Hello
I wanna unlock my samsung s4 active i9295 (running on 4.4.2) 4g network so i went ahead to rooting the phone and used root explorer to search for a particular file ( persist.radio.lteon) and changed it from false to true, after which i reboot my phone and i saw d lte option on my phone but yet i still dont get 4g network and i also noticed dat any time i install(put) anoda sim into my phone i will stop seeing d lte option again taking me back to the beginning....
Is there anything am doing wrong or i just have to delete d file (persist.radio.lteon) from my device? ?



Hope 2 hear from u soon..

I was actually expecting your Baseband and Build number.
The phone doesn't recognize the SIM as having 4G capability which is needed to enable this feature. 
Do you have a SIM card that 4G has actually worked on?
Another option is to root and delete persist.radio.lteon then reboot

The baseband is i9295XXUCNHZ while the build number is KOT49H.I9295XXUCNHZ

And my phone is rooted already and i also have the persist.radio.lteon in sight..d main problem is that i dont know maybe deleting it will do d trick kuz av changed it from false to true but i only get the 4g option. I dont c my network switching to 4g any time my connection is on and d option dissappear anytime i insert anoda sim..

Do you have a SIM card that has actually displayed 4G on another device?
