In regards to using this fix on Verizon, does anyone know if I need to have a 5G SIM? The Verizon 5G won't activate on my OnePlus 8T unlocked.
I have the tmo 8t 5g and switched to global rom, can you please send me your file, so I can try it out, thx
Thanks for this (and OP). Worked perfectly on my wife's unlocked KB2005 8T. Using a standard Verizon "4G" sim that's years old from her original Pixel XL. Note the status indicator top right in the picture.

I'm coming from a Canadian provider (Bell) that uses the n66 band using kb2005. After applying the changes to enable 5g I did get the 5G symbol in the notifications and ran some speed tests, these speed tests resulted in lower speeds than on LTE alone. After moving around the neighborhood using cell mapper the 5G state was "Connected" however the speeds remained similar to LTE speeds.
Is this expected or am I too far away from a tower? I did check online and the area I'm in is 5G.
A few things to note also, when I used network signal guru to force the preferred 5g status (nr5g mode) I was not able to find this option to change to NSA/SA not sure if this is also expected?

5G is a protocol. It does not change the laws of physics. N66 only has the bandwidth that it has been licensed to. Although 5G can combine spectrum, allow more devices on the same spectrum better than 4G and is optimized by 20% theoretical, it won't create bandwidth where there is none. As things get built out, service may improve. You've future proof a bit. Most carriers likely do not yet support SA.
Thanks for the quick response, and this makes sense given my experience so far with the enabled 5G. I think it's a matter of time once the infrastructure gets built out more around my area.
when using network signal guru I get this message on "forcing and control features" it says driver not working or unknown error and then under events and signaling, they are both blank screens. Has anyone else got this message and if so were you able to fix it, thx
I bought the OnePlus 7 Pro GM 1917 thinking that it has 5g and this would be a good thing, I could keep using the same phone for years. I don't do much with the phone. Call and text, a little web browsing, music in the car, an occasional game so as long as it can connect I'm good. Then I notice it never connects to 5G, ever. It was one of very few 5g capable devices when I got it, to be fair. Maybe they didn't have information needed to make it work, but it seems like a dirty trick nonetheless. If this works I will be grateful, even if it doesn't I applaud you for the noble effort.
I followed the guide completely and have started to see the 5G icon, but every time it connects the whole mobile network on my Oneplus disconnects..
I know the network supports it since cellmapper shows me 5g connected (albeit for a second or two) and status as un-restricted
Anyone else having this issue or know how I can debug?
P.s I'm using Etisalat that matches the n78 5g band offering of my device

In case of you can, would you send me the newest policyman backup?

我这边尝试了一下。
美版的8T用了之后还是用不了联通5G。
欧版8P用了之后用不了移动5G。。。
It means carrier_policy.xml installed is not compliant with your mobile operator.
Try another carrier_policy.xml file to check if it works or not.
I works, but partially. After reboot it is back to 4G. I noted the following - in the service menu - after every reboot you have to activate again "NR/LTE/..." mode, then the 5G works. After reboot it reverts to the standard LTE setting. The "preferred network type" in phone settings is shown as "2G/3G4G/5G (Automatic)", but this selection is not available in the selection list itself?!
Phone model KB2003, with OS 11.0.8.13.KB05BA, Operator - Telenor Bulgaria.
Any suggestions for a permanent solution (surviving a reboot) or how to enable as well VoLTE?

Install attached files.
After that dial *#800# in stock dialer, choose «engineering mode» -> oneplus_logkit -> «Function Switch» tick «VoLTE switch», «VoWifi switch» and «VT switch».
In cellular settings of your sim card(s) enable VoLTE and VoWIFI.
Reboot device.
Hi,
Many thanks. In my case 5G is persistent after reboot, but offline until I switch between APN: (default) to (custom) and back to (default). Where custom can be anything. I tried to create new APN like default but this is somehow limited on OOS.
Please, if there is a solution for this too, could you please share it to make some other like me happy?
Thank you in advance,
amplatfus
I have the engineering mode apk installed on my phone, by every time I dial *#801# nothing happens.
I have tried uninstalling Magisk, and any root apps I have on the phone to see if that is the issue, but the same thing happens.
Any ideas how I am meant to get this to work.

It also depends on what carrier profile is activated on your device. Maybe the wrong one.Hi,

