hii, i am using Lee droid rom 7.4.2 with elemental kernel 4.xx for 2 months and all is working fine but recently i have changed my network to Zong Telecom here in Pakistan which is a subsidiary to china mobile telecom and i purchased its 4g LTE enabled sim card and yes i am in coverage area as well but when i go into settings and select 2g/3g/4g auto i do not get 4g signals and it stays to only H. it means my phone is not getting 4g signal while 3g is working fine... so i went to dialer and entered *#*#4636#*#* and in phone info i changed it to LTE only manually. and after few seconds all network dropped and i am getting zero signal..... i am afraid that this problem is due to my custom rom or custom kernel because i am getting 4g signals in my galaxy s5 .... so any idea what to do please?? any fix?????
Note: Zong telecom uses LTE FDD band 3 @ 1800 Mhz which our M8 supports... so no problem here as well.

Specific band support depends on what variant (CID). Are you saying that you know your CID variant supports LTE Band 3? Otherwise, it may not.
Check your APN. Carriers sometimes use a different APN for LTE.
Have you tried the SIM in another phone to verify LTE works on that phone?

CID or Carrier ID is the carrier or region version of the phone. It has nothing to do with the ROM, and can only be changed with s-off.
To determine your CID, do adb getvar all. Don't post your IMEI or serial number, if you post the getvar output.
You can also try a CID app, but I think these sometimes are wrong; and adb getvar all is the most accurate way.

That version should support LTE Band 3. I would try the SIM in another phone, and see if that phone gets LTE. Could be a problem with the SIM or the account.

What carrier version (CID) of the M8? The product ID of M8_UL covers quite a few carrier versions.
You sure the SIM is good (tried it on another phone)?

Change WCDMA to LTE and see if you get signal. Probably your phone WCDMA bands are locked.
I have the same problem with my M8 and still trying to unlock WCDMA bands since I live in Europe and my HTC was imported from USA.

Hello there guys, im wondering if it is possible to unlock a band from my htc one m8 from at&t, i live in venezuela and my current company (Digitel) the 3g band is 900, but this phone only have the 3g band on 850, my question is can i unlock this by any chances because is annoying that my phone is from E to 4G and manually i can even recive calls when its 4G and it wont change to 3g
(sorry about my english)
You need s-off by sunshine (if not s-off already). Then you can flash another version's radio/firmware to enable the desired band(s).
May also need to change CID and MID (after s-off) if the firmware is signed.

According to the following specs, Euro or Asia firmware should support 3G 900 MHz: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_(m8)-6074.php
Although, keep in mind you should also verify the LTE (4G) band used by the carrier is also supported by the version's firmware you pick. You didn't state what band your carrier uses for LTE.
Also, it should be kept in mind, anytime you purchase a phone from a 3rd party source (other than your carrier) you need to do the proper research to verify the device actually supports your carrier's network. You're lucky this time (if you get the proper bands working). This is the first smartphone chipset that allows band support to be changed in software. On previous smartphones (and may also be true on other current smartphones using other chipsets), band support was set in hardware, meaning there is no way to change it.

Same as I've already stated, EMEA (Euro) or Asia supports both those bands.
EMEA is a very common (probably most common) version on this forum, so that may be your best bet as far as ease of getting the files, fellow user support, etc.

NO. The Developer version is US, not Euro or Asia. Why do you think the Dev Edition has the bands you want, or corresponds to the Euro or Asia versions?
The Dev Edition has the exact same band support as the AT&T version, so this is the exact opposite of what you want (doesn't have the bands you want).
Euro firmware is probably what I would recommend (as previously stated), and can be found on the following threads (as well as other places):

Try the SIM in another phone, if possible, to see if it works on 3G on another device.
Also, be sure the APN info for your carrier is properly entered. Double check and triple check every input to make sure every single character is correct. Even a single added space or missing character can prevent you from getting data properly.

