Did you check MD5 sums on your downloads to make sure they are good? I've been using that one from the Rootbox thread for a long time.

Also, please don't cross-post.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mihirj.mj:
Nope i couldn't, none of the radios have MD5 written.

I have checked for my ROMs though.

But to make sure you point, i downloaded each of the radio once again but MD5 remains the same.

Sorry for cross-posting, I panicked, after seeing no such case seen/written in any of the threads

This and the E980(OG Pro) suffer from this problem on T-Mobile.

Sent from my LG-D800
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DarthGoldstein:
I would appreciate more helpful feedback than that. I already stated that I know that other people have had this issue with LTE. I will repeat my question: is there anyone that knows a consistent solution to loss of LTE service? If not, will there ever be a solution.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ace42:
Dude this is an old problem that existed since lte first came to T-Mobile. Customer service techs can't even fix it, and every radio combination has been tried to no avail. If you want LTE you'll have to use ATT or get another phone.

I am familiar with this issue and nothing exists here to solve other wise other people wouldn't be asking the same. The device is not working on band 4 for an unknown reason outside of att, even if you manually switch no service will be granted.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] DarthGoldstein:
This was a better answer. Thanks you.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Gysper:
Well after playing around, I could not get LTE to stick even with a brand new sim card. Somehow in the phone settings when you dial *#*#4636#*#* you can access phone information and change the radio type.

Unfortunately, it is always set to "WCDMA preferred" and may be the reason why this phone isn't getting LTE on t-mobile.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] schnauzer:
Can't teather, says can't authenticate

I am trying to teather my unlocked ATT E970 on T-Mobile. It is the stock ROM but it is rooted and I have disabled a bunch of stuff. I am guessing the phone is contacting ATT to see if it is ok to teather. I have also tried some teathering apps from the Play store but they don't work either.

Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] KnowNadda:
It's been at least 6 months since I did this (it's once & done) but I believe I used the method detailed at the bottom of this post under "Tethering" http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45739340&postcount=16

Before that I tried a bunch of different apps in the Play Store but this method worked. As I recall there is a small price for SQLite, which you only use once, but once used you need nothing other than what is built into Android. There may be other methods but this was easiest for me to implement running a stock based ROM.

I initially used T-Mobile on my then new E970 (purchased and unlocked via eBay) but have since switched to a T-mobile SIM with Straight Talk (couldn't get MMS to work with AT&T SIM on Straight Talk).

Pathetic 2g speeds!

I got the Tmo $30 prepaid plan and when my 5gigs of LTE ends the reduced 2g speeds that kick-in is pathetic. I have questions guys:

1) Is there a way to increase the 2g speed? 2) which Carrier has the fastest lowered throttled speed 3) Do regular non-prepaid customers have higher reduced speeds? Thanks in advanced.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ndno:
Where did you get the AT&T KitKat bootloader? I can't find it anywhere. I was able to root my LGE970, unlock the bootloader it came with (whatever came with 4.1.2 JB), and install CM11 fine. I can install the various KitKat variants but I'm not sure if I have the AT&T KitKat bootloader you're mentioning about.

This is the bootloader info I is attached:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] taemobig:
I just recently received an LG E970 from my dad when he bought the new Moto G. We have T-mobile and with the stock rom, I was getting an LTE signal but after 2 days, it went to 4G/HSPA. Decided to google why that happened and came upon this thread. I tried out the instructions here to install Cyanogenmod and the ATT JB radio, and I got LTE back! I live in downtown Long Beach, which is a few miles south of Los Angeles for reference. I also tested it in Huntington Beach and was getting the same speeds.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ndno:
Do you mind giving the link to get the AT&T KitKat bootloader mentioned? I'm not sure what bootloader I have as I mentioned above, I just unlocked it with 4.1.2 installed and installed CM11, didn't seem to make a difference. If you could list the steps/links that will be very helpful. Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] taemobig:
I didn't do the AT&T kitkat bootloader. All I did was install CWM, got the latest Cyanogenmod nightly and the AT&T JB radio.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] trueiceman:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] ndno:
So I followed trueiceman's advice and installed CM11 nightly along with the KK bootloader and no luck on getting LTE to work. Just HSPA. I tried pacman KK and paranoidandroid also but no luck. I was going to keep one of the KK-based roms but the battery drain is horrendous ; running wakelock detector shows that the phone never goes into deep sleep. And I even tested on a fresh install with none of my apps installed and the phone never goes into deep sleep; the Android OS was always at 50+ of the power used. Anyways because of the battery drain, I went back to a JB-based ROM, the snowJBv1.1 and the battery drain went away. I could only get HSPA only and no LTE. Not sure if I had to restore the EFS partitions (since I went from KK back to JB) I just used freegee to restore the EFS partitions that I had backed up before doing all the original bootloader unlocking, rooting and installing a custom ROM.

