This don't help op. But *#0011# works on my tmo sd version. *#32489# does not work.
*#0011# opens the LTE and CA side of the Service Mode to check LTE band and CA information.
*#2263# opens the service mode to let you change band preferences and see what LTE bands your phone is capable of.

Are you using a Verizon variant? If so, service mode is disabled sadly.

You are correct about *#0011# part but... *#2263# doesn't work on EXYNOS 955F international sim-free variant.

After getting into servicemode, do you know how to access the main menu in nougat? I tried "back" "Q" "back" "0000", but it doesn't work. I can't seem to find any information. I am actually with S7 (930U firmware on 930T) Thank you.
*#2683662# for the exynos variant, however, it may say not supported as is the case on my s8+ after a recent update.
On unlocked international SM-G950FD just two worked:
*#0011# giving menu:
Select STACK
STACK 1
STACK 2
*#2683662# giving menu:
Not supported
(nothing really to change)
I need to get to LTE & GMS bands. Can anyone help?
(and if possible CSC manu change, something like *#272*IMEI#)

I have a G920v and want to use it with ChinaTelecom that is the only CDMA carrier in China. I rooted the phone and unlock the LTE band 3 but still can't use 4G. I did much research and found Verizon would lock srlte by carriers_policy.xml in EFS or telehphony.db in /data/data. But I can't found these files in G920v. Anyone know how to do?

Yes. I read the thread and try following intro. It can enable LTE BAND 3 but can't make SRLTE works. The phones from VZW often limited using LTE by other CDMA carriers by a xml file named carriers_policy.xml. To find it, you must connect the phone to QPST and run the EFS explorer. It is placed in /policyman. But I can read any by EFS Explorer with my SM-920V. A error shows that the format of EFS partition can't be recognized.

What is QPST?
I am curious if the VZW S6 actually has the proper antenna and path for Band 3.
I'm sure the chipset has support, but it doesn't seem like there is a resource that specifies what the bands the phone actually can support.

I confirm Band 3 works. After following the post about Service Menu to unlock Band 3 I tested FDD LTE of ChinaUnicom and it worked well. But this carrier run a GSM network so I needn't do more than adding its APN. But for CDMA network, some other operations need to be done.

Thanks, I think it is crazy how there is seemingly no official resource that lists exactly what bands a phone could support. The FCC docs only show bands 13, 4, and 2. Who knows what LTE band capabilities a modern phone might support?

Can you clarify, to use LTE band 3 on a GSM based network, does anything need to be done to the phone (besides the APN)?
(after trying to use the HTC One M8 on Telstra LTE in AU didn't work, I was hoping the S6 would!)

If you can operate NV items by QXDM, To enable bands not listing in FCC isn't too difficult.

At first, you need following the post to enable HiddenMenu. In service menu you can find the place to enable some additional bands which include Band 3.

So basically, unless this phone is rooted, I won't have access to band 3?

In other words, bands listed here are actually fully supported by the device? My impression is that the chipset may supported the bands, but that doesn't mean there is an full RF transceiver and antenna path.
try this :
*#27663368378#
go to nas, and choose ur preferred network. reboot. if no signal, ##3282# go to bsr, tap the get lte file, tap until you got the signal and everything works.
Type ##3282# and you will find a option to enable the hiddenmenu. I have tested that 's not need to be rooted.
It's truth that enabling every band is impossible. But at least I know Band 1 and 3 are actually enabled. I tested to confirm it. Of course, there is some other operations to enable band 1, but it's not my purpose for this post.
Now I want to get help from someone to find a file like /efs/policyman/carriers_policy.xml in Sony Z3v and Moto Droid Turbo. It can be found by QPST EFS Explorer. But for G920V or G925V, EFS Explorer can't take effect.

Can you tell us how you get the band 3 working? If I go to service mode and if I want to activate band 3 the "*" never stays next to the band 3 line. I works for band 2,14,17, all line as well.
Thanks in advance
*** edit ***
running stock version AOC3
in service mode/UE SETTING MENU/STTING/SYSTEM/"LTE BAND ON/OFF" When I try to enable band 3 I get the message : "not support". When I try B4: I get the choice between enable and disable.
Do you run a newer version than me lostvangel? Did you enable LTE bands with the menu LTE BAND ON/OFF?

I've got a ChinaUnicom 4G sim card, but after one-week-long struggle,I still can not unlock FDD LTE of ChinaUnicom on my verizon S6. Could you share your knowledge about how to unlock band 3 for ChinaUnicom 4G? I will appreciate it very much!

That's wierd, it's the data programming menu for me. What rom are you on?
Stock Sprint rom. Got into LTE menu and when I click on LTE Band 5 it says Band 8 not supported lol
I got the Korean Telecom version and any country I go I can only get 3g. If I use 4g switcher and set to LTE only it does not connect.
Is there any way I can unlock LTE?
Answering my own question,
*#2683662# goes into the menu for service mode.
Then UE settings and infotmation, setting, protocol, nas, network control.
Here I can see band selection and band disable. Still figuring out what these do.

verify that you are in a location that gets a good signal and that it says you get 4g lte data. then goto connection settings>mobile networks and tap on network mode and choose the option in the screenshot. if it doesnt change do a factory reset. if that fails either get the stock rom from sammobile and flash it with odin or call samsung for a replacement. also verify that theres no upgrades or problems in your area by calling customer care and that your house doesnt limit your signal. my house sometimes limits mine due to it being metal all around. in that case putting your phone in a window fixes it. if you want to avoid that contact tmobile to get a signal booster for your house. update: in the *#2263# menu make sure to choose reset on both LTE and WCDMA in disable band.

This phone doesn't have certain bands asia uses. you may need to buy the sm-j327u (samsungs unlocked version of this phone that can work on cdma and gsm carriers.) the sm-j327t1 was designed for the united states.
to fix this problem install (Force Lte Only).apk from play store go to phone information>Network mode>Select WCDMA ONLY!
it will fix the problem as well as you'll have all option enable i the network mode!

Have you checked which bands your network supports against the bands your device supports?
You may have to open the network settings and modify the bands if possible.
Also which firmware are you running, you may need to flash the modem from the orange firmware?

Just got a S8+ from my brother and was having some troubles with it (can text/use data but not recieve/make calls) and found out that the cause was because the phone supported the 4G LTE band of my carrier but not the 3G band which is what my carrier uses for calls.
So how screwed am I? is there anything I can do to fix this?

If so I would get in contact with your provider and see if is compatible with there network frequencies. apart from changing providers I am not sure what you can do.
If I've done my research properly freedom mobile is Canadian region apparently there are to modes home and away have you tried the away mode

yes that is my phone
i think away might actually work really well, how would i force it to only use away/roaming?
okay this is weird, so i turned roaming on, connected to a different carriers network (rogers) and i can text and data fine but still cannot make or recieve calls on a AWAY network....? does this mean it shouldn't be a network band problem?
it shouldnt be my sim card as my sim card works fine on my older phone fine (s7E) and i JUST got it replaced my the warranty service (to fix this problem, which it didnt). It shouldn't be the phone either as my brother put his sim back in the phone and he can make calls fine....... what is wrong here?
IT WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
changing to rogers did not work (not sure why? maybe they use the same band is freedom)
however afterwards i changed to telus and i got calls!!
