So after multiple hours of research I've finally put together a guide on how to get WIND working on an LG G3 D852
Download this zip for programs you'll need to actually unlock the bands: https://mega.nz/#!9o1QGKhb!pXdFUIr7uHpwBXBo1loFcqXjySWoyqhu-nB0ihHMk1o
Make sure your phone is rooted! There are multiple guides on this so just do a bit of googling.
Install LG United drivers from here: http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-android-usb-device-drivers
Install ADB driver from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
Install QPST from the zip
Enable USB debugging
Connect your phone to your PC and open adb
Enter the following commands
Code:
adb start-server
adb shell
su
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/lg_diag_cmd/diag_enable
setprop sys.usb.config acm,diag,mtp,adb
Open QPST Configuration from your computer's start menu
Click the "Ports" tab
Click "Add New Port"
Uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only"
Add all the com ports that show up
In QPST one of the ports should have a number show up under "Phone" in my case it was "MSM8974"
That's the port you want to remember
Navigate to where you installed QPST and go to QPST/bin and open RV_NV_Manager.exe
Click Settings> Comport> Choose the COM port from before that had a phone
Click on File>Read from phone
Once it's done loading go to line 1877 and copy the decimal number from the right side of the program
Go to where you extracted the zip and open "mztool"
On the left side set "Input Radix" as decimal
On the right there is "RF BC CONFIG" paste the number you copied from before there
Switch tab to "Band Preference(NV Value)
In my case (LG G3 D852) I selected
Code:
GSM: 07,08,19,21
WCDMA: 22,23,25,26,49
After you're done selecting all of those copy the number from the bottom right and remove all the commas
Then paste that number into RV_NV_Manager to replace the number you originally copied
Click "Write NV" and then press File> Write Changed NV to phone
Restart your phone and enjoy your new bands!
This was tested on a LG G3 D852 running Android 5.0
The version of QPST you're providing has a trojan according to AVG and Kaspersky...

I've just been using the QPST download I found from researching on how to do this. Are you sure it's not a false alarm since I'm currently using the exact same version of QPST with no problems?
Hi,
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I just had a question regarding unlocking bands. Will this procedure get rid of the bands I am currently using or will it simply unlock the ones Wind Mobile needs?
Thanks!

Simply unlock the ones wind mobile needs. You will keep all your old bands.
Hi
Will the unlocked bands stay unlocked if the divice id unrooted or has recieved a OTA firmware update?

On the LG G3 the band unlock stays after updates as far as I know.
What benefit of doing this? Better signal reception?

Some carriers use a specific band, in the case of WIND it's the aws band. The LG G3 physically supports it, but it's locked in the firmware. This lets you unlock that band and be able to use WIND mobile. This is different from just unlocking the phone
Hi, my d855 needs this band unlock or is it only for d852 users?
Thanks a lot
Ps: I live in Italy
Can I use this on d851?
Hello i have a D852 from Canada. Cant get data working on Digitel Venezuela, thats 900 mhz band. What should i do?

Hello
It is possible to unlock WCDMA/UMTS BAND 900 on my LG G3 852 ?
Related
This modem is very different from the others. It's kind of interface ethernet-usb or something.
It is not possible or necessary to make the switch to modem only from Hyperterminal or puTTY.
Prerequisites:
1 - ROOT
2 - Modem with unbranded firmware.
To this must go to calcode.webs.com, or https://www.facebook.com/Calcodewebcom, with your IMEI can get the NCK and FLASH CODE CODE for Huawei modems IMEI number 85/86. Since it is the only calculator free to do so. The DC-Unlocker balance no longer free to do so, if you can accomplish for pay.
If you know the IMEI of the modem there are several ways to find out, the easiest is with the DC-Unlocker
Then lower the firmware of this website
http://www.unlockmodemfree.biz/2013/01/upgrade-huawei-e303-firmware-to.html
and flashed from a PC with WINDOWS (they will ask the flash code, there enter the flash code obtained from calcode.webs.com).
If your modem is lock then use the Card Lock Unlock Tool program, download it from the same website, and try to unlock your modem to use with any company (optional).
After this and the tablet off and plug the modem light up. When you turn the tablet will see the signal bar in the lower right corner.
3 - At this point of the tutorial is where I am a little confused. Since I do not know if I got the connection by using the method of xdadevelopers or if this is not necessary (because I did it before trying to connect to the UMTS Manager Root)
Two options: a) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172914
This thread details a method somewhat difficult to do. I did it. Instead of using ES Explorer I used Root Explorer and instead of using the GScript used the Script Manager. The issue here is that after the method nothing happened, no connection established, no sailing. Then I opened the UMTS Manager Root and configured with APN, username and password for my ISP 3G. I used the port / dev/ttyUSB0 and "CONECT" with success.
b) Then it may not be necessary to make the method xdadevelopers and only need ROOT MANAGER UMTS on the tablet, download it from the PlayGoogle
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=UMTS+Manager+root&c=apps
add your apn, username and password. Then select the port / dev/ttyUSB0 and give Connect.
In the end I succeeded. Maybe some other user can play and comment if necessary xdadevelopers method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172914) before using the UMTS Manager Root or only using this apk wonderful connection is already achieved.
Thanks man
this is cool, just to add, the site you provided for unlcoking of huawei modems is no more in service so i just want to add a place people can generate free unlock codes for Huawei Modems like the E303 as you mentioned.

