need IMEI for AT&T lg optimus g to see if it works on my carrier lol
thanks
i need it because i wanna see if it works with bell networks
OR can you check on bell.ca for me?
wondering if it could work on bell networks?
I think the OG and N4 can pick up every gsm band in the world. I doubt anyone would be willing to give you their IMEI

IMEI is a unique number for each specific phone, you would need the number from the phone you were going to (possibly) buy.
You should mention your carrier, maybe somebody has already tried it and can confirm whether it works or not.
Also, if you are getting the AT&T version, you would need to get it sim unlocked first.

LMFAO? like i knew everyone got different ones? i know nothing about phones. justt need to know if it can work on my carrier.
Why would the IMEI make any difference? Does Bell block other carrier's phones?
I am using ATT LGOG on Rogers in Canada, and I have heard that it works on Bell too. I can't test it though as I don't have a Bell SIM.
IMEI doesn't matter for a carrier. As long as phone is unlocked and supports the carriers frequencies, it should connect to the carrier

I'm using the AT&T LG Optimus G on Bell right now. I don't get LTE (even though LTE just came to my city) because my rate plan isn't "LTE capable" and it still has not been fixed.

I don't see why not. I still need to talk to Bell again because it says that my device and rate plan is not LTE capable. Either way, I'm more than happy with 4G.
Edit: I finally got LTE on my E970. Had to replace my SIM card (even though it was a LTE SIM) and LTE came on.
Tittle saids it all..my phone is unlocked via Adam Outler. Does that mean I can take my phone to AT&T...etc. I currently have Verizon?

You didn't even need to unlock. The phone comes sim unlocked. There is a mod you need to due though to get data by adding the apn. Is In the development section.

Are you talking about switching carriers or running an AT&T rom on your Veizon phone? You can do both. If you don't want to install the mod you can always download any of the dozens of apn apps from the appstore that will do everything for you automatically. I think with the mod you have to manually enter the required values. I may be mistaken. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

There are a few different options in the Dev forum. You can add a huge list of APNs, enable the APN editor, or both. You'll also likely want to use the modded file to disable the non-VZW SIM warning though if you do use another carrier. However, you only really need root to be able to input APN data I believe.
Seems like alot is involved. Basically the verizon note2 sim is unlocked. But in order for me to go to another carrier like AT&T, I would have to do number of things.

Just root and update the APNs. You're going to have to update the APNs if you use any carrier besides VZW on the phone.
So I am currently in possession of a Verizon branded S6 edge+ which I am planning to use with TMo, as far as the XDA community I've seen this subsection as well as subsections for the different carries ex. TMo S6 edge+, Verizon S6 edge+ etc I was wondering what the difference was, also was wondering which ssection, my guess is the Verizon subsection as the phone's innards are specific to Verizon's version but I'm just asking before I get Into the rooting (rather be safe than sorry)
Also has any one else done this? Is there any discrepancy with the signal or anything else?
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks

You can't root the Verizon variant of the Edge +. It's impossible. KNOX will hard brick the phone if it detects the /system partition is modified in any way.

working absolutely fine.
Only issue is Verizon S6 edge+ doesn't not use Band 12 which TMobile uses.
So in other words, if you using DATA and phone call comes in, you will loose data, once phone call drop your data is back again.
and you can use 4G not LTE on tmobile network.
Thats my experience.
Thanks,

Right now I have AOJ2. The updates for me anyways, have to be done manually. I get both wifi and t-mobile 4G service. What t-mobile APN are you using? I have the fast.t-mobile.com one set.
Does the tmobile sim your using work in any other phones for tmobile or any other. You may need to reactivate the tmobile sim because all verizon phones come with the gsm part unlocked for voice from Verizon so If the sim is valid it should work on voice right away.
Check your advanced calling settings. Im on vzw so i use the advanced calling option for hd voice and hd video over 4g lte so you might have to disable that. Also is the sim card your using work in tmobile lte service or just 3g?
To date has anyone figured out a way to root the Verizon variant of the s6 edge+? I'm currently using on net10 with android 5.1.1

It's impossible. KNOX prevents root. Locked bootloader. Even if you enable "OEM Unlock" in developer options, it still bricks the device and tells you that you warranty is void and you need to buy a new phone.

Hi, I am wishing to switch from sprint to boost. I cannot afford a new phone, so I need advice on how to reprogram this one (XT1526). Thanks!

Er, you do realize that Boost is a Sprint prepaid provider, right? Boost rides on the Sprint network, which is CDMA/LTE. Switching the phone to GSM/LTE will disable CDMA, which is needed for calls/text.

