is there any custom 4.2.2 ROM which have LTE working?
saw few posts about stock and LTE working on some radio versions, but nothing about custom roms;

no one knows?
no ROM with LTE support? :crying:

So very few people can actually get it that its not worth devoting a whole ROM to it. The Nexus 4 can only get LTE on band 4 AWS and this exploit was fixed in radio version .48 by Google. If you live in an area covered by AWS LTE, which are few and far between right now, then there are a number of threads on how to activate it.
It's not the ROM that needs changing, just make sure you're on an older bootloader/radio and you'll get LTE if your network supports it - stock or custom
unfortunately I updated the OTA, and the LTE support is broken now
for that I was thinking maybe some smart guys figured out something

Manually flash the older bootloader/radio from the 4.2.1 system image
here is the thread on fixing LTE after the 4.2.2 update

I have a rooted, OEM Unlocked Spice Dream Un running on Android 5.1 stock rom. According to the Spice website, it supports the 4G frequency in my area, 1800 and I have a 4G SIM card. However, the phone only allows 3G and 2G. Is there any method or ROM to circumvent this? I have seen one for the lg g3.
Thanks.
Nope, our android one doesn't support 4G
Oh. That's sad.
HI Guys
My questions is kinda awakrd
Right now, i have a international version of nexus 6p, which supports worldwide 3g/4g bands, and that the reason i buy the international version
Currently, I sideload (ota) the 6.0.1 Os.
However, my question is, does sideload (or ota) the 6.0.1 changes the network band of your phone? I am a frequent traveller, and their 3g/4g is not on a universal standard.
Since Google developer image sites doesnt provide much info about (network band/mode) it (at least for 6p). I was curious did any of you know the answers?

Enabled network bands won't be affected by system updates. The bands are enabled at a software level much deeper than that.

so those 6.0.1 version ROM on developer sites are good for us/intl version devices right?
even i installed that ROM, i still get my same network band 3g/4g right?

Yes.
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!

Looking forward to getting it fixed and use it as my daily driver. It would totally be worth a big donation, thanks to everyone working on making this available to so many.
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?
