I'm still waiting on a 1+X . . . What year did ATT start rolling out 17 band & Tmobile 12? Reason I ask is that according to qualcomm the 1+X Qualcomm WTR1625L RF chip & have all the bands available until 2013 and under development at that time. (fyi: I'm in U.S.)
[Android Apps and Games] FrogReborn:
So amazing!

Thanks for your great job!
[Android Apps and Games] esternin:
Thanks for the suggestion, but...

3G bands were not touched, as they were all on. LTE bands were edited, and the edit stuck through reboots. I first tried a few relevant bands, the next time all bands, the changes persistsed through reboots, but no engagement of the networks ever took place.

I flashed other radios, and was told off by many that you can't do that and expect it to work... I am not sure it is true in principle, but those I tried did not work. If you have a radio known to work, and a kernel to match, I'd love to hear about it.

S is OFF.
[Android Apps and Games] nxb:
Again... whip out QXDM and read the logs. The phone will tell you what is happening. You have to actually enable LTE messages so you don't get slammed with everything else. Barring that, hidden menus on your phone should tell you if any bands are detected.

According to wiki, bell mobility uses LTE and GSM (HSPA).. so you need correct frequencies for both. I would try the radio from an operator who uses your same bands.

Your provider has a radio/rom too: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529225

S-off is supposed to let you cross flash.... after you're all set up flash the custom rom of your choice....

edit: I did read in s-off FAQ that GSM to CDMA and the reverse may not work... at least I think it won't brick, just give no signal... unlike crapsung products. you should still have more bands on carriers who support GSM+CDMA in USA/CAN... verizon may only be unlocked for Wcdma/Wgsm
[Android Apps and Games] tjsooley:
Fantastic app. One question.

Can you add the option of entering the nv number and showing what bands are enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] kaigara_online:
A few questions please:

1. How can i check if i can add certain LTE bands to a phone? Don't they have limitations?!

2. Can a 800 MHz USA LTE band be used on a 800 MHz european carrier?

3. Can i add european LTE bands to a USA LTE phone? (Sprint).

Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] ramping:
So, is it possible with this app, to enable bands 4 & 28 to a note 3 N9005?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ch3mn3y:
With this app You can only calculate NV.

There is other guide to use it to unlock band.

It will work only if Your phone has Qualcomm's SoC.

Dear Hero,

I have a Casio Commando Ca201L, and unfortunately its LTE band does not work regarding its specific frequency. Fortunately it has Qualcomm's SoC.

In referenced link mentioned that I have not found anything about

Google: USB settings <brand> xda

Google: how to use QPST <brand> xda

I would appreciate if you could tell me how I can reach or bypass this step.

Hi OP,

I got a lame question and would appreciate if you could help me out. I messed somewhat in my Xiaomi MI5 by tapping 4636 menu's Select Radio Band -> USA Band. Now I have lost my network signal and trying put the values via QXDM

I am from Bangladesh (Asia) where my operators are using below bands or attached screenshots or https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...e-32gb-2015105-libra-xiaomi-gemini/bangladesh

GSM	900 (E-GSM)

GSM	1800 (DCS)

UMTS	B1 (2100)

UMTS	B8 (900 GSM)

After researching the whole night I put some NV values for 00441, 00946, 02954 and 01877. Note that my country does not have LTE bands. Now my phone is quite usable but I am only getting 3G bands but in my area all the times don't have 3G sometimes phone needs to switch 2G-3G or vice versa.

Now my question to you is:

*. What are the bands I need to select for calculation?

*. What type of values needs to put in NV browser? e.g. Decimal/Hexadecimal/Byte-swapped ?

Waiting for your reply as my set is semi bricked !
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Sorry I'm not familiar with changing those NV values so I have no idea about the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] kamrul.auntu:
Wise answer indeed
[Android Apps and Games] atishj:
Can you share bands arrangement , position wise as per QualCOm, moving from right to left , 1st,2nd, 3rd........in GSM/WCDMA

I have present Value

NV-1877 Dec-111690119 Binary -110101010000100000110000111

NV0441=0x380

NV00946=0X0450

NV02954=0,

what value should i put to also get enable band WCDMA-900,1800,2100

or total band i need

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS900 (B8), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1), LTE2100 (B1), LTE2600 (B7), TD-LTE2300 (B40), LTE700 (B28), LTE850(85)

Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916

Sprint Moto E 2nd Gen LTE XT1526
[Android Apps and Games] emuzychenko:
Thank you, very useful app. But sometimes there is an opposite task: having a NV code, decode it to GSM/LTE band set. Could you please add this feature to the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Evgeny16:
In this calculator not all CDMA Chinese bands included. For Xiaomi Redmi 3 this program will get wrong codes. Only a part of true code.
[Android Apps and Games] arminass:
Thanks a lot, very nice calculator, helps me sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] nintendo1889:
Hmmm, could this actually turn off e911 location for all the privacy nuts?
[Android Apps and Games] GeTex:
Uhh, this calculator does not give the proper results. I'd suggest taking a look at your calculation method, I'm going to have to look elsewhere
[Android Apps and Games] ChazzMatt:
it did for me. It proved all the bands my phone had Moto XT1225, before Motorola publicly admitted all the bands.
[Android Apps and Games] GeTex:
Edit: I may have done my math wrong, I can't tell yet, but i know the values did NOT work from the calculator

