Android 11 and no 5G (V600EA20c_00_COM1_EU_OP_0219) - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hi all
i upgraded my LG V60 with 3 different android 11, the polish, the VDI italian and the V600EA20c_00_COM1_EU_OP_0219, and all 3 have no 5G.
Is there any solution?
Also, with the 2 first roms, the second screen is detected but does not show up.
Any hints?

More info. With this official rom V600EA20c_00_COM1_EU_OP_0219, the second screen is not detected at all. So it is getting worse ;-)

I found a solution that works
dial this to acces hidden menu:
*#546368#*600#
You have to choose "Field Test", then "Modem settings". You will have here many things you can change. Go to "RAT Selection", it will give you many more options than the ones you find under the regular "Network settings".
I tested here first "LTE(5G NSA) Auto" and it instantly made the 5G icon appear in the task bar! So I then hit the "GSM/WCDMA/LTE(5G NSA) Auto" option. I now have up to 5G automatic network selection!

Thank you for this information. I am on Cosmote network and I tried it but 5G logo didn't appear. For both "LTE(5G NSA) Auto" and "GSM/WCDMA/LTE(5G NSA) Auto" options on Adndorid 10 regions POC, SWC was popping up a window with "success" click ok but on all Android 11 regions SWC, NLD, VDI, TMO was returning a "failed" error. I tried 5G wardriving while commuting to work with Netmonster app, but didn't see any 5G antenna on the list. I'll need to try in city center where I know the 5G coverage is dense but I'm sure there is 5G in my area.
Keep in mind that TM firmware was showing me 5G on 4G network but Netmonster informed me that it is a false positive explaining what's going on. Can you verify you get 5G speeds on speedtest?
Most importantly what firmware did you use?
EDIT: still no 5G on any firmware I tried in my region.

Force 3G 4G only.

Hi , is there anyway to force 3g/4g only on this phone..? I've seemed to try every hidden menu code and nothing seems to work.
The reason I ask this is that I've downloaded a global firmware (171) for this phone and unfortunately my carrier no longer does 2G and when im getting poor 3g coverage it switches to 2g and lose service completely. This never happened on my old carrier firmware as it was setup not to switch to 2g.
I also think it's because I have a single SIM version and this new global firmware is setup for dual Sim.
Anyone got any solutions? Sounds like downgrading firmware isn't a option at the moment...

Hello,
yes, now we finally found a solution.
Do exactly as described:
1. Download Settings Database Editor from playstore and open it
2. Look for hw_networkmode_preference and edit the stock value "9,6,2,1" to "11"
3. Restart the device
4. Open Settings Database Editor
5. Click on + Add new setting at the top
6. Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes
7. Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" Germany. Press save changes
8. Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 6)
9. Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" for Germany and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 7)
10. Restart the device and VOILA!
Now you have access to ALL network modes. Select "LTE" or "4G" for 4G only functionality.
Like this, you have stable Internet nearly where ever you go, without dropping back to overcrowded 2G/3G Networks.
Best,
Stefan
i know this thread a month old but i tried this and 4g only option is there but it also removes all other options which for obv reasons is not good if in a non 4g area, is there a way to add the 4g/3g option .
ps: i found an old thread to add the 3g again but have to manually switch between the 2 options
Hey,
My device updated to the new firmware yesterday and I have lost the '3G Only' option. Is there a way to unlock this?
Apologies if this has been asked before but I can only seem to find the 4G solution. Thanks in advance

I can't send any text messages over any network mode, and to make or recieve calls I had to change modes.

LG Wing 5G Network option activation

Thanks to paolotheking and this thread about an important secret code for the Velvet and other devices:
LG Velvet Hidden Menu code
Enjoy: #*462633*#900# Works with G900EM
forum.xda-developers.com
I could finally activate the 5G network capability of both my LG Velvet and LG Wing, European versions.
I have an Italian (ITC) genuine SIM unlocked Wing LM-F100EMW with latest Android 10 V10k-EEA-XX installed.
If you hit with the phone dialpad this sequence:
#*462633*#100#
it will lead you to a hidden menu where you can find all sort of information and tweaking options.
You have to choose "Field Test", then "Modem settings". You will have here many things you can change. Go to "RAT Selection", "SIM 1 Mode" (if you have only 1 SIM or if it's the one you want to go up to 5G speeds), it will give you many more options than the ones you find under the regular "Network settings".
So I then hit the "GSM/WCDMA/LTE/NR5G" option. I now have up to 5G automatic network selection!
Only issue is that under the regular Mobile Network settings, "Preferred network" states now "26" and if I want to see what other options you have, it only lists the options up to 4G preferred and it will go back to 4G maximum if you choose it. So you have to go through the hidden menu again to activate it.
I also tested that if you power off the phone, 5G maximum stays activated when you power on the phone again, good to know.
You may also try to tweak your 5G bands by selecting them in the corresponding menu "Band Selection" in the "Field Test", "Modem Settings" menu. Some of them might not really work though, as it might be hardware related depending on your model.
Hopefully it can help people finally being able to use the 5G network of their provider with the Wing, Velvet, and possibly other LG 5G phones like the V50(S) and V60. You just have to put your model number at the end of the secret code ...#900# for the Velvet, ...#510# for the V50S ...#100# for the Wing, aso, if I understood it good.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the write-up. I gave it a try on United States Verizon model. It appears that we do not have hidden menu functionality. I typed

In the dialer.
This all look correct?

