mobile

I just upgraded to Lollipop and lost LTE. I have EHRPD 3G only.

I am rooted and on Extreme Syndicate 5.0 Lollipop.

I have tried the usual items found in Google:
1) Removed SIM, rebooted. Put back SIM
2) Checked LTE settings under mobile networks (Global, also tried CDMA/ LTE)
3) Checked APN (vzwinternet, internet and VZWINTERNET)
4) Tried basic toggling of airplane mode, data, etc.

I am trying to avoid going back to kitkat stock and working back to lollipop.

I am hearing that a new SIM may be required but I have not gone that route yet and would like to resolve right away rather than taking a day for a SIM to ship to me.

Any help is appreciated.