16Enable 5G and DSS on OnePlus 8TAs you may or may not know OnePlus didn't add proper changes into EFS configs to allow us use 5G on every network in the world. This guide will help you unlock 5G access and DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) and doesn't require root access until you don't want to access 5G in SA (standalone) mode.
I'm NOT responsible to any damage you make to your phone. There's barely any chance to damage anything, but you've been warned.
Requirements:
- EngineerMode apk installed on your phone.
- USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
- OnePlus drivers installed on your desktop.
- QPST app installed on your desktop.
- Qualcomm diagnostic drivers.
Instruction #1 - enable 5G:
- On your phone, dial *#801# > use EngineerMode > enable Engineer Mode Toggle (ON) and connect your device to your Desktop via USB.
- On your Desktop, open Device Manager. You should see two new 'other devices'. Update their drivers by: right click > Update Driver > Browse my computer [...] > Let me pick [...] > All devices > then browse for Qualcom diagnostic drivers you've downloaded & use qcmdm.inf > choose something called 'Android Modem 9018'.
- Open QPST. You should see devices in Active Phones and Ports list. If not: Add new port > add two devices shown in the list. Then: Start Clients > QPST EFS Explorer and select SDX55 device. This may take a few seconds.
- Once you see EFS Explorer go to /policyman, then copy to a separate folder following files as a backup: carrier_policy.xml, carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01.
- Delete those 2 files from the EFS Explorer. Find my corresponding configs and copy them over to the /policyman.
- On your phone, disable Engineer Mode Toggle, disconnect from your PC and reboot.
- Once booted, dial *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > Set preferred network type to NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA. Now you should have 5G NSA enabled.
You can make sure everything is working correctly by using CellMapper app and checking 5G Status. RESTRICTED means your plan doesn't allow you to use 5G, NOT_RESTRICTED means you are too far from the cell, try to move closer, CONNECTED means everything is working perfectly. However, this method isn't ideal - every software update or SIM card change you will loose all modifications.
Instruction #2 - enable DSS:
Dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) provides a very useful migration path from LTE to NR by allowing LTE and NR to share the same carrier.
- Follow 1st and 3rd step from Instruction #1.
- Once you see EFS Explorer go to /policyman and copy lte_feature_restrictions.xml file to your computer - we're going to edit it, so make a backup somewhere.
- Open the file with a text editor of your choice.
These are the networks allowed to use DSS. Now you should go to MCC-MNC and find a proper mcc-mncXML:<plmn_list name="dss_plmns" ns="global"> 228-01 505-01 505-11 505-39 505-71 505-72 204-04 262-01 262-06 204-16 204-20 232-03 232-07 204-04 311-480 240-02 238-06 240-01 206-01 204-08 204-12 204-18 204-69 238-01 238-10 </plmn_list>
codes for your network. Add them to the file as shown above.
Now you should find section looking like this:
And change it to this:XML:<lte_feature name="NR_DSS"> <all_of> <boolean_test name="carrier:dss_is_enabled" /> <serving_plmn_in list="dss_plmns" /> </all_of> </lte_feature>
XML:<lte_feature name="NR_DSS"> <any_of> <boolean_test name="carrier:dss_is_enabled" /> <serving_plmn_in list="dss_plmns" /> </any_of> </lte_feature>
All you have to do now is to save the file, copy it over to the /policyman in the EFS Explorer and copy step 6. and 7. from Instruction #1. And that's it!
Remember: OP8T from different regions with support of the same 5G bands would sometimes not work in the NSA mode in your carrier network because of different ENDC combos and different LTE anchors. Check if your device would support your carrier network at cacombos.com.

I have managed to do it on Android 12. The steps are similar to those described several pages ago, but there are a few extra steps to be taken. Steps to follow:
1. adb reboot ftm
2. Install (in your smartphone) USB Gadget Tool (https://f-droid.org/es/packages/net.tjado.usbgadget/) and check this modes: ( cser.dun.O , diag.diag, diag.diag.mdm , ffs.adb , gsi.dpl , gsi.rmnet , qdss.qdss , qdss.qdss.mdm )
3. adb shell su setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,adb
4. Disconnect and connect your phone usb cable.
5. Go to Control Panel – Device Manager. You will see some unknown device. You should look at the so-called "Oneplus 8T", ignore the others.
Right click on the first "Oneplus 8T" –> Update Driver –> Browse my computer drivers -> Let me pick form a list of available drivers -> Click on I Have Disk -> Show all devices, browse then go to the Qualcomm Drivers that you download earlier. Then do the same to the other "Oneplus 8T". Choose 9018 for both unknown "Oneplus 8T"..
6. Add both ports in QPST Configuration. Only one of them is the one you are going to use. By clicking on EFS Explorer you will know which one it is by seeing X55 Driver in the description.
7. Change carrier_policy and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 files
8. adb reboot

Thanks to @jimmy123322 and @21prods2
Quick response, I might write a proper post with more detailled steps but I don't have the time to do so at the moment.
I assume you already have Qualcomm drivers at hand, QPST installed in your computer, ADB ready and debugging option enabled in your phone. So I followed these steps (the problem of not being able to use Engineer Mode apk is solved with steps 1 to 3, but don't forget to apply step 6 when you finish):
1. adb reboot ftm
2. adb shell
3. setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,adb
4. Go to Control Panel – Device Manager .. you will see two unknown device.
Right click on the first one – Update Driver – browse my computer drivers - Let me pick form a list of available drivers- click on Have Disk ..- show all devices browse then go to the Qualcomm Drivers that you download earlier. Then do the same to the other unknown Driver. Choose 9018 for both unknown drivers.
5. Change carrier_policy XML files with QPST
6. adb reboot2
Just found out that using setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb without rebooting into ftm mode is already sufficient. From there on the steps are the same as already mentioned and everything worked.
Thank you very much !2I can confirm that this guide worked on Verizon in the U.S, at least on the n5 band. However, 5G speeds are still slower for me than 4G. While it may prove more useful in the future, I don't think 5G is mature enough to replace 4G just yet.
