How To Guide Activate 5G on non-5G Country

[Meroine95]

Hey, this tuto is working for several user to activate 5G on unsupported 5G country by Google.

You need : Rooted phone, 5G Plan, 5G Coverage.

STEP 1 : Install the module on magisk to activate VOLTE and reboot.
STEP 2 : Install Network Signal Guru on the Play Store.
STEP 3 : Click on the 3 dots, Forcing control, select your sim card.
STEP 4 : Click on NR SETTING, and select on Opt2(0x10) and Opt3(0x01) on the ENDC menu.
STEP 5 : Restart the phone, if you are on 5G coverage, it should be working for you.

If your carrier doesn't allow you to select 5G preferred network on settings, you might have to select "NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA" under Preferred network on the hidden *#*#4636#*#*

Of course, you do it on your own risk.

Thanks to Evan for finding it.

Actually worked on Hungary, Romania, UAE, Philippines, China, Thailand, Hong Kong...
Worked on A12 and A13 Beta.

It's beyond stupid that this brand new and undocumented menu was the key. I had previously played around with it and figured it was dangerous since it was difficult to revert.

As a note, T-Mobile US ENDC defaults to 0x11, using both 0x10 and 0x1.

Won't users also have to set NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA in the hidden *#*#4636#*#* menu if their carrier doesn't allow preferred 5G in network settings?

Yeah, I just edited it with your mentions

Without knowing what 0x10 or 0x11 means, we're just guessing.

Overall, I'm not sure if this will enable 5G standalone in addition to NSA. That will definitely require carrier support at the very least.

I don't know is someone can try it in a country with 5G standalone, only NSA network here....

Whoa, this is amazing! I will give it a go when I get some time.

Eagerly waiting for someone to confirm this. I was about to sell my pixel mainly because of lack of 5G

Hey, this auto is working for me on A13 B3.1, Vodafone Romania network.

I'm using my P6P A12 in Hungary Vodafone HU, I did this settings, but my P6P is only sometimes connecting to 5G network. Today I tried to connect to 5G in Budapest where 5G coverage is, but there was no permanent 5G connection, only in a few brief cases. Do you have any idea to solve this problem?

 

[Aiples]

Has anyone live in Thailand and tested this method? Does it work well?.
Also, if I'm root, I still able to use banking app right-0-?
Another question the module mentioned in STEP1 is the one attach to this right

I don't have this issue here, maybe it's a coverage issue ? We should notice that as we don't have a specified carrier file for our carrier (Vodafone HU for you or RO for me), network optimisation can be worse than if we were in a supported country...

Banking app should be working with Zygisk and SafetyNet fix on magisk, you can follow the tuto under "Pass SafetyNet" on the link.
For Thaïland, no one tested yet.

[bush911]

what I was wondering is whether someone can tell me how to handle step 3?
I have finished step 2, but no "Forcing control" avaliable for step 3.
Do I need to pay the app to proceed with step 3.

Thank you in advance
