Got my new Play Store N5 this week and got it all setup rooted and ROM'd, but I realized yesterday that I wasn't setup correctly to use Sprint's tri-band LTE Spark. It had been connecting to LTE fine on one band, but I wanted to see if the extra two would help increase speeds and maybe some coverage, so I followed a guide I found on here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/sprint-tri-band-activation-help-t2515798
Now my phone won't connect to LTE at all. I've called Sprint and even stopped in at one of their repairs stores, but I can't stand being asked to restart my phone or hit update profile again after about 20 times already. One of the techs even said I need to get a new phone!
Can anyone help with this? Would reflashing the stock image help at all? Was the tech right, do I really need a new phone?

Aren`t they overwtitten by flashing the stock rom?
They may be by flashing stock images, but not by just resetting or flashing another ROM.

I've tried reverting them to no avail, plus they seem to change whenever I update my profile/PRL. But if you could post what you have them set to (especially if you are using Spark) that would be fantastic.

How does Sprint roll out updates for the N5? Is it just through profile updates? Buying from the Play Store, I will never receive an OTA from Sprint, right?

To be honest I'm not sure of the "how" of it. I just read an article, a little while back, saying they were going to do an update to activate spark on their devices.
Edit: And you shouldn't have an issue receiving it since you're connected to Sprint service.

Sprint submits the changes they want to Google and Google incorporates it into their Android updates. LG and Sprint had long ago fixed whatever their issue was with the Spark update rolled out for the LG G2 in late jan/early feb so it's mainly up to Google now to push the update.
As the Nexus 5 is not native to Sprint and is basically the phone for the entire North American region, Google will not push an update just for one specific carrier. Thus we Nexus 5 users on Sprint have waited over 5 months for the next Google Android update which will enable B26/ B41 (aka Spark).
p.s. Availability of band 25 PCS 1900 LTE tends to screw with non Spark updated phones.
I followed the steps in the post linked in the first reply (used Method 2, Method 1 kept failing fastboot halfway through) and reset my phone back to stock. But it still doesn't want to connect to Sprint's LTE. I even played around with the LTE radio settings again in the hope of enabling Spark and nada.
Would it have been possible to corrupt the phone software totally while doing this to begin with? Do I need to send it back? (and on that note, you have no idea how frustrating it is to explain to a Sprint rep on the phone that you bought the phone from Google online. Such a foreign concept to them!) Could the SIM card have gotten corrupted and I just need a new one of those?

Update: So after downloading the necessary files to my laptop at work, I followed the procedures to reflash to stock again this morning. It came up as failed activation at first, but after hitting update profile and rebooting the phone, I'm back on LTE again. And after checking Android Central this morning, it seems like I should just wait for Google to fix my Spark issues...

So tempted to roll back into the Sprint store that told me I needed a new phone and shove my LTE-enabled phone in their faces.

Hi,
I've the verizon m8 outside the Us. In my country the LTE network has started to work during the past week and its 1800 mhz/ channel 3.
My htc is s-off, root ofcourse, viper rom but I cant get any reception with LTE!
accordint to htc sites, the verison m8 is truely support 1800 mhz,
So how can I get lte on my phone?
And please don't blow my mind with "why did you bought verizon model if you're not using verizon", It doesn't matter now. I've already bought my m8 and it's from verizon, it was cheaper to buy.
Nobody knows?
Europe freinds?
I'm almost in the same boat as you, I'm using Verizon m8, rooted, soff, supercid and then I installed android revolution hd 8.1 international version. I got lte band 4 working ok as well as calls, sms, mms, e.t.c.
Sent from my C811 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've also tried to flash the WWE radio on my verizon m8 but after 1-2 minte the device got reboot again and again, so flashing radio didn't help.
Nobody has a solution? Verizon said the the m8 support 1800 mhz - band 3, so there must be a way to enable it.

Hey,
Just got back from Europe. I wasn't able to get LTE over there, only hsupa/hsdpa. I installed nv rom and was able to change the bands, and got my data working. Now that I'm back in the U.S. (as of 12 horus ago), I'm unable to get service, go figure. I was using the newest verizon radios and they worked fine.

