Because the OP didn't post too many details, most people couldn't perform all the operations through to the end...
Here goes:
Dial *#197328640#, it will take you to the service menu
Choose UMTS, or, if UMTS is missing, choose [1]Debug Screen directly
Choose [8] Phone Control
Choose [6] Network Lock
You will see "Not Active", you need to press the Settings/Options soft button (button on the left), and you will get a list of options
From the list choose the third [3] line, and enter the following text: SHA256 OFF
After 10-20 seconds you will see a returned value, I had 6
I saw most people stopped at step 5 above, before getting this far because they haven't pressed the left Options button to enable them to enter SHA256 OFF command.
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure where to enter the NW lock NV Data INITIALLIZ text... but maybe someone else can now pick it from here.

Click to collapse
and then:
I typed the "NW Local NV Data INITIALIZE" exactly the way I typed your "SHA256 OFF". After that, I waited a minute and rebooted phone.
So once again: do the SHA256 OFF and then instead of SHA256 OFF, type "NW Local NV Data INITIALIZE", wait a minute and reboot.

[GUIDE][PARTIAL] Unlock Additional LTE bands on Chinese & US variants of OnePlus 3
[GUIDE] [How To] Unlock Additional LTE bands on Chinese & US variants of OnePlus 3 (Band 5 confirmed WORK)
UPDATE 9 : Please use this static nvbk patch for oreo instead, it give more stable results. Credit to : @qhsusb_bulk
UPDATE 8 : : PATCH for OREO is now available https://yadi.sk/d/bQhvMaY23REaXZ]here - credit to BlackzAfiqz
UPDATE 7 :
i gonna try to clean up this thread a bit and give a better instruction, since there are lot of changes since the initial post was created - all previous method and steps now moved to second post
So basically with latest situation, there r few steps you can try to unlock your band.
but before doing so, please READ few sidenotes/conclusion that we manage to gather so far :
1. This step was MADE for and TESTED on MARSHMALLOW, and MARSHMALLOW ONLY
2. The Rmt Storage Patch will still working up to an official N ROM version of 4.0.3
3. This step/trick WONT WORK on OB12 or 4.1.0 - doing so will result in UNUSABLE RADIO or BOOTLOOP - Updated, PATCH for 4.1.x is NOW AVAILABLE in courtesy of @SnowWolf75
4. We only able to (partially) unlock bands THAT ARE AVAILABLE in one or another OP3/OP3T models. If the band is NEVER APPEAR on any of the available models, then currently it's NOT DOABLE. Example : Band 13 is nowhere to be found on any model of OP3, so there will be no support for B13, since there's not enough resources to do so
5. Up to today, there are some SUCCESS STORIES while using the method. Some of them are :
Myself, & @baskaflyfer of course - CN MODEL - B5 B8 UNLOCKED - B3+B7 CA UNLOCKED
@allluke - US MODEL - B3 UNLOCKED post #640

@dapsyra - US MODEL - B3 UNLOCKED post #558
After following the guide, I was able to unlock band 3 in my US model OnePlus3 A3000. See attached images
I did all the steps. My IMEI is intact.
It takes some time for the signal to show up in Network Guru, so be patient.
In Network Guru->Band Locking->LTE, uncheck all the other LTE bands leaving only band 3 checked
Then go to RAT Locking and select LTE. Wait for the signal to show up.
If Network Guru goes to WCDMA, repeat last step.

@band3pls - US MODEL - B3 UNLOCKED post #846
I can confirm my LTE band 3 is working after flashing the new QCN, BUT after flashing the QCN you must reboot and then open QXDM and write 225 to NV item 1878, or else it won't work.
Here are my steps:
First I flashed this: (other/older QCN files posted by @otonieru will probably work too)
https://yadi.sk/d/dKAKorWd3FGTXB
Then I rebooted, and flashed this: (Baskaflyfer's QCN)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1R...ew?usp=sharing
Then I rebooted again, and flashed this: (Baskflyfer's fbrx file)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1R...ew?usp=sharing
Then I rebooted, wrote 225 in NV item 1878 in QXDM, and finally got LTE signal on band 3 working here in Pakistan on my A3000US.

