I am in Pakistan and using Warid carrier which has LTE Band 3 - 1800. I have bought a used Samsung Rooted N9005 BTU (UK) which is I believe supports the my carrier band . The stock rom was 4.2.2 (xxugng1). I have tried all the methods to make the LTE option available but nothing works. Here are the methods I tried :
1. Changing the persist.lteon file, it did not work
2. Changing the lteon_netlist.xml"located in /system/csc/common/etc
3. Change from Service Mode gwl
4 . Alot of other ways
Laslty, I installed a custom rom Lollipop by AryaMOD. The ROM worked well and I could see the LTE option in Mobile Networks menu. Unfortunately, the LTE does not work and still I see the Edge connected. I have verified the APN settings and they are perfect according to my Carrier required parameters. Also, I updated my Modem but still all invain.
Could some one help me to figure out the issue that could be there?
I will really appreciate quick response.
Have you tried a new SIMcard? 90% of the 'LTE doesn't work' cases (in customer services) are related to old or damaged SIMcards.

Have tried my sim in another 4g supported phone, and it worked perfectly on LTE/4g

Hi guys,
My actual phone info:
Bought with JB Stock Vodafone from Spain
Imei unlocked
Updated over OTA to kitkat
rooted via CF auto root.
Knox tripped
Phone info:
XXUENA6
XXUENA2
VFGENA4
For a week, I looked all over XDA forums, read all threads but I still can't find a solution for my n9005 problem.
Here it is: I bought one in Spain, imei unlocked it to use it Morocco. Everything worked just fine and I could use gsm network with a sim from IAM (Moroccan Provider). I then set up mobile APN to have 3G, made sure my sim is 3g enabled, but the phone refused to pick up the 3g signal. I checked the phone's mobile network settings, and found that I haf only 2 options: gsm/wcdma automatic, and wcdma only options.
Well, since Maroc Telecom(IAM) isn't offering a 4G coverage yet, I think that's normal not to have the 4g option. Still, When I use the automatic option I only get 2g signal (and can read my mails over gprs,get twitter notifications, but no internet via browser, etc..).
When I choose Wcdma only option, I simply have no network signal at all.
When searching manually for networks, I get all 3 moroccan's providers but only their 2g networks.
I was prompted for the kitkat update via OTA, updated but it didn't solve the unavailable 3g problem(and caused a few others I managed to solve).
Now, I rooted my n9005 using cf auto root, and off course tripped knox, tried to reset the phone many times, but still no way to have a 3g signal.
Thought about installing a compatible Rom, but I am a newbie, coming from the Apple world, and need some help with this.
Actually, it amuses me that I really waited until android started to ressemble to IOS to decide to switch once for all to Android
Please guys, if you have any idea to help me get the 3G signal, that would be awsome.
Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,
I am sorry if this has already been asked and already been solved.
I have a Samsung galaxy Note 3, it is the N9005 version I bought it from someone here in the UK he got it as an upgrade on his contract from Mobilephonesdirect.co.uk
I am on Three network and I am on 4.4.2, I live in london.
I am supposed to have 4G however I cannot see the LTE option in Mobile networks, all I have is: WCDMA/GSM (Auto connect) , WCDMA only and GSM only.
my CSC is : N9005OXXENB1 , AP N9005XXUENB4 and CP N9005XXUENB1
I have rooted my device as i heard that might help? but havent changed any settings?
I am kind of a noob in all of this ?
would really appreciate your help ..
thanks

It does not matter. First at all you have to see it in options and set it on. Second is if your provider enabled it to use. Make sure that you have USIM instead regular SIM card fitted to proper size.

I Had The Same.Do This:
using root explorer go to:
system/data/property
using its text editor open the file:
persist.radio.lteon
change from false to true
REBOOT
IT COMES UP AFTER 3 REBOOTS FOR ME
Sorry For The Quote
This is something I deal with about 18 times a day these days... The joys of a provider launching LTE...
What happens is that each csc version has its own file with in it a list of all providercodes followed by a 1 or 0. If set to 0, the LTE option doesn't appear in the interface.
The sneaky buggers disabled the dialer code for manually enabling network mode on the Note 3. So ODIN is the best option.
What you have there is XEF, France. Since Three doesn't appear to use branded firmware, you need to flash BTU over it. (this wont trigger knox if you use the official firmware)

First of all are you on 4g network? If you are rooted, try editing this file /data/property/persist.radio.lteon file, set the content to "true"
good luck

Did you try manually select the band?
Enter the secret code *#2263# (*#BAND#) and try.

