[Q] U.S. Version with Global UMTS?

All the U.S. versions seem to support LTE bands for U.S. carriers, but the same versions do not support global UMTS frequencies. For example, the at&t version (D800) lacks the 900Mhz frequency. The T-Mobile version (D801) lacks the 900Mhz UMTS frequency. The Verizon version (VS980) has all four UMTS frequencies, but lacks LTE band 17 which would enable it to work on at&t's network.
So, is there a version that has a versatile radio similar to the new iphone 5s that has all four UMTS frequencies plus LTE bands 4, 17, etc?

Which LG G2 are not compatible with Europe?

I want to buy a phone to a friend of mine in Europe but I have no clue that what frequencies are not compatible with the models of LG G2. I am excluding Sprint and Verizon models.
How about T-mobile and AT&T versions? Are they compatible and do they have a sim card slot?
Thanks in advance

All versions have a SIM card slot, but you'll definitely need to find out which frequencies your friend's carrier uses in order for us to be able to help you. You wouldn't want to buy a T-Mobile one and then find out you needed a Verizon one in order to get 3G in your carrier (happened to me).

If you don't know on which carrier phone will be used to check for bands and radio frequencies, AT&T LG-D800 is your best bet. It supports almost all of them excluding LTE bands.

I wonder what are the frequencies of T-mobile and AT&T versions? If I get them, I can find out the European frequencies. Any hint?

@Alex
So it seems both versions are compatible with Europe. Thanks man. Appreciate it.

The D803 Canadian version also includes some of the LTE European frequencies.

[Q] Is it possible to flash different radios to gain GSM?

I've been at a loss on what to do with my Note 3 since moving to St. Louis. I was at first under the assumption that since it has a sim card slot it could be unlocked and used on GSM carriers and boy was I wrong. The USCC variant does not support GSM at all, and only operates on CDMA. I'm not accurate in my assumption but I assume that the US Note 3s all contain the same hardware but different radios flashed to the chipset preventing access to North American GSM. And now the challenge:
With Root and recovery access is it possible to flash a radio from a GSM variant and match the kernel and then subsequently a GSM Rom to turn the USCC into a GSM capable device?
To start I have found the following infoModes

Australian looking to purchase

Hey all,
I'm very keen on getting an essential phone, and I live in Australia. I am wondering if anyone knows if it will work down under, and whether you think I should be worried about warranty claims.
Thanks!

Essential phone supports all the bands below, no worries there, will work just fine.
As for warranty, since it is not sold in AUS, then you don't have one, but i wouldn't sweat it.
3G bands
850MHz (B5) – Telstra
900MHz (B8) – Optus, Vodafone –
2100MHz (B1) – Telstra, Optus, Vodafone
4G/LTE bands
Australia is currently using these LTE bands
2100Mhz (B1) – Telstra (a handful of sites), Optus (Tasmania), Vodafone
1800Mhz (B3) – Telstra, Optus, Vodafone
850Mhz (B5) – Vodafone
2600Mhz (B7) – Telstra, Optus
900Mhz (B8) – Telstra (a handful of sites, utilises spectrum previously used by 2G)
700Mhz (B28) – Telstra, Optus
2300Mhz (B40) – Optus (Vivid wireless spectrum)

LTE CAT

I have ZB601KL device - 6GB I wold like to know that is the device support LTE 2CA ?

I do not get the 4G+ symbol, only 4G so I assume that carrier aggregation is not being supported in my present scenario. However, CA depends on the carrier, band and SoC (modem). SD636 with X12 LTE modem is CA capable and you can manually enable CA if you are BL unlocked+rooted.
Presently in Indian region I think Jio has deployed CA in Band 3+5 / 5+40 / 3+40 & also 3CA whereas Airtel has deployed CA in B3+B40 but it's 4G network is patchy and only available in some areas. Rest operators I don't know

I got 4G+ on my Nokia 7 Plus when using Airtel at the same time its doesn't on Max Pro

It has to be implemented by Asus like it has done on the ZB602KL variant.
Can any of the devs advice if the modem firmware of ZB602KL be flashed onto ZB601KL variant?
