Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 with Omega v17 - Modem XXUEMKF and my operator has just released an update to enable 4G but of course I cannot do it since I am not on OEM android and do not wish to be either.
Currently there is no LTE/WSDMA/GSM option in my Network mode list, WSDMA/GSM only.
Can I somehow add that with an update/patch or I need to update to a latest version of OmegaROM?
Will updating the modem add LTE as an option?

Download and flash this file via recovery.

Thanks.
The option is now showing up
But I am not getting a 4G signal it seems. And I am in a 4G area since I have another S4 which works just fine.
Did a speedtest and pretty sure 4-5mbps is not 4g speed.
How do you tell by the icon? It's always H or H+ in the status bar.
I'm trying to get my S4 to LTE only mode so it will accept non whitelisted LTE networks. This used to be possible with an app called "ServiceMode Shortcut", but it seems this is no longer supported in the new rom.
Does any of you know how to get there in 4.4?

Flash ME2 modem mate then , set it up and reflash latest modem once again. Im on 4.4.2 and in order for me to activate HD voice i need to flash mk2 modem and go to dialer and dial those number ie: *#0011# in order to reach HD voice settings and reflash the latest modem
Thanks for the reply.
Does it still work in the GE rom? I don't mind installing that ... I really need it to be easily switchable. I use this phone in a work environment where I also do a lot testing on 2G, 3G and 4G networks. Otherwise I might just downgrade.

If you dial *#*#4636#*#* do you get the testing menu? If so, go into Phone Information and check you are set to LTE/GSM auto or similar.

Sorry to bump old thread but I do not get any testing by dialing *#*#4636#*#*. I am on official stock kitkat.

If you input that code in the dialer (correctly) it should take you to a screen called "Testing". If it doesn't then there is something wrong with your phone. This works on pretty much all phones.
@GDReaper: The Galaxy S4 does not recognize that particular version of the USSD code. It can be run however through the Phone Info app.
@khsh97: Please post the following information:
1. Model Number
2. Android Version, found by going to Settings > More > About device.
3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing Phone Info from the Play Store and running it.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)
Before using GDReaper's suggested method, post the information requested, so that we can eliminate other possibilities for why you don't have a LTE option.

I ran the code before posting and it worked on my S4. However, am running the gpe rom. Maybe that's why it actually worked
That is probable, as I'm running a rooted and debloated Touchwiz and it didn't work. But as mentioned, the Phone Info app is another way to get there.
Sorry for late reply!
Model No: GT-I9505
Android version: 4.4.2
Firmware: I9505XXUGNE8(official stock)
AP: I9505XXUGNE8
CP: I9505VFGGNE8
CSC: I9505VFGGNE2
My phone is rooted with towelroot however the option was missing before root as well.
BTW, I don't have LTE sim, does that matter?
If that matter then how can I check without LTE sim?
And yeah, the code *#*#4636#*#* is not working in my galaxy s4.
I am going to check out phone info app.
If you don't have a LTE SIM, you won't have LTE as an option. Upgrade your SIM to a LTE version and you should then be able to select LTE.

Ok, thank you...!!!
By the way, why the code is not working on official touchwiz roms?
Ask Samsung that question, but don't expect an answer. There could be a multitude of reasons why Samsung disabled it, but unless they pony up a response we'll never know.
Lol, Nice answer!!! Anyway phone info app can do it so why we should argue with samsung for disabling that code.
I think you must have firmware based on your country to have LTE. Now I'm downloading 4.4.2 for my country and I'll keep you posted
@velizarcho123: And you'd be wrong. LTE depends on two things: having a LTE-compatible SIM and having the proper frequencies in the radio chip to pick up LTE service. Assuming the device is neither region nor SIM locked, the moment you put in a LTE SIM Android will load the APN for the carrier into Settings. LTE should then work immediately. If it doesn't, the APN can be modified in most devices so it does work.
That said, if possible, using the firmware from your home region is the smartest idea, as Samsung does modify the firmware a bit, usually by removing languages other than those spoken in the region.

All firmwares have LTE, I does a trick - rooted my phone and modified a system file that enables LTE in the network menu. This is stupid Samsung restriction.

Reread my post. You were able to modify the firmware, but that modification would not have worked if the SIM wasn't capable of LTE and the radio chip didn't support the frequencies used.
EDIT: Just to clarify, Samsung modifying firmware to remove the option to use LTE does not mean the firmware doesn't support LTE. Clearly it has to support LTE if your modification worked. This means that firmware is eliminated as a variable, leaving the two remaining variables as the SIM and the radio chip.
I am in Pakistan and using Warid carrier which has LTE Band 3 - 1800. I have bought a used Samsung Rooted N9005 BTU (UK) which is I believe supports the my carrier band . The stock rom was 4.2.2 (xxugng1). I have tried all the methods to make the LTE option available but nothing works. Here are the methods I tried :
1. Changing the persist.lteon file, it did not work
2. Changing the lteon_netlist.xml"located in /system/csc/common/etc
3. Change from Service Mode gwl
4 . Alot of other ways
Laslty, I installed a custom rom Lollipop by AryaMOD. The ROM worked well and I could see the LTE option in Mobile Networks menu. Unfortunately, the LTE does not work and still I see the Edge connected. I have verified the APN settings and they are perfect according to my Carrier required parameters. Also, I updated my Modem but still all invain.
Could some one help me to figure out the issue that could be there?
I will really appreciate quick response.
Have you tried a new SIMcard? 90% of the 'LTE doesn't work' cases (in customer services) are related to old or damaged SIMcards.

Have tried my sim in another 4g supported phone, and it worked perfectly on LTE/4g

Dear Friends,
I recently purchased a galaxy note 3 SM n9005 32 GB qualcom LTE. It come with a lollipop touchwiz rom, in that time i am able to receive LTE signals. After i flashed CM12.1 then I am unable to get LTE signals. I searched a lot in google and xda but I am unable to find a valid solution. I don't what is my firmware and baseband version when I have stock lollipop rom. I tried *#*#4636#*#* and select LTE mode only. After change this when I searching for network mannually i am not able to connect any network. after changint to WCDMA mode only i am able to receive the H+ signal only. In CM13 also the same issue is present. Please anyone know how to solve this issue, can help me. I have no Backup of stock rom. My current CM12 firmware details as per attachments.
In the droid info app it shows baseband version N900PVPUEOC5. When i google with this baseband version number it showing sprint galaxy note 3. Now I am really confusing that whether I have International N9005 or Sprint galaxy Note 3. I am expecting help from experts.
