Since I'm not using LTE, is it possible to use something like NRT to flash the non-LTE image on an LTE device, making it 5.0.2 ?
Has anoyone tried this?
And about reverting with success? Can NRT, by flashing only system image, brick a Nexus 7 2013 or is it always safe?
My SIM slot recently died and I have the same question. Rather not have to keep putting the device into airplane mode to avoid LTE seeking.

i unlocked bootloader, then selected root phone i accidently pressed button before it was fully booted up now its stuck at flashing google logo
Let me take a screenshot of you thread to remember me how NOT to post on xda.. thanks !
What I would do is rebooting my phone in fastboot mode (vol up/down + power) and flash the latest factory image from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html, but there may be other solutions
i fixed it, is there anything about rooting would kill 4g? i was showing 4g now after rooting im showing 3g?
How did you root your phone ? Basically rooting is just installing a file (su) on the phone, it shouldn't have any impact at all...

i used galaxy nexus toolkiit for bootloader unlock and root
As far as I know, Galaxy Nexus Toolkit let you flash radio and kernel, maybe you flashed something incompatible with you phone ?
What I would do is flash the latest image from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html (I believe you need the CDMA/LTE version if you have 4G ?) and start again

Several months ago I purchased the nexus 7 2013 wifi version. In my tiredness after a long day I unlocked, rooted then flashed a custom rom (aokp) my build numbers is KVT49L instead of KVT49H. I must have flashed the LTE version in error.
I'm trying to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. Wugfresh toolkit doesn't work, also unfathomables tool won't work either.
I have been rooting, swapping kernels, unlocking bootloaders and flashing custom since the Droid x days.
I assume I need to use ADB? I am having a hard time finding specific instructions on how to complete this minor upgrade to 4.4.4. In afraid to try anything being on the build for a different version of my device.
any suggestions are appreciated.
I apologize in advance if I left out any critical info regarding my situation.
Edit:
Also are the tool kits not working because I'm on the incorrect build?
K... so, does anyone have any thoughts about just flashing KVT49H rom over what I have?

Why isn't the toolkit working with flash stock and unroot? You should be able to select the option that says it is in a boot loop... And for current version, you can select anything you want - that is what it will flash when you do the flash stock and unroot.
If that doesn't work, where specifically does it fail?

It goes into bootloader mode and does not come out. Toolkits worked fine on N7 v1. I am attempting to un root and revert to stock.

Toolkit works on v2 as well. When you do the flash stock and unroot, you have to select the option that says your phone is soft bricked.
If that doesn't work, when you are in the bootloader, are you at least able to use the volume buttons and power to select recovery?
Thanks Mike, I'm going to try that

Soft brick option did the trick!! I was also able to restore to KOT49H. Thanks my friend
Is this possible? Would it just take away LTE capabilities? I'd be willing to sacrifice them for a bit to get some lollipop final build goodness.
Perfectly fine. I plan on doing the same thing.
Its not working on LTE have you been able to flash the FLO image on DEB?
I get the following error if I remove the WIPE option in fastboot.
Device product is 'deb'.
Update requires 'flo'.
Is there any update on this?
I accidentally got a DEB when I ordered a FLO- since I don't ever plan on putting in an LTE SIM, if it's possible to use FLO roms I'd much rather do that. Thanks

Anyone?

More to the OP, I'd never do this even if it worked. Mobile data in a device bought for just that is more useful than this update.
Have always been able to receive LTE up till a couple days ago. I flashed Lollipop and wasn't getting good reception so I flashed back to 4.4.2 KK and now I don't get any LTE connection?? could the lollipop ROM have changed the kernel or basedand of the phone? anyone know the stock kernel # and baseband #? What about the antenna, if it where to go out/bad would I still be able to pick up a 4G signal??
Thanks in advance...
What method did you use to flash? I recommend flashing stock 4.4.2 .KDZ through LG Flash Tool 2014 with CSE Flash option (Full wipe).

I did use LG Flash Tool to go back to stock 4.4.2 It picked up LTE just for a split sec then the LTE icon went away and its not picked it up since which leads me to think it MIGHT be the antenna BUT im getting 4 and 5 good bars of 4G, I wish I knew if it would still pick up signal if the antenna was bad? I replaced the little coaxial antenna thinking I might have damaged it when I had the phone apart but that wasn't it.. I'm not sure which Flash tool i'm using but I don't see a CSE flash option?
I'm talking about this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 . I don't know about US, but in Russia 4G and LTE is the same.
Hi fellow xdaers,
have been a while since i last flash / rooted an android device.
i have a T805Y running KitKat when I bought it from Telstra (Australia). i have then flash the generic Lollipop ROM (T805YDOU1BOG1_T805YXSA1BOG1_T805YDOU1BOG1_HOME) using Odin.
since then, i am having random lose of 4G connection and no way of getting back my mobile connection until a reboot.
does anyone knows if I can load a Telstra modem (perhaps a modem from KitKat using Odin (not rooted). my suspicion is that the gneric Lollipop ROM is not liking Telstra 4G sim card. i have to restart my T805Y every 2 days. disabling mobile network/enable flight mode still does not work for me.
my access point is telstra.wap.
when the 4G connection goes offline, i am not able to make any changes to APN/network mode. when i select network operators, it says 'can't connect'
restart is the only choice for me.
Thank you.
If you find out let me know please. I have the same model and would like to install custom roms but I think our model has the extra 700mhz LTE band needed for Telstra 4GX.
