Lte Bands G906S

Hi.

Am I'm right in saying that you can not edit the LTE Bands on the G906S as the first post suggests?

I've tried what seems like everything and I can change the NV values 06828 and 06829 and can make them stick but still no B20 as I require.

Is there a possibility that I'm running the wrong firmware to make it work or I need to flash mu modem with a g901f modem or something?

Any help much appreciated.

One thing I have noticed is that reading the NV values on my g900f is much quicker than on my g906s

I'm using this guide and others http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

What worked good for me is crimsonknight13's method. Try that one instead :) I rooted the stock 6.0 rom and made the Xposed work easily.

I'm not going to use them custom roms as of now since this latest stock one is pretty stable.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
I was referring to [MENTION=4631026]kardinal969[/MENTION]'s stock-based custom rom; I'm fine with everything else (i.e., TWRP, SuperSU, xposed, etc) on normal stock.

I don't seem to be able to activate root explorer in ES File Explorer app (operation failed) - I have been using it for many years on all rooted ROMs. I can browse system/root folders but can't change the files.

So for now I'm using FX File Manager but would really like to get ES to work.

Anyone can share a solution please?

Are we all on SU beta 2.74 or are there later/stable versions around?
[Galaxy S 5 General] CrimsonKnight13:
I only use FX, which is my personal preference. Always works with every ROM I use across multiple devices.

As far as SuperSU, it's quite stable even though its listed as beta.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ibzmav:
I'm using the same superSU version. At first I had the same issue as you on ES file explorer, until I updated it & reboot. It works fine now.

[Galaxy S 5 General] BahnStormer:
Does anybody have the codes for getting to the USB settings menu on the 906K (one of the earlier steps for changing 3G and 4G bands to get it into "RNDIS + DM + Modem mode")?

I'm trying to follow this guide on XDA:

I've tried all the above, plus I found this on a Korean website:

So I've tried both of those, plus the same again with *# and # either side of them....

and also the Secret Code Explorer as per step 1 in this guide: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/guide-enable-unlock-edit-add-gsm-lte-t2948822

still no luck getting into that USB Service Menu...

I may have partially answered my own question (via a few Google searches and a lot more reading): it appears that from Lolipop onwards, there is a problem with getting into Service Menu, unless you enable CP logging:

XDA

BUT I can't work out how to enable CP logging in TWRP. STILL NEED HELP WITH THIS (or a copy of stock recovery :eek::eek::eek:)

One big positive is that the Android-rSAP software works with this phone (on Mokee), so this allows me to enable rSAP, so at least I have 3G when I'm in my car :D

|Here on 906S with stock MM, *#0808# working.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BahnStormer:
thanks - as per my post, that was one of the various ones I tried, but didn't work - it looks like I now need the "enable CP logging" option in the recovery first, THEN I can give those codes a try - "*#0808#" is the top of the list when I work out how to enable CP logging.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
I beleive in thread you mention, they mean stock recovery with "enable CP logging" option.

Also, if your signature correct and you using AOSP-based ROM, this reason why secrect codes not working for you, IMHO, you should try stock.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
For anyone interesting in conserving battery, stock MM + ForceDoze has worked well on my g906s for the past 4-5 days. (I've ditched my go-to LP battery saving apps on Xposed, such as Greenify, Amplify, and PowerNap.) It may not be ideal for everyone's needs, but worth a try if you want your phone to enter doze right away.

[Galaxy S 5 General] BahnStormer:
Yep - that's the next plan - last night I was downloading the last 4.4x, 5.x and 6.01 releases from Samsung for my phone.

The last big Nandroid backup is done and I'll see if I can get it working on one of the TW ROM's - most of the guides are written for KK/LP, but I'm hoping avoid those in case I have to do this for a few days/weeks before I get around to fixing it completely....

Stock recovery is NOT a long term option, nor is TouchWiz TBH... but I'll use it for as long as it takes me to unlock the required 3G/LTE bands... the only time I'd voluntarily go for a factory ROM on Samsung hardware is if they bring back the Google Editions... but I'd still want TWRP and root access :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
I hear you. The latest MM stock took up all but 57MB of my system partition - 300 apps - at least half of them unwanted bloatware. (Debloater and TiBU helped whittle them down.) I hope the new google nexus 6 due in Q4 isn't crap, 'cause I'm done with Samsung's bloated TW-based roms on overpriced phones. The g906 might see one or two more MM updates before official support ends anyway.

Good luck getting your bands sorted.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BahnStormer:
Nexus devices are missing the SD card support, rSAP Bluetooth support and IR blaster that I really want on my phones.

