Make sure you have an ATT APN and the correct network mode selected, LTE/GSM/WCDMA

Yes I have cause I had net 10 before and It worked 4g lte .I had changed because most people said that ATT is the quickest network and probably is but you have to use their own machines.they said,... I flashed original stock tar to start it fresh to see if there was some trouble when I flashe custom roms I will use triangle apk app to reset counter to 0 and start it over once I root again my machine. I will keep in contact thanks!!

[Q] LS980 No 3g data on AOSP ROMs

Hello!
I have Sprint LS980 flashed to Intertelecom Ukraine (EVDO Rev. A) by the NVram.
The problem is that i don't have 3g data connection on AOSP roms, it's just not connecting.
I have data on every stock base Rom and Omni Rom.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Same here. Just flashed my first AOSP ROM (Carbon) and I'm getting 1X instead of 3G at home. Is there a way to update PRL or Profile maybe? Thought it was a ROM specific issue.
Tried to edit build.prop but get no luck to get data work.

Unfortunately on some ROM it's not active , on other one there is no such pass. When i use aps that open that setting aps crashes.
Always thought that NV programmed phones have no need in APNs.
Thank you for trying to help me!

so im assuming this phone is CDMA? i don;t know as im british so i don't have all this complicated stuff and simply just buy a GSM phone and it works on every network. I am just basing my answers on my on phone.

Yep, it's really a CDMA operator (EVDO rev. A is CDMA) and LS980 is Sprint version of LG G2.
And everything you wrote will work on GSM, but any way thank you for trying to help!

Note 3 SM-n900 no LTE

Good afternoon all,
I have had my Note 3 SM-N900 for a while and have just changed my sim for a 4G version, but I have no option for LTE option in Network Mode, so I am on H or H+
The phone was running Android version 4.1, so I decided to upgrade to the lollipop edition from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/official-lollipop-arrived-t3015128
Having looked around the net for quite a few hours, I noticed a file needs changing, which is: persist.radio.lteon.xml
With the help from the Xda forums I managed to root my device via the cf auto guide, I have checked the root and it is currently working, I have tried to find the file in:
Data/Properties/persist.radio.lteon.xml
The only file in there is persist.radio.lteon with out the .xml, I have opened the file and the text in there says true
When I go back into the Network modes, only these are shown:
WCDMA/GSM
WCDMA
GSM
Can anyone please help on this matter as I am not sure what else I can try, many thanks to who all helps.
Do I need to reflash to another version?
Many Thanks to all

Model SM-N900

Are u kidding? N900 is a 3G device. Not a 4G device. U won't get any 4G forever.
I apologise, I was told this phone was 4G when purchased last year.
Many Thanks
SM N900 was not able to get 4G connection bro. Even if using custom rom that have 4G option. The hardware was not supported.
Now I'm using aurora custom rom that have the 4G option, but I believe that my device won't be able to use 4G connection

Freedompop N900P help

Hi all,
I have a freedompop ( they use sprints network) Note 3 N900P. Since the phone uses the sprints network indirectly, I am not sure which roms I will be able to install. Also the phone comes with lollipop; can i use the cf-root app? It says that it only supports the 4.4 bootloader, but the phone is running 5.0.(not sure if the bootloader was updated).
I would like your advice.
Thanks in advance
The Faqs show that phone as a Sprint model so i would expect the Sprint forum to have the answers .

No one replied; I can confirm that it already has twrp installed. The only thing I am curious about is if the roms in the general note 3 threads will be compatible.
USUALLY any non-exynos rom will work. I'm on ringplus. I just add my APN and done. Tried using Music of life LP rom, though that one is tricky to add apn because it's greyed out with the SPR csc. Use the XAS csc to get apn to work. I'm now using darkera13's s7 edge port which gave me no problems editing my APN. I'm assuming the s7 edge port in this forum might have a similar experience.
Oh and the sprint section was no help for me. I had to figure it out on my own.

