I live in Greece and currently my carrier doesn't support my phone for 5G.
I want to ask if I can enable it manualy by rooting my phone
Just ask yourself after thinking about that.... your PROVIDER does not support a feature you want. Does it really change anything if you do whatever change to your mobile?
Btw: OP 8T supports 5G by default. No need to root for that.
Carrier supports 5g but a stupid identification of the device doesn't let me use it
Hm.. in such case it might be possible if you can change device´s recognition to one that´s identified "correctly". I´m not sure but I assume I´ve got the same problem in Switzerland. Haven´t watched closely but I don´t remember seeing 5G in display already.
Years ago you could have changed device ID by changing build.prop. But afaik they changed that and I don´t know how to do nowadays.. Sorry, hopefully there´ll be anyone else helping you out.
If the issue is your carrier support bands that do not exist in your phones antennae then i do not believe you will find any relief with root.
Two things need to happen: 1st is that your provider's 5G bands are actively supported on the phone. 2nd is your provider needs to certify (that is allow) your phone to access 5G on their network. So then, if the bands are there then you need to contact your provider and somehow get them to allow your phone on their 5G network! I was using the 8T on AT&T and NO 5G...moved to T-Mobile and 5G was available the moment I inserted the SIM.
OP8T have 5G enabled only certain networks. In Greece not enabled by you can follow my blog guide to enable manually if you like: https://mt.ax/uLgc2 . There is also list of 5G enabled networks and bands.

I just got an unlocked Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) J327A from Amazon. This is an unlocked version of an AT&T prepaid phone. My T-Mobile SIM works OK with it. But: (1) VoLTE is not enabled, meaning T-Mobile will not work on 700 MHz Band 12 (which is the whole reason I got this phone, we don't have coverage here on any other band) and (2) wifi calling is greyed out and unavailable.
I had not realized there is more to switching between carriers than just "locked" or "unlocked", because there are different features beyond the basics that are either supported or not supported, and it turns out that having either VoLTE and/or Wifi Calling is pretty much essential for me now.
I'm an utter newbie regarding firmware mods. Is there any hope of changing the firmware on this model to enable VoLTE on T-Mobile and/or wifi calling on T-Mobile? A quick search of this forum only found complaints about seeing a "Wierd VoLTE icon" when they rooted their J327T phone. Which to me actually seems hopeful. The update guides I've seen all warn that firmware must be loaded only into the exact model number called out. Not sure if that means just "J327" or for example "J327x"
My question is: can you change an Unlocked J327A (supporting AT&T features) to a J327T (supporting T-Mobile features) by software tools? Or are there hardware differences, or at least serial-number-based locks to prevent that?
Would like to do the same thing, any luck?
will volte work out the box for TMobile ? They won't activate phones on their network after a while if they don't support VOLTE.... Or any plans to update it in the near future. When will this go on sale in North America?

I am currently on T-mo, it doesn't do VoLTE currently, I know its possible via root and changing parameters. ALSO they just enabled VoLTE for their ROG phone 3 via an update so I will assume they will probably do the same for the ZF7, if not I will have to root it.
I asked an asus rep about sale in NA and they didn't have an answer from marketing team, so I bought mine on eBay
I'm beginning to think they will sell in in america especially if they enable volte for TMobile like they did the rog 3. I'm waiting to see if they enable volte on the 6 and the 7.
And then there's the OnePlus 8T coming in going to weigh my optione

This guy apparently has VoLTE already on his phone, unsure how though.
Will this work on att in the states? Also which model if so?
ATT will ONLY work upto 3g. You will see an H on top the signal bar which indicates a Enhanced 3g speed also know as HSPA speed connection. I have tried 2 new sim cards. I have tried several APN's I have tried all updates and a reset. No 4G and no 5G on ATT. Unless someone can tell me something new, this phone will not FULLY work on ATT. Text works. Calls work. Internet is sort of hit and miss with decent signal but again rather slow.
T Mobile will ONLY work upto 4g. No Volte although it seems to have the capability of Volte it cant not work with Tmobile Volte because it seems the cell bands are not compatible. Text work. Internet works rather fast, Good solid signal however no 5G and no Volte due to incompatible cell bands.
I did research on this subject and found that the ATT cell bands for everything including 5G do seem to be compatible with the 7 pro but again, it does not FULLY work oddly
I also did research on Tmobile cell bands and the bands for 5G are not even close to being compatible. Volte is also non compatible. 4g is compatible and works..
THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE TODAY AS I PURCHASED A SIM FROM EACH PROVIDER ( THIS IS A DUAL SIM PHONE) AND PLACED THEM BOTH IN THE PHONE.. I DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH>>>
IF ANYONE CAN GET THE PHONE TO DO 4G or 5G ID APPRECIATE THAT INFO>>
ASUS NEEDS TO DO AN UPDAT FAST BEFORE PEOPLE START TO RETURN THIS DEVICE. THIS AGE IS ALL ABOUT 5 G.. THIS PHONE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH USA. I DO NOT SEE HOW AN UPDATE WILL FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THE PHONE IS ONLY PHYSICALLY CABLE OF A SPECIFIC SET OF BANDS WHICH ARE NOT NOT NOT THE SAME AS USA BANDS
Based on a long, annoying and useless conversation in a thread on Lenovo forum, it come out that Moto Edge will support 5G only on specific mobile operators, based on mutual tests between Moto and the operator (...).
Given the fact that now Edge 20 series has been released, there's almost no chance that Moto would ever enable 5G on every operator.
Does anybody know how to tweak/reprogram modem to activate 5G?
I can guarantee that the phone is 5G capable: in a location where 5G is available, I used the SIM of mine and the one from another operator, resulting in mine not connecting to 5G at all although it's enabled in my mobile plan.
thanks in advance for any suggestion may come
So I got the OnePlus 8 on T-Mobile and I'm thinking about switching it to the global version ROM. I'm not unlock yet or anything like that but I haven't got to that point.
So what I'm asking is I'm currently on US Mobile with a Verizon 5G Sim now I can force it to go and add the 5G radio to the radio's list and I will get the 5G banner in the right hand corner but really it's LTE advance.
I found a web page and file on the internet that talked about editing the carrier policy to include all the different carrier signal aggregations and such and to make the phone see all the possible ways to connect. Since this is a T-Mobile version it doesn't connect to Verizon's 5G towers but all the OnePlus 8s are the exact same and have the same modems and such so when you change that carrier policy you basically make it see Verizon's non-standal on 5G towers and it'll connect to them because it's on the same bands in my area. That's my question
Do I need to do the carrier policy edit to get actual 5G non standalone service on this phone or can I just simply switch this phone over to the OnePlus 8 global version of the ROM and will it automatically pick up Verizon 5G towers like it would with the unlocked version?
Did u found anything about carrier change etc?
we have 6a from the USA, used in another county. it works only on 4G with No VOLTE, so we face a lot of drop call as it drops to 2G.
tried to change to sitting, but nothing.
do anyone have fix for it?
Try testing a SIM card from a different provider. If it works, then it's a carrier issue.
Otherwise then you may need to reset the network settings, or try roaming on other networks see if you can activate VoLTE.
May I ask which carrier are you on right now? Also are you roaming or do you have a sim card from that said carrier?
For your case, If you are using your American model Pixel 6a in another country, you can just convert it to the model which is sold in your country, to get perfect network and localisation support.
Please refer to Ziand's thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/converting-japanese-pixel-6-to-global-version.4365275/
For which model you're converting to, refer to google https://pixel.withgoogle.com/5G/
I have successully converted my Japanese model to an international model, but please be aware of the risk of bricking your phone when you are doing this.
