Got a xiaomi redmi note 4g LTE to play with but unfortunately device only supported FDD-LTE band 1, 3 only. Needed band 2, 4 and 7 to be able to work with tmobile USA LTE network. Any ideas on how to add those values to the phone?

No you cannot unlock bands. Bands are hardware based.

the hardware was supported. It's a Snapdragon 410 chipset with 4G LTE world mode. it's Xiaomi who didn't add those bands into the baseband modem. I read some XDA threads about unlocking all LTE bands for Qualcomm Snapdragon chips but I couldn't understand how to add thoae NV values and how to get into the USB settings mode in my Xiaomi device. I need someone with experience to look into this and maybe make some step by steo guide for us. Its been done b4 with oneplusone, oppo, Sony, LG, Samsung phones with success so I knew it could be done.
ok i could be wrong. My friend just brought a moto x to australia and used a process or update to open up some more bands on his phone .
similar to this discussion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58064666&postcount=16 ???

The ROM actually unlocks more LTE bands?

Don't know if you're still wondering, I found out there are two versions of this phone. One is Chinese the other is a Hong Kong version. The Hong Kong version comes out of the box with compatible T-Mobile 4g lte band.

Oh, and as for ROMs unlocking lte bands. I would try the MIUI 5 global ROM. I haven't had a chance to test myself yet but, I would give it a shot. It's the ROM the Hong Kong version comes with out of the box.

I'm sorry, I'm not too familiar with lte bands outside of the US. However you should check out this forum for the Redmi Note 4g. It's where I got most of my info from.

Can I unlock bands with Mokee?

I'm still not sure it's possible. I've searched and most people say it's hardware based and ROMs can't change it. If you're already rooted and have custom recovery, you might as well give it a shot and report back.

Same problem here. My carrier uses a LTE frequency not supported by phone. All other carriers are supported, mine is not, frustrating. Installing Mokee (or any other custom ROM, I tried them all) doesn't change a thing. I don't know about MIUI, but don't think it would work.

How is it going now? Have you successfully unlocked B7
I want to unlock B20 and went through all the steps from this guide but no luck
But I did LOCKED B7 which is available originally on my Mi NOTE (dual-sim) to see if the value I set into 6828 is working.
you can have a go to unlock B7 I think

I posted a new thread here
Instruction DIAG mode for Redmi note 4g
4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=611491&st=4620
Hi,
I know that there is an version with band 20 enabled. But its only a version with 64Gb internal and 4Gb of ram. So is there a actuell hardware difference or is it just a software/licensing thing. So there is version with band 20 enabled and a version without would it be possible the see the difference in software and "simply" flash it to enable band 20? And would it be possible to do this on the more powerful version with 128gb and 6 gb of ram?
Sorry for my english.

Someone flashed the A2017G (European/Global) firmware onto a North American A2017U. It broke the modem. Only way to fix it was to flash the A2017U modem, so there seems to be a hardware difference at least between the G and U versions. Unsure about the Chinese version.

how i flash modem where i download them
I've got a nxt al10 mate 8 coming (first android) what are the benefits of flashing it. Also what's the choice version to flash it to comsindering mine is 64gb in Australia (3G,4g and lte networks) and I'll be using the dual sim function.
Cheers
As far as i know al10 has chinese firmware without google services and play store. So that's why you need to flash it to international firmware l29.
well, either that or u can install the google services manually good thing about chinese firmware is it gets frequent updates whereas L29 users are somewhat left behind...
Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10
What about English for some of the Huawei proprietary voice control stuff?? Is all in Chinese on the AL10....is it good enough and in English on L29 to possibly be handy??
If flashing a different version ,lets say l29 to al10, will unlock some of the lte bands?
unlock LTE bands? theres just one band difference betweem the two they both have the same number of bands, just that one differs...

As far as I know, there are 3 versions of the Axon 7:
A2017 (Chinese Version)
A2017U (US / North American Version)
A2017G (Global / European Version)
Only A2017G has LTE band 20 which is very important here in Europe.
Unfortunately the more powerful hardware with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash is only available in China.
Of course I can buy the phone from aliexpress or similar website in Chinese Version. But is there a way to flash a A2017G ROM (including modem) to the A2017 version and get a fully functional European version including full LTE bands but now with more powerful hardware?
i would also like to know. i have the A2017 bought from aliexpress, and i live in Japan. I need to upgrade to the A2017G modem, as my reception has gone to **** since the B15 update. Marshmellow firmware had much better reception. Its that or wait until the next flashable firmware update.
Good luck to us both
I would also like to know too! But after searching on xda and other sites. I don't think this is do-able. T_T
I started to try the qcn method but it does not work for me unless someone can share the original qcn file of axon7 A2017G or A2017G
In my case I need to activate band 8.
My axon is Chinese only has FDD LTE band 1,3,7
My question isnt about language is about the band frecuency global version can support.
Or we can have issues with antirollback? And need to have unlocked bootloader.
Maybe even with bootloader unlocked bands will not be abailable.
Thanks for reading

The global version of the Redmi K20 as the Xiaomi Mi 9T will be on sale on Monday, June 17th with the 6GB/64GB version on sale for 299 Euros for that day only while supplies last. Phones come down in price after 2-3 months. Bands are shown here under Specs https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t/specs/
You need to unlock bootloader first then can flash to any firmware Global EU RU, but this will not give you band support. bands are hardware thing.
