Pre-requisites: Must be 6045i user in an area that has band 12 lte (t-mobile) willing to flash a test hybrid modem/radio. If it doesn't work you just flash back your old modem. I have a version but am unable to test since band 12 is not in my area. I am attempting to combine the band 12 portion with parts of the 6.0.1 modem. Some issues encountered by users are apparently because they are using the 5.0.2 radio.
If you meet all the requirements and are willing to test please PM me.
Who's gonna test this 6.0.1 modem with band 12 support?
Come on...should I assume folks don't WANT to keep band 12? Eventually we will have to move to the newer modems to maintain compatibility with the roms. I've made a 6.0.1 radio that has the t-mobile config from 5.0.2. This radio works FINE on my personal phone for bands 2 and 4 but the closest band 12 is around 80 miles away. I've placed the test radio here under the "testing" folder: https://mega.nz/#F!u0UBAICD!DzKYnswfK5J6dw5WQNgEDg
ok, went and done did some tests.
with some interesting results...
--
note my starting point was the marionette's material rom. with 6.0.1 radios zip from famewolf's repository flashed over the top of the factory 5.0.2 radios.
i'm in southern california where Tmo has band 12, on a 6045i
--
questions:
1. are the radios supposed to be flashed right over the top of what was there, or is some partition supposed to be wiped first?
i flashed the radios each time right over the top of whatever was there, so if that was not correct, it would of course effect the results.
2. are we sure that the 6.0.1 radios do not have band 12 already available?
--
semi-related observation:
it appears that the lock screen issue of not being able to change the security method to anything other than none or swipe may be related to a temporary condition with the radio, rather than a permanent condition. as prior to testing this, i couldn't set pattern and so installed the 6.0.1 radios so i could set pattern, and then at the beginning of testing i installed the 5.0.2 radios and i still had the pattern lock screen functional. so the radio appears to only effect the actual act of changing the lockscreen, but doesn't have any other effect after the lockscreen has been set.
----
testing
-> i started with the 6.0.1 radios which i had already installed and LTE Discovery showed i was on band 4 at my office.
i didn't do anything else here because of the premise that i did not have band 12 available with the 6.0.1 radios.
-> i reinstalled the 5.0.2 radios, drove a short loop, and LTE discovery showed i was getting bands 4 and 12
as expected
-> i reinstalled the 6.0.1 radios, drove a short loop, and LTE discovery showed i was getting bands 4 and 12
i had reinstalled the 6.0.1 radios with the intention a little scientific method of documenting the lack of band 12 in the 6.0.1 radios, prior to the next step of testing famewolf's radio.
i do not know why, but i was getting band 12 after installing the original 6.0.1 radios.
this is why in my question above i ask if we were sure the 6.0.1 radios did not support band 12.
-> i installed famewolf's test 6.0.1 with band 12 radios, and drove a short loop, LTE discovery showed i was only getting band 4
so, this was also odd, as it was the opposite of what we were expecting.
-> i installed the original 6.0.1 radios and drove home, LTE discovery showing me going back and forth between bands 4 and 12 the entire drive.

It was widely reported that T-mobile was requiring manufacturers to remove band 12 in phones not fully compliant with VOLTE due to the possibility you could be somewhere where you could get ONLY band 12 and you would not have 911 access. Multiple people reported that the 6.0.1 radio stopped access to band 12. I provided a copy of the 5.0.2 radio and several others reported band 12 came back.
Now keep in mind I'm not in a band 12 area so I have 0 chance to test this myself. I took the t-mobile configuration file for the 5.0.2 radio and put it in the 6.0.1 radio...it's possible they also made additional changes I'd have to fix but I had to start with the simplest possible solution. Please take a couple of days to confirm your results. If you can't get band 12 on the hybrid then reconfirm you CAN on the plain 6.0.1. Please note the phone detecting the presence of a band 12 tower does NOT mean it's connecting to it...you need to actually SEE that you are connected to a band 12 tower in the lte discovery app.
Ok, more tests.
reloaded the 6.0.1 hybrid band 12 radios, and drove to work.
LTE Discovery reported my connecting to bands 4 and 12.
so, on a 30min / 20mile drive the hybrid radios will at least do the same as what the 6.0.1 original radios did last night.
both radios, 6.0.1 original and 6.0.1 hybrid, will connect me to bands 4 and 12 on the same commute route.