Iv tried nv, it didn't give the option to change for the 1800 band only 1900, or 800. So it didn't work, not that I had much hope.

hi
talked with htc chat today and got this reply:
Well, I just found that's some restriction about Verizon (It seems like), because the Phone is made to work on 1800 Hz. Also I'll recommend to you that contact Verizon Tech Support 866-221-4096 for further information –
im not a verizon cutomer.

I'm also not a customer of them but I've already spoke to them once (with different problem) and they were very nice. I don't have problem to call them (although it will take me some days to set up my google voice account again) but what should i say to them? They will probably sai that they don't know what I'm talking about, or that he verizon m8 is perfect and send down from god and the problem is my carrier
---Edit---
I'm talking with verizon right now, they've transferd me from verizon to htc and than back to verizon, that really don't know what i'm talking about. anyone have any suggestion how to talk with them? they can only blame my carrier
called verizon also

Yes, I've also done that. the phone got no signal and reboot itself after 2 minutes. flashing radios doesn't work with cdma phones. I've also tryed install gpe rom (i fought that maybe the sense 6.0 has problem) also didn't work

Hello. So I purchased the Photon Q and have it activated, yes, all the basics. Anyway, when I flash a cyanogenmod rom, I lose my data. Is this an issue with other photon q users? or just me? Data works perfect under the stock 4.1.2 rom, but not under cm. I'm running TWRP recovery, and yes, I'm rooted.
I assume you're on Sprint? Have you checked the APN list? (Although I didn't need to do anything to get the latest to work with data, it "just worked").
Are you using the latest version of CM as well, the 'jbbl' editions?
On cm data problems always happen. It's not that stable for CDMA users = =

Hm, been solid here. I've tested it in all sorts of conditions too - I was out to sea (but somewhat close to land) and getting a lot of roaming connections... I was even able to squeeze data out of those connections.
LTE works when I'm in cities, although I do get dropped to 3g quite a bit - I'm not sure if that's an issue with Sprint's LTE penetrating buildings or what. But I can't say that having a custom ROM has affected my data negatively - now you are on a m7, which I know those devices have moved between unified and not unified... Our unified devices, at least on my Photon Q's, has been great - no issues that I could attribute directly to software, other than maybe some weak wifi reception (like in airports) which could again be the device itself.

By "unactivate", i mean literally replace it with another phone, then re-activate it. The phone connects on Sprint's towers, however i use Kroger's i-wireless. So reactivation and phone swticthing is fairly easy.
At the moment, i am running cm11 nightly, and it appears to be working alright with data for now.
Okay @arrrghhh, now I am pretty sure you mentioned getting switched to 3g data a lot. I can't change my APN settings, the option is greyed out. How do I switch to 4g?
I'm asking because my area gets 4g when I'm on stock.

Look at your network mode. There's no "LTE", so of course you'll never see 4g as the Q is not capable of WiMax - LTE is the only "4g" network you'd see.

Wait, what? Why are you using ancient builds...
You need to use the jbbl edition. The xt897/c builds are ancient and should not be used - it was when we needed separate builds for CDMA and GSM.
If you're on Sprint, you are correct - there's no GSM. The chip in the phone is only used for international roaming, if you have it enabled.

You're still on CM11? The apns-conf file CM provides should work fine.
You can try a third party app like chomp SMS, but if you're hacking up APN's/apns-conf it's not surprising that you broke MMS.
Anyone with issues getting band 4? At home I always have it but am stuck on band 13. Any suggestions?
The app LTE discovery will let you know what band your on.

Ok. On Verizon's site the added service is HD voice. Maybe you know someone with a phone that will be compatible and pop your sim in to get HD voice added on your account.

The Verizon associate popped it into his own phone and tried it, but the phone probably has to be actually added to the account I'm thinking cuz it didn't work.

Well, once your sim goes into a phone that phone will show up on your account. Then you need to go to my devices and then apps and services and add HD voice. You might need to upgrade your sim too.
I don't mind helping out but I'm trying to find out if anyone has been able to get band 4 on their U11. Each thing I've said you negate it like you know the answer. This thread was specifically made for my question.

Sorry it got off topic. I'll let you know when I can actually use it. Apparently 6P had it so I swapped with my mom's phone and was able to add hd to my line. If it works I'll let you know what band I'm getting.

