I firstly want to say that this is not my work, i am just sharing a patch that always works for my LS990 with any rom i've flashed on it. Credits goes to mentor (he published it in this site). I see many people asking for GSM enabled custom roms for ls990 and maybe this can be helpful for them.
This patch will just change some properties of the build.prop file in order to enable sim detection and GSM capabilities (for more info you can visit the previous link).
I've used it with Blisspop, CM 12 & 12.1, Dirty Unicorns, CloudyG3 and others Lollipop based roms out there (i can't remember all of them) in GSM networks outside U.S.
Today i flashed 6.0.1 Marshmallow of Resurrection Remix (link to the rom here) and after flashing the patch everything is working just fine.
Despite whatsapp notifications , here some captures of my phone running RR 6.0.1 on GSM network Claro:

Before flashing to BareCee ZVC, I specifically asked questions about GSM working. At least one user confirmed to me that GSM worked fine for him on BareCee ZVC, without mentioning the need for any additional modifications.
I haven't tried it yet, as I am heading to Japan next month, which is where I connect to Softbank's GSM network. What I did notice when I first flashed BareCee V2 is that the GSM option was not visible. In order to reveal GSM as an option, you must first be sure that both "international Voice Roaming" and "International Data Roaming" are checked under the "Roaming" menu settings. Once those are checked, you can go back under More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode... and you will now see the option for GSM/UTMS at the bottom of the list.
While that option is now visible and accessible, what I do not know is whether or not it will actually work, without any modification. However, just in case you're not actually seeing the GSM/UTMS setting, I thought I'd pass this info along.
Good Luck!

We you able to get GSM working? If so, did you need the mod here or did you simply use the instructions I provided above to reveal the GSM option?
not quite yet, went back to cloudy, since this was a friends phone , didnt get to play around much as he didnt have a phone for work. but having a look at the script, i believe some settings in the build.prop is incorrect causing these issues, need to compare with the one in cloudy , there maybe other dependancies, but havent had the time to check
It work but I cannot configure APN

IT WORKED! Thanks! but I want to set up my APN but when I try to set it up I got a Msg saying :APN setting are no available for this user"
Just to make sure I understand, this does not add LTE functionality, correct? Those bands are just absent from this model?
Thank you , its working , but I have a problem, can't switch between 2g and 3g from the settings , when switching it just mentions than it's 2g but when activating data it's on 3g, I don't know if I must add or modify some lines from build.prop.
I did not try this patch but i did edit my build prop from SPNT (or what ever) to OPEN and also got that unusable phone with non stop pop ups. This discourages me from trying this but would like to know if it works on Sprint LG G3 LS990 ZVC

Thanx a lot!!! This was what I was dying for months and i finally got it!! LG G3 LS990 with candy six rom 6.0.1... From Nepal. Just flashed and is running smooth till now. very happy. thanx again.
Anyone has tried this on LG Gstylo ls770 from boost?

Modem fatal error when I insert a sim - AS990 flashed to LS990
I am trying to determine where i have gone wrong in my process of converting an AS990 to LS990 and then use it on GSM service. I followedd the procedure posted on XDA by BakedTater, and everything looked to work correct until i attempted to take it further for use with GSM. i am trying to apply the CDMA to GSM patch and then use the phone with Tmobile or ATT service.
i did not locate the line in the build property to edit ro.build.target_operator=SPR to GLOBAL or spr etc, so is this the cause? I have tried the CDMA to GSM zip for Sprint LS990, as well as the zip for generic global gsm phones. Everything appears to be working fine, UNTIL i put in a GSM sim and then i receive the following error. Is this due to the wrong modem or maybe this phone needs more things updated to support GSM? I have flashed all available LS990 modems, as well as an original AS990 modem, with no real change. The phone did show it connected to tmobile service briefly before the latest crash detailed below.

