Hi!
So I bought a HTC 10 from Amazon back in May and, even though the product description said it was the US version which had LTE bands for US carriers (specifically 4-AWS), they sent me a M10h, which is the international/asian version that doesn't support band 4. I can't return the phone though, since I'm from Argentina and with the insane customs ruling here, sending the phone to the US and back would cost me almost as much as just buying selling mine (at a highly reduced pricepoint since it doesn't support LTE in my country) and buying a new one.
After a lot of reading here in XDA, paying 25$ to be S-Off, flashing radios, changing roms and kernels, and a bunch of other stuff, I've come to the conclusion that my only alternative left is to change the 06828 NV value (which determinates what LTE bands are activated) with QXDM/DFS tools/whatever program. I've managed to put the phone in diag mode (for those who don't know how, I'll leave a little tutorial in the end of the thread), but when I write the value and then read it again it's back to its original state. I guess this is some kind of protection Qualcomm/HTC/whoever put in place to avoid users messing around with this stuff.
I read in the HTC One M9 forums that users with CDMA phones could change the 06828 value, while I, using a GSM phone, have been able to change 06829. I tried using a Verizon radio, which turns on and off the diag mode for some reason, and a Sprint radio, which gives me a "diag error response" in QXDM when I try to read/write any NV value.
Maybe a custom kernel can help avoid the write protection for NV values? I don't know a lot about that kind of stuff, so it's the only thing that I believe could change my situation
Phone info:
White HTC 10 M10h model
LeeDroid 10 v2.4.1-stable rom with CleanSlate kernel
S-Off and root
Baseband version [email protected]_51.01_F
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who can't make it to Diag Mode:
1) Install the HTC Diag Drivers in your PC
2) Install a terminal emulator in your phone (in my case I used SManager)
3) Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable
4) In the terminal emulator use:
Code:
su
and then
Code:
setprop sys.usb.config diag
5) Now touch on the "Use USB for" notification.
6) If everything worked, the phone should block you from choosing any option in the list besides Charging and USB tethering
7) Choose USB tethering
8) Your phone should appear in the Windows Device Manager as HTC Diagnostic Interface, which means the phone is in Diag Mode
9) To return to the default USB mode, repeat step 4, but replacing setprop sys.usb.config diag for
Code:
setprop sys.usb.config mtp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know any way to make my phone work? Any kernel made from scratch I can try? I'm really desperate.
Thank you all for reading!

Unfortunately, it doesn't. As I can check both trying to use the phone or reading the NV values with DFS tool, the LTE bands remain the same no matter what RUU, radio or whatever I try.

I thought you got your unlocked band 'up and running' not realising you just wanted to accelerate your thread to the top. My bad.

As I have stated in other posts, we need a kernel built from scratch rather than a "custom kernel".
No custom kernel for Sense is going to work for this purpose.
Cyanogenmod technically provides that built-from-scratch kernel that we need., but the trick there is enabling Diagnostic Mode.
You can either flash Resurrection or Beanstalk and try to find a way to activate it.
An idea that could work is messing arround with the init.qcom.usb.rc and init.usb.rc files.
Those files include the triggers for several usb modes (the setprop sys.usb.config line).
The problem for Cyanogenmod is that those files don't include triggers for Diag.
So one way could be to replace them or modifying them.
I'm no coder at all, but to modify those files we need to modify the ramdisk at the boot partition.
If we don't, every modification to these files won't be kept past reboot.
Even achieving it won't assure Diag Mode, but I'm running out of ideas.
This certainly trascends my scarce knowledge
And CM is not at a point suitable for daily driver, so any testing there would be going back and forth between CM and Sense.
So unless we find a way to enable Diagnostic Mode on CM we are stuck.
I ran into the same issue as you. I bought a white 32gb thinking it was all the same, didn't know that it was the m10h.
I had to s-off, and change the CID and MID number to SuperCID and US unlocked MID , then install the latest US RUU to get the US firmware/radios/etc.
Currently on T-mobile, and all I have in my area is Band 12 (which my phone picks up), and I saw it pick up another band, but can't recall what it was. I wanna say that it worked, but I can't verify that my phone is actually reading all of the US LTE bands.
I'm switching to cricket (att) sometime this week. Once I switch over, I can check to see which bands im getting around my home and work
activated my cricket SIM, and I'm currently connecting to band 17.
will drive around town and take notes on what bands i pick up
Sports same issue here, I can't get my phone to work on au network in Japan.

