Hi friends.
i have a sprint note 5, it is international unlock. Everything is ok but i have a problem.
i have been living in Turkey and my note 5 doesnt support lte in my country.
i can get only 3g now, i think lte bands is not compatible. So, i wonder is there any lte option enable bands.

how can i do to solve this problem.
what is the service menu of sprint note 5?
regards.

Not sure if international unlock is different but ##72786# in dialer will reset data provisioning to factory without needing msl and only resetting data configuration without resetting phone or user files. The 3282 one will allow u to view data settings without msl but msl needed to change anything, some custom roms/kernels have this bypassed allowing data settings accessible without msl. Id try scrtn first (72786)

Or signal guard app may be worth trying if rooted as it will have an option for radio locking where you can change preferred network type. The app also can be used unrooted just not sure what that is like as I havent tried unrooted.
Is there any option to learn msl in my phone ?

You'll have to contact sprint, if you call care they will sometimes give it to you, or if you know someone at a store they might be able to look it up for you
If you want to root or are rooted there are other options as well, but without the trouble of that it should be easier to get it from sprint. They do have terms for it which can be found somewhere on their site, I'd google sprint unlock policy. You will most likely come across workarounds as well from the same search results.

If u r rooted or would rather not gamble your luck with the various different service reps (all working for the same company) http://idoneapps.com would be, in my opinion, the most simple and surebet option available to obtaining the msl, among several other options that I believe would be a tremendous help to you. There may be other methods out there, however, just from my experience with the same model phone and whether marshmallow or lollipop it has without a doubt worked successfully.

And apologies if the link is not within the rules as for being free or whatever, I just wasnt sure how to go about it as it had once been posted on a forum on here being shared for free and was requested by idoneapps to be removed so in respect to that I only felt comfortable pointing in the honest direction, what you decide from there is entirely up to you.
My friends, i have got msl code now and i checked setting.
I have seen that i havent lte 3 7 20 bans , so i cant see lte signal in my note 5.
How can i add this lte bands for my note 5?
Is it possible?
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA-Developers mobile app
The bands supported by the n920p are bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 25, 26, 41
Dear my friend.
I can see band3 setting but it says not supported.
I think, can it solve with new kernel or porting new firmware
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have entered this 72786 code and reset but i cant see my network now,emergency call only. It is sprint phone but unlocked to sim free by sprint. I tried this code because i also have problem with Lte.
It is note 5 n920p.
What should i do?
Hello, I have my H634 (from Cricket) unlocked.
and recently switched to T-Mobile.
I know the phone might not 100% support T-Mobile network but want to give a try.
so I have put the T-Mobile Sim and I manually punch in the APN information.
Then I tried to access internet and it goes to T-Mobile website says my data plan not support this device.
Sounds like since no T-Mobile connect and it goes to it's partner connection but they refused to let you use it (since tmobile have to pay).
any idea I can force to enable to network connection in this case?
Did you call T-Mobile?
I thought Cricket,Verizon,Sprint,Boost was a cdma company not gsm like Tmobile,Metro,AT&T.

Hi All,
After some research, I found out that the Note 20 Ultra 5G SM-N9860 HK (TGY) or CN (CHC) probably the best variant there is.
It's a Snapdragon 865+ 12GB RAM 256/512GB storage.
Carrier and Bootloader unlocked.
4G&5G supports most of the bands worldwide.
The CN (CHC) have build in Call recording (to be confirmed but no Samsung Pass AFAIK).
The only thing is to find a trusted online store to purchase it from (sending worldwide).
Any suggestions?

Thanks for this, very useful!
If you live in Europe, try wondamobile.com - they are reliable and Ive read many good things about them on the web, reddit, etc. They also take care of import tax and mostly sell HK version.
I am also leaning towards HK to be on safe side and waiting for Wonda to have them in stock.

