Should I install I337 roms?

Hello all,
This is my first post here, so I'm kind of a noob, but please bear with me. I currently am using the Galaxy s4 GT-i9505 international version in which I bought in Hong Kong last month. I came back to home net network of Rogers Wireless in Canada. The major issue my area supports LTE and the phone cannot reach LTE in the status logo. (I am only getting 3G, H+, 4G) The phone is up to date with the newest in phone update of 4.2.2. This should not be happening because even in the Settings => Mobile networks => Network mode i checked under LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) option. What should I do?
Also, should I be flashing to the I337 version roms? (which is the local branded version for Rogers in Canada) Please help and help me get started, much thanks.

I'm going to delay you a little until you get a good, valid response from someone that actually knows for sure... But, I know if you flash an international ROM on an I337, it will brick the phone because some of the components are different. It seems to me that it would also brick your phone by doing the reverse, by flashing a I337 ROM on the international version.

First, you did post questions in q&a not the general forum. Second, there is a forum for the i9500, i9505 where you would probably get better answers for your device.

The canadian version is i337m...no locked bootloader as with i337
I am running an international based rom on my i337 m right now.
4g can be lte...depending on a few things..run a speedtest to be sure.
If your not getting lte speeds try to change your modem to the latest canadian version from the modem thread.

Hes trying to run it on rogers in canada..worst case he can always restore his orig modem or nandroid. But yes it should work..if I flash a 19505 modem on my i337m all I would get is either poor signal or no signal.
If we were talking kernels the perhaps diff story

LTE = 4G. And no is a problem. 4G/LTE (Fourth Generation / Long Term Evolution) is the next stage in mobile network development and provides users with much faster data speeds than 3G is able to. Custom Rom Creator can build 4g icon or LTE icon but its same

N9005 won't pick up 3G networks

Hi guys,
My actual phone info:
Bought with JB Stock Vodafone from Spain
Imei unlocked
Updated over OTA to kitkat
rooted via CF auto root.
Knox tripped
Phone info:
XXUENA6
XXUENA2
VFGENA4
For a week, I looked all over XDA forums, read all threads but I still can't find a solution for my n9005 problem.
Here it is: I bought one in Spain, imei unlocked it to use it Morocco. Everything worked just fine and I could use gsm network with a sim from IAM (Moroccan Provider). I then set up mobile APN to have 3G, made sure my sim is 3g enabled, but the phone refused to pick up the 3g signal. I checked the phone's mobile network settings, and found that I haf only 2 options: gsm/wcdma automatic, and wcdma only options.
Well, since Maroc Telecom(IAM) isn't offering a 4G coverage yet, I think that's normal not to have the 4g option. Still, When I use the automatic option I only get 2g signal (and can read my mails over gprs,get twitter notifications, but no internet via browser, etc..).
When I choose Wcdma only option, I simply have no network signal at all.
When searching manually for networks, I get all 3 moroccan's providers but only their 2g networks.
I was prompted for the kitkat update via OTA, updated but it didn't solve the unavailable 3g problem(and caused a few others I managed to solve).
Now, I rooted my n9005 using cf auto root, and off course tripped knox, tried to reset the phone many times, but still no way to have a 3g signal.
Thought about installing a compatible Rom, but I am a newbie, coming from the Apple world, and need some help with this.
Actually, it amuses me that I really waited until android started to ressemble to IOS to decide to switch once for all to Android
Please guys, if you have any idea to help me get the 3G signal, that would be awsome.
Thank you in advance.

Updating Custom ROM for 4G

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 with Omega v17 - Modem XXUEMKF and my operator has just released an update to enable 4G but of course I cannot do it since I am not on OEM android and do not wish to be either.
Currently there is no LTE/WSDMA/GSM option in my Network mode list, WSDMA/GSM only.
Can I somehow add that with an update/patch or I need to update to a latest version of OmegaROM?
Will updating the modem add LTE as an option?

Download and flash this file via recovery.

Thanks.
The option is now showing up

But I am not getting a 4G signal it seems. And I am in a 4G area since I have another S4 which works just fine.
Did a speedtest and pretty sure 4-5mbps is not 4g speed.
How do you tell by the icon? It's always H or H+ in the status bar.

No LTE signal in cm12.1 and cm13

Dear Friends,
I recently purchased a galaxy note 3 SM n9005 32 GB qualcom LTE. It come with a lollipop touchwiz rom, in that time i am able to receive LTE signals. After i flashed CM12.1 then I am unable to get LTE signals. I searched a lot in google and xda but I am unable to find a valid solution. I don't what is my firmware and baseband version when I have stock lollipop rom. I tried *#*#4636#*#* and select LTE mode only. After change this when I searching for network mannually i am not able to connect any network. after changint to WCDMA mode only i am able to receive the H+ signal only. In CM13 also the same issue is present. Please anyone know how to solve this issue, can help me. I have no Backup of stock rom. My current CM12 firmware details as per attachments.
In the droid info app it shows baseband version N900PVPUEOC5. When i google with this baseband version number it showing sprint galaxy note 3. Now I am really confusing that whether I have International N9005 or Sprint galaxy Note 3. I am expecting help from experts.
