Suggestion: You need to activate your SIM before doing this process; if your Jio SIM isn’t activated, check out the process from this article. Follow the following steps for a 4G experience.
- First, download & install the MTK Engineering Mode app on your 3G mobile device.

my mobile is micromax canvas a1 with 3g will jio work??
Yes it will work but only with 3G signal.
I tried it on Redmi Note 3g which has a mediatk processor but I am unable to select the 4g/3g/2g option. Even after clicking on it, it goes back to GSM/WCDMA option. There is no network and it says emergency calls only.
Try restarting the device
I have already tried that. Even in the video that you are sharing it is not getting selected, i goes back to WCDMA (0:32), you haven’t actually shown whether it is actually working or not.
