Skip Read/Write QCN during the Unlock/Reset Security Greyed Out [Answered]
 

Hi,

On a lot of newer LG phones this option is grayed out. Can you enable it please? We are doing a lot of phones and now it forces backup and takes 20 minutes to do any process (if newer firmware we need to wait 20 minutes and then fail. Try again wait 20 minutes write IMEI, Wait 20 minutes to unlock and IMEI 0, wait 20 minutes to write IMEI again, etc...). Don't need backup, can always write from working device. Please help. Thank you! :D

Hi.

OK, please write for which model exactly You need this option and we will prepare test Software version for You.

I see this on all models V20 and newer (H910, H918, LS997,VS995, H871, H872, H873, US993)

I just want to have the option to skip this security backup because it takes far too long. Thanks!

We have added that option into Software, please, download and install the latest test Software version from the Support Area.

That is so much better. Repair IMEI + Unlock would take 45 minutes before. Now is 3-4 minutes. Thank you.

Wait. This solution you don't pick up signal after unlock. It keeps searching. I tested with 4 units. Better test more. Thanks

How to write security backup from other device now? These 4 devices after unlock keep searching/no service/searching/no service. If I remove SIM card picks up strong signal but 0db with SIM card.
