Just a question here I'm wondering if someone can clear up. Why is it exactly that you need the ZV7 or ZV8 modem for ROMs such as CM12 to Boot? Are the LS980 versions of those ROMs built around that? And if so how come they don't build them around ZVE to support LTE?
It is mainly due to the boot loader. The original boot loader crack is zv8 which is also the modem base. That is what I understand.

I see. Does the ZV8 modern have capability for LTE and is just missing Spark though? CDMA/Evdo-auto is all that seems to get my data working on any AOSP roms. I'm on Slimkat right now though and noticed there's an LTE switch which switches me back and forth so that'd be convenient for where when I'm in a strong LTE area.

Zv8 does have lte capability, but it is missing the sprint spark, i think we have to unlock the zve bootloader in order to have spark in cm11

The thing is though, I haven't been able to get regular LTE to pop up any AOSP ROM either. I'm currently using the resurrection LP ROM so maybe its a restriction of that and CM12 in this particular case but any time I toggled in on in the other roms it also doesrnt work. Only 3G. Am I missing something? If I could get that to work this would be golden since the LG camera has been ported and the remote all I'm missing is LTE.
Lte is hit or miss. I've gotten mine saying it, but actual lte I don't know.

It depends...are you stock, rooted stock, or custom ROM? The reason I ask (regardless of settings) is I never got 3G on stock. After I rooted and used Kasper's AOKP nightlies my phone would use Edege, G, 3G, and 4G. Where I work the signal wasn't so good so locking onto 3G was tough but with the J4 and JA modems now I can consistently hold 3G with the AOKP ROM.
My opinion is to check for the newest modem which is JA (Jelly Bean update) if you are rooted and use that from the modem download thread here on XDA. If you aren't rooted wait for the upgrade and you will get that modem regardless.
However, AOKP ROM most likely works differently so you still might not see 3G if you are stock JB that's why I think we would needa bit more info.
I'm stock everything for a change lol. I also have the latest jelly bean update. I haven't seen 3G once on the phone since I've gotten it. It's really weird...

Your second guess is correct. Tmo is edge or a highly evolved version of 3g. It has nothing to do with stock vs rooted. The modem or kernel may help a little depending on what you are running. If you are in high speed 3g area aka 4G be happy.
Yeh it just gets annoying when I drop straight from 4G to Edge. :what:

T-Mobile uses HSPA+ for their current 4G network, which is just an extension of their 3G network. So, if you're on stock, it will jump from Edge to 4G, since T-Mobile's 3G and 4G are of the same technology.
When you're rooted, it will show 3G while your phone is at rest. As soon as "heavy" loads come in, it will shoot straight 4G. At times of very light loads, your phone might stay on 3G, but it's rare.
Bottom line, you're phone is perfectly fine when it jumps from 4G to Edge. Stock won't differentiate the two (3G&4G).
Well described... Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully it helped some other people also.

I'm having a difficult time understanding your post (probably due to autocorrect). Please verify the following:
You have a Sprint version of the Galaxy S3.
You're currently on the Prepaid service MVNO which allows Bring Your Own Device (byod, had to google that one).
On TW Roms, you have working 3G and LTE.
On AOSP Roms, you only have working 3G (not LTE).
I honestly don't know how to help you on this one. I just wanted to verify the information above so others can help you.
If that is the case, when he flashes aosp her may have to go into the settings and switch from cdma only to cdma/lte

Then I have an easy solution for you. It may not be what you want to hear but just stay on TW.
all kidding aside flash the tw update profile and prl. Then flash an aosp and see if that works.

Yeah i havnt tried that but ive done this ##72786# that is supposed to reset the network config to default or factory. ...so after doing that i have let it set up the connection after establishing a 4g connection and making sure it works correctly then i flash a rom.. ...now the rom i really want js miui v4.1.. but i cant even confirm lte works.. but it doesnt work on any aosp or aokp

Oh to have your problem haha. Yes I have 3g on it. Sprint hasn't finished updating the Raleigh area, so I get spotty LTE. In fact, due to their handoff bug, I only get lte for a few seconds before it switches back to 3g (on previous roms)

Which baseband you got? I doubt we have different ones, since the phone I think only has 2 modems out.
Edit: After looking at the post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426 I don't know how to distinguish v7 and v8. Regardless, I highly doubt that's the issue.
Have you tried changing your Preferred network type? Mine is set to "Global" On occasion, I've seen Data enabled turned off seemingly spontaneously on other devices, sooo check that too

actually when i reflashed with new gapps I had Global/3g/2g/LTE as my network options. after it goes out, all I have is LTE/3g/2g and anything but LTE kills radio.
I wonder whats going on. Maybe google is restoring some type of data?
i know the guy who flashed yesterday and had it working, lost data after some time, and I wonder if he ran into same issue I had.

