please answer only if you know/sure 100%
i have a f180 too and flashing a e975 international rom does not do any damage, just you don't get signals that you can fix by multiple options....
what i want to know is if its possible to flash the D802 baseband on d800 without permanent damage.
i don't mind re-flashing tot to fix the phone.
why i want to do this, i want to try and see if somehow flashing a different baseband enable different lte band, as my carrier only works on 1800 lte and d800 i have, does not have 1800 lte band.

Hi there,
I am wondering if I can change the basebands/modem from my D801 T mobile G2 to work with the international D802 basebands since I am moving to germany. Can we just flash a new modem to get different LTE bands since it's a S800, as qualcomm said the first world LTE processor?
thanks a lot

Not that i'm aware of. Check the tmo bands and see if they are compatible with the common german carriers. Otherwise I would just sell your G2 on swappa and purchase another.
that is what i will end up doing if necessary, can someone confirm this is not possible at all? thanks!

It's not possible to change the bands a phone operates under. Here are the bands the different versions use (taken from Wikipedia) so you can check if the 801 will work with whichever carrier you're planing on going with.
AT&T - D800
GSM 850/900/1800/1900UMTS 850/1900/2100LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/850(5)/700(17)
Sprint - LS980
GSM 850/1900CDMA 800/850/1900UMTS 850/1900LTE 1900(25)/800(26)/2500(41)

Ok thank you, question solved! thanks
Hi, guys.
I have ls980 on stock ZVA, rooted and GSM unlocked. 3g works fine, but there is no LTE. I live in Russia, and our LTE bands are 7,20,38.
So, is there any way to enable other LTE bands than Sprint's 25,26,41? To flash proper radio or baseband may be?
Thanks!
the same question. Any solve?
No I don't believe you can just flash different modem and enable bands because the phone has different models... Chances are it is a difference in hw and flashing an incompatible modem may cause a brick
I have an international G2 D802.. We, in india have certain operators in Band 40 LTE.. Is it possible to activate Band 40 in D802 by flashing D802T kdz in D802??? Has anyone ever tried flashing D802T kdz in D802?? Kindly Help..
Any way this is possible? kindly reply someone
I think it is possible since i have flash D802 and D802T kdz back and forth many times and my phone is still good. But idk if Band 40 LTE is switched by flashing different kdz though.
I want to ask if it is possible or anybody can modify any modem to have all lte band activated and after that to flash them on phone?
PS i ask that because i have this phone model and i need to activate lte on band 38 2600.
i need the same thing, we are in Romania with Digi Carrier, my phone works only on h+

I'm trying to get through the steps. You need to start with a radio that has some level of LTE support.
Hello everyone! I recently got a second-hand verizon G2 VS980. I live in India (location is relevant in my case because of this being a US only model). I had ROOT pre-installed and it stays even after factory reset. This indicates that it is NOT stock.
This phone has legit hardware, as in it has all VS980 components. I have checked it. BUT IT HAS THE IMEI OF A D800. Does this mean that i also have the bands of D800 enabled?
Now what i want to do is,
Above all i want this phone rooted and flashed to the latest and most stable ROM atm.
Second, i would like to use 4G LTE on it, here in India. I know that VS980 supports only band 4 and 13. I NEED band 3,5,40. I have trawled the internet for this specific info but to no avail. Does the VS980 has the hardware it takes to use other 4G bands? Or is it manufactured only with band 4 and 13 in mind? The only pieces of little info i came upon was this

After spending a few days hacking around with the VS980 (LG G2 Verizon Model) I wish to share some findings.
1. NV edits to the bands will only work with baseband 11A or earlier. All later radios have the NV values hardcoded into the baseband and any changes will be reverted. You can successfully edit the NV values, and they will survive reboot on baseband 11A, but as soon as you install a later baseband they will revert to stock. CM11 works well with 11A. Perhaps binary modification to later basebands would be possible.
2. LTE Band 17 does not appear to be supported by the hardware. I copied all the values from a D801. Android now reports my phone as a GSM model instead of CDMA which is nice, but it just won't connect to LTE Band 17. If I delete band 4, I can't get LTE at all, so I know the settings are having an effect.

and this. So i am confused where to start, i currently have a 26A baseband. Is it possible to enable band 3,5 and 40 on VS980?
I found the guides much confusing and complex relative to other devices i had. I am confused what to do first.
Should i flash TWRP first? or
Should i flash stock firmware?
I see that bands can be edited only on baseband 11A or earlier, so should i downgrade to that etc.
I have the phantom touches, and i read that they were gone after a specific update, so can i still get/flash that update with
a 11A baseband?
I do not understand this baseband, bootloader, exploits, and ROM compatiblity things.
I am willing to try even low level edits if someone is able to help and guide me.
Lastly, i just want my VS980 to run a good stable ROM with (if possible) 4G LTE on band 3,5 and/or 20 (India) and NO phantom touches update.
Specs: attached
Bump. Noone?
Can't anyone tell me that does the verizon model even includes hardware capability for 4G band 3,5 and 20? If this gets cleared, more than HALF of my problems will be gone.

This means that i can't enable/use other bands because the hardware does not exist for any band except 4 and 13. Yes?
