My galaxy note 3 is currently running the latest stock firmware from Tmobile, non-rooted. For about a week there was still LTE signal on my device; however, today after I received a phone call from a friend, the mobile network drop to EDGE and won't get back to LTE. I tried restart the phone, reset the apn setting, and nothing works. I had this issue before with a custom ROM and assumed it was due to the ROM that I installed. Now it happens with a stock firmware as well.
Does anyone have any solution to this or have the same issue and know to get LTE back on their note 3?
Thank you for your time.

I restore to stock several times but I never use kies to restore stock though. I'll try it then. But for the record, whenever I restore to stock, or factory reset the phone, it has LTE back; however, for about a week, it drops to EDGE again :/

i know i shouldnt be advising this but:
if u dont have insurance, call tmo tell them you want to add insurance to your account....call back later on, and tell them you need a warrenty exchange due to your LTE not sticking. if they deny then well not to sure what to tell you buddy

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also make sure you have an APN set. @Bajanman has compiled a list of several AT&T APNs in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Reading your first post, ATT flashed your phone to the latest update??? And changed the SIM? And that didn't work?
Why did you leave the store when your phone didn't work?
They told me they can't do nothing about it and the warranty was voided too.

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

If your phone is SIM unlocked but region locked, RegionLock Away will unlock your phone. If it is SIM locked in addition to being region locked, RegionLock Away can't do anything for you on its own. There's two different locks in play here. If regular unlock methods didn't work (including paid methods of entering in the code), RegionLock Away should finish getting rid of the lock.

If you're on a custom rom, and you're on 4.3, you do not have access to the service menus. You need to be on a stock Samsung rom and on 4.2.2.
When I'm talking about paid codes, I'm talking about the unlocker services online that require you to tell them your IMEI, not the RegionLock away app.
Ok, so rnd 2 happened last night. I reverted back to 4.2.2 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628but yet again i cant make calls. So now what can be wrong? Is ot cause on on mk2? I tried to go to md modem but i kept gettin fail in odin...if i make a call the recipient sees it...but nothing..
When i try this method i an get all the way to step 6. When there i do t have an option 3, just 1 option. So wtf??????? Grrrrrrr

I would have thought the stock MDL firmware would have also reverted the modem to MDL. I suggest finding one that does (re-ODIN this one first - I recall a few people said they had to do it twice) , as possibly both the ROM and Modem need to be MDL for the unlock process to work.
OK. You have to be completely stock in order for this to work. I am not sure why you are getting a fail message on Odin. Can you maybe give us a description of how you are doing it? The Sim unlock thread clearly says you have to be completely stock which will be android version 4.22 with MDL. You are back on 4.22 but you still have the mk2 modem. We will have to figure out how to get you completely stock before we can go any further.

Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=14362 and download the 4.22 file for M919. The link should go directly to it. Follow their instructions and you should be completely stock one you're done. Once your done be sure to test your device and make sure you have sound. If you don't have sound you most likely have a hardware problem so you will have to root again and reset your counter then unroot so you can return your device if you haven't voided your warranty. If you do have sound then go back here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068 and Sim unlock your phone and profit. Good luck!

Depending on the version of Android you have on that phone, it will trip the Knox flag. Which won't affect the performance of the phone, but will indicate you messed with your phone. There may be other rooting methods that work, but this one worked for me.
BTW, I found that method by using Search on this forum and Google.

The safe root method is how i rooted with 4.3 but it is my understanding that you need your phone to be unlocked to use a different carrier. Unlocked and rooted are 2 different things.

Rooted Because I want control over my pohone and not somebody else saying what I can and cant do with it.
I can get it to bot in cwm recovery but thats all it won't rot the rom so I can see it its rooted or not. I followed eth entire instructions provided and used oden like it said to and all I suceded in doing was makeing a damn brick out of a phone I got to have running tomorrow morning

If you can get into Download mode (Power Off, then Volume Down+Power Button), then you'll need to download the Stock Rom and transfer it to your phone via ODIN. Do you know if you were 4.2, 4.3, or 4.42 before you bricked it? You can download the images from Sammobile.com

If you have access to ClockWork Mod Recovery, wipte the cache and dalvik and see if that lets it boot.
If not, just download a rom, any rom from the dev section that you want to try and put it on a micro SD card. Put the SD card in your phone.
Do a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) in recovery and flash the downlaoded ROM file. Your phone should boot right up.
You'll want a TouchWiz based rom if you still need to perform the SIM unlock proceedure so you can use it on the Cricket network. But once step at a time here...

Thats cause it wasn;t rooted before, hopefully it is now, cause my wife just went to Cricket to see if she can get her Iphone and mine on their network
I finally got the phone rooted but I screwed it up so bad I had to install a different rom to make it work, so not I'm roted and running wicked rom .Next I installed, updated and ran region away, it said it didn;t know if it worked or not, but I was told that it does unlock so hopefully it did.
I havea different S4 here ( SGHM919) that I'm gonna try the cf auto root on when the battery is fully charged, cause both my sons have S4's and they want to keep the rom they have now just be unlocked
If you were looking at cwm recovery then you most likely have root.

Thank you gentlemen, my phone is working again, rooted, currently running wicked rom, all the other phones are rooted with the stock roms for the kiddies unless they want to have a better rom
Region away works perfectly on mine even though it says it doesn't know if it did.
I was going to use triangle away, but it says something about bricking my phone and I really don't give a damn about the counter so ........
PanchoPlanet, Google is NOT my friend when it comes to phones XDA id my friend when it comes to phones
Now to go look for the stock memo pad that comes with the S4, I like that one best its simple and works
I too prefer Memo Pad, it's quick and simple, my reference to Google was that its quicker than the XDA search and more accurate. Good to hear your back on track.

