Good afternoon,
(ROGERS only) Thx to redpoint73 for pointing it out.
I've been seeing a lot of people wondering if LTE can be toggled off. In fact you can do it manually within the service menu.
To access the Service Menu from your HOX go to your dialer press
*#*#4636#*#*
This will bring up a selection of 4 choices. The one that were interested in is the first one called "Phone information", select it.
If you scroll down gently and go to the section called "Set Preferred network type" this will allow you to select the network type you want. In this case it should currently be set to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto" which enabled the LTE by default. Since I wanted to simply be on the most available Network (4G) I selected WCDMA preferred.
There you have it I've now toggle LTE off entirely.
Cheers!
It should be noted that this only works on the Rogers version. AT&T has their One X locked to "auto".

I unlocked my AT&T One X, and it appears I now have the ability to select which band. I have a T-Mobile sim in it now, and when I selected "LTE Only", I don't get service and can't make calls(obviously).
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.

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
Hello,
I have a LG V50 5G - version LM-V500EM, Android 11, SW version V30b-EEA-XX. I guess it's the Korean version - it has on the back the 5G logo and the pins for the second display at the bottom.
Also, I have a 5G subscription on Orange carrier, in Romania.
So I have a few questions about the LG V50 :
1. Should there be a 5G option in the Settings menu -> Internet and network -> Mobile network ? I'm asking this because on different phones, even LG ones, there is a option for 5G. An example is LG Velvet 5G, which has 5G auto option in the Mobile network menu. Or because the phone (LG V50 5G) supports only the 5G NR N78 band, there is no option. In contrast, because the LG Velvet supports multiple 5G bands, it has the 5G option ?
2. How do I know when the phone connects to a 5G mobile network ? Or to any type of mobile network ? I only see the mobile signal strength in the top right corner, but no additional information. On other type of phones, even LG ones, you see 5G, 4G, 3G, VoLTE etc. Is there a way to enable, to be shown like this ? I know I can see the type of connection if I go to settings, but I wanna see it on the main screen.
3. This is related to the 2nd question - When the phone connects to a 5G network, does the logo on the back do something ? Like intermittent flash with red color ? I see that when I receive a notification, the 5G logo flashes in blue color
I attached some pictures, to better understand what I'm saying. Unfortunately, the menu is in Romanian and so are the pictures but you get the point.
Hi, in Poland on my V500N I have like this:
Thanks for the reply, guess there is a SW problem with mine.
Still, I managed to activate the 5G using the secret menu code *#546368#*500# and the following path :
Field Test -> Modem Settings -> RAT Selection and selected from there the option that contains 5G NSA. The only dilemma was that there were 2 options that contained the naming and surprisingly both of them worked for me (I observed no difference between them).
By the way, so you have the 5G logo on the back ? If yes, when it's connected to a 5G network, does it stay lighted in red color ?
I have this logo, but my operator does not support 5G for now.
I am in Orange, but in the Orange sub-brand for young people - NJU and so far there is no 5G for this brand. Besides, I don't care too much.
If the phone connects to 5G - you will have the sign 5G instead of LTE on top bar of screen.
As far as I know, the logo on the back will have some color - red or orange ...
I have the 5G sign in the top right corner but I also wanted to see it in red on the back, as in the launch video. I thought that it's somewhat "fake positive" if it doesn't also light red when the 5G appears on the screen.
Thanks so much for the response and have a nice day !
I have LG velvet 4g dual sim LM-G910EMW, is there any way to enable volte for use on t-mobile?
im having the same problem with my carrier (simple mobile). they are saying my LG Velvet 5g is not compatible with their network upgrade to VOLTE. The specs for my model, do indeed show that it is compatible. They keep trying to get me to "upgrade" to a new phone. Whats going on here?
So I followed the below directions from reddit and it worked great and I now have Volte, however phone still drops to 3g when it makes a call any thoughts on how to fix that?
There is a way to force enable VoLTE on the "LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim" specifically your version which is the "LM-G910EMW".
By default the feature is disabled on this model variant for who knows why.
