[Q] Nexus 4 Lollipop 5.1 How do I enable LTE 4G - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated to stock 5.1 from 5.0.2 yesterday. Prior to this I had LTE 4G on T-Mobile. Now I'm back to 3G . Does anyone else have this experience? and are ther any solutions out there I could use?
I'd value any input or advice on this issue.
Thanks

I tried too to revert 4g on my 5.1 n4 but after i wiped everything ( excepting system ... ) i got a lovely bsod ( blank screen of death ) i don't think is a sollution yet , if i done something wrong someone please explain us how to get it properly back w/o probs , wait for some ideas thanks .

You'll obviously need to be sure the hybrid modem is installed. Beyond that as I recall, I had to "force" it to see the LTE network by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting "LTE only" for the connection. After that I was able to set it to "LTE/GSM auto" and it has worked correctly since.

I tried that but it did not offer the ability to make that change. I could on 5.0.2. I'm not sure where to get the hybrid modem? any Ideas would be helpful. also does anyone know which hybrid modem to use for T-mobile? Thanks

Go to settings -> About Phone
The Android software version number and baseband (modem) version will be listed. If the last 2 digits of the baseband version is greater than 33, you will not have LTE capability.

Thanks for the reply and info.
I did check that, but I'm not clear what you mean when you refer the Baseband Version last 2 digits
I also have that App installed and it does how seem to work with 5.1 It does not look like its been updated recently
any Ideas?

Reboot to Recovery and flash above LTE .zip
Reboot
Done

I'm sorry for being a little slow on this, but when you say reboot to recovery, what do you mean exactly? I have the file downloaded though. Is this a hack or is this something that was made for this phone by Google? I guess what I'm asking is, could I screw up my phone from doing this and if I do, can I revert back to where I had it prior to this if it doesn't work or don't like it?

I guess you are asking the same questions in 2 threads. Download the enabler listed above to your pc.
Start up the Nexus Root Tool Kit
Connect your phone via usb
Then use the advance options and flash the filefrom your pc to your phone
I hope this helps Let meknow how it goes

To help your self out It might be useful if you read the post from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60115195&postcount=771
It will help you understand the whole process and how to do it. It will also give you lots of background on the issue.
To perform the "Flash" I use the Nexus Root Toolkit. which can be found here.
I hope this helps you. Let us know how it goes

This is perfect! Thank you!
I'm noticing that the settings done keep after a reboot. I don't have to reflash the modem, but I do have to go back into the 4636 settings to re-enable LTE. I've heard this might be fixable in the build.prop? Any thoughts?

You do it straight from your phone. Download the file, boot into your Recovery, go to the folder you saved the file in (likely in your "Downloads" folder, and just flash the .zip file from your Phone's recovery, and it will do all the necessaries.

It worked flawlessly when I flashed that zip from recovery. All relevant settings changed from 3G to 4G and HSPA to LTE. Speed went from 10 to 36mbps (Telus Canada). ROM is 5.1.1 LMY48T

Thanks that got almost work for me but it says its for android 5.1+ and I am on android 6.0.1 aosp ROM.
But after that I flashed this and bingoo. I can use LTE only in Android 6.
Used this http://www.mediafire.com/?2thymqa7fiiyrqy
Now I can able to click on 'only LTE' from phone info
And it stays at LTE only.
Before this when I goto phone info and it got gsm or wcdma even I click on LTE now its working for me.
I found that zip file from anywhere else I don't know where so I had uploaded and shared here.

Here is what I found about version check. Give it a try if you wish
a) expand nexus-4-lte-enabler-v2.13.zip
b) edit META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
c) replace 5.1 with 6.0.1 in this line
( is_substring("5.1", file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.build.version.release")) )
d) update zip with new file
e) flash zip

HELP!!!!!!!Flash ME2 fail lose wifi

Recently I flash ME2 with Odin 3.07 and it failed after modem.bin showed up. I have tried to re-flash for many times but still failed. Now I cant't turn my wifi on anymore. I have I9505 Virgin Mobile Version. Please need help!!!!!!

Is your phone a locked version or unlocked version. I don't know is this is a matter.
Common problem with ME2
All you have to do is follow these instructions:
1) Flash ME2 once
2) go into the phone > turn WIFI and LTE (data) on and off a few times each
3) Flash ME2 again
4) boot into phone - should be fixed
report back if this works

there is no logical reason WHY this should work. From a mathematical and logical point of view all of the files should be replaced once its flashed once, however, i was told to do this same process when flashing Omega v3.0 ROM (as it is based off ME2) before you attempt to install the ROM and it worked for me.