Recently with the delay on 5.0 for the US LTE variant, because of AT&T, I have lost my patience with them. I am looking for a way to rid myself of this BS while maintaining full stock software. I have heard that the variants of the tablet are actually not different, and the firmwares may work on either model. Has anyone tried this? I'm well aware the cell bands supported may change (but my carrier only requires one band, and the WW variant supports one of my carrier's bands). I would love to know if it works, and if I can dirty flash the package to keep my data, since the rom is basically identical.
I flashed OTA posted in general forum for LTE and using it in ATT. Unlocked bootloader, CWM, and root afterwards. I'm not quite sure what you're looking for?

Bricks.
No what i'm asking is if i could convert my device to the WW variant with a firmware flash, and thus avoid needing to manually flash OTA files becauze of delays. I know this isn't going to be the last update delayed on the US variant so i'm wondering if i can just switch the installed software from the US LTE version to the WW LTE version, without bricking.
Yeah.. I am thinking the same thing as well.
If it was possible without bricking the device, I would love to flash the "Rest of the World" firmware on the AT&T set too.

You're welcome to try it with the factory images. If it does brick, you can always restore through the same process. I plan on attempting it soon, but i am waiting on a microsd card.

Theoretically, the only thing that would be changed between builds is the GSM stack. However the OTA between the WW and the US version would not work by default. You'd need to go into the OTA zip and mess around with some of the build.prop info. Which then may cause MD5 mismatches when it is parsed, and would definitely affect subsequent OTA updates because of MD5 mismatches.
If there are Android 5.0 factory images available for the WW ROM you feel would be suitable for your geography, then this would be the safer way to proceed.
I remember when I owned a Samsung Galaxy S2, there was an XDA thread with flashable modems you could push to your device to get better reception in your area. Essentially the differences between the WW and US/CAN versions should only be the GSM stack, and perhaps some carrier-specific bundled app (like the AT&T app for example).
Just a quick update for those who are interested:
Well ... I just did it. Successfully flashed the RoW recovery image on the Shield Tablet LTE set which I purchased from US via Ebay. I'm still in the process of restoring but so far everything seems to be working fine.
Confirmed 2 things during the flashing of recovery image,
Quote:
1) Issues of Cellular/Sim Card on the US LTE set is almost certainly Lollipop firmware related. No problems on FW 4.4.2
2) Problem of Wi-Fi authentication error after sharing files via Super Beam ( Wi-Fi direct ) is also resolved after revert to 4.4.2
I think I will be sticking with 4.4.2 for now with the added bonus of file managers working on Kit Kat.

Thanks for the update. I am interested in this also.
So i'm assuming from your post you got LTE working? Which country are you in? Where do you get the factory images from?
I live in Australia and have the US LTE version. HSPA+ is good but it would be nice to have LTE working on my network (Telstra).

Actually, I don't have a 4G LTE micro sim card with me so I can't verify that at the moment. I am trying to test it out using my friend's sim card and will report back with the results. In my opinion, it's not a good idea to be trying my nano sim on this.
I'm from Singapore and the network I'm on supports LTE Band 3 & 7 and my AT&T Moto X which supports Band 7 works out of the box.
Got them from Nvidia developers website but you have to register for a free account first.

Yep I need LTE band 3 for my network which is not supported out of the box by my US LTE shield. If your network supports LTE Band 7 then your shield should also be able to access your LTE network as BOTH the US and RoW LTE shields support LTE Band 7.
So I don't think your experiment will help me. Is there any way finding out which LTE Bands your shield supports now that you have flashed the RoW recovery image?

I am not really an expert on such matters but let me try and if it's possible to find out the information you are looking for.
Why not try flashing it and give it a go ? There's the bonus perk of removing the AT&T app from the device.

Hi, I am currently using US LTE NVIDIA Shield Tablet in Singapore as well. I have successfully flashed the RoW recovery image to my tablet (since I'm downgrading from Lollipop as well, so I thought I might as well try), but I noticed that there is no baseband file in the recovery image package. I proceeded to flash anyway.
One thing I noticed after flashing is that I still am not getting LTE (half of Singapore is band 3, and my home is under its coverage). So, it's pretty safe to say that the baseband is not affected by the factory image.
However, it might also be that the latest recovery image doesn't cover the baseband, and it might be included in the previous updates. So, I'm trying to download the previous recovery images and see whether there are baseband images are there.
EDIT: baseband image is not in there. The baseband version is definitely still for North America (e1729-nala.4.05_0.6.3 @786934, notice the 'na' part?).

