I am on Omega rom and after flashing the me2 stock and then Omega I have noticed my 4g icon has gone and it has been replaced with 3g. I know I have 4g because have done a speed test and it is around 3.5mb to 5mb per second compared to 1.2mb or so on 3g. So is there a way to get my 4g icon back? Thanks in advance.

Go to About Device -> Status and see which Data Type is displayed. 4G is displayed as LTE:14. 3G+ is displayed as HSPA:11.
3~5mbps is normal for 3G and not 4G. You are probably not getting 4G connection.

I checked my status and it is UMTS:3 on 3g and HSPAP:15 on H+ and I am with Telstra in Australia in a 4g area. It would display 4g when I was on stock.

LTE is probably disabled on settings then. My phone came disabled by default for some reason. To activate it go to Settings -> More Networks-> Mobile Network and check if LTE/GSM/WCDMA is enabled. That's probably the problem you are having.

Oh. I heard people having the same issue after flashing some firmwares. The one used on Omega is probably bugged for you. It doesn't happen for everybody. Try going back to stock or flashing a version of Omega that is built on top of another firmware version. I can't help you anymore. Good luck

Is there a way to extract my Baseband version (radio) from my stock TWRP backup. When I flash stock Telstra back my baseband stays as Me2 could this be the 4g issue, wrong baseband for carrier?

That's probably the issue. That's why it works for some people and not for others like you. I don't know how to extract it. I'll let other people answer this.

I have sorted it out all good got my LTE back.
1. Flashed stock Telstra backup with TWRP
2.Flashed Stock rooted ME2 with Odin 3.04. (3.07 doesn't contain the pit file and seemed to remove my LTE)
3.Flashed TWRP with Odin 3.04
4.Flashed Omega 3.0 with TWRP
All good with LTE and WiFi nice:laugh:
PS. When I did a factory reset in settings I lost my LTE when phone rebooted( wont do that again). It seemed to format the 2Gb partion for LTE settings dont know if it has something to do with TWRP just a guess?

I did that. They said go back to stock rom and then flash again. I'm do nandroid back to stock then see if comes back.
Okay nandroided back to stock and still no network mode option. Honestly i don't remember seeing that before I even rooted. So maybe an Odin flash to stock could help other then that I'm not sure but according to status bar it's says 4g lte good enough for me
I also noticed my phone doesn't say galaxy s 4 when I power it on anymore just says Samsung with the custom lock
That's because your bootloader is unlocked and/or system and firmware status is custom.

Well you can begin by going to Sammobile and download the carrier's stock firmware. Flash it via odin. Stay on stock until you figure out how to fix 4G on custom roms.
Good luck, Im sure you'd be able fix it by flashing stock rom
Have you tried fishing the Sprint modem?

Sprint Modem? Can you go a bit more in detail please?
Indie offers an "EnableLTE.zip in the i9505 Omega Thread
This maybe fix the problem, OR AT WORST BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Honestly i have no idea if this works, so be careful.
Indie or another skilled person should know of this fix the LTE bug on your Sprint S4.

The modem is part of any full firmware and is usually different for each provider, region etc.
I believe the US lte frequencies are different to most of the other countries so if you don't have the correct modem your phone may be looking for the wrong frequency.
Try this link: http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720)/Modems
Flash the .tar file in odin in the phone section.
Edit: just remembered when the first ipad to have lte was released in Australia, Apple and resellers got into big trouble for marketing it as lte/4g. This was because although it was lte it didn't actually work with Australian lte frequencies. So as I mentioned above you will need a US modem. That's my best bet to get it going again.

Flashed it successfully, yet no 4g. Could it be that I need to flash a different firmware?

Maybe check that lte is selected in network settings and you have your apn set correctly.

Hey guys...
I just rooted my phone, installed TWRP and flashed my first rom. It installed no problem, but I didn't have any network access so no phone.. kinda pointles.. Guessed it coulda been a bad rom so flashed a different rom and had the same problem. How do I get my network access back...
1st rom was MIUI and second was The Blu Kuban.
Use to flash my OG Evo all the time and never had this happen...
Update the prl and profile

So I've read the stickies and posted in the forum but I need yk see if anyone can help me out with LTE. I have att service on a stock non rooted n4 I've dialed *#*#4636#*#* changed my network type but it doesn't stick so I can't select lte in my settings and I'm not getting it regardless of my APN settings ... Anyone have any ideas of what's going on outside of rooting and flashing a different modem or radio .. Any help is appreciated ... Thanks

You need to flash a hybrid radio unless you never updated past stock 4.2.1,
newer radioes have the code disabled since it hasnt been approved by the FCC for LTE

The Nexus 4 does not support all of the AT&T LTE bands. It lacks the most commonly used LTE bands for AT&T and therefore can only be used in a couple of cities. If you do live in one of those cities, you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a hybrid radio.
OK I've been reading and I'm a little confused is there a solid working root and bootloader unlock for 4.4.2 ?

You can flash any baseband (aka radio) you want but, in order for LTE to work, you will need to flash a hybrid radio. For 4.4.2, you would need radio version .98 or .97
There was a recently released app that makes installing or changing either the hybrid or stock radios extremely easy. I used to use the manual method until this came along:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/app-nexus-4-modem-flasher-lte-enabler-t2607221
As was also mentioned, AT&T Band 4 is not available in too many areas, so don't be surprised if you never get LTE.
