Hello guys.
After a couple of days reading on the internet without success I decided to share my problem here.
I bought a LG g3 D850 32 gb on eBay, once I received it I was so happy enjoying the 4g LTE network, the speed was amazing.
Regrettably, one day all this happiness disappeared, now I only have Edge connection, I don't have 3g, hsdpa or 4g, I only get the awful Edge.
I have tried using my sim card on other phone and I get 3g and hsdpa (that phone does not have 4g) so the problem is on the G3.
I have to say that I have the phone with the stock rom and the only change I've done was to root it with kingroot and deleted (disable) some at&t apps. I thought this was the problem so I restored to factory defaults but the problem did not disappear.
I was thinking in to return the phone but I am in Chile so is a little hard.
I will be grateful if some one could help me with this issue.
I will be waiting for your comments
Thanks on advance

What model number/version/baseband/etc.
What's your base network and are you sure your APN settings are correct?

Hi Nick,
This is the Software info:
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00058-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: LRX21Y
Software Version: D85021r
Security Software Version: MDF v1.1 Release 3
I do not understand what the base network is. Is my cellullar provider?
The APN settings are OK. I didn't change anything.
I had all the connections and suddenly I lost 3 and 4 g and only get Edge.
I didn't change anything. I rooted the phone with KingRoot but I am not sure if the problem started in that moment.
I have made the Factory Data Reset a couple of times and the problem continues.
My Sim Card works fine in other cell phone.
Please Help!!!!

I had the same problem when I switched the operator. Went there and the man there tried everything but nothing helped. Last thing he suggested was to do a software update, did it an 4G speed came back

Yes, your cellular provider. What's your cellular provider and what's your APN? Is your sim from AT&T, a foreign provider or from a Chilean network? Does the APN match the SIM provider's APN?
I'm thinking that it's either an APN problem or a band switching problem (since you disabled some AT&T apps) or you just ran through your allotment of 4G data under your contract.
If you've tried your SIM very recently in a friend's phone and it works just fine, then it's probably not a data allotment problem.

I am using a chilean provider with the correct APN, the same I used from the first day when 4g were working fine and the same.
Yesterday I tried mi sim card in other cellphone and I got 4g without problem. I checked the apn and they was the same.
Now I tried with tho different ROMs, I changed the kernel and the modem and I'm still get only EDGE :crying::crying:
I do not know what to do. I think the cellphone is bad
I'm guessing that you may have disabled something when you were deleting the AT&T bloatware. You've got a D850, right?
As @trickie69r has mentioned in a previous thread, try downloading your KDZ direcly from LG's Servers using: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b...XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your own IMEI, which can be found by dialing *#06* in Dialer)
Take a screenshot of your About Phone > Software Info tab before and after and see if anything changes.
Buena suerte!

Thank you Nick.
I have flashed some Roms, and the problem did not solve.
I have tried to download the stock rom but I can't download it from the link you send me. I can't find D850 stock rom.
Do you have other link to get it?

Did you try using the ROM in this thread, or just installing the AT&T apps to see if those worked?

Yes I tried that rom and stock kit kat and nothing works.
I think the cell phone is defective because I have other LG g3 and works fine
I got Verizon Note 4.
Verified that it is unlocked. Not stolen. No contract binded from Verizon store and through phone (Clean phone)
Android Version : 5.0.1
Location: Las Vegas
Insert AT&T sim card. No signal.
Change APN setting following the information on AT&T website. Still not working. No signal.
At&t store rep. said I need to l unlock the phone ( I already check with Verizon via phone and store)
Verizon rep. on phone said: I should be able to use the phone with At&t sim card
Verizon Rep. in store said : Galaxy note 4 won't work on AT&T. It needs to be rooted by an expert. Only Galaxy S5 or later version will work.
I searched websites and many say that they are using Verizon Note 4 on AT&T network (At&t sim card)
I just need to use phone and text message. No data needed.
Anybody can help me?
I was able to use SIM from AT&T before yesterday, but after trying to update the firmware using Software Upgrade Assistant tool on Windows 10, it's now stuck at 'searching for service'.
Did you change the network settings from global to lte/GSM?
I am reading this. Maybe a solution.
Did you try to insert a different carrier sim card and entering the unlock code?

After reading post i see you have a att sim sim on verizon phone. This could be a problem as verizon and att dont play nice. Stupid question is did you actually pay for service?

Yeah. Me either.
Did you do a factory reset after software update. Usually helps. Also mess with APN settings. Reboot after changing APN.
Problem solved.
Changing APN settings and reboot did not work. I just inserted the Verizon SIM came with the phone and made a phone call. Of course it's not activated, so I hang up when it reached Verizon automated system. Guess what, now SIM from Lycomobile works. H2O Wireless SIM also works. It means that it now can work with AT&T and T-Mobile network.

I'm in a similar boat as you (4.4.4 on Cricket Wireless, wanting to upgrade to 5.1.1). I just want to make sure I understand what you did to restore service:
1. You had phone working on AT&T with an older Android version (KK?)
2. You upgraded to a newer version via the Verizon upgrade tool (I assume 5.0.1 since 5.1.1 is not yet available via the tool)
3. You lost AT&T service after upgrade
4. You were able to restore AT&T service by using an inactive Verizon SIM and making a phone call
Is this correct? TIA

Mostly, except that I tried to upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1, but found that 5.1.1 was not yet available via the tool, but the process of installing the software on windows 10 and maybe I also used the Verizon SIM during the process which might have messed something up. I updated the firmware to 5.1.1 by downloading the zip file in a thread here and flashed it through recovery. The network connection problem was then solved by making a phone call with the SIM came with the phone.

