Just joined from the iphone world to the android world after about 3 years. Wow. =]
Anyway, just bought the phone yesterday, activated it an within 15 minutes had it rooted phiz recovery and and installed AllianceRom 3.1 on it.
I've had a bit of an issue, It will not go LTE. It only stay on 4g or go to E,, H+, my friend who has an iphone, same provider and same service, his phone shows LTE in our same location at his desk but mine will not go above 4G.
Did I do something wrong with the root process? Anyone ever seen this issue? I'd say its an issue with the service but when you have a friend with the same provider and his phone is showing LTE, it begs to ask questions
Thanks all,
Alan
do a speed test and u will know, i think on yr ROM 4G = LTE, H+ = 4G, also check yr APN too.
Got it Hope this helps new rooters

I checked it out, I found that it was a combination of a couple of things,
When I bought the phone I rooted it immediately, didn't officially update it or anything. I was working on the older radio with the newer Alliance rom which required the latest radio.
The only way I was able to fix it was use Kies, update it, which put it back to stock recovery and stock rom. Reroot using Odin and install Omega's rom. It would of probably worked fine with Alliance rom but I saw a couple things I liked with Omega.
When I updated stock I saw LTE. Which told me that it was a radio issue, I tried updating the radio manually but it failed so I just let Kies do it.
All settled and done, it's purring like a kitten now Thanks Koolboyztn for your suggestion

Hi, I just got this phone a few days ago and immediately rooted it then flashed the HK v1 custom rom for my K320S. I recently realised that my phone does not go on 4g even though my other phone with the same carrier does. No matter how strong the signal, I'm not going into 4g. I did manage to get 4g signal in the few hours I played around with the phone before rooting ad flashing the firmware and I concluded that it was probably the firmware that is restricting my 4g. Does anyone have any idea how I might be able to enable my 4g again?
P.s. I couldn't find anything when I searched
Cheers

ok here it is. i've flashed various roms but don't really know what everything is, i just followed all those insturctions but never bricked my device..
I live in China, use 3g mobile internet, my phone is korean note2(shv-e250l), use slimkat 4.4.2 nightly, bandwidth MI1, kernel thor 2.9.
i've been using these for about 1 month, and there was not any big problems, except that it feels like my signal strength or internet speed isn't as good as stock rom
but yesterday, when I hung up after calling my friend, all of sudden my phone can't read my sim card, so i reboot the device, and my mobile network doesn't work, and i reboot again, finally everything works.
after that, everytime i call someone my phone goes stupid and i have to reboot it twice.
and I started to wonder, does my bandwidth need to be updated? can I use newest stock rom's bandwidth?
newest stock rom of korean note2 is NA1, will using its bandwidth solve my problem?
if it does the magic, how do i apply bandwidth of NA1 to my phone?
HELP ME.............
Hi all,
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 337M that was rooted and loaded with a custom ROM. I decided to go back to stock so went to sammobile.net and got the latest rogers firmware for my galaxy S4 (which they said was 4.3).
I loaded with ODIN, all went well, rebooted stock, but the max signal icon I can get now is 4G (even though I used speedtest and am getting close to LTE download speeds I think). Any idea why my LTE is gone ? Did I download the wrong ROM ?
I also noticed that none of the APN settings were there and no rogers apps were installed either. Makes me wonder if it was indeed a stock rogers rom after all.
Another strange thing is that it shows me a bell canada navigator update is available in the google play store, yet its not even on my phone. Regardless, even if its a Bell ROM by some chance, Bell Canada has LTE as well, so I am confused.
Btw I used the standard ltemobile APN settings that I always use on all my phones to get LTE (that always work)....
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks so much !!!
My iPhone shows LTE using the same SIM...
PS. If I do need to get an original Rogers ROM, is sammmobile not the best place lol ? Any other places to go??

I believe that all I337M uses that same firmware but you need a CSC changer to make it change to your carrier as they don't release the specific ones with the carrier apps.
Search "Samsung CSC" in the play store and you should get one.
Thanks for the reply.
Seems I need root - which I deleted when doing a factory restore.
The strange thing is that it was supposed to be a rogers based firmware that I downloaded and flashed.
Maybe something went wrong in the flash.
Will try again.
And check out the CSC
i have a bell i337m and i have the same issue when flashing from a "custom rom to stock" and i have to flash the firmware using odin a second time and than i get my LTE icon enstead of the 4G icon, sounds weird and i can't explain why it takes 2 flashes to get it to show up proper, but it does.
i also have the problem with missing phone vendor apps, the second flash also makes these show up too.
also another thing i noted about my phone is if i don't root and install recovery to wipe, odin will dirty flash my roms, even though odin is supposed to wipe it isn't.
i've tested this to no ends, the results are 100% the same everytime.

