thats right.
[LG V10 General] gbssengo:
In case anyone is wondering, I tried to enable the bands on my phone (I'm in Canada, so I need the AWS LTE BAND). Guess what? It worked!!!!! I now have full bar LTE connection at my home where I used to only get 3G. Just thought I'd share since there'd be people asking on whether band enabling works or not.

What didn't work is enabling 3G AWS band. I'm going to try again tonight and see if that can work.

Would any of you fine folks be a superstar and try to enable LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) and do a Field Test for all us LTE hungry Europeans? It's holding many of us back from purchasing this awesome phone!

Hi there.

I am trying to get into the downloadmode. Not possible. Just an IMEI screen appears. Any idea what is going wrong there? Thx

[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
1. Enable OEM unlock in Developer Settings

2. Shut down phone

3. Take battery out

4. Wait 60 seconds

5. Put battery back in

6. Press and hold VOLUME UP (no other buttons!) and plug the USB cable in

7. Wait a few seconds while holding VOLUME UP

8. Profit

Of course I cannot read what the original site says, but isnt it supposed to work on other V10 models :confused:

If so, how can I buy whatever needed for my H962 :confused:

Thanks for sharing :good:
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
I've been doing a bit of digging around for you guys, and as far as I can tell, the UMTS-FDD (3G) Band 4 (AWS: 1700 MHz/2100 MHz) should work fine if properly enabled.

There's also some likelihood that the LTE Band 17 will work, as well, albeit a lower one than that of the UMTS-FDD (3G) Band 4 (AWS: 1700 MHz/2100 MHz) working.

When you guys said that the bands didn't work, were you talking about real world deployment or the Field Test?

When you do the Field Test (277634#*#, Field Test, Modem Settings, Network Mode/LTE Band Selection), do you get a SUCCESS, FAIL, or no response? Please list each band you test this way along with its respective test result.

Try these troubleshooting steps:

Please, report back here as to whether you have been successful or not.

Thanks!

P. S.: I would really appreciate if you guys did me a big favor and performed a Field Test on the LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) before and after you attempt to enable it from the CDMAtool. You can obviously disable the band after you test it out (and preferably post a screenshot of the test results)! Thanks!

I was not able to turn on band 17 will try later today.
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Level of success!

Success can mean any of the following three things ordered in an ascending order of importance:

1. You successfully flashed the LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) from the CDMAtool.

2. You passed the device's Field Test and got a SUCCESS message.

3. You successfully connected to and

STAYED CONNECTED for a considerable amount of time

to an actual existing LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) network, being able to seamlessly surf the internet utilizing said band without any crashes, freeze-ups, reboots and/or other unusual bugs and/or weird behavior.

So regarding the LTE Band 20 (800 MHz), which level of success did you experience? :D

[LG V10 General] gbssengo:
It is ironic that I got LTE band 2 today. All along it has been LTE band 4. So you can confirm it's working. I had the LTE discovery app and had it previously. Not sure if I'll be monitoring it thoroughly though. If I get to it, I'll upload it. I just had band 2 enabled yesterday and since then it's been mostly band 2. Anyways, consider it fully working (Band 4 was the first band I enabled). If anyone else posts a screenshot, then great but I will when I can. But I can guarantee that it is unlocked and working in a real world deployment.

When you test it out, browse a couple of forums, stalk a couple of people on facebook, watch a couple of youtube videos (if your plan allows it, lol), etc., and then please report back here with your findings! :D

Do NOT underestimate the service you guys are doing for the community, because never forget that this band unlocking business is a

HUGE deal!

It basically opens up the market for hordes of people to start buying this model en masse (especially when the prices go down a bit after the introduction of the LG G5), and you know what that might mean, guys?! Oh yes – faster updates, better customer support, larger community, more custom roms and mods, greater chance of unlocking the bootloader (by either LG themselves or the [by this time larger] community – the more folks work on it, the faster it usually gets done!): You get the picture!

Good luck and keep the data comin'!

[LG V10 General] petalex99:
LP or MM

After rooting with *.tot (thanks to BlueEffect) you'll have the stock LP 5.1.1, SW V10C-HKG-XX, and the same stock kernel

and baseband like before + root.

Lollipop with all facilities of rooting (Xposed, RootExplorer, Titanium Backup, LTE, etc, etc is enough for me.

About me, Marsmallow doesn't bring great changes and probably will be unrootable or very dificcult rootable,

with a modified bootloader and kernel (risky).

So, I'm happy with my LG-H961N, LP 5.1.1 rooted. :)

So, it's your choice!

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Alright folks!

We have strong evidence suggesting that several crucial LTE bands (2, 4, and 20 so far) are working stably in a real world deployment!

Now, with the upcoming Marshmallow firmware update, and given the fact that this root is only applicable as a v10c custom rom, the next logical step in order to solidify the long-term feasibility of this device as it stands now is to check whether the unlocking of the LTE bands persists through the process of re-flashing back to stock (and by extension, full-flashing in general)!

So if any of you fine ladies and/or gentleman is ready and willing, please download the stock KDZ if you haven't already https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8wt8qEMXKHzNTVTS09hbW9GZmc and flash your LG V10 H961N back to stock to see if the bands that you had unlocked are still working or not!

If the bands are still working post-flash, we'll know that we'll most probably be able to get all the benefits of the upcoming OTA updates (including Marshmallow) and all the benefits of mobile banking (because most mobile banking apps don't work on a rooted phone) without losing any of our beloved bands that we have managed to unlock!

If the bands are not working post-flash anymore, at least we'll recognize the situation for what it is!

Remember that you can always reflash back to the rooted TOT after you're done figuring out the persistence of the band unlocking procedure!

Thank you all for your valuable contributions – keep them coming!
