Nexus 5x issue (Band) - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
While playing around with "Hidden Settings" android app. By mistake the Band was set to 'US Band' after that my phone is not able to recognize any bands in India. I tried various methods nothing worked out (it only shows one carrier IND-JIO):crying:
Any one please let me know how to configure this back and make it operational.
Phone:- Nexus 5x (LG-H790)

[Q] How to connect to hidden WiFi?

Hello xda community!
I have a strange and serious problem: I can't connect to hidden WiFi's.
I'm with a LG G3 D855 10H (no newer versions available).
At work we use a hidden WiFi without password but with Juniper VPN.
When I type in the network name and save it, it tries one time to connect, then my LG G3 shows "not in range". After a few seconds, the WiFi is on the top again with a very good signal.
When I try to connect again, it shows "not in range" again and so on.
I tried it at home and created a hidden network and it was reproducible.
Anyone else has problem with this?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Jake

Now that is what you call a 'special' post!
Would you care to explain how it was resolved for the people that have the problem.
My problem still exists, but isn't urgent anymore.
I found out, Android itself have problems (or restrictions?) to hidden WiFi networks.
I also found an app names HiddenSSID Enabler, but it seems it didn't work for me (or G3?).
If someone has a solution it still would be very helpful fo rme and the rest of the community.

I have logs posted in my first post, WIFI DESTROYED TWICE or there abouts.
I've had to resort to DATA and its killing me haha i think i am getting close to fixing it, well i think i may be closer than you two and can one of you kindly take the lead as im reinstalling windows and i haven't gamed in 6 days :|
/system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcomcfg.ini
then the problem is complex but i am sure it is something to do with gEnableApProt=1
Offshoot fix, reinstall using googled imei number that doesn't have a flag or some how fix the flag <READ A FEW DAYS BACK>
I think actually the program that stuffed me was Airmon by maxters. It asked me if i was pro and of course, i said yes. Who would simply click no? I know a ninj wouldn't click no. I think there is a manual reinstall to link to it again i find the modem in its own partition having a chill, most likely trojan/backdoor and pwning everything around me.. I had three encrypted vpn backdoors and escalated accounts on my computer I paid the 5$ for the binarys, i think i paid 5$ for the back doors.
Not to sell Airmon out though.. Rooting our phones and accessing countless forums and websites really does leave us rather "xposed" some other cuplrits may be dsploit, ROM manager, linux Deploy/kali, Pamn IP scanner, system app remover pro, busybox pro's (Stephen/JRummy) or CMinstall/accessing the forums and trying to install cynagenmod / twrp recovery. I'm probably going to go with..... Airmon/Linuxdeploy or uninstalltool. But may have just been my IP logged and i hit a booby trap script along the way.
You guys done anything of the sort?
/Thread killller
Neither I understand what you are talking about, nor am I (as not native english speaker) good at "sentence guessing".
I have a rooted phone - of course.
But I'm pretty sure my WiFi is not destroyed...