BAM! After restoring the original EFS partitions, I rebooted the phone and LTE kicks in after it booted up! I have had LTE working for the last 3 days. So I'm not sure if restoring the original EFS partitons did the trick.

I haven't tried restoring the EFS after installing a fresh KK-based ROM to see if LTE kicks in. I'm sticking with stock oriented JB for now because everything works
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jubeldum:
I've got a question and I hope it's not a stupid one. I noticed that someone ported a LG G3 rom over to the LS970. If someone ported the T-Mobile LG G3 rom over to the E970, would it be possible to have T-Mobile WiFi calling on the E970?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jayrod215:
Restoring EFS to get LTE

So what rom are you running now? And do you think it could be the rom that is what caused lte to kick in?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ndno:
I don't think so. When I first unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and then SnowJB ROM a few months ago I was never able to get LTE, just HSPA. So I've been trying by installing CM11 and KK-based roms without luck and since I get bad battery drain I decided to go back to SnowJB. On this previous restore I just decided to restore the EFS partitions that I backed up when I first got the phone with freegee. It's been over 4 days and I still have LTE.

Maybe someone is willing to test what I did on a KK-based ROM or whatever ROM they're on by restoring the EFS partitions (assuming you backed them up when the phone had the official stock software). I remembered using freegee so I just used the same software from the Google play to restore it. I recommend backing up your existing EFS before do so in case anything goes wrong. I would post mine but the EFS partitions contain specific data specific to my phone I'm not willing to post.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jayrod215:
Weirdest thing...

This really isn't related to tmo lte, which I still cannot get, but I do have an issue with this phone that I think this community might be able to help out with. Whenever I reboot my e970 the FIRST time, the home screen will always freeze after a minute or so, which requres another reboot to fix. After this reboot, everything works fine. If I were to reboot again from this, it would freeze again after a minute or so. It makes absolutely no sense. It freezes on reboot every other time. Hard reset, shutting down instead of rebooting. Nothing works. I am almost to the point of doing a factory reset, but if anyone has any ideas of how to fix this, any help would be appreciated. Stock JB, Sotck JB radio, Stock Bootloader, Factory Unlocked, Freegeed'd CWM, Rooted Framaroot, had xposed but removed, few other root tweaks.

Any help would be appreciated

Gave it a shot

Tired restoring the original EFS... Running cm-11-20140912-NIGHTLY-e970.... Still just HSPA...

Is your LTE still holding? Where about are you located? I'm in S.Jersey, just want to see if location has anything to do with it...

Thanks for trying and sharing!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ndno:
Yes, it's still holding. Here's one thing I didn't mention. When I first used this phone 6 months ago (on the $30 5gb prepaid plan) I was using a sim card that was registered to another phone (another imei was mapped to the sim card). Like everyone, LTE worked for a few hours before it went to HSPA and never went back. Last month I gave this phone to my fiance's uncle so I got another sim card. When I registered the sim card I put in this phone's imei. LTE didn't show up right away after activation but it did after I went back to a JB based ROM and restored the efs partition. He's using it now and it has LTE and he's averaging 15-20 mbps so he's watching YouTube often. So maybe this phone's imei being registered with the sim card has something to do with it, authorizing the phone to use LTE? I don't know.

BTW, I'm in the east Los Angeles area.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ace42:
LTE is working on CM12!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nick N:
What radio are you using?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ace42:
I returned the phone to stock via that LG program for windows, so I still have the stock JB modem from ATT. LTE also works on other ROMs, but CM12 was the 1st ROM I tried after returning to stock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jayrod215:

Something got fixed! LTE now working

I had completely given up all hope on ever getting LTE on this phone. All of a sudden, today, I turned off wifi on my phone and data turned on and voila! Beautiful 4GLTE appeared on my status bar. I couldn't believe it at first, but upon running a speedtest and getting 44 down and 20 up, I can confirm that I now have LTE on my Optimus G E970 with T-Mobile. For those of you who still actually care, here are the answers to the questions you would have asked.

