@jinjin12 You made sure to enable LTE through the *#*#4636#*#* menu, right?

Hi everyone,
I bought a Nexus 4 few months back for my gf and she has been liking it. It used to work with LTE on Bell but since 4.2.2 I think it is disabled. However, I am looking to buy one for myself now. I am on Fido (Rogers is mother company). Should I expect LTE to work on my Fido with an easy work around like changing the radio baseband?
I will be looking to order a new one tonight.
Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks
I am on Fido and LTE working, use .33 radio and search for the LTE instructions. I am assuming you know how to root and flash radio.

1- I hoped I never have to root a stock version from Google but I don't mind doing it if I have to. What are the disadvantages of Rootin or rolling back to .33 radio? I will have to weigh my options.
2- When LTE worked before the phone had to be set to LTE again upon restart, is that fixed now so it's a permanent change?
3- Is there a ROM that is a basic basic stock image (not like CM Mod) that I can use and yet enjoy the .33 radio?
Thanks
You have to root phone in order to flash old radio. 4.2.2 uses .48 radio, and LTE only works on .33 radio. So this have to be done. Please search around the forum on rooting and enable LTE. Good luck!

Thanks again. Does rooting void the warranty? If yes, is there any way to "unroot"

So, would the "unrooting" make the phone look just like it was never rooted or would Google know regardless?

Yep. Even works for RMAs. I unrooted, relocked the bootloader, and flashed back stock rom on my RMA Nexus 4 to send it back. Google doesn't know.
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.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
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 saw a couple CM11 roms that are LTE enabled. I was just wondering if there are any KK based off stock roms that are LTE enabled. I didn't really see any in the main threads for Android and Original Android threads. I guess you need the hybrid radios for it to work? Is it just flashing the hybrid radio and changing the preferred network in the phone settings?
This is one of the best LTE enabled stock based ROMs. The LTE version will even flash a hybrid radio for you

I didn't even know he did a stock KK version. I'm using his CM11 right now. LOL Yeah, his ROMs = good stuff.
Thanks, man.

You can manually switch to lte with *#*#4646#*#* in dialer, or the "network app in the play store".

That was only for pre-KK. Now you have to have a "hybrid radio" in order for LTE to stick, I think. Or downgrade the radio. I like andersonarago's ROM because you can just flash the zip file and everything is done. I think I'm going the try his stockKK version with LTE.

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.
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.
