What would happen if...

[zakth]

So I'm curious to un-comment out the lte in the build.prop file... anyone idea what might happen if I do? Worst case boot loops and reflash sbf or worse?

My Guess Would Be Just To Either Restore A Nandroid Or Flash The SBF.

I See The Nandroid Working Fine Because That Build.Prop Is Inside The System Folder Not On Top. Of Course This Is If It Allows You Back Into Recovery, Basically Make Sure You Flashed The Recovery With The System Recovery App. Then Worst Case Turn Off The Phone Because Let's Say It's Bootlooping, Then Plug The Wall-Charger In And It Should See The Recovery And Not Charge Mode Anymore.(Don't Power It On Just Plug It In) Best Of Luck.

Okay well curiosity got the best of me and I made all the changes....

Result? Nothing. Everything works as expected.

 

[zakth]

Well... I take that back.. I am somehow getting a -42 signal which is the strongest I have ever seen it.

Good To Know.

Its actually a negative number -93db....so higher is better really. The 52 would be much better than the 93.

end of line...

That's what common since told me lol but thought I should ask to be certain thanks

Prior to make those chances I never seen below -72 at home... but I don't see how those changes could have made me go from -72 to -42. Perhaps it's just a reporting bug.

If you have Root and a file system program you can edit build.prop, in that file I removed the comment on everything to do with multi-mode and lte. I also removed the comment on init.rc which states the phone is lte. I don't live in an area that has LTE so it's not like I would no if that activated anything lol

 

[zakth]

So I'm at a place that I normally get 1 bar or less... I have a full signal. Unless they just added a tower I think the changes I made are for the better.

Connect your phone to the computer using USB mode. Access the internal SD card and navigate to /system and copy the file build.prop to your computer. Open the file using note pad and the make the changes below. (compare what you have to what's below).

I'm going to look into this further.

Can you answer something for me? Are you in an LTE covered area?