Thanks again, I have download the ME2 file from 6 diffident resource, and I had same problem with them. I flashed the virgin mobile version rom just now, and everything work perfectly again. I guess the problem is my phone is because I purchased it with a contract and it is locked with virgin mobile, , and I think that's the reason why locked phone can not flash ME2, the modem.bin is not supported (just personal guessing). If anyone has the same problem now, I suggest you to download the original carrier stock rom and flash it with Odin, and wait until the proper flash method is found.

No signal - Can't connect to network

Hey guys I'm having a little problem with my GT-i9505. Problem being that I cannot get any reception on my device. It first occurred when I flashed a 4.3 rom over my 4.4.2 rom. I've tried switching to several different roms, both 4.3 and 4.4, yet none can fix the problem. I've tried to flash at least a dozen modem's in a bid to fix it. I searched for the modem suitable to my device and yet they still didn't work. I even tried to just install the official Samsung 4.4.2 rom via Odin, yet I'm still having the same problem. My baseband does change whenever I flash a new modem, but I still cant get a signal. When I try to search for a network in settings it lists the main carriers in the UK, but when I try to select mine (3 UK) it doesn't allow me to register, clicking select automatically yields the same results too. I've been searching for hours today on how to fix this, but just can't seem to find a method that helps. Any suggestions?
Have you tried manually entering the APN settings for 3 UK?

Take your S4 to a repair shop. Use Phil,s recovery when you re-root, install Omega ROM or another Samsung based ROM and, using Philz Touch 6 recovery, make a copy of your EFS file so if / when it happens again you can reinstall Omega or whichever ROM you installed and, using Philz recovery, you can reinstall your EFS file.
To make the backup, reboot recovery - backup and restore - custom backup - x (only in efs backup) - start custom backup - choose where to put the backup.
I use Omega as a reference because I know it will not screw up your EFS file.

I had the same problem with my i9500 after flashing a Slim rom Perhaps you can get a copy of an efs file from someone with the same phone and then put it on your phone, or get the information you need from your phone company.

I now have exactly the same problem as you. I tried (once again) to install a new ROM on my i9500 (SOKP this time) and now (for the third time) my phone won't register on the network. I'll take it to China Unicom in the morning and let you know what happened. Unfortunately I don't speak Chinese very well but I will try to watch what the repair guy does. Perhaps it will be of some help.
I took the phone to China Unicom but the tech that repaired it last time wasn't there.

did you try searching for a signal outside?
i'm on three uk network and signal indoors is absolutely atrocious! (especially since they started "upgrading" to 4g networks - i had the exact same problem with t-mobile switched to becoming ee, i don't know why these companies are so intent on breaking networks which worked perfectly before by "upgrading" them).

[Q] [SOLVED] 900w8 No Service

Hi there
Recently I encountered some issues with my Note 3. google playstore did not allow me to sign in and no notifications appeared on my screen (the phone has root, and TWRP). I decided to try out CM11, downloaded it from the original site along with gapps on my internal sd. i wiped data cache .. the usual and installed the two files except they did not do anything. I download the custom recovery 1.3gb file using odin. booted up and noticed that my service is not working. i called my service provider to see if the problem was on their end but wasnt. i factory reset the phone via settings... same problem. i went into recovery wiped data and cache booted up and same issue.
IMEI= has not been blacklisted
I occasionally do see bars appear however no change in service status
I tried flashing TWRP again and installing CM11 except i get a "failed" message "unable to mount"
I sure hope I did not kill this phone
any idea how do i get service back on my phone? everything else on the phone works besides service provider....
Thank you very much!!
Not sure if this means anything ...
When you had it working with a Touchwiz Rom it could have been your APN settings that were not allowing you to get signal.
If I were you I would start fresh and download the factory image from sammobile and flash it again using Odin. We can start troubleshooting from there.
Did you use this tutorial to get a custom recovery installed? Its really straightforward and I recommend this method over all others.

1. Check for Reactivation Lock
2. Check that you are NOT downgrading your bootloader.
EDIT: You are downgrading your bootloader, or else you wouldn't get the aboot fused 2 > binary 2 error.
You will have to flash stock, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26660
Flash that in AP of Odin. Then you will be reverted back to stock.

You might have to set up your APN settings after you have done that. You can google the APN settings for your carrier and then put them in manually by going Settings > Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
You'll be able to add them in there.

Put your SIM in your phone, download Advanced Signal Status from the Play Store, and show us some screenshots.
In this menu you get to see more information about what is going on with your network.
Have you also made sure your APN settings are set correctly?

I compared APN setting between my two devices (both are the same carrier and same model of phone ((borrowing from someone)). APN settings were the same except APN Protocol and APN roaming protocol were dark and could not be changed. even though i couldn't change it it was still listed as ipv4 same as the working phone.

I gave that a try, rebooted the phone, attempted a call and "Not registered on network"
would changing the ROM have any impact on the service for whatever reason? i gave CM11 a try but wouldn't instal.
Seeing all that you've tried, the one thing i don't see tried is the sim card. Have you tried your sim in another phone, or another known good sim in yours? The fact it gets signal but doesn't register with the network makes me think the sim had somehow gotten corrupted.