alright, So on my GSM HTC 8x (T-Mobile), I got File Explorer working in QPST. I can read and write various NVram values, change band prefs, etc. One thing interesting I found in the File Explorer (Not Windows OS, but for the Fileexp for the modem) is there is a directory called "Supl". In it is a file called "SuplRootCert". I copied it to my PC, and renamed it to "SuplRootCert.cer". When I opened the file, it presented itself as the "T-Mobile USA Root CA". Trusted Root Certificate.
I wonder what this is doing here? It can't be for Wi-Fi calling because the firmware doesn't support it (although it did at one time)..I wonder if we can put our own root certificate here and if the phone will trust it?

The name of the certificate reminds me something about A-GPS, but I could be wrong....
But there is something very intriguing in your experiments: perhaps that way we could enable LTE on the international ATIV S.

I have something you ca try with your Ativ S, if you want:
Try installing the diagnosticApp_Sprint onto your Ativ via the Microsoft Store (Set OEMID to HTC and CID to "null") Then see if you can toast your way to app://e69a2877-59b8-43ed-898d-554fbc4b8b2b/_default#/EmbeddedTool;component/DMSwitchPage.xaml Once there, you can try toggling one of the switches (both will enable the necessary serial Port). When the phone auto-reboots, you should be able to connect it to the PC. Once Windows Update finds and installs the drivers (I am assuming it will do this for the ATIV S), launch the "QPST Service Programming tool" (QPST can be found on the forum if you search for it) Once that tool loads, pick out your device and click "connect". Once that loads, click "read from phone". now go to the UMTS System tab to set your band preferences. (My 8x had all of them enabled by default) (I have nothing to compare it to, so YMMV). Once you have made changes, just press "write to phone" and wait for it to reset. Hopefully then you will have LTE enabled!

You can do this with samsung diagnosis, open it and enter *#7284#, then select QC RmNetComposite. After doing whatever you want, you can go back setting it to MTP again.
The phone will reboot when you change this value.

Obviously, the new version of the diagnosis app (the one included in the official GDR3 update) inhibits that code...I think I will decide myself to restart from GDR2 and upgrade with the "polish" hack, in the end. I was too lazy to do it, Now I have at least a good reason to do it....

How did you do that? I mean... I have a GSM HTC 8x as well and I'd like to edit the registry (mainly to change roaming preferences, bands preferences and if it is possible, the accent colors). Is that possible?
I have installed the Sprint Diagnostics app but it only shows the IMEI info and the SIM card info, nothing more. It does absolutely nothing else. Am I missing something?
You need to install @cpuguy's Native Toast Launcher
and paste this inside the box.

Oh well, no problem with that. I'd like to know if I can enable the AWS band on my phone (I got the c620e version). By the way, working with the modem, can I set some MCCs to be recognised as "home" network? Because I use a MVO and the whole time it says it is roaming (when it actually isn't).

I did all of that on my HTC 8x (model c620e) and it did work. However, I'm kind of stuck because Windows doesn't detect the appropriate drivers for the phone and all I got is "HTC Composite device". Do you have any driver that I can use?
@cybermiguel It did that to me at first, too. Make sure the PC you are using has Internet, right-click on the "HTC composite device" in device manager, select "update driver software". Then tell it to search automatically for drivers. They will "magically" appear.

weird. I was using QPST 2.7 Build 402, and it was working fine. I was able to use "EFS Explorer" and "Service Programming" to read/write various info. Try a different USB cable or port on your computer?
Try this driver, for me work (disable driver signature)

The screenshot you posted seems to me unuseful: all is already enabled and activated. Can you please post a screenshot of the NAS tab? There you should find if LTE UE OP classes are enabled, and, first of all, if UE RAT includes LTE or not.
Dear all,
I followed all the steps on the tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
but still dont have the LTE bands.
problemas:
1 - when I set, USB to CP, the computer does not connect to the phone.
2 - when I open QPST, I dont see any port as DIAGNOSTIC. (alredy try reinstalling the drivers)
3 - on QPST, I can read from phone, but after editing NV 6828 and 6829, I cant write values to phont, I get the error message: "serious error encountered write to phone aborted"
4 - when I reboot the phone and reconect to QXDM, the values I setted on 6828 & 6829, are still there, but I don't have the bands.
does anyone know what is missing?
thenks a lot

Yeah, tried that! Network only latch on to band 3.
Working or not ? Not sure !
Enabled for me in B3 + B7 (France).
Logo shows 4G+. I thought it was not working but it seems to be working. Sometimes I can see B3 and B7 even if there's no difference on download speed: strange !

