Lost LTE bands by flashing RM892 into RM893

[Luiskp]

Hi guys,

Im a little concern because, I flashed a RM892 firmware into my RM893 to get Cyan.

With that I lost the LTE band 4 support that I had before, and in the field test appeared ONLY the LTE bands (1,3,7...) of RM892.

Now i flashed back to two different RM893 firmwares (including the Tmo) and neither of them now allows me to get back my LTE Band 4, and in the field test appears again only the LTE bands of RM892.

:crying: Any idea or help?

And here is why we should be waiting until Cyan is officially released for our handsets.

I would flash whatever your original firmware was back onto it and see how you go.

My original Firmware was Tmo.

See if you can get WP8 GDR3 or lower back on your phone then wait for the official update. [Fingers Crossed]

Indeed.. nokia retail software update tool might help - definitely puts you back to 8.0 GDR3 (fingers crossed it works of course).

I think by flashing trough NCS, its the same result that the recovery tool... i guess?

I will try this evening everything from hard reset, recovery tool and whatever comes to my mind.

I know people will say that there is no problem to stay with H+ but If there is LTE, with not using it.

Ok, so after flashing 3 more firmware RM893, its imposible to get back the LTE bands nene

Decided to stay few weeks with H+, but now will sell cellphone.

I lost my LTE bands from doing the same thing and I feel like an *****. There has to be some way to fix this. I don't believe that flashing another firmware can permanently disable something as important as a phone's LTE radio (or at least certain frequencies).

Couldn't you just flash back the original firmware and just claim warranty for the phone? Seems like the only way the fix it.

Please, Please, Please...

Advise potential buyers how you borked the radio and offer them a deep discount.

I could do that, but I just got my phone back because I had to get the microphone fixed, and I don't want to go another two weeks without my phone.

I killed my LTE the same way. Very surprising that this would happen. I just read that a 930.2 is coming out. I guess I'll upgrade after all. Lesson learned on flashing to a different device code (even though it makes no sense how simply flashing back would do no good)

May I ask if flashing the phone with another firmware revision will fix the IMEI block on a T mobile phone I won on ebay that I planned on using in Canada on my provider here? And if so is it hard to do or a tutorial link of some sort - sorry not meaning side track the threads intention