I agree. But I think it could be better to wait for a full port of Cyanogenmod.
Guys over there are making big strides, and maybe they could help us achieving diag mode for CM.
Don't want to bug them with this issue until they are at peace with the full port (and they seem to be really close to the end).
It's sad, but I don't even know how to bake a rom modifying a couple of files.
Even in that case, my idea was to use part of the code of init.qcom.usb.rc and init.usb.rc from Sense.
And introduce it on the init.qcom.usb.rc and init.usb.rc files of CM.
Checking which folders are involved on the code, they are present too in CM.
Which makes me believe that modifying those files on CM could prove enough for DIAG to be activated with "setprop sys.usb.config diag". It's just a guess though.
I'm sure that maybe crpalmer and squid2 could help us with this later.

Instead of using "echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on", we use the setprop type of lines.
They work properly on stock HTC rom. You can enable ADB,MTP, RNDIS, Modem and so on, including the all important DIAG (Diagnostic).
And the reason it's not working on CM is that the presets that enable and disable this kind of command do not include DIAG in any of them.
So you can't use setprop to invoke DIAG, or at least to my knowledge. Would love to be proven wrong here.
Since the presets work in a script fashion, maybe using the line related to DIAG could trigger the mode, I just don't know how to use it.
For E.G, the setprop sys.usb.config=diag does the following on tht init.qcom.usb.rc file (located at root of FS).
Code:
on property:sys.usb.config=diag
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 0
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor 05C6
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct 900E
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_diag/clients diag
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions diag
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 1
setprop sys.usb.state ${sys.usb.config}.
Maybe someone does have a clue of how to use it on CyanogenMod. Which is closer to be a reality so maybe in some weeks we can ask the guys over the CM thread for some help.

No ON or OFF option.

Did you carefully read the entire other thread? Did you see that perhaps there are other "things" you need to do to get to certain menu items... You need to post more detailed info about your device as well. "getprop" and "uname -a" output for example.

Hi EVA yes i red the entire thread, and the "things" i did to try to get to certain menu items was.
1. Unblock the KeyString file with:
echo -n "OFF" > /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
2. Enable the carrier HiddenMenu file with:
echo -n "ON" >/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
What do you thing i Should try next ?
Thank you
This is my getprop !
Hmm, no idea. Your device seem close to identical to mine, except for your being MEO. Did you try this with a different SIM? Is it rooted with SELinux "getenforce" set to Permissive?
Perhaps someone else can help.
I never buy locked phones, so I have no idea how to deal with those issues.
Perhaps connecting using QPST and remove lock. There are probably other easier to use tools out there, but they have some steep learning curve for non-developer or Android skilled people. Continue Google is my only good suggestion, or take it back to shop and say you're going abroad and need an unlocked SIM/phone whatever.
Good luck.

Thanks for the Help @E:V:A
Yes i tried withe a different SIM, still get the unlock code request. When i type sestatus commands i get nothing, but when i type Getenforce i get Enforcing. And i dont know how to change it to Permissive.
Is it easy to use QPST to unlock?
As for the shop they wanna charge me 80 Dollars to unlock...
Btw do you think if i change the MODEM i can unlock it? where is the information about locking sim is? on the firmware modem?
Google is my best friend but im getting out of options.
Thanks once more.

Hello guys!
I have a nice news for any people, who using LS980
Several days i was in meditation about using Sprint LS980 in GSM network with native Android features, like Wi-Fi and bluetooth Internet sharing, and ability to chosing preferred GSM network by hand.
So, i did some research and made small tool, which will help you to get things, we have told about in simple steps
Requirement:
You should be on clean ZVG
You should be rooted
You should enable USB debugging
Lets make a freedom!
1. Plug you smartphone to PC
2. Install latest USB drivers
3. Be sure that
Code:
adb devices
command will return you device id
4. Download simfree.7z and unpack it. exe-file absolutely free from any viruses - i made it via BAT2EXE converter
5. Install Insecure adbd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 and enable insecure adbd daemon
6. Run simfree.exe and allow root-right for adbd on your smartphone screen
7. Your phone will reboot
Enjoy!

simfreefree
Before running the SIMFREE.EXE you should backup:
- /system/etc/apns-conf.xml -- (stock LS980 ZVG here)
- /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
- /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/carrier (/dev/block/mmcblk0p27) -- (stock LS980 ZVG here)
That is if you want to be able to easily undo the changes.
---
If you are wary of MS-DOS batch files wrapped in EXE files performing mysterious actions and want to handle this yourself:
Install these files:
- apns-conf.xml
- carrier.img
Remove this file:
- /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
---
I wonder if the carrier.img packaged with simfree.exe is copy of the carrier partition of a GSM ZVG G2? For some reason the props patch inside of it has the Sprint props file from the stock carrier.img converted to filenames in their own directory. What is *that* about? Odd.
I'm a bit peeved that someone tosses up an EXE without providing any breakdown of what it actually *does*. At close examination it looks innocuous though, but you do never know.
Worked Great!! Cheers!