@kaiserreich - US MODEL - B3 UNLOCKED post #921
I managed to get it to work.
Now I have EU bands on my A3000CN
1. flash rmt_storage via twrp. (first page)
2. restore europe qcn. (first page)
3.restore A3003_eu from post #334 (third step)
4.run qxdm -> nv browser -> find id 1878 and change it to 237 (write).
5.reboot your phone.

So here's what you gonna need :
1. Qualcomm USB DIAG Driver - Find it from post#2
2. QPST & QXDM - sorry but i can't redistribute it here, please look for it yourself
3. Main QCN for base, here : https://yadi.sk/d/E0y_4Ka63GNUdt
4. Extra QCN for fbrx_cal :
A3000_cn
A3000_us
A3003_eu
A3010_cn_3T
5. Rmt Storage Patch - find it from post #2 - For OOS 4.1.x download it from Here
6. Network Signal Guru App from PlayStore
Additional file for OP3T users :
1. OP3T EU QCN - Here
2. OP3T fbrx - Here
Now do the PRE-STEP,
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Flash the RMT Storage Patch according to your OS version, 4.1.x use Snowwolf version, bellow that, use Baskaflyfer version
Next, step is :
1. Opening DIAG - Assuming you got your phone rooted, run this command from ADB
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Now your devices wil either detected as unknown device (or Qualcomm Diag Port/USB Modem if you already have the diag driver) on Device Manager
3. Install the driver from requirement list number one, and you will have "HTC USB Modem" listed in your device manager (skip this step, if you already have your own qualcomm usb diag driver installed)-(remember to disable signature enforcement if you use WIN8/10)
4. Now fire up QPST and go to "Port" tab, and choose "Add New Port" ,
5. On "Serial/USB Port" tab, unchecked the option of "Show Serial & USB...bl bla bla" option, you will see your phone listed there as a "COM#" (# is a number depending on your PC) choose it, and click "OK"
6. Now choose "Start Clients" from the Menu tab above, and choose "Software Download"
7. Airplane Mode your Phone
8. Choose "Restore" Tab, and click browse for QCN file, and look for the QCN you have downloaded from requirement list Number 3 (if you need B3 on your US, use CN QCN, if you need B5 or B8 on your CN Model, use EU QCN. US QCN is still experimental)
9. Check "Allow phone/ESN mismatch"
10. Click "Start" and wait for the process to complete
11. After complete, wait 30 Seconds (for curing time), close QPST and reboot your phone
12. Once it fully boot, open back your CMD and re-run command from step number 1 to re-open your DIAG port
13. Use the "Software Download" function again, and restore the supporting QCN from requirement list Number 4 (choose one according to your needs)
14. Click "Start" and wait for the process to complete
15. After complete, wait 30 Seconds (for curing time), and reboot your phone
16. Once it fully boot, open back your CMD and re-run command from step number 1 to re-open your DIAG port, and make sure it detected on QPST
17. Now Open your "QXDM", choose options tab - "Communications", and choose the port according to your DIAG Port, and hit OK
18. Now choose "View" - "New" - "Common" - "NV Browser"
19. Go to NV ID 1878, and click "Read"
20. According to your needs, change the value. (If you need B3, B5, B8 on CN Model, use 237. If you need B3 on US Model, use 231 or 225)
21. Click "Write"
22. After complete, wait 30 Seconds (for curing time), close QXDM and reboot your phone
23. Run Network Signal Guru, choose "Clear Forcing" from the Tri-dot menu on top right
23. Continue with choosing "Band Locking" and choose only your new unlocked LTE Band. Hit OK, if warning about powercycle appear, just hit OK as well
24. Wait for a while until your phone picking up signal. To make it faster, you might want to lock your network mode to LTE ONLY through *#*#4636#*#* or through Network Signal Guru
That's it, if everything is well, you should have your new LTE BAND working now.
I gonna try to clean up the first post,
so i move all previous update to 2nd post :
[GUIDE] [How To] Unlock Additional LTE bands on Chinese & US variants of OnePlus 3 (Band 5 confirmed WORK)
UPDATE 6 : Based on guidance from Baska, i re-tweak the QCN for more proper IMEI removal, please try again accordingly based on your needs :
WARNING : NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 4.1.0
Based on guidance from @baskaflyfer few posts back
here i upload the new version set of modified QCNs : https://yadi.sk/d/E0y_4Ka63GNUdt
you guys can try again to flash it on your OP3 (still no OP3T at the moment)
Step required would be :
1. Have your Rmt Storage Patched - if havent, flash the storage patch
2. Flash One of the QCN from the zip file, depending on your need, If you are loking for B3, u can try CN or EU model. If you need B5, then use US or EU model, and if you need B4, try to use US model
3. Use QXDM to edit the NV Value of NV item 1878 based on your needs, in my case, to be able to use B3, B5 and B40 i need to use EU QCN and set the id to 237, if you look for B3 on your US Model, u might want to try 225, 231 or 237. Meanwhile if you need B4, you might want to try 232
4. Open Network Signal Guru, and lock the LTE band to the only band you want to test, and wait. It takes quite sometime to get reception. Also make sure you are in area where the band you look for has strong reception.

