Galaxy S5 G900W8 cant enable LTE (ex. Wind Mobile phone) topic

Hi there,

Im not sure if this was discussed about this particular situation.

I recently switched from Wind mobile to Fido which offers LTE connection. Unfortunately Wind disabled Lte network mode :( And the only mode I can connect to is 3g.

I have rooted the phone and tried various methods on how to enable LTE
including guide on xda how to enable all bands.

The only thing i have not tried is flashing new modem firmware.

Here is my question:
1. Would flashing new modem firmware enable lte network mode?
if so which modem firmware should i use and is there a guide?
2. Would upgrading to new rom solve the issue?

Please help me, thank you for any suggestions.
Senya

[HOWTO] Root + TWRP WIND Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V running 4.4.2 (M919VVLUFNE1) topic

Hello fellow Canadians WINDmobilers :D

Like many of you I've found all the previous guides to be outdated and obsolete, so this is an updated guide for the latest stock ROM with base-band M919VVLUFNE1 and future kitkat updates (we'll probably need a new guide when AOS 5.0 rolls out)

That being said, lets gets things rolling:


WARNING! rooting your phone can void your warranty, do so at your own risk.

NOTE: These instructions below assumes you have a brand new phone just out of the box, all settings on default.
If the default settings have been altered, please make sure you have the Ractivation Lock (Turned Off) in your phone Settings > Security or you will get a FAIL! message in Odin.

Download Kies (for the Drivers) from here http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
If you don't use Kies just uninstall it as soon as the Kies install is complete.
During Kies uninstall it'll ask you if you want to keep the drivers, say yes to keep drivers.

Very Important! for Chainfire's rooting method to work, you must flash this tar via Odin, before you flash TWRP recovery, else it might Fail!

[Q] Moto X XT1097 - revert from 5.01 to 4.4 downgrade Wind topic

Hi

just fyi in case someone runs into this:

I have WIND Moto X (XT 1097) which was unlocked (I am on Bell Mobility Canada) - with the original 4.4.4 firmware:

system: 21.31.52.victara_retca.retca.en.CA
baseband: MSM8974BP_2147.127.04.57R,VICTARA_RETCA_CUST

I manually flashed the retail 5.01 image (I thought the Wind soak test issues came only from OTA)

RETCA_XT1097_5.0.1_LXE22.46-22_cid14_CFC.xml.zip

After I flashed it 5.01 booted fine, but I lost cellular radio. With no way to DOWNGRADE, I thought I was hosed, but after reflashing the 2 original modem files:

fsg.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin

I was back up in 5.01 Lollipop with the radios working again - so I picked up my Bell signal.

I am just wondering now, is there a way to downgrade from 5.01 to 4.4.4 and have the radios working ? Ideally I'd like to reflash this stock image:

RETCA_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-52_cid14_CFC.xml.zip

Thank you
