I have a new N5 and its unlocked and rooted. I get LTE just fine on the stock rom but when I flash any custom roms, LTE doesn't work. Even when I restore my backed up EFS on the custom rom, LTE still doesn't work. Anytime I nandroid back to my stock rom, LTE works fine. Any ideas or help will be appreciated.

Did you flash Sprint software? It could be the APN.
What sprint software? forgive me im new to this. I did make a backup of my apn of my stock rom and restored it when i flashed a custom rom, but it didn't make a difference.

I think there's some extra APKs you need to add to custom ROMs.
I fixed the issue. I unrooted and returned my phone back to stock. Then I found a sprint. Zip that you flash with custom roms and that worked.

I'm on Sprint and I've flashed most of the custom roms for N5 with zero LTE issues. Which rom did you flash?
There is no custom sprint software this is a Google phone.

Check the APN settings. On AT&T I have to tweak my settings to get LTE instead of H+.

Its a zip to flash after roms that sets the correct APN settings for sprint. I can't remember the thread I found it in though. But it was for the same issue I was having with my LTE/3g switching.

The reason I am searching through posts is this: my 3G works fine. But when it kicks over to LTE... Nothing happens... In a minute or two I may get 4 mbs or something pretty good and then nothing again. I need it to actually work. My wife has the same issue on her S4 and she is stock. It switches over to LTE.... Nothing. I have LTE off mostly. Steady slow 3g is better than no progress on LTE.
update profile
Should provide the correct settings in the custom Roms assuming the creator added the update profile features. I know cm does

yes i'm rooted and i already tried going to back to stock, didn't seem to fix anything.
OK so if u went back to stock u should take it to a sprint store and tell them that it just started to happened and u did a factory data reset and nothing changed.

that isn't changing your radio band, so i'm guessing that you didn't try it. it's a pretty stupid idea, but who cares as long as it works, right? dial *#*#4636#*#* and click on phone information. then push menu, select radio band, and choose USA. otherwise, take it into sprint lol
This happened to me today. Flash to a stock rom (if you aren't already) and update your profile and PRL. Did the trick for me.
Good luck

Would also like to know this too. It takes 30-40 secs to get signal in certain locations that use to take 5 secs tops!

Yea the new radio blows. Flashed back the old one an everything is back to normal
All fine for me, although I did a factory reset after applying the OTA (which I do after all OTAs)

I think you need to be at least on an unlocked boot loader.
then you can fastboot flash it directly or install a custom recovery and flash a .zip version from there
Has anyone else 4g signal dropped on 4.4.2

So guys. I got my VZW GS3 flashed to simple mobile today and it works I got G internet signal and mms and such. But as of now for some reason. On white backgrounds on any app the screen flickers. So it's running bonestock a ,vzw Rom ,do I download Roms for T-Mobile gs3 ? Since simple mobile uses tmobile radios. Or do I still download VZW gs3 Roms and set the apns and such? Will I lose the flash?? Not sure if it was flashed to work or that they unlocked the baseband..
Any advice would be great!!
Im thinking if you paid money for your i535 to be flashed to Simple Mobile... you should ask for a refund.

believe me, i wouldnt do this. My father insisted in switching in order to save a ton of bucks at the end of the month
Were you running BoneStock before the flash? It has been my experience that each S3 is differently when it comes to custom ROMs. A ROM that works for you may not work for me, even though we have identical phones.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
You must stick with SCH-i535 ROMs. Especially SCH-i535 kernels and modems. Most ROMs made for other models won't even flash due to self checking Updater-Script. But kernels and modems do not have this check and you will brick if you flash them.

Gotcha, Ill stick to Verizon S3 roms, hopefully i dont lose the flash, not quite sure if they unlocked the baseband though, Global settings should work if i flash a CM10 rom correct?
and by that i mean setting my mobile network to Global and inputting the simple mobile APN?

You should be able to use the simcard when you change the settings to GSM only. I've tried a T-Mobile sim in my i535 both in Bonestock ROM and CM. Didn't test the data, but text msgs and calls worked fine. I used the phone info app to change settings.

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my phone and installed paranoid android 4.0 beta onto it. Everything works properly but I can't get LTE reception at all. I have tried forcing the phone to only connect to LTE through using *#*#4636#*#* and all I am getting is no service|rogers. I have tried this on other Roms(omnirom) but to no avail. Can someone explain why I am not getting LTE reception in an area I should be getting it?
Much thanks ?
BTW if it helps I live Toronto and I'm with Rogers

Most likely it is your APN settings if LTE was working on stock and you have not flashed a new radio. Unfortunately, Rogers' site has not been updated with correct APN settings for devices past 4.2 : http://www.rogers.com/web/support/wireless/android-customize/1363?setLanguage=en
Those MIGHT work, but somethings can change between updates and being in the US, I've no way to help check. I believe the main issue is the APN has to have this: ltemobile.apn
Found this for the N4, which I am assuming the APNs will be similar, if not the same: http://www.thegadgetmasters.com/2012/11/23/how-to-nexus-4-has-lte-how-to-enable-4g-lte-on-nexus-4/
Good luck.
Yup the APN was the issue thanks!

Yeah the rim does not affect the carrier. Why where you running a D851 rom on a D850? Wifi calling?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You dont really need to do anything as TM and ATT use the same LTE bands and share IMEI databsae info. I had a TM note3 that I used on ATT until I got a G3. The ATT sim will register you on the network and you'll want to make sure you have the correct APN settings ( The ATT store can do it while your there or can tell you what's needed) The only issue I had was the TM modem didn't always get great signal and wouldn't place calls in some areas. Not sure of G3 but ATT modem wouldn't flash on my note 3 via odin or otherwise... Cheers!
