I recently rebranded my MHA-L29C185 (Middle Eastern international) to a MHA-L29C636 in hope that I would get some further options in the settings for "preferred network type". Unfortunately the settings are the same and I don't get the option to choose 4G only like this L29C432 model.
Can anyone with the AL00 please check if this option is on this model? If so I'll rebrand to this instead.
Also, just out of curiosity, is there any other benefits to the AL00 over the L29C636?

Probably different 5g bands. You can't.

CSC Value cant be just XAA. It should be something like ***/***/XAA so give the correct CSC and also check the bands on which your Carrier is broadcasting 5G. Who is your carrier / servce provider, Sunrise?
You have to reset your CSC to your home provider in order to get 5G.
Try this: Goto Settings, then About Phone. Write down your IMEI number. Open the dialer and enter *#272*IMEInumber# then press Dial, you should see a screen with the list of available CSC codes for your device. Select the CSC for your carrier (hopefully it is listed) and then tap install. It should not do a factory reset but if you have important data, you might want to back up your phone first. Post if this works for you. This works in Canada if you buy a phone from one carrier and switch to another.

Are you sure your bands are effective for your country?
I believe the usa device's are Snapdragon based and the eu versions are Exynos.
Somewhere I've seen a message with this 'same' band problems due to this difference. I'm not sure if this is still a difference. Please compare band channels.
Hey all!
I know there was a lot of discussion about this in the early days of the note 20 ultra but I'm trying to find a straight forward answer to a simple question.
I'm based in the United Kingdom and have the Exynos variant of the note 20 ultra. If I was to switch to a Snapdragon international version which is best suited and had the following (if any)?
- dual SIM
- 5g (working with UK frequencies)
- unlocked bootloader
Thanks in advance for any help provided!
Until today I would have steered you away from the N9860 TGY from Hong Kong, but we now have the magic solution to unveiling 5G service (hopefully) for all networks with a quick dabble in the service menu.. Certainly the previously absent EE 5G is now present and correct. 3 and Vodafone were already supported. Not sure about O2.
It is dual SIM, if you don't mind losing the SD slot.
No idea about the bootloader. I'm not messing with it.
Firmware updates used to lag behind badly, but we have caught up finally, for now at least.
I haven't got any reason to complain now that it's fully functional and with big cost savings over the official UK stock.
I've no complaints over the Snapdragon N20 Ultra 5G I imported from Hong Kong via WondaMobile.
Signal is excellent and so is the optimisation over the Exynos version.
I don't use Samsung Pay so can't say if it works or not but Google Pay works as it should.
I'm on o2 Payg and they don't yet offer 5G to my type of contract and I also use Vodafone Payg but 5G isn't available where I am unfortunately.
Mine is dual sim 256gb version which was over £100 less than the UK version I sent back to Samsung UK.
I prefer not to root etc.
tdodd can you elaborate in regards what to do in the Service Menu to get 5G working. I've seen people use sim slot 2 that works for them or they change csc
You need to install the Google phone dialer and make it default.
Then copy/paste this string into the dialer....
*#*#276633683782#*#*
This will open the service menu, but not in the right place.
Press [5] RF TEST
Press [3] ANT TEST SETTING
Use the three dot menu at top right and press Back
The steps above will reveal the full set of menus.
Press [2] UE SETTING & INFO
Press [1] SETTING
Press [1] PROTOCOL
Press [4] GCF
Press [3] REMOVE ONLY NR WHITELIST
Use the three dot menu to press END
Reboot the phone.
This should allow 5G to function on all UK networks subject to contract and coverage restrictions.
There are some possible other optimisations through the service menu, but not required for unlocking 5G. See this thread from post 81. Earlier posts are a bit out of date.

Once you've made the changes and rebooted you can return to the Samsung dialer if you prefer. The Google dialer is just needed to get into the service menu.

Thank you for the walk through
Seems quite a slog to get faster download speeds for large files.
Think I'll stay with 4G and 4G + for the time being
Thanks to paolotheking and this thread about an important secret code for the Velvet and other devices:
LG Velvet Hidden Menu code
Enjoy: #*462633*#900# Works with G900EM
forum.xda-developers.com
I could finally activate the 5G network capability of my phone.
I have a Dutch (NLD) genuine SIM unlocked Velvet LM-G900EM with latest Android 11 v20d-EEA-XX installed.
If you hit with the phone dialpad this sequence:
#*462633*#900#
it will lead you to a hidden menu where you can find all sort of information and tweaking options.
You have to choose "Field Test", then "Modem settings". You will have here many things you can change. Go to "RAT Selection", it will give you many more options than the ones you find under the regular "Network settings".
I tested here first "LTE(5G NSA) Auto" and it instantly made the 5G icon appear in the task bar! So I then hit the "GSM/WCDMA/LTE(5G NSA) Auto" option. I now have up to 5G automatic network selection!
Only issue is that under the regular Network settings, "Preferred network" states now "26" and if I want to see what other options you have, it only lists the options up to 4G preferred and it will go back to 4G maximum. So you have to go through the hidden menu again to activate it.
I also tested that if you power off the phone, 5G maximum stays activated when you power on the phone again, good to know.
You may also try to tweak your 5G bands by selecting them in the corresponding menu "Band Selection" in the "Field Test", "Modem Settings". Some of them might not really work though, as it might be hardware related depending on your model.
Hopefully it can help people finally being able to use the 5G network of their provider with the Velvet, and possibly other LG 5G phones like the V50(S) V60, Wing. You just have to put your model number at the end of the secret code ...#900# for the Velvet, ...#510# for the V50S ...#100# for the Wing, aso, if I understood it good.
Edit: works for the LG Wing too, just tested it!

Where U buy this velvet LM-G900EM Unlocked.I need One.Am From India.I Searched eBay & amazon but this specific model not available There.
Hello,
I got this phone purchased from the USA and am using it in India. There are two prominent 5G providers here. Jio, which does not recognize my device as "True 5G", and Airtel, which says my device supports 5G but needs an update. The official Lenovo community guys have asked me to contact the place of purchase, which I can't.
What are my options? Will I be able to use 5G on this device in India?

Check what band requirements your carrier has for 5G.
Then on phone app dial pad enter
*#*#4636#*#*
Select "Phone information"
In the Phone info screen tap the 3 dots on upper right
Select the "Select Radio Band" and select as needed.
Hope that works. If not check your APN.