Does it require root? Could you provide a brief summary on how you did that? Renaming Apps caused a lot or fc`s.

I gave it a try on LG G Flex 2, not working.
Hope you can find solution for that phone.
Thanks

I don't think so, 'cause i don't have LG Flex
Perfect tool, works flawless and can see the much needed tethering options can you shed some light as to how to enable the data roaming onto the stock ZVG ROM as the option is missing...
Unlocked a LS980 Bad ESN with this method, doesn't seems to work. Don't know is Bad ESN device block from all carriers in US or Just for Sprint?
After unlocked, put a T-mobile sim in, but no signal bar.
Yataaaa!!!! It Worked, It Worked
wowowow LG G2 LS980 32GB Sprint, after several nights digging and digging on how to unlock on lollipop update, finally u saved my ass. But network bar keeps dropping, it's on and off but at least calls work, and it's not affected.
Those looking for how to configure APN, Just download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn. to get APN settings for data. this will unveil your hidden apn and allow you to configure data settings.
However i can't change Network Type eg. 2G/3G anytime i try to do that via the radio switcher app, it says 'This Application Does Not Work ON This Device. Please does anyone knows how to fix this?

Hello guys!
I have a nice news for any people, who using LS980
Several days i was in meditation about using Sprint LS980 in GSM network with native Android features, like Wi-Fi and bluetooth Internet sharing, and ability to chosing preferred GSM network by hand.
So, i did some research and made small tool, which will help you to get things, we have told about in simple steps
Requirement:
You should be on clean ZVG
You should be rooted
You should enable USB debugging
Lets make a freedom!
1. Plug you smartphone to PC
2. Install latest USB drivers
3. Be sure that
Code:
adb devices
command will return you device id
4. Download simfree.7z and unpack it. exe-file absolutely free from any viruses - i made it via BAT2EXE converter
5. Install Insecure adbd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 and enable insecure adbd daemon
6. Run simfree.exe and allow root-right for adbd on your smartphone screen
7. Your phone will reboot
Enjoy!

No. The latest OTA update remove the ability to use a custom ROM to use it on a different network
Not try to use different networks want to stay on boost but when if flash from stock to a custom rom there's no data or signal i was hoping that dome one had a working custom rom on boost that could do a back up and send it to me to flash.

Does it mean that if I follow the instruction to root, twrp, Magisk and then bring up the APN menu, I can use the E4 with other GSM carriers? As long as I stay stock?

Having root does not bring up the APN settings menu. You have to actually find the file in the system and edit it manually.

That's what this command does, right?

Can someone confirm that I can turn an XT1766 with latest OTA into a phone that works with GSM and remain stock firmware?
In other words, does editing APN gives stock firmware the ability to use GSM?

I can bring up the ##3282# menu. You mean the lock code for Edit APN? It is a 6 digits number. I wonder if there is a limit on number of attempts? 6-digits is not a terribly large combination.
I have been trying to do this for a while. I have a Nexus 7 and want to enable band 12. I am rooted and have multirom working. Nothing I have tried seems to be working. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Okay, here is an update. I was able to get into diag mode with terminal emulator. I can see the com port in device manager. I installed various qpst and qxdm programs but cannot read all the nv from phone. It only reads to line 04122 WLAN QoS Mode. I am stuck!
I used adb to put it in diag mode, unlocked bootloader and rooted. I have connected in qxdm but still can't read or write. I need to get past this point to do anything. This tablet has a Qualcomm WRT1605L that supports 7 lte bands so I need to disable one (which one?) and enable band 12.
I have seen threads about the Nexus 5, which has the same chip, enable different bands. Help me please.

This is a method I've used on a number of Moto smartphones (Qualcomm chipsets only) to enable various LTE bands, including Band 12. In theory, since the Asus Nexus 7 is Qualcomm based, this method should work. It is my understanding that this works on pretty much any device with a Qualcomm platform. Also, as you likely already know, this method involves some rather tedious procedures involving binary coding within QXDM and QPST. If you are not already familiar with binary coding, it would be well advised to explore the topic before proceeding. The OP does delineate a fairly thorough explanation of this topic. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-enable-lte-bands-surnia-t3351673
It is also noteworthy that you should be running pure stock firmware to avoid any problems. Of course, once you have enabled the desired LTE band(s), you may then install a custom or stock based ROM of your choosing, as the enabled LTE band(s) will remain fully intact and fully functional. However, please note that LTE band support can be incumbent upon a particular ROM and the RIL/telephony configurations in place.

