Thank you so much for offering your help.
Actually, it is not a difficult process to extract that file.
First thing needed is to install QPST and enable the phone serial port.
After that, you need to open a program called EFS Explorer and then extract the files.
You can find a video that explains the process here

After installing the Qualcomm drivers, you will see LG Diagnostic Port, and LG Serial Port in device manager. Manually update/replace the serial port driver with Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9025. Then in the phone hidden menu you have to turn off the diag port under SVC, Port Check Test as shown in the video above. Then it should show up in QPST and EFS explorer

I have all the carrier_policy.xml files, TM VM EA. But I have some questions first. In which country and what is the name of the Carrier? The only reason I'm asking is: As far as I know, nobody in the US has crossflashed (most have been crossflashing the lmv600am) and really been able to get a 5G signal. Yes, I know it may have the 5G moniker on the taskbar but using Netmonster tells a different story, as do other tools. It's 4g masquerading as 5g. For example, on the v50/v60 on tmob network, using b66 shows it's 5g when it really isn't. When you crossflash with a KDZ the efs partition is not overwritten nor should it be because it contains imei info. Any file (carrier_policy.xml as an example) in the efs to be change has to be DL from the efs partition using Qspt, edit, and then reloaded. Show are you really getting a 5g band on your phone??????

I've been trying forever to get this to work with my ATT with stock FW and when crossflashed to EA, and you're right, I think it just doesn't, regardless of fw version installed. I've pulled the EA EFS policy files as well as the ATT ones, modified them, reuploaded and 5G just will not turn on. I've persisted so long because this method worked fine on my V50, however that one is a V500N (korean variant) whereas this is a V600AM (US/ATT variant), so I think that may have something to do with it. Have tried adding MCC-MNC, editing the rf_band lists, all sorts of combinations. I have a feeling that when the sim is inserted the phone doesn't even look at the modified xml files in the EFS partition and just generates it's own with the american models, but this is just speculation.
The other thing I noticed is that when I edit my ftm file to regain my serial number and remove the NT code error, the outer screen on the dual screen attachment works again, but then I lose 4G altogether and revert to 3G without data.
On my V50 all I had to do was add '5G' to some band lists and it worked, however, that unit is not crossflashed and still has stock korean firmware.

Well I can tell you that there's a running discussion on a lot of the points you just made not the least of which is whether or not the modem is being provisioned at activation and if so what exactly and how much.
I have 2 lmv600am which I got off Ebay. Both had been crossed to EA fw when I got them. Since I'm on Google Fi, I went to the AT&T unlocking site and Sim unlocked. I then put my G-Fi sim into 1 of my v60 and sure enough I get a 5G moniker on my taskbar. Now during this time period Tmob is changing their policies on LG phones, mainly since LG is no longer in business. For example, lmv450 no longer actives on Tmob nor any of it's mvno's and I believe the same is happening for all Sprint phones plus all LG non-tmob phones. They're checking by imei.
So it didn't take long and bam, I wasn't even getting a 5g moniker. I call G-Fi and asked, WTF. I was told that G-Fi is now only allowing Google and Samsung phones to activate with 5G services, only 4g for V600am. Once again imei strikes. BTW you can page thru modem protocols here; *#546368#*600#>field test>modem settings>engineering mode to see if you even have the 5g protocol loaded. I use to but now I only have 2g, 3g, hspa and lte.
The only reason I'm bringing all this up is because Carrier Policies are changing with LG phones so It's worth a tech support call/chat with your carrier to see what's what on their side.
The next step would be to use a serious network app to verify what really going on. I think in your area the G-Mon app is being used a lot. I use Netmonster in the US. I saw a screen shot from a guy in Poland, I believe, that thought he was getting 5g only to find out that it was really lte+ 3xCA. He was getting 727.3 Mbps on the DL which is absolutely screaming. That’s faster than 99.9 % of the phones in the US.

Forgot to mention that I noticed that after a fresh flash, the xml files present in the EFS are different before and after inserting my sim.
Interesting but also disappointing to hear about the IMEI checking :/
I've been through hidden menu settings, and depending on which firmware I have installed I can see different bands and modem protocols available/activated, but can still never turn 5G on with my american V60's.
I had so much hope for this handset since firehose was made available!
Which reminds me, I even bootloader unlocked and rooted my crossflashed at&t unit. Successfully install Magisk etc, but couldn't enable r/w on system partition, even after generating and flashing a modified super partition. Something else going on here.
YOU need to check out the v60 group over on Discord.

