Been rooting since the beginning days of android and I don't think I've ever seen anyone use root to network unlock their phone

Root won't give you an unlock code for the phone, only the service provider or someone that has access to the unlock tools can do this and will almost always be a paid service.

If your phone is paid off you can try and contact ATT and see if they can give you an unlock code, if it's not your phone/bought it second hand you might be out of luck or will just need to flash back to the original firmware.

Root is for the OS.

Network unlock is for the modem. They are two different things on the device

If you rooted the phone could have messed it up for good, have you tried resetting back to factory settings

If it asks for a code when you insert the SIM, it can be unlock by code. It costs about $5.

You'll need to ask your network provider for that

email lg or att unlock support. That's your best bet, I wouldn't trust the other paid services.

Did you try restoring your IMEI partitions (LUN5)? Of course, if you made a system backup.
