Hi there,
I have purchased a Note II GT-N7100 in the philippines and it's locked to Smart mobile.
I have tried downgrading to version 4.1.1 firmware and attempting the *#197326840# code but that doesn't have the menu's as shown in other threads.
I have also tried the galaxy sim unlock app in playstore but that has a message of:
"Device updated to a new lock systemnot supported yet."
and a note on the webpage
"* Please note that due to different hardware, many LTE/4G devices aren’t supported yet. On some SGS3, SGS4 and Note2, a recent rom update brings a new lock system that can't be unlocked yet. Don't leave bad feedback, we’re working on it, but that’s a complex process that requires time and access to locked devices! *"
Does anyone know of any way to unlock these devices for different carriers as I want to switch to another provider...
Thanks in advance for any help
purchasing a New Unlocked Samsung s10 plus SM-G975U1 because i didnt want the bloatware & possibly may switch to different carrier down the road,my carrier is Verizon,just briefly read up on possibly losing some features.
- Wifi Calling
- Real Time Text
- VoLTE ("HD Voice") (Which means data now works while I'm on a phone call)
- Visual Voicemail
Can these all be reinstalled on a unlocked version?Phone comes with Pie 9.Or will i be ok and not lose these.Would updating to Android 10 fix this?

The Android version doesn't matter. As far as I know, you can't get them on the unlocked variant unless you flash a carrier firmware as all that you mentioned above is carrier related. Unless Samsung has put it in the U1 firmware, which I don't think they have.
Is migrating from G975U firmware to G975U1 safe?
Hello friends, how are you?
I have an S10 + / G975U that I got from my father who brought it to me from the USA, originally the device was from the sprint operator, but I paid and unlocked it, everything was removed from the operator and it now works with operators in Brazil, but now I am having an automatic update problem, "The current version of your software is not compatible. Visit a call center" reading this post I thought about migrating to the XAA firmware of the model G975U1, this process will end the problem of updates and had it been clean? can I lose my unlock with this?
I'm sorry if it's not clear, I'm using google translator.
Thanks.
Would it be possible to enable/add n78 (3500) radio support on this device? I have an unlocked SKT variant (LM-F100N). GSMarena however doesn't show n78 on the supported 5g bands, but other sites show it has n78 support.
I'm currently here in the Philippines and it's the only 5g band that all telcos are using afaik.
What app do you use to show what bands are active?
I just look it up on Wikipedia on what are the bands that the local telcos are using. I used GSMArena to check what are the supported bands for LG Wing. It seems like no matter whether SK or international, they all have the same bands
having same issue..Im from the philippines too and my LG wing already have n78 band enabled but still no 5g
There could have Carrier Policy to list networks have allowed use 5G with this device. That is common in most of 5G device have allow list.

If you have rooted you can may edit carrier policy depends how it's made to device and use *#*#4636#*#* menu to enable 5G NR.
Also would be intresting see logs from this device. There is way to get without root https://cacombos.com/contribute -> LG . The Log should have information about supported 4G and 5G combinations of devices and can there confirm if 5G enabled or not.

What you can find under of Debug Screen?
dear XDA " poster " , please find below a link to a page with hypertext and to an application where to browse that sheet for LMF100N [ LG WING variant for KR market ] also supporting " sub6Ghz " radio frequency bands thus compatible with wireless cell networks of a latest generation [ " 5G NR " technology with band n78 too. ]
https://www.piucellulare.it/scheda-tecnica/lg/wing/5g-f100n/ [ google translate might help that website homepage also shows a Eng. version switch at the bottom of the page , footer ]
in connection with LG velvet and wing, our experience instead supports ideas " LGE " develops and deploys firmware, also allowing carriers | operators to select a variant depends on a carrier's brand however in " EU ", some LGE official websites report unlocked " LG variant devices " [ LG devices with no carrier brand ] are compatible with " 5G " wireless cell networks of few carriers only - for instance: LG velvet model we owned had no carrier brand and firmware variant turned the smartphone into a device compatible with " 5G NR " network of select operator of Netherlands only and " KPN " in particular [ the firmware is then enabling few " 5g bands " only and depending on the target market ]
on your " LG WING on SKT network " you may still want to replace firmware and remove carrier brand, you'll be selecting a variant that " unlocks more 5G bands " therefore making your smartphone compatible with a network operator | carrier in your country however firmware variant and version must also eventually match that model marketed in South Korea [ LM-F100N ], in addition you don't want to flash | load firmware that was instead developed and deployed for australia; global or US models of the same device [ Lg WING ]
NOTE:
we include two more links to " pages with hypertext " and websites also listing firmware variants and versions for LG Wing [ LM-F100N marketed in South Korea ] however please also note the size of those files [ .KDZ files ] and the two separate websites are stating very much different file property for those same images for firmware.