After flashing the stock Rom, go back into stock recovery and wipe data and cache, then reboot that should fix it. To fix your csc issue there is a way to do it by dialling a number on your dialpad which includes your imei number then you choose a specific code. Search for it, google

Thanks so much for the replies and help.
I wiped the rom just for fun and rebooted and noticed that its actuality a BELL ROM (all stock BELL apps etc), but when I entered my rogers APN settings it still only showed H+, maybe due to network differences. It's frustrating because I specifically selected a Rogers S4 ROM from Sammobile.net. Any idea where I can get a stock rogers ROM for s4? Also do you think this may have affected my 4G/LTE issue ??
Either way, I will definitely flash the correct ROM twice, and then go back into stock recovery to to wipe data and cache.
Thanks again for all your help

THAT WORKED
Thanks so much !!!
Hey guys,
As you can read in the tittle, my problem is that I don't have 4G/LTE I get 3G+/3G or HSPA+/HSPA.
Right I'm running Lollipop with the custom ROM, BlissPop with B14ckB1rd Kernel. I tried other ROMs (CM, RR, Paranoid) but I don't get 4G in neither of them.
I lost my 4G a quite ago, don't remember exactly how but I can imagine it was when I tried those early Lollipop builds, after that I went back to KitKat and the 4G was gone, even I tried going to full stock but neither that work.
I'm sure is a phone problem because I been with 2 different carriers and couldn't get 4G. The SIM card is brand new and today I spent around 2 hours talking with the Tech Support of my carrier checking everything is all right.
I also tried to change the Baseband/Modem/Radio (Right now I have Cloudyfa KK for the D802).
This might be also helpful for guess what could be the problem, when I dial *#*#4636#*#* go this phone information, down to prefer network type and select LTE only I lose service, by the way, in that configuration I have selected LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) and USA radio band.
I'm open for all kind of suggestions, If you need more information don't doubt in asking me.: fingers-crossed:

I am having exactly the same issue. I have been going around in circles since days. Recking APN settings constantly etc. Going mad. Would be great to find a solution together!

Well is good to know I'm not the only one.
Could you share more information?, like when and how it happened, so we can figure out what is wrong.
Today I'm going to try to get some logs, and check the system folder.
It happened to me with stock lollipop v30d vodafone ITA with another carrier sim (TIM). Solved after flashing v30a open ITA kdz.

I'm gonna try it, will send feedback as soon as possible.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda Forum
No luck, I installed the V30a Italian version as you suggested but as you can in the screenshots no 4G at all, when I try to force LTE (This time with the command 3845#*802#) is lose service like in my last ROM, so I'm almost sure is hardware and not software.
Can some confirm me that, cause when you go back to stock by a kdz or how ever their is not residual imformation, every thing is fully clean right? Or some firmware just stay for ever?
If you guys have more suggestions that could try before I send it to somewhere for get it repair.
I purchased a used Moto X Pure Edition on Swappa. The phone was rooted, but the seller flashed it back to stock (as far as he told me). I was hoping that I could eventually get the OTA for nougat when it came out, so he assured me that the phone was in "stock" condition.
When I received it, I went to a verizon corp store and got a new sim and they activated the phone on my account. I see 4G LTE and data works great, but when attempting voice calls it says "no cellular network available". SMS messages don't send. I called verizon tech support and we changed some settings around, but it never worked. Guys at the corp store had no clue. The sim works fine in my old verizon galaxy SIII.
Someone on a reddit thread suggested that I check the firmware. It currently reports as: 24.12.18.clark_retus.retus.en.US.retus Does anyone know if this is correct? Is there anything I can do to get this working, or once it's rooted is it really impossible to get it back to stock, or has the seller somehow screwed it up during flashing?
Thanks!
UPDATE: It seems to be fixed after re-flashing the factory image from motorola. I used MPH24.49-18_18 from this page: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images#
I'm on VZN - was rooted running CM13 then Slim Rom then went back to stock (PITA) So it can be done ( my firmware : 24.221.4clark_retus.retus.en.US retus) but why would you want to go stock? I only did thinking we were getting Android N soon but that doesn't seem to be happening. Root the phone and throw a custom Rom on it. You will be happier. Have you checked the network type? and the APN?

I've switched the network type (global and then LTE/CDMA). The APN that is default selected is Verizon Internet. But, I've tried all the other APNs as well.
I'm worried at this point that I'll never get it to work with voice, whether it is rooted and rom'd or not.
Try Flashing to CM 13 or Slim6 both worked for me.. Please dont hate me for asking.. you sure you have the sim in the right way? I know this try is tricky

Not hating. I'll take any help I can get. Yes, I'm certain I put the sim in correctly. Cellular data works, and the phone shows as being on the Verizon network, just not voice enabled.
I'd rather not root and flash at this point, as I'm likely going to return it as non-working. Unless someone has any other ideas?
Well, I guess I fixed it. I reflashed the factory image from this page: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images# and the sim is reporting voice and data, and calls and sms are working. I'm not sure what image the guy that sold it to me flashed, but it was obviously wrong or he didn't do it right. Thanks for the help!
