How to force 4G only (LTE only) Mode?

[XJSKFJHFKH23]

Can someone help me I am trying to force my Huawei P10 Plus to use LTE/4G only mode. I have latest Firmware/Patch Level.

I have tryed many service codes in format like *#*#.....#*#* codes but I can not set the LTE Only mode.

Isn't it possible without "root"?

It is possible to force "4G only" without root. First download "Setting Database Editor" from playstore. Open it and look for "hw_networkmode_preferences". I use this value "9,3,2,1,11" on my phone. Save it and restart your phone. If you still don't get "4G only" option then you need to open the "Setting Database Editor" again and look for "hw_add_4g_only". Mine was set to "250". You need to change it according to your country mobile code. Look for your mobile country code here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code. In my case I change the value to "250;502" since 502 is my country code. Save it and restart your phone.

Tested on rebranded P10 Plus 256GB.

Thank you very much for your Help! I already installed the DB Settings Editor and found out that hw_networkmode_preferences were already "9,3,2,1,11" so this wasn't the case. Additionally I found that I have to add "hw_add_4g_only" so I added it with the wrong Country Code because I didn't know what the hw_add_4g_only means. I was searching for it a few days now and never got an answer, so I was trying to ask here. And you made it clear now. The Wikipedia Link was very helpful and it works now for my Country. I have to set it 262 for O2 Telefonic Germany.

So again Thank you very very much!

Using Huawei P10 (VTR-L29) 8.0.0.374 (185) solution above works for me too.

Honor 6X is stubborn as heel... Nothing works.
Can't even find the commands... Sigh!
