Won't be able to test this for a while

Anyone actually tested using the phone on an "unlocked" frequency?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aeonxul:
Sorry if this is a really noob question or even unrelated. I own a Sony Z2 D6502 variant which doesn't support 4g or lte, i was wondering whether i could make my D6502 support 4g and thus become similar to D6503 which supports 4g or lte?

VS980 info

After spending a few days hacking around with the VS980 (LG G2 Verizon Model) I wish to share some findings.

1. NV edits to the bands will only work with baseband 11A or earlier. All later radios have the NV values hardcoded into the baseband and any changes will be reverted. You can successfully edit the NV values, and they will survive reboot on baseband 11A, but as soon as you install a later baseband they will revert to stock. CM11 works well with 11A. Perhaps binary modification to later basebands would be possible.

2. LTE Band 17 does not appear to be supported by the hardware. I copied all the values from a D801. Android now reports my phone as a GSM model instead of CDMA which is nice, but it just won't connect to LTE Band 17. If I delete band 4, I can't get LTE at all, so I know the settings are having an effect.
[Sony Cross-Device General] thepinkpanter:
I just bought the Z3 d6633 and i would like to add. the LTE band 12 with T-Mobile because till now I just get H+ in Miami area.

any suggestion?
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
Yes, its called follow the OP's instructions instead of asking for suggestions on what you should do when you already know what you want to do and have the tools at your disposal. If you can't do what the OP instructs, don't do this mod at all.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AlfredS:
Bro! First of all, thanks for this amazing post, im not tyring it at the moment because of 2 things, 1st, i dont have my pc running (dead power suply) and 2nd, my english is not that good, i may screw it in the process, so here's my question!

Do you know anyone (spanish speaker) who made this in his device? i need some help in spanish bro xD

By the way, im looking at your OP, the root is needed for this, but, when i update to another firmware (lollipop in this case), the mod to qualcomm gets lost? i bought a xperia z3 compact (D5833) that doesnt support my bands (Movistar México), and im having a lilttle trouble getting this device running my networks lte, i didnt made a good research when buying it :(

Hope you can help me getting this done!

XDA USERS WHO SPEAK SPANISH AND HAVE DONE THIS, AYUDA XD
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
Language barriers are understandable :thumbup:

My spanish is very very limited, otherwise i would help
[Sony Cross-Device General] Asenk Komputer:
Anyone try on xperia m c2005 and working?
[Sony Cross-Device General] weliyt:
I don't speak Spanish, but I might have some suggestions.

1) Does the mod work correctly before you update to another firmware?

2) When you update to another firmware, you're also updating the baseband/radio firmware. So you'll need to apply the mod again. If you don't want to, you can skip flashing the baseband when you update the firmware.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AlfredS:
a video would be helpfull too ;)

those questions were on my mind! If i update, the mod is gone, have you done it? i wanna learn how to do it properly and then make a tutorial in spanish, so everyone who speaks spanish and owns a qualcomm device can get its bands unlocked :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] weliyt:
Well, I've done it but I can't test it since none of my operators work on other bands. But in service mode those frequencies do show up

Earlier post from myself
[Sony Cross-Device General] springer.music:
I've just manually updated to stock 5.1.0 (LMY47E) and as I expected all the changes I previously applied through QXDM got reverted.

I simply reapplied the value 1099965471199 to line 6828 and 6829 using QXDM and rebooted. As expected the change sticks across reboots.

I'm still outside the US, therefore I can't verify whether any of the additional US bands are actually working on my international XT1100.

The interesting thing though is that on 5.1 the DATA menu is now accessible (it was disabled in 5.0 and 5.0.1).

To access the DATA menu, simply dial the following code in the phone dialler:

*#*#3282#*#*

Tap on LTE in the following screen and then tap on Bands.

Not all bands are shown in this screen, only 12, 25, 26, and 41.

These 4 bands are all displayed as On now, so it looks like at least some of the additional bands are now active.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
thanks very much for this guide.

i am using ZU, c6833.

I followed the steps in this thread except i didn't use qpst. instead, i used qxdm to unlock lte bands.

i wish to get band 38, 39, 40 and 41.

i read lots of posts for home work and finally get the dec nv value.

after reboot, and *#*#7378423#*#*, i can see band 38, 39, 40 and 41 there.

but still i can't get the lte tdd signals, only lte fdd signals.

could you please help me out?

thanks!

