I decided to give Kit Kat another try a few days ago, but since then I have not been able to connect to LTE.
Prior to flashing I was running CM10.2 and my LTE was working fine. I initially lost LTE when I flashed PACMAN. I have also tried AOSB/ProBAM and Beanstalk. None of the Kit Kat roms gave me LTE so I gave up and restored CM10.2, but afterward I was still not getting any LTE connection.
I tried flashing the MD4 modem, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I've also heard that going back to stock could help, but I'd rather not have Knox if I don't have to use it. Which stock ROM here on XDA would be the best (Not planning on using the ROM. I just want LTE and then will flash back to Kit Kat)? Would a different modem fix my LTE issues? Is MK3 better than MD4, or are there any newer modems I should try?
Thanks for the help!

Any of the ROMS that have [TW] in the title should work. Full Knox only comes with flashing a tar file in ODIN, because your flashing every partition of the phone. Modified stock ROM zips do not have knox, unless otherwise noted. Make sure to do a prl and profile update when you flash to stock.

Flashed Wicked Sensations last night with the MK3 modem and I seemed to be getting LTE as soon as that booted. Updated my PRL and Profile, and then wiped. Installed AOSB again, and I seemed to be getting LTE until I rebooted. After the first reboot I seem to be stuck in 3G again.
Im currently running AOSB on 2 devices. When I first flashed them, I had the same issue until I rebooted the phone. After that I never had this issue again.

I think that's the opposite of what happened to me. My status bar said I had LTE when I first booted AOSB (this was after flashing/wiping TW). After the first reboot it connected to 3G and I haven't seen the LTE signal since.
I have updated the APNs, but I was using the same APNs for a while and had LTE on CM10.2 with them.

This is something wierd with Kitkat. I do not believe a fix has been found just yet. but if you dial *#*#info#*#* on most phones you can get into the phone systems and turn LTE back on.

KitKat roms are currently having data issues. You could try backing up your current KK rom and go back to Stock, update prl and backup your DNS settings then go back to your backed up KK rom and restore from the dns settings you backed up.

ohhh i had this issue but i figured it out for pacman and most roms just download nova launcher and when you do create a shortcut on nova ad click on setting an it should say apn once there u open it and youll see where it says ehprd something like that click on it and go all the way to the bottom and change where it says bearer to ehrpd and lte should work ^_^
Ok so I finally got it working, although I'm not sure what was wrong with everything in the first place. My buddy said Cyanogenmod screwed up a recent ROM, so maybe that code was in one of the ROMs I was using.
Each time I flashed back to TouchWiz (I ended up using Wicked Sensations) I could get 4G/LTE. I ran a **72786*, did a PRL & profile update. Prior to finding a working ROM, when I went back to BeanStalk/PACMAN I would lose LTE. After I found the updated BeanStalk ROM I flashed and it still had LTE! Happy days!
At this point I was able to send MMS somehow, but phone was having problems being recognized by the network. I could connect to LTE but couldn't use the data. After I updated the APNs everything started working again.

Last night I loaded the rom hyper drive and it was working fine but after a reboot it would just bootloopso I refreshed with a different kernel(the stock one from aroma) from them on the phone will load but with no network connection. I tried every rom I could get my hands on (about 6) from AOSP to samsung base and everyone has no connection. My last resort was to restore using the unroot method which worked fine but I still have no network connection... What can I do?

how do you update the profile and prl?
once a TW ROM has booted. Click Settings -> System Update -> Update Profile and Update PRL are in that menu.
I hope that works for you.
If that doesn't work, there's a dialer code somewhere that will force a reactivation, just make sure you're on a wifi network

There are known issues with the Sprint version of Hyperdrive right now...the developer is working on a fix for this ....so I would just flash something else until a fix is released ....because reactivating the phone doesn't work...but they said dirty flashing it gets your DATA back but I don't recommend that.....this often happens with Roms that are released for Multi Carriers.

