Hello all,
I know this should be asked in the Development section, but I'm such a noob I can't post there yet lol. I have a quick question for those who flashed the Panama E980H ROM on the AT&T E980. (see this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088)
Well, first of all, I did it. It's the best ROM there is (in terms of fidelity to stock LG software without the carrier crap). Even the boot animation is pure LG.
Everything works perfectly, too. There's just one problem: I guess the E980H for Panama doesn't have LTE connectivity, because there is not an option to set the phone for LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Auto) like on the Telcel or AT&T Rom. Only WCDMA/GSM or GSM [Auto]. So, I did *#*#4636#*#* and set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, and badda bang I'm on T-Mobile's LTE. But that's a pain in the arse because it only lasts until you next start the phone (similar to enabling LTE on a Nexus 4 pre 4.2.2 firmware). And LTE is important to me.
So, my question is this: is there a permanent way to enable LTE on the E980H Panamanian firmware? I'm willing to put up with selecting LTE manually since the ROM is so sweet, but if there is a permanent solution to make that setting stick I would appreciate the insight. :laugh:
Thanks in advance! (If you're thinking of flashing this ROM, do it - totally stock LG, fast, smooth, beautiful. Without all the AT&T or Telcel garbage). As far as I can tell, it most closely resembles the Telcel ROM but, like I said, without all their crap. Stable and smooth. :good:
I am definitely going to flash it. My device (AT&T E980) is on Telcel right now and though the amount of bloatware is much less than AT&T, it's still quite a lot for my taste.
Thanks for providing the information.

Sadly I dont think there is a perminate soluction as they took it out of this rom.
Possible fix... experimentation stage...

Yes, sadly I believe you were right. My solution didn't work after all. I'm not surprised
You know what I tried now? I booted into safe mode, accessed Testing menu > set network type, rebooted, and so far it's sticking.
Let's hope this is the one...
Any ideas you might brainstorm in the meantime I welcome :laugh:
QuickRemote...
Hey, has anyone else noticed that the QuickRemote app on the Panamanian E980H is different from Telcel's E980H and AT&T's E980? Like, I've noticed it lacks support for Insignia/Dynex televisions, which the other ones most certainly had. I don't understand it.
Another minor quirk that matters a great deal to me, since I have a lot of Dynex and Insignia TVs around. Grr...
Could we port the other app? And, what's the differences between them anyway? If someone on AT&T or Telcel's ROM wouldn't mind looking and reporting, I have QuickRemote version 3.2.3 on the Panamanian E980H.
Thanks guys! Strange, strange...
Can someone upload the LGPhone_JB.apk and LGPhone_JB.odex along with LGSystemUI.apk and LGSystemUI.odex, im going to take a look and try something.

Could you explain what maybe we could help? What was you wanting to look at?
I was doing to check the Androidmanifest.xml to see if the option was still in there perhaps, if not i have another thought on the reason why. Also try to see if the option was still there on other stock roms if i use the Panama apks instead. Maybe it's vendor script that removes the LTE option since they don't support it but it should still embedded in the stock firmware.
I wanted to check the apks before installing the Panama rom first, don't have time to backup at moment but will try my luck after getting off my 2nd job if i can stay awake long enough lol.
Way to permanently enable lte!

