Hi Everybody,
this is my first post, if it's been mentioned somewhere else on this forum, than I apologize about it.
I got my nice shiny Nexus 5X last week and I have immediately realized, it does not connect to B12 on T-Mobile. I saved some network logs on My old Motorola Nexus 6 and on my new 5X and it was clearly blocked. This phone should work on B12 right out of the box, therefore the immediate OTA update was suspicious for me. I was right, it was not only a monthly security patch, they have also "downgraded" the base band for us, just because a FCC approval is missing (911 access on T-Mobile's VoLTE), however on Project Fi we have E911... We still should have a Project Fi specific firmware until FCC approves T-Mobile's application...
I have downloaded the very first official ROM (MDA89E) and extracted the radio and flashed with ADB on my device. It is working flawlessly with the latest "I" firmware and MOST IMPORTANTLY I DO HAVE B12 on my phone.
If you'd like to try it, please do it. Remember, I'm not responsible for any damages, flash it if you exactly know what you are doing...
The radio(baseband) version what I flashed on the latest MDB08I is: M8994F-2.6.22.0.56
If it's worked for you, than do not hesitate to hit the "Thanks" button
Update on 12/07/2015:
The New MMB29K 6.0.1 update has a new radio, which is finally T-Mobile B12 compatible. (radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.30.0.68) Looks like Google and T-Mobile silently "solved" the issue. There is still no official announcement...
Just did this and got Band 12.
Thanks!
Did you use fastboot to flash the radio.img file?

yes I did (fastboot flash radio radionamexxxxxxx.img ) For example I renamed the radio file to "radio_old.img" than the right command will be:
fastboot flash radio radio_old.img
you have to run the command prompt with administration right and most importantly you must have an UNLOCKED bootloader
Thanks! Nice discovery!
Will B12 work even when I'm just a normal TMobile user or is this limited to Project Fi subscribers?

It's not limited. Since Marshmallow the firmware supposed to be universal for everyone in the same market.
It will work just fine for T-Mobile users, I'm 100% sure.
Wait, so you're saying it has Band 12 out of the box, but that first OTA update you get after starting it up eliminates it? I knew I should not have installed that.

Correct, and you do not even have chance to eliminate it. At the very first power on cycle the system will install it once you set up your WiFi network.... It will immediately download this "update"

It immediately downloads it, but it does not install it until you tell it to, at least in my case.
I just flashed the radio and the LTE discovery was telling me I'm on B4. I covered the phone to lower the reception and it switched over to B12. Thanks!
I don't suppose someone can upload a flashable zip for this radio? I'm at work in a concrete building and would really really like to see if I will benefit from this.
Thank you!

Please extract both files, than open it again in 7Zip or similar and you will have the radio image file. (XDA does not allow to upload files with "strange" extensions)
I hope it helps

Slightly off topic, but under Wireless & Networks → More... → Cellular networks, do you have the option of "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" either before or after doing the downgrade to the radio firmware? Trying to figure out if the absence of this option is an issue with the ROM, radio firmware, or my carrier.
I have good B4 reception but I can kick it over to B12 every now and then.

I do not have this option , I have not seen it earlier. I checked my wife's 5X, which is stock and updated to the latest firmware and There is no "Enchanced 4G LTE Mode" as well.

Here's my situation, I'm in the Dallas area, and have never seen a 4g connection.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my stock ODIN'd image, after having a JB ROM for a bit.
Thinking (first mistake) I muck up the radio I flashed FD02:
fastboot flash radio radio-LTE-FD02.img
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-FD02.img
The Baseband/Kernal/Build look fine to me (?), [Screenshot attached].
And
In Settings/ More / Mobile Networks, I still have LTE/CDMA.
So, here's what looks strange, in Phone info (Dialer>*#*#4636#*#*> phone information> ) , under:
Set Preferred Network Type:
Here are the options (i.e. no LTE options) :
WCDMA Preferred
GSM Only
WCDMA Only
GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto (PRL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Unknown
Question - Shouldn't there be an LTE/CDMA (prl) and LTE Only option?