I have also this model of galaxy note 3 but my problem is i cannot send text message whenever my signal becomes lte. There is no network selection option in the settings. Im using smart postpaid lte sim.
SM-N900L no LTE option
Sorry. I just open this topic again. My unit still the same no LTE option or acces. Pls help. Ty
I have the same problem in the Czech Republic.
Can any one provide assistance on this? I was told by a fellow N900L user that using a custom rom aryamod + Lean kernel might help. I do not know how to install custom rom and kernel. Does anyone know how to do this?
any updates on this? I just have may Note 3 2 days ago, and I'm having problem with weak sigal on TM/Globe.
Can it possibly root and flash a custom rom, I'm thinking to have it on Cyanogenmod ROM
First, check that your SIM/Phone provider offers 1. LTE 2. LTE in your area
Secondly, If your phone is a Korean Original, I dont think it will be global-ready... you may have to update the modem & CSC in order to receive the 4G/LTE bands that you are after.
Third, check the reception bands of your phone model and check that your provider/country uses those 3G/4G/LTE bands. (eg: 700MHz, 750, 850, 900, 1600, 1900 etc)

I have had a brief look in my files and dont have your models firmware or modem to send.. I am not sure if SM-N900L has cross-compatibility with SM-N900S for example, I recall something like that or vice versa..
There are a few options;
> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares
- Find and download the firmware appropriate.
> samsung-firmware.org
> Try connecting phone at desktop with Kies, this model may have an update per your area of the globe.

unfortunately there is no available stock firmware for n900L...but it's the same specs with n9005. so i guess i won't be havingg a problem with that stock firmware.
I'm currently running CM13 in my n900L, the rom was for n9005 and other Note3 with the same specs as Snapdragon800 chipset and Adreno GPU
It's work for me, i'm use ALL Band
Thanks bro :good:

Glad that you sorted it out.
Hi. I'm trying to select RF LTE Only using secret code "2263" via *Phone info* app but my Note 3 is not selecting that option and if I select LTE/gsm only mode then my network switches to edge network.
What shall i do in order to use LTE on my phone.
I'm running Lollipop 5.0 also tried to flash Modem with the older versions but no success till yet.
What could be the possible issue. The LTE coverage is strong in my area though.

No but previously when I was using kitkat XXUGNG1 I was facing the same issue.
Can you recommend which firmware is best in terms of signal recieving and stability?
Mine is a BTU version though.
Hi,
I did this guide to unlock LTE bands on my Galaxy S5 G900F, but it doesn't work.
Everything in the QXDM is ok and registered after reboot.
Is it because the phone is really made to not support band 4 ? Is there a hardware difference between G900F and G900W8 or this is simply the ROM that activate/desactivate bands ?
By the way, band 4 doesn't exist in NV browser (there are 1/7/13/17/40 bands only). Sounds like a hardware limit, but I want to be sure.
I'm running on Phoenix v7.
Thank you,
Samuel
I'm not posting because I have a solution to your problem. But I just wanted to say that I have the same exact issue. Same hardware, trying to enable the same band too. I've succeeded at writing the correct NV memory value (524511) and it sticks on reboot but the band is still not enabled. Mind you I haven't figured out how to tell which bands are enabled. I'm also running Phoenix Rom V7.
Perhaps we could get some momentum going on this issue.
Did you ever get your phone on Lte band 4?

Hi exiledfear!
I also have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (International version) that I bought in the US last year and want to enable Band 4 so I can use LTE in my country Argentina. I have not attempted to root my phone or write to NV yet, I first want to check whether someone was actually able to get it working using the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
I will really appreciate if you could provide any hints or tips on how to achieve this
Thanks