Interesting, this means that the carrier specific models, for Korea at least, don't offer the Field Test option. We have a discussion in a thread about the V50S eith the same issue (another secret code on this model for the hidden menu).
You can try 5457#*100# that works for the V50S to enter another menu where you can tweak frequency bands, preferred network, etc. The code might be different for the korean Wing / Velvet though. You might have to search the web or xda and try the different codes you find. Just remember to always use the LG dialpad to enter them, it won't work on the google telephone app for example, or at least it doesn't work on the V50S SKT that I have.
Do you have the up to 5G preferred option available under the Network settings? This option is available for the V50S but the problem is more about the 5G frequencies available on this model. It uses the n78 band that we eventually will have here in Europe, but it doesn't have the n28 5G band that is starting to be available in most of Europe. And no way to activate anything from the above mentioned hidden menu.

Code is right, but for the Verizon model probably not. Try to search the web/xda for secret codes on LG Verizon recent models. Usually the last number in the code is your phone model number (100 for the Wing). So change the last number of the code to 100 before trying the code on the wing. And use the genuine LG phone dialpad to enter the code!
Let us know if you find any useful code, it might help other Verizon users.

The code works, the 5g preferred option is also available. However, I still can't seem to get a 5g signal even though all networks in my country are using the n78 band. Is there a possibility that SKT has locked the 5g frequency, even though I could use LTE? This variant also has a dual sim tray but looks like it was disabled.
Has anyone tried flashing other regions firmware using edl mode?

Thanks so much for this Vuche, I was finally able to activate 5g on my phone after months of trying - I had thought it was an issue with my unit or my network.
Why in the world did LG put this behind a secret menu??

Very good question indeed! Maybe they really didn't want us to buy their interesting phones, in order to have a good reason to close down their mobile business...

Hi Vuche,
When I first tried this, it worked perfectly and I was very happy. But recently I was wondering, hmm I've not seen 5g recently, and I realised that whenever I reboot the phone, it reverts to becoming 4g only
Do you have any tips on settings I could change to make it permanent? I'm not sure why it stays after reboot for you, but not for me.
Yes, I.'ve had the same thing happening on both Velvet and Wing, and I think it has started with one or the latest firmware update.
Apparently LG is following our threads here on XDA and really don't want us to have a good experience with their Last mobile phones...

I just dont understand why a phone marketed as 5g, has that option hidden away!!
Do you think there's anything in the hidden menu that could make the 5g function permanent? (I'm not sure how you discovered that menu in the first place?)
It might be that there's some faulty/unfinished hardware used in our phones. Or it's a financial issue, like a licence fee. Whatever the reason, they might unlock everything soon, ...or never!
I use a projector at home (not LG) and I won't buy their TV's anyway. But one answer to their policy could be not buying their other products anymore. They are bad at marketing anyway, so they might die by themselves. Too bad though, they have very creative engineers!

You have apparently an SKT (South Korea Telecom) model. It doesn't seem to offer you the possibility to activate other 5G bands than the n78. In Europe for example, n28 and n78 are usually used by network providers. The n28 is the most commonly used band as it's easy to upgrade from 4G LTE and it works on larger areas. n78 is mainly used in densely populated city as it works on a higher frequency.
But don't worry, 4G/4G+ is still fast enough until they develop the n78 band further out. At least compared to n28 speed.
Possibly unrelated but does this mean I can use an International AT&T unlocked Wing LM-F100VM on TMobile for example? I bought what was claimed to be network unlocked, "just throw in a SIM card and it'll work on any network" but entering the IMEI onto TMO's website and talking to their chat people tell me that basically 5G won't work :-/
International phone working on US networks?
So back in the day I used to bake my own ROM's and whatnot but I haven't done that kind of stuff in years. I finally upgraded from a Sprint SM-N900P Note 3 to an AT&T LM-F100VM LG Wing that I bought off eBay. Took the Wing to T-Mobile today and...

