Since it seem identical to Z2, you may have a look at this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55394190&postcount=142

Try it and report if it works. If not well just put the old number in and write NV again or reflash baseband, I will have to analyze your value (it's tough, you know!)

Nexus 5 success

I 've made successful connection to my D821 Nexus 5. It requires LGE driver and a special kernel to run diag mode. (I think it could be booted from fastboot without flashing) I have drivers and kernels(both for CAF and AOSP ROMs, one for CAF is actually the Chaos kernel by neobuddy89, also I've modified ramdisks for CAF kernels to make successful boot on F2FS-data only or F2FS-all), will post later here, if it's appropriate place to do it. Or maybe I'll write a little guide on Nexus 5 forums, if olokos and BlackSoulxxx would not mind ;)

[MENTION=5733862]BlackSoulxxx[/MENTION] great work! Any news on LTE unlocking?

A little guide to hammerhead (Nexus 5) users

To modify anything with Qualcomm QPST or QXDM Tools you need to switch your USB connection to Diag mode. It is done in next steps:

1)You'll need kernel with diag mode supported matching your ROM(CAF or AOSP). Select it from attached archive. Then place it in a folder with fastboot binary and boot it via fastboot. (I've never tested, if it works by just booting it, without flashing, but it should)

fastboot boot boot.img

If something is wrong, just flash it via fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

2)Now, when you're booted into your ROM, you'll need to enable adb debugging in developers settings and to swich your usb connection type via adb.

adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

Now your device would be reconnected and additional devices would be listed in device manager. To install drivers just use driver installer in attached archive.

3)Now you have your new COM port in device manager. Use it, according to original instruction.

CAF Kernel included is Chaos kernel by neobuddy89, let's thank him. ;) I don't know anything about AOSP one, though...

Here is an archive with drivers and kernels.

[Sony Cross-Device General] AndroPlus:
No, unlocked LTE bands 19/21 won't work.

Some people unlocked 19/21 before but they reported it couldn't connect.

Nexus 5 could connect to LTE b19 after adding RFNV 65537 or later from LG G2,

so I think we can get working B19/21 if we can get RFNV from SO-03F (and if D6503's hardware support them).

I don't know...

I could backup NV items with NV-items_reader_writer,

but I'm too timid to write back:p
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
Yup, it did. :)

You don't have to, but I guess that choosing the option with the most options will make the phone use them (or at least search for them until reception is found)

What makes me wonder now is does 6943 actually have a hardware tv tuner or just the frequencies were locked? "Unlocking" tv option would be even better :laugh:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ahki767:
You could try but I would think that tv tuner is hardware related. Well, unless the c6903 does have it but its locked and hidden away.
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
I'm really interested in this. As it seems, based on the C6943 whitepaper it's using the same bands, yet there's a tv functionality. This won't be easy :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] BlackSoulxxx:
I think TV Tuner is hardware related, because my ZR (SO-04E) have special antenna. In Z1 I think Sony just use built-in antenna. But maybe I'm wrong :p. Anybody send me dump of kernel and baseband (About the kernel I think they are different about 1 line of code, forgot that line :\ )

And if anybody have dead 6943, open it. And find something unusual about hardware.

And about LTE band, I just dump the whole NV of my ZR and find somethings special. Stay tune.......

[Sony Cross-Device General] asafba:
Did you try to reboot your phone and check if the new configuration remained?

For me it was an easy task to enter to diag mode (with stock rom, rooted), but after reboot the nv_data returned to its original stat without any modification.
[Sony Cross-Device General] evg_t:
QPST I do not need to unlock lte?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Unb0rn:
Never tried to modify anything-waiting for LTE Bands unlock codes. :fingers-crossed:

The only problem for me was lack of CAF kernel with MSM Diag driver built-in.
[Sony Cross-Device General] asafba:
Oh I got you.

Its seems to work without a 3rd party kernel when you are on stock, but after I changed the decimal numbers (I just checked every band in WCDMA and GSM) it returned to its original numbers after reboot.

I hope its behave different with CAF kernel based on CM.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Unb0rn:
Not really... You're right. It's being reset after reboot, just checked it.

Maybe it's a good idea to write it with QXDM instead? Don't think it would change anything, though...
[Sony Cross-Device General] DubelBoom:
I've already tried writing with QXDM a few days ago, also wasn't saved after reboot.

[MENTION=5733862]BlackSoulxxx[/MENTION] - so I just redid the read and it's still showing the value of 2307813334319039360, which is all GSM and WCDMA enabled. However, I am still not seeing LTE even though I am in the LTE area.

