Hi everyone.
I was hoping someone would be in the know in terms of figuring out a way to change network mode on the new stock ATT kitkat rom. I am currently on Tmobile and heavily depended on the ability to change network mode to GSM/WCDMA preferred or auto on JB. I managed to enable this previously hidden menu by altering the build.prop file ro.networkmode to enable.
Unfortunately, now, even after making that same quick edit with text editor, the menu is no longer available and i'm stuck on weak LTE signals for calls.
If anyone knows a work around, or a step that I am missing please fill me in!
Thanks!!

so there is no work around or additional build.prop edit to make?
I changed ro.build.target_operator = TLS and enabled ro.networkmode and it works

I don't think i can tell you enough how much i appreciate your post. Thank you so much!
TLS does work but it will also disable tethering and I need them to both work

yup, can confirm tethering no longer works but in my case it's the lesser of two evils. Would be great if both could fully function though.
Why not use another KK Rom like XitRom or RadeonMaya both are simply phenomenal ?

Hmmm why does this work? Operator tls = telstra? Aussie provider? I need to do some prop digging.

hi sir
i dont know what im doing wrong. i edit the build.prop but there is no change and i check and the file is edited so i dont know what to do
Do you have root?
Try a different build prop editor
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=build prop
Also try to change ro.build.target_operator = OPEN and enabled ro.networkmode and it works

Not working for me either i'm using FX editor with root add on. i double checked and it's edited to what i want and i still don't get networkin selection mode.
I used "build prop editor" changed
ro.build.target_operator=ATT to
ro.build.target_operator=OPEN.
And can change my network mode.
It also got rid of ATT in status bar changed to 4G icon.
Only negative outcome was sub tethering was disabled also. But I never use that feature.

Does anyone know where the Wifi settings are located? Maybe there is a way to disable authentication in that file if it exists.
Thanks!
Edit: Just to be clear on CDMA version it "Authenticates" with Verizon to make sure you are subscribed to their tethering plan before allowing you to use it. I am hoping to find a way to disable that authentication using either sqlite or some other method.

I meant some kind of hidden settings text file like a build.prop file.
After looking through with SQ_lite I found a 'preferred_cdma_subscription 1' setting but it cannot be changes because "Error 5-Database is locked" anyway around this?

The option for an open wifi hotspot is given to you in the menu (as provided by itsjusttim above). You don't need to modify anything.

Hi, my dad brought the this phone from China (for the second time, the first phone got bricked) and it came rooted with an ics rom. Wifi and the edge network was working,but I could not get 3g or 4g data. (It showed a 'G' on top of my network data bar on the top right). Is there a rom i can download that will allow at least my 3g data to be working. So far I tried cm10 but only the edge network worked and I had no wifi connection. My Baseband is SU640-MDM9200B V10i. I live in Canada and the phone is from China. Who knows what is wrong?
As far as I know the radios are different so that could be the problem.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
you have to modify build.prop to correct region so your phone uses the proper radio settings for this region.
i'm not an expert but you can get a build.prop editor on play store, change the region to US i think it's ro.product.locale.region is the entry i think that's what it is on my rom atleast

Thanks for the suggestion, i tried your idea but no luck. I changed the value of that line to US and also CA but it was still giving me edge network.

Same problem happen to me when I changed the baseband before set the network mode to "GSM/WCDMA preferred".What I do is to rollback "the initial baseband" and make sure is 3G available.

What is your baseband now?Have you ever changed it?If yes, rollback your baseband using " dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14"(baseband.img is the one you used before,v10i,v10f...or else) ,after finish reboot your phone and set your network mod to "GSM/WCDMA preferred".

Haven't done anything to the baseband. It is APQ806/MDM9200. Should I just type that line into a terminal I download from Google play.
Extra info: I'm rooted on the newest jb v30c but can't seem to get into recovery I think because it's a secured/locked boot loader.

Check "network mode"，is it "GSM only" and unchangeable？Otherwise this probably not a baseband problem

Is a tethering app that works on the latest TW stock ROM. I'm rooted and trying the WiFi Tether with TrevEMod but can't get it to work. It starts but can't connect to it.
SOLVED with these setting in WiFi tether TrevEMod apk.
Profile = Auto
Setup Method = Auto
Send netd max = checked
enable wifi encryption = checked
channel = 2
wifi driver reload = unchecked
wifi driver reload 2 = checked
access control = unchecked
mss clamping = checked
routing fix = checked
The stock sprint tether app has been modded and works much better. The Treve mod is what was used before the native app was hacked.

Where do I get the stock tethering app. I was actually looking for that. The option doesn't show up in Sprint settings now as only have USB/Bluetooth.
Here is the thread for this mod but if your running a custom rom they all have it built in. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40013605
Use this if your on stock rooted. You would want the Odexed version.

It is going to be in the sprint hotspot app. Look in your app drawer for it. You are looking under settings. It should work if you flashed the correct zip. Open the app and hit on. The ssid and pass will be shown

You can do it in the programming menu. It's been so long since I've done this for friends, I'd have to research it myself for awhile. On the ROM I'm running I can go to settings>more>mobile settings>access point names.

Since you are using it on Rogers, You will need to root and change your build prop, or flash the panama rom to get tether working. Its the AT&T Rom stopping you cause each time you try to enable tethering it only knows to check with AT&T and no one else.

Yea there's no way around that but to use a name like LG with no security and that only occanlly works. I thought you flashed the panama rom?? The build prop changes are not required for tethering to work that's only for the att version.