UPDATE 5 : I managed to create EASY WAY to unlock necessary Bands, - you can skip all the steps in this post, except for the flashing RMT Storage Patch step. Thats the MAIN REQUIREMENT
for the one who need band 3 on the US Model, flash this QCN : https://yadi.sk/d/4Y2lpk5Y3EqYZn
for the one who need band 4, 12, 17 & 30 on CN/EU model, flash this : https://yadi.sk/d/5c8r8Xle3Eqmo8
for the one who need band 5, 8 & 20 on CN/US model, flash this : https://yadi.sk/d/lGURsV523EqqM5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
UPDATE 4 : Thx to Baskaflyfer for his work in separating QCN, now we managed to Unlock Band 5 & 8 and Keep Our IMEI Intact - New QCN for Band 5 & 8 ADDED to Download Section
Update 1 : I reupload the QCN with safety precaution so that you can input your own IMEI to prevent accidental IMEI overwritten
- this solution is no longer working for OnePlus
Update 2 : I found that in order to use Band 3, we need to use A3000CN QCN as base. Meanwhile, if we want to use band 5, 8 and possibly 20, we need to use A3003 base. So please download according to your needs
Update 3 :
Ok,
It seems that Oneplus is using an encryption when storing the IMEI in QCN,
Thus the normal editing method for qualcomm chipset wont work,
This is means that we cant use a full QCN as based,
because even when it successfully unlocked the band, the IMEI mashup will become a problem in a long term use
Instead, we need to take only several parts of the QCN itself to be written later
For now, i will take down the DL link for the QCN first, as it may exposed my or others IMEI accidentally.
Sorry for this, but we gonna need to find a better solution
Good things we can learned is : at least we know that its not entirely impossible