Let's turn on every single band(that he listed) in the UMTS system

That's bands 7-8-9-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-48-50-60

bit 19 GSM850Mhz

bit 8 GSM900Mhz Extended

bit 9 GSM900Mhz Primary

bit 20 GSM900Mhz Railways

bit 7 GSM1800Mhz DCS

bit 21 GSM1900Mhz PCS

bit 27 WCDMA800Mhz Japan

bit 60 WCDMA800Mhz FOMA

bit 26 WCDMA850Mhz CLR

bit 25 WCDMA1700Mhz AWS A-F

bit 50 WCDMA1700Mhz FOMA

bit 24 WCDMA1800Mhz DCS

bit 23 WCDMA1900Mhz PCS A-F

bit 22 WCDMA2100MHZ IMT

bit 48 WCDMA2600Mhz IMT-E

So

NV:1877:1000000000101000000000000000000001111111110000000001110000000

NV:441:000001110000000

NV:946:1111111110000

NV:2956:100000000010100000000000000000

Above is with the leading 0s dropped

Now we calculate binary to base 10(decimal)

NV:1877:1154328879758312320

NV:441:896

NV:946:8176

NV:2956:537526272

Let's see what his app gave me

NV:1877:1154891829711730000

NV:441:896

NV:946:4088

NV:2956:268894208

Well NV:441 Came out right which means some bits were calculated correctly.

So if we just convert NV:1877 back to binary we can see what bands were turned on

NV:1877:1000000000111000000000000000000001111111101111111010101010000

Which is going to be the following bands

4-6-8-10-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-48-49-50-60

Which is bands

bit 04 CDMA Band Class 3, A-System Japan Cellular JTACS band 832 to 925 Mhz

bit 06 CDMA Band Class 5, all blocks NMT-450Mhz band

Bit 08 GSM Extended GSM (E-GSM) band includes RF band 9 GSM

bit 10 CDMA Band Class 6 IMT-2000 2Ghz band

bit 12 CDMA Band Class 8 1800Mhz band

bit 13 CDMA Band Class 9 900Mhz band

bit 14 CDMA Band Class 10 Secondary 800 MHz band

bit 15 CDMA Band Class 11 400Mhz European PAMR band

Bit 16 GSM 450 rural parts ( not in use )

Bit 17 GSM 480 ( not in use )

Bit 18 GSM 750 ( not in use )

Bit 20 RGSM 900 includes RF bands 8,9 GSM Railways

Bit 21 GSM PCS 1900 band US GSM-1900

Bit 22 WCDMA Band I -3G 2100 EUROPE Japan & Asia New-Zeland

Bit 23 WCDMA Band II - PCS 1900 North America

Bit 24 WCDMA Band III - 1800 DCS 3G 1800 EUROPE Asia

Bit 25 WCDMA Band IV - US 1700 (AWS) band US TMobile, Canada Wind 3G AWS

Bit 26 WCDMA Band V - 3G 850 North America, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines

Bit 27 WCDMA Band VI - 800 band 3G Japan

Bit 48 WCDMA Band VII - 2600 3G EUROPE

Bit 49 WCDMA Band VIII -3G 900 Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand

Bit 50 WDCMA Band IX -1700 Japan EMobile, FOMA 3G

Bit 60 WCDMA - Japan 800 FOMA + 3G

The calculator makes band 19 which is USA GSM 850Mhz disabled which explains why with the calculated value my phone had no GSM signal and ended up with only LTE Service.

[MENTION=2018502]vndnguyen[/MENTION], I never thanked you as I should have back in 2015 when you showed me that LTE band 5 was there on the Moto XT1225 all along. "International" version of the Droid Turbo and smaller version of the Moto Nexus 6. I thought I was going to have to forcefully enable LTE band 5 to use on AT&T here in the U.S., but for various reasons Motorola just didn't want to admit it already existed. Months later they republished specs showing LTE band 5 when they released the Moto XT1225 in India as the "Moto Turbo".

Thank you for your help and your very useful tool.

Looking for additional bands

Hi,

Thanks for making this cool app. I'm wanting to add bands which do not appear to be supported by the calculator.

I use T-Mobile, and want to enable all the T-Mobile bands for greater coverage

I cannot post a link to the T-Mobile site, so here are the bands:

2 @ 1900 MHz

4 / 66 @ 1700/2100 Mhz

5 @ 850 Mhz

12 @ 700 Mhz

71 @ 600 Mhz

Am I using the app wrong?

Pulled the radios from the FXZ [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] posted here: [FXZ] 4.4.4 23.3.24 Maxx/Ultra

Used the same instructions for flashing radios posted by [MENTION=3582521]Topsnake[/MENTION] here: [4.4.4][Radio]MSM8960PRO_BP_232.55.52.00r

and got my phone baseband version updated to the latest MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.127.76.00R (see screenshot below).

Steps taken:

1. Download the radios from here: MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.127.76.00R.zip (Updated Link)

2. Unzip to the same folder where you fasbtoot.exe resides

3. Reboot into bootloader

4. Open command windows where your fastboot.exe and run these:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot

5. Reboot