ROM: Stock JB

Radio: Stock JB radio

APN: Standard T-Mobile LTE apn found anywhere on the internet

My Ride: 2002 Honda Civic

I know that probably no one is going to see this, but since I have been following and waiting so long to see this, I just thought I might throw this out there in hopes of someone in a similar situation being granted this long awaited wish.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intheb0x:
I'd be happy with that as well. But it doesn't stick, if I go maybe 10 miles away I'm stuck in edge all over the place.

Messing around in the secret menu I achieved this speed test
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
Is your EDGE because of the lack of anything else in your area, or because of no refarmed spectrum?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shitting:
Wow, this is great news. What APN and Radio are you using? have you done anything special to your phone?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Julianjb:
You should check out the "tmobile radio" thread. All I did was unlock the phone with unlock code, manually add the APN (fast.tmobile) and last was service menu WCDMA-ONLY>>MODEM SETTINGS>>RAT SELECTION>>AUTOMATIC (to make sure lte is enabled). Insert my new sim card (unlimited everything) I order direct from tmobile. I have not even rooted the phone everything is at&t stock. I also did this to my sisters LGOG and it worked too. My LGOG is on ICS and my sisters is on Jellybean. I think it has to do with the sim card because I tried this on my other sisters sim card (prepaid unlimited) and it did not work all I got was HSPA+ 21. The speeds i get on LTE in my house are about the same as the HSPA+.

Just putting this out there I use to have a moto photon 4G and if the bootloader has unlocked then 4g (wimax) would break is this the same as the LGOG?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shitting:
Thank you for the answer, I'll try this out when LTE comes to LA :good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Julianjb:
My moms new LGOG just came I did the same thing to it as mine and my sisters LGOG. In conclusion is every stock LGOG will get T-mobile LTE. I have a family plan me and my sister have everything unlimited but my mom only has 2.5 gb of data. I placed her sim card in to her new LGOG and it only got 4G HSPA+ while my phone had LTE. So I switched the sims and my phone only got HSPA+ while my moms LGOG was getting LTE. Both LGOG could connect to LTE but it depended on what sim card has inserted. I am not sure if this is correct but from what i observed it may be the case. So the question is... Is it the sim card it self or the DATA plan?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] neuroh:
SIM unlock

Do you have sim unlock it?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shitting:
I think it's most likely the SIM, someone from another forum told me that even the $5 preferred web2go plan works with LTE. My sim is old from 2009, so I just ordered a new one from T-mobile today. And in some area of LA has LTE now, so I should be able to test once I get the new sim. will report back.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] pieman13:
new optimus g t mobile user here. What is the best combo you guys have found rom/ radio/ kernel wise for a strong signal?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intheb0x:
All depends on your area.

I stick between two radios mainly . the stock JB att radio and the Nexus 4 radio .48

Keep in mind us Optimus g users can flash any nexus 4 radios without issue.

I play and see what works best, they claim the 48 radio is great for tmo, I honestly think the stock jb and 48 are the same.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] New Optimus:
Yes that is how the network works when idle it will drop to UMTS when needed it picks up HSPA on my nexus 4 it shows 3g icon when idle and goes H when in use.

When you flash the nexus modem can you pick up AWS BAND 4 WCDMA for true DC HSPA + I thought the optimus G was excluded by hardware.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intheb0x:
I'll try, but I don't think so, but since the Optimus g e970 and nexus are so similar we can use almost the same things, including a complete conversion to use nexus roms, I'm sure you are aware of that.

But I've been using nexus radios for a little while without issue, in fact it states in our radio thread the Nexus radios (mako, etc) we share.

I guess you nexus users can use our radios as well.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Edge because our phone is missing certain bands, honestly I'm not sure how it works I get 4g in certain areas but most areas are edge. I don't know if only some towers are "refarmed" or what.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

No go on that, it just says "fail" when I select the AWS band.

I got rid of my note 2 and I wish I didn't because they were able to "unlock" the AWS bands in that phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
Sounds like a slow refarm rollout.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intheb0x:
Lol very irritating to say the least...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] New Optimus:
The refarming project is to put hspa on the 1900 frequency which most gsm carriers, att, international etc. use for hspa. The one problem with using only one frequency, 1900 you dont get the benefit of DC so no hspa 42.

edge is on 1900 so when you leave a refarmed tower it will drop to edge for the other towers.

