SM-n910v 5.1.1 rooted - questiong about using it on att.



So I bought this phone the other day from a kid, and I saw it was pulling LTE with a Nano Sim from ATT - so I figured great, I threw in an Mirco SD card with unlimited data from ATT - it's only showing HSPA+ 6/4 up down which I can live with. I redid all the apn settings to make sure I'd be able to use it for text/calling etc. Reason I decided to get this phone was because I wanted to root it and then hotspot on it. I don't know why att has to be a douche bag about hot spotting. I'm okay if they gave some basic cap (even with the unlimited plan), but alias I am unable to get LTE speeds no matter how I goof around with the phones apn settings. I don't know how he got LTE speeds on the phone. However the LTE symbol popped up it wasn't rooted at the time.

Now next question: I have twrp installed and I've flashed/wiped/reset the crap out of this phone goofing around with some of the settings. Deleting all the Verizon stuff, but Now I'm kinda wondering if I am at a stand still. I understand after reading a bit that Verizon and ATT using different bands, so I understand I may be capped because of that. But I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that when he popped in that little sim card it showed LTE and It was in fact an ATT sim.

So now on to why I made this post - I'm wanting to flash an att 910a firmware to the phone. I understand it's risky - but if I have TWRP in stalled won't I be able to get myself out of a boot loop? OR will it render the phone unable to log into twrp? I've read people using the 910t firmware on a 910v phone. I know there is kernels bits and bytes that may render the phone useless? I'm hoping by flashing the ATT firmware on there it'll allow me to get LTE speeds.

Also, when flashing the 910a is there a kernel that's preferred?
