Redmi Note 4 (MTK) and GSM 850 MHz (band 5) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

The Chinese Redmi Note 4 (MTK) has the following GSM bands listed:
GSM B2/B3/B8
while other regions such as HK has listed:
GSM B2/B3/B5/B8
Is there anyone with a Chinese model that can check which GSM bands are actually supported on the device via the MTK engineering menu? Even better if you are running the official global stable ROM (if it makes any difference or not).
So the question is if it's possible to enable GSM band 5 (850 MHz) on the Redmi Note 4 sold in mainland China?

Which Redmi Note 3 Pro version do I have?

Hello all,
I just received the Redmi Note 3 Pro version, with the Snapdragon processor. However, I hear that there are even several versions of the SD model.
I want to make sure which version I have so I correctly flash the appropriate files for root/custom rom without doing something like wiping the IMEI, etc.
The seller said its an "international" version in that it support U.S LTE bands which I get and I do see it came with Google Play and other Google Apps. So its definitely not the Chinese version.
Android Version is 6.0.1 MMB29M
Kernel Version is 3.10.84-perf-g0e57dc8
Build Number is MMB29M

So which version of the Snapdragon one do I have so I can flash the correct modems, kernels, Roms, etc?
Thanks!
As far as I know there is only one Snapdragon version of the Redmi Note 3. It's just the amount of RAM and internal storage that differs.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...napdragon-note-ensure-threads-titled-t3351620
For ROMs see http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development#romList
Measure the phone
152mm = Kate
150mm = Kenzo
From the looks of it, you have the Kate, as Kenzo doesn't have MIUI 7/Android 6.0.1 combo just yet.
It's Kate. Run a Aida64 and it should show as Kate. Here's mine with aida64.

Does the sd version support AES for encryption?

You can't enable band agregation, it's an hardware feature. Your phone can connect either to B3 or B7 depending on Your carrier and Your location but not the two at the same time.

not understand. in india Jio network support B3+B5+B40
The op want to activate "4G+", which is one name for band aggregation. The redmi note 3, even the special edition, does not support that.
If the op just want to activate the B3 and B7 bands because his carrier support this two bands but somehow he never connects, it's another problem, and idk how to help with that.
The default configuration of the RN3 should support those bands. I'm located in france and it doesn't matter which rom I use it connect to B3, B7 and other depending on where I am.

Modem from 1 to 2 was stitched, but it works not correctly, I had to return my native
The image of the modem is saved from two phones, it is possible to port B1 in a modem without B1?
Xiaomi Redmi 8 A similar processor, the possibility of porting the modem?
Good Morning Yan,
I have no Rakuten Mini phone. I hope to be of help, though.
According to Rakuten, there are three versions of the Rakuten Mini phone :
https://network-mobile-rakuten-co-j...ec.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fr
Click on "Supported frequencies" to have all details.
The third version, with serial numbers (IMEI) 351676110682491 to 351676113417929 does not have LTE band B1, but it has LTE band B4.
Rakuten also says here, that "When adding frequency bands to the design [...] the number of frequency bands that can be supported by mobile terminals is limited. Some frequencies etc. have been deleted."
If you just add B1, you may have too many frequency bands.
It is my understanding, that you used an older version of the modem file. This should remove B4 and add B1. But I may be wrong.
Please check that you deleted band B4 to "make space" for band B1.
Please keep us aware of your progress.
Have a nice day !
Cobus.

LG G8x carrier aggregation, add, edit, modify, help.
hello everyone, I have the sprint G8x, I changed the firmware to a free variant of panama, my operator works in band 4 and 28, according to the link:

4G & 5G Bands, Carrier Aggregation and Dual Connectivity Combinations for LG G8X (LMG850EMW)
cacombos.com
I currently use the g850em, should I flash the g850emw? I don't know if someone is in my same situation, I've been looking for information on how to add more bands to make the most of my operator's services.
If anyone has any help I would greatly appreciate it.

I was seeing that in a xiaomi forum they use QXDM to modify the CA2 band, as most operators use only 2 bands for LTE-A/LTE+, could someone verify if this is possible?

It is similar to the cross flash procedure that is done to change the sprint firmware. I hope your support colleagues.

Please see this guide: Link
By flashing mbn file, you can access full functionalities your carrier provided (except Rogers, fido, chatr, cityfone). However, due to band differences, please don't expect full speed 5G internet in Canada on this phone. From my test, Rogers 5G is slower than its LTE on my BC72 (it's not the internet issue because I tested on an iPhone).
I checked online about the band information for the US version of Xperia 1 iii, all the 5G bands in Canada are supported so technically you can have a better experience than me.
