Looking for a way to update my own PRL running on the Sprint network. I have my MSL and already enabled the other LTE bands so I know that functions correctly. Thanks!
I am wanting to do this as well. Dial codes work but i cant find the one to write the prl. On samsung TW roms its ##DATA## but that dosnt work here. I tied *#*#data#*#* and that shows some menus but none to wright the prl
Seems like I remember seeing that there is a SprintHiddenMenu.apk that ships with the phone. Do you see it in /system/app? Not sure if it will have a PRL update option, but might be worth a look. I'll be using mine on Sprint too, so I'd be interested to know what you find.

Woot!
I'm trying to do it manually so I can put prl 00001 on it

I wouldn't be surprised if sprint hasn't had enough of your 00001 prl flashing.
Anyone figure out how to do this? We need diag mode, diag driver and probably a new version of qpst.

Definitely still looking...I saw they figured out how to do it with the LG G2 so since this phone is loosely similar I imagine the process should be close. The G2 has to have a diag mode enabled...I really think the key is figuring what dialer code this actually is.
Looking forward to this too. LTE keeps breaking after 30 seconds or so, not that the speeds are any good in Chicago anyway. Can't wait to do some Verizon roaming. Being stuck on Sprint 3g is not ideal.
Yeah but the problem is the LG G2 does not have the same software. This phone isn't only built for Sprint so I have a feeling it will be more difficult.

It is built for Sprint. That's why it works on Sprint. It's capable of running on every network short done lte stuff with Verizon. It won't run Verizon as a primary but does roam there. I'm sure there is a way just weather or not you will have to use cdma tool to do it.

Has there been any new info on this? My girl is almost about to activate her Nexus 5 (once the sim card arrives). But really need to be able to force roam or at least use 00001 prl.
Bumpity Bump. You guys figured anything out yet? Would love to use the corporate PRL for actual 3G roaming.
Bump :X
Hoping someone finds something soon. I always roam on Verizon at my house but my plan only lets me use 1x... Need dat 3G xD.
Hello everyone. I will be moving to Japan in the next few months. As I currently own an U.S. Nexus 5, I was curious as to what issues I might encounter when using it with Softbank. As I understand Softbank uses LTE bands 1 and 3 and the U.S. Nexus 5 supports band 1, so I am assuming it should work fine. Any information is greatly appreciated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Asia
That says 1, 8 (coming) and 11 with 41 as an extention channel to get more bandwidth.
Thanks, so I am wondering as the U.S. Nexus 5 only offers the LTE band 1 and 41, would I experience less speed or less reception on LTE?
Your phone only uses 1 on the bands at a time and will switch if the others are better. if you don't have access to the others then you'll be stuck on 1 channel which may or may not be congested. It all depends on the network as to how that will behave.

Thanks for your reply. I helps clear a lot of things up. I will be posting some more questions under a different thread to keep this one on topic (specially considering other people that might be interested in this information). Thanks again.
I'm using the Nexus 5 now with Softbank. I bought the phone thru the US play store. It works but the MMS is kind of wonky. I don't get some of the photos my friends send me.

Thanks for the information. What do you mean by wonky? having issues with the characters? are messages not been received? are messages arriving halfway? are you using a third party sms tool or the one with the nexus 5?
Did you have any issues getting a sim card for your phone or did you just put an iphone sim card with an adapter on the nexus 5?
Thanks for the information.

what apn settings are u using as i cannot get the data to work
It is ridiculous, but I can not find how to enter Service Mode on N9005 device. All codes I found are unactive or blocked. I just want to switch 4G, which is active on my sim card, but it is samsung software limitation that holding me back in my country. What code should I use to switch on LTE/4G network? I wanr to enter Service Mode on my unrooted N9005 device.

Not. Samsung disabled all but a select few dialer codes.
You can give https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viaero4gtoggle a try, maybe it works.
You could always just flash a different version over it. As long as you stick to official and the same region, your KNOX stays at 0.
Same situation here I just want to turn on 4g and my service mode is blocked. Can you post if you find a solution. Thx

The problem is that I see only wcdma/gsm in settings therefore I need to enter Service Mode to switch on LTE.