Use network signal guru app to find two good bands in ur area and follow the guide.. i hav added band 3 and 40
if any other app show which band connted
With forced band (for CA) download speed is worst so I've reverted back to original values.
We can find lots a topics about CA problems on Xiaomi phones... and that's right, sadly.

Hi Folks,
When in Xiaomi launched Redmi Note 4(Mido) in India, at that time Jio was one supporting 4G all over India, hence to cut cost on Licensing Xiaomi approached to Cut LTE band Support in Mido. It launched with support of Band 3, 5 & 40, unfortunately with Time More carriers came with Band 1 & 8. Unfortunately Xiaomi didn't show interest in Unlocking Bands via Firmware update with Lol reason of Hardware Limitations.
But, I have Good News..
I am able to unlock those additional Bands using QXDM tool. It was simple and I tested myself in Different Circle with Carriers utilising Those bands.
When, I started working on Unlocking bands, I got to know in WCDMA, These Band 1 and 8 were enabled by default but LTE wasn't configured to use it. I researched further and came to conclusion, RF Module is same in case of WCDMA(3G) and LTE(4G), no it was just Firmware which wasn't configured to support it. So Basically, It had to support those bands and I went on with my idea and conclusion.
Things required are-
1. QPST Tool
2. QXDM Tool
3. LTE Band Calculator
4. Phone with Working USB Port
5. PC with Windows and all drivers up to date.
First step is to enable Diagnostic mode. If U are on MIUI it's easy to enable. just punch *#*#717717#*#* and You will be greeted with Diag Mode Enabled toast notification. And If are on Custom ROM, then U MUST BE ROOTED. Enable USB Debugging > Connect to PC > Now Open ADB Command Window(Hope U are familiar with this) > type adb devices (Device list will show) > adb shell > su (grant Root permission from phone) > setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
However U can Use Terminal Emulator app too. Type su (grant root permission) > setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
PS- Those ADB and Emulator commands may fail to enable Diag Port in Custom ROMs. If fails, then option is to flash MIUI and Use USSD code.
Now in device manager, U will see Qualcomm HS-USB Device with COM Port Number. If Windows is Updated and connected to Internet, Driver will get installed automatically.
Download and install QPST Tool, and QXDM Tool. Now Launch QXDM Tool.
1. Go to Options > Communication > There it will show COM Ports, Choose port and Now Change Target Port to your COM Port.
2. Click on View > New > Common > NV Browser
3. Now Click on Category Filter > Select LTE > Edit 06828 LTE BC Config & 06829 LTE BC Config DIV
4. Put phone in Airplane Mode before editing. BTW Note down default Values. To Read Values, just Click on 06828, in window
underneath select First one and Click on Read button and do same for 06829.
5. Open LTE calculator in Phone, choose Bands U want to enable. To Be specific choose Band 1, 3, 5, 8 & 40.

Glad to know.
@hoshang.govil12 Do i take a backup of EFS to keep the unlocked bands safe? Or are they unlocked permanently. Flash addict here.
U can take QCN back-up and keep it safe. BTW Once u edit QCN aka With this method once it's unlocked then No matter U flash Fastboot ROM or firmware or Anything, It will remain unlocked.

Indian variant of Redmi Note 4 only comes with 3(1800), 5(850) and 40(2300). Global variant has all those above mentioned bands out of the box.

It just show lte+ if your mido is indian. If you look on network signal guru. It still be using single Carrier. We can see clearly that ul_ca off tag in it. Indian mido's antenna don't support ca. If you have the global Variant you will have ca(lte +) and these extra bands as factory default

It kinda did work and also kinda worked. (Using BSNL 4G)
After following your process I used Network Signal Guru.apk to check if it was unlocked, and it shows those missing networks :laugh:
. But when I choose LTE in Mobile Networks the network won't show, it remains blank
. I thought it might be network issue. So I inserted the sim in my other phone Nokia 3.1 and it was showing 4G sign.
I m using bsnl 4g. I tried and I unlocked B1. I checked with Network_Signal_Guru.apk. But unfortunately it didn't worked. So I thought it might be network issue so i inserted my sim on nokia 3.1 and their it shows 4g. But on my phone when I turn on LTE on Mobile Network section on settings, the network remains blank. I have read many threads and community pages where all mido users says that it worked for them. But why is it not working for me?

Check in SIM 2 too. But Once Insert Jio SIM and reboot and then Insert BSNL in SIM 2. Or have U tried Factory Reset?
as a wifi user, does it benefit me by unlocking more bands?
What happen if you unlock all bands?
What if you unlock all 44 bands?

Cellular bands and Wifi bands are different so it won't benefit You.

See, there are hardware limitations over unlocking Bands and using it properly. On Software side, We can unlock every band but not all band will work as hardware won't be supporting.