Could you break that down a little further for me? I've never used Odin, my apologies.
also try switching mobile networks to LTE/CDMA/EVDO and then doing a reboot directly afterwards. that usually works.

While you are on touchwiz, do a factory reset, and then do a hands free activation by dialing ##72786#. Let it activated a prl update etc, the check if you can connect to LTE.

So I tried this and I got 4G on Touchwiz. However when I flashed back to a nandroid I had made with LiquidSmooth, I again only had 3G. Any tips on how I can retain $G. This has something to do with the CM build with the wonky 4G right? Thanks.

I've had this Samsung S3 for almost a year now, and in the pass week, my radio has been acting funny, It dropped the IMEI, and pretty must lost all connections with my 3G network, So I ended up wipe the phone and setting it back to the default S3 ROM, after being on cyanogen mod ROM for a few months. After a bit of fiddling, I ended up finally getting my IMEI number back, and it worked fine.... till I connected to Wifi. After I connect to the Wifi, my radio stops working period. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
I'm running a Samsung SGH-1747M, which is an AT&T version, although my carrier is rogers in Canada.

Ok so I have a Telus model and this started a few days ago when I flashed an AOKP rom...
So, I don't get LTE in my area and have always had 4G (or whatever they say it is).. Ive flashed many TW roms and ALL the roms have displayed 4g...and for not having lte, ive been very impressed with the speeds.
However, since this AOKP rom I installed (which was awesome, just wanted to go back to TW), it displayed H+...
Now, I know what h/h+ is and all that jazz about the carriers.. My issue is, can't flash any TW rom now without getting 3g/h/h+ toggling back and forth nonstop and the speeds are horrible!!! Can barely download in the store and loading a page takes a while.....and yes, I realize that its supposed to help with battery and whatnot but I don't like it and just want 4G back!!! lol
So far, I can only get 4g back when I unroot and do a hard factory reset...
And even then, it still shows h/H+ until I go through all the system updates.... then, I go to install another TW rom and I'm back with the h/h+ again...
I have tried the att fix, installing latest modem and still no luck.
I even asked to do a factory reset on my fathers phone (we are on the same family plan) and his shows 4g even when installing any TW rom...
Does anyone out there know what I did wrong?? also, my imei number is fine..
Thanks in advance to any advice or help

So it constantly switches between 3g, H, and H+ ? Have you downloaded a network signal app to see what kind of signal you are getting and strong it really is ?
When you say you have done a complete unroot and factory reset, what method are you using ? Is this where to flash an unrooted stock firmware from lets say Sam Mobile and then done a factory reset ? Or are you just doing another type of unroot ? When you root what method are you using ?
You stated you are on a Telus model but flashed an at&t modem ? Are you on AT&T service ?

Getting 5753kbps download and 905kbps upload .
Whereas before my kbps were always around 11-12000kbps for the download speeds.
I always flash back to stock rom using odin and then factory reset.
Oh sorry if I stated that wrong. I tried an att fix as well as flashing the most recent modem for my telus device but both fixes did nothing.
Again tho, ive done this so many times with TW roms and cant figure it out..
Im currently trying to go back to stock and use the most recent CWM to flash and see if that helps

It doesn't seem to make sense that even after going back to stock unrooted 4.0.4 (or what ever it cmae with from the factory) you still have signal problems as the odin packages would flash the correct modem once you install.
Sounds like network issues.
Speeds of ~9000kb are actually pretty standard for actual usage with H+/H/3G. Don't worry about speed too much. And for future reference 4G is H+, its just another name for it. The common misconception is that 4G is LTE which it is not.

No kidding!! Ive done this a thousand times and have never seen it before..so starting to grt frustrated when told that its normal lol..
So when I get to 4.0.4 its still h/h+, but when I update the first time from samsung, it then shows 4g and my speeds are back to normal. But then as soon as I flash afyer rooting, it gies right back to h/h+ fast dormacy with no way of going back unless i do a hard factory reset again.

