Alright ladies and gents, after not following instructions and activating my Note 4 (with a MM rom ported from another device) which seemed to have TMobile info on it I was locked to 3G.
Didn't matter what modem, or any flashes even to stock firmware, it was locked.
Don't go buy a new SIM!
Just open chat with Verizon and tell them the basics. They don't like you calling on the broken device even if your data works like mine.
"Hi my name is X X and I am stuck on 3G.
It's been like this the past few days. I've followed online instructions to reset the device to factory and even tried updating however 3G remains.
My data is not limited in the settings, is below my data cap and MMS/Phonecalls plus internet work fine. Just no LTE/4G service.
The sim is less than a year old."
At this point they'll likely suggest going to get a new one, at cost to you.
I disagree. Try this;
"My wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/friend had this issue when we changed states, the support agent we spoke with online said they would "reprovision" I believe the sim or phone and after rebooting the device the data came back."
They'll more than likely try it, and after following their instructions - double check your data settings.
Make sure your APN is correct as well as network mode. Global is usually okay but I stick with LTE/WCDMA.
This is not a fix for every phone, just my diapproval with having to pay for a new sim in store or pay a silly 10$+ charge online to ship a "free" sim to me when a free fix is just as good and immediate. This is just a recount of my actions.
Hope this helps someone!
