Other discoveries:

Once you initially set it to LTE, sometimes it randomly goes back to HSPA+. But I've had LTE last good amounts of time (1-2 hours)

If you make a phone call it switches to HSPA+ but won't revert back to LTE.

If you open up the "Radio Switcher" or "Network" app (they are the same) it sometimes will just go back to LTE immediately, other times you simply need to run the Ping test.

I think it keeps reverting back to HSPA+ after a while because it eventually connects to Band 25. Not sure if I can access the Service Menu (*#0011#) on Cyanogenmod, maybe to set priority? Might actually be because of too many different LTE bands enabled.

I'll try adding only AT&T's bands to see how things work.

So far, tried bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 17 - can't get LTE. Band 2 only, can't get LTE. Only getting HSPA+ on GSM auto (prl) and HSPA on LTE/GSM auto (prl). Tried both decimal and hex values in QXDM. For example, I've entered in 2 (decimal) and (0x2) and (0x02)

Wanted to point out here, phone booted up with service immediately.

Tried all bands except for 25, no LTE, a little more laggy, but not as bad as when band 25 is enabled.

Tried band 2 and 25, Got LTE, takes a lot of time when turning on phone for service to appear and when changing radios.

So, for some reason band 25 is needed in order to get LTE on other bands.

With bands 2 and 25 only enabled for LTE, I rarely drop to HSPA+.

It has only happened twice in the past 6 hours. (The LTE Discovery App has an option to cycle the network when LTE disconnects, which seems to only refresh HSPA+ once it goes back)

---------------------------------------

So I went back to stock firmware on the Touchwiz 5.0.

"Network" and "Radio Switcher" apps don't work, but "Advanced Signal Status" does.

Same steps work here as above in "getting" LTE, also there are more options to choose from.

LTE/WCDMA seems to work too.

Problem is I am getting this error:

"LTE: ESM - 33 EMM - x"

and can't connect to the internet, only band 25 seems to be connecting, unlike band 2 last time (maybe this is because I was on klte CM ROM).

I also should note that it now says "GPRS service: Disconnected"

In ServiceMode (*#0011#) I haven't had any luck, in the cases where I can do anything with the LTE bands it is only for 25, 26, and 41. Other cases show more bands, but it says something like "not

supported" to edit anything.

I also tried messing around with the ##3282# LTE settings, only shows 25, 26, 41 bands and I can't change the priorities.
[Galaxy S 5 General] xxhorseriderxxx:
This is because Straight talk doesn't support Voice over 4G, so your data connection has to fall back to 3.5G in order for a call to be placed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aventurer:
Some more observations, I used this app called connection stabilizer which constantly pings for network connectivity. I think this might help keep the LTE up longer, when driving I will eventually lose LTE and get a ping failed. I'm not really that sure if this helps or not, but it's a total pain because you need to keep data on. One more thing to note is on the "mobile network settings" page I never see "GSM/WCDMA/LTE" option

I believe the only way for a permanent solution is to be able to flash another modem on the phone (such as SM-G900A or SM-G900T). Problem is Odin will never let me, I've tried everything to get another modem flashed with no luck, if anyone has any ideas or solutions please let me know I'd love to get this phone working consistently with LTE, although it seems that I may as well just return it and get the SM-G900T as it supports many bands (including the AT&T bands) Only thing is there is no FM Radio on the T-Mobile version, but I was planning on using Cyanogenmod anyways and NextRadio doesn't seem to work with the SM-G900P with Cyanogemod. Maybe there's a build.prop edit to allow it? Or maybe it's a kernel issue.
[Galaxy S 5 General] vintagepc:
Did you make any further progress with LTE on touchwiz? Been tinkering and trying to get T-Mobile LTE (band 2 & 700Mhz) working on my own G900P.

Something interesting I found is that if I have it set to LTE/GSM (autoPRL) sometimes it will remove (hide) any T-mobile APNs and force you to use "sprint wholesales" and "global roaming SPCS". (switching back to GSM/WCDMA restores the T-mobile APNs. I wonder if that can be overriden by finding where those defaults are in the system files and editing them to be T-mobile...
[Galaxy S 5 General] Megado:
Since the G900P is a CDMA phone, I've assumed that to get LTE on a GSM network I'd have to edit NV values in QPST/QXDM/EFS Professional to enable some bands. I've done that before on a G900V with KitKat on it and it gets GSM LTE fine.

