Only getting H+!

Hi I have a note 3 N9005 with t-mobile. It does not get LTE even though LTE is checked in the settings. Does anyone have the same issue?

Are you in an LTE area?
Currently only 4 cities have T-Mobile/Vodafone LTE, I don't even have an LTE option

T-Mobile only has LTE in specific areas. Even though it is selected in the network mode, if your area is not LTE ready then it will revert to the best possible speed for your area. I am with Telus and have LTE enabled on my device but it shows 4G in my home as I'm in a fringe area. When I leave my home and travel about 100 meters, I have LTE and it will display the icon.
It was my understanding that T-Mobile disabled the LTE band on their device. If you rooted, it's possible you enabled the LTE band partially in that it's shown but even though selected, the regional settings have not been updated to reflect the ROM you installed for LTE capability.
Have you rooted your device?

When I had my HTC One before getting my Note 3 I was getting LTE in my area. So I'm pretty sure that t-mobile does have coverage in my area! And yes I have rooted my device.

OK, if your device is rooted, have you installed the T-Mobile ROM onto the device? Have you confirmed this ROM installs an LTE capable modem? If so, follow step 6 at the bottom of my thread to ensure you've enabled the regional carrier settings thus essentially turning on the LTE modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489766.
If you do not have a ROM installed with an LTE capable modem, flash a compatible ROM and follow step 6 and you should have LTE capability.
Hope this helps!

I'm only getting H+ aswell and on my old phone with the same sim card and plan I had LTE!

Like mentioned, T-Mobile just recently rolled out LTE in specific areas. The problem here is not the network but the phones capability of communicating with the network. My device is from WIND Mobile (Canada). This company only supports 4G data. The phone is LTE capable but the modem has been crippled. I rooted my phone and installed the Telus ROM (which inadvertently installs the LTE modem). Once installed, LTE is no longer crippled and once I entered the correct APN settings for LTE, I had access under my network options to select: LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect). Problem was when doing this, I would still only get 3G. The phone was displaying the capability but it had to be enabled by modifying the regional settings and selecting the provider ROM. At this point, everything was functional and LTE capable.
Hope this helps!

I can't install any firmware other than the n9005 model ones. I tried installing the T-Mobile ROM but it gave me an error.

Like I've suggested to others, please follow the documentation from start to finish in the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2489766. With regards to ROOTING in the first set of instructions, replace the downloadable file with that which corresponds to your model. With the second set of instructions, when downloading TWRP, from the linked site, go back one directory and download the hltetmo version of TWRP. When you get to the third stage of instructions, download the file which represents T-Mobile's version of the ROM.
This should work for you but if not, let me know and I can assist where possible. Another individual had a similar issue who was PM'ing me and with a bit of time and troubleshooting, they're now up and running.
Hope this helps!

I did root my phone. I did successfully install TWRP. but for the 3rd step I don't know what firmware to download! I downloaded a few t-mobil ones and N9005 roms but when I try to flash them using Odin, it just fails. can you post the link to the correct Rom for my phone please? I have the N9005 model.

Well, in my 3rd step, I've listed ROMS for the SM-N900W8 model and you required ROMS for the International 9005 model. I would first load into TWRP by powering off your device and then once powered off, power on again using: Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button (all at once). When you see the Note 3 logo, let go and you will be in TWRP. Ensure you do a full wipe/format through TWRP and now you will be ready to install another fresh ROM rather than overwriting an existing ROM which can cause problems within itself. Once at this state, download an appropriate ROM from this link:
http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/SM-N9005-Galaxy-Note3-Snapdragon.html
The ROM I would go with is:
Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon) SM-N9005 TPLPoland (t-mobile) N9005XXUBMI7 4.3 11.09.2013 1628120 Download
This one I think has LTE but if not, you're safe with downloading any one of these variants. If the above does not enable LTE, you must research the carrier to ensure they have LTE. Please ensure you follow the last steps of the instructions to enter into the regional carrier settings and select the 3 digit code for the carrier ROM you installed.
Hope this helps!

FYI....
Here is a list of carriers world-wide who support LTE and the frequency they support:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
If the ROM I suggested does not support LTE, this is what I would recommend:
Look at the different carriers provided in the original link I gave you for 9005 ROMS. Match one of these to this link showing supported LTE carriers. Make sure the frequency of this LTE carrier is supported by your phone then download the ROM. Once the ROM is installed, go to your regional carrier settings as I've listed in my rooting instructions and change the 3 letter code to match the ROM you just installed. Once the device resets and reboots, you should have the capabilities your device originally crippled.
Hope this helps!

