Hello,
I'm looking to inquire some help on enabling otherwise blocked bands on these devices. I live in the U.S. and could greatly benefit from it. I looked at some posts on using the QPST and QXDM tools for Qualcomm devices, however I am a bit out of my depths as far as this goes. I know that 888 has a built-in modem (x60) but I couldn't find any material on all the bands it supports. If anyone of you could help point me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks

how about just to flash Modem.img from Global to Chinese via cmd
They're was some ussd codes posted in this forum recently that supposedly unlock carrier aggregation in the China model, maybe some one can remember where and link you to them.....

*#*#86583#*#* (VoLTE)

These worked for me. It will say turned carrier check off then you can find the option to turn VoLTE/VoWIFI on under the sim section (for each sim installed).
However, I'm trying to enable blocked bands on the snapdragon's modem. Some of them they don't enable on different phones because of legalities and some just aren't supported by the chip.

Has anyone had any success with enabling extra 4G LTE bands? This thread (click) about the Xiaomi Mi Note (pro) describes how to do it. It (the non pro variant) uses the same chipset as the ZUK Z1. Is it too straightforward to think it may work on this phone?
It describes how to use Qualcomm's diagnostic tool to modify the available frequencies / bands and it seems to work for quite a few people. Kudos to the first person that gets band 20 (800MHz) enabled!
It looks too complicated for me:/
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is Snapdragon 810 MSM8994, Zuk Z1 is Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC So it's not the same SOC.
Also glancing through that thread seems to suggest the hack is not working for everyone anyway.

It seems to be working for people with the Mi Note (not the Pro) and that is the same chipset (801)

I got my Z1 on Friday and I analyzed LTE settings in NVRAM. It looks like band 20 being already active, so there must be a hardware limitation in our device. Sorry.

So has anyone tried to unlock additional LTE band 17? If this is possible using this method I'd love to get this phone. Otherwise it's not worth it here in the US on AT&T. If someone can confirm that this works that would be awesome! Thanks very much.

I am getting HPSA+ with no unlocking at all, and running Speedtest on it against my Note 2 4G LTE VZW, the Zuk blew it away in download and upload speeds.
Right now I am only demoing this with a Go Phone acct. so I am not sure if I should expect more, since my primary carrier is VZW for now?
Very interested on this feature.
Could anyone try toolkits made for One Plus One?
Any update on this ? Has anyone made any progress unlocking bands 4 and 17 for AT&T in the US ? Please confirm.
Thanks.
Was anyone able to do this? I tried QPST on my PC, but couldn't get the phone into the qualcomm diag mode (tried a couple of things, like the ADB command and some dialer numbers I found over the web). Maybe Windows 10 isn't able to load the drivers.
Which drivers did you install? Does a device show up in device manager when you connect your phone?
Remember: always run programs as administrator, otherwise they won't communicate with your phone.
PS: for me it worked on a Win10 machine. Unfortunately I don't have it at hand, so I'm not able to take a look at it.

Hey guys. I got screwed buying a note 9 off of ebay because the seller in the USA did not say it was an international model SM-N960F/DS. I use t-mobile and don't have VoLTE, or VoWifi. Can someone walk me through the process on how to enable this through whatever means necessary. I'm not an idiot with technology and phones but also I have never flashed a new rom or anything. Thanks in advance for your help

Am afraid you can't get VoLTE enabled on the T-Mobile USA network with the international SM-G960F model
You needed the UN-branded US-model SM-N960U or SM-N960U1, or the BRANDED T-Mobile model SM-N960T

You will be able to get VoLTE option in the International version. Just insert VoLTE capable sim from your provider and restart the phone. I have tried it with an Indian sim and works perfect. Once you remove the card, VoLTE option disappears.

I have TMO with VoLTE/WifiCalling working on the F/DS model ordered through ebay with an original CSC of MYM (Thailand/Unknown). You have to have root, make a backup with TWRP, and use the detonator from the thread posted above TekHD's thread. Go to their telegram channel there is more support there and an updated version from bigTINY on TekHD's channel. Do some more reading on it but it is possible to get all your carrier features enabled on the international phone.

Your not alone. My samsung Galaxy Note 9 has the same problem. Yet it in my network information 4glte app it says my phone has volte enabled yet it doesn't work or seem to work for anyone?
After updated to N960FXXS3CSG1, the VOLTE and VOWIFI not work
I am considering picking up a SM-N960F/DS Samsung Galaxy Note 9, installing LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG and use with T-Mobile in the US. I have read that certain T-Mobile Services don't work out of the box, however, I have also read of a TMO Detonator configuration that can be installed which restores those missing features. Is anyone able to share their experience with this Note 9 version on T-Mobile? Did you use TMO Detonator? If so, did TMO Detonator fix all the T-Mobile compatibility issues? If not, which features are still missing? Does Carrier Aggregation work? If not, what LTE Data speeds are possible? Are you happy with the SM-N960F/DS Note 9 experience on T-Mobile? Is there still a site which holds the TMO Detonator File/Package along with Instructions? Any other thoughts or advice? Thanks for your time.
I'm having trouble activating the XQ-AT52 on Verizon (current service provider), the SIM is registering in the phone but I'm getting no service.
When I try to activate via Verizon online it tells me the IMEI is incompatible.
But when I try to use IMEI checkers on any other US carriers (t-mobile, att&t) it gives me a similar error?
Is the XQ-AT52 just not compatible in the US?
The IMEI isn't in the carrier database for T Mobile and ATT but that doesn't mean it won't work. This device works on GSM networks, not CDMA which means it won't work on Verizon

AFAIK, if you contact Verizon and ask them to activate the device as CDMA-less (or just ask them to set up your line as CDMA-less) you should be good to go for at least data. VoLTE is a different story, you might need a US customization for that.

Hi good morning where the files for US customization.
So I'm in a similar situation, I purchased an xq-at52 that was flashed with US firmware and verizon can't help me. Well, they're working on it, but it seems to more of an issue than just provisioning my line as cdma-less. I recently had success with a oneplus 7t so I figured the sony would be just as easy. Does anyone have a success story with the xq-at52 on verizon??
I'm trying to help a friend out who has this wonderful phone. Is there a way for the unlocked US model to utilize Verizons Nation wide 5g? I know it won't work with the mm wave but curious about the nation wide 5g since it uses a different antenna. Any help would be appreciated. I did search the forums and didn't see an answer to this specific question.
Thanks!

As it relates to 5g, yes. The verizon push my have other updates and enhancements for the phone, but enabling 5G DSS and the n5 band is done by the software update changing the service mode settings.

No. You want the csc to show vzw/vzw/xaa in software information under about phone in settings, but the unlocked fe model will automatically set this. If it is a carrier version fe, you may need to. For example a t-mobile branded one, you would want to see vzw/vzw/tmb

Exynos models have a service mode, as long as as you are only working with LTE and not 5g, there are options to work with. The exynos model doesn't have a 5g modem or antennas for 5g service.

It could, I have a UW model so it is hard for me to test. My understanding though is the U1 models are built without the the UW antennas, which if so, would make it impossible without hardware changes.

Yes it's supported by default. Depending on your phone brand, some need the "carrier check" turned off. Like Xiaomi phones have a dial code for that.

If you are able to and are on T-mobile can you confirm this with a screenshot? I have since sold my device because of the lack of VoLTE, but I might re-consider if this works.
