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 .

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
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?
Hi i new here and inglish not is my native languaje sry for you eyes hhahaha
I see the forum, i see other question unlock band 20 method but is posible unlock the band 4 (aws) lte ?
The cellphone only have aws in 3g, the cellphone support band 4lte ?
I dont want brick the new cellphone, the proce is snapdragon 430 (xiaomi 3s) actuallity global version
Thanks for you time
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....
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.