Sorry I don't really understand ... the RoW software cover for both Band 3 and 7 since the UK edition supports these LTE bands as specified in Nvidia FAQ.
You should still be able to get Band 7 coverage which the NA edition supports as well, right ?
Am I missing something ?

Thank you. That is exactly the information I was looking for. Unfortunately there is no point flashing the RoW recovery image if you wish to change your baseband (and then use different LTE bands like I want to).
Is there anywhere I can download the RoW baseband images? I remember they were readily available for my nexus 4.

As I said, the image doesn't include the baseband image. So, no matter what you flash on the rom side, it won't matter.
Also, about band coverage in Singapore, it's not a full overlap. Some areas are band 3 (south and west), while some band 7 (North and East). I know this from an M1 engineer friend. So, yeah, no LTE band 3 in this factory image here.
But not all hope is lost. If one day Nvidia decides to update baseband, it will then definitely include the baseband in the OTA or factory image. So, possibility of switching is still there.
Was there a baseband update with the latest software update (2.0)?
The factory images for 2.0 have still not been released.
In another strange twist when i turned on my tablet this morning I was surprised to see my US shield had LTE here in Australia. Which means only one thing - Telstra are expanding their LTE spectrum in my area!

I downloaded the OTA manually and checked the content. It doesn't have any baseband update. Also, just to confirm again, I actually re-installed Lollipop. The baseband is still unchanged (only the suffix @ part changed, but I think it's just some marker).
I checked wikipedia, and it seems that Telstra has band 3 and 28. There's a good chance that they switched your area's band to 3, or they simply add band 7 (the latter is, of course, ideal).
I read that Nvidia is preparing an update to the existing Lollipop system. Hopefully they will include a baseband update, then we can probably make the jump to the RoW ROM. For now, I'm sticking with the US ROM first.

Okay ... I see that you are not able to get Band 3 coverage. But just to confirm, you are still able to get band 7 4G LTE coverage on the ROW Rom right ?
My phone 4G LTE is on Singtel, getting pretty good coverage island wide on Band 7. Unfortunately, it's a nano sim and I'm hesitant to test it on the tablet in case in gets jammed inside the slot.
So long everything works fine, I'm sticking with ROW Rom as it will probably not have none of the nonsense whereby it require AT&T approval before release.
Sorry to trouble you on another matter, I have reported this 2 issues to Nvidia customer support but just want to check if it's just my set or an common problem.
1) Cellular data connectivity will not return after enable aeroplane mode. SIM card is subsequently not detected.
2) After sharing files using Wi-Fi direct ( SuperBeam app ), Wi-Fi connection doesn't auto reconnect due to failed authentication. Require manual intervention.
What I can say is this 2 issues no longer occur once I downgraded the software from Android 5.0 back to Kit Kat 4.4.2

According to Nvidia faq, the North American version that works on AT&T, T-Mobile and Rogers on LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7, and 17 and HSPA bands 1, 2, 4, 5.
I see that this article ( http://www.cnet.com/au/news/telstra-expands-its-4g-services-including-the-700mhz-band-trials/ ) states that Telstra is conducting trials for 700mhz (Band 17) in your area. Maybe this is why you have begun receiving 4G LTE reception in your area ?

