[Q] 4G/LTE band missing - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I was experimenting my M8 with T-Mobile sim card. I flashed 5.0.1 GPE ROM and everything worked fine. I also changed its CID to T-MOB010 and flashed ViperOneM8 3.2.1. It worked fine as well. But after I reverted everything back (by loading 3.28.605.4 0P6BIMG and firmware, and restoring a TWRP backup), I discovered I can no longer get 4G/LTE signal. I can only get 3G. I tried flashing to RUU M8_VZW 4.4.3 (firmware &0P6BIMG). But it doesn't help. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* but didn't see any option/menu. When I use 4G Switcher app to select band, 1900MHz band isn't available. The network type is set to "CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto". I am using CleanROM 3.0. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Try a factory reset using stock recovery. Not twrp or any custom recovery. Has to be stock recovery.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I understand completely where you are coming from. I flashed the same rom and my phone stop connecting to LTE when in global mode. I have flashed the 4.4.2, 4.4.3, and 4.4.4 RUU and went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset and it still does not work.
Right now I am running cleanrom 3.0 also. The only time I can get LTE is when I go into settings and switch it to LTE only.
The only thing I think it can be is when I do the factory reset on the RUU, the says restoring Verizon NV flash rather than formatting it. I want to try and flash a T-MOBILE RUU to see if it will format it and clear it out then switch back to Verizon but I don't know if that will brick my phone. If I can't find a way to wipe the NV the only thing else to do is run the phone over with my car a couple times then claim warranty.
Not trying to knock digital high's rom because he and several others put a lot of work into the stock 5.0 rom and I really appreciate the effort, but I wish I didn't flash it because I think there is an underlying issue with the rom that is affecting a small portion of our phones. And it is so small that there is no support to fix it. I have scoured the forum to find a fix and nothing has worked so far. But these are the problems we accept when we hack our phones and flash non factory software.
I hope you find a fix and if you do please let me know. Good luck.

Factory reset using stock recovery does the trick. 4G/LTE is back. Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Much appreciate it.

I'm having the LTE issue as well. I'm currently running DigtalHigh's GPE 12/18 release with the updated firmware. LTE works on first boot until I connect to my Wi-Fi network, after that I never see LTE again. I tried everything, and I mean everything. I tried the RUU back to 4.4.4 and doing a factory reset from that... I get the same result, LTE on 1st boot until the WiFi connects and then it's gone for good again until the next complete reset.
The most recent thing I tried was replacing the SIM card (while on the GPE rom)... this worked flawlessly. I had LTE again for a few days... until I made a phone call from my car using Bluetooth, at which point the phone geeked out, switching from speaker to line-out to bluetooth audio and eventually dropping my call (not sure if that is somehow related to the LTE issue), but now I'm back to no LTE again.
But I get full bars of 3G, so I've got that going for me... which is nice.

Is it possible for you to put in a new SIM while on another Rom like clean rom to see if LTE will stay?

DH GPE with custom firmware has hooped the VZW LTE radio settings, it has overwritten them...no amount of custom rom re-installations will fix this.
As stated above, the easiest way to fix this is to simply flash a stock Verizon RUU, and THEN do a factory reset from the stock recovery. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ent/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-4-s-off-onlynewest-t2914914 with the SD card method and it worked fine.
After you do the stock factory reset you can then install DH GPE again, without using custom firmware.

I put 0P6BIMG.zip in ext SD card and booted from HBOOT.

My LTE just automagically kicked back on after I reset it three weeks. Glad it doesn't have to meet the tire of my car. I pray it stays on

I posed this question on another thread, but I'm trying to understand what you mean when you say "stock recovery". I know what it is, but what I don't know is what stock are you referring to; do I have to downgrade to 4.4.4 or when you mean stock it doesn't matter if it's Lollipop 5.0.1.? Thank you sir!

Boy this horse is getting beat to death. Go to Dottat's RUU posts where he explains it all. I used the 5.0.1 S-Off one. Once it's installed, boot, and then reboot to it's stock/factory recovery and do a factory reset. That will fix your 4G/LTE problem. Then you get root back and flash a "custom" recovery like TWRP. I followed the Sunshine instructions. If you don't want/need root or TWRP skip it and you'll have an S-off stock not rooted phone.

