Hey folks,
I want to know that is it safe if I just flash the .33 radio via fastboot command on my N4 with stock 4.3?
And if I do so, can I have LTE back or should I do something more?
Right now I am fully stock and the bootloader is unlocked but I even do not have H+ , I just have H when I get data connected.
Thanks in advance

I think H+ only shows on custom roms.

Well the ROMs won't flash a radio for you; that's what you need. Flash the 4.2.1 radio if you're after LTE, then you can run any ROM you want...
I'm sure you can find a flashable zip of the old radio if you don't want to do it via fastboot.
I'd consider rooting and fastbooting the old radio to be the quickest way. If you used one of the toolkits to root then just fastboot the radio to the device and problem solved.
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

I want to install ParanoidAndroid 3.99 which is Android 4.3 on my Nexus 4 (T-Mobile) and I wanted to know what Baseband you guys Recommend to have LTE enable because I read that you can lose LTE when upgrading to a newer baseband is it Okay to use the Stock 4.2.2 baseband on a 4.3 rom ?
LTE was a feature that was added through an altered radio. LTE was never meant to be part of the Nexus 4 features.
Flashing a ROM does not usually flash a radio.
Thanks For the reply sorry I new to the Nexus 4 But I'll flash the ROM then

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:

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.
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.
