How to get unsolicited recruiting on LinkedIn

When I signed up for LinkedIn some years back I was fairly active in making connections, endorsing, etc. I would get contacted from recruiters from good companies fairly regularly even though my profile was mostly blank with just my single company listed without details.
Now that I'm open to getting offers, I'm not getting any contacts. What should I do to get visibility to FAANG recruiters on LinkedIn? Should I have a summary of my resume as my profile? Do endorsements matter? Is it worth the effort or should I stick to company portals and personal referrals?

At this point I don't care if Intel sees it, only squeaky wheels get the grease. Tired of getting the 2% raise because they think I'm not going to leave.
I wouldn't think referrals without actually knowing the person would work well? I do have some former colleagues I have used for referrals for my top couple targets but don't have them everywhere.