I initially thought it may have been the planned 700mHz expansion by Telstra in my area HOWEVER Telstra's 700mHz expansion is actually Band 28 (not Band 17) and my US shield does not work on Band 28 out of the box. Although LTE Band 17 and 28 both use the 700mHz spectrum they both use different parts of that spectrum so are not compatible.
What I think has happened is there is some LTE Band 7 coverage in the middle of town here which is where I was when I got LTE coverage today. As I understand it Telstra has some limited LTE Band 7 coverage with most of the LTE network being Band 3........ so I'll still have to wait until I can flash a RoW baseband which will hopefully give me Band 3.....
Four things to note before proceeding...
1. This only works for users having vs985 model outside the US or not on verizon network.
2. I'm beginner im not responsible for any harm to your phone , I'm just sharing what i did to attain 4g services.
3. May be you already know all the things in the post but it can be useful for beginners like me .
4. Sorry for the english as its not my native language.
So Hi guys i installed this rom and as usually i was not getting any 4G or lte network.
Then i go to my network provider's website to check on which Band or frequency 4g services are active. ( for this i just googled 'idea 4g band' and i am redirected to my network provider's website. Here 'idea' is the name of network provider.)
So i found that in my region 4g services are active on Band3
Different careers use different Bands to provide 4g services such as band40 , band17 etc
Then i go to phone's hidden menu by the Advanced Menu of Fulmics Tweaks.
In hidden menu i select Modem Protocol > LTE Band Selection
There i select Band3 but i got "Fail' message on screen , however when i select band4 it gave me a 'success' message.
It means on my phone band4 is active but not band3.
All this information of Bands are stored in Modem or Bootstack section of our phone.
May be fulmics rom is having a band concerned with international rom So now i need a modem on which Band3 can be activated by going to hidden menu.
So i just flashed 35b Bootstack compiled by @xdabbeb.
Which can be found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/xdabbeb-s-vs980-2-0-0-t3231279
After flashing when i tried to select band3 in hidden menu it gave a 'success' message . It means Band3 is activated on my phone. And now when i searched for all networks in Networks Menu of Phone Setting. I got my network listed and i successfully registered on it. And got 4G NETWORK.
So first of all you should know on which band your network is working and then try flashing different bootstacks on which your 4g Band can be activated.
Flashing wrong Bootstack can brick your phone
""Do not flash any bootstack above 35b. Custom roms are still not compatible with bootstacks above 35b""
You can try 24b , 12b. (But im sure only about 35b as i tried only this)
Again I'm not responsible for any harm to your phone. Use your mind and search thoroughly before taking any step.

Hi there, thanks for the info. What area are you in and where did you find what band you needed? I have tried numerous times with all the bootstacks and never had consistent 4G.
@mopartonyg
I'm in India and i just checked my career's website to know which band they are using. However in USA Verizon wireless uses Band12 as Primary Band and Band2 , Band4 as Secondary band to strengthen the signal in densely populated urban area. So if you are verizon user in USA band 12,4,2 must be activated. I can't say anything about consistency as it varies from place to place.
Actually Verizon uses band 13 for it's primary along with bands 4 and 2. Not having any luck getting data to work on Fulmics with this method. I select band 13 and band 4 (as band 2 is not in my area) yet even with that I still can't get data at all on Verizon with Fulmics.
same boat here... actually the only band I can get working is 4. I have to assume the design of the international rom with the band they are designed around, just don't play nice with our CDMA harware/modem partition. I would suspect that the international roms would require some engineering for them to really work properly. not sure if just porting them over and chaning settings is going to get the job done. perhaps someone more intelligent than I could share some light, but there certainly is a conflict with how these roms communicates across the CDMA bands in the US

One thing i noticed here... that only Verizon sim users are facing problem regarding 4G whereas other international users like me ( and some of my friends in China are free to select any network ). So may be verizon is creating restrictions as when i was on Stock vs985 verizon Rom ( unrooted) , i was not getting any official ota updates. It always says your software is up to date. But then i found a statement in Verizon's website that you will not get any official updates if you are not having verizon sim.
So verizon knows what Rom and what sim we are using.

A couple of good approaches to the issue. Although it needs to be noted 4G is directly related to the band on each carrier (VZW, TMO, etc) See Below
Carrier 4G LTE Bands Frequencies
Verizon Wireless 2, 4, 13 1900, 1700 f, 700 c
T-Mobile 2, 4, 12 1900, 1700 def, 700 a
Sprint 25, 26, 41 1900 g, 850, 2500
Europe 3, 7, 20 1800, 2600, 800
If a specific ROM cannot be set to the correct bands above, it would make sense to me that Verizon wouldn't work in Europe on a stock VZW ROM. It would not be able to use the channels in Europe.
And vice versa, that Verizon wouldn't work in the states on an international ROM in the US. Whether the Verizon SIM is blocking that band, or the design of the ROM, would be a better question for the developers.

