LG-LS980 Could not Detect problem

[lacomputer]

Hello,
Read a lot here and got some progress but still can't unlock the phone.
It is a Sprint device.
I enabled debugging and have all drivers installed and the newest 2.0.3 LG Software. The ADB is recognized and operational but phone is still not detected.
I tried in Download mode and get some information but can't unlock the phone. It tells me this:
Checking data...OK

Selected port: COM5
Selected model: LS980

Model ID: LG-LS980
IMEI: 990002-52-229069-9

Unlocking...
Initializing ADB...OK
Waiting for phone...
Please, reconnect phone, enable USB debugging, and try again.
To enable USB debugging, please perform the following steps:
1. Disconnect cable
2. Install LG Android ADB drivers
3. Go to "Settings" -> "About phone" -> "Software information"
4. Click on Build number 5 times
5. Enable "Settings" -> "Developer options" -> "USB debugging" option
6. Connect the cable and check, whether ADB interface has appeared in PC Device Manager.


I have done all these steps and USB Debugging is enabled.
I also tried to connect as LG-LS660 and receive the following:
Platform: LG Qualcomm
Selected port: COM4
Selected model: LS660
Reading info...
Initializing ADB...OK
Waiting for phone...OK
Model ID: LG-LS980
Firmware version: LGLS980AT-00-ZVG-SPR-US-MAR-31-2015+04

Android version: 5.0.2
Hardware: Qualcomm MSM8974 ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l)
Please, type ##3424# to get SPC / MSL / Service Code...Failed!

I checked and the ##3424# is Diag enabled.

Please help, running out of options here and I am positive it should be something simple.
Should I try and upload a new Firmware file that I have downloaded ?
I am trying to make this phone work on T-Mobile 4G LTE Network.

Will appreciate any help!

After multiple hours of installing different drivers and virtual machines with 32bit OS etc. finally read in one of the forum posts to enable the phone in simple charging mode instead of MTP or PTP after connecting it in Debugging mode.
Can't believe how long that took me to solve
Now back on to the mission to unlock it for T-Mobile!
Will report how that goes.

I found a thread with automated tool on XDA that I followed and it unlocked the Sprint LS980 to T-Mobile but the frequency that it runs is different than the original LTE and it runs at 2MBps on average which is very slow.
Not meant to be used on T-Mo LTE Network. I tested it after unlocking with the Octoplus box and it is easy unlock process to enable any non US SIM card to work. Hope that helps.
