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.
Restore the Nandroid you made before starting the process.

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.

I was wondering if someone can layout the steps needed in order to get t mobile service to work on a verizon g2. I currently am at android 4.4.2 (24a update) with CWM custom recovery installed. I have a Tmob sim and lookin to use my vs980 with tmobile preferablly on kit kat as well.
thanks for the help
Just put T-Mobile Sim in and enter in proper apns and if you're lucky even LTE will work it works well my g2 is a backup for my nexus 5 wanted a just as powerful backup and Verizon variants are cheaper online I'm on 24a as well PS if you reflash stock ROM you will have to reenter apns an aosp ROM will automaticly detect you carrier and enter appropriate APN settings

Sorry to reply to such an old thread but my Verizon G2 is coming in the mail and I am looking to activate on T-Mobile. From my understanding each Cloudy rom (CloudyG3, CloudyStock etc), T-Mobile stock roms, and ParanoidAndroid seem to work (data and all) as long as the APN settings are configured correctly. I however would love to try other roms (spirit rom and lollipop when they eventually come out). Will these roms work with the APN settings correctly configured?
It should work fine haha this is a really old thread I don't even have a g2 anymore

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....
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.

Here is the answer to your problem.... You need to install the LTE Modem Enabler V 2.13 The link is here. I worked for me
Here is the link to the post
For anyone here Who has just updated Nexus 4 Lollipop 5.1 and have lost 4G lTE on T-mobile or other carriers here is a link to a post that will solve your problem. Check it out. This is not the enabler app on Google play.

I recently got a Verizon S5 from a friend of mine to use with my T-Mobile SIM card. It had stock 4.4.4 with build NI2 so I rooted using the NCG stock and towelroot before flashing back to NI2. Everything worked as expected and I was able to make calls and whatnot.
Now I decide I want CM 12.1 on my phone and begin the process of getting BusyBox and SafeStrap installed. Again all is going according to plan including the backup of stock ROM.
I wipe and flash CM 12.1 and get into a boot loop, so immediately I wipe again and restore to my previous backup.
Now I can send/receive texts, MMS, and my LTE works fine; but I can't make calls.
I've gone through all the steps to enable T-Mobile LTE through the CA Settings and manually enabling Band 4, and don't think this is related, but it might be.
I've reset multiple times, tried flashing CM 12.1 multiple times, and now I'm back on stock Touchwiz and am ready to shoot someone.
Specs:
SM-G900V
Version 4.4.4
Baseband is NI2
Kernel is 3.4.0
Build is NI2
Please help!

You might try flashing the NI2 kernel and if that doesn't work, the NI2 firmware.
So I just got a pop-up wanting to know if I would enable global mode. It had a dialer app icon but it appeared while I was in the messenger app. I said okay and now calls work. The only place I can find global network settings is in the network settings, so if anyone finds this with the same error, try re-enabling global network mode.

Verizon uses CDMA technology. T-Mobile uses GSM. All non-USA part of world is GSM, so maybe phone has both so that it can be used outside USA, but you have to enable Global to enable GSM. (Verizon, Sprint, and one other USA carrier are the only ones in the world to use CDMA.)
hey just a tip. it has nothing to do with your problem (well maybe it does) and sorry if you already knew but i was very happy when i found out. T-mobile roms work on these phones. I use Alliance 4.4.2 rom from the sgs5 t-mo section. Flashed with safe strap and it works great. I was having major issues when using the VZW roms. Like phone wanting to dial *86 for my voicemail then hanging up my phone call, or getting the 1x symbol constantly while in a call or just after calls ect. Now all i need to do is figure out how to put T-mo 5.0 roms on this thing....mehhh... i'm sure there's a step by step somewhere I just cant find it. Hope this helps if not I'll edit and put a thanks or thumbs up or something.
Can we install a t-mobile rom (900T) and flash the radio specific to 900V back so that t-mobile wifi-calling works? Can someone answer if they have done this?
Also will the band 12 on this work with t-mobile's new 700MhZ?
Thanks.

It works fine i used the alliance rom but you dont need to flash the modem file, even the wifi calling is working but since t mo recognizes it HSPA+ as 4g but when you connect to an actual 4g it will say 4g lte but you cant connect to t mo 700 mhz as it doesnt support that frequenc

I am using am gs5 verizon on a gsm network with lte band 3 and i never had problems with calling, i suggest you look for an app called Advanced Signal Status though you will need root so that you can change between network types

I lost LTE after I flashed Ressurection Remix. I wiped after I flashed Ressurection due to the ROM constantly dropping service randomly. I had LTE perfectly fine with that ROM though. So afterwards, I tried Omni Rom and that's when I started only getting 3G and absolutely no LTE, no matter what ROM I flashed. I flashed the stock ROM, including flashing the stock modem and wiping modemst1 and t2, and still have no LTE, even on the stock ROM. Is there anything I can do? I'm fully rooted with TWRP, and have not had any errors upon flashing. I don't know what would have caused this.

I think you have to re-create the APN settings that your carrier requires for mobile data. It's possible that RR has APNs built in for various carriers and if that's the case, find the one for your carrier and make it the default. This is what I had to do when I flashed LineageOS and also after I re-flashed the stock ROM.

That's what I did, and even flashed back the original ROM and all I'm getting is H+ data now. Absolutely no LTE. Something had to have went wrong to cause the radio in the phone to stop picking up LTE.
UPDATE: I found out that it was the kernel that caused me to lose LTE. I flashed a different kernel and it brought back LTE.

Can you link what kernel worked for you. I'm having the same issues with LTE trying to use it on Verizon. I can get 4G to work if I change the radio to United States but then phone calls don't work. If I get it so that phone calls do work then the signal drops out all the time and 3g is only available.
Thanks.

Keep in mind, we can use G4 plus kernels and ROMs too, even if were on the regular G4.
ElementalX kernel may also work if that one doesn't work out for you.
Download according to your current ROM (nougat, marshmallow, etc), reboot to recovery, install zip that you downloaded, wipe cache, reboot, done. Turn off WiFi before rebooting to recovery, that way when you reboot after flashing the kernel it will go straight for mobile network instead of WiFi (;
Let me know if it works for you too!

I was excited, but it did not work for me. Still only getting 3G. Its weird because it constantly says I lost signal cause I went outside my home area. There should be perfect Verizon coverage here.
But when I set the radio band to United States( which I am in) the 4G works perfectly but then the network for calling/SMS is gone.
When the 4g works, the apns all change and then when I set the radio band back to automatic they change again but to something that has no 4G.
I also have no option to edit or add any APNs.

Its not that personal of a question lol I don't mind at all. I am using Resurrection Remix. And the kernel that you mentioned. The sim came from my work phone which was a Galaxy S5 Verizon.
So does the G4 work on cmda AND gsm? I thought you had to get an unlocked version of one or the other?
I think the guy I bought the phone from said he was using it on TMobile.
He mentioned that the moto g4 had sim issues when it first came out but this one was a new one Motorola sent back to him.
Maybe this will help you out, I had LTE issues right out of the box on mine and fixed it with this:
