Hi all.
I ordered an M9, so I'll probably receive it and be able to somewhat answer my own question soon enough, but...
I'm wondering if anyone has tried enabling LTE bands, particularly Band 1 (I need it in Japan.) I know there was some success on the M8 unlocking various bands, so I'm hoping it will work on the M9 as well. Instructions as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
Anyone tried? Anyone know anything?

I'm with T-mobile but I am dying to get the note. Can someoen link or even just give me a description as to how to get the note to work on T-mo? I'm guessing rooting it but then what?
3g/4g will not work here on t-mo. so i would suggest take a hot-spot and connect via wifi. thats what im doing . other than that there is not much of an issue. since i assume u would be getting an international version it will be unlocked already and rooting methods are are available in the dev section

you have the "unlocked" version? I thought the "unlocked" international version would work on tmo 3g/4g ?
I'm not 100% sure about this but the only way I could get my streak to work with tmobile 3g/4g was to get one for Bell, I'd just checked their site and it lists the note as having the correct frequencies for t-mo us. My guess is get one from them and get it unlocked should it be locked onto their network

as of now the only difference between dev edition and regular edition is the 64 gb? (assuming i unlock the bootloader myself)
also can anyone confirm if the differences between US/EU/ASIA models in the radio bands is due to different hardware or to software limitations?
more to the point, if i buy the europeane model, could i be able to flash the asian radio to get the 850 mhz 3g band?
pls can anyone answer :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: especially the second Q.
i searched the forums but havn't found an answer
There's no way to do that so far...

don't think so but it is very easy, you only need to flash the proper radio.zip into recovery and you're done..

It won't work. Check the international forum of HTC One here at xda. There are already countless people flashing a EU variant radio on their AT&T, T-Mobile & Asian variants HTC One yet the frequencies still remain the same.
thanks.
I really wish that htc had made it easier to get a hold of this device. most people can't get the 64gb developer's as it's obtainable only in the u.s.
and all the other editions are currently very scarce, and hard to find. and even if you find one, it may not work proparly with your carrier. not to mention that if you travel alot this device won't do because of the different bands in each country.
i appolagize for the rant, but it's really frustuating, i really wanted to buy the htc one.

The Dev edition is only needed in the US.
Which phones support more frequency bands than the One?
Hi. I am considering buying a sprint ls995.
I want a lg flex because it is unique, long lasting battery, and I'm a snapdragon 800 fan.
I am aware I will not have 4g capability here in New Zealand.
So before I buy one off ebay I want to know what is the success rate of unlocking these phones, and what is the best / most up to date guide to do so?
Thanks.

I unlocked mine with Brute force/stump root, petty easily. I think the difficulty/success comes from the software version. I started, and still on ZVA.

Thanks so should I ask for a particular software version model to ensure success? which one/s?
Where can the person find it incase I need to tell them?

Just my experience, that was the easiest.
To check software:
Settings--->about phone---->software info
There are a few threads in this forum with people having trouble with unlocks. Thats why I gave you my suggestion.
I just noticed a Dev commenting on the status of freedomflex/and ioroot. Read up in those threads, maybe they will update them to work with the new software updates.
Does it matter with whom the carrier is from?
can they be flashed or rooted?
Currently there's a procedure to unlock boot loader for all models *except* t mobile. The procedure isn't simple though. Look in rom/devs sub forum.

Alright thank you
does it matter if I buy a AT&T version or Sprint Version?
Would it affect performance or what bands I can connect to?

That I don't know. I got a Sprint model and it seems to work fine with att, though I've been stuck at home like everybody else so I haven't really tested the network. The Sprint model is on Android 9. I don't know what the situation is on att.
Sprint does load the phone with a bunch of bloat and spam ware, most of which you can disable. I imagine att does the same. I'd just buy what is available at lowest price.

What made you decide to get this phone? If you explain what you want/need people will be able to advise you better.

from what I was told you could just flash the firmware on it to the US unlocked and that would allow more band usage?
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!

There was a firmware update pushed out for the Verizon variant (and other phones) that activated lowband 5G access. The update for the unlocked version has not yet been released.
Does that just do the same thing as your fix?

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

Do any of those options work on the Exynos versions?
I use this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...de-service-mode-csc-guide-enable-lte-t4182293. I bought s20fe Unlocked directly from Samsung and I'm with Verizon. And I have that 5G icon instead of LTE.

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.