The past few days I've looked for a solution and yesterday I was finally able to seemingly enable diagnostic mode and get into my G900P that has Marshmallow 6.0.1 on it. It was a headache just getting in to read the values. QXDM read the NV values but they only went as high as 6754; in the past the LTE bands needed enabling on 6828 and 6829. I don't know if the NV system has changed in Marshmallow or if my versions of QPST/QXDM/EFS Professional are outdated and won't read everything in 6.0.1 or some other problem. I wasn't able to make any band changes. Maybe somebody with more experience will have better luck.
[Galaxy S 5 General] vintagepc:
In my case... I've managed to get it to look like the bands in question are enabled via QPST/QXDM (confirmed with readback through DFS/EFS pro)... but the LTE radio still doesn't activate (band ID in the debug screen is -119, LTE radio is "idle")

the write "block" you're experiencing is something Qualcomm/Samsung put in the android code as a binary blob (no source for people to find and disable/reverse engineer/bypass). Third party mods (CM etc that are not touchwiz kernel based) don't have this block.
[Galaxy S 5 General] vintagepc:
I think I'm SOL with my only remaining option to try flashing a custom ROM. The LTE radio in my device simply won't start on any band other than 25.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aventurer:
Sorry for the late reply, I basically gave up after not getting anywhere with hours spent on this, I tried flashing alternative modems and nothing would work.

So this is what happened to me. It would show it alternating between bands 2/25.

My theory is even though I was able to modify the bands on the device (the values registered) it didn't do anything.

It seems as if disabling bands is the only thing that really works.

CM13 (kltedv) seemed to run as an okay ROM for the Sprint S5, it was easier to force the 2/25 LTE band on, problem with this is when you disconnect from that tower or place a phone call it will revert back, plus there comes to be issues with texting/calling by forcing it on LTE and there seems to be issues with switching between LTE and HSPA+

I recommend purchasing a SM-G900T as it provides a multitude of bands and the bootloader is unlocked, only downside is the FM Radio does not work.

*If anyone gets other LTE bands working on this phone, PLEASE post the solution here it would be insanely appreciated*
[Galaxy S 5 General] vintagepc:
Yeah... there was some discussion as to whether the 900P doesn't have band calibrations for non-sprint LTE bands.

I'm not really looking for a new phone, just figured that if I could get LTE it would be a nice bonus.

Re FM radio: I looked into this some a while back, it works on the G900P because they have the correct radio transport code in the radio app... (other radio apps can't see the FM chipset) there are actually kernel modules (iris_radio_transport.ko) which should provide a standard FM radio interface for the G900P. Be interesting to compile those for a non-sprint phone and see if other models also have FM radio.
[Galaxy S 5 General] xHolomovementx:
Well this thread kind of got my hopes up, then back down again.

I would really like to be able use LTE with this phone for AT&T. Having a difficult time trying to get it to read with QPST. EFSpro works fine though.

[Galaxy S 5 General] xHolomovementx:
Also I got the values for 6828/6929 to stick. They are there when I reboot and everything. My biggest issue now is forcing LTE. I'm on CM13 and I have tried the prl method you mentioned but no matter what I try, LTE won't activate.

Success! Enabling all bands seemed to work!

But I'm in a different city, so I don't know if LTE will work when I get back to my home town. Will report back.

[Galaxy S 5 General] xHolomovementx:
Cyanogenmod 13 6.0.1
[Galaxy S 5 General] xHolomovementx:
Also when I got back into town, I couldn't connect to LTE anymore. I wonder if that might mean that my city uses a different or maybe a newer band. I also noticed that when you unlock the note 5 for sprint, it can already pick up LTE by default on in my city. And I know that the sprint Note 5 has a newer band that wasn't supported yet when the S5 came out. I can't remember what MHz it is.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Alexdream:
Thank you very much, I followed this guide and could successful add the LTE band 3 (1800) and now I enjoy full speed in my country Venezuela with Digitel.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Astrocreep1369:
So has this been fully resolved? I assume that the radio ability of each S5 variant modeled regionally should possess the ability to communicate and operate on any of the possible networks.... Hear me out: why spend extra anything on making separate hardware for phones essentially all going the same direction just varied depending on the carriers construction, but at the core I figure all should have the CAPABILITY its just a matter of telling the hardware what to do via commands (I am no expert by any means, I am an intermediate flasher, been modding for a couple of years but not in depth only on an as-needed basis lol) but seems logical to me to make them all capable out of the factory... If I'm being stupid some one feel free to check me lol I'm just bouncing this off y'all since I am currently on Tmo with a G900T on an aosp ROM OwnROM and was given a virtually new G900P from my mother who uses sprint unfortunately for her lol but I can get the phone unlocked and debranded but the devs there tell me it is not capable of LTE on Tmo so here I am. If anyone can point in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S 5 General] vintagepc:
It's not a question of the hardware, but rather the SOFTWARE being capable. Some folks have had success using the info here, others have not. Current thoughts are that whether you are successful depends on whether your phone has an RF calibration for the required bands. That is a step that is/can be done when the final device is ordered by the telco - so they can skimp by only calibrating the required bands for that provider's specs.

