How to get 4G on sprint iphone 5 ios 7.0.4 (Tutorial) - GSM-Forum

I'm not sure if I explained it in a matter where everyone understands what to do but if you have any questions leave them below and I'll try my best to answer them. First of, I just wanna say that I'm using tmobile so I do not suggest for anyone to try it out for a different carrier.

Now first off, you're going to need to jailbreak your iphone.
Second, you're going to need to purchase a T-Mobile 39.01 SIM card.
Third you will need to download ifile from Cydia.
Fourth, you will need to delete your apn settings profile (if you don't have one, skip this step)
Fifth, you will need to go to ifile and locate the tmobile us carrier bundle and make a copy of it.
Sixth, you're going to make a back up of your sprint LTE us bundle and rename the original to "Sprint_LTE_US_original"
Seventh, you will rename your Tmobile_US carrier bundle to Sprint_LTE_US and reset your phone
Eighth, you will go to unlockit.co.nz and download the tmobile LTE apn settings.
Ninth, you will go to the irose tool and force 3G
Finally, go to your cellular settings and enable LTE

I will try to provide pictures later on in the day.

It is a 64k SIM card, it's not supposed to get 4G but somehow I managed to get it. Where I'm at I'm currently getting 9 mb/s. With 2g I was never able to get anything higher than 0.6 mb/s so it is definitely an improvement.

4G means 3G HDSPA+ which is an ugpraded 3G network before 4G LTE came out and available in many countries worldwide.

It won't work with a 128k which is why I'm telling you to get the 39.01 version. You can buy one on eBay for about 5 dollars.

I used 8 gold, but I'm sure it'll work with rsim 7 & higher. I believe it all depends on you using that SIM card and changing the carrier bundles.

If you use the TMobile or AT&T bundle on any iPhone, it should show 4G next to your carrier name when on a 3G network.
