Redmi Note 2 TDD to FDD installing custom firmware

Hello, I found on Aliexpress some seller that claim that installing a custom firmware is possible to unlock all the LTE bands supported by Redmi Note 2, does anyone has experience about that?
Buying a Redmi Note 2 TDD which firmware should I install to unlock 4G LTE 1800mhz 2100mhz and 2600mhz bands ?

You can install without problems a Xiaomi.eu weekly. The base is from FDD firmware so you won't have problems

I'd like to know if this is possible myself. I bought the Redmi Note 2 from gearbest. I live in the US. Even though the info says it's for worldwide use, it's not. I can only get 2G on this phone through all US carriers. This phone has LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41, enabled and that's it. I guess it's good for everywhere else besides the US for 3G and 4G.

This is the official international version, with global ROM and Eu plug. No special Polish version. You can buy it since beginning of September by several Chinese traders.
But indeed, these are great news! I hope Xiaomi is planning a Mi5 or Mi5s with B20!

Redmi 3s with lte?

So there is a version of the Redmi 3s and 3s prime that is sold in Mexico that supports 4g lte (called only 4g in here)...
I was wondering, does it have different hardware? Or were the antennas for mexican 4g already there and activated via software?
I'm really confused on the subject and can't find any info as to why some xiaomi phones work with mexican 4g(Which uses some bands that are also used in the us).
I'm considering buying this or the 4 prime and was wondering if there could be a way to activate global lte on the 4 primer later on.
I was also wondering if I NEED to buy the phone in here to be able to use the 4g or if I might be able to pick up a phone from aliexpress and have 4g too.
Hope someone can help me with this info

The hardware is different but you can also get the LTE (4G) version for Mexico on Ali Express.
In Mexico you use LTE band 2 (Movistar: 1900 MHz) and 4 (AT&T,TelCel: 1700 MHz). So when you want to buy a Redmi 3S on Ali, make sure you buy the Xiaomi Redmi 3S Special Edition. It supports the LTE bands needed in your country.

!!
Thanks! =)
I was reading on sites that list the specs of the device but couldn't find anywhere that said that it supported lte bands 2 and 4 so I was quite confused. Thanks a lot.

Does Zenfone Max Pro M1 have carrier aggregation (4g+)

I'm planning to buy a new phone. I was considering Zenfone Max Pro M1 among others due to good specs for the price. I wanted to know if it has carrier aggregation which can work with Reliance Jio in 2CA (B3+B5, B5+B40, B3+B40) or 3CA (B3+B5+B40 (tdd+fdd)) mode.
The chip present inside it SD636, does have 3CA mentioned in modem spec sheet, however I can't see that in phone specs?

indian ver not have 4G+
Russia, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia. ver enebled 3CA

Italian variant doesn't support 4g+. Is only lte cat. 4