Connects to Guest Networks

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, SGH-M317i (Bell Mobility) and recently installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1). All is running well, the device actually seems to be running much faster...probably due to the lack of bloatware that originally came with it. Sure, I miss some of the "cool" features that the manufacturer had added (ie. hand swipe for screen capture), but overall I am extremely happy with the decision to flash the ROM. Although it does self-identify as a SGH-N7105 now. (About Phone > Device model)
Anyway, I have noticed that when I have my guest networks enabled on my home router (an ASUS RT-N66U running the latest Merlin firmware), my phone insists on connecting to the Guest networks (a2.4 and 5 GHz) instead of my full, "regular" network (hidden SSID, but a "Saved" network in the phone). Even if I go into the WiFi settings and tell the phone to forget those entries, it will still try to connect...even going so far as to say "connected" even though I know it does not have the proper credentials. I have no idea what is causing this as the problem was not present on the stock 4.4.2 KitKat that I had previously.
Sure, I could give it the credentials for those guest networks (all are WPA-Personal protected) but I have restricted those from accessing the intranet as they are primarily for guests who come by, so that is not really a viable option.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems strange that it attempts to connect and save these networks, so technically, I shouldn't have to do anything to keep the phone from connecting. However, since it insists, I had thought that Android would have a native (not requiring an app) method of blacklisting these networks. I have looked at apps such as WiFi Ruler, but again would've thought that there is a manual way of doing this. (I don't know if this is obvious by virtue of the fact that I am running a custom ROM, but the phone is rooted.)
Thanks!
used this code and off your wifi power saving mode and try *#0011# select wifi..u may need need press the botom left button to select wifi
Very odd. It seems that since installing CM12.1, my device no longer accepts or recognizes USSD codes. I guess I hadn't noticed since I had rooted and unlocked it prior to flashing Cyanogenmod over the stock ROM. I did some reading and I found that there is a patch to enable those codes (and SMS) on CDMA models of the Note 2. However, mine is LTE and does SMS, MMS, and it uses LTE without issue.
Here is a link to that page:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/112400-solution-to-sms-and-ussd-code-on-cm121-cm12-cm11-cm10/
Is this something anyone else has experienced? Should I follow the instructions on that page and install the patch?
Again, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, SGH-i317M but since the installation of CM12.1 the About Phone > Device model reports it as being a GT-N7105 with a Baseband Version I317MVLUDNH2.
I'd really like to try the solution to my WiFi problem, so if anyone else has had experience with the USSD codes not working please let me know if there is a solution.
Thanks!
To update my last post:
Some USSD codes do work, I watched the pop ups more closely this time and there is one before the "...invalid MMI code" that says "USSD code running". The main one that find interesting no longer works is the one I had used to unlock my phone *#197328640#. I had figured that it would not have disappeared simply by installing Cyanogenmod. Further, I also followed that thread I had posted the link to a little further, and I'm not comfortable flashing the "patch" it leads to as I cannot confirm it's original source and it does sound like it may be another full ROM.

USA Baseband set on European model. No operator service. Help

I dont want to be accused of spamming the forums, however I want to resolve this problem as soon as possible so...
Could someone enlighten me as to what I can do to restore my phones function as a phone after I so smartly chose to set radio band to USA on my 5x, not knowing that it would be a one-way street affair. I have no phone or operator settings allowing me to change to automatic or global mode or whatever else will allow me to access my mobile network.
People have had such issues before, however, when reading forums from 2013 or whenever, the fixes for those people have not helped me out. Either they are not working or they are phone specific.
This post is just me repeating....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/baseband-error-china-t3238867
this.
But I would really love it if someone could help me out, as I have exhausted my own limited adb, fastboot, google search, reading comprehension knowledge.
Thanks in advance smart people.
Have you tried flashing complete factory image? It should over-write all changes you have made.
If you don't want to do that, flash radio etc separately.
Thanks for showing interest in my issue.
Yes, unfortunately I have flashed all the available factory images and their separate radio components individually and together. To no avail. Also. I installed a rom to see if that might help. Nothing.
It seems that this is an issue that will need a much greater skill set and the use of ceratin tools that I am not versed with.
Qpst, Qxdm and Mztool etc.
Marko
I'd try to enable all the bands that were initially there using the bands value calculator, bear with me on the naming, I haven't seen QPST for a really long time. It would be good if you'd tell us what have you tried already and what's the current state of the phone.