Warid's approved devices will definitely work with Warid's LTE network. For our "Warid LTE Approved' devices please visit the "Warid's LTE devices" section. You can also purchase LTE devices that support 1800 MHz (FDD-LTE Bands 3) from other sources. However, Warid doesn't take responsibility for these devices if they do not work on Warid's LTE network http://www.waridtel.com/lte/faqs
So it makes sense that if BAND 3 works international (see above) that you get 4G
The one thing I noticed after activating bands 13 and 4 (with the proper VS985 35B bootstack) in the hidden settings is when I searched for my network under network settings it does bring up Verizon but it fails authentication. So it's like there is something missing in Fulmics ROM itself that would get it to where the ROM will work with Verizon's network. So is it a matter of lifting whatever files from say 47A/47B into Fulmics that have the Verizon VS985 specific info to get it to work perhaps?

I think now its not a matter of bootstack. Because even when Required Band is activated we can't register to the Verizon. Xpirt mentioned in a post that he is working to resolve network issues in Verizon models. We can hope that this problem will be solved in next version However xdabbeb shared that the 47A modem won't work without the corresponding 47A secondary bootloader (sbl1). Unfortunately, the 47A sbl1 doesn't play nice with the last bump-exploitable Android bootloader (aboot) we have from 12b. If you use that pairing, you'll put your device into 9008 bulk mode(Hard brick).

The good news is we do have 47A ROMs that are using the 35B modem so there is potential that Xpirt could use that as a source for a fix with the authentication issue. So @xpirt if you need anyone to beta test fixes my VS985 is ready to help!

Great discussion towards the development of the International ROM's for our VS985. I was able to get 4G with Andy's 30A ported ROM...although the signal bars never came up on my phone, I was able to get the 4G speeds. I noticed that the APN XML was filled with Chinese... So for whatever reason and way, my phone was able to grab "somebody's" 4G tower. I'm hoping the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) and libraries were pulled over and perhaps this could provide some more insight to @Xspirit

I am on BlackSoulxxx latest LG G3 Tekcafe v5.3 D85530A-Full G5 ROM. Here's what I did to get the bars with 4g data. I tested it out in areas where there is no cell service and in areas where there is 1x or 3g and the 4g came back. I even made a backup of the ROM wiped and installed another marshmallow aosp rom and others. I then went to restore BlackSoulxxx ROM and 4g signal still came back.
Steps I did.
1. Tot'd back to stock 10b and rooted and installed twrp.
2. Flashed LG_G3_Flash2BackupEFS.zip of the 10b rom.
3. Wiped stock 10b and flashed the 10b G3_EFS_Flashable_Restore.zip that was created from the the LG_G3_Flash2BackupEFS.zip.
4. Flashed BlackSoulxxx rom and after it booted up I had signals but not data until I entered the Verizon APN manually see picture of what to enter. If mobile network is greyed out flash 35b bootstack.
5. I entered the verizon APN and selected CDMA then global I got the 4g icon with signal bars I changed the icon with a buildprop edit.
I just don't get signals while in 1x or 3g but data does work still and it will get 4g again if your in a 4g area. The phone does say T-CDMA 64. Here's a https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-EyVOQK1xDAa0VmbERXcUlrV1U/view?usp=sharing to change it to Verizon Wireless courtesy of @xpirt.

Great job posting your step by step instructions. I've been able to achieve all of the same on a host of international ROMS however with a couple of caveots. I can either have SMS/MMS working properly, or break SMS/MMS and have internet with signal bars. Question about the file above. This will just modify the header, or will it specifically put you on the Verizon network?

Some folks have noticed that the radio's included with marshmallow remove band 12 from the list of available lte bands. I've created some flashable radio zip's that allow you to go back to the radio for 5.0.2. This has been confirmed to restore band 12 functionality while still allowing you to run marshmallow. No additional changes are required or expected. It ONLY updates the radio. To my knowledge t-mobile is the only provider using band 12. I've included some others for folks having connectivity issues on variants other than the 6045i. Please report in if it restores your band 12 access. The flashable zip files are at: https://mega.nz/#F!u0UBAICD!DzKYnswfK5J6dw5WQNgEDg
These should be flashable via TWRP and for the 6045i at least I've also included the 6.0.1 radio so you can go BACK if you run into any strange issues. Hope it helps someone.
*update* I've added a flashable zip named 6045X_Backup_Modem_to_sdcard.zip to the folder as well as a readme with general instructions for people wanting a radio not already in the folder. Basically you get someone not yet on marshmallow from the same country you are in to run that zip in twrp and it will put a copy of their modem at /sdcard/modem.img. Get that file to me and I'll make a flashable zip for it.
Not works for 6045Y

Hi @famewolf
First of all thanks for this, but it do not work for me or other users especially from Spain, in other zones from Europe it works and i and more other users of the 6045Y versions start thinking that this could be a problem for Spanish versions, so i think we could do a update zip of the modem/radio especially for Spanish users and to do this it will be great if you could help us with the process to create it.
Note: Of course i done all tutorials to make LTE work without successful.