This is what I have gathered from you Baseband...
The model of device you have is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (International - Snapdragon). It was manufactured October 2013 and was the second batch or build released for public purchase. The Countries/regions your phone recognizes are as follows:
Austria
Belgium
France
Germany
Hungary
Italy
Nordic
Spain
United Kingdom
This means that you must install an International ROM supported by one of these Countries for the device to successfully load it and boot up. You currently have the device unlocked and are using T-Mobile. This does not mean you must have the T-Mobile ROM loaded on the device to enable features which have been crippled. All you must do is research 3 letter CSC code for the ROM you download and ensure that carrier supports the features which are currently being crippled at the moment with T-Mobile. Once the ROM has been downloaded and installed through ODIN, as previously stated, enter the CSC menu on your device and select the 3 letter code which represents the ROM you just downloaded. The link to obtain a ROM (as previously provided) is:
http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/SM-N9005-Galaxy-Note3-Snapdragon.html
Please make sure the ROM you download supports all the features you wish to enable and that it also supports one of the locations listed above. At this point, a ROM should successfully load and you should be operational.
Hope this helps!

Possible to Convert LS980 to D802 ?

Please HELP!!!
can you guys please tell me is it possible to convert Sprint LG G2 (LS980) to International version (D802) firmware?
looking foward for your help.
thank you!

Yes it is possible with lots of searching and hacking. It is way easier to do permanent SIM unlock procedure and easier than that, use a custom ROM. See link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
Here's my knowledge from the conversion. I could follow the steps in that post but the phone never really worked right. The steps to make the phone work on GSM carriers caused menus to disappear from within the phone, such as ability to change APNs. It works but there's a better way.
I flashed an AOSP ROM to my phone. Shameless plug here for LiquidSmooth beta, I've had the least problems getting a working phone with that ROM, actually works out of the box. While on AOSP, I can replace my Sprint LTE SIM with that of another carrier, reboot the phone and then go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change radio mode to GSM. I'm using an AT&T SIM now, domestic even and can SMS, MMS and have HSPA+ data, no LTE. If for some silly reason I want to switch back to Sprint, just swap SIM card, reboot phone, change radio mode in the hidden menu. Simple.

Thank you very much mate :highfive: ! but actually what i want is to have D802 (Stock) firmware on LS980. because D802 is getting updates so quickly. ( Knock Code) i searched for a way to convert but i couldn't find it. can you guys please tell me is it even possible? because both devices are have same hardware except the LTE band! looking forward for your advice. thank you! :good:

I know it's possible. I read once what has to be done. There's some trickery that has to be done in the build.prop which makes the phone think it's another model which would allow the flash. All I can say is search. It is on the XDA forum. The term used was CID change. Found a ton in 2 minutes all related to HTC One on Google, finding the G2 should be easy enough with search.

Once time converted, the frequencies GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G) it work or not?

Please someone answer this last question .
Once converted, will the converted LS980 support the frequencies of D802 ( GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G)) instead of the LS980 frequencies ?

Simple answer is "No" . because frequencies are hardware things. we can only change softwares. LS980 will not have D802's frequencies by anyway.

Yes there is a way to do it but I don't know, me too I'm searching for this solution, because I bought a used LS980, and when I plugged it into PC the LG Support tool ask me if I want to upgrade the software of the phone (Into Lollipop) and the actual version at that time was D80230e, I let the authorized the LG Tool to download the update, and when finished, everything goes wrong the phone became unusable, when I push in a zone it react in another, and it was really hard to achieve the first steps of the configuration, when finished I decided to open the phone and look at the motherboard and bingo I found that it's an LS980, then I downloaded the LS980 firmware, I flashed it, and everything became OK, except the lost IMEI, then I tried to resotre the EFS backup that I done before that I upgrade it with LG Tool, and then the phone stay on the LG logo...Right now my phone is out of service, I use it as camera and nothing else...I'm searching for solution every time but I found anything...Is there any solution ?

What about changing motherboard only, will that work ?

Hey all im totally new to this and i apologise if this has been covered. I had a samsung galaxy note 4 and my darling kids thought it would be an epic idea to stick things inside the charge port totally ruining it and making the phone unchargable. So i contacted samsung repair center and was quoted a ridiculous price to repair and i just bout a new one to only find that its not an australian version i have a sm-n910k and my original one is a sm-n910G what can i do i cant get 3g i cant get lte i can only get 2G and minimal bars of service at that if anyone can help any advice atm is great advice thank you all in advance.

Go to settings/mobile networks and set apn settings manually depends on your sim carrier and country.
Just google your sim carrier apn settings and you will find easily.

Did you bought a new device, n910k or was it a replacement part? If you're comfortable, you can always change the USB port itself. I've done it for my Note 2 before. The USB port should be just a ribbon cable so you don't have to worry about soldering and stuffs like that. The prices are also way cheaper too.

Apparently the usb port is tricky to replace as its apart of the screen as samsung has told me and its a whole new device its the korean version im not sure what to do as the place i bought it from is a long distance away from where i live and i was wondering if there was a way i could install like the sm-n910G firmware to it. Im at my wits end with this and not sure what to do.

Oh right. I forgot about that. It was a simple plug out and in for my Note 2.
The issue right now is that the n910k, most probably does not support Australia's LTE bands. Hence the reason why you can only connect to 2G. You can check out gsmarena for the supported LTE bands for different models.
You can install a stock Note 4 Exynos firmware from another country with a carrier that uses the same LTE band as your carrier. It should be safe as some members here are able to install different firmwares meant for another device on their device, example N910G on N910F provided the CPU are the same.
Go to SamMobile, and find the firmware for Note 4 and you can see a list of Note 4 firmware available for download. You need to do some leg work though to ensure that the firmware you're flashing is meant for the Exynos version and the modem supports your carrier's LTE band.
This video shows what I'm talking about.

No don't install over the n910g over your n910k. N910k is using a different cpu than N910g. N910k uses Samsung's Exynos processor and N910g being a Snapdragon processor. Idk what would happen if you flash a N910G over a n910K but I think it would be considered lucky if your phone would be able to boot up.
Your n910k should be able to run on another firmware meant for an Exynos processor like n910c. I just don't know if, after installing over your 4G would work because of different LTE bands. But this website says there's a chance it might work.
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/zYzu9/samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910c/australia
Usually in most cases, when a user accidentally installs a firmware meant for another variant, assuming they would get past the samsung boot up scene, they would not be able to get any network connections. This is due to different firmwares having different modem files for the different LTE bands. However if you were to install over a firmware with the same internals as your current device and more or less uses around the same LTE bands, it should work.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/zYzu9/samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910c/australia
Usually in most cases, when a user accidentally installs a firmware meant for another variant, assuming they would get past the samsung boot up scene, they would not be able to get any network connections. This is due to different firmwares having different modem files for the different LTE bands. However if you were to install over a firmware with the same internals as your current device and more or less uses around the same LTE bands, it should work.

Here you go. It's every firmware ever listed. You need to create an account before downloading though and the download takes forever. You can install the firmware when your phone is in download mode using Odin via your computer.

You can try a random one. Preferably one without a telco. Example, N910C and not N910C (telco name). It shouldn't matter much as the difference would be that the one with a telco would come preinstall with the telco apps. Also, preferably from a English speaking country because usually the language would be based on country.
I would recommend you to download the original firmware for the n910k in case if this fails, you would be able to fall back to the original firmware.

X720 on T-Mobile

I searched but wasn't sure of the answer. I saw some say that the baseband on the 720 and 727 are the same. Will the 720 have band 12 working if I use in U.S.on T-Mobile? If not, is there a way to get it working?

I have now gone through every page of the question and answer section and have no answer. I'm now moving to the discussion section to research, but if anyone knows, please help.

You probably didn't look "every where".
X720 does not have support band 12
But there is a file you can flash to support band 12 on the x720
You have to flash the img file inside the zip file via fastboot (Assuming its unlocked)
Using the following command
Fastboot flash modem *insert zip file name here*.img
Insert the name the name of the image within the stars you see above and type .img at the end. Please dont include the *symbol when you type it out
Edit: Excuse my explanation its 2am
Edit 2: I'll upload my copy if the modem in a few minutes

Please note that it says 19's but users have reported that it will flash on mostly any rom you want it on.
Works best with stock rom
Good luck

Thank you. I looked at several threads.I didn't see anyone confirm that they were on 720 and band 12 working. I saw people with 727 flashing 720 roms and getting band 12.....but I probably missed it somewhere. Thanks, though

To be totally honest, in theory if the software is flashed correctly, you should get B12 connectivity. Same thing applies with the Galaxy s7 series. You can flash a Sprint variant to T-Mobile for full T-Mobile support, and then flash that to Verizon for full Verizon support. But the Sprint variant doesn't support Verizon's frequencies until you flash the verizon software. If the radio hardware is the same between devices, you should be able to flash a 727 ROM for T-Mobile support. I'd say give it a shot and let us know! :good:

I tried it on an x720 and it wouldn't see the sim. I had the cm13 teamsuperluminal rom on it.
I had to flash the stock rom to get it to read my sim again. Make a backup first and have a copy of the stock rom before you flash just in case.