First off, thanks for tolerating this somewhat noobish post, but I've searched through almost the whole internet trying to find answers.
Alright, so here's the dealio.
Sprint Galaxy Note 3. UICC unlocked via idoneapp, then used on domestic T-Mobile through GCF settings. I want to enable more bands as described in the following links: here and here.
I get as far as Step 9 in the second link. Then, I go to select a port, and it's not there. OK, so I uncheck the "diagnostic port only" check box, and select COM12 which is what my phone is on. No big deal, right? So I go to read/backup my NV and I start it; it only gets to 12% and says "Could not Communicate in Diagnostic Mode"
That's it. I've tried different USB ports, different USB cables, other USB modes on the phone, I even have a custom kernel. I really hope it's something obvious that I'm doing wrong instead of something that's a niche error.
Thanks, guys.
I ended up being able to read the LTE bands with DFS and write them with QXDM. The only thing is that there is no LTE/GSM/UMTS mode on the phone, so it's either LTE/CDMA or GSM/UMTS for now until I figure out if I can flash some other ROM to it to let it use the other bands, cause right now it only wants to look at band 25.
So I've been trying to flash the N900T MI7 modem/baseband on my N900P but I can never get it to flash in Odin. I've been able to put the modem and non-hlos in flash able zips and flash those but it never shows up. I've also tried to dd the files directly but that doesn't work either. Ideas?
I am impressed it's not bricked yet.

So basically what happened was I found a couple other tools to do what I wanted. First was DFS tool. This works well, because it can both read and write bands to the nv of the phone. I forget what the second was, but it could both read and write the raw value of any given value in the nvram. I'll have to dig through my stuff again if you want to know what the second program was. The fact of the matter is that I was never able to get it working right. The phone always looked at band 25 LTE no matter what bands I turned on/off of the phone.
another ?

I never did get QPST to connect to my phone. I think I was able to get it to see the phone at some point, but it would never read anything from it or write anything to it. The program always froze up or something when I tried that. If I could remember the second program I used, I'd share it with you all, but for the life of me, I can't think of it.
Edit: Oh hey, the two programs I used are RIGHT IN MY SECOND POST. lol. Yeah, use DFS tool to read the NV and QXDM to write the NV. It'll save you a whole lot of trouble over doing stuff with QPST.

3G work fine but not 4G, i will install custom Rom and see if it will work.

Well, 3G will work fine without changing anything anyway. All of the bands are already enabled. 4G is the issue.

Flash the MI3 (that's emm eye three) modem and then use the app included in the zip file to find the MSL code. Here's a link to the zip file: http://bit.ly/1oZDO9t
I was not aware that you could change the MSL code with DFS tools. At least I have a Verizon Note 3 now, so I have a lot more LTE bands than the Sprint version does (although I don't care all that much; I think I may switch to the Nexus 6 soon). But yeah, try the stuff in the zip file from the link, and you should be able to
Find your MSL code
Unlock your phone internationally
Use hidden menus
Most of all, have fun! I know for sure this can be very very frustrating a lot of the time, but if you don't have fun, then I don't think there's much profit in trying stuff like this. Good luck!

I have downgrad my phone to 4.4.2, and install custom rom Galaxy-Note-fre3-2.26,
and after using adb and logcat i got my code.
Now how can i activate it for internationally ? i have added all LTE band (3,7,20) but still H+
I will try with QXDM, but i have windows 10 and give me error acces denied.

I just did it with my Verizon Note 3 on Windows 10, so I know it's not a Windows 10 issue. Also, QPST seemed to work with my Verizon phone but not my Sprint phone. Weird. Make sure you're running QXDM as administrator. Also, I unlocked all of the LTE bands in this way but I can't seem to get LTE from my GSM sim card, even by going into the service mode and enabling all LTE bands.

Yes; for LTE i found in hiddn menu, that they use Tri Bands (25, 26 & 41), so for others bands will not work.
I don't know how i can disable this and force it to use bands 3, 7 20.

I honestly couldn't tell you, and I'm not sure how much help I'm going to be in general. I've tried it on both of my Note 3 phones but have had no confirmed success. Sprint especially is the one carrier that sticks out like a sore thumb, and by association, so do their phones. I've had plenty of frustration on that front, that's for sure.