Follow the steps below: 1. Click on the "Phone" app and dial "##4636##" -If done correctly it'll automatically bring you to the "testing" settings menu.
Click on "Phone Information" -you should see a list of VoLTE settings however by default they are disabled and greyed out but don't worry there's a way to reactivate VoLTE. (You Will Come Back to this Menu later)
Go to your file app and create a file named "enable_ue" -thats all you need to do just create the file, nothing more nothing less.
Go back to the "Phone" App and dial "#*462633*#910#" -This code is specific to the variant and will not work on other non LM-G910EMW Phones. Dialing this should bring up the "Hidden LG Menu"
Select Field Test>Universal Enabler>Create New Config -a menu with check boxes for VoLTE options appearing
Select the boxes as follows "VoLTE" "ViLTE" "VoWifi" "ViWifi" And finally hit "Confirm" -a prompt will appear stating "Vo Services Updated"
Immediately restart your phone to allow the settings to kick in
After your phone has restarted go into your Settings>Network & Internet>Mobile Networks -If done correctly the VoLTE option will now be unlocked and available.
Switch on the "VoLTE"
Now to double check that your phone now truly has VoLTE enabled, repeat steps 1-2. If done correctly the menu should now say "VoLTE Provisioned Video Calling Provisioned Wifi Calling Provisioned " -if these 3 are all switched on then you have successfully force enabled VoLTE on your LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim LM-G910EMW, congratulations!
Sorry I'm not so good, can you help me please regarding this:
Go to your file app and create a file named "enable_ue" -thats all you need to do just create the file, nothing more nothing less.
I would like to know how to create this file, as I think I didn't do the job so I'm block when I enter Unviersal Enabler, it say: not supported
Thanks in advance for your help
In the upper right of your file manager there should ne three dots, click on that and it will show new folder, new file, etc.
Some file managers do not have a new file option so you may have to download a different file manager. I used 3c as my file manager.
Hi,
Can you please share the path where we need to add the file name as "enable_ue" and it will be 0 byte file right?
I just added it to the main storage and yes it was 0 byte
Will this work on the 900TM variant? I used 900 instead of 910 to get the hidden menu and it came up but i can't seem to get the volte button to enable in the menus.
If you have one variant of a Qualcomm LG Velvet can you turn on VOLTE by selecting the stock firmware for a different Velvet variant? Basically I wondere if an lmg900tm can be turned into an lmg900um. [NOTE: upon further investigation, the VOLTE feature may depend more on the SIM card and not on the firmware. There is an explanation here from Quora.com:
Is VoLTE activation dependent on the SIM card or just on the device model and the operator?
The phone has to be VoLTE compatible, that is the hardware itself must be able to handle VoLTE in terms of what it implies: band, frequencies and so on.
Then, the phone has to be provisioned to operate with VoLTE, in simple terms that means that the phone must be enabled or allowed to work with VoLTE, this is done wither by the manufacturer or by the operator. There are phones that even while they are VoLTE capable, the manufacturer of the operator won’t provision them to use VoLTE. One such case are the Google Pixel phones that are perfectly capable of VoLTE. but, if you insert a SIM card of a country where Pixels are not officially sold and supported, then Google has the phone set to disable VoLTE (and 5G as well).
Then, the SIM used in that VoLTE capable phone and VoLTE provisioned phone has to be of the right version. Some operators won’t provide VoLTE service if you don’t have a SIM with a minimum version (and thus SIM firmware and configuration).
Lastly, you have to be physically present on the network that has VoLTE capabilities. You could have all of the above, but, if you are in the middle of a desert or in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, probably VoLTE is not going to work…and neither 4G or 5G…
Is VoLTE activation dependent on the SIM card or just on the device model and the operator?
Answer: VoLTE activation is controlled by the device depending on the SIM and network operator. Of course the phone has to be VoLTE capable in the first place. Each device has an internal database that uses one or more of the SIM files as key to retrieve various parameters about the operator own...
www.quora.com
There you have it, that is pretty much in simple terms, what is needed to enjoy VoLTE with your smartphone.
***Tested on S908U & S908U1***
But not limited, to those specific models. S22 Family should also be compatible as well...as the NEW FOLD 4. Thanks @Abaddon
BAND SELECTION:
To ENABLE all bands, please do the following:
(See pictures attached for context)
Step 1. Go to Samsung Dialer......dial * # 73 #
Step 2. You should see ServiceMode > RF TEST.....choose Option 1: Band Selection
Step 3. Here is the part where you might be different from the rest, like I am. I use dual-sim. Now depending on who you use as your main service provider, in my case VZW. I know that VZW is my esim and also known as SIM 2. Here if I wanted to enable all bands for VZW, I would choose Option 2 and if I wanted to choose my other provider, TMB, I would choose Option 1. Those that don't have dual sim will normally just have one option which will be SIM 1. If that's you, just press SIM 1 and continue.....
Step 4. Now you've made it to the most important step here. Enabling the Bands.
As tempting as it might be. If you don't know what anything does. Don't press it. And if you accidentally press something by mistake. Restart your phone ASAP and start over. Trust me when I say, I've tested everything here. I have. That's no lie or joke. Because of my testing in the Service Menu....I disabled my radio for two days until I figured out how to get it back thru various tips and tricks from multiple guides and sites. So, please if you wanna be brave, do it on your time and don't come to community to ask for help off of something you did. The community is here for those who have actual problems not people who have problems because stupidity and pure ignorance. Now back to the last step.....
Step 4 (continued)
Here, you may or may not have the same check marks as I but in the end its not going to matter.
Start by pressing Option 7: Clear ALL Bands.....I normally press it twice just to be sure.
And when pressed, the check marks should disappear. Now you may or may not have this option checked after everything was already unchecked but...Option A (Block Set By AP)...should be left unchecked. Like in the picture I've attached.
Now press Option 8 (twice) this is where I discovered that the second time you push something.....it added more. Try it. Watch what it does the first time you press Option 8....then watch again when u press it the second time.
Now you should see check marks back up where they have disappeared.
Press Option 9: Apply Band Configuration.
You'll now see APPLY DONE
Go to three dots in the top right corner.....press KEY INPUT
Youll see a little screen.....tap on the line and type " 0 " (zero)...hit Ok and you should be golden....
I do this frequently because I flash my S908U constantly testing different things I see....testing possible exploits. To my knowledge a restart shouldn't reset these settings but if they do. It shouldn't take but a few seconds to re-enable everything again. I can do this without looking at my phone now because of how many times I've flashed this S908U. So good luck and if anyone has any input, sees any mistakes or wants to add to this guide shoot me a DM and let me know.
***CSC CHANGE***
Active on current BETA 1, BETA 2, AVHB, and all previous months up to MAY.
Tested and Re-Tested on S908U & S908U1.
As it stands S22 Family is compatible. If you do not get desired results, read thru the thread to find your answer and for troubleshooting (*Currently away on business, limited to answering posts and DMs)
To Change your CSC, do the following,
1. Go to SamFw.com (it's a reputable Samsung firmware site)
2. Look for the SamFW FRP Tool v3.1 (don't worry about the FRP thing, you are not going to use it)
3.Download and extract, Run as Admin
4.Connect phone and the app should read it. Should say Samsung modem (COM___) >>> Left a blank on the COM because everyone is different, depending on what port you connect the phone.
5. To be sure everything is ready to run well, there's a tab labeled ADB. Click it and inside there's an option for INFO, click that and it will read your phone and display you're phone's vitals.
6. After you're done, go to the tab labeled TEST. Inside you'll see various options. The last one being Change your CSC and a blank box.
7. Here is where you have to do a little research for now. ( I'll update what CSCs are inside when I get home in 2 weeks) S908U had one set of CSCs and S908U1 has a larger one. Depending on what you want, figure out first if your firmware has that specific CSC. (For example, if you have S908U VZW completely stock and you want to change it to a CSC that's foreign, for instance like XXV or INS, you're out of luck, it won't happen.) So do you're research. There's a thread here on XDA that can give you that knowledge without leaving the site.
**EDIT** 9-4-22
PLEASE refer yourselves to this post and thread to see what possible CSCs are in your firmware. Many thanks to @yakapa40 for all the information and because of this thread....gave me inspiration to find out more about CSCs...Bands....etc. Make sure to give him a thumbs up.