I had confirmed Band 3, 5, 8 and 40 are all workings in my A3000
Another GOOD NEWS is :
@allluke & @koko21341 confirmed that Band 3 is UNLOCKED and USABLE in their US variants
So after trying so many ways (Thx to @baskaflyfer who manage to bring back my courage to tinker on this), simple and hard one to unlock additional LTE Bands on our beloved A3000 to match the one from A3003
also credit to @devilsshadow & @Albirew who bring the initial & original way of unlocking extra bands for us all
and extra thanks to :
Thanks to @BlackSoulxxx for his original work with the Qualcomm baseband software and for the modified OnePlus Drivers
Thanks to @olokos for his original tutorial
Thanks to @fards for finding the diagnostics command that made all this possible
also thanks to this japanese guy here : https://logicalmemo.net/2016/10/19/post-300/ that enlighten all of us regarding the static_nvbk.bin modification so that we can begin to tinker with the NV value on our OP3
I finally (kinda) found a way to unlock more bands
WARNING : Do THIS WITH YOUR OWN RISK, I am not responsible for any harm that can happen during the process of unlocking the LTE BANDS, ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP FIRST
First, what you gonna need to have are :
1. Qualcomm Diag Driver - Here - i mod the HTC driver, you can use your own driver if you have one
2. Marshmallow ROM with DIAG capability (example : mine done on @arter97 CM13, but OOS is perfectly fine)
3. QPST - please find it yourself, i got mine from company, and i wont share link to cracked version here
4. DFS Tool - Here
5. PC (Win 7 64 preferable) with ADB n fastboot driver installed - Minimal ADB Download Here
6. Dedicated QCN for Each Needed Band, Currently we only managed to Get Working QCN for Band 5 & 8 -
Band 5 & 8 QCN - Download Here
7. HEX Editor to insert your own IMEI - Here
8. Unlocked BL & Rooted device with TWRP Recovery Installed - I assume every of OP3 users know how to do this, or kind enough to find the way by themself
9. Network Signal Guru App from PlayStore
10. Rmt Storage Patch Zip (credit to @baskaflyfer) - Here *for Nougat Users & Op3T users, use this one instead : Rmt Storage Patch 4.x --> This (probably) wont work on firmware newer than OB9, latest tested is on 4.0.3
Ok, here we Go !
1. First, copy the rmt storage patch zip from list number 9 above to your internal storage of OP3
2. Boot into TWRP, do BACKUP for your EFS partition, then continue with flashing that zip
3. Reboot into system, and you should get warning about EFS Partition mismatch, ignore or closed that warning (i choose to ignore it forever, so it wont annoy me upon reboot)
4. Now open up your CMD and run this ADB command :
adb devices
adb shell
su (you will get pop up on your phone to give root authorization for ADB, authorize it)
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb (this will open your OP3 diagnostic port)

}
5. Now your devices wil either detected as unknown device (or Qualcomm Diag Port/USB Modem if you already have the diag driver) on Device Manager
6. Install the driver from requirement list number one, and you will have "HTC USB Modem" listed in your device manager (skip this step, if you already have your own qualcomm usb diag driver instaled)
7. Now fire up QPST and go to "Port" tab, and choose "Add New Port" ,
8. On "Serial/USB Port" tab, unchecked the option of "Show Serial & USB...bl bla bla" option, you will see your phone listed there as a "COM#" (# is a number depending on your PC) choose it, and click "OK"
9. Now choose "Start Clients" from the Menu tab above, and choose "Software Download"
10. Airplane Mode your Phone
11. Now open the HEX Editor, and open either the A3003 or A3000CN QCN file (depends on which bands you want to unlock) you have downloaded, and find this entry AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA and replace it with your own 16 digit of IMEI in a HEX format (use online IMEI to HEX converter if you don't know how to do so or use this App : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B09fj-nvjJeodlVaZHdVb29RaHc/view?usp=sharing ) and SAVE AS the file somewhere you can easily find. - this info is obsolete now
For the 2nd IMEI number you can search for 88 00 01 00 26 02 00 00 then the hex after is the IMEI, so you can just replace that with your 2nd IMEI number - Thx to @DarkN3ss61 for the findings
WARNING : WHEN INPUTTING YOUR IMEI, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INPUT THE HEX VALUE OF YOUR IMEI, NOT THE IMEI NUMBER ITSELF, ELSE YOU MIGHT INJECTING A RANDOM IMEI TO YOUR DEVICES
12. Choose "Restore" Tab, and click browse for QCN file, and look for the QCN you have downloaded from requirement list Number 6
13. Check "Allow phone/ESN mismatch"
14. Click "Start" and wait for the process to complete
15. After complete, wait 30 Seconds (for curing time), close QPST and reboot your phone
16. Once it fully boot, open back your CMD and re-run command from step number 4 to re-open your DIAG port
17. After the port opened and detected, open your DFS Tool (downloaded from requirement list number 4)
18 . If it ask for login just close the window
19. You will see your device listed in "Port" tab, double click it to trigger connection
20. Once you see "Device in diagnostic Mode" in DFS log windows, go to "Bands" tab
21. Choose "LTE" Tab
22. Choose "LTE BC Config" on the right side
23. Click "Read" and see, confirm first that u have all the A3003 LTE bands activated, IF NOT, REPEAT STEP 1 to 14
24. If you can confirm that the default Band of A3003 already Opened/activated, now add more bands as you desired - by put a checkmark on it (remember that even if it enabled, your phone need hardware capability to connect - i only managed to try on band 5 & 8, my country has no others band, so please try it yourself and tell us here the result)
25. Once you done, click "WRITE"
26. Wait for the countdown process done, and check the log whether "Operation Completed" or not
27. Once everything is done. Wait again for 30 Seconds, and reboot your phone
28. After it fully booted, turn OFF the AIRPLANE Mode, and wait for the reception - it can take up to few minutes for the radio to get reception
29. Now, open up "Network Signal Guru" that you have downloaded from PlayStore, if it ask for Root Access, Grant it
30. Click the "Magic Wand" at the top bar, and choose "Band Locking"
31. Choose "LTE"
32. Now see, whether Bands you added is there or not. If NOT, CLICK AGAIN on the "Magic Wands" icon, and click "Clear All" and confirm the dialog that appear
33. After step 32, you should see that all Bands were added now !
NOW! Go out and try yourself whether you can manage to get a reception using your new bands.
TIPS : If you are sure that your area has certain bands, you can use "Network Signal Guru" Band Locking menu to disable some bands and only enable the one you want to test to check whether you can get reception or not. I used to disable all except band 5 & 26 to confirm whether the UNLOCK process is WORK or not. And IT WORK (see screenshot on 2nd post)

