Optimus g nexus 4 radio - AT&T LG Optimus G

I know I've read everywhere to not flash a different radio to a phone it doesn't belong to but I'm running my optimus on Tmobile and I get a ton of signal issues and I was wondering how bad it would mess the phone up if I flashed the nexus 4 radio to it since they're pretty much the same phone. Thanks for any feedback guys.

Try the .48 radio. It's supposedly good to T-Mobile.

We won't know until there are roms for the nexus and until the optimus boot loader is unlocked.

Wouldn't there need to be the addition of LTE connection code for the models with that capability? Seems like its not completely straight forward, but also not as extensive as the modifications that were required for some devices in the past.
The bootloader is a huge issue. From reading other LG blogs, LG doesn't unlock them and finding a work around hasn't been easy.

There's a chance we could use the Nexus Bootloader. It is risky though and could result in a brick. But yeah, there will need to be some LTE code.

While I'd be fine with HSPA+ as the top end data connection, I'd still like to have LTE, if these brilliant minds can add it in :silly: I'm guessing that if they can figure out the bootloader, then we can have what ever our devices will support.
Bootloader is unlocked, only a matter of time before devs start porting over roms from the nexus 4

[Q] Does Anyone have T-Mobile ROM?

Flashed my T-Mobile HTC One to AR6.1, but miss Wifi Calling. Does anyone have it yet and can upload it?
you could load rom from international htc one?

There is no WiFi calling on International One roms.
but could you flash them roms? or it'll brick your phone?

Yes. People on AT&T have flashed international roms no problems and it looks like the same for T-Mobile.
Does anyone know if you can flash a ROM from another network being that the phones are virtually identical with the exception of the radios. I am coming from Sprint and loved ViperRom but sadly he is staying with Sprint. I wonder if it would work or would I be looking at a brick if I tried.
It'll brick your phone hard. I came from the evo 4G lte. Viper roms were great but until he comes over or someone ports his roms we're out of luck.
Though a good thing is deck had already moved over to the one so cm10.1 shouldn't be too far away

oh **** i thought you were talking about flashing a viper rom on the ONE haha.
why would you want the international version of the rom on tmobile? bloat? i already got rid of my bloat with TI backup and i get to keep my wifi calling so i dont see that need for that.. sorry not trying to be mean just wondering..

I guess more customization. I want to change the button presses from tap to go home to bring up menu hold to take me home and leave double tap on for recent.. I know it's possible..

hm let me know how the roms on the international side go. i've browsed through them and most of them just look like they have some small minor stuff but nothing crazy.

Unless it is AOSP based roms all of them will be similar with few tweaks and options. The main advantage is having the latest ruu since carriers take forever.

T-Mobile ROMs

It looks like there aren't any ROMs based on the T-Mobile formware on any of the forums. Are y'all getting the same data speeds on the international ROMs? Is there a tmobile radio to flash?
You should be able to flash any in the HTC One Forum. Our device is the M7 so you should have no issues. Only problems some people have been seeing is from ATT so far with roms that don't have the proper RIl files and this is believed to cause the radio to switch from E, H, and LTE chronically.

thanks, i wasnt sure if our device was M7 or not.
stupid question, but does flashing the roms on the international one forum **** up the radio?
Only if the ROM includes the radio. As far as I know, no one is including radios in their ROM's. I would personally hold off flashing any radio until we get a flashable zip, RUU, or other means to go back to the shipped radio. Some users are having issues with the WWE radio on Tmobile and ATT. Some may think it's just the rill files too.

Yah that's the one bummer about non T-Mobile ROMs. It's impossible to get WiFi calling working. Has to be a T-Mobile based ROM.

It's the same thing after you unlock the boot loader and have a custom recovery
The only thing is you have to flash the kernel manually

I mean, the "you can sort of unlock the bootloader but you can't have S-OFF" is obnoxious but it isn't any easier to bring your phone--if anything, the limitations placed on operations done in recovery make it harder to actually brick your phone since the boot and recovery images are normally flashed in fastboot.
But yeah, Nexus phones are much kinder to tinkerers. News at 11.

Yeah, that's what I did too. Only mildly sad to give up wifi calling; I never go over on minutes anyway.
Can't wait until there's T-mo specific roms. I get absolutely crap reception in my apartment and NO reception at work, so i desperately need wifi calling.
What we need is a good all around android dev /Rom chef to dedicate there time to our branded HTC one.
I hope Roms aren't gonna be generic forever leaving us with partially set up Roms/ having to flash radios constantly and whatnot !Never knowing what's compatible and what's not .
If that's the case I foresee a lot of angry people and jtag sales in the future .
I'd give it a month or two before we have a few 2-4 dedicated tmo HTC one roms 100% ready to flash and go just for us only .

[Q] Data only working in reframed areas

As the title states, my data is not working in areas that are not reframed. It will default to 2g or g in these areas where it was originally hspa+. This came after installing ARHD from the international htc one forums. I tried flashing other ROMS after and even restoring my nandroid from stock but that did not fix the problem. If anyone knows a fix to this it would help me a lot because most of where I live is not reframed.
That is very scary. Sad news, sorry to hear OP

You know, you might go ahead and try flashing the TMO radio from that thread. Since your model is TMO, it might work.

TMO HTC One converted to GPe, LTE question

hello,
I converted my tmobile htc one into a google play edition a few days ago and for the most part i have no complaints. however, a few days ago i noticed that i wasnt able to pick up an lte signal. I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm on the southern california area(riverside) is the lte down or something. it was working perfectly a few days after i converted my one to the GPe so i don't think this could be a problem. I was thinking of running an RUU back to stock to try and see but i dont know what to do. Any ideas??
Do you still have the T-Mobile radio, or is it now switched to the GP radio firmware?

I'm on that same radio and my LTE works.

did you convert your htc one to a GPe? i have done everything but a reset which i might do. it also might be the signal might be down in my area. i had this problem happen before earlier in the year with my note 2 i didn't have lte yet but i didn't have any hspa service for two days so it could be that but since i converted my one i hope its not something hardware related
Good question. Though I'd give a t-mo radio flash a try. It's easy enough to flash back.

yeah i suppose so. as of the moment i'm not rooted or anything. I'm however still S-OFF. Would I have to install a custom recovery and then flash the tmobile radio?
You should be able to fast boot it. I'd look for a good guide in the HTC One international forums.
I'm rooted w custom recovery, so it's a bit easier for me.

alright i will attempt this later tonight. thanks for the help and i will update with whatever happens.
Update: So i just went to Target which is about 6 miles from my house and I got LTE just fine so maybe it might be just a tower by my area that isn't working. I might just wait this out then idk i might flash the radio and see what happens