Question 5G not working

I got this oppo and 5G not working (not even an option to select in sim options), i tried 3 different sims, no 5G.
I have the Vivo X Fold and 5G working great.
What can be the reason?
Look for Force LTE in the Play Store, open and select Method 2, then for your band selection scroll to the bands starting with NR.
I don't believe the changes stick after a reboot and I'm not sure we will get 5G speeds but since I have Mint (T-Mobile towers), I selected a band package with NR/LTE/GSM in it. So far I've learned NR=5G, LTE=4G, GSM=2G and I need GSM band for my calls to come through. There are many bands to choose from so play around with it but this was the ONLY way I was able to get 5G to show up in the notification bar on this phone.
Hope this helps!
I've noticed that 5ghz Wi-Fi networks are not detected on my find n no matter what I do. Only 2.4ghz networks show up. Is that normal?

Question How to enable 5g CN version?

I bought a cn version of gt 5g and im in philippines. We have 5g towers and sim but it still shows 4g. And the prefered network doesn't show up. Other phones are working fine. How do I fix this? Thank you.
Set Preferred Network Mode through Hidden Menu
Since the common hidden menu code does not work on our device ( *#*#4636#*#* ), there is another way we must use. 1. Download this app from the Play Store: Force LTE Only (4G/5G) 2. Launch app and choose "METHOD3: (Android 11)" 3. Under Set...

Lg phones g8x, g8, v60, velvet Volte enable for all carriers, unlisted countries also

I will try to keep this post as small as possible.
This will enable Volte for Phone ranging from Lg g8x, g8 and V60 without root or modifying the system files.
Many have posted ways to get it, Iam only trying to help out the small bits missing for enabling on carrier without MBN in the LG phones.
1)First remove the sim from phone and then head to the phone dialer .
2)open field test menu under *#546368#*'your model number'#
3)open IMS setting(If does not open or shows only LG IMS without carrier and country , then insert sim enable universal enabler under field test, create a new config and select the 4 last options and restart phone without sim )
4)back to Field Test, IMS setting enable the below options:
4.1) under subscriber enable for IMS,ISIM, USIM
4.2) Under Xcap\Ut. Under General= enable UT,USSD Over IMS
Under ETC enable 'Check IMS Registration', 'Use rule-ID from response', 'Query on bootup'
4.3) Under GPRI VoLTE/VoWIFi enable VoLTE, ViLTE,VoWIFI,VIWIFI
4.4) Under test : Preference Operator can be set as 'OPEN' or your carrier short name. Really does not make difference for some operator , some do require it to same name as theirs.
Preference Country this is important as this decides if VoLTE gets enabled, Find your country short code example USA is US , India is IN. Find and try different short codes.
Enable:- 'support Volte AT command', VoNR, 'UAC Enabled', 'VoLTE Setting Enabled'
5) Go to Phone settings, Under network , APN settings add APN :-
APN name = ims
APN = ims
APN TYPE = ims
6) Save APN and make sure it shows under the APN names, Head back to field test menu under *#546368#*'your model number'# , open test , IMS setting and the press 'restart IMS process' wait for 1 min or so , see if the VOLTE icon shows up in the top of phone.
Points to keep in mind:
*#4636#*#* wont show registered sometimes, that's ok as long as you can make a call with HD written on calls or , if during the call it is 4g or LTE. provided VOLTE icon shows always on top of phone.
If in case VoLTE disappears at any point, no need to go through all these steps , only need to go to field test, under IMS setting , do 'restart IMS process' .
Vowifi is not confirmed, IF someone does get it please share their Operator name and preference country short name.
Please who ever gets the Preference country code, please share here for others, mention the country name also.
Cosmote Greece - GR, it worked. The only method that my v60 got a volte. Thank you!
Initially i did colincsf and it worked, but after updating to Android 13 and installing a patched modem, IMS settings was empty and I couldn't change settings. Removing the SIM showed the IMS settings option and procceded with the steps above.

Your case you dont have the full service menu , either cross flash to another region prefer europe. Then try the service code and check. I haven't tried on lg v50s .

so the fieldtest/ims option only depends on device country variant and not available on all devices?
Good right up,but won't work with all carriers.Tried this with a unlocked T-Mobile V60 for AT&T and still no VoLTE.Doesn't hurt to give it a shot though!

true but that depends on the carrier also, the country i was in recently , they had 3 carriers tried volte for 2 carrier it worked but the 3rd didn't, tried it on another phone which had default MBN in the firmware, still no VOLTE, understood volte has to be enabled from carrier side and also if they block volte for device specific then , its upto them. Talk to AT&T, have a phone that has VOLTE in the mbn . see if then it works. Also make sure the country code is right, for example you used US for t-mobile, it wont be the same for AT&t, try USA, or something in that line.

in SVC menu, go to MID Info, see if you can modify NT Code. Once NT Code is not matched with stored one, field test menu will appear
in #5 the ims APN won't be saved in my case. But I got "ims" APN list under Field Test-Modem Settings-PDP Setting-APN setting. Still can't get "IMS setting" open, only says "Not supported". "Modem UUID" shows not supported as well. LAOT menu only shows “SIM INFO” option, missing "LAOT Setting" option.

