[Q] How to unlock LTE bands on G920V? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

would you mind telling us how you did it? I'm trying to enable dm mode for g920v too.
Thank you

I've been trying to unlock LTE Band 3 for a while now.
You can forget about using QPST, since this tool is for Qualcomm processors. Our S6's have an Exynos soc.
@hackerx1001, I'd like to know how you managed to get your phone to work in DM Mode.
Also, was CDMA Workshop working ?
Thanks

Soc is Exynos but modem may be from Qualcomm. I believe Qualcomm holds some patents for the use CDMA and Samsung may have used modem from Qualcomm for the Verizon variant.
since QXDM appears in Service mode, modem may be from Qualcomm.

You are entirely right, the modem is from Qualcomm, and we will be able to use QPST...once we get the DM Mode working.
There is another thread talking about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/help/dmmode-t3105630

It seems @hackerx1001 managed to enable DM port.
 @lostvangel said He managed to unlock LTE band 3 for GSM/LTE network. It would be great if they could share their knowledge. Many users are still trying to figure it out.

[Q] QPST?

Have any of you gotten QPST to connect to this phone?
I can get the phone to show as a modem in my device manager, but I can't get QPST to connect successfully.
If you got it to work, and can read from and write to the phone what did you do exactly?

QPST is for CDMA phones. It lets you provision the phone. Its the main tool i used to flash verizon and sprint phones to MetroPCS back in the day.
I was wondering if it was CDMA only. I searched google but couldn't really find an answer.

[Q] No DMMODE?

Verizon S6, has no DMMODE??
##366633# does work and has the option to enable, but PC does not recognize the device, any1 else having the same problem?
any ideas how to enable Diag mode on S6?
Having the same issue. Device Manager doesn't recognize the device. It shows up as "Unknown USB Device (Configuration Descriptor Request Failed)."
I tried installing the latest Samsung drivers but that didn't help. Did you have any luck in connecting this?

sprint ones ##3424# WORK (Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920P), fully working, only thing with those models getting the SPC is a pain.
these verizon ones, well clearly we are missing something. ##366633# / ##DMMODE#, a hidden menu a key sequence any thoughts? nothing on the recovery menu to help either.
back to the drawing broad start fresh... any new mode discovered for Verizon S6?

You mean to say that you've gotten it to connect to your PC properly? As in the USB device shows. Can you tell me what it looks like in Device Manager? What is the Hardware ID in the device properties? Mine is all screwed up, so the only place I could even see a VID or PID is in the device instance Path, as shown in the attached image.

Samsung Galaxy S7 G930F with G930V Bootloader??

I recently bought S7 SM-G930F, but when I went into it's phone info and recovery, I saw that it has a Verizon bootloader. All the rest is of 930f. even the phone says 930f everywhere. I am not sure what this is. I am also facing some signal dropping issues, especially when I switch on to data network. I did the refurbishment check and it came out clean and original.
Can someone please guide me how to fix this? Perhaps a way to change the bootloader to that of 930F without screwing up the phone?
Please find the pics attached for reference.
Thanks in advance for the help.

you phone is a verizon see the snapdragon chipset and the baseband version
either you have flashed a phone with G930F kernel and rom
or whoever sold this to you tried to scam you
dont flash the F bootloader
Your phone is the verizon version which are much cheaper in comparison to the unlocked exynos variants
Flash verizon rom to get back proper caLL functions

Thanks for the response. I think I got scammed then. Two things though:
1) It somehow seemed to work the 1800 band for 4g, which is supported by 930F and not 930V I believe.
2) secondly, even the back of my phone says 930F .. like everything about it says 930F .. like is even the body changed??