Boost BYOSP list: http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2016/02/sprint-changes-prepaid-byosp-again-some.html
It's a couple of months old, but I don't see any Moto devices listed on there, so chances are you won't be able to bring it to Boost.
I meant CDMA/GSM/LTE Auto PRL. Calls and text work fine.

But that wouldn't make a difference in this case. Sprint and Boost are the same network, so changing LTE/CDMA -> LTE/GSM/CDMA wouldn't help.
In that case he shouldn't need to do anything. Phone is not locked and should be able to use any SIM. I'm using a GSM SIM in Canada and voice/text works fine.

Sprint phones are Domestic SIM Locked, which means they can't be used on other US carriers. While some Sprint devices can be brought over to prepaid services like Boost (see the list I linked earlier), there aren't any Moto devices listed at all, so the Moto E LTE wouldn't be transferable. Sprint holds tight control over what devices can be used on their network and even their sub-brands.

Is the device still active on the sprint account? If so, you probably have to terminate the account first. If not, might need to contact sprint to get them to release it? Just guessing here, haven't been on sprint since the PCS days, and never activated the sprint xt1526 on any network prior to R+.

I believe you have to actually use the device on Sprint Prepaid for 12 months before they will release the phone for use on a Sprint MVNO like Boost. You used to be able to pay unlockers on ebay to get your phone unlocked earlier than that, but the prices have skyrocketed for that service due to changes Sprint made in the FED, not worth it now.
OP should just sell the phone and buy the Boost Moto E for $30 at Best Buy.
Just want to confirm that the Moto G Power works on Verizon in the USA. I see it has been rooted and such so this looks like my new phone to replace my trusty Shamu.
Thank you,

Edit: I contacted Verizon via Twitter and they confirmed it will work on their network. C&P their reply...I appreciate the prompt response. Thanks for clarifying this information for me. I reviewed information internally and the Moto G Power XT2041 is compatible with our network. Does this help answer your question?

I recently purchased this phone unlocked through best buy. How/where can I download Verizon firmware to utilize wifi calling? Google, Verizon and Motorola have ran me on circles trying to solve this.
Bestbuy sells both the unlocked version and the Verizon version. Obviously the Verizon version would work with wifi calling, but what about the unlocked version?

I have the unlocked version and it doesn't come with Wi-Fi calling. It runs only the android 10 software and Google apps for the messages and phone. I found a setting for wifi messages (though I've been having trouble sending and receiving) but no setting in the phone app or the device settings.
I'm hoping if I can find the Verizon firmware to download and enable wifi calling.

Check under the advanced settings in the mobile network settings. If it's not there, then Verizon might be blocking it. Cricket does the same thing, but they'll sometimes enable it for you if you ask nicely.

I have checked under those settings and there is nothing listed as Wi-Fi calling. On VPN and Private DNA.
Would you be able to give a screen shot or write out what you click on to see where out phones differ? Baffling why my phone doesn't not have that option and Verizon has been no help in figuring it out.
I bought a g power phone for my son from Google fi, but activated it on Verizon. It works on verizon's network with a verizon sim. I havent been able to make wifi calling work, any suggestions? Looked in advanced setting under mobile connections no wifi calling choices. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I do not have this phone but i used unlocked phones (3 different ones) on Verizon. Currently a razer 2 on Verizon. If you do not buy a carrier locked phone from them you can not have wifi calling. That is one perk of buying the phone from them. They will let you have volte but thats about it. , No visual voicemail either.
I understand this might be a dumb question, but why is WiFi calling so important? I would have thought most people would use Hangouts, Zoom, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, or Duo. Any of those effectively provide WiFi calling.

WiFi calling is very handy if you use your phone in places where you might not have reliable cell coverage but do have WiFi (e.g., a basement, etc.). I've never tried it, but that might include an international location where you can't use cell but have access to WiFi.
My carrier is Sprint, and I can verify that the WiFi calling function is present under Settings, Network & Internet, Mobile Network, Advanced, and nestled under "Calling"

It was in a brand new phone yes, but no I don't think it matters. Should be good to go. If anything just restart the phone.
It's also my understanding that Verizon does not allow any Advanced Calling features on a carrier unlocked phone. With my last phone, however (Z4), I was able to flash the VZW image to enable those features on my unlocked phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ng-and-root-with-xt1980-3-on-verizon.3994025/
I just tried a similar process with the Moto G Power. I have a XT2041-4, which I have bootloader unlocked. I then downloaded the VZW rom from lolinet: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official/VZW/
and patched the boot.img using Magisk. I then followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/moto-g-power-flashing-guide.4159301/
to flash the VZW image (XT2041-7) onto my XT2041-4 (including the patched boot.img). Fingers crossed.... And bootloop. So I recovered to RETUS via LMSA. But I haven't given up hope yet. Maybe someone else can chime in.