Logically speaking, step above only can opened up to band 44 on our phone
Rest of the bands would need latest QXDM from Qualcomm, which unfortunately i dont have in my belonging (license is expensive, as u know)

Good job,
but
What can I say, I began my work from this by adding LTE Bands. Here will not work B3 and B20, but will work LTE CA B7+B7 ( hw id are different ). At the moment I stopped on this.
Now I don't have time to explain everything.

I think the key is in flashing clean the QCN of 3003 so we can get the proper config for LTE band,
And using DFS Tool,
Because somehow QXDM cant "bruteforce write" some NV,
Engineer guy from my company said its due to older version of QXDM (we need to buy new one - my company, i mean)
You might want to try again using DFS
After all, its your persistence that encourage me to keep trying

i would, but the place i live has no band 2/4 to test it with. it'd be nice if we can find a generic way to unlock all bands for all models.

Basically you can tick all the bands available in DFS Tool to unlock all band,
It might not work though, since not every band is preconfigured in the radio of the phone,
Thats why i only unlock bands which avail in A3003 model, so that i can get the radio config for that band using the QCN dump.
Theoritically, the one that should work well after unlocked is band 3, 5, 8, 20 and 40

Theoritically, as long as the config for antenna is also there,
Baska used to be able to find band 20 during his experience, so i can say that its achieveable,
Thing i notice is, the phone wont pick up the unlocked band, if you also playing around with the GSM and WCDMA band,
Before, i already managed to unlocked the band, but it wont pick up reception, that is when i still combine it with the NV value mod for GSM and WCDMA
I decided to revert everything back and using A3003 NV value as a base, and then do the unlocking from there,
And, voila, we got lucky !