I just updated via the Verizon tool (BPA1 finally showed up) and it was, surprisingly, perfectly fine. I first backed up as much as I can (via Smart Switch and Helium app), then pulled my mSD card, left my SIM card in the phone, and proceeded to update. After the first boot stuff (app optimization, etc.) I soon saw the AT&T sign in the notification bar, and I was able to make a phone call without doing anything else. With all the reports of SIM card locking after updating I was worried that I might run into the same issue, but was pleasantly surprised that I didn't. I had to re-enter the APN setting as the upgrade seemed to have removed it, but after re-adding Cricket's APN I was able to get cellular data as well.
Thanks again for your help
You need to access the hidden menu and change your radio and modem protocols. There's a forum on XDA called domestic and internation sim or network unlock for spring but should work the same on verizon
fyi, i got my note 4 working on gsm using 2 different freedompop sims-the at&t lte sim gets lte via band 4.
the global sim based on t-mobile did get hpsda+
just change the apn
I have an unlocked Verizon note 4 on ATT network everything works fine except when I try to update it....What can I do about it? Do I call Verizon or ATT? I also wiped the phone and still nothing.
I cant post the picture of the error message I'm getting but it says: Service unavailable. Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
Android version is 5.0.1
Build number is LRX22C.N910VVRU1BOAF

Since you aren't on Verizon's network you can't take OTA updates. But you can flash with Odin
Use the original sim if you have it.
I had the same problem because I was using a nextplus go sim card. Luckily I had my original sim that came with the phone. I just swapped it back in and updated over wifi from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. It worked perfectly.

I don't that means but I'll figure something out...
Not really technical when it comes to cell phones.
My friend brought an original refurbish Samsung N910v android version 5.01 which was working with GSM 2G if not 3G until when I tried to update to new version android v6.0.1. In the menu>setting>about when I checked first before anything it showed me N910 F v5.01 but in boot mode Odin it was N910v.The problem started when I just typed *#9090# the phone immediately started reboot loop. I have managed to unlock the boot loader and root the phone installed custom rom version 6.0.1 by Paul Pizz rom VRU2CPJ2.r-1 but still can not have 2G or 3G GSM network. Please help to revive the phone again whether it meant to go back to 5.0.1 that would work with gsm cause am full stack now.
Have you checked to ensure you have the APN information in place? I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910V now (just got it a few days ago) and when I put my T-Mobile SIM in it from the very first time I have to manually put in the APN data - on custom ROMs it's usually picked up and there automagically but not always so, my suggestion is that you check to make sure your APN information is currently there as it should be.
Settings - More - Cellular networks - Access Point Names - make sure the one you need to be using is selected and if it's not then you'll have to put that info in manually and save it.
As for the actual model number, take the battery out and see what the model number is on the sticker in the battery compartment area - if the sticker isn't there then it could be a device that someone has done some experimenting with because that info can be changed. The sticker should be there, of course, but sometimes people take 'em out when they're mucking around with stuff, who knows.
Initially the phone is from Verizon but was working on 2G ,3G GSM network with N910F firmware version 5.0.1.it was working on airtel network until when I wanted to update. May I have the Apn settings,please

The APN will be your network. Are trying to use Verizon? If so, you should have a spot to tic the VZWINTERNET. If not, then you have a sim card issue.
ziggy the how do i sort out the sim card issue ,Since phone says this sim card is not from verizon

Is the sim from verizon? If you have a good account go to a corporate store and have them give you a new one. It's free.
Also, what are your APN settings and I will compare to mine. Everything works on mine.
the fone I have came from china ,am in Africa and remember I told you it was working woth N910f firmware version 5.0.1.All am asking is there anyway I could make this fone work again on Gsm network, cause all it says after re flash is the card is not from verizon
I now rooted this n910v android version 5.1.1 still no network, am in Africa where there is 2G&3G GSM network, how would I make this fone to work again with the gsm network now that I rooted. On the network bar I get a circle with a cross ,how to make this work

- N910VVRU2CPJ2_FullFirmware_NoAboot<--- Full Framework with no aboot so you will not re-lock bootloader, but will unroot and restore back to 100% stock. once your on the full stock check if your connections are working fine, if they are then install custom rom, otherwise change the sim card
go in settings, connections and select network mode to global, should be fine
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions before I flash my phone (or waste my time doing so).
I'm using a Verizon Branded Note 10+ (N975U). However, it's carrier unlocked and being used on Total Wireless (a Verizon MVNO - subsidiary of TracFone).
I'm not getting OTA updates because I'm no longer on "real" verizon service. I verified this by waiting 5 weeks for the Android 10 update, and then popped in a friends VZW SIM and got the update instantly. I'm now behind again (Verizon dropped their most recent update over a month ago w/Jan security patch) and receiving "no update available" using the update firmware option in settings.
Additionally, my total wireless SIM can't populate an APN, and I've had nothing but problems with my data as a result. I'm assuming this is because of the VZW CSC, but not sure.
I'm thinking of flashing to the most current U1 firmware, and hoping/assuming this will resolve my problems. Wondering if anyone has any feedback.
If I do it, should I flash the VZW CSC again, or use the TFN CSC for Tracfone, or XAA for default? Do I need to hard reset? Official or Modded Odin? Etc.. Any help would be appreciated.
A little further info: If I put an AT&T SIM card into my phone, it will populate the AT&T APN from the SIM card, so I'm assuming my APN issue is that Total Wireless still uses the VZW CSC, and there's a conflict that Verizon firmware overrides the APN setup aspect. However, my Total Wireless SIM card works perfectly fine and populates the APN on my Unlocked S9+. This is a big part of what makes me think going to U1 will help my issues.
Yes flash the U1, you won't have any issues and will be even better on total wireless. I did the same for MetroPCS