Rebooted the phone and the read is 562950035735424, which is

Hi,

I wanted to report some success with my Xperia z1 compact. After writing the NV, I started having very irregular connection, which I only solved by accessing the *#*#4636#*#* menu and choosing the euro band. Now I don't know if I'll risk unlocking LTE bands... :)

Nothing happened in the configuration was written in the band and codecs "No" and the tablet went into boot loop after a while.

I flash the stock ftf and everything was fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bsined:
I've semi-bricked my Sony Xperia TL (and successfully recovered it) twice already with no luck of changing band configuration.

The first time the phone would simply reboot every time it switched from LTE to WCDMA (aka incoming or outgoing call). That was after I tried to write the values using QPST.

The second time I tried to write the values using QXDM and I lost all GSM and WCDMA bands (aka the phone couldn't send or receive calls either).

Both times I recovered the device by flashing the native baseband from the most recent FTF using Flashtool. So you can try that too, if you fail.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bloodhawk:
Ok for some reason this

setprop persist.usb.eng 1

was not working with my M8, i tried it with the stock rooted ROM and ARHD 11.1 .

On:
su
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on

Off:
su
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on

Also, the *#*#SERVICE#*#* does nothing for me.

Any other way to check the available bands?

My device is an US unlocked BS_US001 device.

And even after changing the writing the settings, the changed decimal value isnt written.

LG G3 D855 - Not Rooted

I successfully changed the decimal value on line 1877 and verified the change stuck by disconnecting the phone, rebooting it, and reading the NV again and the decimal value remained changed.

[MENTION=5733862]BlackSoulxxx[/MENTION], you post pictures of a diag screen that shows what bands are enabled in your Sony phone. Do you know how to do that with LG G3? I know the NV change was successful but i want to verify elsewhere in the phone.

I was able to connect with QPST and make the changes using the stock USB drivers from the LG website.

These values doesn't exist as well on my nv

NV 946 0xBFFF :Expand Band Preference 16 to 32 Bits

NV 2954 0xFFFFFFFF :Bits 32 to 63 of Band Pref

Somehow the nv edits doesn't change for me on reboot ....it sticks all the time so I think that's good as long as they aren't changing.

I think I'm getting closer and closer but yet too far lol hope I get it working.

I have Verizon and the s5 active is at&t exclusive and I would really like to use the s5 active on Verizon if its possible
[Sony Cross-Device General] gk1984:
There are way too many phones for anyone to keep track of support. You can compare hardware and see if it's the same chip or not. Or try it for yourself. Either way, verizon is CDMA and CDMA usually only activates devices that are approved from a database. I think it's checked against the imei number. Not sure they'll activate it just because you enabled the bands.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Product F(RED):
As an ex Verizon and Sprint employee, I can tell you that Verizon and Sprint will NOT activate any device that is not branded and sold by them. So don't even bother trying to activate any of their bands with the intention of using the device on their networks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] BlackSoulxxx:
Really? I planning to study abroad in the USA for the next month and I want to use my phone in there.......
[Sony Cross-Device General] gk1984:
Best bet is to look for virtual mobile networks that let you bring your own device. Most use Sprint's network. Companies like Ting or FreedomPop do this, but still won't activate any device. Just better chance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dscblu:
Thanks for the answer, that really sucks that Verizon has to authorize devices on their network.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Product F(RED):
Use AT&T or T-Mobile. AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz HSPA and 700 MHz and 1700 MHz (Bands 17 and 4) for LTE. It's GSM and offers the best coverage. It's also expensive. T-Mobile is much more reasonable, and is perfectly usable if you're going to be in a city (but not so much in rural areas). T-Mobile uses 1700MHz (Band 4) / 1900 MHz for HSPA+ and 1700 MHz for LTE (Band 4).

Verizon and Sprint are CDMA/LTE carriers, but like I said they will not activate non-branded devices. Besides, Verizon is ridiculously expensive and Sprint's network is ridiculously slow.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Anon87:

[Sony Cross-Device General] Product F(RED):
No. It's a hardware limitation. The Nexus 4 is based off the Optimus G, which supports LTE. The reason it supports LTE (and it's only Band 4, btw, which is used in the US and Canada) is because of leftover hardware. LG decided it was cheaper to keep it than remove it. So while you can enable Band 4, it's not possible to enable any other bands. Hardware teardowns have shown that it's a hardware limitation.