Hi, I'm using CM10.1 M-series and nightlies 2 month ago.
Today my phone does not read the network, no signal or emergency call only: No sends nor recibes sms, calls, none of the phone works :/
I can get some of signal if the Wifi is turned on but no network works
I tryed to back to stock 4.1.2 ROM with no solutions :/ The SIM chip work like a charm in my old Nokia 1616
After several Stock Flashes with Odin, the network become randomly connected but if I flash CM10 or CM10.1 no network works and I need to flash the Stock rom again, wipe dalvik, data, cache and every that I can to get it working.
I don't want use the Stock Firmware, is too ugly and slow.
The worst is that I followed the ugly CM's wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100g
and I incremented the binary count of my phone with the sucking heimdall and does not booted
From the first time (and now) I'm using su-bb-installer and blazing CMW installing his from Recovery to flash CM Rom.
Anyone could help me? Thanks and sorry for my ugly english
After touch and touch, I have see the wrong setting on Mobile networks > Network mode: WCDMA was seleced; Now I switched to GSM/WCDMA Auto and works fine in Stock Rom!!!
I don't know if this has been changed in my CM rom, but CM ROM "allá voy"
seems to be solved!

Hi Gastonnw, yes, I have the "Mobile Settings" but I don't have and item like in the stock rom for GSM/WCDMA.
This settings is saved in the SIM card? Using the stock rom I switched from WCDMA (when my network did not work) to GSM/WCDMA (auto) and two minutes later, the network started to work perfectly.
Now in CM the network works perfectly. And the big question: What "I did" to loose this setting yesterday when my network went gone?
Thanks!
No, it's a device's setting.
What you did was going back to stock (which means default settings) and by setting the 3g setup, CM would recognize it as default.
PS: I honestly don't know why you had that problem, what I've stated above sounds pretty good tho.

Do you know why I can't set the GSM or WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA Auto from CyanogenMod?? This is related with the absence of "SIM Toolkit" app in my rom?

And the response is:
1. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Phone Information
3. Change Within your networktype
By default android selects WCDMA Preferred, in my case I need to set to GSM/CDMA (Auto) and the phone works like a charango
Note: Every time that enter to this screen, WCDMA Preferred will be setted
With this I can mark as solved this trhead, thanks!

Hey,
Same issue with mine.. I had a F180L and i converted it by flashing with E975 European international,..where my indian Sim was not reading any network at all and then with CyanogenMod 10.1 i flashed again and my local networks were reading in my phone even though my the signal was weak.. then later on i downloaded the exact modem firmware for my phone and the signal strength became good. But my signal is not getting registered in the phone ( the sim is working fine in all other phones). So i was looking forward for a solution in how to make this work as i love this custom Rom... Moreover, please let me know how to flash the custom firmware. From where can i get the custom firmware. I think i have downloaded the custom firmware for F180L and its going back again to U+ sim locked condition where i am unable to use my phone in india. if u have any Rom for F180L for India, please let me know as i am desperate to use this phone... its been two weeks since i am struggling to make this phone working in india.. Guys Many thanks in advance
Cheers

