How to Unlock LG K30 For Free lm-x410(fg) Unlock Code MetroPCS

I got my LG K30 MetroPCS from eBay.com. It was a new phone but the box was opened. So most probably it was opened for activation. I bought the phone mainly for this blog so I didn’t use it on MetroPCS.

After a few months, I just tried to unlock it using the pre-installed device unlock app present in K30. To my surprise, it got unlocked for free without purchasing any device unlock service or unlock code.

I would like to share the procedure along with the screenshots. Give it a try, it may work for you as well –

LG K30 Download Mode, Recovery Mode & Safe Mode – Detailed Guide

Safe Mode, Recovery Mode & Download Mode are the 3 modes of troubleshooting for LG K30 in ascending order.

Most of the time a soft reset (Reboot) does the job in case of minor issues such as lagging, freezing or overheating.

However, if the cause of the trouble is some downloaded app, then safe mode can help us to detect that malicious app without affecting the data stored in internal storage.

If the issue persists, then factory data reset comes to rescue. A factory data reset can be done within the settings.

However, if your K30 is locked out due to forgotten lock screen pin, password or pattern,  then we need to boot the phone into recovery mode & perform a factory data reset using hard keys. A factory data reset would wipe your internal storage.

The last resort, in case of a soft brick such as failed firmware update, is flashing a stock firmware via K30 Download mode. If this fails to restore the phone, the issue is related to hardware and can only be fixed by a service technician.

 

Let’s check out how to enter different modes of Troubleshooting on LG K30  how to get the most out of them when needed –
