How can i get to edit the APN's of a XT1766 with a this current rom NCQS26.69-64-2?

Hello guys,

I think the question is very clear but I'll elaborate anyways.

I bought the Moto E4 for my wife this week because I read that this phone features the LTE band number 3 (1800) and that's the LTE band that her company uses to provide LTE services, however we just updated the phone OTA just the day we bought it and after updating it we noticed that the phone didn't get LTE, after some research I learned that allegedly, those 2 updates we did just after booting the device may have been designed specifically to stop us from editing the APN's witch I now need to edit in order to properly configure the phone to work with her current company...

So I need your help, any ideas how can I fix this? (I'm not noob, I just can't find not a single thread here talking about a phone with this specific firmware NCQS26.69-64-2 the phone has installed and I'm worried that If I flash to the phone this software SPERRY_SPRINT_NCQ26.69-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip I may soft-hard-brick it because I'm uncertain that that software is meant to work in this phone and also worried that that software won't allow me to edit the APN's how I need to get LTE working)

So I live in a 3rd world country where the internet sucks and I have to let the 1.6 file downloading all night long to flash it tomorrow, I intend to flash the firmware but I'll be happy to see any response on you guys before that time comes.

Thanks in advance for any help on this subject, I have been away from this community for a long time but I'm a fan of your work here fellas.

I have seen some say that downgrading will hard brick after the most recent update. So I wouldn't do it. There is a thread here about creating a custom stock update package by replacing some of the .img files in the new update with ones from the older one that may help. I'll try to find the link. You may have to use different files as the post came here before the latest update.

Ok @pedrod89
this is what I found. You may want to ask op of that thread for advice if you have any questions. But I think that's what you are looking for.