VERY EXCITED!!!
To permanently enable LTE on the Panamanian ROM, do the following:
With the device on:
1.) Hold down the power key.
2.) Select and HOLD "Power off" until the device prompts you to restart in Safe Mode. Press OK to reboot into Safe Mode.
3.) Device will reboot. Upon startup, do the following:
4.) Go to Phone.
5.) Dial *#*#4636#*#*. Testing menu will open.
6.) Go to Phone information > Preferred network type > "LTE/GSM/WCDMA [Auto]"
7.) Select that one, or whatever you prefer.
8.) Press home key.
9.) Hold down the power key.
10.) Select "Power off." Phone will turn off.
Upon startup, the device will remember that preferred network mode. Mine has - it hasn't fallen off of LTE since. DO NOT reselect a different network type in Testing, or the settings for LTE will not be retained.
11.) Enjoy! Hope this helps. If you gave it a try or it helped you (worked for me! :laugh, please press "Thanks!" I need all the help I can get around here.
Since several of you are on the Panama ROM in this thread... would anyone be so kind as to share the bootanimation.zip?
That did not work for me. What are you calling the "Home Button"? The middle one with the LED? That brings up task manager, nothing else. Thanks.
Hmmmm not sure but when I got my Note i717 and flash a non US Rom and not got the LTE settings I modify the build.prop but right now not remember what I edited.

DOES NOT WORK!. DOES NOT WORK! I think the best solution would be to get the ROM: LG Optimus G PRO (Model: LG E981H). This have this option enabled 4G LTE in the same bands of AT & T, which are: Network: GSM850/900/1800/1900 + WCDMA 850/1900/2100 + LTE (B4, B17)

Very strange. Please follow the guide perfectly. Also realize that it wormed perfectly for me. And BTW I do not have AT&T.
Sometimes, my network indicator says "3G" when its really on "4G" (LTE) or "H+". Not sure why this is. Do not trust the indicator; always go to the Settings menu where it says "Network type: LTE" to see that it is connected. Third party apps like Ookla sometimes invalidate the icon and show you have LTE too.

It worked, and continues to work for me, to this day. Also, does the Argentina ROM have branding? Like a carrier logo on startup or a bunch of their bloatware?
First of all, thanks for the info about *#*#4636#*#* This made me flashing the PANAMA stock rom on my AT&T E980 very worthwhile.
As for the LTE tweak, I went in using the dial code for testing and tried a few things out. First I selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE (Auto), but it resets to GSM (Auto) upon restarting the phone. So I tried the method going Safe Mode and all, and still the same result. But then I tried LTE/WCDMA only, and it sticks!!! I didn't have to go to Safe Mode, and it doesn't revert back to anything when I restart.
BTW, I have a non rooted stock Panama rom. I'm very happy now.
langs
The panama E980 version still has 6 languages in it like the AT&T version has?

Sorry, I don't. I used hyelton's or the Stock page by minnaing in LGOG > Android Development links to find one. Can't seem to find it anymore. No issues here on Panamian ROM. All OK. Even unrooted!
Good luck.

Hello everyone,
I didn't see a thread for this and I am just sick and tiered of not being able to post in dev threads, I figured I would attempt to make something useful for newer users of using AOSP ROMs.
I noticed that when using AOSP ROMs, the 5GHz band won't work, I can see the network but can not connect to it, and in some ROMs I can get it to take the Key but then says something like disabled and still doesn't work. Crazy thing is this is something that is not unique to this Device (the i317), I had a i777 (Galaxy S2) before that and it did the same exact thing. What is even more crazy is the fix is exactly the same for both phones.
While making this post I am going through a wip and re-install of my ROM (PAC-Man in this case, but does it with all other AOSP ROMS)
Some information befor I start, 5GHz is important to me as I use it at home, the 2.4GHz range in my area is quite crowded and I am the only 5GHz network in the area so it works better for me.
Anyways here we go;
Step 1, Install your ROM like normal, once you're signed in to your Google Account download Root Explorer (or something of equivalence) Once that is done proceed to step 2.
(NOTE: If you already have your ROM installed you can skip Step 1)
Step 2, In Root Explorer go to System --> etc --> wifi, once here you're going to see various files. Were looking for "nvram_net.txt" and "nvram_net.txt-murata".
These are the two files were going to modify.
Step 3, Hold your finger on "nvram_net.txt" until the popup window for Options comes up, hit Open With and then select Text Editor. From here you're going to look for a line of code thats "ccode=GB" this is needing to be changed to "ccode=US". Once that has been changed then hit the back button and hit Yes on the save box. This will automatically make a backup of the original file.
Step 4, Were going to do the same thing to the "nvram_net.txt_murata" so open it with the Text Editor and look for the same line of code "ccode=GB" and change it to "ccode=US", save the file.
Step 5, Reboot your phone and once back up go into settings and you are now able to use your 5GHz network.
I hope this helps someone and I hope that one day we won't have to keep changing these settings to get 5GHz working on AOSP ROMs, have fun Everyone!!!!
PS. If you all want screenshots I can do them but bare in mind I would have to wipe my phone again and take them during the process. The instructions should be clear and easy to follow without them.
Excellent....
Many thanks....this will help several people out I'm sure.
Thank you...g

