Hello,
I got Motorola MOTO G X1034 (on the battery when connected to PC it says X1032) form the USA - here is the offer: http://www.sears.com/consumer-cellu...martphone-black/p-00333272000P?adCell=REC_1_0
It was locked to Consumer Cellular - an AT&T company and I was able to unlock it with unlock code.
But when I try to use it in my country Bulgaria with my carrier Mtel the mobile Internet is only connected on EDGE and not on 3G or UMTS.
Anyone knows why is this happening and how to fix it. Can I flash some European radio or something ?
P.S. So far a was able to unlock bootloader - flash custom recovery and root the phone.
so nobody knows anything about this ?!?!?!
ok another question - I saw that there is a secret menu (*#*#4636#*#*) that allows you to change default network from 2G to 3G and vice versa, but in my phone this menu is missing (disabled from the provider I guess).
So my question is if I flash some other ROM will the menu appear ?
thanks
Which bands does your carrier use?
My guess is your carrier uses different bands then the phone has, or all that exists is a 2G band in your area which you would want to check with your carrier.
yes I think this is the problem my carrier uses 2100 mhz for UMTS but the phone is not supporting it - is there a way to flash new radio or to enable this frequency ?
I bought an Unlocked Canadian S6 recently, and it just won't let me connect to the LTE network.
Model Numer : SM-G920W8
Android Version : 5.0.2
Baseband : G920W8VLU1AOCG
Connecting to the LTE is not even an option. When I go in the Network Options, I get the choice between :
-WDCMA/GSM (auto connect)
- WDCMA only
- GSM only
I know for a fact that I am in the coverage zone, so no need to ask that silly question
I've tried different SIM cards, played in the options a bit, and factory reset the phone about 5 times now, yet nothing seems to work.
Also, when I try to do the update, it just reboots and gives me an Android logo and a failed Icon
I've only seen one other post like this from a carrier's support website, but no solutions were found.
**Update : For a reason, after a recovery, it will connect to the LTE for a bit or until next boot, then go back to what it is now.
First question, who did you buy the phone from? Second, Is it second hand? By default, Wind mobile does not allow the LTE option to be displayed in system settings as they as a carrier don't have LTE. It is blocked by the CSC setting for the carrier. As for other carriers It should leave you the option to connect in settings where you say it is not. If it is a Wind phone, You would need to change the CSC to enable the LTE selection. There is a method to force LTE even without option in settings, but I think it is removed in the latest firmware. Try dialing *#2263# in the dialer. It may bring you to menu that will allow you to select LTE. This is not a permanent method though as it will need to be done every boot. The other way, (If you are in fact a Wind/Mobilicity phone) is to enter dialer and enter *#272*IMEI# with IMEI being your devices unique code. If at all possible, take a full nand and Titanium Backup before doing this and be sure to transfer everything off the phone to a PC. This method wipes everything and I mean everything off the phone buy is a surefire way to enable LTE.
Yes, it was second hand. I didn't ask who was his carrier simply because it was unlocked.
I'll try it tomorrow, thanks for the information
Here is the menu you will see when you type the *#272*imei# code into your dialer. The codes are the carrier names. Mine which is GLW is Wind, BMC is Bell, RWC is Rogers, etc.
Maybe there is no LTE in your area...

It would still be visible in the Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode menu which it is not. His problem is more than that.

Sweet! It works :good: Thanks man
Now, would you have any ideas on why the update won't work? I didn't get much into it yet, but I will soon.
I'm not sure why it wouldn't update, but now that you have changed the CSC you can download the update and flash with Odin. Pick your carrier and go to town. The guy running the following thread runs his own firmware host. He's got amazing DL speeds. Usually takes me 6 or so minutes to do the 1.6gb file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3086387
I'm having the same issue.

