Anyone tried adding LTE frequency to our device?
I own D800 att version and want to use it on 800 (i think its band 3) which is not supported by default. I found a thread here on xda but wanted to ask firstly

Hello there,
I've recently bought a D801, the T-mobile US G2, and i am moving to Germany. I know there is a T mobile Network there, but I don't think they use the same LTE bands. My question was if by developement we could use the modem files from the international version D802 to get LTE in Germany with the D801 since the S800 should support worldwide LTE, no?
Thanks! that would be awesome!
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)

Ok thank you, question solved! thanks
Hi all,
I cannot post into Flashable Modem Zips [All G2 Variants] so I've open this new thread to ask the following: I'm using a G2 802 with D80210e-ESA-XX firmware; LTE bands are 900/1800/2100/2600/850 but how can I check which bands are really supported from the radio?
This cause I'm thinking to upload a EUR firmware and it should use the 800 MHz instead of 850, so I'm looking for a way to check if the band is supported and if it's really used once I've changed the fw.
Is it possible to perform this check? Thank you.

Nobody can help me to handle this?
i request to all developers specialy cloudy fa to make a rom that can support all frequency bands on all devices.much people that use branded g2 facing this problem they cant use LTE of some specific network at all.like me i have 4 verizone lg G3 vs985 and G2 vs980 i cant use LTE band 3 i tried many roms also band enabling method to qualcom devices but failed.can you the great developers bake a rom with this uniqe feature that nobudy tried yet? pr any simple solution.........
+1
it this technically possible ?
why not it should be i hope somebudy wiil make it
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?