I flashed S7 Verizon Sm930v Android 7.
Firmware - G930VVRS4BQC9
Process is simple if u know how to use odin its like regular flash.
And yes this firmware comes with all the verizon bad stuffs but good thing is that most of them can be disabled.I wouldnt care if i wanted to use Nought on my phone.
Still network signal is poor though.

so I successfully managed to flash the Verizon rom. Now my question is, can we altogether remove Verizon and have some debloated or 930f bootloader/rom instead? I saw one video where he converts 930v to 930f but he gave no links to the files he used.

VoLTE & Oneplus phones?

Hi there,
Cutting to the chase.
Australian, use Vodafone AU when at home, but working in the Philippines a lot this year (Smart Philippines), plus travel often to Taiwan.
Need VoLTE for VF AU, would love it for Taiwan (TW Mobile), dont think Smart offers it at all in PH YET, but if and when, would also be great, but less critical.
Currently have a Pixel 3 XL from VF AU, so thats sorted.
Wondering, if I get a Oneplus 7 P, what is likely to be needed to make it work?
Previously had to run custom ROMS on previous HTCs to get non native network support for VoLTE, even then it required the ROM cooker to code it in.
Please educate me!

there must be a way to enable serial and full-port switch (also the VOLTE switch similar to *#800#)
im pretty sure its a qualcomm / factory mode settings, it must have moved somewhere else.
i cant image oneplus getting rid of it all together.
whats TP debug?
ive sent an email to OP hopefully they can get back with an answer.
i know my pixel3xl enters a qualcom mode when i press the volume up button and have it plugged to my PC (from power off - hold down volume up and plug into PC)
maybe its similar?

you could wait for the MSM tool to be released
if you break something you can always use the MSM tool to repair EFS
pretty sure you can create a backup of efs using fastboot (i dont know exactly how)
I have VOLTE just popped sim card in and it showed up. Didn't have to do anything. 12gb unlocked version on ATT.
Qualcomm drivers don't seem to work with the 7. Can't find the device in PDC after enabling serial & full-port switch.
I noticed compared to the 6, that VoLTE and VoWiFi works for one of my carrier (Vodafone NL) out of the box. The trick that I did on my 6 also made VoLTE work for my other carrier (KPN NL) which doesn't work with the 7 pro out of the box.

Out of curiosity, what was your phone before? Mine is due for delivery today, I have ATT and my phone before is a 6T. Just wondering because I want to make sure I still have VoLTE. Thanks!

did you open as admin? i dont see why it wouldnt work
did you connect phone then open the PDC software?
perhaps we need an updated PDC/QPST tool?
Qualcomm drivers: https://qc2.androidfilehost.com/dl/...4074/QUD.WIN.1.1+Installer-10037.3+Setup.zip?
QPST: https://qpsttool.com/qpst-tool-v2-7-474
try these. they look like the latest versions.
perhaps try a different USB port also.
if this doesnt work, we might have to try and get in touch with the OP and see if they know of any way to get it working.
i dont have my 7Pro yet to try this.
I tried with 2 different computers and I have those exact versions you linked installed.
Yes, I opened as admin.
Yes, I connected the phone first then opened the software. I tried reconnecting with the software open too but also, no luck.
I tried searching for a driver in Device Manager manually by browsing to both the Qualcomm and OnePlus folders.

Issue with MSM tool.

Hello guys. I've tried on two computers with the official one plus charging cable to MSM back to stock, downloaded the files two times, with no luck. I keep getting SMT config issue. I follow the guide correctly.
Are you using the correct MSM tool for your phones model number?

Yes. IN2017, I downloaded the folder twice from the TMO thread in the one plus 8 forum. Also to note, I follow the instructions perfectly. The TMO forum states "click other, then from the menu choose TMO. click start then you get your phone in the correct mode and plug it in"(not word for word but yes). When I do that however even if my phones not plugged in, I get the error stated. As soon as I push start. Sorry if that makes no sense. I tried it on two computers. Basically no matter what I get an SMT error
On my msm tool, the SMT option is grayed out. Im usiing this tool with the IN2017 model, and yes i have the tmobile variant.