Hi all, so I'm in quite the predicament. I can't seem to reestablish a mobile connection via Verizon at all since I've overwritten the stock ROM with Cyanogen. I have Inc2, now loaded with CM7, awaiting some help.
First I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM Recovery.
Next I flashed Build 4 CM10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934288 <--check it out here.
I couldn't establish any network connection whatsoever. So i wiped and flashed CM9 with the hopes it would be more stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573 <--again check that one out.
Again, no network connection. Lastly, I reverted to CM7 (because it was the last stable release directly from Cyanogen). http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Vivow_Info <--looky here.
I've searched far and wide, trying everything possible. From simply switching on/off airplane mode to manually typing in the Verizon APN. I just can't establish network connection now...and the kicker - I forgot to backup the stock ROM so I'm currently stuck. Please help
This thread may be of some help. Didn't do me much justice however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017

Have you tried changing your mobile network? Settings > more> network mode
Been there. You can try different radios from here, but BE CAREFUL. Take the following precautions:
Because you're on Verizon, only download 'x.x.01.xxxx' radios.
After putting the ZIP file on the SD card, verify the MD5 hash to ensure the file didn't get corrupted during download or during transfer to the SD card.
Plug the phone into your charger before installing. You don't want it shutting off during install.
Don't flash the same radio that your phone already has installed.
If all else fails, try the stock 2.3.3 RUU from HTC. If you can find a working download link to that, please share.

I've tried everything in the books. Manually setting my APN according to the Verizon settings. Also did trial and error booting and rebooting each network type to no avail.
A few things I noticed in the CM9 ROM (maybe bugs?):
The preferred network mode typically defaults to GSM/WCDMA upon reboot
The APN I create often disappear upon reboot.
Mobile Networks>Network Operators will either search endlessly or sometimes find both AT&T and T-Mobile as options, both of which won't actually connect as I have a Verizon SIM.
And in response to Slinkwyde:
To verify the MD5 hash, what needs to be done more specifically? (I'm learning as I go ) Did flashing a radio do the fix for you? I'll try this suggestion and post results.

Yes, flashing a radio worked for me. The simplest way would be to use an MD5 checker app. Use the app to make sure the file on your SD card matches the MD5 value given in the radio thread I linked to.
One more precaution: Don't ever flash the same radio version that your phone is already using. That caused problems with the original Incredible and might also cause problems with the Incredible 2. To see what radio version you have, go to Settings and look around in About phone, Phone info, or something to that effect. "Baseband" is another word for radio.

Short version: For Verizon, you want CDMA with EvDO.
Longer overview: CDMA vs GSM, and what it means for the Incredible 2
Verizon Wireless and Sprint use CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. CDMA is popular in the United States, but around the world GSM is far more common. All GSM phones use SIM cards, but most CDMA phones don't. The two kinds of CDMA phones that do have SIM cards are world phones (phones with both CDMA and GSM) and LTE phones (faster data speeds).
The Incredible 2 is a world phone (without LTE) and comes with a Vodafone SIM for overseas travel. This Vodafone SIM also has Verizon Wireless branding on it. The Verizon Wireless company is jointly owned by Verizon and Vodafone, a European carrier based in the UK. Verizon world phones have to be unlocked to use AT&T or T-Mobile, because Verizon doesn't want their customers switching to a competitor.
SIM cards make it easy for GSM users (not you) to use their carrier account in another phone. They can just swap the SIM. For CDMA carriers (such as Verizon), swapping service to a different phone requires contacting the carrier.

You don't need the sim card at all then, you're CDMA. If you're not on it already i would recommend flashing the latest ics firmware, it can be found in the ICS leak ROM thread posted by nitsuj17 , it includes the newest radio

Okay so what you both are suggesting are to just install the firmware, assuming I am already running the CM9 ROM? Because the firmware includes the radio. And this is done by renaming the firmware to PG32IMG and flashing it through hboot? Would this be an easier course of action than installing a radio alone? My phone is S-ON and if I'm correct, S-OFF needs to be active to install a radio.
Yes, you can install the firmware to get the radio, and the file name needs to be PG32IMG.zip for hboot. S-OFF is generally required for this sort of thing, yes.

Also, I may have a potential reason as to why I'm having this ***** of a problem. I originally unlocked bootloader using the HTCdev tool. At the time it was my understanding that the process did not matter as long as the results were the same. However it seems now that using their tool makes it so you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels. So does this mean flashing any of the CM ROM's I tried never included the radio portion?
Just stabbing at ideas. Feel free to verify/call me out.

Roms NEVER include a radio, its always separate. something weird has happened to you, I'm sure flashing new radio would fix it for you but you're dev unlocked which is gay Lol. When you flashed the cyanogen ROMs did you pull kernel and flash like you were supposed to, if not i can't believe you got it to boot but that may be a problem also.

If it helps, here is the process that I have used every time I flash anew ROM, working every time (excluding the radio of course.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujFWZbgj6bY

However I'm now hoping S-OFF will allow me to reroot, flash CWM, CM9, and of course a radio. Currently in the process of trying to run Revolutionary.
Hey, Guys. I'm now having a really annoying Problem with the 4G Network. I bought my M8_UL in China and due to the product introduction, the China Version support only the FDD band 1 & 3.

