Why you need to unlock lg v10
smartphone.
You
have bought at&t t-mobile lg v10 with sim locked. You have two working sim
card and you want to use those sim to lg v10 dual sim or you want to use
another sim to lg v10 android. When you enter new sim to lg v10. On lg
screen you get message that network locked sim card inserted, wrong sim card,
invalid sim card unlock your phone, phone restricted enter phone restriction
code, contact service provider to unlock lg v10. Now to use all gsm sim on lg v10, you need to unlock lg v10 phone with sim network unlock code.
Before
continuing to two different methods for lg v10 unlock. I give you some tricks to recover network unlock code/ sim
unlock code from your lg v10 mobile. When your mobile locked it’s unlock
code must be within its android os file system. Download any file
explorer of lg v10, lg bridge also a good file explorer. I am not sure it
can go deep into file system.
First go to lg v10 setting and enable root
explorer and enable mount file system and also allow su superuser. Search
inside root folder there is an EFS folder, under EFS folder find NVDATA file. NVDATA is a non volatile memory which contain all information about gsm sim
network. It may possible that you can find network locking code inside NVdata
file. Remove that code and unlock lg v10. Search inside root/carrier
folder, root/system, system/bin folder for carrierlock file or networklock file
or simlock file. If you find any such file that has hidden unlock code in
hexadecimal. Open those files with hexa editor and calculate your unlock
code. It is not necessary that such file always exist inside your lg v10 this
is just one trick.
