Just wanted to give some info I found using QPST(qualcomm software) to see what cell bands are configured for our HTC One M8. I even looked at the Rezound bands as well. As most of you know, verizon didn't carrier lock our phones, so if we switch to global or even GSM network, we can use other carriers GSM SIM cards. Just need to properly configure the APN's of course. Below are the bands that the phone will search for when Global Network is selected. I pulled this configuration from my actual device. The Rezound only was missing Bit 19 & 49 selection, but everything else was selected:
[Bit_00] Band Class 0, A-System
[Bit_01] Band Class 0, B-System
[Bit_02] Band Class 1, all blocks
[Bit_07] GSM DCS 1800 band
[Bit_08] GSM Extended GSM (E-GSM) band
[Bit_09] GSM Primary GSM (P-GSM) band
[Bit_19] GSM 850 band
[Bit_21] GSM PCS 1900 band
[Bit_22] WCDMA Band I - EUROPE JAPAN & CHINA IMT 2100 band
[Bit_23] WCDMA Band II - US PCS 1900 band
[Bit_26] WCDMA Band V - US 850 band
[Bit_49] WCDMA Band VIII - EUROPE & JAPAN 900 band
I'm guessing the reason some of us are having issues on Tmobile is that the AWS bands are missing? Can we enable them somehow?

It could possibly be activated using QPST, but there are other steps to do it. The only issue is that since QPST is the QualComm radio programing, there is potential to lose signal quality or lose all radio functionality. That said, it could also be possible to recover by flashing the original firmware or RUU to recover. I now T-mobile uses 1900 GSM PCS band and AWS 1700 mHZ. There is another program I use to actually enable more bands. The program basically converts the selection of bands to a hexidecimal number to use in QPST software to program the added bands. Again, not sure if the Qualcom chip can use it. There is a WCDMA band selection for Bit (25) IV- US 1700 than could be programed to enable. I used a thread from the Sony Xperia forum to help me use the two programs.

I activated all other bands yet i still didn't get LTE, so i assume the restriction is somewhere within the chip perhaps.

Nop, if someone can tell me which Rom has the change bands function then can try that as well. But even after opening the bands I'm only able to get H 14.4mbps.
Are you currently in Europe too? I'm dying to get Vodafone lte on this handset. 3g works fine but I haven't tried the qpst route yet.

I have an old phone info app that's the 4636 menu thing. Hadn't tried this before but just tried assigning the bands there. Somehow that just hosed me and now I only get the 1900 band it seems, so phone is radio-less for me now

There's a solution for this problem, if you are s-off-ed. I also did the same thing - i selected USA bands and my phone radio died. Just make a nandroid, flash ARHD , go to the same 4636 menu and it will give you another option in band selection - Auto!! Choose auto, then reboot and make sure you have connection with the network. Then restore from nandroid and you're good to go! I will try to find the link to the original thread!

Thanks that was helpful! Somehow I also had recently loaded a Xposed app to show CPU speed on the top bar. I uninstalled that then after two reboots things came back. So odd, but I'm not complaining at this point.
after a google search it seems people have gotten into problems with chaning bands on verizon devices, the above solutions brings the radio back to life. But it certainly doesn't unlock LTE on europe bands.
So i guess its a lost cause, as it must be a hardware limitation
Yeah disappointing that we can't add those

Hey Guys,
I have a Motorola RAZR HD XT925 which was sourced from Rogers Canada. I was wondering how I can check the devices LTE frequencies? Is there any engineering code and/or menu that would assist with this? This device apparently supports LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600 or LTE 700 / 800 / 1700 / 1800 / 2600 according to GSM Arena. I am wanting to use the LTE 1800MHz frequency in Australia, though cannot get it to connect.
I have tried the following:
Searching for networks manually / letting the device select them automatically
Toggling between 3G only and Automatic (4G/3G/2G)
I definitely have the correct APN settings configured (for Telstra in Australia)
Data is enabled, the SIM card connects to 4G in another mobile
Any assistance would be appreciated, in finding out which LTE network frequencies this device supports.