S5 Prime may be the highest spec device to support all of those until we're on purely modular phones...
[Galaxy S 5 General] BahnStormer:
I'm on stock LP now - that *#0808# still isn't working.... I've tried the "enable CP logging" too.... to no avail.... all I get is "signal too weak, please try again".

Upgrading to MM tonight, I'll see how it goes after that.

I'd almost forgotten how skin-crawlingly awful, bloated and prescriptive TouchWiz was.... I just want to get these 3G+LTE bands changed and get back to my snappy, responsive Mokee ASAP, especially now that there's a "release" version!!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Are you using the stock recovery to enable CP logging?

If you're on a stock KT rom, you should be able to enter the factory settings on the dialpad (319712358 and 774632 without *#) to set your bands to automatic (or the correct band for your carrier) instead of the default preferred band, which is (LTE) B5 on SKT. It looks like you need band 7 or 20; 7 is supported by LGU+ firmware but not KT. 3G should work at 2100.

Mokee is still on LP bootloader. CallMESuper posted that he would update it to MM after his exams are over - another week or so.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
on my 906S, stock MM ROM, Dictaphone app crashes. Can somebody check this on your device ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BahnStormer:
Yes, it was a full KK factory image, then LP factory image.... then MM 6.0.1 OTA upgrade to stock 6.0.1 :)

You're a star, bud7dha! ("thanks" posted!)... I know I had those numbers already, but it was in a long list and I had only tried *#0808# and it was just spinning away with some message about "USSD settings"... then giving me the error about emergency calls / weak signal (depending on my SIM being in the phone / not), so I was still persisting with that.

319712358 into the dialer and then 774632 as the password has given me all the settings.

It's not just the Network settings I need - it's actually the USB settings to allow me to unlock Band 7: Vodafone in the UK uses Band 7 for the city centre high capacity networks (lots of active users, high data speed), but also the much higher penetration Band 20 (800Mhz) for the long range to ensure you still get 4G out in the countryside (and inside buidlings, etc)... so I really need both.

Now I can proceed with this guide: XDA Link
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
These settings don't allow you to add bands, just choose from those supported by the phone by default.

B7 is supported already, no need to go into the settings. I get reception on my G906K.

B20 ain't supported and the settings can't help either.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Yeah, it's a hardware limitation; AFAIK our radios can only accept B1-B8 on 4G. The g901f has the capability of using B20, but not the g906 unfortunately.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BahnStormer:
They're all Snapdragon 805 SOC's though aren't they? I would have thought that the hardware SHOULD be capable of it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56619419&postcount=613

He mentions flashing B20 enabled baseband from g900f, although I would suggest g901f instead - risking bricking your phone in the process. It would help if we had a custom kernel. All of the opening LTE bands threads and modifying NV values, etc. make my head spin. Apparently, qualcomm has coded in countermeasures to keep advanced users from accomplishing such feats easily.

In the post (on the same thread above): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56619210&postcount=612 botwa2000 mentions successfully modifying the NV values for B20 but the option to turn it on wasn't available in his service menu. Anyway, you're undertaking a task that most have failed at. Let us know if you find a way to make it work.

I'm not holding out a lot of hope, but yes, you'd absolutely HAVE to modify NV values.... the settings menu is just to switch the USB mode, which then means the Qualcomm software on your computer can access the radio devices on the phone.

Every time I try, it says it is successful, but when I reboot, the factory is still there...

I've now tried this on top on a base build of KK, LP and MM.... I've even tried a CF_Autoroot, which is what worked the first time I rooted it and put Mokee on the the phone.

what have I done wrong???

what are the exact steps to get OEM build + TWRP + root.

No, the file is clean; just grab it off of the dev's thread. I've seen it referenced elsewhere (on the internet) but I wouldn't download it from anywhere else.

Regarding the kernel, I'd recommend sticking to pure stock; CallMESuper set up that stock kernel version (for permissive) when MM was first released to work with his version of TWRP, which is no longer needed. They were released at the beginning (before Samsung released their MM code) so people could root their phones. Seandroid not enforcing is nothing to be concerned about unless you're paranoid about exploits.

At this point. you've clearly established that your problems aren't firmware related. At the very least your antennas need to be cleaned, which involves taking your phone apart, but there might be other hardware issues that will need to be checked and possibly fixed. I would recommend taking your phone in to be serviced unless you know how to tear down, fix, and reassemble it yourself - not a simple job.

The region code is SKC.

There's a tool called samfirm which will allow you to download the latest firmware: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

The latest firmware (6.0.1) is CPF2. You can try to flash it through Odin and see if it works. If Odin fails, then your device is locked and can't be updated normally. The previous owner has to unlock it with their Samsung account information - not possible unless you know the previous owner.

If you search the internet for "This device is locked due to an unusual system reset", you will see that your situation is not good. You may have to demand a refund from the seller and get another phone.