Have someone still on 5.0.2 run the backup_all.sh if on linux or the backup_all.bat while the phone is connected via usb. Upload and post a link to the modem image along with listing the specific model and I'll create a flashable zip for that model/region. The 6045Y radio in the folder comes from france. Is band 12 available to you in spain?

Your question haven't any relation with the text you quote , i'm saying same you told me. The question is that the bands in radio zip posted here to 6045Y model don't work for Spain, because modem is from France and bands in France and Spain are bit difference.
This radio zip is working for some people in Europe but not for Spain.
I'm not trying to come back band 12, i'm trying to come back the band needed in Spain (if it's possible).

The band 12 question was strictly on my part...they were always focused on getting lte working again. To my knowledge only T-mobile (in the USA) uses Band 12. I am curious if T-mobile uses Band 12 anywhere outside the USA though.

Having mediocre reception since upgrading to stock MM in USA and I think this could resolve my issues.
The thing is I've never rooted the phone, so I am guessing I have to revert to 5.0.1 and then root the phone and then upgrade to MM and then flash the modem?

Well..technically you don't have to be rooted to flash twrp and that's the only requirement to flash the modem zip...the problem you will have is I've heard mobile q is flashing marshmallow for the 6045i now.....so you'd have to flash the panasonic eluga switch software to get back to 5.0.2...flash twrp....then upgrade to mm using one of the rom's in android development so they won't wipe out your twrp. I saw at least one person say the factory rom won't wipe out your twrp either but I wouldn't risk it.
Down here in the Tampa bay area band 12 is everywhere for cricket wireless it's literally the only lte band I am always on from Tampa to spring hill. I cannot risk using an mm build till I know for sure I can get band 12 back on the cricket 6045O. No complaints about the cm12.1 build marionette has going tho it's great. I'm still tweaking the CPU settings to get the bat life up a bit more. I'm looking at around 5-6h sot right now which includes running summoners war for 2-3 of those hours so not bad for 5.x

Quick question famewolf, can I get the files necessary for modem flashing for the 6045o from the stock unrooted backup I made of the stock firmware? Its a backup made right after I activated the phone using the instructions from the thread in this forum. Boot and system image twrp options I believe.

A 6045O modem flashable zip is already available in the modem folder. The folder now includes two additional flashable zips that allow you to back up your OWN modem to /sdcard/modem.img and the 2nd zip will flash it back to the modem partition. This should take care of just about any scenario. Details in the Readme.txt in that folder.
As you stated however, TWRP only does system and boot by default...it's not going to handle modem, aboot, spl, hyp, rpm, tz, etc.........

Hey that is good enough for me, I'll play with it next time I get 2 days in a row off, thanks for all the volunteer service you do for us. I definitely would not have got this phone if not for the epic work of the idol 3 xda community!
On cm 12.1 marionette this 129 dollar phone performs as well or better than my coworkers high end stock Samsung and apple devices, heh. And they spent crazy money on them or have 2 year contracts with added monthly phone payments, ouch!
Well Alcatel gets props too, the design of the phone is solid and the display really is beautiful for an IPS display. I originally was dead set to get something with an amoled, and while sitting next to my buddies s6 his color still 'pops' more but the brightness is almost identical and the color on this thing looks much more natural and realistic.

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
jacob019 said:
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?

Thanks for clearing this out.
Hello
I got an S5 klte with lineage os 16 official.
I had the feeling that the 4G reception is worse than stock rom, especially in rooms.
So I installed the app "LTE Discovery" and noticed, that it always stays on LTE Band 1.
With other Devices the Band switches between 20, 7, 3 and 1.
I already installed newest Modem and Bootloader and did a clean install.
Is that a bug in Lineage?
Any ideas how to improve reception?
Thanks in advance
I noticed, that the Bands are shown correctly, when I use the app "Cellular-Pro" with root access allowed.
Then it switches between Bands 1,3,7 and 20 like its supposed to do.
When I use it without root, it only shows Band 1 again.
So I think the modem works like it should, but lineage doesn't display it correctly without root access.
