T-Mobile LTE - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am interested in enabling T-Mobile LTE on my N4. Does it work smoothly like any other LTE enabled phone? In my research, I've found that there are two different zip files to flash. Which one has worked best for people? It appears that enabling LTE is a simple flash of the zip file. Am I correct? Thanks.

This has been covered thousands of times. But before this thread gets deleted, let me help you out. LTE on tmobile or att works flawlessly.

just flash and forget it. it should work! good luck

Do I need to update the radios after every software update or can I just flash once and forget it?

Since this will get deleted anyways, I will ask the stupid question I have. Bone stock 4.4.2 soon to be rooted with TWRP. Can I flash with a stock ROM and still make a wifi hotspot? I see something about needing init.d support or something like that.

I flashed the file. However the instructions state to change the network mode. I don't even see that option in the settings. I'm currently on 4.3

Tablet doesn't look so good...

I have an SGH-T849. Trying to unlock it. Cant find any positive guides for custom roms or anything. Everything is only on the p1000 so I took my my chances and flashed p1000 firmware so I can fit in. But now I really need your help cuz network signal is a must and I lost it after the flash. I have my imei and everything is fine but the tmobile network wont register I am trying figure out how to fix this. I have tried copy and paste modem.bin to system/vendor and flashed the tmobile modem but no go.. Also I am in bad shape because I cant find stock firmware anywhere. All links are dead and samfirmware doesnt even have it listed. Any help would from anyone would be great considering this isnt my tablet
Not every Rom has modem.bin at /system/vendor
In fact most at /radio except for cm10 that was built about two weeks ago to last week.
Now all back to /radio.
And I am talking about ICS and JB Rom.
And correct apn is a must.
And JJB modem for T-Mobile

I have the correct APN. Also the modem.bin is in /radio as well and I also pasted it i system/vendor. No go. Question though whats the JJB radio and do u happen to know where i can find it?
Overcome gb stock safe has T-Mobile modem. Modem thread in development subforum sticky also has it.
But let me ask you this.
What do you see as baseband in the phone info.
Because even JPZ can connect to T-Mobile just no 3g. Edge only.
If has baseband and can't connect, can't help you.
But there is a person that has stock T-Mobile froyo and can share it.
You just have to search.

Well Itried flashing the the tmobile radio but it wont stick. Everything on the tab seems fine it just wont register the network. my baseband is JPZ.
Edit: I flashed Overcome stock GB and the tmobile radio... It went good my baseband is T-Mobile. However it still wont register the network. I am staring to think that the sim card is not activated.
Edit: Thanks much for your help. I am happy to say that my friends sim got deactivated. Up till 4 am thinking I screwed something up.
It sucks isn't it when another thing cause you to troubleshoot other things.
But, if you are on T-Mobile network and only going to use data and not voice call, your JPZ modem is going to only give you EDGE (2G) speed.
To get 3G you still need to use the T-Mobile modem I mentioned.

Flashing custom rom- does it wipe modem?

I recently switched from rogers to wind, and to do so, I needed to enable the two extra frequencies for penta band, which I have already done.
This said, I worry that if I flash a custom rom, it will wipe my modem and I won't be able to connect to wind's network anymore.
I do have a backup of the original via QPST, but would like to know before messing anything up.
Thanks!
Flashing a Rom does not touch the modem. It may mess up your apn settings though so if you have problems make sure they're set up correctly.

Download the selinux mode changer and change it to permissive. Then install safestrap
Flash the nc1 module to get Wi-Fi

That's what I did and still had no data...at one point I had wifi but couldn't remember which module I had installed at the time...so many that I have triee...unbelievable. ..I was thinking about just using my backup and only restoring data and then putting in an myself if I can find it
And why does safe strap say disabled every time I restart?

Initially safestrap was developed to provide multi ROM support. It would say enabled only when ROM slot is used.
On i337, KitKat Roms only works with stock slot and so you can ignore that message.
For WiFi, you need to flash the NC1 modules.
For data, you would have to configure the APN

ok i finally got my phone up and running with hyperdrive 18...the only issue now is the hyperdrive tweaks are not working???? so i ended up doing the hyperdrive 18.1 update and flashed that...everything fine again now except the tweaks still????
My guess is that flashing the att buildprop apn file is messing up tweaks. Reinstall without doing the att build.prop APN flash. The dev has supposedly built in at support so the separate buildprop flash should not be needed. Just select att during installation.

I'm trying to do rls19 now and having same issue... No wifi too... And the built in not working nor any of the ones I can find on the site

[Q] please help really stuck here!!!!

Please Help Guys, any help would be appreciated. Please if you could reply ASAP it would be great.
Ok so i have a Galaxy S4 At&t and I rooted my phone with safestrap installed. It has a locked bootloader, running android 4.4.2.
I decided to put the Hyperdrive RLS19 on my phone and I have an NC1 phone. I tried putting it in my stock rom, therefore I wiped the data and everything and installed the rom, I completed with the installation, but after I installed the rom i realized that my wifi, 4g Lte data, did not work. Also, i realized that my root disappeared and not only that, I also lost my safestrap recovery. So I thought that the first thing I should do is to root it, just like last time I used Towelroot by geohot and when i clicked make it rain, it said that i needed to ensure my internet connection. Which means that i needed wifi to get root and to get wifi i needed root. I even checked the build.prop file where i should put the line equals to false, but it already was false. I even restarted the phone several times but no luck.
<PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! IDK IF IM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM OR NOT PLEASE REPLY>
If you have lost safestrap recovery, it is better to start all over again by flashing stock.
To get WiFi, you will need to flash the modules based on the kernel you have.
To get data, you need to configure the correct APN