Connected with someone selling a G920W8 version. LTE is disabled and the codes aren't working. Can you reaffirm which unlock code worked for you? I'm on Fido, what LTE network are you using?
hi BCSC
Thanks for the details. I searched complete net and read all articles but nothing set me up with the proper thing. i read your solution i dialled *#2263# and all i got is service mode and in that i went to band selection , LTE and the all ....... Yes and its showing LTE in mobile data. THanks so much.
But now another issue, network is showing perfect but no outgoing and incoming calls.
in incoming its showing busy and on outgoing its not connecting to another phone.
And, Lte is not showing in mobile networks, There only 3 options still are showing.
Mine is same Wind S6 but i had to use in India.
Let Me know
Thanks once again
Cheeerzzzzz

Picking LTE from the service mode will note make it visible from the settings menu. Its more of a workarpund instead of a way of permanently enabling it. As for the issue of no out/in calls, my best guess is that it could be due to which LTE bands are being used or are available in India. Unfortunatly I have no way to test that option. I only was successful in getting the Wind LTE option on Canadian carriers.

Forgive me if this has been covered but I havn't found the answer. I've flashed just about every phone I've ever had but my question here is can I / how do I flash to where the phone reads as XAA in download Mode?
The situation is my phone was originally on at&t. They unlocked it and I'm on Verizon. It all works great (it still says at&t on download Mode screen)
My problem is that if I log into the my Verizon app it disables my visual voicemail. I finally got a Verizon tech on the phone that explained that it is unsupported due to originally being on a different carrier and their system identifies that and disables the VVM. The only fix I can find is to put my sim in my backup S9+ that came from Samsung unlocked (or any Verizon phone) and I can then reactivate my VVM by resubscribing.
I currently have 3 Note 20 Ultras. One Each originally from Samsung, ATT and Verizon but the AT&T is the only one that is 512GB or I would just switch phones. I have flashed them all to U1 firmware but notice they all still reflect the original carrier in Download Mode so again my question is can I change this by flashing it / or is it just a matter of what sim card is in it when it's flashed? I need it to be seen as XAA by Verizon system so not to loose VVM... Pics attached.
Any advice here is greatly appreciated in advance.
Just a try... You can try the *#272*imei# method... But thats If it works. Not sure if the sims has to be in the phone for that to work.

Yes it brings up this menu... So I just select the XAA and that's it? I've been reading forums and this method is reversible it seems ... I'm familiar with Odin and all that but these hidden menus are new to me...
Thanks for the reply btw
You may have to activate the bottom most option to stay.
Don't worry if you can't access the menu after the change. You can download samsung band selection and change to automatic or one of the lte options then back to automatic to get to the menu.
CSC Guide
CSC (which I think means Carrier Service Code) helps to set what options for settings show in the device for things like voicemail and wifi calling, as well as sets network code information for things like carrier aggregation combos.
When you go to your phone settings->about phone->software information and look in the Service Provider SW ver. section, you will see as the last line a combo like XXX/YYY/ZZZ. This indicates what carrier sales and network code is set and what brand the phone was manufactured as.
I think of the XXX/YYY/ZZZ configuration as follows
XXX=Sales Code-What kind of features are setup in the firmware like wifi calling, video calling and settings menus
YYY=Network Code-What kind of network features are set for things like carrier aggregation and LTE/5G bands
ZZZ=Manufactured as Code- What model the phone was originally manufactured as. Ot has no affect on the system settings or options. THIS CAN NOT CHANGE. IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE SAME. ONLY A ROOTED PHONE WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE FILES NECESSARY TO CHANGE THIS.
for more details, refer to post:-

Hello All, Many people have asked about service mode and CSC related questions and I thought we should get a discussion going that is all in one place. *DISCLAIMER* I do not take any responsibility for any issues that may occur from changing...

I've flashed the XAC firmware to my old S7, but there was no "LTE only" mode in the connection settings, and putting my AT&T SIM card in this phone caused my phone number to get suspended because the phone "wouldn't work on our network".
Have you found a firmware that works with AT&T/LTE only mode/VoLTE?
My S10e will not connect to 4G, only 3G even though connection is set to 4G/3G/2G auto (only option I have). Wondering if its because it’s a Verizon branded phone (unlocked) on the ATT network (Through a reseller). Thinking of trying AT&T firmware. The CSC is VZW/XAA/VZW - do I need to change that prior to flashing?