Interesting. Not sure what happened there. From what you're saying it looks like the x727 can be spoofed as a x720 but not the other way around. It should be dsds for multi-sim so it should have worked.

Thanks for the info. It's all for naught now. I cancelled my order bc it was going to take a month bc of Chinese New year. I went with the honor 8 bc I wanted a smaller phone. I just hope Huawei will release the source code so I can have at least a fully functional CM

S7edge SM-G9350-NO 4G DATA**I WILL DONATE $50-$100 TO WHOEVER GIVES ME THE SOLUTION**

The exact model is Samsung Galaxy S7 edge SM-G9350 64 GB GOLD PLATINUM
First I want to get this off my chest. I registered this week (I used XDA before like 7 or 8 years ago in high school when I use to flash custom ROMS on windows mobile phones-good times hehe)because I am frustrated since I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 edge from a stranger using craigslist on Sunday night. The ad said it was T-mobile Unlocked and in brand new condition with the box and original accessories and it had some pictures.So why not buy it cheap for since I'm using a T-mobile LG-K7 with a cracked screen,right?WRONG!! The phone is working fine except I am only getting EDGE data!!! I found out that it is a chinese variant and it works fine with my T-mobile sim card here in the U.S.A except it can't connect to 4G and that is probably why the shady guy sold the phone cheap to let it become someone else problem I also saw 1 or 2 of these models in the box as well and he said a friend gave it to him and he is just selling it(B.S.) I forgot craigslist had scammer like 40% of the transactions lol, I use to meet these types of people in middle and high school when I bought and sold my used or old T-mobile phones though I never scammed or conned any one.I remember some people would act shady or too nice for no reason,probably cause they stole the phone and were making 100% profit off me.This same guy is one of them.
ANYWAYS THANK YOU FOR READING MY RANT---- NOW ON TO THE POINT OF FIXING THE DATA ISSUE
I am getting unlimited 4G on my k7 and everyone else on our plan is using unlimited 4g just fine.Samsung rep at best buy said its legit and its an international chinese variant and to look around on here to fix the issue. He told me something about the band and t-mobile towers to pick up the frequency. He said I got a really good deal if I can 4g on there. If not than re-sell it and make it someone elses problem. I looked all around google the past few days an either no one has this problem or if they do than the solution doesn't work on my phone.
Here is what I tried so far:
A) T-mobile reset the network connection via tech support
B) I factory reset the phone numerous times
C)I got the right APN settings set on the phone to be connected to nearest towers, a store rep did it for me to make sure.
D) I replaced and used another activated T-mobile sim card
E) I download some apps I saw on here to check LTE signal etc and its running very slow edge
*********I am on the sim status screen and right now as I'm typing this the signal strength is
-61 dBm 26 asu,cellular network type is EDGE,NETWORK is T-mobile, Service state is In service,Roaming is not roaming,cellular network state is disconnected*******
------I hope someone can pick up information off of that and maybe I could change some settings
E) I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and got to a screen to allow me to check phone information,battery information,usage statistics,wi-fi information-under phone information there are options to set preferred network types to: WCGMA,GSM, GSM auto(PRL), CDMA auto(PRL),CDMA only,EvDo only,GSM/CDMA auto(PRL),LTE/CDMA auto(PRL),LTE/GSM(PRL),CDMA auto(PRL),LTE only,Unknown. It will only stay on up to GSM auto(PRL)
....also when I press menu on this screen there is an option to enable data connection and when I click it,it won't stay,it just keeps saying enable data connection
F)I googled what bands this model and it is able to use and it has the capability to be used on T-mobile bands
What else can I do get the data working to 4G right now? The phone is running Android 6.0.1 and won't update to Nouget over the air. I want to root the phone and see if I can install a custom Nouget rom( since the samsung guy said the phone will brick if I try to install the T-mobile Nouget rom or I can't even do it since its an international variant-by the way I am able to have google services on here like play store,etc. so I don't know if that makes a difference to what variant and rom it is because I heard one or the other of hong kong or open china variants for this phone is better and can't use google play)and maybe I am able to connect to 4G data.
Like the title of this post says, I promise I will back up my donation I really don't want to sell the phone unless I have to because I will not get a better deal anywhere ever again for the latest high end phone from a manufacturer

you have to flash the correct CSC this will fix your 4G if you buy an device from a other country than is it possible that you get this problem but when you flash the correct CSC you will get 4G i helped so much people with this problem with a S7 device, i think this your solution
if this fix works for you just keep your money we are developers not for paying

Maybe you should post this in the T-Mobile section.
In my idea this should have 4G data on T-Mobile US out of the box as the required LTE bands are supported by the G9350. Did you check the APN settings? (VoLTE and WiFi-Calling may or will not work without t-mo-rom but that's another topic)
Also you should be fine to flash a T-Mobile US rom as both have Snapdragon SoC. You don't need root to flash an official rom.
Out of curiosity: what about 3G?