Thank You!!
I need to add something to it, if you ever update your ROM you need to do it again just start from step two.
Thanks for the post. I'm sure those who need 5ghz support appriciate it.
I just saw this post and checked. The latest CM10.1 for today (20130701 build) has the correct US settings. Not sure about other AOSP. However you should mention it to the devs of each one you find it in so they can fix it.
Holy ****balls. I just have to say that.
I'm using Galaxy S3 i9300, been running Slimbean 4.2.2 build 8 flawlessly when I came across that situation where I can't connect to 5G wifi. since then I tried searching for a fix but failed. So i opted to cm13, with utter disappointment with its lag and bugs. And still, hoping for a miracle, i flashed my old recovery back, trying to give it one more chance. Lo and behold, you've given me the fix that I've been searching for all these while. But instead of just that two files, I've changed all nvram_net files ccode with US instead GB. Reboot. And now I'm replying this on my workplace 5ghz wifi. Thanks dude. Very much thanks.

[ROM][4.4.2][LG G3 Port][6-29-2014]2FacedRom 1.6/1.7.1x Stock, Debloated, US GSM Unlocked
Please read everything before downloading and blindly installing!
Firstly, this ROM does install properly, it does boot, if you brick your phone while running this ROM chances are it was something YOU did and not the ROM, do not blame me. Secondly, I will keep this as up to date and fix things or add things as often as I can there is a Requested Features tab at the top and if you want something you need to say it there. There is also a Report Bugs tab at the top, same applies. I am the only person maintaining this project right now and I cannot read every post in this thread but I will do my best to stay on top of everything.
The rom is a port from the UK LG G3 but options for GSM or CDMA capabilities are select-able in Aroma. NFC does not work currently and may not work until the LS990 is released and dumped.
The CDMA configurations is still buggy and I am working on fixing it, update 1.7 will see a lot of fixes to the CDMA configuration. The phone app crashes when trying to call out but the phone can receive calls when CDMA is selected on install. Thats the biggest problem I've found so far.
v1.6
Changlog in 3rd post
Moderator Edit: Link Removed
MD5: 8920b27fd59e08bae905d27266605d79
Working:
Pretty much everything except what is listed below
Not Working:
NFC (Both CDMA and GSM)
Calling Out (CDMA Only)
Settings FC on some menus (CDMA Only)
1.7.1 Experimental!
CDMA ONLY
For SMS/MMS use Hangouts!
Data does work but you cannot Enable/Disable it in settings or change network settings.
The phone will show "Roaming" but it won't actually be roaming.
Since this is experimental and for CDMA ONLY, only install with a clean flash.
Do not install if you are on a GSM network, for GSM stay with 1.6
To Install if coming from other ROM or 2Faced 1.0
1. Must be coming from ZVC Rom
2. Reboot to Recovery and Perform full backup
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache
4. Install Rom
5. Customize in Aroma
6. Reboot and Enjoy!
7. PLEASE allow rom to settle for 10-15 minutes then restart before doing anything.
To Install if coming from 1.5x(Dirty Flash is possible):
Make a backup
Install using custom recovery
Select which apps you may want removed in Aroma
Select CDMA or GSM configuration
Rom will format the System partition and install updated version but you will not lose any account data or apps you have installed
IORoot can be found here Here
AutoRec can be found here Here

Hi
Does it work with RUIMs ? Can you please test with any CDMA provider like Reliance , TATA , BSNL or MTS . I am interested in RUIM functionality in SIM slot and not interested in NV mode .
I need quick memo... It's not working... Any solution?

