I read somewhere that Snapdragon 801 was one of the first smartphone chipset where the LTE radio band compatiblitiy/frequncy is determined sole by softwear.
(I know on the older smartphones LTE bands is set in hardware.)
So I am wondering if I can load the moden from G900I to a G900F to unlock more frequency on the G900F?
anyone?

Hello,
I currently own a Samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n900v. The phone was factory unlocked, and I rooted the phone. Then I unlocked band 4 which i believe is the lte 1700mhz band.. but I need to get the gsm 1700mhz band for wind mobile.. was wondering if this is possible like on the older notes where you flash the modem file. Or if there is some other possible method.
Are ROMs cross flashable on the Snapdragon LTE models?
I saw a ROM that can be flashed on a variety of the Snapdragon LTE models and I am wondering if this applies to all ROMs.
This is because I come from the Xperia Z where ROMs are cross flashable between the 3G and LTE models of the device, due to them being internally identical just with different frequency bands.
If this is not the case then I will need to specifically find the SM-G900F which is difficult since in Australia I believe it is the SM-G900i model that is sold...
It it at all possible that the only difference between the HSPA only N900 and the carrier model N900a is baseband firmware?
Its not unheard of that both have identical modem hardware and would just need to be flashed with a different one.
Thanks in advance!
No. N900 is exynos and n900a is qualcomm lte on at&t

Not unless you can flash entirely new hardware...
You can't access LTE on the 3G only device, it doesn't have an LTE radio.
Are displays for both models compatible ? Can mother boards be swapped between them ?
I saw on this forum some method for phones with qualcom processor but for mediatek nothing. I need this band for Digi 4g Romania
My Elephone has MTK6752 chip and supports only FDD bands lte 1,3,7 and 20.
There are other phones with the same chip that have this lte band 38 enabled like: Jiayu s3,Siswoo cooper,lenovo k3 and htc820s to name some.
So is it possible somehow to enable that band;or if I flash ported firmware from those phones,people who know more are welcome with solutions
sorry for bad english and thanks for any good reply
Hello folks! Is it possible to somehow modify the firmware on the G935F to enable LTE band 30? I know that the G935W8 has LTE band 30. I assume that the G935F and G935W8 have identical hardware because they are both Exynos variants. Shouldn't that mean a software mod could enable the same thing for the G935F? Thanks!
Just want to add, I'm not sure exactly where the LTE band info is stored in the phone. Would flashing the g935w8 firmware on the g935f result in have the same LTE bands as an original g935w8 device?
