[Q] LTE Support on Rooted Note 3 Ireland topic

Hi all,

First of all I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this thread, it just seems like the related threads are in this forum.

First of all I have the international unbranded version of the note three (SM-N9005), which I rooted in order to use VPN. I did this using the chainfire method which of course tripped the knox flag, I'm not griping about that because I don't really care about the warranty, just giving facts.

This then prevents the phone from checking for updates properly saying "device has been modified" or something like that.

I'm on three ireland and they very recently switched on 4g/lte network support but you need to accept an ota update to enable it. Therein lies my problem, I can't accept an ota update.

I would have no problem unrooting to accept an update, but that doesn't reset the knox flag and my phone will still show up as modified and considering the amount of effort I would have to go through to unroot just to end up on the same situation as I'm in already is not worth it.

I have tried the viaero 4g toggle app but this just gives a black screen for me. I also tried the persist.radio.lteon.xml fix but I couldn't find that file to change the setting. These solutions suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2468624&page=2

So my questions:

Is there any way to flash some sort of firmware unofficially to give lte support?

If I flashed a custom rom would that give me lte support? Or do I need to flash the official 3 Ireland lte firmware first?

If that will work, can anyone recommend a rom to install?

Finally has anyone managed to get themselves out of a similar situation yet?

Hope somebody can help,

Thanks for reading

Barry