I understand what you mean about the note 2. software unlock and aws was available, looking into the same thing with the att s3.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intheb0x:
I also heard that the refarming was for iPhone users, so they could have something other than edge before the tmobile version came out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] New Optimus:
yes mainly to get all those iphone users to switch but really any att phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intheb0x:
I just wish that they had more refarmed towers and less edge lol 80% of the time I'm on edge. I guess I'm getting used to it, anywhere I can find a time table or hints/leaks on tmobile lte updates? I know that Milwaukee used to be a "test market" here but for whatever reason why have fallen off the map. I looked on sensorly but nothing around, IL has lots but lonely Wisconsin is bone dry lol

I guess I'll put up with it but I just dropped another 10 dollars on mins and they are almost gone lol.

It seems to me I'm more into voice than data, since the edge I so slow it may be a better bet to switch to a higher min plan with unlimited text and less data, the tmobile mvno ultra mobile is 19 a month unlimited text, 250 min talk, 50mb data, I may try this when this plan expires on the 17th.

I got the sim already. Vonage works great at home on my wifi, so I'm covered there.

Maybe I'll switch back to tmobile when the lte is live..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
50MB? That'd be my daily use on a light day :\. I'm still enjoying the $30 100 minutes/unlimited text/5GB 4G/unlimited 2G plan.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intheb0x:
Just not enough mins for me, by the time it's all said and done, I'm better off using this optimus on the network it was meant for for better service, data and unlimited talk and text.

On the 30 dollars plan ended up being 50 for me and I still ran out of mins lol, I'm just better off with the att prepaid lte unlimited talk text and 2.5gb of day for 60. Or straight talk or whatever just something with unlimited talk and text.

Right now I'm going between 2 sims, the red pocket for talking and the tmo for data, kinda like pain in the ass.

Now once tmobile gets it lte here and towers in order it will be worth it because I'll be able to use Vonage, skype groove ip etc because the data will be great for voip calls.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] deroux71:

So, just to clarify the E970 support with T-Mobile... It's basically the same as the iPhone 5, where it'll get LTE, "4G" in refarmed areas, and EDGE everywhere else?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
Yes but its not that bad
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
And I'm assuming Wi-Fi calling can't be added to these?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
TMobile voice signal is not bad. The data is bad in some areas.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
Does the E970 constantly tower switch, even if not moving? When I was testing T-Mobile on my iPhone 5, the signal would constantly fluctuate, even when not even touching the phone, running down battery life like crazy, since it looked like it would constantly switch between two or three of the available nearby towers. Hoping it's a baseband/radio/modem thing and not just the way the network works. My iPhone 5 on AT&T never did anything like that.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Anthony1117:
So I could use some help. I know T-Mobile LTE is available on my area. Yet with this optimus g I am unable go access it. I went to the store and they swapped my sim because I've read that that can hell but I a. Still unable to access it. Is there anything else I can do to try and get it. I flashed a new radio and still nothing. Any help would be awesome.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ejvyas:
What was your test case for LTE speed?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Anthony1117:
My friend who is my neighbor has LTE on his phone and the same plan. Also when I went to the store the man who swaped Sims for me told me that LTE is available
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Anthony1117:
So this is getting extremely frustrating that I can not get LTE working. Does anybody have any Tips or something to try. And radios I could flash that could help get LTE working. I'll try anything
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whatsitsnamenow:
Try to set your apn to "fast.t-mobile.com" (Google it for exact settings). Then go to network settings/choose network manually. After a search the Lte T-Mobile network should be available as an option. Select it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 643121:
I have the APN settings correct and verified by T-Mobile support, however I'm still unable to get LTE no matter which ROM or radio I try to flash on my phone. Does anyone have a step-by-step guide to fixing this?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] besweeet:
Just to confirm, there's no way to enable the AWS HSPA+ bands on the E970, right? Instead, it'll just support LTE/refarmed HSPA+/EDGE/GPRS?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ceyo14:
Is it safe to asume that if there is no reformed signal that there won't be LTE either?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
I literally just got this phone and unlocked out for tmobile. Out of the gate i used epc.tmobile.com and it was on lte. 30mb down and lte symbol. I went to my friends and lte nowhere to be found again. I'm still at work but quick research shows this has been an issue.