I don't have any way of testing with any of those providers but I am working on getting it to work with US CDMA Carriers, I'll do some research into your question and see if it can be put into the ROM. So far I havn't seen much outside of device limitation that cannot be achieved with Android and Custom Roms

I will most likely include a "fatter/bloated" version in my update, I do miss having Quick Memo as well as a few other niceties from a completely stock ROM. But as for now I haven't seen any flashable zip or .apk file to install for individual LG Apps. Depending on work over the next few days I should have an updated version with all of the stock LG Apps. I'm looking into using Aroma and allowing users to pick what they want on install.

Removable user identity module/subscriber identy module. Basically a new method to allow a CDMA (code division multiple access) phone use a gsm network. Our phone service is still CDMA, but 4g-lte is a GSM (global system for mobile) style network. So this format combines the two.

The RUIM card was designed to replicate many of the advantages of the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card on the GSM network. Phones on the CDMA network that do not use RUIM cards store all of the user's information in the phone itself; if the user wants to change phones, he or she has to go to the cell phone service provider, who will transfer the information to the new handset. GSM network phones use SIM cards, which store all of the user's information, so activating a new phone is often as simple as moving the card from one handset to another.
CDMA phones that use RUIM cards share this ability to swap information between phones. The card is the same size and shape as a regular SIM card, and typically includes a version of the SIM software, which means that it can be used in GSM phones. As with switching cards between CDMA phones, however, the GSM handset must be unlocked for a RUIM card to work with it. An RUIM card in a GSM phone might not work in all locations, because different regions use different cell phone frequencies.

From what I've read, it really sounds like if you have a ROM which allows both CDMA and GSM communications you're really limited on the frequencies that the phone can use, the LG G2 uses these GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 2100* LTE CAT 3, HSPA+ 21 Mbps* EDGE, GPRS Class 10, UMTS, HSPA+, WCDMA, LTE Bands 25/26/41*. All listed frequency support is network/carrier specific. Roaming capability and network frequency support may not be available. If the carrier you wish to use the device with supports any of these then it should work to some extent, at least that's how it appears to me.

I have Sprint LS980 only . On ZV7 and ZV8 both RUIM/GSM SIM card work once you change the NV only mode in device . I asked as this functionality was disabled by Sprint in ZVC . The device already has the capability and I dont want to lose it by upgrading to Kitkat . The frequencies in GSM might not work in US in HSPA+ but works fine in other countries which have the Sprint LS980 frequencies for HSPA+ and LTE .
So when the user had commented that he had used it in GSM in India , thats why i requested him to put any RUIM and confirm whether RUIM functionality is disabled or not .

This is not a Sprint based ROM, it is T-Mobile GSM based, which is why it allows for GSM carriers to communicate with the device and it not be locked to Sprint CDMA.

White lines through screen.
After the phone goes to sleep and is woken up I get white and black lines through the screen. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off then restart the phone. But it seems to do it every time. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Yes, that means you need the modified kernel for your device. Most likely your device has the JDI panel and the kernel is built for the LGD panel.
Have you checked out this nifty tool which should patch your kernel and fix the white lines issue?