I still get stuck on reading the values from the nv browser. I have tried many different drivers. I think this is the problem. None of the drivers seem to work.

Which of the Qualcomm drivers are you using? And, if you are running Windows 10 - 64 bit, you must enable test signing on your PC or laptop in order to properly install the unsigned Qualcomm drivers. I've seen several people get into a snag over installing the unsigned drivers, and yours sounds like a driver issue... I agree with you there. You will not be able to properly access any of the NV values if drivers are not installed correctly.
I did get the drivers working by typing setprop sys.usb.config diag. Previously I was using setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb and I could read but not write. Now I can change the gsm radio but the lte bands reset to 1,2,3,4,5,13,17. I'm wondering if this is hardware locked. I read that there are filters on the chipset which is Qualcomm WRT1605L.
I tried a custom kernel also without success. Then I flashed 4.3 and rooted, nope. I think it is hopeless.

Ahh, yes -- you are 100% correct. By flashing a factory stock image, which is previous in build to the build number currently on your device, you are thus fully downgrading your stock Android OS, stock kernel, stock recovery, stock modem firmware, etc.
I'm still on the theory that your Q-comm & vCom drivers may not be installed correctly on your PC or laptop. If you are running the Windows 10, 64-bit OS on your computer, you will need to configure a few things first, including the enablement of Test Signing. Here is an excellent how-to guide on installing unsigned drivers on 64-bir Windows 10. https://www.supportrix.com/kb/how-to-install-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-10/
Note: there are two methods listed for authorizing your PC/laptop to install unsigned driver packages. Either method you choose will suffice.
Hey
I recently bought a RN8 (International variant) to replace my old Nokia 5.
The product page claimed that the International variant has 700MHz (B28) band support.
Thing is, when I first fired up my brand new phone, 4G / LTE signal was very poor, compared to my old Nokia, which had a better coverage.
I installed NetMonster and, indeed, 700MHz was not being used.
So I waited one week to unlock and root my phone, which I did today, and wanted to use QXDM to edit the LTE bands configuration.
This is a dual sim with an additional SD card slot (so it has a total of 3 slots).
I'm trying to enable this band by editing the corresponding values with the one I generated with an app, but it didn't work, I can't get this to work.
Do you have any working tutorial for RN8, with Dual Sim card slot ?
Or, do you have any other fixes and workarounds to make that band work (and, if possible, CA) ?
Regards,
busybox
Okay,
I managed to edit the values with QXDM, but it isn't really working.
I tried everything, editing the values to 0, enabling all bands, disabling all bands, disabling only the bands I use, and nothing is working.
I don't know what to do with the "Multi SIM" checkbox, but just in case, I did the same things with this checkbox enabled.
So, I think that this NV edition isn't working, and / or the phone isn't picking it up.
If anyone faced this issue earlier, it can really help me.
I also tried DFS tool put I can't purchase it, I'm stuck with the Demo version (which, by the way, has recognized my settings on the first value, but not on the second, the one that finished by "DIV").
I also read that we can flash another phone's modem partition, if it has the same CPU / Modem (QS665 and X12 in my case), is that true ?
Thanks in advance,
busybox
I did a little research and I saw that the RN8T has the exact same hardware, except that it support 700MHz.
If anyone can backup their Modem and send it to me (preferably with OrangeFox Recovery), this will be very appreciated.
Not 100% sure about this but couldnt you extract the modem driver from willow then? If so, I believe you can download it from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/vendor/willow/

EFS contains the Non-Volatile (NV) memory, which has the unlocked bands list in it.
EFS NV
Thank you busybox11 for your reply, I do now what the EFS and NV are, but was confused by the EFS "thing" you stated that you needed. I flashed note 8T NON-HLOS.bin (TWRP) but it did nothing. I can see my EFS in QPST service programming (some folders have red circle) both QPST and QXDM can "read" my phone but I can't "write" (nv_ue_imei_i---nv_readonly_s error) anything to it.... One thing I noticed in QXDM is that values in are different between LTE BC (2070174761183) and LTE BC DIV (20703078911 which shows band 28) The values are from stock MIUI 11 global, I am on MIUI.EU rom now, I thought maybe it would have band 28 but I get the same values in QXDM.
Did you have any luck with this? I live in a rural area and B28 700mhz is very important! What do you think would happen if I try and flash note 8T ROM or firmware update to my note 8? Or maybe move the NV folder from 8T to my phone? Don't know if that's possible.... I don't want to hard brick my new phone..:laugh::laugh:. Maybe you or someone on this awesome community can give an idea (and tutorial!) on how to get write privileges on QPTS and QXDM!!!
Thank you again!

