Can I run Fido LTE on Nexus 4?

Hi everyone,
I bought a Nexus 4 few months back for my gf and she has been liking it. It used to work with LTE on Bell but since 4.2.2 I think it is disabled. However, I am looking to buy one for myself now. I am on Fido (Rogers is mother company). Should I expect LTE to work on my Fido with an easy work around like changing the radio baseband?
I will be looking to order a new one tonight.
Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks

I am on Fido and LTE working, use .33 radio and search for the LTE instructions. I am assuming you know how to root and flash radio.

1- I hoped I never have to root a stock version from Google but I don't mind doing it if I have to. What are the disadvantages of Rootin or rolling back to .33 radio? I will have to weigh my options.
2- When LTE worked before the phone had to be set to LTE again upon restart, is that fixed now so it's a permanent change?
3- Is there a ROM that is a basic basic stock image (not like CM Mod) that I can use and yet enjoy the .33 radio?
Thanks

You have to root phone in order to flash old radio. 4.2.2 uses .48 radio, and LTE only works on .33 radio. So this have to be done. Please search around the forum on rooting and enable LTE. Good luck!

Thanks again. Does rooting void the warranty? If yes, is there any way to "unroot"

So, would the "unrooting" make the phone look just like it was never rooted or would Google know regardless?

Yep. Even works for RMAs. I unrooted, relocked the bootloader, and flashed back stock rom on my RMA Nexus 4 to send it back. Google doesn't know.

[Q] Any custom ROMs with an LTE radio built in?

I was thinking about flashing paranoid android but I couldn't find any information on enabling LTE. Do any custom ROMs have an LTE radio by default or do they all require you to flash .33 once the ROM has been flashed? Also, is there a guide for fixing the voice issues during calls with .33 on 4.2.2?
Thanks in advance.

nexus custom roms do not come with a radio built into it. any of the earlier radios will work for lte(.33, .27..). anyways, its time for you to do some reading about enabling lte, read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211618

You can't built a lte radio in a ROM.....I know what you meant but yeah. Lol

I have some questions.

OK so I think I'm getting this phone soon and I have some questions that are new to me. I have a Samsung (LOL I know) but when flashing ROMs it says flash tom gaaps that's it. But for the N4 it says stuff about boot loaders and radios. Are radios the same as modems? And how do you flash a boot loader?

Flashing a bootloader is the same as flashing a rom or gapps. So for the 4.3 update you would flash the rom, gapps, radio and bootloader in recovery

Radios are the same as modems. Handles cell reception, data, sensors and such. A bootloader is what starts the operating system. When a new bootloader and radio come out people will normally make a flashable zip, or you can use fastboot to install either. Installing ROMs is the same as what you mentioned, Flash ROM then gapps.

What radio do you have? I side loaded 4.4 and upgraded radio to .97. The KitKat radio doesn't seem to work well on 4.3. You can find a flashable 4.3 radio (.84) on xda or extract it from the factory image and flash with fastboot (preferred method for me).
Good luck.

Nexus 4 Wifi Not working

I was on 4.4.3 and updated to 4.4.4 and I've tried 4 roms (Parandroid, Slimkat, Purity, and another) and on all of them, I can't even turn the Wifi on, it won't search for any available networks or anything. Cell service works fine and I can get 4G but just now wifi. Anyone have a similar problem? Should I just go back to 4.4.3?

I would try to flash the 4.4.4 radio in fastboot

Could you link me the radio? And is that any different than the .33 radio I flash for 4G?

Ya, it is different. You dont have 4G on 1.03 radio (4.4.4). Anyway try the latest radio and look what happens.
