I posted this message in the Q&A section but it doesn't seem like anyone knew the answer to it.
So on the GPe S4 I know it doesn't have band 7 or 2600 Mhz band. Seeing how this band is used for LTE-MAX, I'm trying to find information on how to add this band onto the phone. I figured the steps would be similiar, if not the same, as adding the AWS band onto the phone with the exception to the file used to flash the modem which would contain information regarding band 7 as opposed to the AWS band.
Maybe I didn't search correctly but, are there guides/ files out there that can enable this band?

I recently bought a brand new i9505 while on vacation and would like to use it on the Wind network here in Canada. Given that Wind uses AWS bands 1700/2100, the phone did not work out of the box. However, I read this thread that discusses unlocking AWS on i337 phones which have the same hardware as the i9505 (Qualcomm Processor and 4G). The fix didn't work on the i9505 given the difference in model numbers and the QCN files.
Can anyone help me get access to the correct QCN file for the i9505 to unlock these bands? or if you know of another way to unlock the bands, I would really appreciate your help.
Tried already. DIDNT work.

I have the same issue, got phone from 3 UK, i9505 and paplied the process you have in your link and now all other network modes disappeared.
I don't know how to fix it.
I have the exact same problem as the thread starter too. Got my i9505 from HK and would like to get it working on Wind Mobile/T-Mobile which uses 1700 for AWS. I read the same page about enabling AWS bands for AT&T s4 but the model number is different and the QCN file won't work.
Any helps are appreciated
bump for this, I'm in the same boat, any help would be appreciated. I did however, out of curiosity, try the instructions posted in the OP but it messed up my phones radio and couldnt recognize my bell SIM. Good thing i made a backup of my I9505 QCN before flashing the 337_AWS.qcn file, I was able to restore from the back up.

I've been researching this for a while all over the internet and been hearing mixed things at both ends of the spectrum as to whether it can work or not, if there is a concrete answer to this please post or pm me about it, in all honesty this is the main reason I joined the forum , it would help and i appreciate it greatly

I cannot find a QCN file to save my life for this. I have the nv writer reader program and it works perfectly to restore my IMEI. SaHiLzZ, do you have a file that would unlock ATT or TMobile bands? Or perhaps we can develop a guide of what NV items to modify to unlock bands? As far as I know it is a world edition phone and is compatible with all GSM and LTE frequencies. Mine makes calls on a SIM, but no data.

You can count me in on this.
I am also looking to enable AWS on my recently acquired S4 i9505.
Has anyone tried one of those many tutorials to unlock LTE band 4 on i9505? Sorry for bumping this, but I've found some traces here and there, but no confirmation
I tried it and nearly bricked the phone.
Hi, I bought the LG F320L, a very good phone, but I have the drawback of the bands. There´s someone that had unlocked the bands? If comeone can know how to do it, could you help me? thank you.
There is no way to unlock radio bands, the band your device is programmed for are the ones your stuck with I'm afraid, u could try flashing a new radio, but as I'm not sure what device the f320 even is, I doubt it will work, sorry

The F320L.K.S are supporting
GSM (850/900/1800/1900)
UMTS B1 B2 B5 (850/1900/2100)
LTE B1 B3 B7 (B8-B5) (900-850/1800/2100/2600)
Dial 5457#*320# and look for
WCDMA Band Selection to select whatever band you want (phone restart automatically)
LTE Band Selection (same thing).
then RAT Selection, select GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto.
Good luck.

One thing, in cm it doesn't work the code, so, if I do it in stock, it wouldn't save it. No?
I have a doubt, when I bricked my phone, I had to replace all the principal and damage files (the módem between them). If I replace this modem (in bin) with the 802 modem, it would fix it? And if I change all the files, my phone would convert into a 802?
Wrong section.
OP @pedromanzana
I have moved two of your thread posted / created in wrong sections earlier and now this third.
This is a gentle caution and next time it wont be the same
Thanks for the understanding
For Stock rom 5457#*320# & 3845#*320#
I'm using CloudyG2 3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-cloudyg2-t3006744) only the 3845#*320# works.
Hi guys,
I have a rooted SPH-L720 on NG2, and I am having the hardest time trying to find a way to lock it to a specific band. Instead of having it prefer band 25 (1900), I want it to prefer (or only connect to, either way works) band 26 (850). Anybody know of a way to do this? Or will I just have to upgrade to the S5 and follow these instructions (forums(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/samsung-galaxy-s5/380905-sprint-users-lte-manual-override.html)?
Thanks!
Hi.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 base model n9005XXUGPQB1 but i want support for LTE 4 AWS band (because the 4g company in my country works in that band).
I read about a modem firmware in Odin. But i don't have a lot of information (And i used the search but nothing it's clear).
Can you help me, please? I'm using right now Resurrection Remix according to this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p-nougat-holy-grail-hlte-rock-stable-t3630301
Thank you

Thank you for your links but i need a little more help.

Why not just activate the band 4 LTE in the service mode on your Note 3 SM N9005 ?
B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1), this frequency is used for North America as well as from South America.
It may be necessary to modify the feature/other.xml file in the CSC once the activation is done.
Because that mode don't work in Resurrection Remix. I'm trying to return to the stock firmware.
Okey. I activated the band with the *#0011#, back, input "Q0" in serviceMode. (Main Menu -> LTE -> LTE RF -> VZW LTE B4 on/off -> B4 Enable.
But my 4g is still don't working. If i search for "LTE favorite band" i saw a lot of bands except for Band 4.
Where is the problem? Thank you