Just one question if have any idea for it
can i install Firmware N9005 using PIT file for N90005 in N900P?
Because when i received my phone(from china) , the first time i see that BaseBand version is for n9005 and phone name n900 but in download mode i see n900p
i think chines have a method to do it

Maybe. Really they have a method to do anything I would advise against trying to do that, although I'm not sure what harm it could do if you can still get back into download mode. I've tried flashing different versions' firmware to the N900P with no success.
Hello, I have a LG G5 RS988. I've been fiddling with custom ROMs a bit trying to get the signal to be stable on AT&T. I had finally given up and was going to just try it stock rooted. I don't remember what order i took these actions, but the end result is that i cannot boot into fastboot mode or recovery mode (TWRP was installed but is now gone).
I believe my first attempt was to wipe -> flash [LG-RS98811d-Flashable.COMPLETE-ARB01]
I think this is where i encountered the bootloops and quit messing with it for a day or so. When i came back to it, i've tried literally everything i can find to do to get it back to stock.
I have used LGUP with the uppercut 1.0.0.0 file to 'upgrade' it back to RS98811c_00_ARB01.kdz or any other .kdz i could find. While i had it in fastboot i had attempted to flash some things, but it eventually wouldn't boot so i set it into download mode. Now i can boot into android 6.XX but i have no access to the fastboot screen. It just shows the battery charging percentage...
Please help.
I've already mentioned this in another thread, but you will have to send this in for repair. Flashing lower KDZ versions even with the same ARB version can hard brick your device. It can be repaired through the 'firehose' method that needs non-free proprietary firehose file, partition xml, and stock mbm/bin images. Or through the JTAG box method which is what I do. This model RS988 is the hardest to repair because it is uncommon unlike the other variants. You won't be able to fix it another way otherwise. Also AT&T blocks LTE access to non AT&T devices especially generic unlocked versions from Huawei, OnePlus, Google, and Xiaomi. Even if you do connect, you'll fall back to 3G/HSPA/HSDPA/HSPA+ when calling or temporary LTE loss, but can reset the radio by toggling airplane mode. If you check your IMEI through them it will show up as generic and you won't get LTE access through their whitelist. You could try to call them and explain this issue, and do insist, you should end up with a higherup tech support person that can add your phone to their list. I haven't tried this since I'm on TracFone an MVNO, so I doubt this will work, but it has for others. This LTE issue also happens for Verizon users, as they only like white-listed phones to use their network.

I've already mentioned this in another thread, but you will have to send this in for repair. Flashing lower KDZ versions even with the same ARB version can hard brick your device. It can be repaired through the 'firehose' method that needs non-free proprietary firehose file, partition xml, and stock mbm/bin images. Or through the JTAG box method which is what I do. This model RS988 is the hardest to repair because it is uncommon unlike the other variants. You won't be able to fix it another way otherwise. Also AT&T blocks LTE access to non AT&T devices especially generic unlocked versions from Huawei, OnePlus, Google, and Xiaomi. Even if you do connect, you'll fall back to 3G/HSPA/HSDPA/HSPA+ when calling or temporary LTE loss, but can reset the radio by toggling airplane mode.

You could expect to pay around $50-70, but do read my dm. Don't purchase remote PC repair methods. They could install malware on your computer, and the USB client redirector may not work for a hard bricked phone.
Hi, i have been trying to find an answer to this after hours of searching i've come up short and confused.
I recently switched from tmobile to verizon, and i paid off my tmobile s9+ and had it sim unlocked. When i put my verizon sim in it, nothing really happens. either it tells me that it can't register on the network or to insert a tmobile sim card.
I have tried using reset and factory reset. I have also tried the method of holding the volume bixby and power and doing a factory reset, then putting the sim in, rebooting, etc. That doesn't work either.
I see several people trying to go from verizon to tmobile, but i haven't been able to find anyone going from tmobile to verizon, and what method i need to do to get this to work, if its possible at all. Any help would be so much appreciated!

Use Odin to flash U1 and then go back to U. Just leave the SIM in. Don't use HOME CSC.

That still may not help, remember Verizon is still CDMA and the T Mobile branded phone does not have CDMA bands activated and they may not even be on the phone, I don't know. Granted band 13 should work fine, being LTE, but could the sim be looking for a CDMA radio and that is why it is not working?

The hardware is identical for all US Galaxy S9 phones. Any bands that may be missing will be resolved by flashing firmware. OP could also just stay with U1 if they want unlocked, and all bands would still be there.

