I live in Malaysia and I got the phone through an aunt who lives in U.S . She gave it to me 4 months ago because it was too sophisticated for her.
I manage to bypass the code request and signed in with m Google account and the phone is now accessible but when I try to insert a local SIM card( Maxis ) it doesnt recognize the sim and the phone locks back again. I lost my old phone and would be pleased if someone cant help me root it.
**I have tried to use Pete's One click root and installed the End-User Software from Motorola and the Root app doesnt recognize my phone when I connected it..
Does rooting make it unlocked and how to root if it does.
Hope someone can help me solve my problems..
Thank You

You must get a SIM unlock code from a 3rd party or Verizon. Check ebay or unlock4moto or similar service. There's a selection of Droid 3s that CANNOT be unlocked by 3rd party code, this was a problem with the Droid 2 Global as well. If a 3rd party code does not work, you MUST get an unlock code from Verizon. Rooting does NOT SIM unlock the phone.

And you will want to run the XT883 rom after you unlock and root your phone as well. If you explain to Big Red (VZW) what you are doing they will be more than happy to unlock it for you as it was for me. I was in AFG with both my D2G and D3 and had no issues unlocking them at all.

Not true, the stock radio and ROM will work in Non-US 'foreign' GSM networks. The XT883 Radio is required for AT&T/T-Mobile/Other US GSM networks. The XT883 ROM is not required for anything outside of any enhancements it may hold over the stock XT862 ROM.
For US GSM networks; it only requires the XT883 radio and modified build.prop to read the radio. For a foreign network (you mentioned Malaysia) just getting the SIM unlock code and unlocking the device should work. After unlock, input required APN settings for data/MMS and you should be good to go.

agree with you

Download any MTK Engineer Mode app from Play, under Bandmode select any band you want. However after reboot, you lose these bands so you have to manually turn them on again

The only band available via Engineer mode is 12, the remaining are disabled in the radio. This has been documented in several posts.

I'm not familiar with the MTK Engineer Mode app, but doesn't it just execute AT commands? If so, all we might need is the AT command to enable band 12 and add that to an autostart script (assuming the phone is rooted).
Do you have this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69158594
So I just got my sprint V40, Model Number LM-V405UA
android version : 9
Android Security Patch: March 1st 2020
And the software version is : V405U20d
Are these all up to date on my model?

2nd question
What exactly is the benefit of cross flashing the phone with US unlocked KDZ or ATT Unlocked or any other KDZ?
What do you gain from doing it?
is there anything else I can do with my phone to improve it?
1) Yes.
2) & 3) More bands available to you/better compatibility for when you decide to leave Sprint for another carrier (make sure the phone is SIM unlocked first!), plus the ability to connect to more towers if you travel to other countries. Less Sprint bloatware.
4) Unlock bootloader and root device. Take full control of the tech you own!

I dont actually have sprint, I have Tracfone as my carrier and use the AT&T sim card
which KDZ would be best to use? I looked at LG Firmware and saw US Cellular but there's also the US unlocked one too
The only information i've seen about rooting and unlocking the bootloader is to contact someone that has a octoplus box

If you crossflash use the US unlocked.
Look here for unlocking the bootloader.
Once you've done that, rooting is as simple as using TWRP to load Magisk.

Get the US unlocked KDZ. I also had the Sprint model. Crossflashing to the US unlocked allowed me to use wifi calling and the additional bands for T-mobile.

i want t buy one for 150 but its sprint . but i have metro . can i just cross flash and then go to tobile n connect it or it has to be sim unlocked also
Hello. I was iterested in getting a second-hand V40 which happens to be the US T-Mobile version. But i want to use it here in the UK. I've checked the specs and it seems to support all the band numbers which my carrier uses. But I have read that the T-Mobile V40s are somewhat restricted and it is not possible to root or crossflash. Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock for UK use? And if so, how?
Many thanks
What do you mean? Unlock is sum unlocking, root is root, cross flash is cross flash. Dont tell me you got the word unlock mixed up.
Rooting and crossflashing will not unlock the sim carrier for you to use as youll need to unlock before crossflashing. Also why not just go buy an unlocked variant as LG also has the US unlocked version. every manufacturer's unlocked version will always have more radio bands.
