LTE bands in Mexico - Movistar/Virginmobile - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

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

Tmobile Tab on Telcel ( AT&T)

if i install the JK3 radio the tab from tmobile will work at 3G speeds in TELCEL? because i tried and it didnt work? or is becase the antena?
Telcel is same as at&t. So T-Mobile tab can't get 3g. And it won't work on Movistar either.

[Q] Is it simlocked?

Hello.
I just got a second-hand i9505. And i have some questions.
It's running 4.4.2. When it boots, it displays a SFR logo (i heard is a french carrier).
I have used Factory data reset, and the problem is that the phone installed me SuperSU. True, it's not working, so i don't have root. But when i check for updates OTA it says that my device has been modified blah blah blah.
When i connect it to Kies, it says i have an upgrade.
Current firmware version: PDA:NC4 / PHONE:NC4 / CSC:NC2 (SFR)
Latest firmware version: PDA:NG8 / PHONE:NG8 / CSC:NG1 (SFR)
I don't use here in Romania SFR (i'm on Telekom) so i'm asking, if i upgrade it via kies is there any chance to become simlock?? And if it becomes simlock, how can i unlock it.
Or... can i flash any software from samsung-updates.com?
Sorry for my bad english..

Ceva clar nu e bine cu telefonul. Din moment ce un factory reset iti instaleaza SuperSU. Pe firmware original nu ar trebui sa se intample.
Daca zici ca il folosesti in Telekom, atunci nu cred ca e blocat intr-o retea. Dar, daca e cumparat de la o firma de telefonie din franta, atunci e posibil sa fi fost codat si apoi l-a decodat cineva.
Cat despre update, nu stiu sa-ti spun daca il va coda inapoi.
Something is definitely wrong with the phone. Since a factory reset is installing the SuperSU app. On the original firmware this shouldn't happen.
If you say you're using it in Telekom, then it I don't think it's locked to a carrier. But if it was bought it from a french carrier, then it might have been carrier locked and unlocked afterwards
As for the update, I don't know if it will lock it back.
Whether the phone becomes SIM Locked or not depends on how it was unlocked. Carrier unlocks or purchased unlock codes are permanent. The unlock methods used here run the risk of losing the unlock when upgrading, though they can be run again if needed. The good news about an unlocked phone is that you can install any stock ROM you want. For example, my 9505 was an O2 phone. When I bought it the device had Slovenian firmware on it. I've since replaced that with Black Edition unbranded firmware.
Is there any chance to be unlocked with root help? If yes, this should not be working, because the root is inactive.
Anyway, you're saying that i can flash an unbranded stock rom? And it will not become simlocked?
To the best of my recollection, the service menu unlock does not require root. Attempting to take advantage of RegionLock Away's unintended side effect of unlocking the phone while removing the region lock requires root, since RegionLock Away modifies system files.
In any event, if your phone is unlocked, you can install unbranded firmware in place of whatever firmware is currently on the S4. However, there's no guarantee you won't lose the SIM unlock, especially if you use the methods on the forums here to unlock it. In fact I'm reluctant to upgrade to Android 5.0.1 when it finally becomes available for the 9505. Not only am I concerned that Android 5.0.1's massive changes will break the SIM lock, but based upon horror stories I've read on the forums here, there's no downgrading the new modem once installed. If that truly is the case, then I'll look into a custom Android 5.0 Touchwiz ROM, when they become a bit more common.

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.

Differences between SM-G975U and SM-G975U1 TMB

So a quick one here, I have the SM-G975U1 Unlocked Galaxy S10+, and I flashed it to the SM-G975U TMB firmware. So far its ok - the t-mo advanced messaging and voice calling works, but it does say the "your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service center". I did some searching, and I saw there is a SM-G975U1 TMB version as well.
I am a bit confused by this - I thought all unlocked firmware was U1, and carrier branded firmware is U. Has anyone flashed this U1 TMB and got all the carrier features? What is this version?
And a side note, is there no difference between flashing U or U1 firmware between phones, or is it better practice to flash the U1 firmware on U1 devices?
Thanks!
There is no difference in hardware. U1 will lose some of the tmobile stuff for sure. I have U1 and there is no VoLTE so far. I tried to get virtual vm to work and there is no way. There is no U1 TMB, it's just SIM provisioning. if you want tmobile stuff, you can go ahead and flash their firmware. where do you get this error you mentioned? "your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service center"

Volte works outta the box for u1 on tmobile, you won't find an option but it is working, you can check by making a call and it'll be on lte if you have volte, and visual voicemail you can't get integrated into dialer but you can use the stand alone app, only difference is the TMobile bloat bewtween the firmwares and the u1 has the native scam caller

So, do you get the HD icon next to the caller's name? I have tried to native visual vm didn't work... Did you get yours to work? if so, what is your app version?

You won't get the hd icon because that's a tmo firmware thing, doesn't mean volte isn't working, if your lte icon doesnt go away during a call you have volte, as for the VM app just download from playstore
^this! Good call!
U1 supports VoWifi and VoLTE. No VVM nor Video Calling. The VoLTE indicator is missing, yes, but U1 models have supported it on TMO since S8. RCS is likely not supported by the stock Messenger app.
Unlike the TMO var, U1 has Hiya built in. And of course there's no SIM unlock code.

I got this when I went to conduct a software update.
However I guess no one has any insight on the original question regarding if there is an actual TMB U1 firmware as indicated on SamFirm?
Question for anyone who wants to answer. I have a SM-977U Verizon S10 5G Model. If I flash it using Oden to firmware version SM-975U1 will it affect the network performance and speed of the phone? Has anyone Don this yet?

Are you sure you actually get better signal, or is it just visual adjustments which Carriers have been known to do?

And if it is signal, is it possible to flash U1 with the t-mobile modem?

The signal definitely improved a lot. With U1 I use to have one bar or no signal inside my office at work. Now, I have about 3 bars inside my office. In regard to mixing firmware, I believe it's not possible
so the U1 is on June update with Night mode available? or is it still on May?