Hello Guys, This is my first time Posting a Thread but this one is quite interesting.
Everyone knows that the HTC one Max from Sprint is Sadly Well Sim Locked, and the Verizon HTC one max is Unlocked straight from the factory due to FCC regulations. On Sprint devives, even when you put in the SIM Card, it won't ask for the Unlock Code. It says Invalid SIM and wont let you use it at all. But I have found the way to Sim Unlock the HTC One Max for Sprint. It's really almost the same way as on the HTC One but with a few more steps.
Step one is that you have to be Rooted. Now, I am not sure if you have to be S-OFF or S-ON but I am S-OFF so you might have to be S-OFF as well, but you guys can confirm that for me.
Next is you need the Following apps: Root Explorer, Sprint HTCOne SIMUnlock Helper. You Must install them before continuing. You can get these Apps from the Play Store.
After that, you need to download the HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk File (I have attached the modded file in this Post). This file is the file that needs to be replaced from the one in your /system/app Directory. You need to Remove the HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk file first (Or Rename it) before you place the modded one in there. Once done, MAKE SURE that your permissions are set to rw-r-r and reboot. If you don't set the permissions right, it WILL not work.
After you replace the File, You are going to use the SIM Unlock Helper app next. After you select the app, it might say "Device Check Fail" in Big Red Letters. It might also say, "This Device is not a Sprint HTC One! Therefor, this Program will not run". This is ok. What you want to do is click the 3 Menu Dots on the Upper Right hand side and Select "Display SIM Unlock Log". It might ask you for Permissions. Make sure to Grant them. After that it will say "SIM Unlock Log". There shouldn't be anything there. Now hit the back button and now it should say Device Verified, Root Available etc. etc.
Next is you want to tap Start. If everything goes well, within seconds you should be in the OMADM Test Client. Scroll all the way down to the end and tap the selection SIMLOCK. The phone will freeze a couple of seconds and then return to normal. Once done tap the back button and the SIM Unlock Helper should show SIM Unlock Results. If it says Successful, reboot the phone (Although tapping Reboot might not work from the app itself)
Once Rebooted, Insert your SIM Card of your GSM Carrier and go to your Settings> Mobile Data> Network Mode. Once you tap that, Tap GSM/UTMS Only. If successful your phone will switch from Sprint to the GSM carrier. All there is next is to setup your APN settings to be able to receive the carriers data services.
PLEASE NOTE!!! That you won't receive HSPA+ (4G LTE) Data, but you will only receive the 14.4Mbps HSPA Speeds. Talk, Text, and Data should work with no issues.
Please Confirm that it works. I will be posting some pics up later of the process.
Credit also goes to chas123, he's the one who hacked HtcOMADM_SPCS (which is also used in Sprint HTC One SIM Unlock Helper) making it possible to unlock!
Also, for those who are having a vdm error. Replacing the original apk after unlocking fixes it. For those that flashed the ruu maybe replacing that apk will help also.
Has anyone else with a Sprint version accomplished this successfully?
Confirm worked

What kind of speeds are you getting on T-Mobile?
3G or 4G?
did you lose any functionality, like wifi N/AC, or anything else involving the radio?
thanks!
I have been getting upto 14.4 Mbps Download and around 3-4 Mbps Upload on T-Mobile which is Standard HSDPA/HSUPA speeds. I have to Test AT&T next

didn't work for me. I''m S-OFF, set all permissions correctly. after pressing START button or even thru Terminal Emulator I get the same message that "OMADM application been unexpectedly stopped" Any thought?
What Rom are you using? I am using SkyDragon Max v 2.0

Didn't work for me either on stock rom, but worked after I flashed SkyDragon..
The Rom I used to perform the SIM Unlock was SkyDragon Max v. 2.0 Sprint. So you might have to be on this Rom to work.
ALSO, you MUST be on a Deodexed Rom for it to work. The Odexed roms wont work since the file you are editing is only in Deodexed form and doesn't contain the .Odex file.
Probably had to be on a Deodexed rom.
Just caught in another forum that network unlocking your sprint Max (taken from directions for sprint One) causes that vdm error. Replacing the original apk after unlocking fixes it. For those that flashed the ruu maybe replacing that apk will help also.
*you probably want to note this in the OP

The same happened to me, try the process a couple of times and even reflash ROMS, every time the SIM unlock helper show success but it didn't worked. I read multiple times the forums and when I was about to quit, decide to try another time but instead of uploading the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk file from my MAC, decided to do a direct download from the phone and finally I it works!!!!!
Now I want to go back to my nexus 5, I am not sure I am going to keep this phone (for now I already remove the notebook case, its really complicated to use with it..)
I thought AT&T had been migrating their UMTS services to 850 Mhz? You might find yourself not getting 3G with AT&T just as you would with T-Mobile, since only 1900 Mhz is usable on this Sprint version.
If you want to use this in Mexico, Telcel only uses 850 for 3G, so you will only get EDGE. Movistar and Iusacell use 850 and 1900, and depending on the region, there will be no 3G services (if the region uses 850 vs 1900)
I know I can get 14.4Mbps on T-Mobiles Internet which isn't terrible but isn't bad either. Hopefully the next Gen HTC one max will be better.

