please kindly help us by sharing your full QCN dump, you can do it in PM, so no personal info is shared,

how to do so :

instead of choosing "Restore" in QPST, choose "Backup" instead, and save/backup your QCN in two formats .qcn & .xqcn (xml)

save it & upload it somewhere and send me and baska the link :)

this way, i and baska can work and comparing the value in US model as well

I could not save it as .xqcn
if you can explain how

@otonieru by using the band 5 band 8 unlock from baskaflyfer my handset A3000CN couldn't connect to band 3 lte anymore, my default provider using this band. Is this also happen to you when you confirm that band 5 and band 8 unlocked.??

I used the qcn provided for band 3 unlocking for the us a3000, and it didn't work. I then checked in dfs and didn't have band 3 unlocked. So i unlocked it, rebooted, yet still I had no band three.
If you think I may have used dfs tool the wrong way - I used it the right way. No point of asking. I already managed to *supposedly* enable bands before.

have you by any chance, changed ROM ? if u ever change rom, you gonna need the rmt_storage to be patch again,

else, anything you do wont written

no,

VoLTE is a whole different matter,

there are a lot of NV values related to VoLTE in our QCN, and each carrier will need different config,

normally the config can be pushed through network, when you connect to your carrier network. but for some carrier, it simply doesnt work,

not to mention, on some ROM, even the IMS_enable (VoLTE will need the phone to be able to connect to IMS, thats the main prerequisite) value is still "0", thus it wont even try to connect to IMS

what carrier are you on? T-Mo ? Jio ?
Wow thanks for your reply. I tried to contact one plus and they said they won't support my carrier but will support another. I'm in Hong Kong. They support China mobile but not sun mobile. I tried to enter engineering mode to enable volte but the option to enable the enhanced 4g never showed. Also tried to fix the apn and add the one suggested by carrier with no effect.

Haven't changed ROM or flashed anything. But I'll try re-flashing the patched rmt_storage and update you guys.

I have done the steps above, but I found my CDMA sim card can't use. When I insert the CDMA sim card, it's still no singal. When I want to change the network settings, my phone restart.
Is there any way to solve this problem? Suppotr CDMA network is very important in China, due to China Telecom still haven't ran a Volte network.
My phone is A3000 Chinese variants.
Thx.

Yes some frequencies don't work, I'm trying to find solution. After the holidays I will test all their achievements. And i'll explain what and how to do.

Op3t a3010

You guys are so awesome! Hope you will fully succeed. I'll get my Oneplus 3T A3010 soon and will be open for any experiment to get Band 20. :good:
Have you tried it yet?

Im holding to purchasing a chinese a3010 just because it doesn't support band 20 which is essential for local carrier.

Correct me if I'm wrong a3010 is 3t chinese right?