Do not rely on GSM Arena those guys are rookies.
The Rogers RAZR HD has LTE 700/1700/2100 via the rogers website.

XT925: (international)
Secondary Cellular Networks: LTE700 (B17), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1800 (B3), LTE2600 (B7), LTE800 (B20)
From what I've read, B3 is Australia's LTE band, so it is supported, but it might be turned off in roger's radio.
Have you tried installing the firmware for Telstra? It's available here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/van...25_A045_WIG149790_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943879 Maybe switching to your provider's firmware will fix the LTE issue.
Hi
Can you please provide an update. Did you manage to flash the Testra fw and latch in to the LTE 1800 band?
Coz i would like to buy a phone and do the same thing as you. I would not buy if you did not suceed.

Hi. This is a good source here in Australia. Hopefully is updated and current. http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies
Note, however, that LTE is really new here and not yet well implemented. I live in Sydney, but I'm outside of the LTE network at home. I'd have to travel closer to the business district to get it. I think its implemented around the airport as well. LTE is still a work in progress and Telstra is ahead of the game with the other telcos, but you're going to want to be able to connect to their "Next G" or 3.5 G to fallback on otherwise youre going to get 2G.
In any case, you want to make sure your APN settings are correct as well. There is loads of misinformation about that. You can have Telstra set them for you (or at least it worked on my Galaxy S2, haven't tried with this phone since I got it from their store). Try this link and see if it the correct one: http://www.configure.telstra.com.au/telstra/index.jsp
On my Galaxy S2, I had read lots of documentation and had things working but found that after going through a Telstra automated thing (I think the above link), that it set my APNs for me and I ended up with better speed and signal.
Just found this from their site as well concerning their 4G and 3G frequencies: http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/coverage-networks/networks/
The 2100 frequency on their 3G or NextG (3.5G) may have been turned off at this point; I don't remember. They may still be using it for legacy phones and people on bring your own phone plans but I beleive they had wanted to either shut it down or sell it to another carrier. I don't recall that my SGS2 got 850 ... I just noticed there's tabs on the Telstra page that explains their coverage. Click on them and that's more accurate than what I just typed
I suspect your problem is that you may not be in an LTE covered area. Either that or its your APN settings. Let us know how it goes.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read your post properly that the SIM works in another device. If it isn't your APN settings, you can take it to a Telstra store and ask them if they know what the problem is. On occasion they do know what their talking about. You can point them at this web page if need be and it might encourage them to look a little deeper:

Telstra's 3G 2100MHz network was part of 3GIS, an agreement between Telstra and VHA, which ended on August 31st. Telstra still uses the 3G 2100MHz network frequency, it is actually part of their Next G network now, they however do not advertise this, as very few sites are still using this network frequency, and it is far more important to have a device that supports 3G 850MHz. Telstra lost quite a few 3G 2100MHz sites when 3GIS closed, although all of the areas would have had 3G 850MHz anyhow, so it was not really a big deal.
I have had a few people asking about enabling AWS on the NJ4 baseband running KitKat 4.4.4. I found that the MF3 modem will no longer work with NJ4 builds. After some trial and error and referencing a few threads and getting some direction by a user Product F(RED) I found a method that works for my s4 I337 on the newer roms.
Try this at your own risk there is always the possibility that something could go wrong.
1) BE ROOTED
2) install a app called terminal emulator onto the phone
3) Dial *#0808# on the keypad
4) select RNDIS + DM + MODEM
5) Install QPST Setup 2.7 build 323 on the computer
6) Find the program RF NV Item Manager that was installed when installing QPST and open it(Located in the QPST install folder)
7) Read the values on the phone under the File option(File-Read from phone)
8) look for line 1877 and change the number that reads 82314112 to now show 115868544
line 1877 should now read 115868544
THEN
9) Select FILE and then WRITE CHANGED NV ITEMS TO PHONE.
WAIT FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN DONE
10) Use terminal emulator to enter command
su
Then enter command
setprop persist.usb.eng 0
then reboot the phone.
done
Root access is needed to do this method as terminal emulator is used. This is the method i used and it worked. I was pointed to a similar method by Product F(RED) and after some trial and error, I came up with a working method using some logical reasoning after reading the thread at "Unlock all bands of your Qualcomm device." I used a stock rom 1st due to the touchwiz enabled capabilities however I changed roms afterwords. Just make sure the new rom of choice don't upgrade the modem