Now I'd love to find a theme for Wicked V10 that would change teh color of the phone dialpad, I HATE white dialers, makes me remember when I was a kid back in teh 60' when my mom had nothing but white so she could see if it was clean, and sanitized, degermed, and all that, ( yes I was an outside type, and brought it all inside )
Oh and all I can say guys, is thanks for trying to help me I WILL figure it out for the firmware and hardware and software that I have, experimenting with a phone that I totally bricked today, gotta re-instal the entire os on it, so I'm gonna experiment with various versions of the SGH-M919 software, if I find out what works on what I'll post it for you guys to check and make sure I did right
Hi guys after a week of testing note 4 I'm returning my Note 4 and getting Note 3 back biggest dealbraker is the Sprint Spark no voice and data at the same time.
My question is how do i unroot it so there is no super U or TWRP I'm using the stock rom that came with the phone I just want to do the factory reset and return the phone. The ppl that will take the phone back will not even know hot to get to recovery I expect. How do I get rid of the TWRP recovery?
To anyone out there considering the switch from 3 to 4 Don't Do It! its not worth it unless you just got money.
Thanks!
anyone that does not see the different between the 4 and the 3 must not understand much. Sayin'
The N4 is the best phone I have ever owned. I have used all the HTC Android phones and also most of the Samsung phones, including all the Note series.
In one of the root threads, there is a stock tar file to run via odin and your back to stock unroot.
Many should not assume and research the device before purchase. As it may have been a dealbreaker for you and others. Many have also known this prior to purchasing phone. And still paid to have one. Personal preference. .........

Yes, use odin and do a factory reset from the stock recovery after a successful install
Do you guys have a direct link to the sprint kernel? That site won't load on my phone for some reason.

will this reset Knox? I heard that's once you have flashed the hardware is permanently changed, although I don't know if this is just reflected in the binary flag as showing 'custom'.
I"m wondering whether you can get warranty service or return a phone once you have rooted if you can't undo Knox. ?

This will not reset knox, but it will get you back to official unrooted with factory recovery. I've personally had a rooted phone serviced at a corporate sprint center with no issue's. But some places care whole others don't, hope this helps.

As far as my store goes, we don't check to see if it was rooted or not as long as you're within the 14 day return policy and there aren't any damages to the phone.

I messed up and installed the Tmobile TWRP by mistake. Now my phone won't write to my ExtSD card. I want to go back to 'out-of-the-box' status and start over. Do I just need to Odin/flash the Stock-NIE-trltespr-recovery.tar file from the shabbypenguin site you listed, to go back to stock recovery, no root status?
Thanks

In a word... YES! When you go back to stock, re-root, install the right recovery... If you still have write to external SD card issues, search "sd fix" here on XDA, run it and you'll be good to go.... Hope this helps...

I completely agree, it's by far the best!! I went from a LONG list of HTC's --> Note 2 --> Note 3 --> Note 4. Im shocked everytime I hear/read someone say that Note 3 --> Note 4 isn't much of an upgrade. They both have a 5.7" display, and a similar overall size, but that's where the similarities end. Note 4 is an absolute beast and destroys every other phone that's available!
hello ladies and gents I bought a note 3 yesterday from some dude thinking I could fix it and get a note 3 on the cheap. I was wrong the problem is hard to fix.
1 It will not register to network
it is not blacklisted or network blocked.
Ive read somewhere that after you register to many different sims it wont allow it to connect to network anymore.
what can I do I wonder as a last ditch effort if I replace the motherboard if that will work any suggestions please?

Have you tried updating the firmware? check the APN on the phone once you insert the sim.
You could try taking it to a T-Mobile store to see if they can get it to register. Sometimes they can activate it when you can't.

I cant take it to the store i bought it from someone or at least i dont think i can it didnt have the knox counter activiated but now it does so im pretty sure the thing that resends and receives the signal is broken but im not sure where it is.
its basically a tablet :/

Try updating to the latest firmware. Something might have broke the modem during an upgrade. Go to www.sammobile.com

everything else works without flaw it seems just will not register on network when I try the mobile data turns off and then it just never does.
Ive flashed 2 different modems via odin tried using a att sim (still no registering)
The phone is unlocked. I dont know what to do.

It is most definitely not imei blocked.
It feels like it might be hardware related but I have no idea how to fix that. some piece that deals only with registering on networks.
Corrupted efs folder is my other guess

Notes:

Well, that's interesting.
If you go to settings, mobile networks, and search for networks, can you select the network and have it register?
Also double check the apn settings. I borked my hidden apn settings once and couldn't get back on the network until i wiped and reflashed full stock.
If none of that works, try also resetting the nv. Look for my thread on 900t service mode for instructions.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.16 powered stock 4.4.2 SM-N900T
I've already rebuilt the nv build. It's a family mobile sim(tmobile)
Also the apn settings I can try that again haven't changed them since I did a flashed back to stock. I doubt it will change anything usually you can still register.
oh the sim doesn't even have service anymore anyhow. Yesterday was the last day but I don't think that would change being able to register anyway.
Notice that it turns off mobile data when I try to register it may be a clue but I haven't been able to make anything of it.
