I have purchased the US LTE version and live in Australia.
Is it possible to modify the LTE bands available on the US version so I can us LTE in Australia? Specifically I would like to be able to use the 1800MHz band for LTE.
Or are the LTE bands hardware specific to the different versions of the shield?
I can still use HSPA+ so it's not a deal breaker but it would be nice to use LTE as well.
Maybe you shoud try to flash the European Lte version.
Of course you must be rooted and have recovery like CWM installed.
When done that you can try it.
When it works it works and when not you can always go back.
Same problem

Hi,
I am in Australia and I got an unlocked Spring Galaxy S5 g900p which I was using with Vodafone AU on 4G.
Last night I updated to the latest g900p firmware using Odin to get the stagefright patch and afterwards I am only getting 3G. The "Global" network mode is gone and was replaced with "Automatic." Is there a way in the system where I can re-enable "Global" or atleast LTE Band 3? I am rooted with the latest stock firmware.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
you can, but apparently you need to do some work with odin.

Sir I purchased a new unlocked S6 Edge ( 925A) at&t device from abroad to use in india.
The guy told it's fully unlocked and it support any sim card. Buy when I checked with Indian Sims I am getting only 2g signals .. I am not getting 3G and 4g signals..
When I checked for network selection mode settings it's missing in the settings.
No software OTA update is available. . I think it's also disabled.. when I checked the device status it is in "custom"..
So if I flash a stock ROM with Odin will it lock again ?
Do I need to unlock it again.. ??
First check the model from bootloader, if its actually a att variant then you can flash a stock rom too make it work as normal, but if its some other variant then get back to this thread again.
Its surely an at&t Variant of Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE.. its model number is 925A.. which is only available for ATT..
Its baseband version is G925AUCU1AOCE
I purchased this phone as fully unlocked from UAE but in india when i start to use it i came to know that its not taking 3G and 4G signals .. but 2g Signal and Data services are working fine..
I got the phone in rooted condition without any Boot animation of At&t. Since its rooted i am not getting any official updates.
I am also facing many software bugs.. from different apps..
So really want to flash the phone with a new stock rom for using it..
I have some doubts about it please clear it..
1) if i flash it with an official att stock rom will it lock again for att network ?
2) can i remove the att boot animation after flashing with stock rom ?
Sent from my SM-925A using XDA Free mobile app
Providers in India use bands 3, 40, and 41 for LTE. The AT&T S6 Edge is only compatible with band 3.
I doubt you'd be able to flash a different ROM, and even if you could, you still wouldn't have compatibility with bands 40 or 41.
Firstly Thanks for your reply.. i know that S6 Edge at&t only support Band 3 LTE cuz it's a FDD LTE supported device.. in my country here providers are using both TDD & FDD LTE bands for LTE..
In my region "Kerala" at presently all the providers are using Band 3 which is compatible will my phone. But i am not receiving any LTE and 3G signals..
My friends have different unlocked phones from T-Mobile they are not facing any problem..
I am still doubt the flashing ROM.. i am going to flash the stock rom for at&t.. it's the only official rom available for my device.
It could be an APN issue. Make sure the settings are the same as your friends are using. Beyond that, I have no idea.
Nothing Wrong with the APN.. cuz i am using 2G data without any problems.
We have same APN for all 2G ,3G & 4G..
I think its the problem with my software..
I can't switch between LTE/WCDMA/2G because that network mode selection option is disabled or not available..
I am compelled to flash a new Rom..
I don't have any other options.
I own a good phone but i can't use it . Really sad about it..
for sure people here can help you more on this

Hello,
I have a Xperia Z3 D6616 T-Mobile variant, and I was wondering if the Z3 D6603 have the same radio hardware as the D6616.
Because the D6603 support many LTE bands, but the D6603 T-Mobile one supports just the LTE bands 2,4,12 and none of them work in my country.
I followed this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...d-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269/
And managed to unlock all the LTE bands, and I was hoping that my D6616 hardware supports at least the LTE bands 3 or 20 who are working in my country, but LTE is still not working, so I think maybe I don't have the hardware, but I need to be sure please if anyone can help? or maybe if there is a way to add the two LTE bands (3 or 20) in some way I'd be very grateful.
PS : The (Before & After) pictures, show "4G" but in fact it's just HSPA+. When I type *#*#4636#*#*, and select LTE only, the signal disappears so there is no support.
Can I install the drivers on Windows XP?

Upgrade your OS, even trying to connect to the internet via tethering to an XP machine was hopeless because of drivers.
hello
i was gifted a D6603 running android 5.1, i downloaded via flashtool the Generic Global firmware for this model, and after upgrading, i can't connect to any LTE or 3G signal, it only lists 2G signal.
the device worked perfectly before upgrading, i never checked the bands listed on the service menu before upgrading, now the listed bands are
GSM_850 GSM_900 GSM_1800 GSM_1900
UMTS_BC1 UMTS_BC5 UMTS_BC6 UMTS_BC19
LTE_BC1 LTE_BC3 LTE_BC19 LTE_BC21
D6603 should have a lot more bands, and they were obviously available before updating it
lacking almost all the bands to work in Chile, i don't know what to do, i tried GENERIC_LAM with no success, even downgraded to 4.4.4, always checking the rom says LTE_GLOBAL
Edit:
customization number 1288-2296 no roms matching that number anywhere, confirmed that NFC is not working also
the only thing that seems to be my last chance is finding the exact rom it used
Hello,
I live in Switzerland and have a Exynos Galaxy S7. Will looking for accessories on Aliexpress, I noticed that the refurbished US variants sell for a huge discount compared to the SM-G930F (up to 80$) version. I saw that the G930F seems to support all LTE bands will the other are more constrained (but the AT&T version supports all the bands used in Europe as well). So my question is are they simlocked? Would they work in Europe (out of curiosity)?
Thanks
No advices?
You can get carrier unlocked US models which will accept any SIM, and they should work in the rest of the world. Of course network availability would vary, but you've already checked that. So if the US model supports all the bands your carrier uses you should be fine.
Only problem is the US model has a locked bootloader, so you can't use a custom recovery or ROMs. From memory root is possible but doing it is a bit different.
I'm not sure if you'd be able to flash your carriers CSC onto a US model phone, since the CSC would be built for the 930F. Which means OTA updates etc might not reach you, and you'll have to manually flash firmware updates.
