I have a device : Galaxy S4 LTE-A LG (SHV-E330L, ks01ltelgt).
The Problem is:
This device does support the 4G of my carrier, but it cannot toggle to 4G automatically in my carrier's network.
I can only select 4G (LTE B3) manually in engineering menu (dial 319712358, password 0821), as you can see in image1.
And in this manually selected mode, I'm not able to call or to receive calls.
image1:
Selecting either "Automatic" or " LTE ALL" does not make any difference.
"Automatic" - always 3G (image2)
"LTE ALL" - no signal (image3)
image2:
image3:
My question is:
is there any method or ROM or modification which can make this device toggle 4G/3G/2G network automatically?
Thanks very much~!!
anyone can help? T.T

1. Dial *#1234# and tell me what appears there or attach one screenshot.
2. Verify that you have the latest firmware on your device. Download, unzip and flash this file via ODIN if not: HERE.
3. Go to Settings/Connections/More Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and add your APN carrier there.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
1. it's:
AP: E330LKLUCNG9
CP: E330LKLUCNG5
CSC:E330LLGTCNG9
2. I've checked that my CP firmware is the latest version while the other two are not. It takes time to update because I have lots of apps installed and it needs time to backup and restore.....
And I think the problem is on CP not the rest two..... if there is no other way, I will try to update the firmware.
3. I think the APN has no problem because if I choose LTE B3, the phone can access 4G network without any problem.

I don't think it would be easy like that.....
I have checked my firmware was released on July, 2014, though it's not the latest.
The latest was released on Oct.2014...where can I find the change list of the latest firmware?

Based on this I expect we can change it in a way we can load WW information and so unlock LTE bands.
Code:
Update #1
#RFSKUID_DETECT=$(cat /sys/module/intel_mid_sfi/parameters/rf_sku_id)
RFSKUID_DETECT=$WW_BAND # this will set RFSKUID_DETECT=0
Changelog:
Update #1: Without changing RFSKUID it will load configuration as if it was WW version;
Attempt #2 - Change XML files
Code:
Change this file content /system/etc/catalog/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_CN/telephony_config/V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_CN_726x.xml
In line where is mentioned (4g_active_bands) change bands to the wanted bands, as well as in the next 3 lines. Below there are 2 images to help you.
V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_WW_726x.xml example
V1_DSDA_ZE550ML_CN_726x.xml example
Changelog:
Update #1: Change 4G bands in XML file;
In order to unpack/repack boot.img you can use this great tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319018

Hi there.
For now I really believe this method is reliable, as it will load WW configuration files.. if there are no hardware differences between WW and CN versions (which I believe share the same modem -> Intel 7262) it will work I guess :good:
Here in Portugal for example Vodafone uses 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz. As far as we have 1800MHz I don't know if we'll have some LTE signal.. we'll have to wait to see! Thanks for your support
FYI, what this does is build local config directory which further allow to load the files specific to WW or CN etc.I tried once to copy WW files to CN but no change in band support.
Have you still got radio working? I read here in XDA that there could be a kind of mechanism to sign files and so the file won't be loaded.. This way we don't touch .xml files. Have you tried this method?
Hi, im from Portugal too and have zenfone2 since July, and this is very interesting for me, but i wouldnt know to where to start to test it since im not very expert in this matters...
But i hope it works..
Let me see if i get it. I need to unpack boot.img, replace config file in it, pack it back up and flash it to get this tested?
If so, that did not work, still getting H+ only and code 2 in /sys/module/intel_mid_sfi/parameters/rf_sku_id
I have 551ML, WW version and I need Band 38 (LTE TD 2600 MHz) to use it in my country (Romania). How can I enable it?

Intel 7262 + Intel 2230 suports all LTE Frequencies on-Chip, the load of modem radio fw is prior to the boot rom of the phone.
i'm guessing with some work, with a FULLdump of a WW version of zenfone 2 (modem radio / baseband) it will be possible to enable the needed frequencies.
As far as i know ther is NO limitation in hardware in this device.

It's normal to get code 2 in that file. Here we aren't changing that file, just changing the code that this script will load on boot. Have you tried to change the XML file which loads the corresponding file (WW, CN or TW)?
Thanks

These are great news. Since there are no hardware differences we're able to unlock all frequencies. So we'll need to find where the modem radio fw is loaded..
BTW, only Intel 7262 supports LTE. Intel 2230 is the modem for the second SIM-Slot.

It will be a matter of time, seek and experiment to unleash the full lte bands.
First thing is to know how and when baseband files are loaded on the phone. Maybe this is firmware related...
So my phone was originally CN, but I changed sku to WW and running latest WW firmware with boot image and all. I have it rooted and have unlocked bootloader with TWRP, so testing things is easy. I changed the file that you modified and repacked and flashed boot.img with no results. If you have anything else to try - let me know.
I used this method to change to WW and got my boot.img and droidboot.img from here. in latest 139 firmware. Whats interesting is even though the phone is running WW firmware and thinks it's on WW sku for OTA, it still loads as CN for the radios.