unfortunately this does not work for me.. not sure why. I have WCDMA Preferred enabled.. but the Wind Network doesn't register. I am on a rooted NJ4 Baseband and modem. is there anything else i could look into? its funny my phone worked for months.. then all of a sudden it stopped picking up the Wind Network. hence me trying all of this.. I also updated the ROM to NJ4 just to try this out.
Question, did you keep the NJ4 Modem or did you stick to the MF3 modem but just performed the above steps?

The MF3 modem wouldn't work with 4.4.4 and this is the reason i had to use the NJ4 modem. I wanted to run the 4.4.4 rom. Im on T-mobile and did this just to unlock aws for the full spectrum of the tmobile band.

It looks like the OC3 kernel doesn't support the COM port mode that the QPST needs to communicate with. Trying to set it will just be registered as an unknown device in Windows.
You will have to roll back to a Kitkat ROM to use this process. There are already a few reports that the modification persists after upgrading to OC3, and none that say it doesn't.
USSD Codes

Running the Insane ROM built off the i919 in Safestrap on my i337. Had AWS enabled before updating to 4.4.4 but now I am trying to enable it again and cant run any USSD codes. Just gives me an unable to process error every time.
Any ideas?? Thanks!!

I Had the same issue.. after I used it once it never let me back in through the dial pad... randomly today I found how to get in and have a nice little UI too lol I was poking around in my app called Phone Info * Samsung* by vndnguyen in the app store you need root access but in the menu it not only shows you all your phones secret codes but if you push other tools it gives you 4 options one is service mode (root) easy UI in Service mode for USSD codes enjoy
Downgrade from 5.0.1?
Just want to confirm, if I downgrade the phone from 5.0.1 what should I downgrade to to enable AWS?
Easy enough to follow. Any way to properly ensure it they have been "activated." I've seen the menus (*#*#4636#*#*, *#0011#, *#2263#, etc...), but I've only seen it show Band 2 850Mhz with 10 Freq. I haven't been to other places in my area yet to see if it changes since I just did this last night. I'm assuming it automatically picks the frequencies to stay on LTE if it's in the area, right?

Ever get an answer to your question? I'm now on a TM MVNO and need 1700 open for LTE.
From US Mobile FAQ
Your data speed depends on what type of phone you are using. Please check your device's specifications to see if your phone offers data features. In order to access the high speed data network, your device must include a 1700/2100 (AWS) frequency band.

when the value is set to 82314112 then *#2263# will not let you select the 1700 WCDMA Band Preference. Once the new value of 115868544 is written to the phone, the option will stick when selected. You most likely wouldn't want to leave it set to 1700 WCDMA but that depends on your situation. Automatic always seems to select the best connection. However a good way to test it would be to
Open the phone pad and dial *#2263#
Select WCDMA Band Preference
Select WCDMA 1700
Hit menu key select back. Make sure the star is on WCDMA 1700. If not, the NV value on line 1877 is most likely still set at 82314112 and not 115868544.
However if the star is set on WCDMA 1700 and you are a subscriber to a provider offering service on that band, you should be picking it up.
Set back to automatic when done.
Tmobile shut down the 1700 band in my area as its all been refarmed. When i was testing it in January 2015 it connected to 1700 no problem.

i would mess with this some more If they ever dropped a lollipop version for the tmobile m919 with working wifi calling. My understanding is that they dont make a lollipop rom with wifi calling at this time.
Hi All,
I was recently on holidays in the USA which using my Photon Q sim modded by Cornholio I was able to get LTE on T-Mobile. This was only in areas where they have re-farmed 1900 mhz (band 2) to LTE. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I also changed nv 6828 for 1900mz bands 2 & 25. So in theory LTE should work on AT&T where they use 1900 mhz band 2 LTE. AT&T was was coming up a lot when I was doing a network search. It is listed as AT&T 4g.
Regards,
Sebastian

Hope you enjoyed your visit...
I've never played with any of this, but I'm an AT&T user in US... what exactly are you saying to try setting in the phone in order to try to get LTE on AT&T.... and if there's any way to know if AT&T is using that band in a particular area?