Shortly after posting I can across the jdi kernel and flashed it and all is working now. Thank you very much for the response and help.
I flashed the ROM but it won't boot ahead of LG Logo.
Seems it was a bad flash or bad download...
But, now I can't:
1. Flash TOT file of LS980 as it says incorrect model no
2. Can't boot to recovery thru key combinations.. Its really hit n miss n last time i could boot into recovery thru this combination on some other device was after 10-15 tries.
I can keep trying to boot to recovery n then restore my backup..
Before that, any other solution?
Edit... Was able to boot to recovery n then restore my ZVA backup..
What I actually did was, Flashed the rom on ZVA + flashed ZVC modem.
Was this the reason of not booting the rom? if so, do i need to be on ZVC only ??? No other way to go from ZV7/8/A?

yes it needs the ZVC Modem/Radio, there is a DLL file that will allow Flash Tools to ignore SW Version and flash it to an LG default. You can then reboot into download and flash anything else with the regular Sprint DLL if you ever get stuck again. I've used it many times, here it is.

Got it.. I am already downloading ZVC tot...
But, out of curiosity, I did flash ZVC radio along with your rom, still why didn't it allow?
Thanks for the DLL thing...
Hi guys,
I'm looking for solution or clear answer.
Do you know any custom ROM with access to Service Menu (same or similar as on stock ROM)?
I need option to force specific LTE Band, and 3G bands as well. In stock ROM it works realy fine and I can check many things about connection to network.
ARFCN, bandwidth, LAC/TAC, CI, PSC/PCI, neighbours etc.
Any hint which parts of system has influence on service menu ? Firmware, kernel, some APKs ?
I just tried RR-5.8.2 (Nougat 7.1.1 based on LineageOS ) it works realy fast but without this option I must revert back (flash) to stock ROM.
I made few hours reaserch on google and XDA but nothing specific about that.
Custom ROMs don't have the framework needed to have the hidden menu. Plus, it's CUSTOM, so there is no way in hell you can get anything "official" on it. Oh, and plus the fact that the service menu is not just an APK, but it integrates way more than you could even think with the OS, it's "made to size" so to say.

You can use stock based custom ROMs like Fulmix.
Anyways I'm almost certain AOSP had a hidden menu on itself for forcing LTE band and similar controls, try looking for it and see if it has the settings you need.

Thanks for information, yes Fulmics has access to service menu - works fine.
But it is visible slower than new roms 7.1.1 based on lineage and now I can't install ASOP based on Nougat. I tried few times but no success.

Yes stock based ROMs are slower than AOSP ones. Why aren't you able to install Lineage or similar now, you should be able to without problems?
Also there is plenty of hidden service menus in AOSP as well - one of them is *#*#4636#*#* among others.

Three ROMs based on LineageOS works realy fast but as I wrote above it hasn't Service Menu ! Because of that I ask which part of system is responsible for Service Menu. As I understand it is dependent of framework from phone manufacturer, and integration this function between parts of phone system (ROM, modem firmware, kernel, etc.).
Hidden menu isn't interesting at all. I need RF functionalities available only in service menu (*#546368#*855#).
(sorry for my bad english - I'm not native speaker)

There are a lot of RF frequencies in the hidden menu. Have you tried it? What exactly do you need?

In most ROM code 4636 shows information about Phone. I need selection of specific band on 4g / 3g, rat selection. And technical info about connection to bts / nodeB. I wrote it in my first post.

You can select a specific band from the phone information tab and the hidden menu I told you. If you need other options I'm pretty sure there is another menu for that.
If there are connection options AOSP should have them somewhere, as they are necessary for the phone to operate.
I have an N910V and my carrier is not Verizon. The sim is rejected. It seems I am unable to create a custom APN entry.
Currently rooted with Android 5.1.1, unlocked padlock at startup. Baseband N910VVRU2BOF1. TWRP installed. Have been able to wipe system/data/cache partitions and restore from backup successfully.
Has anyone managed to change the running software to the international version, N910F successfully ? I have not done this before.

lol the note 4 is not sim locked I'm using cricket wireless on my vzw varient. you just have to manually enter your service providers apn info....side note also true for note 3 (smn 900v) as far as international roms go ....I have had 0 luck since the upgrade to marshmallow. on lollipop all I used were international roms. I'm pretty sure the boot image patch needed for hsbadr roms killed it for me. his rom has 0 bloat anyway .