I cant recommend more Wondamobile. Refreshing their page every 5 min. I think they will drop it 1 week before start shipping. About HK version i saw that its comming in HK on 28.8, just a heads up. For ultra there is 256GB/512GB variant and thanks good 12GB ram.
https://www.samsungeshop.com.cn/item/SM-N9860/1659.htm#xq-desc
Cant wait to try root it. If anyone have bbs.gfan account please hit me in DM
Sadly Wondamobile doesn't ship to most of the world.
Any other suggestions?

Hmm on their website they state that they ship to most of the world for £20: https://www.wondamobile.com/faq
Q: Where do you ship to?
A: Shipping is free to the United Kingdom and USA, and is only £20 more to most worldwide countries. Shipping to all countries is fully tracked.
What country you live in?

I had a word with their customer service and they said they are waiting for Samsung HK to get the shipping dates and that they will most likely start taking orders from mid of August. So we just need to check every day
Cancelled my UK Exynos order yesterday, waiting for Wonda to order from there...
Man, why can't Samsung make 1 phone version as any other normal company? So frustrating!

Yes i made some cross reference with S20 announcement and when they start shipping it and preorders are usually 1-2 weeks before they ship it. Only keep it on mind HK/CH version i think will release on 28.8 offical site where it says so. https://www.samsungeshop.com.cn/item/SM-N9860/1659.htm#xq-desc

Ah, thanks a lot, I was trying to do the same but couldn't find the date when Wonda started to sell the phone.
So its seems legit they will start to take preorders this or next week. Can't wait!

No info yet for Note 20, but it will be available once Wonda will have the phone for sale.
However, it should be pretty similar to S20 Ultra that has the following specs:
TECHNOLOGY GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE / 5G
2G BANDS GSM: GSM850,GSM900,DCS1800,PCS1900
3G BANDS WCDMA: B1(2100),B2(1900), B5(850),B8(900)
4G BANDS 4G FDD-LTE: B1(2100),B2(1900),B3(1800),B4(AWS),B5(850),B7(2600),B8(900),B12(700),B13(700), B18(800),B19(800),B20(800),B25(1900),B26(850),B28(700) 4G TDD-LTE: B34(2010),B38(2600),B39(1900),B40(2300),B41(2500)
5G BANDS 5G Sub-6 FDD: N1(2100) / 5G Sub-6 TDD: N78(3500),N79(4500)
So you should check with your mobile provider to see what bands they use and compare against these ones.
Thanks

You will need to contact your mobile operator and ask them to provide their frequencies and compare them against the ones in the phone to make sure it will work.
I live in the UK so dont know much about US frequencies.

As far as I am aware only Hong Kong versions have unlocked bootloader for Snapdragon. The US one doesn't.
Exynos, on the other hand, has fully unlocked bootloader so can be rooted.
On the other hand, do you really need rooting the phone? As far as I am aware there is currently no option to root without destroying Knox, but I might be wrong.
Here are the GSM specs from Wonda for Hong Kong version:
2G BANDS GSM: GSM850,GSM900,DCS1800,PCS1900
3G BANDS WCDMA: B1(2100),B2(1900), B5(850),B8(900)
4G BANDS 4G FDD-LTE: B1(2100),B2(1900),B3(1800),B4(AWS),B5(850),B7(2600),B8(900),B12(700),B13(700), B18(800),B19(800),B20(800),B25(1900),B26(850),B28(700) 4G TDD-LTE: B34(2010),B38(2600),B39(1900),B40(2300),B41(2500)

Well, well, well...You convinced me to switch from the Korean Version I was looking at to the HK/CN version. Gain the support for dual sim(even though I don't use it). Almost the same price of the Korean version I was buying, expect with WonderMobile import fees are included, which is a plus. Both HK and Korean seem to support the same bands that I use here. It'll take a little longer to ship to me out in Japan, yet I am excited as well.
What would be the reason VoLte wouldn't work? Requires a specific LTE band in the country?