After I do the unlock. Can i flash any rom I want afterwards?
Hello,
Are there any users with Redmi note 3 Pro / Snapdragon version that have issues like no 4G or LTE connectivity while using sim1?
this has worked for me when I first bought the phone.
I unlocked the bootloader - unofficial version, installed twrp, tried to flash a rom, bricked my deice, than I managed to flash 7.2.3 global stable official rom - my bootloader was relocked, but sim1 could no more connect on 4g network.
while searching for it manually I can see it, but when i click it to connect, it just registers on 3g network.
since than I have tried to reset the device, full erase, no luck.
I installed global developer rom - with locked bootloader - no luck
I received a code to unlock bootloader, i Unlocked it, but still no 4g connection on sim1.
Any idea what could be wrong?
P.S.
If I put the same SIM in slot 2, 4g connects with no issues, but I want to use that slot for the Microsd card.
And I kind of found the culprit.
The phone that is sold in many countries comes with customized miui 7.1.9.0.0 (note the extra 0) and on this rom version 4g works on sim 1, on global versions it does not.
And now I am searching for a customized rom that can't be found anywhere.
Well I had the same version 7.1.9.0.0 (the unofficial multilanguage) when I got the phone, but I have not activated the 4G on my providers. In the mean time this rom had many issues (didn't recognise the second sim etc) so I flashed with EDL and MiFlash the original Global rom (7.1.7.0) and was ΟΤΑ updated to 7.1.8.0 . Since then I have no 4g on SIM1 but it works fine in slot2
I then got permission to unlock bootloader and unlocked it by flashing the official Chinese Dev 6.3.31.
Someone on the official site reported that the baseband of the AOSP and/or 7.1.7.0 solves the problem if you flash it manually via fastboot... I tried all the following basebands but no luck either.
- AOSP rom baseband (A.2.0.c1.1-00005-8976_GEN-PACK-1)
- Stable 7.1.7.0 rom baseband (A.2.0.c1.1-00019-8976_GEN-PACK-1)
- Stable 7.2.2.0 / 7.2.3.0 rom baseband (1-00019-8976_GEN_PAC K-1.49420.2 .)
Now I have the Greek Stable 7.2.2.0 (based in the Chinese Stable and made by the official fan site in Greece Xiaomi-Hellas) and yet no 4G.
It has been reported as a bug on the official site and as they say the developers are looking to solve it within the next updates..
Hi Project_P we meet again! heh
OP: if you don't need dual sim, try adding a dummy sim on slot 1 and turn it off and keep your normal sim in slot 2. That fixed the issue for me (obviously not ideal if you need dual sim OR if you need to expand storage).

That is the trick, I want to be able to use the microsd slot also. I am thinking of stripping a sim card and glue it to a microsd card as per the many tutorials out there.
Have you tried changing the cellular network type to "LTE" or similar?
I managed to regain 4g by doing this

I have tried to select it manually, but as soon as i click it, it just connects to 3g network.
There are many people who have this issue on en.miui.com/ thread-265011-1-1.html (correct the link) including me.
I came from a modified ROM 7.1.99.99 by the seller and I flash Miui (7.1.8.0) without unlocking the boatloader. Result: No LTE.
I flash the 6.3.31 the same way. No LTE too.
I set preferred network type to LTE only and no signal.
I've 4g on SIM2 when I've two SIM cards and sometimes on SIM 1. It's not stable
Hello,
I am French and I also got my phone with the Rom 7.1.9.0.(0) and I also lost 4G on slot 1. Sometimes I can have it on slot 2 by putting a second SIM card slot 2, but it is very unstable and sometimes I lose it also on slot 2. I installed all the Rom that exists but the Chinese / English, but nothing has changed . Even forcing the preferred 4G, I stay in H / H +. It's hopeless, now I think selling it but I will lose money because the 4G does not work.
Up ! We need some help here

