How To Guide (Updated 5/21/23) How to enable N77 C-Band with 5G UW icon on OnePlus 9/9 Pro 5G (LE2115/LE2125) | Oxygen OS 11-13.1 with Custom ROM support | Verizon

[rmendez011]

@caseyr7 is right! I got a new SIM card from Verizon and I do see a 5G UW icon when in N77 areas, it seems that OnePlus is going to enable N77 officially in one of the next few updates! Excuse the hard to read dark red text, I am running a Substratum theme.

The OnePlus 11 officially supports N77 5G UW on Verizon though? Or has OnePlus not enabled it?

Yea 77 and 78 were not listed, so I did not have to remove them.

However I did have to edit the file to get 5g

OnePlus always takes a few weeks after release to officially enable 5G on Verizon, the 9 Series and 10 Series were the same way, no 5G for a couple weeks then the update released to enable it.

Oxygen OS 13 F.21 is out now! Can anyone confirm whether N77 is enabled? If not does this update remove 5G UW whenever on N77?

What SIM Card were you using? 4G LTE SIM Card? Are you saying we should be able to pickup N77 simply by upgrading to the 5G SIM card?

I haven't apply your hack yet. Will get a new 5G SIM card from Verizon and test it out. (Don't see F.21 update pushing out yet)

I was using a 5G SIM card that I got before N77 launched, so I could connect to N77 by doing my hack, but I could only get the 5G UW icon on mmWave, with the new 5G SIM card, I now get a 5G UW icon when connected to N77, getting a new SIM card will not allow you to connect to N77, you have to do the hack.

Sounds good! You do not need a new Verizon SIM card to connect to N77, you need a new SIM card to get a 5G UW icon, I haven't gotten F.21 yet, Oxygen Updater notified me about the update.

How come your Network Signal Guru shows dual connectivity with NR on the right? I am testing mine on a OnePlus 10 Pro but it only shows LTE B66, althought the 5GUW icon is active and speedtest gives 300mbps down. I don't see n77 whatsoever.

Did you apply the hack or does it work by default on F.21?

Please note I swapped out the SIM from OP9Pro and put it in an OP10Pro. I didn't apply the hack to my OP9Pro.

Please see my other thread in OP10Pro discussion:

Is this real 5GUWB on c-band n77?

I did a speedtest with Verizon (5G Play More Plan), it has 5GUWB sginal bar icon but neither "LTE Discovery" and "Network Signal Guru" shows N77 band active. I am wondering was it onband B66 (LTE? 5G-DSS?) speed or band n77 (not displayed...

@rmendez011 Do you know the answer to this? Is that real N77 or B66?

Network Signal Guru pulls data from the Modem, and by doing so requires root, prior to the release of Oxygen OS 13 on the 9 Series, only Network Signal Guru could see you being connected to N77, post Oxygen OS 13 launch for the 9 Series, NSG, CellMapper, and other similar apps can see which 5G band you're connected to, this is because before OnePlus hadn't enabled broadcasting for 5G, now they do, OnePlus probably hasn't enabled broadcasting for 5G on the 10 Pro, or LTE Discovery can't see 5G data on OnePlus phones, if you root and use NSG it will show which 5G band you're connected to, alternatively, try CellMapper first.

Don't worry, that is real N77, the 5G UW icon is only whitelisted at the system_ui.apk for N77, N78 (I assume, hasn't launched yet), N260, and N261 only (only 9 Pro, and Verizon 8 5G UW), on my OnePlus 9 Pro, LTE discovery doesn't show N77 either, CellMapper on the other hand does, try it on your 10 Pro, it does not require root.

Thank you, indeed, the CellMapper comfirms N77! Without Root.

I'd love to, but I don't use OOS, and QPST doesn't work on custom ROMs (atleast crDroid). I MSM'd then updated to OOS 13, but could not get the device to show in QPST. It showed in device manager, and I updated the drivers for them. Do you have another guide I could try? I'm using a Windows KVM with my entire USB controller passed through, which worked perfectly for MSM.

MSM is the best and safest to use.

Yea no, I never could get QPST to work on Custom ROMs, I'm going to update to F.21 in a bit, I had to MSM Tool my phone because for some weird reason my Microsoft Authenticator was not working, no website was accepting the 2-factor code, funnily enough, trying to add 2-factor to an account would also not work, it would say "wrong code" even though I scanned the QR Code.

This is the reason I was locked out of my Twitter account for 5 weeks thinking it was a Twitter is, once I realized my Amazon, Discord, Mega.nz, etc accounts would not let me login with said codes, I realized it could be game over haha.

I'm tempted to try a custom ROM again but idk, I don't think it's worth it, screen off gestures only work with the screen off, in the ambient screen it just swipes.

I really don't like OOS but I also cannot find a custom ROM I like. I love this phone though. I came from an older iPhone and I've developed jailbreaks and stuff so I like Android due to being able to mod it and stuff. 5G UWB would be great since it's all over near me on the map.

Honestly thinking of switching to T-Mobile. I wouldn't have issues with disabled bands, right? T-Mobile has better coverage in New York.

And yes, I'm on F.21 with Lineage, but I don't seem to be able to connect to UWB, although my mom's iPhone can connect fine. We have the same Verizon plan. What's weird to me is that we're supposed to have mmWave where I am, but I can't connect to that either? Is n260 and n261 disabled aswell?

I might MSM then go back to OOS F.21 to test if UWB works there. I doubt it though since I should be using F.21 now.

Have you tried Nameless ROM? Though I don't think it has N77 or N260/N261 enabled, I only tested it for a limited time. Apparently StagOS has N77 enabled, but again, I could not test it as I had major issues with that ROM.

Yes, the 9 Pro has all T-Mobile bands, however, I don't think you will see a 5G UC icon, who knows, maybe you will, maybe you won't, https://www.mintmobile.com/free-trial/ try this 7-day free trial.

That I don't know, when I tested Nameless I was not in a 5G UW area, so I could not test it, F.21 will have N260 and N261 enabled, F.20 had it enabled as seen here:

N77 I don't know, F.20 had it disabled, but once enabled it showed a 5G UW icon in the status bar, I will let you know if F.21 has it officially enabled.
