i reply in english because for forum rules the answer can be erase for be in other language lol. yes i can... i search a lot and i buy mine on amazon, i asked to the seller and he said it works on all except 4G band. anyway in my area don't have 4g so.. no problem with that if you want to buy on Chinese page you can enter here http://www.kimovil.com/es/donde-comprar-xiaomi-redmi-3s-3gb-32-gb and you can se the web sites where the phone its sold with that band enabled. i hope you understand my bad english xD

I am from Mexico and bought my phone at geekbuying webpage.
[HK Stock][Official International Version][Package B]XIAOMI Redmi 3S 5.0inch HD 4G LTE MIUI 7 Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 Octa Core 3GB 32GB Smartphone
This International Version Works perfectly with 4G LTE Band 4. (Telcel Mexico)
Movistar in Mexico Uses the LTE Band 2 and the phone will only work with 3g. (H+)
Hope this helps.

Seems like the international version of Redmi 3s has additional FDD LTE bands (4G: FDD LTE B1/3/4/5/7/8/20 (2100/1800/1700/850/2600/900/800MHz)). I am wondering if we can unlock the additional bands in our Redmi 3s Chinese version because I also need band 4 in order to have LTE signal.

I was trying to unlock Band 2 on my phone, but could not unlock the bootloader.
After being granted permission from Xiaomi to unlock bootloader, I get the "Couldn't Verify Device" Error at 50%. Seems this is something xiaomi needs to fix.

is possible to unlock the LTE band 8(900 mhz) for VNS-L23?

Hello,
I have an Vns-l23 from latin america and i want to change carrier but it has a 900MHz band and my model only support this bands.
4G: FDD B2(1900MHz)/B4(1700MHz)/B5(850MHz)/B7(2600MHz)/B28(700MHz)
But i've researched and models like vns L21,L22 and L31 support band 8 and i want to know if there is a way to have LTE in this band in my phone, maybe changing ROM or something similar.
I've found methods in google but are only for qualcomm processors and doesn't work.
I'm using Cyanogenmod ROM and i haven't tried if this band is compatible but i want to make sure that it works before i change carrier.
If someone confirm that this band work in CM or know how to make compatible, please solve my dude.
PD: excuse if i made mistakes, english is not my native language.
Thanks.
As far as i know, is this a hardware thing and cannot be "unlocked" via software. If the latin american modem does not come with lte 800 support, i think it is imposible to "unlock".
News? Is it possible?
Could anybody do it?
I suppose it is possible...
I had asians firmware was-lx2 but i need to use it in Argentina, with other band for 3g and 4g.
So i chanhed firmware to latinoamerican was-lx3.
I supposed it would unlock me the same frequencies that the p10 Lite in latinamerica is using qhen you buy it original, but at the moment (1 day) i think nothing happend.. i do not hace 3g nor 4g.
What do you think?

Blu Vivo 5R LTE bands problem

Hi. I purchase a Blu VIVO 5R from amazon uk
The product description was that the phone sold by amazon have the following bands 4G LTE/FDD (2/4/7/12/17), 3G (850/1700/1900/2100)
But the one that it came have the following band 3G: (900/1900/2100) 4G FDD LTE: (1/3/7/20) TDD LTE: (38/38/40/41)
So im unable to receive 4G sinal (i need the FDD b4)
Is there any way to activate the band 4? maybe by installing another rom?
I checked on willmyphonework and its seems that there is only one version. That is why i think that maybe is possible to activate it..
Any help will be much apreciate.
Thanks for reading.​

Hi,
If you want you can try to flash newer update V25. It's here https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-5r/how-to/blu-vivo-5r-stock-roms-bluv0090eev11-t3492756
Backup your important data. Use SP flash tool to flash the newer update. Let it ran through the setup, and then factory reset.
Please let us know if you managed to fix the problem. Thanks.
Hi. I have UK version BLU_V0090EE if I flash it with the USA versión Blu V0090UU would be able to use the lte bands from USA or would just brick the phone?

LTE bands in Mexico - Movistar/Virginmobile

Hello guys, I just got the global version of this phone a few days ago, also I have updated to Oreo (Jan 1st update). I can't get 4G network connection with a service provider called Movistar and/or Virginmobile (they are using the band 2), but with AT&T (band 4) the LTE signal is working. Seems like this phone is working only with two service providers here in Mexico, Telcel and AT&T only. Do you know if there is a way to make this phone really useful with all the service providers? Thanks!
*Note: Unefon (using AT&T network) and FreedoomPop (using Telcel network) are providing LTE service too.

Aparentemente lo que dicen en los foros de MIUI es que el telefono no soporta la banda 2 y es por eso que los que tenemos movistar tristemente no podremos usar el LTE
Bro,Xiaomi currently only support the AWS band,not the PCS band

LTE Band Xiaomi Mi Note2

Hi, I'm new here. I have a question. is it possible to unlock b20 band on Xiaomi mi note 2? In Poland I need to use LTE 800 Mhz. I apologize for any mistakes but my English is not very good.
There are some ways on the internet for different Snapdragon devices and CPUs .
Never heard any Mi Note 2 user that he succeded doing such operation...
I guess you don't have the global version and need band 20 for LTE...
Maybe someone will come with a different and better answer, but as i know, you can unlock them in software but hardware does not support those additional bands that the Global version come with...
I tried to change the nvram parameters but to no avail
