| Help I Bought S21 by Habiodunz(op): 12:36pm On Oct 05, 2022 |
I bought a UK used s21, apparently its ATnT locked initially but got unlocked One thing I noticed is that I can't change the network mode (4g, 5g, 3g) it's stuck on 5g And also there's no Data Toggle on the status bar, I have to go to settings to switch on data And I can't find the latest OneUI 4 update on it Any help please |

Allison012:Can you guide me please Used a Sammy before but never an unlocked version Is there anyway to force update the OS to the latest version |

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-restore-mobile-data-quick-settings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/ I had same issue when I was using Sammy, the link above was what I followed and was able to fix it. Mind you whenever you update your os or do a patch update you'd have to redo the process again. Best of luck |

Habiodunz:ok let me make this as brief as possible, I'll just go ahead and assume you know about usb debugging and Adb commands. Open CMD and type Settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles Then copy everything that shows, These are names of the icon on your status bar quick shortcut After copying them, type the command again but this time use; settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles Then paste that list you copied and add Mobile data at the end Like this; settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "The list you copied, MobileData" And press enter, That's all. To switch between 2g 3g 4g and 5g Open dialer type in *#197328640# Or *#0011# And look for the option there Hope it helps. |

Habiodunz:What message do you get when you try to update? |
| Re: Help I Bought S21 by Habiodunz(op): 6:58pm On Oct 05, 2022 |

| Re: Help I Bought S21 by falcon01: 7:09pm On Oct 05, 2022 |

Habiodunz:Let me tell you what to do. I don't know how tech inclined you are. Google how to install Unlocked firmware on S21. Then the phone will be like a normal S21 without network bloatware and stuff. |
