A large area close to where I live just added 5G coverage. I went there yesterday and could not get a 5G signal at all. I then found this forum post and installed the drivers manually. Still no 5G. The networks is Three UK. I contacted them and they said everything was enabled their end. Interestingly, when I gave my phone make/model to them (OP 8 Pro IN2023) they gave me some instructions on how to enable on the phone rather than tell me it wasn't available.

I noticed that with the OOS 11.0.2.2.IN11BA build, 5G was available as an automatic option. Would this indicate that the drivers are now built in to the latest firmware? Either way, I installed the drivers using this method anyway and it all seemed to work OK, but still no 5G, so I'm guessing that, despite 5G showing on Three's coverage map, it may not be enabled just yet. I am going to another area today (Belfast, UK) to see if it works there.

Note that I have tried both NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA and NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA modes.

Is there an easy wat to see if the phone is actively scanning for 5G coverage? I'm using an app called Network Cell Info Lite which gives me a lot of info on the mast I am connected to. It hasn't once flicked to 5G unfortunately.

I will let you know how further testing goes later today.

irony here is I'm with Three and I get 5G with the Oneplus 8 Pro but the IN2020 model

Is this in the same area? I was out today trying again, this time in Newtownabbey area (near Belfast) and still nothing. I even tried my BT Mobile SIM and still no luck. I don't know what is happening here but it is ridiculous that this isn't supported out of the box.

Is IN2020 the UK model? I bought mine off Amazon and despite it saying nowhere on the description it was an EU model, it arrived with an EU charger. I complained about it and they gave me a nice discount, so I just bought a UK charger and thought no more about it. I didn't think I would have to jump through these loopholes.

Can anyone confirm, was 5G missing completely from the firmware? Reason I say is, before I installed the Qualcomm drievrs using this method, I could set my SIM to Auto 3G/4G/5, so not sure if there is something else going on. Interestingly, I did not have Gcarrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 in my configuration to delete. I presume this is for the second SIM?

It's the Chinese one with EU firmware

I'm soon to be testing how 5G will work with your method (will have to upgrade my plan) but speaking of VoLTE/VoWIFI - I just had to contact my mobile plan provider (Play, POLAND) and ask if they could enable those features on my phone number. Now it just works as intended without playing around with LogKit.

Hello,

OnePlus didn't add 5G to the carrier policy on OnePlus 7 5G , OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8 .

Here is the way to enable 5G on the phones mentioned above OS 11 – Android 11 :

If your OnePlus 8 pro , OnePlus 8 or Oneplus 7T pro 5G is not connecting to 5G in 5G covered area .

# Use single 5G SIM card in number 1 slot.

Follow the steps here:

Requirements:

1- install EngineerMode apk manually on your Oneplus phone:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2pr75mgbtq2xv2e/Engineeringmode_V1.01.0.17.apk/file

2- On your computer you need to have OnePlus driver installed:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/zkua1ob0dzaor09/OnePlus_USB_Driver_Setup.exe/file

3- QPST-application. Please find application from internet:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2nb7d9k4vehvf7m/QPST_2.7.496.zip/file

4- The two XML files with enabled 5G http://www.mediafire.com/folder/4l2vlenf869pu/5G_Carrier_Policy

5- Qualcomm Drivers .
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/5mzfw32i8dlp5/Qualcomm Drivers
(unzip the files to a folder)

6- USB-cable between your computer and phone.

When you finish and ready:

1- Go to Settings on your Phone – About Phone – Click 8 times on Build number .

2- Go back to Settings – Developer option – Enable USB debugging.

3- On your phone, dial *#801# Use EngineerMode then put Engineer Mode Toggle (ON).

4- Connect your phone to your computer via USB.

5- Go to Control Panel – Device Manager .. you will see two an unknow device.

Right click on the first one – Update Driver – browse my computer drivers - Let me pick form a list of available drivers- click on Have Disk ..- show all devices browse then go to the Qualcomm Drivers that you download earlier. Then do the same to the other unknown Driver. choose 9018 for both unknown drivers.

6- Open then QPST-application. Click on Add new port from the right corner. if it shows 2 add them both.

7- On the menu highlight the port which shows the (Phone Model) Open Start Clients then QPST EFS Explorerand wait until you see the files.

8- Then go to policyman.

9- In the policyman - right list, you will see two files: carrier_policy.xml and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01. Copy them to your computer as a backup if you need them in the feature.

10 - Now delete the two files (carrier_policy.xml and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01) files from the policyman - right list.

11- Now go to the tow XML files you already download earlier – 5G enabled network. Copy them to the policymandirectory , drop and drag one each time.

12- Reboot your phone , your 5G is enabled now.

13- Dial *#801# Use EngineerMode then put Engineer Mode Toggle (OFF).

On OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro you may have to enable 5G NR via *#*#4636#*#* then Phone Information -> Set preferred network type. Choose:

NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA

Or

NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA

Enjoy the 5G speed .

Hi, I have a OnePlus 8T, using it with Etisalat UAE. I too face the same problem. Don't get 5G, VoLTE, VoWiFi on my device. You mentioned you too have 8T, is 5G, VoLTE available for you after you made the changes?
I had contacted OnePlus enormous times for this, but their response for getting an OTA update fix for this is very lukewarm.
What software version & model no. you have?
Please help.

Thanks for this. Does anyone know if this will work to connect to the Three 5G network in Ireland? I have a oneplus Nord. Three have told me they are in discussion with OnePlus to get it working but with no timeline.

Hey @jhoon_09, thanks for the awesome work you're putting in for the community!

I did every step as you mentioned, however i couldn't find "carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01" in the policyman list.

So what i did is i deleted the original "carrier_policy.xml" and replaced it with the one you uploaded as instructed. And then added the "carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01" file you uploaded to the list.

After that, because i have a OP 8 Pro (IN2020), i manually enabled "NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" as instructed.

This is how it looks like now: ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇

I can't seem to catch any 5g signal even when the area I'm in is covered.

Any help would be appreciated!

I am sorry to hear that it didn't work for you .

You can install Cell Mapper in your phone to check the signal .

Thanks for your reply!

I downloaded the app and what I'm seeing that is different from the screenshot you uploaded is that my "5g state" is restricted for some reason.

Here's a screenshot:

That could mean your SIM card or contract doesn't have/ support 5G !
so the steps did work with your phone .. because if you tried the app before doing the steps , you will not see 5G at all .

i have an op 8 pro in2023 Europe.
I tried the process and came to the situation that it show in the first line a random number with "?" the number do not iclude 855 in it.
And in the second line it show only "?"
When I run efs I do not get "carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 but only carrier_policy.xml
What to do?

It takes professional people to do all this.
No one can do all this procedure sought 5g service.
ThisThis doesn't happen on any other phone... This doesn't happen on any other phone...
The manufacturer has to find a solution and send a special update to solve a problem
This is the beginning of the fall.

This worked for me - OP8t
Telus carrier

had no 5g after last update, telus has no clue, they dont even know what a oneplus is.

there was no carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 file, so i copied it anyways
replaced carrier_policy file
5g is back

this workaround does bring back 5g, however i think its on oneplus to correct in an update properly