Crap....yes! you are correct! I dunno why I had Band 20 floating around in my head this whole time. Yes, Band 13 is for USA Verizon (not Band 20).
Step 1: Getting the signal.
First, you need to edit your build.prop and add the lines:
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=3
ro.telephony.default_network1=3
ro.ril.def.preferred.network1=3
Then you must reboot.
Sometimes, you may get the network signal already. But you still need to do the next steps. You also need root.
Open Terminal (Download Material Terminal) and type line by line:
Code:
su
settings put global preferred_network_mode 3
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 3
stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon
Check whether you get the network after this. If you don't make sure you did the steps properly.
Step 2: Making the setting stick
This method requires use of /sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d so it requires Magisk, obviously.
1. Go to /sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d directory
2. Create a file with the name "99ril"
3. Put the following lines in the file:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 240
settings put global preferred_network_mode 3
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 3
stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon
4. Save it and change the permission of the file to 755.
5. Reboot. You should get network signal after few minutes (approximately 4).
6. Done

@Yaseen_the_Gamer
I have an L720, (KK, 4.4.2 - stock NAE/Mdc modem), that I finally got unlocked, works with Tmob sim but for some reason its not picking up the Metropcs sim card. Even Tmob shop said its unlocked and would work. Do you think these settings changes would get it going on Metro? Not my primary device so I can tinker with it, and try whatever... Any suggestions wd be appreciated.
Thx!

You could try it. It is a GSM sim, so it might work through this method.
Would this work on a Sprint S4 L720-T Variant, JDCTeam's 6.0.1 Rom
Would this method work on a Sprint S4 L720-T Variant. Also, using 6.0.1 Rom. See link below.

This tutorial was originally posted by me in here. Thought I would share it to the wider public:
Step 1: Getting the signal.
First, you need to edit your build.prop and add the lines:
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=3
ro.telephony.default_network1=3

Open Terminal (Download Material Terminal) and type line by line:
Code:
su
settings put global preferred_network_mode 3
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 3
stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon
You will get the network after this.
Step 2: Making the setting stick
Method 1 (Not guaranteed to work always):
If you are using an Oreo ROM, this is the detailed procedure and for the users of other ROMs, you may visit similar settings within your ROM:
1. Go to Settings>Network&Internet>Mobile Network>Advanced. Don't do any thing more.
2. Go back to Terminal and enter the same thing as before.
DONE!
You may want to save this code as Favourite Command in Material Terminal options so that you could use it in one tap if network goes away anytime in future. You need to follow the exact steps else settings won't stick after reboot.
Your settings will reset again if you visit the same settings menu(Mobile Network settings) as I told in the steps above. So avoid going into that.
Method 2 (Guranteed to work always):
This method requires use of /magisk/.core/service.d so it requires Magisk, obviously.
1. Go to /magisk/.core/service.d directory
2. Create a file with the name "99ril"
3. Put the following lines in the file:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 20
settings put global preferred_network_mode 3
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 3
stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon
4. Save it and change the permission of the file to 755.
5. Reboot. You will get network signal after a minute.
6. Done

Yes
Thanks. Just to confirm, I'm using an Indian Telecom Operator (Airtel) SIM here in the US. On my previous Custom ROM installs, the phone usually picks up either AT&T or T-Mobile HSPA/3G.
Also, this Sprint phone was unlocked both domestic and international.
Your method would still work? Please let me know.

As long as it is a GSM sim, it will work. Just make sure you follow the steps properly. Also click "Thanks" button if it helped you.
Still no change.
Also, once codes are entered on Terminal Emulator app, is it supposed to do something? After entering the codes, it goes to the next line for me to either enter 'exit' or manually close the app.
One other thing, I found that my Baseband is on NG5 (4.4.2 )and Bootloader is at PL1 (5.0.1). I know it was a requirement on the first page to have the both Baseband and Bootloader over 5.0 but unable to do so. Tried to Odin OD2 both Baseband and Bootloader, did not work. tried with PL1 Modem only and still doesn't stick.

Enter *#*#4636#*#* in dial pad. Then go to Phone Information when the menu shows up. Then from there choose "GSM only" in Set Preferred Network Type. Then go back and again go to this menu. Does the setting change back to same as before or it stays as "GSM only"?