It's been a few years since I wore my horse, the HD2 to death and I didn't stumble on to the cure until the wee hours this morning. It eventually comes back and like the wife hitting your head with the iron skillet...ding, ding, ding....external micros SD card and RUU; I remember how to do that. I'm S-Off, this will work. What I didn't know is what is "stock"; factory state you walked out the store with or matching the ROM to the firmware and if I'm going to downgrade to reset the NV configuration, what all that entails. It's the jargon, I need to learn and that takes time. I sincerely appreciate what the OPs do and where they direct me to; thanks!

Answered this once already in the last 24 hours and this will be the last time.
Stock recovery is the matching HTC provided recovery img that is from the matching firmware version you are currently on. If you are on 1.X firmware it's best to find stock recovery from the 1.X ruu or firmware zip file.
Stock recovery is only provided by HTC.
Why is this so dang difficult to understand folks and why does the question need to be repeatedly posed?

Point is the information is already out there. Nothing misleading about it.
There are some basic premises that better be understood first lest he avoid failure by leaving that boot loader locked and s on.

Because, those of us doing the asking while we truly and sincerely appreciate the work all of you do, and believe me "I" do, some of you, not all of you completely fail at the teaching aspect of the knowledge you possess. That said, thank you very much; it worked. I can't tell you whether it was the factory reset or performing the edit inside ##778; the moment I put the wife's Straight Talk (Verizon) SIM card in; 4G LTE returned. I did not have access to the dial code until now. Again, thank you!

Dadgumit people! Read!!!
Try flashing the 10/17 build or invisiblek's or aeroevan's latest... Then go to settings > mobile > CDMA subscription and change it to ruim/sim and toggle airplane mode.
If that doesn't work, there's plenty of people here who would be glad to teach you how to Odin. OR just read one of the 7 other threads like this one and you'll find the Odin instructions.

Ajrty,
I am in the same boat as the above people.
I flashed back to stock rooted ICS (root66) backup that I have via TWRP. Z NOT via Odin.
Once I was on ICS I did the 2767.. trick and it rebooted my phone, I then flashed back to Clean ROM and still have the issues..
Do I need to UN root and lock via Odin and then try this thing?
What the heck is going on here!

You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

What exactly are we supposed to read. Clearly all these guys know how to odin. Your instructions while potentially helpful aren't on the op for the cm 10.1 rom so what have we failed to read? The 13 million other posts?
The issue is the 10.1 build being hugely flawed with no warning and how to remedy it. It happened to every other guy posting on this thread. Clearly it's not an isolated incident. So thank you for your suggestion and calm down a smidge please.

I had the same issue with 10.1
I used how to for soft brick to get back to stock, then used how to repair iemi/roaming issue
Follow thoes 2 guides and youll be good, it worked for me
Just make sure that you unlock your bootloader again and reflash cwm from rom manager
Also be prepared to reflash the cm10 nighty from get.cm (make sure it is 10 not 10.1) because verison will push a software update without even going into setting/about phone/software update
Last of all you will need to update your baseband/modem

I flashed CM10.1, first time losing my data.. got it back by ODIN to stock, then typing his magic code in above.
Love you
I found a quick fix
Ok here is how to fix it I just sorta stumbled upon this.. Re flash cm10.1 when it is first activating either pull your sim or go into airplane mode by pulling down with two fingers from the top and accesing quick settings. then finish the setup over wifi- turn the phone off pop your sim out and put it back in and reboot. now when you take off airplane mode it should be fixed but it wont activate so just use Odin and re-flash root66

I heard the airplane fix is in the CM thread where it belongs. It is not a Q&A thread if it is a known issue with a particular rom. It belongs in that rom thread.

i had the same problem, flash back to the stock rom and dial *2767*3855# it will re-provision your phone and you wont be roaming any longer
How to Fix maybe
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated.

This worked for me and i was in the same situation as you
Please help me!!!!!!
I have the same issue with the roaming and am not able to make calls, txt, or data. I have dont all of these steps. Back to stock and put the magic number in an still the same. Thank you in advance

[Q] [Help] Skyrocket go down!

hi everyone. I need some help here with my At&t Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I had my phone unlocked and work on T-mobile GSM fine but I only got EDGE for data. I then flash it with with a T-mobile radio according to the instruction here at XDA forrum to try to get 3G/4G. after flashing the radio the baseband in the phone showed "unknown" and I lost both GSM and EDGE. the phone even didn't recognize my SIM card,I don't know If I did something wrong.
Here How I did
1. I flash CWM 5.8.x
2 I update to CWM 14.x.x touch version
3. Root the phone with SuperSU busy box
4. Flashing tmo_SGH-T989_VK1.zip radio
5. No signal.
It seem to be the radio I tried to flash didn't go in correctly. BTW I still keep the stock ROM form At&T (ICS 4.0.4)
Any one have experienced the same problem like me ?
Thank you very much for helping me out.
Just so I'm clear, you flashed a T-Mobile Only Radio on an A T&T Sim card? Check your APN too.

thank you for you suggestion.
I finally understand the problem the phone simply doesn't accept the radio. I flashed the new radio and turn out the original radio was removed and new one didn't go in. when i flashed a full stock ROM the original radio came back. may be the ROM and radio have to be compiled together.