VoLTE and WiFi calling

Hi
I am trying to enable VoLTE and WiFi calling on my Nexus 5x. My carrier supports these features, and as far as I know, Nexus 5x is capable of supporting them as well. My phone is rooted, and runs Pixel 2 ROM which I found on xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/rom-pixelmod-lg-nexus-5x-t3486862). I have Magisk flashed and I just enabled the "VoEnabler" module so that I get the necessary toggles in Settings. They appear, but unfortunately, they do not work. When I check IMS registration in ##4636## (##INFO##) it still says "Not registered". I have learnt that I need to enable a certain "profile" for the Qualcomm radio chip as well, so I downloaded QPST_2.7.460 and managed to see the phone in PDC.exe after installing the correct Qualcomm drivers on my PC, and setting the DIAG PORT to on for the phone by issuing the command 'su; setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb' in a Terminal emulator on the phone. Where I am stuck now, is in PDC, because it only shows me 3 profiles: HW_DEFAULT, SW_DEFAULT and ROW_Generic_3GPP. I read that Vodafone_India, or Telefonica UK, or Telia Finland would be profiles that may work with my carrier and allow my phone to register with IMS, but unfortunately I do not have those in the list. So, my question is, does someone have more experience with this, can I load MBN files for this profiles using the "Load" button in PDC? If so, do files coming from other Nexus 5x, or even other phones work? If anyone has any experience with this, any help would be grately appreciated.
A little update: I tried with some of the mcfg_sw.bin files from the stock ROM, unfortunately, it just cannot activate for Sub0 and switches back to ROW_Generic_3GPP. Furthermore, I downloaded an LG G4 firmware, as that phone uses the same chipset, and tried to see the files extracted from the KDZ file usig 7zip, yet none of the "mcfg_sw.bin" files actually appear in PDC so I cannot "activate" it on the phone. Would really appreciate someone with a bit of experience to guide me on this one.
Thank you very much.
PS. Sorry if this is the wrong section, feel free to move it wherever it belongs to.
Your carrier needs to have enabled these features in their network for your phone model, too.
I've found that support for VoLTE is very spotty among custom ROMs. Some don't seem to pay any attention to it, some say they "support" it but it doesn't seem to work. That may be a per-carrier issue. FWIW I'm on Verizon in the USA and CandyROM is one of the few I've found that "supports" VoLTE, *and* it actually works for me, *and* the ROM is actively maintained. So maybe try that one if you're not too attached to PixelROM. I wish this feature was paid more attention by developers, it really makes a big difference in call quality.
The carrier supports it, of course. Do you have the same phone (5x) and run CandyROM on it? Have you got a link for it? I don't see how ROMs really have to do anything special, since they do not touch the radio partition, which is still the one from stock. You just have to add the toggles to the Settings app by editing build.prop, I guess. But I will take a look anyway, maybe it actually works, although my carrier does not support this actual model, I was hoping I couod change the modem config on it and force it to work with WiFi calling and VoLTE.

Yes, I have a 5X, run this ROM, and VoLTE works.

Maybe I'll try it, although I am pretty sure it won't work by default on my carrier, since it has the same default radio which lacks the proper config for my network. That's what I am trying to get, a proper config that will work with my phone, by switching it with Qualcomm PDC.
For Verizon, the necessary config is already in the radio image, of course, and probably gets picked up automatically when the device signs into the network. For Europe, all I see is EE UK...
In the UK the operator EE does support VoLTE for many phones but not for the N5X, even if you've "provisioned" it in your ROM.

US Cellular version

Will there be support for the razr 5G on US Cellular or a version coming? It looks like it should work on their networks but I don't see it on their list of bring your own phones and motorola doesn't say US cellular is a carrier.
Comparing the bands, there is no reason this wouldn't work. You may just have to enter US Cellular APN settings.
Hi thanks a lot for replying, I didn’t know much about the APN but have been reading up. Thanks for comparing the bands, that is what I thought too. I decided to give it a try. I got an unlocked one at best buy, I can return in 15 days if it doesn't work. I inserted the sim and called US cellular. The rep wasn’t able to activate it. Am I stuck? I looked into making an APN, following the link below (can’t post links yet sorry for “dots”). But I can’t edit the default one, or one I add by pressing the plus. All fields other than “name” or “APN” are greyed out. I tried going into airplane mode or doing It without the sim. No change in airplane mode and no access to the APN menu with no sim. It’s okay if It won’t work, though I hoped it would. It’s a pretty slick phone! Thank you again.

US Cellular has a device whitelist that they use, but do not verify the devices that they're activating typically, if you contact one of their customer service reps and tell them that you need to activate your phone and that it's a Pixel 5 Nexus 5 , and be adamant about the fact that the Pixel 5 Nexus 5 , they should be able to activate it for you.
Reporting back, it worked! Thanks a lot. I called in and, as you suggested, we told them it was a pixel 5, the rep said they couldn't activate that (not sure that was true), but asked if it was a nexus 5, which they could activate, so we just said okay and went with it, haha. I didn't need to do anything with the APN. So far it works perfectly. If anyone has specific questions on functions or comparability let me know I will be happy to test.
Thanks to you both for your help, solved!

Great glad to hear it! Are you getting VoLTE?
Yes, I think so. I can’t find VOLTE specifically, but in settings/network & internet/mobile network, there is an option called “preferred network” under advanced. Here you can set to LTE or global. It works under both.
