Is there a way to acess Service Mode on this variant of the S5? I tried setting shortcuts, using nova launcher, and a lot of other things but dialer codes are turned off. I can't even dial to check the IMEI which is sad. Is there something I'm missing or is root necessary to enable hidden dialer codes? Reason i need to acess service Mode is to change the Network Band to LTE/GSM so I can use LTE on T-Mobile network. When I go to settings, applications, all, I see the IOTSERVICEMODE and Service Mode app on the system

Don't think it's possible. ....I know in "more networks"-mobile networks-settings you can switch between global/lte&cdma/gsm&umts..... but, I think that's the best u can get. ... which isn't what you want at all

I know the S4 had the band's I needed, so the S5 should have it as well. It was a mistake buying the Verizon version, should have bought the T-Mobile version but people these days reporting their phones lost as soon as it's sold, can't really risk it.

You probably need root to do anything but try these dialer codes if you haven't already -


Code:
*#2263#
*#*#2263#*#*

The terminal command below probably needs root to succeed as well. But you might want to give it a try anyway. Install a terminal emulator app from the play store and then try entering:

Code:
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378