Well that sucks. That means lower speeds, another crippling of a great phone.
Curious as to where you got the answer and if there is any reasoning behind it.

I bet Verizon says it is because the phone was not certified by them and as such they don't guarantee any features to work and blah blah blah when in reality it is probably their computers automatically unchecking a box on your customer record to guarantee the system will never let your device utilize the features

Come on brother, don't leave us in suspense, where did you get the info.
I've downloaded the LTE Discovery app onto my HTC 10 and I'm trying to use it to see if there is Band 4 around my area, before I try out the U11.

Post #99 in the Verizon thread.. He posted a bunch of info on communications with HTC, Verizon, and AT&T.
Really slow lte on mine too..looks like only band 13
Band 13 only here in Virginia.
Band 13 in Syracuse. Went back to my 10 and getting 4 consistently.
Stuck on band 13 here in Columbia, SC too. Band 4 works fine on my old One M8. HTC support has been extremely unhelpful. They keep pushing me off on Verizon. If this isn't sorted out before my return window is up this thing is going back.
"Thanks for the account verification. The HTC u11 is not capable with LTE Advanced https://t.co/JueO1hTCbK. Since this is a non-Verizon device, we can not guarantee that all features will work when comparing to a Verizon device. ^ZY
In order to use LTE Advanced, the device will need a carrier update. The HTC u11 may not be able to get the update since it is a non-Verizon device. Verizon LTE Advanced-capable devices already have the necessary hardware and software. LTE Advanced uses software to combine two or three channels – a combination of 700 MHz, AWS, and PCS spectrum to provide peak speeds. ^ZY"
Guys this is what i got after talking to VZW CS

I am on Verizon and haven't had any issues in months but I started receiving this error earlier tonight. I can receive a message just fine. I have rebooted twice. Anyone else seeing anything? Stock unrooted with latest OTA. It happens with any SMS app.

We have had a lot of issues on Verizon but have not heard much from enough people, especially from the ones running pure stock. We have been having a lost signal issue where we get a slash through our network bars after a reboot, mostly rooted users after flashing something. I am hoping your issue is just a bad SIM card. But there are known issues with Verizon on this phone, I been waiting for more stock users to report anything. I don't have much advice except I would stay stock if this is the worst of your issues and maybe try getting a new SIM. I had this issue on my HTC 10 and a new SIM fixed it. Good luck buddy.
I registered just so I could say that I too have this same problem. I did the update and now I cant send text messages. I still receive them though.

I've been pure stock since June 9th. Had quite a few little issues to work through to get SMS MMS data and calling to work throughout the first month or so after launch.
May I ask what your Network mode and APN settings are?
Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA Labs
I am stock and have had no issues since that first update that fixed MMS. All settings are default . It worked early yesterday and then just stopped for no reason. This is the first time i have seen any errors, even before when there were issues, there were no errors. My network mode is GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto, APN is vzwinternet with default settings.

Please keep us updated on your experience as we don't have many stock users report here. If any other stock users have had issues or have not had issues we would like to hear from them as well. This Verizon issue has been a mess.

Factory Reset seems to have done the trick. Now to spend the rest of the day setting things back up.
I am all stock as well, and have the unlocked version on Verizon. I have had this phone since it was released with no issues. There was an update install that happened a few days ago and that is when all the problems seem to have happened.
I get that same error screen.

That's good to hear. So how many months have you been using the stock U11 on Verizon without any other issues? This is good info I been wanting to hear about.

And you are only running with LTE band 13. Never any signal issues or slow data speed? And if you don't mind, what area do you live?

Yes only band 13. No issues but sometimes it can get slow in congested areas. I live outside of Charlotte and work in uptown.
Same here. Only LTE band 13 and middle of Nebraska. I have an hr commute to work through rural Nebraska and stay connected to LTE about 85% of the time according to the Open Signal app. The places I loose service is where my old original HTC One would drop down to 1X service. I have 4G LTE in places where my old phone would only have 3G, but the 4G isn't as strong of a signal as the 3G was. There is still enough to make a phone call though.

