Hi all,
Is this J5(J500FN) phone able of LTE band 38 ?
I sow that there is a post about unlocking all LTE bands on xda for qualcomm platforms. I am afraid of bricking so I would like to know if anyone already tried it ?
Thanks

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

Need help as well
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.
Got a xiaomi redmi note 4g LTE to play with but unfortunately device only supported FDD-LTE band 1, 3 only. Needed band 2, 4 and 7 to be able to work with tmobile USA LTE network. Any ideas on how to add those values to the phone?

No you cannot unlock bands. Bands are hardware based.

the hardware was supported. It's a Snapdragon 410 chipset with 4G LTE world mode. it's Xiaomi who didn't add those bands into the baseband modem. I read some XDA threads about unlocking all LTE bands for Qualcomm Snapdragon chips but I couldn't understand how to add thoae NV values and how to get into the USB settings mode in my Xiaomi device. I need someone with experience to look into this and maybe make some step by steo guide for us. Its been done b4 with oneplusone, oppo, Sony, LG, Samsung phones with success so I knew it could be done.
ok i could be wrong. My friend just brought a moto x to australia and used a process or update to open up some more bands on his phone .

Don't know if you're still wondering, I found out there are two versions of this phone. One is Chinese the other is a Hong Kong version. The Hong Kong version comes out of the box with compatible T-Mobile 4g lte band.

Oh, and as for ROMs unlocking lte bands. I would try the MIUI 5 global ROM. I haven't had a chance to test myself yet but, I would give it a shot. It's the ROM the Hong Kong version comes with out of the box.

I'm sorry, I'm not too familiar with lte bands outside of the US. However you should check out this forum for the Redmi Note 4g. It's where I got most of my info from.

I'm still not sure it's possible. I've searched and most people say it's hardware based and ROMs can't change it. If you're already rooted and have custom recovery, you might as well give it a shot and report back.

Same problem here. My carrier uses a LTE frequency not supported by phone. All other carriers are supported, mine is not, frustrating. Installing Mokee (or any other custom ROM, I tried them all) doesn't change a thing. I don't know about MIUI, but don't think it would work.

How is it going now? Have you successfully unlocked B7
I want to unlock B20 and went through all the steps from this guide but no luck
But I did LOCKED B7 which is available originally on my Mi NOTE (dual-sim) to see if the value I set into 6828 is working.
you can have a go to unlock B7 I think

Is there any way to enable ATT LTE bands on the n910f? I've searched and couldn't find an answer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/enabling-additional-lte-bands-att-t-t3160864
XDA members are working on this for US variants of the Note 4. After finding a solution for US variants, it should be easy to venture into the international variant as well.

I thought AT&T LTE bands were 2, 4, 5, and 17. Doesn't the F version work on those out of the box?
Hello, my phone is N910F and my carrier needs the 38 lte band to work on 4g.My question now...is there any chance to do that without changing the phone??
Cheers guys!
