FDD-LTE by ROM? - Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Questions & Answers

So does it matter if I grab any Mi Note 2 and just install the global rom? Meaning that I grab the local and install the Global rom that it will work in the US on LTE? Thanks.

It's a confusing way they've named things but no.
Global rom and global edition are very different things.
The Global rom will run on all editions of the phone and includes Google apps.
The Global edition will run either Global or CN rom and has many more bands available for use.
Changing the ROM will not change the bands that the phone is capable of.

It's a hardware issue, not software.

Just wanted to be sure. I know that there are ways to open up LTE Bands on Snapdragon CPU, but don't know how easy or hard of is

I am not going to dissuade you from trying but I wouldn't try opening that can of worms and just get one of the newer Xiaomis that have global band support out of the box like the Mi Mix 2 or the Mi A1 (check the specs for both devices on gsmarena).

Mi A1

I am trying to find hard specifics on the Mi A1, as far as US Bands. We are about to get the Mi Note 2 Global, but my gawd is it hard to get Global ROMs from the Chinese sites. They can't seem to get shipments in and it's wait, wait, wait....
Been looking on the web for Mi A1 bands and I am under the impression it won't have several bands needed for Verizon/TMBL/AT&T....

Difference between X720 X722 X727

Hello,
what is the difference between X720 and X727 ? Is the hardware the same ?
720 international, can be 4gb or 6gb ram, bootloader unlockable
727 usa version, only 4gb ram, locked bootloader, additional frequency band for US.
Rest of the hardware same, AFAIK

Yeah just received the 727 and the bootloader is locked. That really sucks

LTE Bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/29/30/38
720 is also a dual sim phone
Somekne knows the lte bands of X720?. In some websites it says it has 1/3/7 and in others 1/2/3/4/5/7/8. Which one i believe?
FDD-LTE: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE:38/39/40/41
WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/8 TD-SCDMA: B34/39; EVDO:BC0/BC1
GSM：2/3/5/8; CDMA: BC0/BC1
from cn lemall ,it should be x720
Baseband is suspected to be the same for both models. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/help/x727-baseband-t3508884#post69837688
X722 - No NFC, Snapdragon S820
I just bought Le Pro 3 Elite (x722) for only $191
https://m.joybuy.com/ware/detail/2099074
It is a new product, first phones came out just two months ago. It is still on EUI 5.8 020s but the price/features/name is unbeatable
Wow great price, does it have English?

Can you root it or change the ROM? There's no information about this device currently.
I didn't try root and there is no support for it. But I don't mind after playing with over 50 china phones and flashing roms on them and releasing adjusted china roms on Modaco forum and elsewhere.
The only software I have found by now is a generic unbrick rom:

Google apps can be easily installed through Google Installer v2 apk

I don't care if you can't root as long as you can change the rom or debloat this, but seems like there's NOTHING on xda, not a single tool or rom for it, that's why.
P.S. Also debloater is not working for X727 as far as I know, so you have to stick with the chinese bloat, and just use nova launcher.
You can debloat most of the China stuff in EUI, like:
- Turn off that video service screen on the left of Home screen
- Settings, app management, Installed apps - Uninstall
- Phone manager, App warehouse, Disable
- You can disable notifications for some apps, like calendar
It isn't a proper debloating but it moves china apps from the sight.
Well, good news for x722 owners.
There is an update to EUI 5.9 v 026s showing in my phone this morning
@dakok Let us know how it works... apparently nobody owns it so for now it does not have any community support. I don't know if it comes with gapps, but I think it's now on EUI 26s.

Changing the FDD LTE Bands

Had anyone who doesnt have the Global Version tried to change the LTE Band with the Snapdragon software tools? If you haven't heard or tried this just search Unlock LTE Bands in XDA main search. Because I'm think its going to be much cheaper to by the Chinese version that is like only 343USD for 6gb of RAM and 128 ROM and unlock the bands. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Changing the bands with QPST or QXDM can be done but it has no effect on functionality.
Some software will see these bands as unlocked but the phone itself can not make use of them. You might also run into some trouble on MIUI though custom roms seem more flexible with this.
At the moment there is no way to convert a CN (band restricted) model into a Global model (no band restrictions).
Hi, somebody has any news ?
for conversion(activate ) band 20 in Xiaomi Note 2 ?
thank you
This is very important topic I think. What I find really weird that the firmware files (modem) and rom are the same no matter which version you have...
On redmi note 3, kate and kenzo have different rom and different modem files. Its really weird here.

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

Bro follow me guidelines

Can we flash global rom on chinnese version?

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.

K20 CN vs K20 Global Release vs Mi 9T : are same?

Hello all, I want to buy a k20 . But here is a problem that, in my country the price of Mi 9t and k20 which released in india just now is quite high compared to k20 chinese version. so here's some question of me:
if i flash global rom in k20 CN ,will it be equivalent to k20 indian version and Mi 9T?
and one last thing is the codename of k20 CN and k20 indian variant are same? because i am a custom rom lover.
(I dont need netflix hd)
Please help me with these queries. I am very much interested in becoming the part of this family.
On ordinary global ROM you can set India region and language (and you can flash it on CN Redmi K20, but you have to unlock bootloader and never lock it again). Maybe for India version of this phone will be different software (because of different codename) but maybe it will be the same. We have to wait.