8. In the blank box, type the new CSC you would like to use. When changing the CSC there's many things that can change. Your boot screen and certain carrier apps will be removed and/or added. Also if you, for instance are like me and use Verizon as your carrier, you will lose Verizon Visual voicemail and other certain "carrier bands" but there's a fix for that, read thru the thread carefully.
9. Follow the prompts and do what the app says. When it's complete, your phone will restart and you may or not be greeted with a new boot screen depending on what you chose.)
10. To check if everything went well, go to Settings....About Phone.... Software Information and look at the Service Provider. You will see your new CSC displayed. The last CSC should be your carrier CSC. That you can't change without ROOT. So don't worry about it. Now you're done. Enjoy! For any troubleshooting please go thru the thread and read or do a search. Please don't clog up the thread if you choose not to read and ask the same question over and over. The community is already flooded with many people doing the same thing over and over. You don't need to add to it. And if you have a specific issue, please send me a DM and I'll see where I can help you out when I have time.

Unlocked T-mobile U device here and typing *#73 or *#73# followed by the green dial button shows as "Non-existing short code"
Sharing my exp.
I have a u1 unlocked device bought from samsung us website.
I was on TMo but the code does not work, so I clean flashed the vzw firmware with data from odin then used the samfw tool to unlock all secret codes then tested if its working then switched my csc to gcf, tried the code and it still works. Now I'm happy to use 5G outside the U.S.
Thanks again for the help and tips via dm
when dialing *#73# i am getting error connection problem or invalid MMI code
It must be go to service menu right after you dial # but nothings happen. You dont need to press green dial button.

That's odd. You have a T-Mobile S22 Ultra variant. *#73# should work without any problem. And I'm guessing your on this month's current firmware?

I can switch my CSC to TMB right now and *#73# comes up right away. Would you be opposed into trying something else...like changing your CSC?
wr3cckl3ss1 said:

Click to collapse
So you have a S908E. This method has only been tested on S908U and S908U1 models.
Echoing what @Abaddon said, if the *#73# code doesn't work for you, you can enable the code by switching to VZW CSC first then using SamFW FRP tool to unlock secret codes, then you can switch back to XAA or any other CSC with FRP tool and the code will still work.
So basically, the steps to enable secret codes are:
Start on XAA (or VZW) U1 firmware and enable debugging in Developer menu.
Use SamFW FRP tool to change to VZW CSC if you're on XAA or other CSC. Phone will reboot.
Using SamFW FRP tool, go to MTP -> Enable Secret Code for VZW.
Now you should be able to use *#73# for RF test, or any other secret code (like *#27663368378#* to go directly to service menu).
Switch back to XAA CSC using SamFW FRP tool if needed, and make sure *#73# is still working.
Though, I couldn't get all bands enabled even with having access to this code and following OP's instructions. The bands were still limited to XAA bands, even after pressing Enable twice. However, I was able to enable ALL 5G bands, including mmWave, by using the service menu (credits to this post). You can try these instructions if OP's instructions didn't unlock all bands for you:
Enter the service menu. There's a couple of ways to do this.
Open dialer and enter *#27663368378# to get directly into the service mode main menu.
Open dialer and enter *#73# (OP's code) to get into RF Test mode. Press Band Selection. Press three dots on top right -> Back. Repeat three dots -> back three more times until you get to the service mode main menu.
Use the service mode to set the following options. Note you can go back between screens with three dots -> back for quicker navigation, but I am just starting each option below from the main menu so it's easy to read.
Enable all LTE and 5G bands.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> SYSTEM -> Next page 4 times -> SET LTE BAND CONFIG -> SET DEFAULT LTE BAND.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G PRUNE STATUS -> REMOVE NR5G PRUNE.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> GCF -> REMOVE ONLY NR WHITELIST.
Optional if you need to enable mmWave bands too: Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> Sub6/mmWave -> ALL ENABLE.
Optional if you have issues going from LTE to LTE+ (carrier aggregation not working properly): Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> AS -> Next Page -> DISABLE CA COMBO CHECK -> DISABLE ON.
Enable 5G NR features (DSS & CDRX) if needed. These options might already be enabled for you by default.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> AS -> Next Page -> NR CDRX CONTROL -> NR CDRX ENABLE. NR CDRX is 5G power saving mode.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> AS -> Next Page 2 times -> NR DSS CONTROL -> NR DSS ENABLE. NR DSS is 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing.
Enable 5G SA if you're lucky enough to live in a country with standalone 5G networks. This option might be enabled by default already.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control -> SA/NSA ENABLE.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control -> Remove SA permit list.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> Next Page -> NR5G NRDC -> NRDC ENABLE. NRDC is for dual connectivity with Sub6 + mmWave bands in parallel. Only applies to 5G SA networks.
Restart your phone, then dial *#73# to get into RF Test Mode. Click Band Selection -> Sim 1 or 2 (whichever you use). On this screen if you scroll down, you'll see a list of enabled NR5G bands like in OP's picture. Make sure all bands are enabled. See my picture below, or OP's picture above (OP's picture is only missing four mmWave bands).
Note that band selection won't be reset with a reboot, but might be reset after a CSC update (or a software update that includes a CSC update). You will have to re-do the settings every update.
This worked for me on XAA firmware to enable 5G in Canada on my S22U. In fact, I was even able to update to One UI 5.0 using the adb sideload method since I was on XAA firmware, and then I repeated the steps above to enable all 5G bands on the beta (secret codes still worked after beta update, but bands got reset after update). So now I have 5G on One UI 5.0 beta in Canada! The trifecta!
Thank you very much @wr3cckl3ss1 for the instructions above, @Abaddon for the key information about VZW firmware needded to unlock secret codes, and @mellojosh for the service menu instructions to change bands.

