Hi, first of all, this phone has been flashed to XtreStoLite ROM, which is based on a G900F firmware. Prior to this, the phone has been unlocked by the shop that the phone was bought. S5 G900L is a Korean model and is meant for the LG U+ network. The phone was able to pick up LTE signal in my country (Brunei).
The phone is unable to pick up LTE signals despite on the Network Mode option, there is an option to select LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode. Is there a code that I can use on the phone dialer so that I can activate LTE?
What I meant is something similar to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-activate-lte-g3-t2819387
I have tried to dial ##3282# but it does not do anything. I think it's only for the Sprint S5.
The same goes for:
To tell what Band on: ----
1. ##debug#
2. enter passcode 777468
3. go to LTE engineering menu

As for my next question:
When I flashed a stock G900L firmware from SamMobile, it won't read my SIM card, and it seems that I have to use a LG U+ SIM card from Korea first. How do I make the phone able to read my SIM card from Brunei?
Bump.

- As for secret code ##3282#: First, the secret code format of Samsung is *#xxxx#, not ##xxxx#. Second, to see ALL AVAILABLE secret codes in your device, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes'. That way you will know the code 3282 does exist or not.
- Regarding LTE signal, may be your phone does not have LTE bands that your network currently supports. To check for what LTE bands your phone has, enter *#2263# and select LTE Band Preference to see a list of supporting bands.
- If the required bands are missing, you may want to add it to your phone? Try this thread if any luck.

i have an italian Galaxy s4 i9505, stock rom, no root, nothing modded yet
it is an LTE version and, but i'm surprised that going in settings --> network mode i can't choose LTE, but i have just GSM and WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA auto connect.
anyway, where i live there is still no LTE network. could this depend on the SIMcard?
is that normal?

Yep, same on my Switzerland S4 (i9505)
You will require a LTE enabled sim card.
Whether you have a LTE sim or not you will see the option for LTE.
Your provider / carrier doesn't support LTE since the option was removed.
If you just want to see the option, grab another country/carrier firmware.

i have a no brand terminal, so i should be able to see the lte switch...
i'm surprised of this
i will flash a custom rom when i see one that i like, there are still too few
I also have an unbranded i9505 and didn't have the lte option, tried many different stock roms/modem/csc combinations, but it still didn't appear.
I changed some the lte pref mode setting from gsm_wcdma_only to gwl and still don't have the option. But my carrier activated lte yesterday in my area and i got a 4g signal, so even though i am not able to choose that in the settings it will connect regardless.
ok!
this is good to know, i hope i can try if it works soon
thanks!
Flash it with the uk btu firmware available from sammobile
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to select the check-box indicating this was a question. This feature cannot be edited after the fact hence the title modification.
The LG G2 (model: LG-D801 and LG-D803) are sold in Canada. The LG-D801 model is the same variant sold my T-Mobile (USA) but both models have identical specs. and have been crippled as for the agreement between LG and the specific mobile vendors. The LG-801 does have the LTE capability but being crippled, even if the device is "unlocked" with correct APN settings, the fastest speed received will be 4G. When you go into your network options, 4 modems should be present:
LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA/GSM (auto)
WCDMA (auto)
GSM (auto)
Unfortunately, the LG-D801 model has the LTE modem crippled and in order to enable, you must flash the appropriate carrier ROM and change the regional settings to reflect your LTE carrier otherwise the modem will not enable. I do know some have been lucky with LTE enabling but for the most part, this is not the case.
I know with Samsung Galaxy Note 3, there's a dial-pad sequence you enter to get into the CSC menu to change your carrier. I also know you can install any variant of ROM onto this device for model: SM-N900W8 and it will work.
My question are:
■ Can I install the Telus LG-D803 ROM onto my WIND LG-D801 device without bricking and if so, is there a good instructional guide on how to do so?
■ Is there a recovery program such as TWRP which I can install?
■ Once installed, the KEY point is whether or not anyone knows the regional dial-pad code? This will change the carrier settings to reflect the newly installed ROM so it will unlock the LTE modem and other options specific to the carrier.
Thank you!

Someone knows any effective methods to unlock sim?

Hey everyone.
I bought my G2 from an online retailer. It's from Europe I believe (D80220C?).
Here's my issue:
When I try to activate LTE in my mobile data menu the only selection is "GSM / WCDMA Auto". Even further, when I install a custom ROM I get the selection for LTE but it does not enter the LTE network. And further again, when I enter the 3845#*802# menu and select "LTE only" from the 'Hidden Menu -> LTE-Only -> Modem Settings -> RAT Selection' menus, I lose my network connectivity completely.
I know my SIM card works because I have an Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2lte) and they both enter the LTE network instantly.
I'm guessing that the problem has to do with the modem. Is it because it is a European device and has no LTE network support in Canada?
I have downloaded close to 10 different ROMs tonight and plan on finding one that suits me as well as try to find one that actually allows me to use the LTE network.
Thanks in advanced for anyone interested in helping me out with this issue.

This is impossible to answer without knowing who your network provider is. Some use different bands than others.
Virgin mobile. The bands are: 1700B4 2600B7, if they share the towers with Bell. My phone is capable of those bands.

Virgin Mobile, so basically Bell.
My guess is that it will be D803 HERE. If you have ROM on your device then check model name under settings->about phone. Should say D803, but it also may be wrong depending on the ROM you flashed.

Mine is the D802. I tried flashing a D803 Bell modem earlier today and that did not work. Had to restore EFS and restore ROM.
Edit: Pretty sure I just bricked my phone. Can't boot any rom now... this is ridiculous. I backed up my EFS and when I restore it does nothing.
Edit2: Nevermind, false alarm. That Bell modem is not going to work for me though. D802 doesn't like D803 basebands
Did you try D802 modem? If not then flash the D802 modems and see if you get a winner

That's the problem though. There is no Bell baseband for the D802, as the D802 is the Intl' phone
Is it possible to modify the baseband to include the frequencies of Bell's LTE network in Canada?
Hi guys, last night I trade in my S6 for S7.
That guy told me the phone is sim unlocked, I just need to manually adding APN and it will work. I am too stupid not to try with my sim.
I am in Malaysia, S7 variant should be G930F, but it's G930V, I tried two different carriers with manually input APN but the signal icon still blank with a cross:crying:
Besides, whenever I change network mode, it will revert to Global.
I can't select network operator too.
Is there any method to get it works with my local carrier? Flash rom from G930V to G930U or change IMEI will works?
flash "u" rom marshamallow..

Flash the "U" unlocked firmware on it. Looks like the phone is locked to Verizon. I would strongly recommend against changing the IMEI because that can add a lot of unnecessary complications.

Can I flash official nougat rom?
Any additional step or modification needed?
I see there are many firmware for different CSC such as XAA, TMK and etc. Which one is cleanest and works better for GSM network?
Currently on Verizon Offiicial Nougat 7.0 G930VVRU4BQC5
phones out of country with other networks, and att USA since note 2 came out.
I currently have s7 too and it travelled with me out of country as well no problems, I get 4g in most places, if not 3g until I can get to fast WiFi.
Ur carrier data bands must not be matching or phones damaged, in my expert opinion.
Once u put other carriers sim u either request carrier to send u apn via text msg where u just open it and it gives u option to save it.
Or the Sim itself will/should have those settings in it. And upon inserting sim then going to where apns are added, u may be able to select it.
A quick Google of bands of ur network can tell u, but I'm optimistic only a very few bands are missing off g930v/g935v
Edit: Yes Verizon phones work on gsm in global mode
There is another option in there LTE/GSM/UMTS
U will have to experiment between global or the one above mentioned, does the trick for me all the time
