Need an unlock for a G2X that is not T-MO branded, model LG-L95G

exonix · Oct 15, 2011

Hey Guy's

I found an LG branded (not T-mo) G2X

The model name under android shows it as an LG-L95G.
The phone looks exactly like a G2X on the outside but has no T-mo logo.

Anywho I popped a ATT and TMO SIM into and both asked me for an unlock code.

Could someone possibly point me in the right direction for getting this?

Edit - Similarly the code to get into the Network Unlock screen is 2945#*95#

Here's what the phone looks like

That's weird, it has the front of an Optimus 2x, and the back of a T-Mobile G2x. But the model number is different. Where did you find this device?

Got it from a buddy who works for a cell phone company called Straight Talk.

Anywho, he said its a G2X, what makes you think the front looks like an Optimus 2x? it looks like a G2X all around to me

exonix · Oct 16, 2011

as you can see it came from the factory with 2.3.4

O2x

G2x

Only stuff I can find about an L95G:

Could it be a test model? That's also a much more up to date baseband than the current G2x, AFAIK, although all of the version numbers are identical on the baseband except for the date.

Straight Talk is a portion of TracFone and runs on all four major networks in the US, depending on which phone you're using. As far as I can tell, they don't carry a phone resembling the p999 or p990 at all.

It's also running Android 2.3.4... Maybe there actually is an OTA. Could you please make a NANDROID of this device?!?

Does it have the LG Cam?

JaiaV · Oct 16, 2011

Could we also get the model number printed on the phone under the battery cover? Also, an FCC ID would be nice. Make sure to cover up the IMEI and S/N if you take a picture.

exonix · Oct 16, 2011

sure, ill take some pics in a sec

A nandroid is a full backup of the device's fileaystem. It would help because then the system files, kernel, etc could be compared to the current 2.3.3 update to see what exactly has been updated. You would need to flash clockworkmod recovery (fully reversible). The backup would be saved to your sdcard where you could then upload it to a file sharing site for others to download. If you decide to make a backup to share, make sure to do a factory reset first because otherwise it will back up all of your settings (email accounts, Facebook accounts, text messages, etc). A factory reset will erase all that before you make the backup.

I honestly havnt even had a chance to use the damn thing, I need an unlock code asap. Aside from that, it seems that this version of GB has been gutted for TracFone, there is no bloatware at all, has all the features ive seen on all other GB phones, what im curious to see is if this phone supports ATT's 3G bands however I wont know until I get it working.

The FCC ID matches the P999 (BEJP999DW)

Yes, it does, but that label most definitely states TracFone. It certainly looks like someone has stumbled upon an unreleased device. With identical baseband numbers aside from the release date we may have an 'official' 2.3.4 rom that could be ported to the G2x. Also, that's the stock Android camera, not the Froyo LG camera.

Longevite · Oct 16, 2011

interesting OTA 2.3.4 update in future.

tahahawa · Oct 16, 2011

My phone from wind looks the exact same. Except the model number is p999 and it comes with froyo with no update available. Also the baseband is June 05.

I have an unlock provider that has access to the LG database. I can try to get a code for you. The cost is $5.00. The codes are obtained via the IMEI and knowing the carrier is not required. If your phone is a preproduction version the code might not be in the database, but you can try. If a code is retrieved but it doesn't work there is no refund; but if the result comes back code not found you get a full refund.

When you put in a sim does it say "Network locked" in the notification bar and does it display a popup box to enter the network unlock code (NCK)?

And yes please install Clockworkmod Recovery and backup the phone and post the backup to a file sharing service.