I will try to keep this post as small as possible.
This will enable Volte for Phone ranging from Lg g8x, g8 and V60 without root or modifying the system files.
Many have posted ways to get it, Iam only trying to help out the small bits missing for enabling on carrier without MBN in the LG phones.
1)First remove the sim from phone and then head to the phone dialer .
2)open field test menu under *#546368#*'your model number'#
3)open IMS setting(If does not open or shows only LG IMS without carrier and country , then insert sim enable universal enabler under field test, create a new config and select the 4 last options and restart phone without sim )
4)back to Field Test, IMS setting enable the below options:
4.1) under subscriber enable for IMS,ISIM, USIM
4.2) Under Xcap\Ut. Under General= enable UT,USSD Over IMS
Under ETC enable 'Check IMS Registration', 'Use rule-ID from response', 'Query on bootup'
4.3) Under GPRI VoLTE/VoWIFi enable VoLTE, ViLTE,VoWIFI,VIWIFI
4.4) Under test : Preference Operator can be set as 'OPEN' or your carrier short name. Really does not make difference for some operator , some do require it to same name as theirs.
Preference Country this is important as this decides if VoLTE gets enabled, Find your country short code example USA is US , India is IN. Find and try different short codes.
Enable:- 'support Volte AT command', VoNR, 'UAC Enabled', 'VoLTE Setting Enabled'
5) Go to Phone settings, Under network , APN settings add APN :-
APN name = ims
APN = ims
APN TYPE = ims
6) Save APN and make sure it shows under the APN names, Head back to field test menu under *#546368#*'your model number'# , open test , IMS setting and the press 'restart IMS process' wait for 1 min or so , see if the VOLTE icon shows up in the top of phone.
Points to keep in mind:
*#4636#*#* wont show registered sometimes, that's ok as long as you can make a call with HD written on calls or , if during the call it is 4g or LTE. provided VOLTE icon shows always on top of phone.
If in case VoLTE disappears at any point, no need to go through all these steps , only need to go to field test, under IMS setting , do 'restart IMS process' .
Vowifi is not confirmed, IF someone does get it please share their Operator name and preference country short name.

You sir are a life saver, i have had LG velvet 5g phone since september 2022, but not able to get VOLTE working in india but following your guide i had it working today. I didnt have to do 5 and 6 number option, as soon as i inserted sim to modify network apn settings, volte option showed up on top and i made the first call. please update your title to include LG velvet 5g so it comes in google search as many are looking for a fix on this thread also. many thanks to you as I was not sure what to do with this phone any more. thank you
Thank you so much johndaniel!
As abeykp stated just above, it works on LG Velvet 5G, and in Europe also, finally!
It's maybe a mix of actions with the post below, as I tried it first (it did activate the VoLTE option in the network settings, but was still not working for me):

Hi Guys Am Baljeet From India There Is A Path To Force Enable VoLTE On The"LG Velvet 5G LM-G900" Specifically Your Version Which Is The "LM-G900". By Default This Feature Is Disabled On This Model. Follow These Steps Given Below: A). Go To The...

Now I can call & receive calls in 4G/5G without my network switching to 3G!
I also confirm that points 5 & 6 are not needed, at least on my network in europe. And I used OPEN and EU (it was actually already showing up in the line in IMS settings, but not under Test in point 4.4). I guess you can also use FR, IT, ES, CH, etc depending of the country you live in europe, it works for my country, but I kept EU as VoLTE might keep working when roaming or with another sim inserted.
You can add in your short (but so usefull!) tutorial that you have to insert the sim card before point 5, or you won't be able to get to the APN settings.
And for the LG Velvet 5G, Field Test menu is accessed with code #*462633*#900#
I will test it with my LG Wing 5G and will report if it also works.
Now I still have to get to the Field Test menu on my Korean V50S (sim unlocked STK model). Didn't manage yet to pass start the flashing process to cross flash with the Korean Open firmware, any help welcomed...
Hi, I alo have Korean V50s, does you mean we still don't have Field Test menu? so no way yt to activate VoLTE on our phone?

I don't have access to my V50S right now, but I think I couldn't get the Field Test, probably same model as yours.
Did you test this from darrelama:

in SVC menu, go to MID Info, see if you can modify NT Code. Once NT Code is not matched with stored one, field test menu will appear
----------------------------------------
Let us now if it worked for you.
The only problem I had with the V50S was that it kept going back to 3G when calling, and it didn't have one of the frequencies that is used in my country. So sometimes I was left without being able to take or make a call.
IF only LG would let us unlock all bootloaders freely, now that they left the mobile market...