[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
Here is the updated status: i tried again with QPST, unlocked every thing except for wlan related items. and then i tried with QDXM to unlock tdd. after reboot, i can still see band 38 to 41 with 7378423. but i lost my reception. i am starting to doubt if ZU can unlock lte tdd. any one tried the same thing or any one can help me with it? thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
Can you grab up your stock modem and try this out instead?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Murshad007:
Didnt understands, Kindly tell in details?

Should I flashed D955 or D958 Modem?
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
Which modem is currently flashed? My advice was to make sure you have that version saved to your computer as a backup in case this mod goes wrong. Then, instead of asking a question to add to the 100+ pages, try it out on your device and report the findings.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
i gave it another shot. in step 32, i unlocked all WCDMA and GSM bands. and with QDXM, since i wish to unlock b38, b39, b40 and b41, i used binary: 11110000000000000000010000000000011011111, dec is 2061584826591. after reboot, i lost my reception again. i succeeded in getting my gsm reception back by *#*#4636#*#*, and selected the right radio band.

but for lte signals, i still can only get LTE FDD. no TDD signals.

by the way, i am using a 2g sim card right now. but i think i can decide whether i unlocked the TDD by tap on the network operators and see if there is any LTE signals provided by the TDD carrier. i am wondering if there's any other way to check this.

for *#*#7378423#*#* , yes, absolutely i can see there are b38, b39, b40 and b41 there. i just want to make sure my device (C6833) can indeed got TDD signals before i buy a TDD sim card.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sipe1:
I have successfully unlocked all WCDMA bands and inserted 2 LTE bands on Sony Xperia Z C6602.

First of all, you have to install driver for MI_05 not MI_04. It doesn't work on MI_04.

After that I followed guide and inserted new values.

For LTE, I followed this

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

In third post you have NV numbers which you have to edit to insert LTE bands.

I don't have any way to test WCDMA or LTE bands right now, but if I do will edit this post :)

This is my new configuration. Cheers!

How is anyone supposed to know? You have to test it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
--------deleted--------
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
how to test it by the way?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Product F(RED):
I'm confused. I don't know where you're located, but I'm assuming that where you are uses TDD-LTE, right? So can't you just test it by trying to enable the bands and seeing if they work? If they don't work, then it won't work. Simple as that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
I am in China. there are 3 operators here: CMCC, UNICOM and TELECOM(46011). i wish to use tdd-lte, so i unlocked b38~b41.

My question is: i can see these bands with *#*#7378423#*#*, but i can only get fdd lte signals from UNICOM and TELECOM, which is originally meant to support. seems no tdd-lte signals from CMCC. i wish to know if C6833 can't support tdd-lte mode even by this unlocking method described here, or if i made some mistake.

i am not clear about "test it by trying to enable the bands and seeing if they work". would you please be more specific? how to see if they work? am i right on the judgement of "can't receive tdd-lte signals"?
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
So if you activate the bands and it doesn't work, we call it a hardware limitation and call it a day. Why are we going on and on about what your device can't do.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Product F(RED):
Try to turn them on, and then try to use the phone on CMCC. If you do not receive TDD-LTE after trying to enable the bands, then it's most likely not physically possible (the phone doesn't have the correct antennas). Simple. You cannot test it without being on the network.

thanks guys, i think the best choice for me is to buy a new phone:)

[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
wow, long time to see you here, guess you are very busy.

that will be better i think. but where is the sony thread?

looks like few people have questions for z1 or zu, so i always wonder whether i did it right or not. is there hardware restrick for z1/zu to use band38~41?
[Sony Cross-Device General] BlackSoulxxx:
Look like you need l39t variant, but i only have 6902/l39h and 6903, no l39t. But you can try to flash l39t baseband on 6903 or 6943. Look like sony use different antenna and amplifier ....

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 AM ----------

Also l39t is using different chip because it's support td-scdma, 8974 and 8274 cant natively support that
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
Thank you! i will try that!
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
i did my home work again. yes, l39t or l39u used different antenna and amplifier, so they have different size compared with l39h. i guess that's it. not possible to use tdd with l39h or xl39h.

god i hate to change a device, because i love my zu. it is the first device i used for 2+ years and still love it. if only it could support tdd, then what a perfect world it should be!

How can I use this guide on a Samsung S5 Prime SM-G906L LTE-A?

You speak about HTC drivers and ports...
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
Better question. How do you go do the research to find out how to get a Samsung device's drivers installed on your computer and get into diag mode on your device? It isn't done by posting what you just posted. I took the OP's steps and adapted it for Moto devices, so there is no reason you can't do the same for a Samsung device. You do it by going and grabbing up drivers for Samsung, which can be done using Kies. Diag mode i cannot help on since the Tab Pro i have is the wifi model and doesn't have the whole cellular modem modules in it.

