Is there a root guide for Nexus 7 3G?

I've searched but can't find a definitive guide for rooting the Nexus 7 3G. I've been afraid to use the available tools because of "loss of 3G" issues.
Any help is appreciated.

Can't help sorry but I'm also interested in getting a mod for N7 3G. I want to get USB audio working and being able to charge at the same time, N7 will be used full time in a car.

I unlocked and rooted mine with the Nexus Toolkit. 3G and everything else still works just fine.

I used the sure-fire method: unlock bootloader, flash or boot custom recovery thru fastboot, flash Superuser zip. 3G works fine.

3G stuff ought to be in its own forum :good:

This confirmed to work with the 3g model? I see no reference to it from that thread other then a couple posts at the end asking if it would work. No confirmations.

Does it make any difference where the nexus 7 was bought? I'm in UK and have seen a lot of talk about verizon which I guess is the US. Not sure if there is some customised version for the US out there.

Since it is a nexus device, fastboot works the same as on the wifi variant.
So there is no difference to unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery. And at least for me the recovery of the wifi version worked without problems. But I can't comment on 3g since I'm still waiting for my micro sim. But an old prepaid sim which I cut with scissors to fit was recognized and connected to the network. But without any money on it, I obviously couldn't use it.

[Q] LG G2 D801 (Claro PR Variant) rooting?

Hey guys,
I was wondering, is there any type of root and/or rom for the Claro Puerto Rico variant of the LG G2?
The model is the same as the T-Mobile one, D801. It also has LTE.
Could any of you tell me if the t-mobile root would work, and if so, would a T-Mo rom work too?
Here is some of the Hardware and Software information from the phone:
Hardware Information:
Model Number: LG D801
Memory: 32GB
Software Information
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: JDQ39B
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Software Version: D80110a-AMX-XXX

Use d803 stuff, i. Bricked and fix with laf.image of d803

I'm also curious about this, given as this phone identifies itself as a D801. It would be grand if a T Mobile rom could be installed, given that I could certainly benefit from wifi calling.
Speaking of which, if I wanted to install a custom recovery such as TWRP, I wonder what version I would need to use, the Roger/Wind version (these phones are usually Canadian) or the T Mobile one (as the phone identifies itself as a D801...

Exactly. I'm just waiting for an answer, I wouldn't like to risk it yet and I really dont have money for a replacement :/

Just got to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
download the root files, and follow these instructions. You will be rooted in no time.
so, here are the steps to get root on a Wind Mobile G2.
1) Open root.bat in notepad
2) Do Crtl+F and look for ":ATTTMORoot" without the quotes but include the semi colon
3) a few lines underneath that line where you found ":ATTTTMORoot" you'll see a line which looks like this:
.\adb.exe push g2_security /sdcard/g2_security
4) replace that line with this:
.\adb.exe push ytiruces_1a_d803 /sdcard/ytiruces_1a
5) Save file and close notepad
6) Double click root.bat and follow the instructions as usual.
Then go to playstore and download supersu, done.
For recovery you can download Flashify from playstore and use that to flash the Rogers TWRP wich is the one that works. As for roms, d803 roms are the ones that work, any other variant will have to have a kernel change for it to work. Any more questions feel free to ask

Any idea where can I find the stock rom for this phone? I've searched high and low and came up back with nothing. The closest I got was flashing a Wind mobile stock rom, but since Wind mobile doesn't have LTE, the LTE icon is nowhere to be found (I DO get LTE, but the icon stays at 4G).

Omega, did you try any of the suggestions? and if so, did they work? Planning on installing the D803 Paranoid Android Kit Kat rom if the things they said work
I appreciate the responses, guys, thanks, just need to make sure everything is working before I shoot the gun

Yes PA kitkat works for claropr variant if you use the d803 version. I have used it. As for the stock claro rom it can easily be found through google

Got it already from the previous link you posted, thanks for these anyways! The only reason I want the stock rom is to see if the LTE icon sticks from the stock rom after flashing Clean ROM on top of it; did this on top of the Wind variant rom, and the LTE icon is nowhere to be found (even though I get LTE). Now, if there was a way where I could swap the 4G icon for a LTE one, that would be gravy; unfortunately, the only guides I Seem to find are for deodexed roms :/

I got my G2 from Claro a couple days ago and managed to root it by combining the manual root method by autoprime HERE with the advice @prking07 gave on POST #6
I followed these steps:
1. Download IORoot15 from HERE
2. Extract it to a new folder in your desktop.
3. Open command prompt (cmd) in that same folder. You can do this by typing "CHDIR C:\Users\'Username'\Desktop\'FolderName'" in cmd. **Do not type quotations in the cmd
4. Then on your phone enable developer options and USB Debugging. If you don't know how, watch THIS video.
5. Connect your phone and make sure its drivers are installed. then check if the phone is online by typing "adb devices" in cmd. It shoud show the device's ID.
6. Then follow the commands in the autoprime's manual method that I linked above and on step #2 type "adb push ytiruces_1a_d803 /sdcard/ytiruces_1a"
7. Unplug usb, go to developer options and disable USB debugging. Now disable (OFF) Developer Options. Turn On Developer Options. Enable USB Debugging. Once you've done that, re-plug your usb... IF YOU DO NOT TURN OFF THEN BACK ON DEVELOPER OPTIONS IT WILL NOT WORK!!
8. Finally follow steps 3-8 from the manual method and your phone should be rooted.
Here are some screenshot on how the command prompt looked like and the confirmation that it's rooted. These are basically the steps you have to follow once you open command prompt from the folder.