Thanks - I forget to mention I did in fact try that previously without success as well.

Sorry, I did not previously perform the step you out-lined. I thought you were referring to restarting the band.
I just did as you instructed and now the phone is not connecting to the South African networks(previously phone and SMS worked.
Now in the Cellular Network Settings, there is a new option 'System Select' which is selected to 'Automatic' with the other option 'Home only.'
Ideas?

Did you check you have all the APN's setup in your device? you should see 6 in that list. Verizon Internet APN should be selected.

With regards to the APN, I only have four:
EHRPD - VZW Roaming CBS
EHRPD - VZW Roaming IMS
LTE - VZW Roaming FOTA
LTE - VZW Roaming Internet
And nothing is selected.

Can you help? After selecting USA band, phone is no longer connecting to the cellular network...

Change your band to Band 6. turn off your phone and restart.
As for System select, it should be set to Change CDMA roaming Mode. Preferred network type, set it to Global.
For APN, if nothing is selected then select the one that says, Roaming Internet.

Sorry added more comments take a look at it. I had a similar issue in Mexico, I made the following changes to make it work. Once you get your network connected, then you can go back and change it to USA band if you want.

System Select should be 'Automatic?' I tried both 'Automatic and 'Home Only' and the other settings you specified and it is still not connecting.
I also did a factory reset and still not working??
Please help/

OK, if none of those are working. Then your best bet is to reflash a radio. You will have to unlock your bootloader, Go to fastboot mode and use the flash all script, to reflash a factory image to your device.
There is a thread in the General help section, that can guide you thru the process. Remember unlocking bootloader will wipe your phone clean.

So, I'm going down that path, downloaded the 'angler' image for the Nexus 6P, unlocked the bootloader, issue ./flash-all.sh and it comes back(using terminal on mac) and says:
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: angler-02.01
Baseband Version.....: angler-02.15
Serial Number........: xxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------
checking product...
FAILED
Device product is 'angler'.
Update requires 'bullhead'.
__
I need to download 'bullhead' then - although it says that is for the Nexus 5x? Feel like something is jacked.

Something is not right. It should ask you to download Angler not Bullhead. Dont install Bullhead on your device. Do you have the right version of ADB fastboot?

I'm an idiot. I downloaded 'bullhead' instead of 'angler' from the beginning. Flash is going through now - hopefully this will fix the radio problem. Will report back shortly.

What is not working? What is not connecting now? if its only the Data part, then did you go back and re-enable data roaming?

Signal

Hello.
I just flashed the latest Lineage Rom and i'm having a problem with signal strength, it's zero. I tried switching through 2g 3g and lte and no succes. Only thing that works is to shutdown-open the phone and the signal is ok for 10 minutes then it goes to zero. Should i try another clean install?
Usually the error is com.android.phone has stopped, when i try to switch networks i usually get this error.
Also the battery heats up but afaik its normal until the rom settles in.
[Solved]
1.install 12122016build(cyanogen) and and back up only boot from it.(via TWRP)
2.install the newest build(cyanogen) and restore boot from the TWRP backup you made
The error shouldn't appear when you try to change the network, I suggest you to do a clean install
I have the same problem... no one replied to me yet...do you have the SIM unlock screen on first boot? or you need to reboot once again after you install the rom?...

But at Network Operators it just says Searching... and dosen't find anything, it stays on Searching... for minutes.

On fresh and first time i open the phone it says that i don't have a SIM.
If i reboot it says the same.
If i close the phone and then open it, the phone reads the SIM for a few minutes and then it doesn't work.
Tried switching to Airplane Mode, switching 2g, 3g, lte, no succes.
You have the same problem in CM as well?
after installing the rom i dont have the sim unlock screen, on 2nd boot i have sim unlock screen, it says i have signal but calling doesnt work, data dont work, cannot search for networks too..and yeah after 10 minutes or so the signal drops out and i have no service
when i posted in the development thread because nobody replied in the Q&A thread i got s**t on that i should write to the Q&A thread and give logtcats too...
then i added the logcats and even posted in the Q&A thread again but no answer...

Newest build Cyanogen or Lineage?
Why don't you just install the lasted version and extract the boot.img from the functionality one without doing all that fuss backuping and restoring?

Well, did not found a functional rom until now, im just downloading different versions, flash them and see which one works, backup boot.img from the one that works and extract it in latest version.
12122016cyanogenmod boot.img and latest CM13 not LOS13 works, i have tried that...
let it go and return to stock.Honestly when the source-code for harware is not open source , no custom rom will be ok on the long run, is just change . change and change..and seeing how easy it is to brick this device , in my oppinion is doesnt worth the trouble.