Thanks a lot guy's, I was having a great experience with only band 13 on stock I had no complaints. But your input kinda confirms what I have suspected, it's probably best to stay on stock with this phone on Verizon. It is very finnicky with Verizon, Verizon does not play nice with unlocked phones outside of their network unless you are Google or Apple with an agreement with Verizon. I had to send mine in for warranty repair, I hope I get it fixed with Verizon signal working.
I'm running pure stock and have had two major issues with this phone on vsw, 1st was about on October 3rd where after losing service in the plant I work in, service never came back unless I put in an att sim card or factory reset the phone. The factory reset worked then but took 2 days to get everything dialed back in.
Now I have this EXACT issue. I can receive sms, I can receive mms, I can send mms, but I cannot send sms.
are there some settings we can change inside the apn to make this work?
This issue again cropped up after losing service inside the plant and when I tried to go outside to get it back, this happens.

So I'm seeing this issue back in January from other users forgive me for wanting a rebooted thread on current software.
I have a KB2007 with a build now that of
11.0.10.10 GLOBAL-EU KB2005BA
Originally purchased from Sprint, after the merger was given T-Mobile SIM cards and if I call tech support route through T-Mobile SIM network is T-Mobile everything's T-Mobile.
Before the conversion didn't have radio issues and I called tech support today they had me pull the Sim rebooted put to sim back in and rebooted again. It seem help ( before I literally had no connection for phone calls without Wi-Fi calling) as now it can at least show 5G connection. However the upload speeds are concerning I think? I live in Kansas City and have amazing signal coverage typically even in a tunnel LOL
People take a look at this and give me your thoughts? I was about to roll it back over to the TMO software earlier, I was that frustrated.
Bootloader unlocked- Magisk w/ minor modules
Thank you for your time in advance

@OP6Tluvvvaa,
First off, I want to thank you for the level of detail in your post. Usually, when I respond to a post, I have to start with numerous questions, just to determine what the actual question is.
I happen to own a KB2007 on T-Mobile and I am VERY happy with it.
My 5G speeds have been excellent. I live in Las Vegas, which is rated like T-Mobile's #2 network site by speed on connection.
One thing I CAN tell you is you should not under any condition be establishing an HSPA+ connection for your mobile network.
Your speed test App, however, shows you have an LTE connection, which seems much more likely in line with the speed you are getting.
Your download speeds are actually not bad, but your upload speeds are anemic.
Where I live (at home), I actually get better upload than downloads speeds on my 5G connections, this is very uncommon, however.
What is your full BASEBAND version under About phone->Status ?
The BASEBAND code largely determines how the 5G connection is established, and the resultant upload/downloads speeds.
In the USA, if you are on T-Mobile's network, you should have
BASEBAND version: MPSS.HI.2.0.c9-00145-SDX55_RMTEFS_PACK-1.367946.14
if you have a european BASEBAND version, this could be causing your problems.
I'll check right now, what blows me away is that I cannot be the only 2007 model that did the conversion, that is experiencing the issue right? You think it would be widespread baseband issues or not connecting to the right ones.. and that debloating aside it would have been massively talked about on XDA?
Yes, you definitely have an older BASEBAND.
The thing is that on the T-Mobile branded OnePlus phones, T-Mobile supplies custom T-Mobile specific BASEBAND code for the build.
That's the main reason I hesitate to install a "GLOBAL" image to my phone.
I figure that T-Mobile is going to supply the fastest, most optimized code for their network.
Let me to a little research on this. I am pretty sure you can install "just" BASEBAND code on your phone if you are rooted.

So that's what I was going to research myself as well I can just flash an image and where it's located, take a look at this the speed test shows LTE when my signal shows 5G

You would be surprised how many people do minimal performance testing on their devices.
I bought a Nord N10 5G about 6 months ago and I found it wasn't actually connecting to 5G AT ALL.
See this post I made:
How 5G Enabled is your Nord N10 5G ?
I have been noting that my Nord N10 5G isn't getting any better of a connection than my old 4G phone, so I set out to see which bands I was connecting on and which were actually enabled on the phone. I have done this in the past on various...
forum.xda-developers.com
Many other owners of this phone confirmed the same thing, so I returned mine to Nord
What else contained in a firmware package? And buy T-Mobile firmware is that what I'm getting rid of when I do a conversion? Is the baseband contained within that