Hi,
This is what I did with my phone to get LTE was the following: Using the phone dialer
*#*#4636#*#* and in phone information menu change data to LTE/GSM/WCDMA
##3282# and in the LTE menu make sure that you have LTE as enabled, if not edit the value to enabled. You need to use the msl code for your phone to do this. I have an app to do this if you need.
To see if AT&T 1900 LTE is available in your area, go into settings, mobile network settings, network operators and choose the option search networks. A list of available networks will come up. If you have AT&T 1900 LTE band 2 available, this will be listed as AT&T 4G. Tap on this and you should be able to get LTE. The Photon Q lists LTE as 4G in the status bar on the top of the phone.
Hope that this is some help
I am using TMO SIM on Verizon S III on CM12.1 (5.1.1). Only I have issue is Data. Always data is on "Edge". Is there any way we can change from Edge to LTE? like changing Radio software, etc...
Please share your thoughts.

A couple of thoughts:
Did you change to the TMO settings for APN?
I have seen references to TMO using 1700/2100 AWS for data signal but is adding 1900 WCDMA in this and the AT&T SGS3 forums. My understanding is that the i535 uses the WCDMA 2100 out of the box. This may be a direction to point your searches if APN settings is not the issue.
That's correct here APN is not an issue. I am looking for solution convert from 1900 WCDMA to 1700/2100 AWS. Or is it a hardware which we cannot convert it? I don't know.

All phones are typically tied down to specific bands. More than likely changing it will not be an option

I found this
The i535 supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 2100 out of the box. We are trying to get WCDMA 1900 working (and 850/1700 if we can).

I brought back a Pro 2 F350L from Korea because it was listed in swappa as the Att device unlocked. I took it to T-Mobile put in a sim card which automatically chose the appropriate apns. I only get 3g no lte. I have scoured the web and these forums but cant find the info that tells me wether i got the wrong device for Tmo bands. I need help either configuring the correct bands or correct radio to flash or if this device won't or can't get lte on Tmo network. I am more than happy to reward the parties or person who helps me figure out this problem. If i have the wrong phone then so be it i will get the other model (that gets tmo lte) and unload this F350L. Thanks for any and all help.
In network mode, do you have GSM/WCDMA/LTA auto to select, or just GSM/WCDMA auto?

Looks like you have the wrong phone ... https://support.t-mobile.com/message/435224#435224
Bottom line, for optimal utility a T-Mobile phone needs to be:
1. Quad-band GSM
2. HSPA+ on at least band 2, band 4 & band 1 (2100) for roaming.
3. LTE on bands 1, 2, 4 & 12.

So seeing the bands I posted would the phone work for ATT? Thats a huge question because it (350L) is posted on Swappa a a ATT phone? At least I can unload it there, LOL.

"AT&T 4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently."

So the F350S works on ATT and here are Your Phones Bands (as listed here on XDA)
LG F350S
WCDMA - 2100/1900/850, GSM - 900/850/1800/1900 MHz, LTE - 1/5/3/7/17
So will these Bands work with T-Mobile? I really love this device and I am totally hooked on the 5.9 inch screens color so I am hoping your ATT Model (The one your using) will work on T-Mobile? If it does I am more than happy to send you a few duckets

So will this model and bands shown below work on T-Mobile and get roaming and LTE as well?

wiseguyy, I believe the phone must have band 2 and/or 4 for it to utilize TMO's LTE service. From what I've read, band 1 is used only for roaming. Read the entire thread you quoted above.