Some folks might have success and a cal owing to manufacturing processes; they might have a batch of global ones calibrated and ready when an order comes in and just grab those instead of re-calibrating them, refurbs, etc... or on the converse, the order is bigger than what they have on hand immediately, so they skimp on the cal to speed up production and save on labor costs/time.

So it's quite possible the hardware is capable, but you're never going to be able to calibrate the software at home without knowledge of their internal processes and tools to do that. And even if you could, pretty sure that's something the FCC could come knocking on your door about if you did it wrong and caused problems someone reported.
[Galaxy S 5 General] FNetV1:
I am having a little difficulty unlocking the AT&T LTE bands on my SM-G900P, I see that you have unlocked yours running a baseband that is about a few months to a year more recent that mines (My baseband is BOK3). I see that you are running Cyanogenmod Marshmallow and it looks like you were able to unlock the LTE bands running that version of android.

In my case, I am running ResurrectionRemix Marshmallow which is also based on Cyanogenmod Marshmallow (6.0.1) too, but I can't get mines to work apart from work. I mean, on QXDM I would enter the decimal value to unlock LTE bands, I would write it to the phone, I would read the values to confirm that it indeed wrote to them, then I would restart the phone, no LTE works. When I start the "Network Signal Guru" app and go to Unlock LTE bands, I can see the list of all the bands I had unlocked on QXDM, in this case I just copied the LTE bands T-Mobile's phone (SM-G900P) has, which are: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, and B17. and I see exactly this list here which means that the phone IS saving the values sent from QXDM. Previously I had just enabled ALL LTE bands, and this list on the app was huge, it had all the bands, but when you do it that way I can only see activity on Band 41, Band 25 and Band 26, these are the only bands the LTE radio are shuffling from on the history, there is no other bands that the phone tries to connect to despite me using AT&T, the phone would only work in HSPA+ mode.

I remember me spending hours over last years ago trying to unlock the bands without any success, but that was using Stock Lollipop and Stock Kitkat roms, and using QXDM. This time I decided to give it another go around, using my existing ResurrectionRemix 6.0.1 rom which is based on cyanogenmod. After I saw your screenshot I though that I shouldn't have any problems this time, but I got the same exact results last time, the bands, the value seems to be recorded on the phone because I can read back the values with QSDM, but the phone only camps on Bands 41, 26, and 25.

I am currently downloading cm-12.1-20160723-UNOFFICIAL-klte.zip I couldn't find the one ending in "ktlespr" (it was taken offline), but I think the "klte" one should work for my temporary purposes.

I already have on my back up drive the following: cm-11-20140901-UNOFFICIAL-klte.zip

So when I get the time I will flash these after doing a TWRP full backup of my existing rom and see what my success mileage would be.
[Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
As I mentioned in my post which is a few posts above yours, on OG1 I got absolutely no LTE so I used the QD1 firmware and I could get LTE. Your problem is likely because of your OK4 rom.

Have a look at my post. The details may help you:

Can my rooted droid turbo get warranty at Verizon store ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
No one can get a warranty replacement at a Verizon store. If you go to a Verizon store, they will tell you to go home, go to this website, and file your claim there: http://www.phoneclaim.com/verizon/?pod=claim&icid=in-vzwclaim&tntref=https://www.bing.com/.

Now, the question is should you do this, and the answer depends on why you are getting a warranty replacement. If there is no physical/water damage, and the phone is less than 1 year old, you're better off getting a free replacement from Motorola here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/service/. I got a motorola replacement with a rooted phone, and there were no issues.

However, if your phone does not meet these requirements, you will need to go the Verizon route. While unlocking your bootloader technically voids your warranty, I've heard from a few people that it's not really enforced, and they'll replace your phone anyway.

I sideloaded a bad zip to my phone using Root toolkit software and since then I see "Unfortunately System UI has stopped" message in loop.

When I try to enter recovery mode by pressing Volume Up + Down + Power buttons, I don't see the options. Just android logo with red exclamation is shown in recovery mode.

When I try using Root toolkit to install stock ROM then root toolkit software gives error message that ADB device is found but it was listed as "unauthorized" which I know that I have to accept that confirmation popup in the phone when we connect phone to computer. Since the System UI stopped error comes at phone bootup, I can't see the above fingerprint confirm dialog box too.

Any idea what can be done to resolve this?

I recently picked this 7" tablet, a Ematic EGQ377BL, for a mere $35 new. It was a steal, Quad Core, 8GB storage, 1GB of ram, with an external SD card reader.

Now I'm just curious, does anyone know how to root these things?

Or get cyanogenmod or another custom ROM working.

As far as port work goes, what is involved?
