on build no: 1.21.405.2 CL174215) and am unable to start wi-fi or bluetooth?
Could it be anything to do with this being an orange handset that I have de-branded?
Same problem after update, but bluetooths works, but get messege unable to start WIFI
anyideas ?
I've got this issue too. Debranded T-Mobile device.
hi everyone !
same problem for me, french Desire Orange unbranded ...
only WiFi does not work. Bluetooth seems ok.
hi all, I think we all are in the same boat, it appeared that only debranded phones are affected. mine debranded T-Mobile as well. damn, I was so happy when I saw an OTA update at the first time. who could expect it will kill my wi-fi. however, I've seen guys on another forum that the problem is solved if you reload the full ROM from the beginning, even 1.21 works great. I've just downloaded one from this thread, going to install now and see. the problem is that you have to back up everything because it will kill all data on your phone. personally I'm not going to backup as there's not much to loose there for me and I wish to have a very clean install. cheers!
Same problem here with french Orange de-branded and not rooted ....
I'm going to try a radio upgrade, it could handle the problem, but it seems that newest radios sim lock Orange phones
Same problem with my debranded T-Mobile Desire. Can't flash the original RUU I found here in this forum. My desire starts and hangs at the black screen showing the HTC Logo but did not continue flashing the rom. By unplugging the USB Cable the bootloader appears and show 0.75. I thought it must show 0.80 ? Any ideas how to flash the rom that brings back my WLAN?
For anyone experiencing Wi-Fi problems, check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6650144#post6650144
I helped another member to get his Wi-Fi connection working after he had upgraded to the latest modified Kernel version by Richard Trip.
Note: Your phone will need to be rooted to apply the kernel flash zip file in recovery mode.
Best Regards,
Mas.
well I'm back up and running but only after buying an unlock code from htccode (Thanks Sudarshan)
Couldn't see a way round it as I'm not rooted but I suppose, although the handset is branded, it's now unlocked and running htc software instead of that sodding orange messed up stuff!
OK I solved the problem with the broken WiFi Connection.
I replaced the ROM with one posted here in this forum.
I just flashed it and after the reboot, i have had the new ROM with a working WiFi Connection.
There is a strange thing that I revognized during the procedure. The ROM with the broken WiFi Link showed me a bootloader version of 0.75, after the flash I got 0.80.
I would be interested if some users have the 0.75 bootloader too even after the update.
Hope I could help some of you guys still having the problem.

Flash one of the kernels (boot.img) and bcm439.ko. Richard Trip is the only one that has them packaged, so download his and flash via recovery. make sure your wifi is off first.

You've to unlock your phone. Go to "htcsimunlock.com", enter your phone modell and your IMEI No. You'll get the requested unlock code but you've to pay for.
Made the same procedure yesterday and it worked fine without unlocking the device. Maybe it's because it won't be nessessary in germany, I don't know.

Hi
Did you need to pay Orange to get the unlock code? I'm in the same position you were in. Unbranded HTC Desire from Orange.
Thanks

[Q] Phone issues

we unlocked this phone a few months ago and everything was working great.
last week sometime my son stopped receiving calls and txts and had a simcard icon showing that his sim card is locked. we did some troubleshooting with virgin and they determined he needed a new sim. so we restored this phone back to default and now there is still the sim card icon at the top of the screen. when we rebooted the phone it asks for a network unlock code. we were told by virgin to contact rogers to get this code. they were unable to help. i tried entering the unlock code that you provided us previously and we get an error unsuccessful unlock.
any ideas would be great.
so after almost two weeks of working with virgin and cellunlocker.net we still have not been able to get this phone working. im being told that sometimes when you update the firmware like we did the phone becomes re locked to the original carrier. i was sent a file to reload the stock firmware but the application just crashes when i run it. Does anyone know what i can do to get this phone up and running?? please help. thank you

Probably not a rom issue.
Probably will need to know what android version. ICS Official apparently has an issue with relocking from what I have read.

LG G4 H815 no Service after Marshmallow Update!