Thats exactly what I did, and then flashed TWRP with Flashify. I'm using Cleanrom with the Xposed Framework, plus Gravity box and the G2 Xposed app and Nova. Everything is running smoothly.
Btw, Dont flash the Paranoid Android rom or Slimbean. They all have issues, such as grainy camera or Huge battery drain.
Here's what I got til now.

LTE/Reception/I'm an idiot issues

Hey guys having a bit of problems. I tried the LTE enabler since we have it where I live now. I got the zip from a popular thread in the general section, I asked in there but figured this warranted it's own thread. I had no bars, so I switched back to the latest radio and now I'm permanently stuck with zero cell reception of any kind. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, I flashed a new ROM, restored a backup, I even flashed the stock image from Google, and did each piece individually in a terminal, so I know I flashed the radio and I'm STILL not getting any service.
Today, I went into Telus to get a new sim card because I thought that was the problem, but that didn't help at all.
Please don't tell me I'm screwed. And yes I did try the disable zip multiple times.
I've attached screenshots of my APN and mobile network settings. Trying to join the network results in an error message.

Anyone? Would greatly appreciate some help as I'm stumped and this is my only phone.

My apologies if I was unclear in my original post, I've tried that. Multiple times.

i followed this thread, and LTE worked like a champ. Though i did not stay on a stock ROM, u personally used DirtyUnicorn rom, but still followed steps to edit the build.prop manuall, and flashed the radio .33. You must use the correct apn's. For US T-Mobile, there is a old epc.tmobile.com apn that does not get LTE reception even if you have a lte equipped device, i had to use the fast.t-mobile.com apn, im sure Telus has an updated apn as well.
http://hippowise.com/how-to-permanently-enable-lte-on-android-4-2-2-nexus-4/
BTW, i dont think it matter what android version your in, cause when i did this, i was on a stock 4.2.2 and it worked, and then i flashed over to the DU ROM, and made the same edits since i used a new rom, and it worked perfectly again. Make sure to press *#*#4636#*#* once all is set said and done and put the netowrk setting to LTE/GSM auto-prl. Not sure why the option for LTE/WCDMA/GSM is not available, maybe someone could help with that one???????

One thing most people forget is that your provider plays a big part in your LTE service. If your sim/account is not provisioned for LTE you will never get it.... period. IN my case I came from an android phone that had no LTE support so it was never provisioned on my account(att). And since the nexus wasent shipped with LTE support or part of att' s LTE phone lineup...they refuse to add LTE support for my nexus. The only way for me to get LTE provisioned on my sim is for me to buy an att LTE compatable phone....then I could just use the sim in my nexus. Try flashing a stock Google image, see if it helps.

(QA) Flashing T-Mobile rom on Verizon Note 3 Retail WIFI Calling

Does anybody know or has had success flashing a t mobile rom, whether it be stock or customized rom, on a retail Verizon note 3?
I've read reports that flashing using Odin will brick...
​But how about using safestrap.
The reason why I want to, is because I would like to completely switch over to tmobile from Verizon. But still keep my phone...
As well has anyone had experience with getting wifi texting/calling to work on a Vz Note 3 retail?
I wish for this thread to be a place where devs, users are able to share and maybe find a solution. Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated

I did flash a t mobile rom on my verizon note 3. I used safestrap. I was getting errors about wifi calling and it would give me a SIM card error every now and then. But over all it worked fine. Just add Verizon's data info in so your text messaging will work.

Cant get tmobile to work
Can someone please point me in the right direction........i am just trying to get my VZ note 3 to get tmo services to work, but no matter what i do, nothing works...
I have tried on the stock rom before rooting or anything following these steps listed in OP== NO DICE
I have rooted, installed safestrap 3.75 b4 and tried the steps again===NO DICE
I have installed a custom rom, specifically jasmine rom 2.0( which requires to flash the NC2 modem afterwards, which i did successfully) in hopes that that would help and====NOOOO DICEEEE
i can't access any service menu listed in this whole WEBSITE, none will work, not even an app from the play store that executes them....
I just keep getting that stupid INVALID SIM error and the bars indication stay blank and nothing happens.....WHAT THE #&@% AM I MISSING????
I HAVE NEVER RAN INTO SO MANY ISSUES BEFORE, im not a newbie in flashing stuff or anything like that, been using XDA since teh Windows Mobile days in HTC's prime, but this has be off the wall.
ANY HELP at all would be appreciated....since im the only asswhole that cant seem to have tmobile work on the VZ Note 3.......

I went in to the Mobile networks Setting and added the APN info for Verizon.

Has anyone ever tried flashing the T-Mobile modem to activate the WCDMA 1700 band? Is that's what's needed to activate this band or is there more to it? I know wih LG devices, by flashing the complete software of a different carrier changes the band settings as well

I'm assuming no one has any interest in doing this? WCDMA 1700 is needed for HD voice for T-Mobile....

Help: T Mobile LTE not working on Android 5.1 Stock. Rooted.

Hello everyone. I just decided to update my device to 5.1. I did a clean install. I downloaded the proper radios and changed my APN to match what is suggested. I even changed my network type to LTE only. For some reason I can't get Internet to work though.

The Nexus 4 doesn't officially support LTE, so you'll need to flash an older modem (which would need root). Google disabled LTE awhile ago due to some regulations.