I need some help guys. I have the LG V50 thinq 5g but the band is not supported in the philippines (N78). Is there any way to change the band to n78? Thank you
Has anyone successfully tried to convert Verizon edge+ 5g uw (XR2201-R4) to the fully unlocked US Motorola retail version (XR2201-R3)? I found the rom for the US retail version but I'm not sure if flashing that build will brick the phone or if I'll even get access to more cellular bands in the process. I saw forms converting the cn x30 version to global but I'm not sure if it would be possible for the Verizon US variant. I'm trying to also convert the rtos firmware to unlock more cell bands
i have the same phone, and it reminds me of the Lg V30. You had to convert that phone to the US 998 version. But i waited a long time until people smarter than me had figured it out.
Hello,
I will try to keep this short and sweet.
I am on US Mobile using the black sim (verizon towers) and currently have a LG v30 that no longer can make calls due to Verizon shutting down cdma beginning of 2023.
I have my brothers Lg G8 ThinQ phone purchased from US Cellular. It is now rooted and I followed this guide to add LTE support for other carriers:
[GUIDE] [NO ROOT REQUIRED] [EPIC UPDATE] How to add VoLTE support for other carriers to the G8 (and other Qualcomm powered LG devices too!)
This guide will not work if you are running Android 12 :( I'm gonna keep the intro simple, been a longtime user here on XDA, and recently I found that my T-Mobile LG G8 only supported VoLTE and VoWifi on, you guessed it, T-Mobile! So I did some...
forum.xda-developers.com
I used the mbn files provided from the guide and loaded a few of the US carriers. Upon putting in the sim, and trying to change settings to get it to work, I can only get data to work but texting/calling (in/our) does not work at all. When attempting to make a call, the 4G indicator also disapears. I contacted US Mobile thinking it maybe was a APN issue but they stated on their end that the phone is incompatible.
Not sure what else to try. My only hunch is maybe reloading mbn files from a downloaded KDZ but I have no clue if that will work (also to download 5 gigabytes takes a few days for me).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
attached is both the phone info and a snapshot of PDC of it showing VZN got activated on the phone with the sim in it.
EDIT:
For if anyone else comes across this. My solution was to crossflash (using the guide in the LG G8 fourms) the open market KDZ and I went with G820QM30c_00_NAO_US_OP_0103.kdz as I had android 11 already installed and that it was the A11 version download the most from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg820qm-firmwares/
I did have to correct my FTM partition but that crossflashing guide links to some good solutions.
*Note: Only issues that I have seen with the version i flashed is i cant add an APN. The button is just missing so had to install an app to view it, and when receiving gifs, they turn into pictures only. both things I can live without as not volte works on verizon (us mobile).
So, which rom would normally work with that carrier? I'd guess the us open version would work, why not just flash that on the G8? I've no idea what bands us cellular rom supports, but I'd trust the correct rom (for the current carrier) to work rather than following that thread to 'add bands'.
I used that thread once, didn't accomplish what I wanted. Not to say it doesn't work, I didn't try that long. But have flashed numerous roms re diff carriers, that always does what it should re correct bands.
Frankly, I am not sure if my reply will be helpful, and I know nothing about the US Mobile specifically, but just wanted to comment as an owner of a G8 originally from the US Cellular. Feel free to ignore this if it seems irrelevant...
I bought my phone second-hand with an original US Cellular A11 stock ROM. Later cross-flashed it to the Canadian Open when A12 became available. Rooted with Magisk. I am using the phone on the Rogers network in Canada. On both ROMs I have no issues with data, voice and text - everything works, including concurrent voice calls and data usage.
A (possibly) dumb question - have you tried the original US Cellular ROM as is, before diving into the guide to add LTE support for other carriers? Is there a chance that it would just work?
Regarding the previous reply, I couldn't find a US Open ROM available for the 820UM models (only for QM), but you could try Canadian Open, for example. My point is to try and make it work with one of the ROMs as is, without messing with some extra steps that may or may not work.

Yeah, I guess i understood that as being able to add the functionality. But after more research, flashing a different rom is more likely to be the solution, which confuses me about adding profiles if it doesn't truly work?

So yeah, after more research, looks like flashing either the open market or the verizon specific variant would work. I did try it first without any modifications to the us cellular rom but still not everything worked. I have a Lg v30, but few things that are no longer ideal was the recent CDMA discontinuation from verizon at the start of this year, also had recently dropped it and the screen flashes bright white light in your eyes at random times... so lol, not ideal.
What Im probably going to be trying when I get the time is flashing the open market, and if that dosent work, it seems the verizon specific would.
Thanks both for the inputs!