As per Samsung chat support, I've asked if the dual sim version (international) will work with Verizon. I've also asked the rep if I can switch carriers with a locked phone. They said that essentially, all phones were manufactured with the CDMA and GSM band compatibility, it just needs to be unlocked and the US versions will work on any carrier in the US and the international version (dual sim) needs to be unlocked and it will work with any carrier in any country.
That said, it seems that you're just having an unlocking issue - which is good and bad. I hope you figure this out. Try using Odin 3.13, get the CORRECT firmware for U1 or U(VZW) to flash your phone

Only one small correction to what they told you: The 965F (international), will not have CDMA capabilities. That might not be a problem on some US carriers. But if you can't get VoLTE working on VZW with 965F, then you're dead in the water, since you don't have 1x CDMA calling to fall back on. It becomes a data-only device. I don't have experience with it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the VoLTE doesn't work on US carriers. For GDM/WCDMA carriers, you'd probably be just fine with 965F. Even if VoLTE doesn't work, you'd still be able to call.
Hope this helps.

Step 1
Can you find out the exact model number?
For T-Mobile, it will be one of these :
SM-G965UZKATMB (Midnight Black)
SM-G965UZBATMB (Coral Blue)
SM-G965UZPATMB (Lilac Purple)
The U is the important part, as a previous poster explained that the F models do not have CDMA support (forget what that actually means, just know its necessary for verizon)
Step 2
Next, make sure that the carrier version is correct.
Example: SM-G965UZKATMB
BST Boost
VZW Verizon
ATT ATT
USC US Cellular
ACG C Spire
TMK MetroPCS
VMU Virgin Mobile
TFN Tracfone
XAS Sprint
TMB T-Mobile
XAA Unlocked US
SPR Sprint
CCT Xfinity Mobile
Essentially, you need the firmware that starts with SM-G965U and ends with VZW
Step 3
I'm not 100% sure on how to flash from carrier to carrier but there will be a list of directions. You may need to do some research there to see if it will void samsung warranty (aka 'trip knox') or anything like that, if that matters to you. I think only a modified version of Odin will be able to do this.
Download Odin v3.13.1
Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System & Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will wipe your phone)
HOME_CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will NOT wipe your phone)
Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_OXM if you want to do a clean flash and HOME_CSC OXM if you want to keep your apps and data.
Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode with the following button combo: POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
Once in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, preferably using the original USB cable you got with your phone. Odin should detect your device and a blue box will show up with the COM port number.
Do NOT tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F.Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
Click the start button, wait for Odin to say 'PASS'. Once the flash is complete, your phone will reboot.

Hey thanks a bunch, I’ll give this a shot when I get home tonight. It very well may be that the rom I got wasn’t the right one. Other threads I’ve read seemed to indicate that everything was universal now and by having the SIM card in the phone while flashing, it would download the carrier specific stuff automatically. That part at least doesn’t appear to be the case since the phone wouldn’t accept it. But I’ll download some of the carrier specifics and see what happens. Thanks again!
Did you get it to work after all?
Sorry that i forgot to update! I did get it working, but it required a bit more discussion and help on a reddit discussion someone started. I noticed that someone asked this exact question and i pointed him to this thread where he was able to get it working, then helped me with which roms he used, and i got it working as well! I've been using it daily for almost a month now. Thanks so much for everyones help, i hope that if anyone else is trying to do this, between the two threads it can help.

Awesome gigatigga - thanks for getting back. I'm on the verge of trying this. I owe some money on my S9 plus on t-mobile but before i paid it off wanted to make sure all is good.
How are the speeds? Everything working ok? Thanks again! :good::good:
Edit: I was all set to do this and during the signup - I found out that my imei wouldn't work in Verizon's system so they used one from another phone. He advised that if I wanted to pay for insurance, if I make a claim it could be an issue because the imei numbers won't match up. Seemed like a big red flag to me. So I didn't go through with it. Wonder how others are handling this?
I just switched from the ATT firmware to ARF4 on T-Mobile, but it says there is no update available, while the newest T-Mobile update is ARF7. Does anyone know how to get updates OTA?

Can someone help me?
I cannot network unlock a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy 9 plus which has never been active on any plan. When I insert my Verizon SIM card a system notification says "Invalid SIM card. Network Locked SIM card inserted".
I want to bring this phone to Verizon where I have an active plan. I don't have a plan with Tmobile and my friend gifted me this phone. I flashed it to Samsung stock firmware and bought an unlock code from DoctorSim. The code applied successfully however the phone doesn't unlock completely and continues to prompt for the unlock code when I insert the Verizon Sim card. When I called Tmobile they said only a phone active for 40 days on their network can be unlocked using the phone app and that my friend would have to call them to unlock the phone.