You flashed two RUUs with S-off and it didn't change anything? I believe that may be standard, as some of these .RUUs don't contain updates to the radio partition, right?
I believe there is a large repository of firmware / radio / etc flashables here on XDA, though I don't recall where I saw them. Perhaps finding one compatible with your region would be the way to go! I haven't any experience in this field yet, but hopefully this little bit of insight can push you in the right direction

Since there is no resource thread for this variant, I decided to create this one for the little community using this on XDA.
First of all, some warnings:
- Custom ROM and kernel do not work so do not attempt to try, it would just be a waste of time. Even if the ROM work, you will not have signal and there will be bug. So if you are not a ROM developer looking to support this variant, I suggest staying away.
- Debranding to unlocked/international variant is not possible. At best you will only soft brick, at worst you could brick your device.
- Since there are no RUU and none will be available in the near future, always have a stock back up at the ready.
- Root is only achievable with Sunshine through temproot and S-Off. So if you are not prepare to pay or for the risk, stay away as well.
Now, on to the main disk

EDIT: nvm i ran it in the bootloader and they seemed to work, however i am still not receiving signal on my 10 with us unlocked. it seems the only way to receive the KDDI au signal at all is to flash verizon's radio.
au has a funky system authenticating the phone with an ID system which is embedded within the stock ROM. I don't know whether it is possible to have signal with an unlocked model. That's the only thing keeping me from flashing a custom ROM on the phone. Maybe some ROM developer could take a look into that?
I did notice that if u flash the Verizon radio, then install a ROM while choosing unlocked dev edition, as the provider, you get signal and bars, but this breaks my 5ghz wifi capability for some reason and I only received 3g at speeds of 1.5mpbs download. So not really worth it. Is there an ruu for the Japanese HTV32 out there that would flash in my 10?

So not really worth it. Is there an ruu for the Japanese HTV32 out there that would flash in my 10?

There are no RUU yet, have you tried flashing the radio from the OTA?

Good news guys, I just found this website with links to download the RUU for the original firmware and all OTA up to date if anyone needs them.

Anyway, check your inbox. thanks !
If you mess up your device I'm not responsible, it works for me, and for others. I will help as much as i can, but it is on YOU, the user to follow the prerequisites and read carefully. This zip was created in collaboration with @TxanMoe and myself
This zip can be used to return to the stock rom(for the most part, you'll still have fastboot,root,twrp) as long as you can get into TWRP recovery on the device. It also flashes the modem bands needed for working Sprint LTE(bands 25,26,41, ect.."all the Sprint bands")
Prerequisites:
1. Activate with Sprint first if you intend to use the converted US998 on Sprint!
2. You already crossflashed to US998 if not follow the guide here "Frankenstein method" [https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...sflashing-t3780969/post76510671#post76510671]
3. You followed the bootloader unlock, root, TWRP "WTF" thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500
(US998 to LS998) Downloads: (Sprint LS998 system,boot,modem)* MAKE SURE TO FLASH MAGISK, NO-VERITY OPT ENCRYPT, AND RCD DISABLER BEFORE LEAVING RECOVERY!!*
Sprint 20b
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aQojUcchnEruHwnecfaVGToxZbmj-UX3/view?usp=drivesdk
Sprint 21a(may security patch)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JCalyu7mt8DW6wMWbgGViqj0oi9eUSr7/view?usp=drivesdk
*Instructions*:
a. Make a backup in TWRP of system,boot,and data before proceeding!
b. Reboot to TWRP and wipe data (factory data reset)
c. Install the SPRINTLS998.zip (20b or 21a)from TWRP (Do NOT leave recovery yet)
d. Flash Magisk, no verity encrypt, and RCD disabler(you should already have these files if you followed the WTF thread)
e. Reboot
d. Once booted up you need to connect to WiFi. go to settings, update profile and prl. Reboot

For anyone who flashes back to Sprint but needs to edit the APNs still, you can type this in command prompt(from PC)
Code:
adb shell
su
am start -n com.lge.hiddenmenu/com.lge.hiddenmenu.ModemProtocol.ModemProtocolMain
Then go to PDP Setting
Then go to APN setting

