I have Xolo Era 1X with Spreadtrum chipset. I opened Engineer Mode and selected bands 5 and 40 only and unticked band 3. Now when I try to recheck band 3, band 3 is not listed. What is the fix for this?

"Not all smartphone support all band. its only can be enable that support of a smartphone and mobile operator."

Do you mean that the smartphone frequencies can only be changed to reflect what the carrier is offering? Or can I open up whatever the phone will let me?
