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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Trying to switch my Galaxy s4 (at&t) to straight talk service. I love downgraded to mk2 and rooted /

Ended up switching to a t mobile sim card. I figured since it's a att phone to use the att sim card.. but I tried the t mobile and getting some service but very little. ST is telling me a tower near me is down to give it 24 hours but I feel that's a goose chase lol I've used a t mobile sim card in the exact spot I'm in and worked fine. It was in the note 2 from Verizon fully unlocked though.

Well they told me a tower was down for t mobile yesterday and they said 24 hours and it's still not hardly working. I can only use my gs4 on my couch with my hand near the window. About to call them and get I in their butt. It's not my phone is the apn settings or something on the ST end. Will update after this long as call
Unless I am mistaken the apn has zero to do with reception. Apn's are for your mms/data access. I have never come across a phone where the apn had any effect on the actual cellular signal.
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.......

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....
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 :/

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