Guys,

Please give me some clue. I cannot made a change on NV item even using NV manager, QXDM or service programming. I have input value, write but after restart no any changing made.

Use service programming, after do some change and write to phone got error "NV_readonly".

Anyone have experience to solved this problem?

Device HTC One M8 AT&T.
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
Let me rephrase that. Blacksouls, the individual behind the method posted in this thread, stated one page ago (page 104) what i just summarized in my last post
[Sony Cross-Device General] leo5111:
Oh, OK thanks :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] palmbeach05:
Np. And he is right. I mean every other post or so recently seems to be the same question about a different device. This thread has been open for a good min, so its not like its a super new mod. The process is there and if you have everything dl'd and installed, its literally like a 3-5 min mod depending on the device (including booting/getting into diag mode and rebooting after applying the nv changes)
[Sony Cross-Device General] PIRATA!:
I understand this and what you say about, but I think that most people would have meant to ask "do someone know if this mod have worked on the device XXX as I have one in my hands??"

Most people like to ask this but maybe just don't write it good. :)

In case like this I agree with replied like "try it if you have a device in your hands with which you'd like to apply this mod: what is better to try it on??"

But another this that people don't say is "I would like to go forward only if it works as is seams a bit difficult/risky."

And in this case it's ok in telling them "too risky? ok, don't do it, maybe better to chance phone." :)

In my case I have a different situation as I'm not afraid at all, but don't have the device in my hands! I'd like to buy a Samsung S5 Prime G906L only if is usable in my country.

In Italy I have all the bands that are usable in that device, but my provider Three "3" has activated the 3G 900 Mhz band to be used with the actual 2100Mhz for a stronger signal, and the 900Mhz band is not active on the 906,L phone I'd like to get.

The phone would work anyway, but that 900Mhz band is quite useful for indoor usage, so I'd like to activate it, and wondering if someone could help me understand if it could be possible. :)

Please help and forgive me for asking a "will it work?" question, but I don't have any other clue on understanding this.

Cheers.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
i agree with that.

and i thinks not everyone is so smart that have no questions at all. some people have their own situations and may not be able to afford risks if they brick their device, ex: wife screaming or girl friend break up etc. they might be very cautious and wish to make more things clear before they start with it. in this case, i think it would be better to give them a hand if we have an answer.

in other situation, some people do not read the post at all and just ask questions that they can easily find answers by googling it. i think these people ought to do their own homework first.

i just unlocked more bands on my ZU, and i also asked silly questions here. luckily i got my answers. i dont have a sammy device for long and i wish you luck:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] PIRATA!:
Thank you so much.

I'd love to make my tests and give my support here.

But I still have to buy this S5 906L phone, and as it is expensive, I'd like to know if I'd be able to do such mod, or at least if it's possible with these phones.

People say it's not for the LTE bands, but I need a 3G band, the 900Mhz one as my provider in Italy (Three "3" ) is widely starting to use that for increasing indoor connection.

Any advices are welcome.

Cheers.

Haven't had luck manipulating 6828 so far. The settings stick and the radio seems to behave differently, but I haven't been able to pick up Band 4 LTE with any of my SIM cards for Verizon or Tmo.

What else do I need to do? Is there a hardware limitation?

The Verizon S3 came out way before Verizon even had plans to do LTE Band 4, so I highly doubt the hardware is in there.

It really depends on how similar the MetroPCS (B2, B4, B5, B12), Sprint (B25), and Verizon S3 (B13) system boards are. They are much closer to each other than they are to the Tmo or AT&T variants.

CDMA bands are enabled with WLAN in NV441 NV946 and NV2954

LTE: maybe you can't add more frequencies so in first come back to original values (NV6828 and NV6829) and boot your phone with a 4g sim card , control again if NV6828 and NV6829 are with the new values

First of all, I want to thank [MENTION=4300205]olokos[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5733862]BlackSoulxxx[/MENTION] for sharing their guides. And with that, I've managed to activate most of the available bands on my Z3 (GSM/WCDMA/LTE) from the default D6603, D6633, D6653 and SOL26 bands posted on their specs. I had to read/study the guide 5x before actually going through with it and it actually paid off in the end.

By the way, I'm on D6653 4.4.4 Build 23.0.1.A.5.77. Attached is a before and after screenshot for reference.

Just a quick question though -> Are the changes permanent? If I flash a new firmware or baseband, will it revert back to its original bands?