Are you sure it is the exact same version that you are running? He didn't update at all, no matter how small the update? If you flash from odin, everything that you did in the past should be overwritten. Go to settings->about phone and tell me what both of your baseband/build versions are

general rule of thumb, touchwiz roms cannot be built from source. The only way to mess with these roms is with winzipping and adding apps (i call it bloatware) to be honest, if you want customization go to AOSP. Every single time I use a touchwiz rom no matter how smooth its says it is, I get crashes, bugs, irreversible issues like you have, loss of connectivity, the list goes on. Thats all because of the limitations of not having source code, I would recommend you drop the touchjizz and find an AOSP rom you like, if not, stock rom is the way to go.

Hey just curious.. I was reading about going back to stock and making a copy of the qcn??
Can anyone confirm that copying this and then injecting it after a flash would work?

Unless your imei is lost I wouldn't mess with anything involving it unless you have to.

That your opinion is somehow fact. That somehow using a TW rom will just give you bugs and ruin your phone, as if a custom rom doesn't have glaring bugs as well. It's quite awesome the amount of customization that the dev's on the touchwiz rom's are able to inject into their rom's. Anyonr who thinks it's just unzipping files and adding apk's is uninformed. Is it on the level of PA or AOKP of course not but with more customization you add the possibility and almost the certainty that you have bugs and instability. We are quite spoiled on the i747 that we have kt and Task developing rock solid custom rom's. Most out there don't have that pleasure. If a TW rom on here is unstable it's because the dev has fallen short some where. I'd say I fall in this category and I am certainly no dev, just a noob cook. Equating TW rom's from 2.2 to the ones we have now is just fallacy. I do agree not having the source code put's dev's on the
In general I have had to deal with more bugs and instability with custom rom's than I have with a stock based rom (stock meaning what came on the phone). Yet that is not a gripe but merely the fact that I don't like to deal with the little things that pop up on custom rom's, and I prefer the aesthetics of TW. Crazy I know as many find it ugly.
I've tried all sorts of roms, AOSP and Sense, they all stay connected to 4g for a few minutes at most after a reboot and then go back to 3g.
Everything else works fine, and my sim works good in other phones and stays on 4G.
Any idea what this could be or what is causing this?
Have you updated to the latest firmware? If your using kitkat roms, you need kitkat firmware. You can find the firmware in the second post of santods stock rom thread in development. Use the no boot.img one.

Yea I've flashed those also. Everything used to work fine until that roaming display issue. Never returned to normal for me, even tho roaming is gone.
Have you ever ruu'd back to stock and then done a factory reset from hboot? That is the only way to wipe out the network settings and force them to be updated. Worth a try i guess.

I guess that's my only option, thought maybe I'd be able to avoid it.
I'll try tomorrow and update.
Tried to ruu back to stock yesterday and still getting the same results. No 4g after a few minutes.

I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.
I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all. I flashed the new firmware first, as instructed, and that seemed to go just fine according to the directions. But, when I swapped my sim card from my other One and waited a few minutes, even *228'ed, no data.
I got the phone already rooted and s-offed with TWRP 2.7.0.1. How do I get it back to stock to clear out the network settings? Or could it be a bad firmwware flash, so I'm screwed anyway?
EDIT: I redid everything, and just stuck with the Sense 5.5 mostly stock ROM. Data works now. Might've been firmware, might've been the ROM on my phone. Zero idea.
Is it possible to have a bad sim?
I just got a replacement device and I still cannot get 4G service for more than about 2 minutes before it switches to 3G

Sure, you can have a bad SIM, but I don't think that'd cause the drop in data transfer rate... lack of data all together, or other things not working, sure, but if you can actually catch a 4G link and then it drops to 3G, sounds more like the radios, the hardware, or just a bad coverage area. I'm no expert, though.
In case anyone was wondering, I ended up getting a new SIM and that has fixed my 4G issue. No idea what was wrong with the SIM, but anyway it sucked.