No, I never could. For that you'll have to try sprint-based roms. Personally, I've gotten a signal just fine without updating prl.

Probably APN. Find out what your cell provider's APN settings are and make your own.

The phone get APN form provider, also i added it manually, but can't get 4G.
I think the problem, is that the phone is sprint and 4G work only in USA, right ?

oh right you're not in the US. If the bands aren't supported then you won't get the data. I don't believe a cdma phone was the right choice to use outside the US. Have better odds using a gsm phone.

Unlock extras LTE Bands

Hello guys and girls. I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my SM-G900V and now I'm on the most smooth CM ever.
I live in Brazil, and here we don't have the LTE bands that the Verizon's S5 uses. So I tried unlock additional bands using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059.
Guess what? Didn't work.
It occurred to me that the problem could be the modem firmware, so I tried to flash modem from the others variants, and.... nope. ODIN's flash fail, and the download mode screen says "SECURE CHECK FAIL: modem" (something like that).
I almost made an attempt to flash using dd, or recovery, but decided to ask first.
Honestly it's hard to find a flashable zip of any version of modem.
I already made a backup of modem partition, in case of anything goes wrong.
The only LTE band I need is the 7.
My questions are:
Does anyone tried this before?
What is the risk to flash a modem firmware from other variant using dd/recovery?

Unfortunately it will not work. I've already tried before unlocking the bootloader. I'm now on CM13, and they does not have a hidden menu, only stock firmware (or port). Plus, when I accessed the menu on stock firmware, the B7 option said something like "not supported". Probably because the software is modified by Verizon.

Some clarification: Galaxy Tools by Idoneapps is a tool for changing various APN and hidden settings on the S5. I couldn't find an official link, but I have a direct link to the AndroidFileHost download. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347804710
You can probably find the band and APN settings yourself easily enough, but I'll do some experimenting and update when I find the options. It isn't the easiest UI.

This is the working links off apk file . You can play with , try different settings and remember if something not working wright always restore to initial settings . Good luck !
Yesterday I tried to flash modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin from another device using "dd". The flash was ok, and the device did turn on without problems.
I tried the baseband of these three devices: SM-G900M, SM-G900P and SM-G900T.
But... no LTE for me.
I'm still looking for a way to do this.
I have the Verizon varient and was able to set the APN to exactly to what my unlocked moto x pure is. It works perfect with at&t.........so far. I guess it's all about the APN since the sim is unlocked.

Can't Use CM13 with Unlocked L720?

So i've got a L720 that i've rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM12.1 snapshot, I flashed NAE baseband after unlocking and all is well, however I'd like to be able to use CM13, but every time that i flash either a nightly, or JDCTeam's optimized CM13 (which is what i'd prefer to use if a solution is available), It forces LTE/CDMA (auto) in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, if i pick GSM/WCDMA and reboot it just goes back to LTE/CDMA (auto) and i have no idea how to make it work, if there is even a way, does the GSM unlock not stick on 6.0.1 ROMs?
Thanks for any help you can give me :/

Did anyone find a solution for this? I'm trying to use a Sprint Domestic Unlocked 720T with AT&T and running into the same issue. Cannot select GSM at all, no matter where (network mode shows -1). I've tried different modems, build.prop, hidden menus, etc. No GSM on the cm13 for the 720t??

Looks like we may be stuck on CM12 or LP based custom ROMs my friend
To be perfectly honest, you're not missing out on anything, having run the same ROM of LP and of MM, there is no real difference in regards to performance and battery life.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
This is really sad... I've spent 3 days flashing various modems and can't find nothing. Though, I'd point out my LP kinda behaves same as my M, when it's done loading apps after flashing, it ask to insert simcard (same like my M), but then I go change the network type to 3g and network returns on the phone. Tried with cm13 but nothing, does anyone know what could be wrong??
my L720 detect sim but signal not work
