Help I Bought S21 by Habiodunz(m): 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

Used a Sammy before but never an unlocked version
Is there anyway to force update the OS to the latest version

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

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.

Reset factory settings Then try again. Make sure the network is very strong and no interruptions.

Its a UK used so it's unlocked when you buy it
And no you cant update to the latest OS directly

You have to flash the latest OS to it

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.
