Not sure that SA is supported yet in any M6 versions. Maybe John can chime in to clarify.
Yes. We disabled 5G SA support in the latest release with the following considerations.
1. Both AT&T and Verizon don't support 5G SA. So the device was not certified by them with 5G SA
2. T-Mobile supports 5G SA, but based on our testing, the device performance in SA mode is poorer than in NSA mode since in NSA mode, the device can use the LTE connections for data transferring.
If you do need 5G SA support to test on provide network, please reach out to me directly. We can discuss how this can be supported.
Thanks

Was anyone able to figure this out?
The function of SA is disabled in the firmware. This is why even if you attempt to do a band lock to SA via manual edit it does not work.