Uh no you have to flash the modem before the ROM to get a good flash from what I've seen. Also I think almost every radio exempting maybe gingerbread radios as I haven't tested them should work on every ROM exempting maybe tw based.

Fixed that for you. You forgot to mention that you have to hold your breath while you wipe dalvik 3 times, cache 6 times, factory reset 2 times, perform a backup and then flash a kernel from a different device.

What I just did (and keep in mind I have no idea if it will be of any help to you) is I reverted my recovery to the stock image, and forced a hard factory reset. Originally I was having issues with data connectivity and speeds, and so far (after doing all the above) it seems to have worked. My last resort, assuming the above was unsuccessful, was to go to a local Verizon Retailer and buy a new SIM (though I have two on hand at the moment, so that would be a last last LAST resort).
Alternatively, what ROM are you currently on? I know that when I flashed a GPE ROM and began fiddling with the phone's network settings, I lost all data connectivity. Perhaps try what @spy4ka suggested in a thread I opened a while back?
spy4ka said:
As I understand, you have the Google edition. I had the same problem. It is an easy fix:
1 go to phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#*
2 click on phone information
3 under preferred network type select LTE/GSM/CDMA auto
4 wait for signal bars to show up and you're done.
Hope it helped.

Finally, you could attempt to restore from someone else's Nandroid/backup, if all the above fails. Here is a thread with links to a Nandroid created by @krazie1, though you will have to ask his permission to gain access to them.

Hey, I could help you. There are 2 main reasons you don't get data: 1 it is a software problem( which is fixable) and 2 it is a hardware problem( which is not).
First you would change these in your phone: ROM, kernel and modem( I don't think they do modems now ). We will focus on ROM and kernels.
The very first thing that you should do in backup your data. Trust me it will help a lot ( I have some really nasty stories about how I flashed the wrong thing and I soft bricked my phone).
Next you should install a stock ROM. ACR is good and lightweight ( plus it flashes a kernel for you, so yay). You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716597
Now flash this thing.
If you still are not getting your data try flashing the stock kernel. You could find to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712793
If none of these work, you have a hardware problem and return it.
Hope it helps.

I would first follow @spy4ka's recommendations, especially flashing the stock Sense 6 ROM's kernel. If that still doesn't help, I actually would suggest getting a new SIM card instead of a full factory reset... for now. Since you have access to 3G data, you have at least solved part of your data connection problem, and to me seems like it may just now be a faulty SIM (such as failing to activate/is now a complete dud). After all that, if you still have issues with data, I can coach you through reverting your recovery back to the stock image and performing a factory reset (you will lose all data on your internal memory, along with root, which is why this shouldn't be done unless all the above fails). If that still doesn't work, then your final option would be as @spy4ka suggested, returning you current device and getting a replacement. If you are still within Verizon's 14 day trial period, then this will be a free replacement. Otherwise, it will have to be through your phone's insurance, and will likely cost $99.

Oh my god Thank you guys so much the rom diudnt do anything it wa the kernel it worked thank you so much you guys are the best.

Verizon M8 3G only FIX

There are very few posts found on any site about this issue so I wanted to post a success.
Symptom: M8 that either from a ROM install or OTA is 'stuck' on 3G. This persists across radio revisions and OS.
In my case, I had a M8 with S-off arrive from Swappa but it was 3g only on 4.4.4 so I took the OTA... No change. Following, I tried 3 different SIM and opened a support case with Verizon. As with the other 2 cases I found reference to in a search, the determination was a fault with the phone and it would be factory replaced under warranty. BUT this phone is S-OFF!... so I kept digging. After trying various RUU from 4.4.3, 4.4.4. and 5.01 NONE of them worked, still trapped in 3G land even with factory reset wiped cache and clean install of 4.4.4 with the Verizon OTA update to 5.01 full path.
Solution: Roll farther back! I found a very early RUU from 4.4.2 and flashed the baseband. Immediately 4g worked. Rolling forward, every firmware version I flashed after (any baseband) also worked. SO if you have a M8 that does only 3G just roll all the way back to release baseband and then back forward to 5.01.. should fix! Verizon also indicated they know of this phone sometimes not 'taking' a SIM so try a 2nd one too.
Regards and good luck,

