Used the WSRT and the option presented itself. Thank you all.

when I first tried it there was no sim card in and then I tried a wind SIM card that was activated but no luck. I also tried an active rogers sim but still no option, I tried it on cyan and then updated and tried it on denim. Still nothing. I don't know if this matters but when the option...

Thanks for merging the threads. Yeah unfortunately I think you are correct about people not having anything to add towards a solution. I'll try resetting the phone with WSRT and posting results.

I made a new post (this one) because I feel like my old one's title was attracting the wrong (or no) viewers, and I couldn't not see the option to edit the title or remove the thread. - Sorry mods for a nearly duplicate post. <snip>

Re: Why can't I change Network Type on my Lumia 1520 to manual in Field Test Mode? uumm bump?

Yeah I have tried without any SIM card in multiple times. Reset (turn off/on) the phone in between. The first time I tried I had no SIM.

Why can't I change Network Type on my Lumia 1520 to manual in Field Test Mode? If you have a Lumia 1520 in Canada and you want to run it Wind, then you probably have heard of this trick. This trick enables the 1700mhz band 4 for HSPA+ for use on carriers including T-Mobile in the US and...

Tried inserting another active SIM card (Rogers), still no manual option, tried again with active WIND card, nothing still. Any ideas?

Also the first SIM card that I had in it was active.

I have the same problem, very odd. I order Lumia 1520's online and sell on Kijiji for profit. Some people want them to work on Wind mobile, so I do this trick as someone who was buying one showed me. But I had to dig a little deeper as I came across another individual who needed a Wind...