Same for me. I tried editing the values, took the values from a 8T phone (not from a backup), didn't work.
Tried flashing EFS from an 8T, didn't worked (though I had some bands unlocked showing up in Signal Guru, but B28 wasn't part of them).
I don't even know if I had write privileges, even though my values were edited in QXDM without any error (with AND without Multi SIM enabled), it does not seem to do anything. I tried editing the LTE bands to 0 but it didn't changed anything.
At the moment, try messing around with QXDM (Multi SIM checked or not, click write, then read, then write - it should enabled write privileges - on NV values).
Keep Trying

Bonjour,
I am trying to upload screenshots taken from PC but it looks like I don't have permission yet.... Let me tell you that in policyman I can see global settings "460" and it shows 460-02/04/07/08 all LTE bands my carrier uses, but no B28 witch my carrier also uses. Also I can see restricted bands 6/37/40/41 for China and USA. I see a "svc_mode" says "limited", I think this is permission for service mode maybe?
Also I can't find those files in my phone with root explorer, don't know the path, I canonly see these files with qpst efs explorer inside policyman folder. I don't have acces to a note 8t I do have a ROM but can't extract it yet..I want to extract modem baseband from 8t rom to see what's different. Fingers crossed and we WILL find a way and I think enabling writing to NV with QXDM is the easiest way,no?

Update, This weekend I flashed NON-HLOS.bin from miui_WILLOWGlobal_V11.0.4.0.PCXMIXM_83916e7361_9.0.zip using the following cmd (fastboot erase modem----fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin---fastboot reboot) And even though it did not unlock Band 28 I did notice that my radio signal is better and it solved the wifi to data hand over problem. Before I had to turn off and on airplane mode (and go outside) to force data connection.
This week I might try to flash whole Willow rom 8 (if possible) and see if If that does anything. I still can't get write permissions with QPST/QXDM, I click write and says written, shows changes made when read, but no band 28.....

Hello safi, I don't think flashing ROM will change modem baseband. I have global on note 8 and am also missing band 28 that note 8T has. I am trying to download or extract modem basband from 8T to flash but no luck yet...

Bonjour,
I am trying to upload screenshots taken from PC but it looks like I don't have permission yet.... Let me tell you that in policyman I can see global settings "460" and it shows 460-02/04/07/08 all LTE bands my carrier uses, but no B28 witch my carrier also uses. Also I can see restricted bands 6/37/40/41 for China and USA. I see a "svc_mode" says "limited", I think this is permission for service mode maybe?
Also I can't find those files in my phone with root explorer, don't know the path, I canonly see these files with qpst efs explorer inside policyman folder. I don't have acces to a note 8t I do have a ROM but can't extract it yet..I want to extract modem baseband from 8t rom to see what's different. Fingers crossed and we WILL find a way and I think enabling writing to NV with QXDM is the easiest way,no?

Oh wow! I think you actually found one of the reasons why this isn't working.
So this policyman file is only accessible via QPST EFS Explorer since it is stored in the NV partition (that's why you can't find it with root explorer).
A friend of mine (actually two) are comfortable with QPST / QXDM *AND* have a Willow (8T). I actually grabbed the QCN file from one of them, I can send it to you if you want.
I'm going to ask them if they can send me their policyman file and I'll share it here.
Thanks for the update!

That would be great if you could send QCN for testing! I still can't figure out why write does not work with QXDM. ( Also, QPST shows read only when trying to write) Last night had Xiaomi.eu update and it broke my phone (no audio,wifi or video calls) Maybe because of the willow NON-HLOS I flashed, TWRP results in boot loop back to TWRP when I do nandroid restore! Thanks for reply and help!
hi everyone
i just flashed AospExtended-v7.2-ginkgo-20200607-1329-UNOFFICIAL and the signal is way much better than the official miui rom and the other custom rom as well
maybe there is a fix in that rom ...

It's not about signal quality, it's still great for me. Also flashing a Custom ROM won't improve it, but modem / firmware flash will.