I was just wondering that there could be differences in the Asus motherboard or something else...
You have an error in script, because it loads ZX551 settings.
Also there is no sense to work with ramdisk image, because LTE is locked in modem FW, which flashes according to parameters flashed at factory.
The only way to change it is to somehow modify ifwi image.
Right now i have flashed WW version with WW modem at CN phone and WW bands are still not working (even if i manually select 'em with AT commands).
I did it by modifying /factory/PhoneInfodisk/country_code file content to "TH".

I didn't edit the PROJID_DETEC variable. Why do you say that?
You should also modify the / sys / module / intel_mid_sfi / parameters / rf_sku_id file too.. Have you tried it?
This won't change anything, I have flashed WW boot.IMG ,droidboot.IMG and recovery.IMG on my CN zenfone 2 and the bands didn't work so I returned back to stock CN.
If boot.img was responsible for the bands then they should have worked when I had the WW boot.img.

WW_US_BAND is for ZX550 model, not for ZE551.
To modify rf_sku_id file we neet to modify kernel sources, recompile and flash it.
As i wrote few month ago:
LTE bands depends on RF_SKU_ID value.
In kernel sources RF_SKU_ID is defined based on "zenfone2.MR7.1-2.18.40\linux\kernel\arch\x86\platform\intel-mid\intel_mid_sfi.c" file.
Possibly, if we change it to static WW value "0", then LTE bands may become available.

i was in the same boat as macallik, mobileq brought me back to mm so i went the eluga route. after unlocking boot loader and rooting i decided to take a stab at a custom rom. i failed miserably at the installation. so decided to start all over. so i mobileq to mm, then eluga back to 5.0.2, unlock boot loader, root(some steps were redundant). somewhere along the line i lost lte. back mm, no lte. back to 5.0.2, no lte. custom rom(spb2,1), no lte. flasf the 6045i 5.0.2 radio zip, no lte.
is my lte now fubar or is there still hope?

Mobile Q does a full reset of everything...the only reason you would not have lte at that point would be lte not being available in your area or your account not being setup to use it in carrier settings. For example you have to be using the t-mobile lte apn.

restored mm through mobileq and still had no lte. used eluga to again go to 5.0.2, flashed a couple different roms both your 6045i radios and nothing. im at a friends house and from sensorly saw that theres a bit of a dead zone through his house. he does have a tmo signal booster and does get lte on his iphone.
any way the radio could be pushed through adb?
any and all suggestions are welcomed. worst case scenario id be forced to upgrade.....

Did you do clean installs or are you trying to restore data from old builds? Mobile Q resets ALL the partitions. The flashable radio's overwrite the modem partition. At that point the only factor is whether or not you are using the right config. Are you using the fast.t-mobile.com apn? Did you run the lte discover app to see what towers your phone is actually seeing? Are you comparing the results each time you change the radio? What towers/bands is your friends phone seeing?
If you ran mobile q and you STILL don't have lte then you have other issues..possibly hardware. The eluga software WILL break lte...it's going to install whatever radio the eluga uses and it's not meant for the usa. In another thread I posted how to identify what version radio you are running...that getprop command should work on most models unless you've installed cyanogenmod which wipes out alot of the info from stock.
Example:
1|[email protected]:/ $ getprop | grep non.ver
[ro.tct.non.ver]: [K7SRA0A0BG00]

hadnt ran lte discovery or compared results. ill redo mobileq and see what that yields and try to get the radio version.
ive used both fast.tmobile apns. most have been clean installs. as soon as i get a hold of my friend ill look into his lte bands. installed cm around noon just to give it a try. everything else has been done with mobileq, eluga and mm roms.
lte discovery came up empty. i think my freinds iphone connects to band 4.

You should also ensure your phone "mode" in cellular settings is LTE enabled and not set to only wcdma/gsm.
4 is a rather common band used by both AT&T and T-mobile which should work on just about ALL the radio's.
The mode in settings>more>cellular nerwork is set to LTE/wcdma/gsm. I enter a service menu yesterday and where it let you choose radio/service, the only option was wcdma/gsm. Tried tmo sim from iPhone and it only detected 3g/2g but wouldn't connect. So far LTE discovery just sees hspa.
When I get back home I'll try to upgrade with mobileq.
Thanks
I got the same problem like rotor nuts. Restored through mobile q. I did everything that rotor nuts did. Cannot get LTE back. I'm on straight talk att. APN setting are the same one that I always use to get lte. Only getting H network. Before this I was getting around 25 Mbps and now I'll be Lucky to even gets 2 Mbps.

First go into "adb shell" and run the following command..see if you are running the same radio...the N0N0 is the latest radio before the 6.0 version came out.
[email protected]:/ $ getprop | grep non.ver
[ro.tct.non.ver]: [K7SRN0N0BG00]
K7SR = 5.0.2
K7VA = 6.0
then under Settings, More, Cellular Networks, check to make sure your "Preferred Network Mode" is LTE/WCDMA/GSM.

all the setting is correct. my radio version after using mobile q is K7VAUEB0BG00. do you think this might be because of eluga? before i flash eluga my lte was ok but because i wanted to downgrade to get root.