Hello,
Are there any users with Redmi note 3 Pro / Snapdragon version that have issues like no 4G or LTE connectivity while using sim1?
this has worked for me when I first bought the phone.
I unlocked the bootloader - unofficial version, installed twrp, tried to flash a rom, bricked my deice, than I managed to flash 7.2.3 global stable official rom - my bootloader was relocked, but sim1 could no more connect on 4g network.
while searching for it manually I can see it, but when i click it to connect, it just registers on 3g network.
since than I have tried to reset the device, full erase, no luck.
I installed global developer rom - with locked bootloader - no luck
I received a code to unlock bootloader, i Unlocked it, but still no 4g connection on sim1.
Any idea what could be wrong?
P.S.
If I put the same SIM in slot 2, 4g connects with no issues, but I want to use that slot for the Microsd card.

Same problems here. Have to try changing to SIM2 slot and will report back. Weird bug.
edit: Better late than never. SIM2 only supports Nano from what I can tell. Couldn't switch since I'm on Micro. Will have to try with another SIM.
Same issue here. I lost 4g in sim slot 1 somewhere along the way through changing MIUI roms (Official/Dev/China etc) trying to unlock officially.
Until today with SIM1 slot Active, and SD Card inserted - No 4g anywhere.
Today I tried the hardware mod (sticking SIM to SD Card) - I now have 4G!

This is a method to get 4g working on SIM1 for a while. I got this info from XIaomi forums:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Put two simcard (micro & nano) that support 4G
3. Set data/internet to simcard 2
4. Eject your simcard tray without power off
5. Remove simcard 1 and put only simcard 2
6. Set LTE only on simcard 1 (using *#*#4636#*#* method)(dial that number, click phone information 1 and "Set preferred network type:" to LTE only)
7. Eject your simcard tray, and put simcard 1 again
8. Wait a few minute, if simcard 2 change to H+/3G
9. Switch data/internet to simcard 1
10. And ...... 4G/LTE work again using simcard 1.
11. After this you can eject the tray again without turning the phone off and swap SIM2 with microsd card.
I have the exact same situation as OP, even living in the same country. The thing is other users on the phone's softpedia section don't have this issue after flashing the 7.2.5.
I was hoping the 7.3.2. OTA would resolve this but there's no change.
My bug report was closed saying an update will come: http://en.miui.com/thread-280981-1-1.html.
Edit: I don't have a 2nd SIM to try that, nano-SIM too.

Whenever you can do the truck, do it. I also got the update to 7.3.2.0, but it is now back on 3g. I will do the mod again now.
A few have reported that a factory reset solved some issues.

I have the same issue with my handset too. even after update to 7.3.
Today I tested with only nano sim in slot 2 & it started finding 4G signals.
But slot 1 still work only for 2G & 3G
Hello,
I will repeat myself once, but I can confirm that if you received your phone with the Rom 7.1.9.0.0 dealer, it is because of her that we lost 4G on slot 1.
I really tried everything, even change the line build.prop but nothing has changed, still no 4G on slot 1.
Maybe if Xiaomi is an update of the Baseband, we can recover but this is not certain.