I own the HTC One M8 16Go gold Asian version, phone is rooted with ElementalX kernel but stock rom. My phone works with 700 (b28)/900 (b8)/1800 (b3)/2100 (b1)/26000 (b7). I had the TW Mobile carrier in Taiwan. I want to add frequency bands to enable 4G LTE in Canada. Most carriers work with 1700/2100 (b4).
So how to add these frequency bands?
You need s-off ($25 by sunshine app) to change radio baseband (which changes band support).
You can flash AT&T or T-Mob US firmware to change to the corresponding baseband (both support Band 4 LTE). Or the correct Canadian carrier version's firmware; if you want to, and can find it (ATT and T-Mob are probably easier to find).
But you should also verify what bands your carrier uses for 3G, and that the new baseband supports it.
In my experience, AT&T has past or current associations with some of the Canadian carriers (still has partial ownership in some); and the networks share a lot of similarities. So AT&T firmware may be the best bet.
I installed Sunshine app but can't perform any test because it says Xposed Framework has been detected. I delete it but still the same error.

Try to restore the stock ROM, then root and run sunshine.
One thing to keep in mind, its not guaranteed that you will have LTE even with the proper baseband radio firmware. I've seen a number of folks that were not able to get LTE, even after s-off and flashing the proper radio firmware (that supports their carrier's LTE band). Don't know the reason for this, and never saw a solution. But just want you to be aware, in the event you spend the $25 on sunshine, and still can't get LTE.
But the fact that the Canadian networks seem to be very similar to AT&T, leads me to think the AT&T baseband radio will work for you. Not based on any specific/exact experience, just a hunch. So don't come and yell at me, if it doesn't work!
Hello everybody,
I have a samsung I747M from Canada. I'm french and I'm using it here.
Data connexions are only in EDGE (the same as 2G). I want to have 3G data connexions. All the settings in the NPA are good.
I think the problem come from the CSC which is still the one attached to Canada (BMC).
All the firmwares are for Canada. I want to change the CSC (BMC now) to XEF (the one for France).
Does someone have an idea to fix this situation ?
Thank you and Merry Christmas !
PS : Sorry for my english...
You might have to carrier network unlock the phone.
Does the i747m support the carrier's 3g frequencies?

Thank you for your answer but my phone is already unlocked.
I'm using it in France with a local operator (Bouygues). Data connexions are only in 2G and not in 3G.
I think if I will change the CSC it will be good

I've checked and it works in 3G
I don't think it is a firmware problem because I took my s3 to London a couple of years ago. It was running stock bell firmware, network unlocked, and I was able to get 3G data connections without doing anything to the stock rom. Changing the Csc should not make a difference.
Hi.
I need some help to change radio baseband on my m8 (0P6B130) so LTE/4G works with Telenor Norway ( https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/telenor-norway ).
it's s-off and cid 11111111
currently running: RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4
have tried this rom also, without getting LTE/4G working: 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed
ive found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736921
but not sure what image will work for me, if any.
if possible i have another m8 (OP6B100) working with LTE/4G, if there is a way to read/save radio from that one and move to my new phone?
What LTE band(s) does your carrier use?
3G works okay? Or how about 2G data?
both 2g and 3g working 100%, im only missing working LTE/4G.
as far i figured out my carrier Telenor Norway use B3 B7 and B20 for LTE/4G.
but i can not figure out what radio that supports those bands and to try out

According to these specs, the Euro version should support those bands (1800, 2600, 800 MHz respectively). Which would go along with the statement that you have a model OP6B100 which as working LTE. But it doesn't explain why Euro RUU 6.12.401.4 doesn't give you working LTE.
Does the APN on the working (LTE) M8 match what you have on the other one?
the one im missing lte on is a 0P6B130 as statet, its my old one that is OP6B100 that have working lte.
apn match, and verified with settings off carrier website

I understand that already. All these phones are the same in hardware, the band support is (supposedly) determined in the radio baseband firmware. What I'm saying, is that one you flashed the 0P6B130 device with the Euro RUU 6.12.401.4, it should (in theory, at least) have the same band support as the OP6B100 (Euro) device.
However, we've seen this before, where M8 devices have been properly "fully converted" to another region/version, but will still not get LTE service in that region. We've seen this a number of times, and I have not seen any good explanation, and unfortunately, no solution.
thats what i thought after a few days googling, and reading around in here too.
can it have been some fault in flashing of radio even it said right radio version in hboot and android?
is there a rom for just flashing radio from the 6.12.401.4 RUU ?
tried to make backup of radio on OP6B100 from adb shell, but its not rooted so that went nowhere