Thanks for this share. I am having an issue that may or may not be related. I have a feeling that my sim card reader is broken but my phone was actually having a similar symptoms before its radio stopped working altogether. I came back from international roaming today (and a non vzw sim) and when I arrived stateside, my phone would only pick up CDMA evdo 3g. After much fiddling in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, I did not have any luck. Then all of the sudden my phone read "no service" and wouldn't even connect to vzw at all. I tried a new sim from a vzw store, no dice. My plan was to ruu tomorrow as a last resort. I am s-off. Would you mind sharing the 4.2.2 ruu link? I'd like to try.

The s-on ruu will not wipe. They will not affect s status or unlock status. Flash ruu. Flash twrp. Flash supersu. Ten mins or less.

Yes that could be a problem. If you were on a sense rom it would not be. Because it does not wipe. Those ruu are unique in that they don't. The s-off ones and every other carriers ruu do wipe.

Im going to attempt to reflash the latest verizon radios in Hboot and see if it clears the whatever band settings i changed that killed my radio? Perhaps this is the same as what a full RUU would be but radio only.
Edit: that didnt work. Still "no service"

So while that did reset my radio. My SIM card reader is also broken. My LTE comes in and out. Its my fault.
I have been sent a warranty replacement from VZW but its running the 5.0.1 firmware. I have come to learn that there is no way to RUU downgrade to a 4.4.4 firmware so I can run sunshine to S-Off.
Does this mean I am SOL installing TWRP and roms since im stuck S-ON? ive actually never been S-On on an HTC device before.

You can use a Java Card to S-OFF your M8 - check out the Verizon M9 Java Card thread.
(@dottat has one, he is my recommendation - but all are very trustworthy and if someone is closer it may be easier on you to go with them)
Been having this issue myself. Tried RUU, flashing all radios from 4.4.2 on up, factory reset, etc. I'm only getting 3G-- not LTE whatsoever. Any ideas?
Edit: Got a new SIM-- no cigar. Unless there are some network settings that I don't know about, the 4G antenna might just be broken or something

I meant that I can keep my current M8 (still S-OFF) and have working LTE, instead of having to swap it with the new M8 that Verizon is sending to me (which I can now return).

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again!
No dice. On any of these fixes. I've gone through all the RUUs that dottat has posted, full back to stock (with root /s-off). I'm at a complete loss. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try and get this fixed?
After I flashed on of the RUUs I have 4G for about 10 mins, then it bumps back down to 3G. I've checked this in three different cities (Home, Work, Friends) so its not the network in my area. I was thinking of stopping at Verizon, maybe get a new SIM, but I'm not sure if that would work.

HTC - No signal... Ever

Hi,
I can't seem to get any signal, can't call text or use data on my HTC desire 620. But it is finding the networks as when I search to select networks it can find O2 (I'm on giffgaff. And it claims to have registered on network. I've refreshed back to stock,but I don't know where to go from here.
Do I need to reflash the radio.img? If so how would I go about doing that? I've searched allover but can't find the file online.
Thanks

The easiest way to fix your issue is to factory reset it, if that doesn't work, then restore your phone entirely using the stock files, IF that isn't something you want to do then yes, flash the radio and flash the modem as well. It can't hurt.
In most cases just start back at square 1; going entirely back to stock. In so many cases that will fix your issue the fastest.

Thanks for the reply,
I've flashed the stock rom already, but that didn't seem to fix it.
But I read somewhere that flashing a stock rom doesn't actually flash the radio or modem, just the system, boot and recovery.
In which case do you know where I could find a download for the modern and radio?
Thanks
Jessooca said:
Well if you want to be certain you have your phone entirely back to stock...
Factory reset the phone.
Power it off, and reflash the stock files
Flash the modem and radio
Once it powers back up factory reset it again
Let me know what happens after that, I'll look into your particular HTC so I can help you fully this evening, Get back to me after you've done the above again, even if you've already done it already.

I've flashed and reset everything except the modem and radio, as I'm still searching for the files. Is there anyone with this device who could upload their's. It is the HTC desire 620, unlocked from H3G (Three).

Have you flashed all of the latest updates for your phone? I ask because if you've updated and you're using a previous version to try to fix your phone, that will not work.