I know that, but still, it should work normal with international rom, because it uses the same modem as all redmi note 3 snapdragons out there.
Basically, Redmi Note 3 comes in 3 versions, two Chinese ones (One with MTK and one with SD650) and Global one(SD650). The Global version is the one that is sold in India, Taiwan, Singapore and part of Europe. The Chinese SD650 version, mostly sold in China, says it supports more bands than the Global one.
Chinese SD650 version LTE bands:
B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8
B38/B39/B40/B41(2555-2655MHz)
Global Sd650 version LTE bands:
B1/B3/B5/B7/B8
B38/B39/B40/B41(2555-2655MHz）
I bought the Chinese one as I need to have Band 4 to work with my USA carrier. It worked when i was in China, but same unfortunate thing happens the me when I came back to the States and wiped my phone to dev. I can't access 4g band 4 on Sim 1, 3g connection is bad on Sim1 too. Sim 2 works fine for two days and then the 4g downgrades to 3g and then 3g connection is on and off.
Hello everyone!!
I received my Redmi Note 3 Pro last week. Yesterday, I received Xiaomi message saying I had been allowed to unlock bootloader. I did it, I flashed TWEP and SuperSU.
I was trying to unlock the 800mhz LTE band, although I had LTE with the other banbds, with the tools QPST and QXDM. First of all, I did a backup with QPST, in software download. In QXDM, I edited 06828 line, following this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/unlock-lte-bands-step-step-xiaomi-mi-t3084774), and transforming my original number to make it has LTE 20 band, with an app of Play Store.
What I got is no LTE, when I put the original code, after reboot, it kept without LTE. I flashed miui.eu ROM, later Resurrection Remix and today, fastboot ROM V7.3.2 official with MiFlash, and there is no LTE anymore, except in RR, in which changing the mode from settings, it catched LTE (but no WiFi).
Therefore, I think I need the originao baseband to flash it trhough TWRP or whatever, to make the phone has LTE as it had.
Thanks!!
Regards!!

Showing.
-8976_GEN_PACK-1.54366.1.54508.1
With 2 SIMS, no LTE on any of them. With SIM2 LTE. With SIM1 no LTE.
I also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66889532&postcount=13 But not results at all. After putting another time SIM1, SIM2 gets LTE, but SIM1 doesn´t.
Thanks!!

Dont give up miguel! Are you sure your carrier has active band 20 in your area? I've unlocked extra bands and what I've found is with our note 3SD's we cant check the frequency that our phones are actually using to determine what band we have in our environments. The reading of the incoming frequency(number) isn't built into the software. There is that small disconnect between our roms and the hardware. Unlocking extra LTE bands work. I unlocked all possible extra LTE bands. The problem is I cant tell what bands the carrier I use is using by looking at my phone to see what band its connected on.
The best way to see if band 20 is working is use another phone that doesn't have the hardware to software disconnect. See if the device connected to lte band 20 and if you have connectivity. Then on the note 3 only enable band 20 LTE on line 6828 of sim0. I'm not sure what the value is for only band 20 LTE. Maybe someone can post it.
After you restart the phone, switch the sim to slot 2, go to cellular networks in settings and connect manually to your 4g network. After it connects and before it gets data, pop sim out while phone is on and put the card in sim0 slot. let it load for a few min, and if you don't see anything after like 3 min go to cellular networks and see if you can select the local 4g network that you know works and on band 20. If it cant see the network or doesn't automatically connect then band 20 wont make it past the phone bandpass filter.
A bandpass filter is the only thing that stands between us and being able to receive all frequency of signal: https://www.google.com/search?q=bandpass+filter&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
If the filter is infact the reason our unlocking full bands doesn't work then I need someone to link a bandpass filter from ebay that will allow the extra lte bands and write a short tutorial on how to solder in the new filter.
I think unlocking bands the way the hardware currently is already works. I'm not in a location to be able to test my successful lte bands unlock until next month when I'll be on AT&T.
Good luck and please PM me any new information on nv memory hacking on redmi note 3's. I am very interested.
Any progress? I can't test Band 20 because my provider doesn't support it.

check link in first topic above, there is manual how to unlock B20 band and in step 2 use that commands instead dialers code (you see nothing on phone, just your phone opens port in device manager in PC). I have tried unlock B20 but without success and now I dont have any LTE
I am on AOSP 5.1.1

when the phone is booted up go to developer options, turn on usb debugging. Go to notification bar, turn off MTP mode. The phone should say, connected as installer. Then you go to your adb folder and open a command prompt and put in the three commands, one at a time.

i tried what you have posted, but still nothing happens, no ports tab on the device manager
i found the error, i typed usbconfig instead of usb.config
done editing,, is there an app where i can see if the bands are added??
or just by enabling the data to check for lte?
although i think it worked.. before no reception on some part of our house
now i got signal on those areas.
i researched all the lte band provided by the network(both sims)
i come from
11110000000000000000000000000000011011111
to