OK this should apply to marshmallow definetly nougat. in settings go to more (at top 3rd option) cellular networks cellular operators. look in upper right corner for 3dot menu it has add apn manually. Google apngeisha find your carrier and then just fill in the appropriate info. if you are unrooted you will get an error message stating its not a Verizon sim but it won't affect functionality

wow that is an old firmware bro ...jeez that phone must have sat for a while b4 it found its new home. fyi u can borrow a friends sim to upgrade to marshmallow (I did) just enter apn info and get her done. ****if you are not the person who rooted it you will want to become familiar with the process its challenging the first run through the phone can crash midway in I personally refer to the simplified guide to unlock by Dr.cool on xda. the files in his post you might want to replace with newer but the man knew how to break this process down. best of luck man.

I am somewhat familiar with rooting it..
What i don't seem to understand is how to move the phones software from N910V ROM to a N910F ROM - a few people have said on this site that this is possible, but I haven't found out how they did this. If this is possible, what needs to be changed and in what order.

So the ROM doesn't change, but you run a patch against the current software ? Where is the patch run from, TWRP ?

best pet is its universal for all 910f/g roms on lollipop. not gonna lie I do miss the options. I mean the system as a whole works better now but you used to have like 30 different roms to experiment with (I reccomend simplrom with either simpl or emotion kernel .....I've never scene anywhere near that mny governors or modules in a kernel before. that being said I'm sure less than half could really improve android but like I said having so many choices is truly something else. why I put this phone only a step or two behind the note 3 which litteraly HD more development than 5 years worth of nexus's . this is s close as I've seen since.

Current flashing to 'N910VVRU2CPF3_N910VVZW2CPF3_N910VVRU2CPF3_HOME.tar.md5' (6.0.1 stock i think) - will the data fix still be applicable ?
And how is the data fix applied - TWRP 'install' ?
I was trying to flash official zip from lolinet. I got a moto g fast carrier locked from boost mobile, bootloader unlocked tho. To see if I can remove the software variant "boost". Obviously to use it with my current carrier Metro. But I accidentally....(yeah right)! LOL. I ended up flashing in a blink the zip file
RAV_RETAIL_11_RPJ31.Q4U-47-35. and now, I got my self a moto g8 with android 11. Let me tell you. ITS AMAZING....some screenshots...
Got a link to where to download this firmware? The latest RetUS firmware on lolinet is still Android 10.
Does Android 11 on G Fast support WiFi calling?
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/rav/official/RETAIL/RAV_RETAIL_11_RPJ31.Q4U-47-35_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
That's the link from lolinet.
I have been exploring the device. (Hidden menu/settings, secrets codes) and I do see wifi calling native. But when I start the "action" it just opens up an empty white screen from settings that sais wifi calling preferences...
But no option to select....at all.
maybe cause my carrier doesn't support this mode?

I was too lazy to change my phone to RETAIL channel. Looks like Android 11 has now come to RETUS channel.
The firmware now includes a super.img_sparsechunk.15 file. I cut and pasted stock firmware flash instructions and failed to notice that it didn't flash this file and my phone boot looped. I redid the flash with all 15 sparsechunk files and now my phone works on Android 11!
I haven't made any calls yet. Call quality has been absolutely abysmal with Boost thus far, presumably due to lack of WiFi calling.

Yes I have a moto g facking boost mobile. There is no way of sim unlock this thing. Only sprint can do it. I'm on the latest ResurrectionRemixOS. And is, thus, trust me on this, the only ROM that fits my needs. I can do all and stil boot it up. No issues.
I'm on the latest TWRP recovery. Like flashed on memory....
Oh yeah and im under T-Mobile APN downloads are 50mb+ EVERYWHERE.
