Hey,
I live in China and I have a Korean Samsung S5. Chinese LTE bands are different, so I was trying to make LTE work using the standard guide.
However, I found a much easier way to enable more bands using a few simple steps and no need fo custom roms or kernels.
I am not sure why this worked for me or if it is going to work for anyone else. Do this at your own risk!
What I did was I went to this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/guide-enable-unlock-edit-add-gsm-lte-t2948822
Then I scrolled down and used the instructions to check the LTE bands my phone already supports.
Here's how you can check you existing LTE bands:
Open the dial pad
Type: *#0011# to enter Service Mode (Be very careful with what you do here)
Note: You need to be rooted for this to work
Once in Service Mode, do the following:
Tap the menu button and tap Back
Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter an upper case Q and press OK
Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter 4 zeroes (0000) and press OK
Wait 5 - 15 seconds. You'll see the Main Menu
Choose option [2]: UE SETTING & INFO
Choose option [1]: SETTING
Choose option [1]: PROTOCOL
Choose option [2]: NAS
Choose option [1]: NETWORK CONTROL
Choose option [4]: BAND SELECTION
Choose option [4]: LTE Band Preference
Choose option [7]: LTE ALL (Or you can choose any band instead)
If you want to go back then tap the menu button and choose Back (Don't press the back key)
Press the back key to exit.
After step 7, I pressed a new option that came up: GSM 850
then I clicked option, back, back again. Nothing happens, pressed home button and I see I have no signal. Then I turn on airplane mode, swich it off and I see that my phone connects to LTE. So now I have a stock Android 5.0 rooted Galaxy S5 that supports all LTE bands.
This is much more simple than the guide already on XDA.
Please post feedback, because I do not know anything else besides what I have already posted. Thanks.
does this enable band 12

Has anyone been successful adding lte bands to the SM-G900F while running Cyanogenmod 13.0 ro 14.1
Alternate access to Service Mode
On my phone SM-G900V running Marshmallow, The *#0011# didn't get me into Service Mode Main Menu,...I had to use the following in dialer: *#27663368378# to get into the Main Menu screen.
Hope this clue will save someone a couple of hours of frustration, and research. I Hate Marshmallow, Especially it's F__ked-Up Storage Management! SD Card write protected.
this just figures, i very recently switched from a TW ROM to Resurrection Remix and i cont figure out a way to get into the service menu on AOSP
Getting Dialer options
Maybe this will help. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303905

thanks! I did end up flashing a TW ROM so i could try this, and it didnt work. I am using a G900P tho, so that might have something to do with it

"1) Goto dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* (DO NOT press send)
wait a second and you will get the test menu.
2) In the test menu choose 'Phone Information'
3) scroll down and choose on the first drop down - unknown
4) Back all the way out.
"
actually most likely will go up and down from H to E but will most likely save battery!

(The Telus Fascinate is more of US/VIBRANT (gsm/cdma) then a Verizon Fascinate)
Just to start. Yes I have exhausted my search before asking. I am looking to improve call quality by switching to EVRC B. However using
Tried: **772
SPC code 000000
The bottom of the screen will have buttons that are directional like a d-pad.
Tried: Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hidden menu Enable radio button.
I am erasing the first entry before entering the second and im not pressing send..... the spc box never pops up for either
However I can get into testing and long shut down button enabled menus, however I can't get into gps testing (mine works fine) or others.
All I want is to switch to evrc b and volume controls to see if it helps. There has to be a difference between the verizon and telus code dialers.
Any help is much appreciated!, love the phone, but it should be a phone first everything else second not the other way around.
Phone is a telus fascinate/vibrant, not rooted.
I wonder if there is a way to make shortcut or app to toggle 3G network. When power button is pressed there is a pop up menu with the option to change network mode. If we could get shortcut made up to use it it will be great. I don't know anything about it so I'm not much help but hopefully someone might know how yo do it.
The one I use is Data Switch by TomatoX - * HERE *
Install the App. Press & Hold the screen where you want the shortcut to go, select Sortcuts -> Applications -> DataSwitch.
A press on the shortcut will toggle your data connection.
I don't know how I missed that.
Thank you.

Open dialer. Type *#0011#.
Go to the top right and press the back button. Then, go to the top right again and press Key Input.
Type: Q and press okay. Then type 0000 in Key Input and press okay. Then you should see a service mode screen.
Go to UE setting and information --> Setting --> Protocol --> AS --> Frequency Lock --> LTE Cell Locking. Pick the LTE band you want to be locked in.

Tired of LTE/data disconnecting on VS980 or other G2 CAF builds when disconnecting from wifi or when the phone reboots or other??
I may have a fix for you..
Install Tasker
Install Secure Settings and install the system+ option. Open tasker and create new task
- Name task LTEtoggle
step 1 : Click + then type wait in the seach bar and select wait then select 1 second hit back
step 2 - Click + and select plugin then select secure settings
- Select Custom Rom Action and select LTE
- Select toggle and hit save icon in the upper right
-make sure to select continue task after error and hit the back button
REPEAT STEP ONE
REPEAT STEP 2 - WITH THE EXCEPTION - Instead of selecting toggle, select ON and hit save.
-hit back
- Select Profiles and click the + at the bottom and select state.
- type wifi and select wifi connected then hit back button
-Menu will pop up, select LTEtoggle you just made.
Long press the LTEtoggle icon with the little green arrow then select EXIT task
-Select LTEtoggle again.
-Long press on the TOP GREEN LTEToggle and select unlink task.
-Make sure the switch is on, exit in the upper right and save when prompted.
Open tasker again and make sure its enabled in the upper left and corner by long pressing the wheel.
- You will get an error from toast saying LTEtoggle failed but ignore it or disable.
There is your LTE toggle when disconnecting from wifi. Works pretty well so far...
You can create another profile and select DEVICE boot and add the LTE toggle to it. And you will have an LTE auto switch for when your phone reboots or other..
