    Root Updating

    I have already flashed 5.1.1, but I am pretty sure I flashed a version for a different carrier (network type). LTE works properly, but sometimes I get no signal, when I think it should be using 3G. Can I flash the correct version's radio file only, or do I need to start all over again?