Hi! Guys I'm new here. I need a little help. I just updated my LG G4 to marshmallow using LG Bridge. The update was successful. After the update I had to factory reset my phone because of problem. Since then I am having trouble with it. I've inserted a fully working sim card but it's still showing me Emergency Calls Only. I've tried other sim cards and also have reset my phone again but the problem is still there. Before the update the phone was running excellent no problems at all .I can't figure out how I can solve this problem. If anyone has got a solution please help me.
Thank.

cannot unlocked bootloader because my device ID is not recognised

Your device failed verification message after every boot

I got a z2 play today and right after the first start it turned off and this message started appearing (it's the same than on my g4 plus that has unlocked bootloader but the Z obviously doesn't
I'm from brazil
Do I need to get my phone replaced?
or is there any fix I can do myself?
Obviously this is reason for concern and but let me put a positive spin on this ...
Let's assume you got a new device (not refurbished / used), and the device is working just fine. This could be actually good news. Because that message usually shows up after unlocking the bootloader. Unfortunately unlocking normally cancels your warranty. You can only unlock the phone by requesting a special unlock code from Motorola. This way Motorola can easily check whether you unlocked your phone and decline (warranty) service. But since you have never done that, you might have an bootloader unlocked phone with warranty.
> or is there any fix I can do myself?
You could research "fastboot oem lock" but if the above is true, there will not be any advantage whatsoever to do that.
I faced the same issue
after normal use ,no root or unlock bootloader
my phone crashing frequently
and after reboot I Received that error
and I can't update anything via OTA
I started a topic at Lenovo Forum
an Expert suggest me to return it to vendor
so I return it the vendor yesterday
now I hope for a full refund.
Here is a link to Lenovo forum

I fixed it myself by installing the stock room via abd fastboot, if anyone is facing this problem, my phone is working normal and the message is gone so I bet I got a fix.

Unlocked sprint lg g8 on new network that doesn't have its own firmware

Ok before I start I just want to say I'm a complete noob at android and how it works (got my first android a month ago) so don't get too angry if I say something stupid :/
So I bought an unlocked sprint g8 off of ebay but switched to another carrier called mint (uses t-mobile network) so I'm not sure how the software updates work. I'm aware I won't be getting updates from sprint, but I know that I have gotten 1 or 2 updates from lg since I got it. I'm a little confused as to if the updates from lg are all I need or if they are just security patches, and if there is a way to install sprint updates anyway.
I know I can solve this by unlocking the bootloader and installing custom roms once they start coming out, and on sprint I can enable oem unlock, but there is no way to access fast boot. If I do adb reboot-bootloader (or whatever the command is) it just does a normal restart. If I'm not wrong I should be able to do the bootloader unlock after lg adds the g8 to their supported devices, but I don't know how I'll be able to do this without accessing the fastboot. Recovery mode seems to be incomplete too (I can't use adb in recovery I think the drivers are not installed yet), so I think part of the sprint firmware is still kind of in a beta. So if the not being able to access fastboot and an incomplete recovery mode is a problem with the sprint firmware, will the lg updates themselves be able to solve this? Or is there anything else I'm completely missing?
Sorry if that was a little confusing but any answers would be great!
You will still get software updates. I have a sprint lg g8 unlocked on cricket and yesturday i just recieved the August 1 security software update.
I don't have an answer to your question, but does your Sprint model get VoLTE on Mint/T Mobile? Thinking about buying one.

There is almost a 0% chance LG will let US variants be unlocked. And with the impl lock we cant even crossflash the G8, so yea you are stuck with the sprint rom.
Your phone will update. Received August Security patch yesterday. Use ADB to remove Sprint bloat.
Any way to get WiFi calling to work on mint mobile using an unlocked Sprint G8?
I just received Android 10 update on LG G8. I'm on Total Wireless. The biggest thing is RCS is working now. It's a great update btw.

Just do reset to default with ##3282# and it will adjust to your current sim. Often mms needs that
After reset apn, my issues got resolved