*#2263# is what works on my 9005
I also have tried everything I can find to get 4G or 4G LTE to work.. I actually spent about 30minutes with a wonderful ATT tech support guy who was going to call Samsung for me but my screen crashed and I lost the Chat session.. bummer.. He did ask if I had access to the 2100band but I couldn't for the life of me remember the code to get there.. I posted it up above..
On my phone I found that 850band will offer H, and 1900 will offer H+. the only network available in the area is one named Maritime.. No ATT though I have an ATT sim and it shows ATT on the lock screen on the 9005.
I can't figure it out. My APN settings are correct and copied from another Note3 900 ATT model from a Samsung rep at a Bestbuy.. My N3 900 model gets 4G and LTE with the same sim and network I haven't looked into setting further yet.. Will do tomorrow..
I was in Watford yesterday and my n9005 on 3 network automatically switched to 4G, got 21mbs down and 8mbs up. And they let you use it for free . Probably not a terribly helpful post but hey just thought I would share.

I too had difficulty getting 4G on my HK 9005 in the UK. I confirmed with the carrier (3) that my account was active for 4G but aside from that they couldn't help. In the end trying to rule out what it might be I found a friend of mine who was also on the same carrier and had 4G working for sure on a Sony Xperia and we swapped SIMs to see if his worked in my Note and vice versa. Now for the strange part. My SIM worked with 4G in his Sony and his SIM also started showing the LTE option in my Note. So we swapped back and my Note still continues to show LTE in the network options and now gets 4G with my SIM.
No other changes made and it works. Just swapped a known working SIM into mine and my SIM into a handset that was know to get 4G. Not sure which kicked it into action or why but I now have a Note that is happily running 4G.
Could be a bug, might or might not work for others, but thought I'd share just in case.

On O2 UK, they have to supply you a new sim card as the oldies don't support 4G. I never had it in the options list either, just 2G/3G. Sim swapped and I have to say.......POOR!!! Very rarely see 4G unless I am in the middle of nowhere! In town centre where I used to get H+, I now get 'G'.
Was it worth having an LTE phone?????
I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T and couldn't resolve the issue of why I don't have data working.
Can anyone help me to figure out why I can't get data with this ROM?

Being this phone has T-Mobile radio bands the first you need to do is unlock it, which if you have the ability to make phone calls I assume you did this or someone did for you
Also you will need proper APN set up, this should have been something you tried spending an hour on the phone with ATT. So that leads me to believe that there is an alternative APN setup that you need, just do a Google search and you will probably find a couple setups out there and try them all
Do note that you probably will get lower data speeds being this phone isn't working with the bands that ATT uses - but I'm a T-Mobile user so haven't specifically tried to get mine to work thus have no experience to help further

I forgot to mention that data was working fine with the stock ROM, both the one the phone came with and the OTA upgrade version.
I just installed CM 11 snapshot M8, and have the same issue of no data. Prior to installing (through TWRP 2.7.1.0), I did a factory reset, then wiped Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, and Data.
Why would would the stock ROM work but not these others?
Did you go into settings and change the APN in cm11 yet?

That did it! I had to select ATT Phone. For whatever reason, ATT LTE doesn't seem compatible. I live in the hills, so have inconsistent coverage, but the indicator goes from 3G, to H, to H+, then back again, based on... wind, clouds, barometric pressure, or whatever the usual issues are. Anyway, I've been with AT&T since 05 and the only time I actually saw a noticeable increase in real-world speed was going from an EDGE device to a 3G device. 4G doesn't seem to be any faster, which I believe is due to backhaul issues, not connection speed of my phone to a tower.
Sprint note 5 unlock full , is there a way to get tmobile 4glte on this ? I was told that sprint lock that from there phones so I have to enable aws
The Sprint Note 5 variant contains the LTE bands to support Tmobile's B4 and B12 LTE network. If its unlocked you don't have to do anything but just pop in a Tmobile sim card. Not sure what is the confusion is. In addition you have to set your Network mode to be Automatic in Mobile Networks settings.
My note 5 is unlocked by sprint. And i do not get LTE from tmobile, only 3g. When i switch to automatic, it stops working and i get a "!"
Yup but it does have 4glte capabilities, also I was suggested to try verizon but they don't have unlimited plan, at least know I get my clients photos and respond don't have to hang up and all that
I get lte on mine but texts only work on 3g unless I use my google voice number