As the message you quoted indicates K7VA shows it's the 6045i Marshmallow (6.0) radio which is what mobile Q would install. If that's not your model or you are not on marshmallow then you should find the appropriate radio and flash it. Additionally if you need/want LTE Band 12 then you HAVE to use the 5.0.2 radio as it's been removed from the 6.0 one.
I'm working on a possible hybrid radio but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. I'm not even in a band 12 area so I'd have to rely on a tester which will slow things down ALOT.

So with all that information that I provided above I am bit confused. I'm not sure if HD Voice is actually working because S8 Dialer doesn't show it. I downloaded a non root Google Dialer APK and it showed HD voice when calling my wife's TMobile number. I would really like to flash this to a completely TMobile version so I can get 4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM features but I am looking at http://updato.com and I see 2 different versions. SM-G950U & SM-G950U1. SM-950U USA TMB G950USQU1AQDE May 1st 2017 or SM-G950U1 USA TMB G950U1UEU1AQE3 June 12th 2017 . At this point I am confused on how I should proceed. If somebody could help me figure out how to proceed I would appreciate it. I have done a lot of flashing and unlocking bootloaders going back to my original Droid X but I really don't want to brick my $800.00 dollar phone right away.
Note: I have read [Snap.] Guide for Flashing Standard FW, Carrier Switching, and Flashing Unlocked FW and I am still a bit lost. Hope this is enough information for someone to send me in the right direction
Thanks

Possibly a TMobile Tweak?

Might be a TMobile software tweak that enables the NFC icon to show up in the notifications. Might not be enabled in the Unlocked Versions.
BTW What Model # is your wifes phone ..... I can't figure out if I should flash the G950U or the G950U1 ...

Are you sure that US unlocked model on T-Mobile isn't getting "4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM"? In the specs on Samsung website it shows: VHT80 MU-MIMO,1024-QAM, don't know if it is any different.

How to verify that SM-G950U1 do or does not support 4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM on T-Mobile? I might flash my unlocked unit to T-Mobile only if I know for sure that my device doesn't support it.

I'm not sure if it does yet but I would assume so since you are flashing the T-Mobile firmware .. I have tried many different methods of finding out if it does via the device but I think you need root. I tried multiple applications from the play store and used multiple phone codes to open every menu available. I got to the ServiceMode to change bands by using *#2263 / I got to ServiceMode with Debug that gives information about the current Band that you are on and how many MHZ you are running at. It also gives you some additional info: RSRP RSRQ SNR. Unless somebody else has a way to figure this out without root I'm not sure. Also Ill add a list of the current cities with 4x4 MIMO below. I did verify that all HD Voice, Wifi Calling, Video Calls, & Volte work .... Verified by downloading Shortcut Master Lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en ( Under App Explorer / System Apps / IME Settings / ImsSettingsLauncherActivity / Launch ). I am happy with the TMobile Version .. It has T-Mobile App installed and Lookout but there is ways to disable those and remove them without root. I haven't removed them but i read it is possible ... Doesn't use much RAM. If you need anything else let me know!

So from your 1st link, I do see that my city is there (WA), but second link, didn't have it.
I have done flashing via Odin many times on my previous Galaxy phones, so I feel comfortable, but I am kind of debating...if I really need to flash and if I will benefit from this.
I will ask you few questions and it may help me make a decision:
1) Have you measured download speed using Speed Test before flashing T-Mobile firmware? If yes, any difference?
2) I hear that my phone calls are clear and pretty positive that HD Voice is there, even though there is no icon.
3) VoLTE, Band 12 and WiFi Calling are supported and work well. Never had a reception issue or call drops, at least not yet.
4) As for RCS support, do you see it often when you text other users?
5) Video calling - your phone should have it, have you used it?
6) How is battery life compared to an unlocked software that you had before?
From the list above, I would flash to T-Mobile if: #1, 4 and 6 are working properly to make user experience better. I do know that RCS even on T-Mobile is limited to phones that support it, for example Glalaxy S6, 7 and 8 and possibly Note 5. Also some LG phones I believe had it as well.
In other words, what did you gain when you went for T-Mobile firmware?
Before I forget, you used Odin and added needed files such as BL, AP, CSC(you probably didn't you HOME file, just CSC) and also USERDATA TMB file - I am correct?
Any updates on whether or not the Unlocked USA S8 supports 4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM on T-Mobile? I've flashed the T-Mobile firmware on my unlocked phone and haven't noticed any speed decreases or increases. Any new way to verify that s 4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM is actually active with the unlocked firmware? I believe it is doing 3x CA though...

I am trying to find that info for sometime... I have seen somewhere that there is/was an app in play store which was similar to LTE Discovery, but it did show more info on 4x or QAM, I don't really remember. That time I didn't need this info, so I didn't really pay attention. I found this site that has some info: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1888849-How-to-tell-if-using-4x4-mimo
