I'm that guy that ignored every warning sign of a straight up scam. I bought a sprint LG G3 on the premis that cdmaflashsoftware.com could flash it to work on Bluegrass cellular. His only payment option was moneygram (I am aware that I'm a dumbass so spare me the insults). Well now I'm $350 dollars into this phone and still am not sure if it can even be done. Can someone shed some light on this subject.

Have you tried Lg flash tool to get back to Sprint? I would think if your efs is still good you should be able to flash sprint tot.
Don't know anything about your personal situation but if you can't tot back I'm afraid you're screwed.
Have you tried this?..http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...tore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042/post54912191

First of all thank you for your help. It is completely stock and is still under sprint. The only reason I'm pissed at this guy is because I bought the phone only because he said he could flash it. Nothing has been done to the phone at this point. He just took my payment and now ignores me. Again, don't know what I'm doing but can follow instructions well. Lol

Gotcha. I have no idea how you can flash to bluegrass. Hopefully someone can help
Look on Craig's list for someone that flashed phones to other carriers with a bad esn. Thats what I would do.

Ok, I got the msl code from sprint, took it to Bluegrass cellular and they told me sprint phones can't work on their towers. Does anybody know if this is true or can flashing make it work?

Just took a quick look at their web site. It looks like Bluegrass runs on a GSM network, unlike Sprint's CDMA. BUT, the Sprint G3 is a world phone, and has a GSM radio and SIM slot. If you can get Sprint to unlock it for you (and since you're not under contract they probably will), you could then insert a Bluegrass SIM card and see if it works. If not, it will still work on Sprint, and you can resell it.
Actually Bluegrass is cdma also. I did try putting some card in though, no service.

It will not worked because the sim slot is locked for Sprint only. The only way to get a Sprint phone sim unlocked is to call Sprint and ask them very nicely. They may or may not do it for you, I have heard the phone has to be activated on a Sprint account for 90 days first. The only thing you can do is call Sprint customer service and try to ask them nicely. Good luck.
Yes I've done that I think. They gave me the unlock code or msl code. When I go to change settings by dialing ##data#, it asks for a 6 digit code to edit. and when I put in the msl code, it allows me to make the changes.

The model # for Bluegrass is LG AS985. The open source is on lg's website. But again I know nothing. I'd donate to any cause if this is possible.