Sorry for late reply friend. I first tried to just enable the LTE 20 band, disbaling the rest, but no result, I would try that hardware hack, but I will have to change to MIUI 7 once a time more.
I will give u more news soon!!!

i ran into trouble with this. the firmware you have and lineage your using is now outdated but i tried with both your version and the updated ones and 18.x version of lineage does seem to detect my sim card and the new one lineage 19 detects it but i get the error from verizon that my phone cant be authenticated for calls but everything else works. i notice when im running updated stock, the sim card reads fine and service works normally but before when i had it running older stock firmware (android 10) i got the same thing. everything would work but calls. then when i updated the stock firmware, everything worked. so im not sure what im missing here when trying to follow your direction for getting this installed but maybe you know whats going on since your a verizon user using the global variant. please write me back when you get this. thanks a bunch

Well I only had the phone as a test for getting mmWave 5G on the global variant, which isn't possible due to a proprietary solder pattern on the board, but I no longer use this phone.
What I would recommend for you is to flash the NON-HLOS.bin from the stock firmware that worked for you without a problem. It's the modem firmware and it could cause problems like that. I didn't have any issue with my sim card, calls worked fine over CDMA and I could get text messages and LTE data worked.
I have never even seen the error that says the phone can't be authenticated for calls. Is it coming from a verizon app or is it an android error? I would also suggest to make sure the correct APN is being used, should be VZWINTERNET. I had an issue with an older motorola where it would for some reason randomly switch to some other VZW APN that was wrong.
I didn't do thorough testing of this, I just wanted to get the baseline for getting custom roms running, but I didn't encounter anything like what you're going through. Considering you had this problem on a certain stock firmware version, my best guess is the modem firmware. I did flash the VZW firmware on the phone and that worked as well, maybe you should try flashing that modem firmware? I didn't have issues, but I can't 100% recommend it because VZW expects the QTM 5G modules to be present, which it isn't. I don't know if this could cause hardware issues. Other than that, the phones are 100% identical.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, XDA's "stay logged in" checkbox does not seem to work correctly and this website is a hassle to navigate.

What I would recommend for you is to flash the NON-HLOS.bin from the stock firmware that worked for you without a problem. It's the modem firmware and it could cause problems like that. I didn't have any issue with my sim card, calls worked fine over CDMA and I could get text messages and LTE data worked.
I have never even seen the error that says the phone can't be authenticated for calls. Is it coming from a verizon app or is it an android error? I would also suggest to make sure the correct APN is being used, should be VZWINTERNET. I had an issue with an older motorola where it would for some reason randomly switch to some other VZW APN that was wrong.
I didn't do thorough testing of this, I just wanted to get the baseline for getting custom roms running, but I didn't encounter anything like what you're going through. Considering you had this problem on a certain stock firmware version, my best guess is the modem firmware. I did flash the VZW firmware on the phone and that worked as well, maybe you should try flashing that modem firmware? I didn't have issues, but I can't 100% recommend it because VZW expects the QTM 5G modules to be present, which it isn't. I don't know if this could cause hardware issues. Other than that, the phones are 100% identical.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, XDA's "stay logged in" checkbox does not seem to work correctly and this website is a hassle to navigate.

I'll try flashing the Verizon modem when I can. Recently, my service randomly died and I turned on airplane mode to restore service but the unable to authenticate for calls happened again when it worked fine before. I had to restart the phone to get calls working again. No idea what it was about. As for the apn, I was going to transfer the apn over from my s21 plus but it seems the verizon sim already sets the apn automatically to where it's not able to be changed. It's all greyed out. I noticed that I also got the unable to authenticate for calls before I updated the firmware. I bought the phone used and it was behind in updates. When I updated to the second most recent update, I noticed calls started to work. I haven't updated to latest since installing magisk with root broke the Ota update. I could update with a pc easy but I haven't since the things listed here are now out of date so trying to stay with the firmwares listed here. Lastly for 5G, i checked the bands the phone supports before buying it and I believe it matched one or two bands with 5G and I do get 5G in few areas. It also supports most LTE bands that Verizon gives. I didn't see any cdma support, only GSM but from my understanding GSM and CDMA is an older thing when it came to 2g or 3g. What I've gathered is if voice can be done through LTE then calls would work. So just a tip on the testing and things I've come across so far
I just noticed in the thread that voice over LTE doesnt work. I wonder if that's my issue? However I see CDMA voice is working so says the thread here. It's confusing at this point