@JWnSC thanks to the help of some of you great people in this thread I have had the chance to do this conversion twice now. Both times it worked great but I did have to update the APN settings before getting mobile data to work for me. I know you were kind enough to include screenshots of the right APN settings but I just wanted to share that both times I used the ##SCRTN## dialer code to force OTA provisioning and it worked, so I thought you may want to add that option to your first post. Might be a good option for someone that's in hurry to get connected.
Only negative I can think of is that you would not have tethering unless you were subscribed or you manually added the "Dun" provision to the APN later.
Just wanted to share in case you thought it was worth adding to your original post. If not, no biggie. Thanks

Here is a zip for warranty exchange ect...*NOT Recommended* (you will lose root, TWRP)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19FHVNn6TS5ybdNIziL1nyKPWcIc_RN0t/view?usp=drivesdk
From TWRP(wipe data) install the FACTORYSPRINT.zip reboot device, update prl and profile, reboot, do a system update
It works. I tested it
I'll give this a real-world run-through tomorrow when my new LS998 arrives.

Yeah...it sucks we need this...sprint not allowing access to kdz is a load of bs...it is much appreciated that we have you helping to support us sprint users...i am looking back at my past lg phones now to see if i can find the process of creating a working kdz...one of the people i think in the g2 or g3 forums actually created a kdz using the untouched signed lg files and it was fully flashable to get back to 100% stock...i don't know if too much has changed since then to do this again...but it would be nice to have for some...me...i won't be doing anything that removes my bootloader unlock and root...but those with warranty may want to have that ability...thanks to all that have contributed to making this a great device...i missed root on a level people outside these forums may never understand
Could you tell me if i could switch out your LS998 bins for h933 ones? also on my dump from lgup can i just change _com6 to .bin ?

Right. change "_COM#" to ".bin" should be fine as long as the rsa keys match for the devices you are flashing. Don't flash nougat to Oreo or vice versa

Could you lock the bootloader after this? Or will it show an error?

Bootloader would still be unlocked but the message after every boot would disappear and you won't be able to enter fastboot. (After you do the system update)
I thought after installing the latest update it would lock the bootloader...it didn't, but it did remove the text after every boot saying to lock bootloader and you won't be able to enter fastboot after. Activating developer options will show the boot is still unlocked. It does change the software info to LS99821a instead of US99820a
To lock the bootloader, you could probably flash the other Sprint zip(without flashing magisk ect..) and just sprint recovery or the factory zip. Reboot to bootloader from twrp and lock it that way. Then do the Sprint system update *I have to do more testing tho I don't recommend doing this until it's tested*
I have followed WTF thread for my Spring LS998. I have also flashed the modem.bin. I have working LTE on US99820a. I went to try and update PRL and Profile but clicking the buttons does nothing at all. Is this common? Also, i noticed that text messaging are received intermittently. They come in, in bunches, but only immediately after I send out a text. has this happened to anyone else?
I'm assuming if i flash the SPRINTLS998.zip, it will correct this issue, but I don't want to if there is no need and there is a fix. I want to try out DotOS, but don't want to carry my texting and MMS issues over from my current U99820a setup.

You can't update profile/ prl on US998 firmware(or at least I couldn't). Backup your setup and try DotOS if you already have working lte. This thread is mainly for users to get lte back. I'm not running the stock Sprint firmware. I switched to stock firmware first to get lte working and switched back to us998 rom.
If you wipe data and flash the SprintLS998.zip you won't have any issues. It already contains the Sprint modem, system, and boot. No need to flash the modem from the other thread.
Will flashing the sprint zip only have bands 25,26 &41?? I'm in an area with band 13 also.. Thanks.

???
If you flash the Sprint modem you'll have all the Sprint bands.
It's just the US998 does not have LTE bands 26 & 41. So you have to flash the Sprint modem to get them. If the LS998 normally has LTE band 13, then you'll have that.
Have any of our few sprint users taken latest update and tried to bootloader unlock and root their devices?...just wondering if they actually managed to patch it yet...

I tested the latest update, it installed. I dumped the modem, system and boot from it. I can make a zip from it later. My bootloader was still unlocked tho. I plan to lock it and test..been putting it off, don't want to get stuck on stock haha. I need my phone this week. I'll test this weekend. After the latest update it removed the bootloader warning and I couldn't enter fastboot but the bootloader still showed unlocked under developer options.

I flashed the factory back to stock.zip and went to settings, system update.
Not worth it imo...I was testing the factorysprint.zip to make sure it worked. I can make a flashable zip later(to only include system, modem,boot)..I don't think much changed. Looks like it was just an update to disable fastboot and access to recovery

The first time I tried the profile and PRL updates they took a while to actually launch. Not sure if yours would if you just waited a bit longer (like a minute). I would try that and then the Sprint zip (that's actually more likely to fix your issue).