It sounds like the ROM doesn't know how/when to fall back onto 3g to answer phone calls. Did you try 3G or 1x only to test calls?

it switched fine initially. showed 3g in status bar, sent SMS. started a call.
once the preferred network changes, anything but LTE kills the radio. "Emergency Calls Only" is what the status is in the quicktiles. With a blank radio signal indicator.

so i can go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu via the dialer and change the radio mode to EvDO only and get 3g and can make calls and send SMS. If I choose CDMA/LTE it transitions to the LTE network then ****s the bed and won't send SMS or make phone calls. It does send MMS and have fully functioning data on LTE. However, then its just a tablet.
I'm going to wipe and reflash again, as I did mess with a whole bunch of crap now and see if I can get anything figured out.
Any ideas?

Baseband display number is the same from ZV7 to ZV8, hoping LG gives us an actual name for the next one.
What version of gapps are you guys using for this?
I'm in a real pickle. I have a AT&T (I747) S3 that's capable of LTE. I've flashed several T-mobile rom's on it and everything seems to work except I don't get an option to choose LTE in the Mobile Networks. I assume this is because T999 did not have LTE but T999L did.
Are there any roms that are touchwiz (I need wifi calling) and also support LTE?
Thanks folks!
Um... Why haven't you tried at&t ROMs if you don't have a t999* device anyway?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
Because AT&T roms don't have Wifi-Calling feature. I should have clarified T-Mobile is my carrier.
I was able to figure this out. I downloaded this 4.3 Stock deoxed ROM for T999L and I was able to get everything working. Now onto theming it like an S5. Unfortunately majority of the custom roms out are for the T999 and don't support LTE. http://click.xda-developers.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_14033932361886&key=f0a7f91912ae2b52e0700f73990eb321&libId=e2cc1c90-f9dd-49fc-b098-d6b1401acb32&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2561670%26page%3D7&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.androidfilehost.com%2F%3Ffid%3D23252070760975307&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2561670%26page%3D8&title=4.3%20Update%20for%20T999L%20now%20live%20-%20Page%207%20-%20xda-developers&txt=%3Cfont%20color%3D%22Blue%22%3ET999L_4.3_UVUBMK4_deodexed_KnoxFREE.zip%3C%2Ffont%3E

I still can't seem to get LTE on this AT&T S3 (/w AWS enabled). In the same area I'm able to pickup LTE on another AT&T S4 (/w AWS enabled). I'm able to pick up Edge and HSPA+ on both.
UPDATE: I was able to connect to LTE but I had to force the phone to use LTE Band 4 using *#BAND#. I was not able to make any calls at this point since it was the modem was running LTE only.
I then moved the modem to Automatic and the LTE remained and I was able to make some calls but on ending them, it went straight to Edge instead of HSPA+ or LTE.
The switch over between Edge to HSPA+ / LTE doesn't seem as smooth as the S4 and sometimes it just doesn't switch and sticks to Edge.
Ideas?
People have been trying to do this for a while and it is something I believe just isnt going to work. The I747 was built to use a specific set of frequencies on AT&T networks. T-Mobile uses different frequencies/bands and the I747 simply cannot make proper use of them. There's threads in AT&T forums about this. You should check them out.
I used an I747 before with T999 ROMs and had no problems connecting to LTE once I used the correct APN, can you please state what APN you are using?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Ok, I have realized that this is an error caused by the AWS patch going away when I reboot. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen with I747 and only with i747M's but it seems like it's happening to my unit.
Once I have the AWS patch on, it goes quickly from E - > 4G (HSPA+ - > LTE (when available). When the HSPA+ is only available, it has a much harder time moving from E-> LTE directly.
