Global Rom over Chinese version to get LTE b28 band? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi, I'll go to China next week, and I planning to buy this phone there ( Pro version snapdragon 650), Is possible to flash global rom over the chinese version and get support for B28 LTE band?

I think can't. In Taiwan, there are Redmi Note3 special edition. It supports b28, but it's different from other parts of the size, so may have modified hardware.
sorry,my English very poor.

I purchased Redmi Note 3 Pro from banggood (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 5.5-inch 2GB RAM 16GB Snapdragon 650 Hexa-core 4G Smartphone)
After purchasing it I have come to know that there are several versions of the phone: regular, global, special edition. I would like to find out which version my phone is and most importantly, if it is capable of receiving bands 2 and 4 connections.
I am in the US and plan to ATT carrier with the phone. I have seen some threads where users have had success getting 4G on T-Mobile.

You have the regular Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon model (2GB/16GB) codenamed "kenzo"
It comes with 2 official MIUI ROMs & 1 unofficial MIUI ROM which is often flashed by third-party sellers like gearbest, banggood etc.
- China ROM : Chinese, English + No Google Apps
- Global ROM : Muti-language + Google Apps
- Vendor ROM : Multi-language + Google Apps + Malwares + Bloatware
After you receive the device with vendor ROM you can flash official MIUI ROM via EDL mode using PC

Thank you very much for the information, I have already flashed to MIUI 8.
One more quick question, do you know whether my redmi is compatible with ATT bands? I did a quick search on AT&T bands and found the following:
AT&T 4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently.

The specs from the page you provided state:
Supported bands: FDD-LTE (B1/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8), TD-LTE (B38/B39/B40/B41), TD-SCDMA (B34/B39), WCDMA (B1/B2/B4/B5/B8), GSM (B2/B3/B5/B8), CDMA1X/EVDO (BC0)

Check it here for compatibility : http://willmyphonework.net/
Also you may need to contact AT&T support and ask them if they support the required bands via cellular towers in your area. There are tools available online which show the heatmap of the coverage alongwith the band information of a given locality.

How do i unlock LTE band 41 on the global Redmi 5 plus?

It seems only the china version supports band 41, yet the global version does not! My old redmi note 3 pro supported LTE band 41 i think. I feel shocked that the new phone doesnt ..
Anyone know how to enable it?
may be the problem is that their is slight difference in modem hardware between global version and chinese version
if not then you could try flashing china rom over the global rom (take extreme precautions and read carefully how to do this not to brick your device) and see if the band 41 is active
Last resort is to flash only modem software from china rom and test if band 41 is active or not but i do not know how to do so in Xiaomi devices

Different model versions

I am looking for a Honor 20 Pro version that fully supports all bands used in Europe, particularly in Switzerland.
According to www.frequencycheck.com, I need the model YAL-L41 to support all 3 LTE-bands used here.
The local online-shops use model number 51093VET.
Whats the difference/relation between the different model-numbers, p.ex. YAL-L41 und 51093VET?
How to be shure that I get the correct device that supports all locally used LTE bands?

Another Version is for China YAL-AL10 without LTE Band 20 and Band 7

Question What are the differences between global/eu/chine variants?

Hey there,
I wanted to buy a Realme GT, but I don't know the differences between all those variants. I'm unsure, if I would be buying a smartphone, which would for example have a lack of some network frequencies I had to use, currently living in Germany.
Could anyone provide me some help? Also, I wanted to root this phone and get some mods, are there any specific variant ones or are they working on all phones?
Would be really nice, if I could get some help, thanks in advance
Realme GT GLOBAL -> have all languages, 5G almost all bands except united states and china Comes with google play
Realme GT EU (or Indian version) it does have lots of languages but for example it don't have portuguese(brazil) language. it does have all bands like realme gt global. It includes some apps or stuff that is related to indian and euro market. Come with google play
Realme GT CN - Chinese variant it comes with google play services installed but no google play store. It comes with a bunch of chinese apps that are kinda useless
Both EU ,CN and Global version will have all 5G bands in germany. (Cn version have less two 4G bands so its recommended to use O2 KPN provider)
All variants can be rooted homeweaver its not recommended as realme didnt released kernel sources yet so there is no twrp (and that make rooting and updating system very HARD without bricking)
Also it is not the best device to root as you will lose in screen fingerprint after rooting.
If you want to look for a phone to root, see oneplus or xiaomi or wait realme community grow with custom roms that can use fingerprint while rooted
Here you can compare different band and combination support:
Global: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202_11
China: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202
I recommend buy Global version if you will use device outside from China.

I just recently got one online for a real decent price thinking that I could load custom ROMs and all but there's nothing out there. Is there any hope for this device or is it better to just get rid of it and get another device which is more likely to be supported in the long run?

I am thinking of buying the Chinese version of this cell phone but I am somewhat hesitant about the issue of google services and updates, you say that it comes with google services installed but without the play store, so google apps and their services will work without problems if I only install the playstore?

Currently 2 versions: CN and IN.
There are stock roms for the CN version but no Indian roms (maybe too soon).
Exactly the same phone except the bands depending on the region.
It seems to me that Xiaomi does not plan to sell it in markets other than China and India.
In this case, there will never be a global version.
It is on sale in Indian version on Amazon.in, not sure that he can send it elsewhere than in India.
Maybe Xioami Eu rom will provide roms for this phone.
The pro version will exist in a global version but unfortunately with a Mediatek soc.
but india version have other languages? or ony en /cn / india ? how do You known that pro will be elswhere? and when ?

The redmi note 12 is the continuation of the 11 and the 11 exists in a global version. When? for the 13 (CN presentation December 1 and the global version presentation February 27).
Never installed IN rom but the Indonesian has multi language.
"It seems to me that Xiaomi does not plan to sell it in markets other than China and India." added for now.
Maybe wait for a Global version.
Redmi Note 12 will be launched Brazil as global accord xiaomi did certificates
