Hello everyone.I have been searching for a solution for myproblem for months but never found any.My problem is that my phone cannot connect to 3g internet , i checked my apns, they are all right , only edge is working (wap).when I go to the network settings and thenmobile network , I try to change the network mode to GSM/WDCMA mode or WDCMA only mode but it just won't do it , itautomatically goes back to gsm mode.I opened mtk engeneering mode and went to the band mode settings , I find that only the gsm mode ( EGSM900 , GSM850) are checked , under it there is UMTS mode which contains the WDCMA but it has a grey color and I cannot tick it.I also tried to change the modem.img file located in system/etc/firmware but it it won't let me as it says that the settings areread onlymy modem.img file name is : modem_1_2g_n.img ( which aprooves what I'm saying 2g edge only)I also tried to fool around with the Maui meta 3g tool but that was beyond my knowledge , it says that target load doesn'tsupport 3g somthing like that.Does my phone really support 3g ? I mean if there are settings It means that it does , and I don't think that it has only 2g because it's an s4 clone , I think that the problem is in the modem.img file , please help me , I really need this , I would have worked with edge only but for my carrier it only supports the 0.facebook , and I need internet on my phone.I hope I have provided enough information. I will provide screen shots if needed.Thank you in advance

Where do you live and what carrier are you using?
If you can't tick it on your stock baseband then your phone doesn't have those frequencies. Many cheap clones are 2g only, but make sure you check both sims. Only one sim will have 3g.
Changing your modem file won't help you BTW.

If it doesn't allow you to select them, then your phone doesn't have 3g. For 2100, you need 2000 as selectable.

Well your baseband doesn't support 3G, but neither does your hardware. Your phone isn't meant to have 3G.

If you need 3G, then you probably need to buy a new phone. If you look in engineering mode and the UMTS modes grayed out/not selectable, it means your phone doesn't have 3G.