Thank you so much!!! People have actually asked through pm to donate to bitcoin first before helping me and here you are helping me first by the way.
I am going to find the correct CSC, what does that stand for? Can I flash a T-mobile 7.0 Nougat rom on my Galaxy SM-9350 first that the person before you replied about(its the link)?? I want to do both to have T-mobile settings and to use the 4G although the 4G is a thousand times more important. If I can do this than I am a happy man!
Why is there a boot loader and modem link attached to every post containing a ROM download? Does that need to be downloaded first,and what are the next steps,if so? I know these are questions I need to search about they are all confusing and mumbled and jumbled up. Even though I registered this week for help I was a member here like 8-9 years ago in high school when I was flashing custom ROMS on Windows mobile phones(good times hehe) but it got addictive,took a lot of my time from studying, and I totally forgot how do things.

Hey I made a new thread today in Q&A for GS7. The APN settings were put in by a T-mobile store associate and it still didn't work. I don't care about VoLTE/Wifi-Calling although I noticed some people on here are worred about that-its just something I never use.
Are you sure I don't need root to flash an official ROM?The Samsung Galaxy guy at Best Buy said it would brick if I used an official ROM because the phone is an international variant. If I can use an official ROM,I can't get Nougut OTA via T-mobile anyway as my phone keeps saying it is updated even though it is 6.0.1. How do I get the offical ROM manually on the computer? Samsung Smart Switch isn't even recognizing my device when it is connected and Smart Switch on my phone looks like it is only suppose to be used to receive files from another phone? I have the link for a T-mobile 7.0 ROM from a post on here that he used on the same exact model I don't know if I am suppose to root the device first or not yet since it looks custom made.
Thank You for helping me out it means a lot you guys are the best! I can already see myself on here a lot in the future doing stuff different android phones like I 8 or 9 years ago in high school on windows mobile phones.

The only data I am getting is EDGE

So, I guess something is wrong.
You can try flashing the designated firmware for this device first and see if this helps. To get the right one (who knows what all was tampered with) use best the Phone Info tool.

I've had this exact issue before, with a Nexus 5 that I bought from Telus, I am with Telus, it ended up being I had to go buy and register a new SIM card, then it was fine, might not be a solution for you but Worth a try,
Actually get a SIM card from your provider, have them register it in the store

1) Download this https://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/twrp-3.1.0-0-hero2lte.img.tar.html and WAIT.
2) Download superman ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634750162
I choosed this rom cause it got nougat bootloader and kernel. Also download CSC chooser zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120710484
3) Install twrp via ODIN and uncheck auto reset in odin. Then press power + home + volup to go to recovery. Put the superman rom and CSC chooser zip files on Sd card and put back in phone.
4) Install Superman rom,in aroma pick superstock kernel 'samsung pay and knox work' and install/update everything especially the bootloader. In mods stick to stock as possible.
5) Install the CSC zip file and choose t-mobile USA.
6) reboot and pray everything works LOL
I'm not responsible for any damage that might occur but if ir worked donations are welcome to help a medical student here

Nice, I like what you have! My model is different so I don't know if the ROM will work though I'm almost finished downloading it at the moment. Instructions 3 and 4 is confusing. Don't I need to put superman ROM and CSC file on sd card while the phone is ON?And am I suppose to transfer it on there via usb cable or can I also do it via google drive than open in up phone gmail and put it on sd card? Also do I need to extract the CSC file first to my computer desktop? That file takes forever to extract! Is instruction 4 suppose to be while in recovery mode? Also is it normal for my phone to show "no command" while in recovery mode?

Thank you ?
The rom will work because your phone is exynos based. It got a different model number because it's for Chinese markets. Put the rom on the SD card using whatever method, just do it before flashing the recovery, because your phone may not boot after the recovery to the stock firmware because Samsung has put some crap to prevent using custom firmware. I forgot to say that also before doing anything go to device info - > software - > and press build number several times to enable developer options then back to settings and go to developer options and enable OEM unlocking.
Yes, commands 4 are made in recovery. Install - > pick the zip file and install.
All zip files aren't extracted! The recovery uses the zip file as it is.
Good luck

Were you able to flash the U.S. T-mobile ROM onto SM-9350?
The official firmware can be found on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/

I found it yesterday but their free server is under maintenance so he will have to pay to just download a firmware file.
I don't know why don't samsung provide them for free on their site!