Not yet. I have not been able to dump it with patched LGUP and DLL I have tried DLL from "LMQ710MS" which is a Qualcomm chip, "LMQ710BAW" which is a south America QNote+ but seems to be the same phone on the inside. Also tried "LMQ710FA" a south America Q Stylus Plus seems to be same on the inside. both have the MT6750S
I have gotten it to pretend it dumps the phone. It goes through the motions but open any of the files in hxd and they are either full of 00 00 00 00 or have what looks like GPT repeated info in it. I have not been following LG much and this is just for fun for me. I tried to use the Lg download mode tools in python but cannot seem to get a connection I am guessing since they came out in 2016 LG has switched up their protocol. Seems they encrypted the DLL's as well.
I have tried LG Bridge, LG Mobile Support Tool. The logs show the IMEI check fails. I assume it means it is a sprint/boost phone as I know the IMEI is not blacklisted or stolen. But more of they realize it is a boost/sprint unit and block it. I tried every trick I could find I get as far as it says "downloading software" but it just hangs. I am going to try fresh installs after while just to rule it out. I would like to find out if anyone has used any LG tools to do a firmware update or firmware error recovery on a Sprint or Boost phone that is within 6 months old.
The story I heard is Sprint thinks their OTA updates should fix everything there is no reason to release firmware. I sure hope T-Mobile is buying Sprint. It seems is trying very hard to drive down there sell price... I talked to LG, of course, they cannot do anything until one of there techs puts hands on it. I am thinking of just trading it in it is only 4 months old. I just hate to give up or fail. But there is some type of issue with them I highly doubt the person above and myself are the only ones that have had this issue. I know there is at least 1 more person seen them on Lg forums.
If I make any headway or happen across a fix I will update within this thread.

I had the same problem. I just bought a new one from Walmart and returned the busted phone in its stead. Not exactly on the up-and-up, but boost will eat that cost. Is there a way I can extract the KDZ from my phone now? It's the same phone, just with all the bootable slots!

Right on. I try here in a bit. Since my post I've been trying patch LGUP myself. The only is that lack knowledge or brain cells. Its difficult to say the least. The eggheads that know how to do it are not very forthcoming.
Hello,
I have an unlocked Xfinity Mobile device that I bought from Xfinity Mobile. This means that I purchased from them and then paid off the phone in full, allowing it to be unlocked. I can plug in other SIM cards (such as atnt) and have them work fine, which means that my phone is 100% unlocked. However, because Xfinity Mobile is a b*tch, APN settings are still locked for some reason, even when my phone is unlocked. I believe it has to do with the fact that carrier-specific software was installed when I first installed my Xfinity Mobile SIM card. I need to access APN settings to ensure my phone gets full functionality from my new carrier, Visible, which doesn't install any carrier-specific software because it's very new or something like that. Plus, Xfinity Mobile's carrier software doesn't allow me to manually disable 5G functionality (select what bands or whatever I want to use), which I may want to do at some point. I also think the Xfinity Mobile boot load screen is hideous, and I would like to get rid of it.
After searching around, I found out that the best way to do this was to flash U1 software to my phone using Odin with the carrier code XAA or something like that to revert my phone to the original Samsung-bought factory-unlocked state. However, after searching around some more, I found out that to do this, I would have to factory reset my phone and then re-import my apps, data, images, etc., with Smart Switch, which doesn't preserve per-app data. I have way too many apps requiring logins to dig out the passwords for each app and log in again, so I would prefer not to factory reset my phone.
Searching around some more, I found out that it was possible to retain data when switching from U to U1 by selecting the "Home CSC" file instead of the non-"Home CSC" file when flashing with Odin in the respective area where it asks for the CSC file, but this would result in a "Dirty flash" which could brick my phone. Of course, I don't want to brick my phone, so this is kind of a no-go. But, some people did say that using the "Home CSC" wouldn't affect the phone that much, and it was safe to do, but I don't want to put the safety of my shiny phone on the line.
Tl;dr: I want to go from my carrier-locked U firmware to U1 unlocked XAA without losing my data / requiring a restore with Smart Switch. Is this possible?
Both the u and u1 lost the ability to switch lte bands in the June and July updates. The last one that allows changing lte bands is the may update (cvdb etc)

So then the phone is NOT giving you the popup prompt to reboot to apply new carrier settings, when you insert a different SIM? And it still shows all of the Xfinity bloat and their configuration?

No, if I put in an ATNT SIM, it will switch to ATNT software and install its respective bloat.
However, my current service provider, Visible, does not have its carrier software/firmware. Therefore it would make no sense for me to use Visible on Xfinity Mobile carrier software.

No.
I'd rather blow my brains out than have 300 useless apps. Also, the actual data indicator icon thing looks ugly as all hell.
Xfinity mobile is more stock than the other bigger providers regarding bloat and other things; it's just that it doesn't allow APN editing, which is incredibly annoying.