Ok I remember now when I was trying to enable VoLTE the calls just wouldn't work. I didn't get an error though. You have to turn off VoLTE for it to work again. This is in Settings/Network & Internet/Mobile Network/Advanced Calling.
The developer of the lineageos gsi was aware of this issue and tried to fix it but I guess it only applies to whatever phone he was testing with.
As long as the APN says VZWINTERNET you should be fine. Trying to flash over another APN isn't worth the effort and can cause more problems than it could fix, the values are correct as long as the right APN is being selected.
CDMA is Verizons standard calling radio technology, was also used by Sprint. CDMA is being phased out though to be replaced by LTE entirely. I don't know when this will happen. If you check the GSMArena link in the first post you will see all the bands listed on this phone, and it does support CDMA, which is why calling works without VoLTE.
Considering you were having problems on the stock firmware, it seems like your issue is more than just VoLTE not working, because what you explained is not a typical issue, and no matter what stock firmware you were on, VoLTE and CDMA calling both should've worked out of the box. I would test to make sure your Verizon account even has VoLTE support first because that seems to be the only reason for error messages popping up like you had. Although this doesn't really matter though because this method does not support VoLTE from what I tested.

Well I will do more testing here shortly. I noticed that on lineage 18.x (Android 11) I get a missing Sim card error when a Sim card is present. Then with latest lineage 19, I get no sim error except the calling authentication error. I have Verizon firmware with the modem now so I'll try testing lineage again with the Verizon modem to see how it plays out.
UPDATE: i tried both lineage 18.x and 19 that have android 11 and 12 in them. still have the same result of phone not able to be authenticated even after flashing verizon modem. ive even tried other gsi roms and ether ended in a bootloop or an error saying petition was too small. it seems that the apn for verizon becomes greyed out and changes the apn settings itself from the sim card. ive even tried using the latest stock update with the gsi and same results. (had to pay a site for the firmware since the newest update is exclusive?) at this point, ive decided using a gsi on this phone with verizon service a bust. so ive decided to stick with stock with root and magisk.
on a side note, i noticed the newer updates have provisioning apps installed on the stock firmware for carriers. not sure if that makes much of a difference but im done messing with it.
First of all thanks Knuxyl for your guide, it helped me to install a GSI ROM n my Edge+, I found really good images but in the end all the images I tried had the same issue... "bluetooth devices connects but transfer no audio", I dont think this is a ROM issue, because I tested 6 android 10 custom ROMS and 3 android 11 with the same result, so I wonder if you dont have this same issue or you manage to solve it.
Im using crdroid v313+211013 and BT wont connect to anything unless I disable A2DP hardware offload inside developer options, with this option enable, the phone pairs with devices but transfer no sound also most of audio codecs are not selctable, they are disabled (grau color), if I enable gabeldorsche stack, the phone is unable to pair with devices. Please if anyone have this issue or suggestion let me know. Have a great day.
@Knuxyl - Thanks for putting this guide together.
@ifritknight - Indeed, I also couldn't get bluetooth to work. I got bootloop with Havoc and LOS 19. LOS 18 worked well.
hi , thank you , there are upgrade?
Well this platform isn't widely supported. I wrote the guide just to get us a foot in the door. The problems with VoLTE, sim, and Bluetooth are more than likely an improper implementation of the new oem partition stuff Google started enforcing, which started with Project Treble.
I did request the source for the kernel for global retail and verizon variants like a year ago. They finally released them within the past month on their github, so maybe a lineage developer could take a peek and possibly officially support this phone. This phone is too good to not support, but the display over usb c would take some effort.