Excellent write-up! Worked perfectly on my 720T, running PACman 5.1.1 with MK5 modem.
Thank you so much for this. My network worked within 1 min. I am using [JDCTeam] Optimized LineageOS 15.1 Version 6.
The steps are also very nicely written for a noob like me. For the permissions (755) it would be Owner check mark for r, w and x; Group check mark for r and x; Public is r and x. Rest is all uncheck.
Here is a list of the networks
Code:
// NETWORK_MODE_* See ril.h RIL_REQUEST_SET_PREFERRED_NETWORK_TYPE
int NETWORK_MODE_WCDMA_PREF = 0; // GSM/WCDMA (WCDMA preferred)
int NETWORK_MODE_GSM_ONLY = 1; // GSM only
int NETWORK_MODE_WCDMA_ONLY = 2; // WCDMA only
int NETWORK_MODE_GSM_UMTS = 3; // GSM/WCDMA (auto mode, according to PRL)**
int NETWORK_MODE_CDMA = 4; // CDMA and EvDo (auto mode, according to PRL)**
int NETWORK_MODE_CDMA_NO_EVDO = 5; // CDMA only
int NETWORK_MODE_EVDO_NO_CDMA = 6; // EvDo only
int NETWORK_MODE_GLOBAL = 7; // GSM/WCDMA, CDMA, and EvDo (auto mode, according to PRL)**
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_CDMA_EVDO = 8; // LTE, CDMA and EvDo
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_GSM_WCDMA = 9; // LTE, GSM/WCDMA
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_CDMA_EVDO_GSM_WCDMA = 10; // LTE, CDMA, EvDo, GSM/WCDMA
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_ONLY = 11; // LTE Only mode.
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_WCDMA = 12; // LTE/WCDMA
int NETWORK_MODE_TDSCDMA_ONLY = 13; // TD-SCDMA only
int NETWORK_MODE_TDSCDMA_WCDMA = 14; // TD-SCDMA and WCDMA
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_TDSCDMA = 15; // TD-SCDMA and LTE
int NETWORK_MODE_TDSCDMA_GSM = 16; // TD-SCDMA and GSM
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_TDSCDMA_GSM = 17; // TD-SCDMA,GSM and LTE
int NETWORK_MODE_TDSCDMA_GSM_WCDMA = 18; // TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_TDSCDMA_WCDMA = 19; // TD-SCDMA, WCDMA and LTE
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_TDSCDMA_GSM_WCDMA = 20; // TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE
int NETWORK_MODE_TDSCDMA_CDMA_EVDO_GSM_WCDMA = 21; // TD-SCDMA,EvDo,CDMA,GSM/WCDMA
int NETWORK_MODE_LTE_TDSCDMA_CDMA_EVDO_GSM_WCDMA = 22; // TD-SCDMA/LTE/GSM/WCDMA, CDMA, and
this helped to get 2g-3g working, but LTE does not work. Under phone info from the dial pad the only way to get connection to work is by choosing preferred network type that Is GSM, but LTE will not work. If I switch to LTE under mobile network settings it automatically switches to sprint attempted connections that will not work. Anyway to get LTE with GSM?
I am using l720t s4 with lineage 16 JDCteam custom rom.

these instructions only work if you have that "band"/signal and it is "consistently stable" in your location. For example, if you are in a mall and underground nothing is going to help you until you get out from underground and can catch constant signal. This solution is more for people that have constant signal availabe but the radio is not "sticking" to the preferred band.
Please how do I force 4g or Lte Only in P30 pro, emui 11.

Hi,
Do exactly as described:
Download Settings Database Editor from playstore and open it
Look for hw_networkmode_preference and edit the stock value "9,6,2,1" to "11"
Restart the device
Open Settings Database Editor
Click on + Add new setting at the top
Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes
Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" Germany. Press save changes
Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 6)
Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" for Germany and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 7)
Restart the device and VOILA!
Now you have access to ALL network modes. Select "LTE" or "4G" for 4G only functionality.
Ex.: 234 (Three UK code)
I tried but it didn't work. Did yours work. Can you send a picture of your network modes after it worked