However, I was able to enable ALL 5G bands, including mmWave, by using the service menu (credits to this post). You can try these instructions if OP's instructions didn't unlock all bands for you:
Enter the service menu. There's a couple of ways to do this.
Open dialer and enter *#27663368378# to get directly into the service mode main menu.
Open dialer and enter *#73# (OP's code) to get into RF Test mode. Press Band Selection. Press three dots on top right -> Back. Repeat three dots -> back three more times until you get to the service mode main menu.
Use the service mode to set the following options. Note you can go back between screens with three dots -> back for quicker navigation, but I am just starting each option below from the main menu so it's easy to read.
Enable all LTE and 5G bands.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> SYSTEM -> Next page 4 times -> SET LTE BAND CONFIG -> SET DEFAULT LTE BAND.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G PRUNE STATUS -> REMOVE NR5G PRUNE.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> GCF -> REMOVE ONLY NR WHITELIST.
Optional if you need to enable mmWave bands too: Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> Sub6/mmWave -> ALL ENABLE.
Enable 5G NR features (DSS & CDRX) if needed. These options might already be enabled for you by default.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> AS -> Next Page -> NR CDRX CONTROL -> NR CDRX ENABLE. NR CDRX is 5G power saving mode.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> AS -> Next Page 2 times -> NR DSS CONTROL -> NR DSS ENABLE. NR DSS is 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing.
Enable 5G SA if you're lucky enough to live in a country with standalone 5G networks. This option might be enabled by default already.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control -> SA/NSA ENABLE.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control -> Remove SA permit list.
Service Mode Main Menu -> UE SETTING & INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> Next Page -> NR5G NRDC -> NRDC ENABLE. NRDC is for dual connectivity with Sub6 + mmWave bands in parallel. Only applies to 5G SA networks.
Restart your phone, then dial *#73# to get into RF Test Mode. Click Band Selection -> Sim 1 or 2 (whichever you use). On this screen if you scroll down, you'll see a list of enabled NR5G bands like in OP's picture. Make sure all bands are enabled. See my picture below, or OP's picture above (OP's picture is only missing four mmWave bands).
This worked for me on XAA firmware to enable 5G in Canada on my S22U. In fact, I was even able to update to One UI 5.0 using the adb sideload method since I was on XAA firmware, and then I repeated the steps above to enable all 5G bands on the beta (secret codes still worked after beta update, but bands got reset after update). So now I have 5G on One UI 5.0 beta in Canada! The trifecta!
Thank you very much @wr3cckl3ss1 for the instructions above, @Abaddon for the key information about VZW firmware needded to unlock secret codes, and @mellojosh for the service menu instructions to change bands.

Wow this is a way more cleaner guide than mine. Props to you bro. Wanna make mine cleaner and also add yours...or just make a more precise one with both info added in? Not opposed to it at all. One thing I can add is that, even though the SamFW app says ENABLE VERIZON SECRET CODE.....I'm sure that it works on others besides Verizon.
To be honest, I'm kind of shocked that there's not many people who don't know about SamFW's app. I'll be the first to say that when I saw FRP tool. It steered me away. I am a million percent against any sort of theft or any kind of fraud but for the sake of research and because it's my phone. I tried it anyways and found out it's capabilities. Now I will tell you this. Even though it's a very good app. It's only a matter of time before Samsung patches this and the app is rendered useless. It may or may not happen. Just trying to let everyone know. I'm no expert and/or DEV. I'm just an average guy that likes to mess around with phones.

Thanks! I was just trying to add more info, didn't want to replace your guide.
Regarding VZW secret code, have you tried to enable secret code with FRP tool on other CSC before? Because I was on XAA, and tried but the tool got stuck on "Waiting for DIAG". I tried multiple times and it didn't work. When I changed to VZW CSC and tried again, it worked perfectly the first time and codes were still enabled even after changing CSC again. So I was thinking VZW CSC specifically has some code that FRP tool uses which ends up changing some NVRAM parameter to enable secret codes, and other CSCs don't touch this parameter (so it ends up staying that way even when switching CSC). Just guessing.

So...this so called part that says it's enabling DIAG mode is nothing more than just changing your USB connection (to my knowledge). I can change that without the app using a different dialer code (see pic attached). Send me a DM and I'll explain more. Don't need a bunch of fools trying this stuff and then complaining or crying.
