Tmobile usa needs 2,4 and 12. So no.
I believe this version does have the needed bands?

Currently my unlocked MT2L03 only supports the USA LTE Bands. Can I unlock additional LTE Bands for worldwide usage? I am guessing TDD Bands will just not be there. But how about additional FDD Bands?

It's dependent on the modem inside the chip. If the other bands are not on the chip, no, you can't access them.

Hi there,
Well that's the obvious answer isn't it.
The question posed in OP is whether there are more bands accessible and whether anyone has made any progression in this domain for the Huawei devices.
I think one of the questions is whether the Kirin chipsets might have the Qualcomm modem on them (which is used in a lot of mobiles) and how to activate diag mode.
Anyone?

Hi ScoobSTi,
Right you are!
Which means it has Qualcomm chipset.
To add or change bands: look here and here, both on XDA.
Quite some report that they succeeded, but caution is to be paid.
Kind regards,
Thanks for the replies. MT2L03 uses Snapdragon 400 chip. I checked out the other links shared in the posts but they seemed to be for LG phones so unlikely to work on the Huawei.
Specifically I am interested to activate FDD LTE Band 3 / 1800.
The phone is shipped with FDD LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17 activated.
Thanks

Yep, that's correct. Just want to activate Band 3 LTE ... I am quite sure the radio would work if we have the code to activate it....

Dear all,
good afternoon.
I'm here to know if someone knows if it's possible to use my smartphone with band 7 LTE (2600) FDD. As far as I know this version only supports band 3 LTE (1800) but the European version has support for it. Right?
Do you know if putting the European ROM can solve this? Or there is a hardware limitation of the Chinese version?
Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
Take care,
Rui
2600MHz is supported by EU Honor7. It is conditioned by structure therefore you can't just replace the system of Chinese model with EU and have it.
I got the dual sim chinese Honor 7 and it supports FDD 1800-2100 .
I don't know why i can use 4g since my carrier uses 800-2600...

Which carrier? Available information shows that almost all providers cover 2600MHz LTE. Exception is Nextel, which runs on 1800MHz, which is supported by Chinese H7. And there is absolutely no information on LTE 800MHz in Brasil.

Then this is a totally new information. If you have the Chinese Honor 7 and LTE on SFR, it should indeed support either 800 or 2600MHz.
It's not recognizable from any known specifications though. And having been in Austria I can definitely confirm that my phone doesn't work on LTE 2600.

Mine doesn't work at 2600 FDD LTE either. Unfortunately I'm using Oi's carrier in Brazil without 1800 FDD LTE support. Yet....
Hello all,
I just saw the review of this phone @gsmarena.com (SD version) and it called my attention because of the supported frequencies (850,1900 2G/3G and B2/B4 LTE). This is the only Xiaomi phone with support for the carriers in my country. I have looked online but all the stores only have the phone with unsupported frequencies, similar to those of the MTK version.
Does anyone know where to but this phone with global band support? Thanks.

But i think you will not be able to flash all that custom Roms Herr...cuz this is the Kate Version not kenzo...thats why ill order the standard Version i think..
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Is this site trustworthy?
How do you identify what variant of the phone are they selling? Anyways, the one there is the only one with LTE support for my county.
My other option is the ZUK Z2, but have read very mixed reviews, thus I'm leaning towards RN3.

Hello,
I'm a bit confused about frequency support, as information across sites is not consistent.
From what I' ve read in the forums, there are 2 models:
- Kate, LTE B20 support
- Kenzo, no LTE B20 support.
Most sites sell a version that has no B2, B4 and B20 support, and that would be Kenzo, right?
Some other site lists one with B2, B4 and B20 support, that would be Kate.
But then there's another one that has B2 and B4 support but no B20. Which one is this? Are there different different versions of Kenzo? Is the site spcs incorrect?
Here are the sites and variants:
* B2, B4 AND B20 Support, Kate

Goldway has update his item description, now it claims to support B20.

I think that Prime ver means for all of them 3GbRam/32Rom.
Right now what I check is weight, 167 gr mean kate aka Special Edition
Regardss.
Pd. Careful since maybe cases are bit "tightly" (2extra millimeters)
Another supplier. Ships form an EU Warehouse. Support said, if all goes well, they will have stock next week

My suggestion where get it
I bought from HotMID(dot)com for Xiaomi devices and verified them physically and on mi(dot)com/verify.
Well, I finally made a decision and boght the one from geekbuying.com, which would be Kate.
From whats I've read in the forums, is supported by CM, which is what I would use. I've never used MIUI before, I'll give that a try frist.
My phone should arrive in about a month...

I ordered Mine too from geekbuying but kenzo, I don't need Band 20 but I like flashing and development. I already got the MiPad2 and used it with AOSP for a while(Stock Android) but then they released MIUI 8...And yea I still use MIUI and I love it, I recommend to install the Rom from xiaomi.eu it's globalized and has some other nice optimazions ull love it! Let us know when urs arrived.?
Naily
I received my Kate yesterday evening. So far I like it, MIUI is strage, needs some getting used to. Seems like the ROM is the factory one and has not been tampered with by the seller. I got a notification about OTA Update and it installed without a problem. I'll install the developer ROM today if I got the time and apply for bootloader unlock.

Does the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon version support the 850mHz gsm band? I have found contradictory information. Where I live in rural Costa Rica my phone does sometimes fall back to 2G and my provider uses 850mHz.
Thanks.

You should have no problems using Snapdragon version of Redmi Note 3 Pro.
It should work for 2G. 3G, and 4G LTE in your country for any phone carriers there except for Tuyo movil, 4G LTE bands/ frequencies isn't supported for that carrier, although rest is fine.
I would like to know if Redmi Note 4 can be used with US carriers? I am moving there and was planning to buy a phone
Redmi Note 4 Supported Bands:
2G bands GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 3(1800), 5(850), 40(2300)
US Supported Bands:
2G capabilities GSM 850, GSM 1900
3G capabilities UMTS 850, UMTS 1900, UMTS 1700, UMTS 2100
4G capabilities LTE 700, LTE 800, LTE 1700, LTE 1900, LTE 2100, LTE WCS 2300 (30), LTE 2500
Doesn't look like it but I wanted to know, since some users have claimed that they are able to use 3G despite the band being unsupported.
Get the ZTE Axon 7, Supports USA bands. I wish I did. To answer the original question. The note 4x works on at&t in the US, only one band. Band 5, sucks. So its not as fast as it could go but it at least works slow.
I have a Redmi Note 4X international edition and I'm running on the T-Mobile network. I'm in Utah. I couldn't give you the detailed channel info but you can always check the site http://willmyphonework.net/ it's a pretty good site to check phones against networks. That's what I did before I purchased my phone.

Don't know. I don't have a data plan.
I'm using the Redmi Note 4 global edition on T-Mobile and I get LTE on band 4.
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
Where did you buy it?
Is the LTE just as good as any other phone or is it ****tier in some way?
I don't understand why more people don't use them here if they work just as good, since it's clearly the best phone out there under 200 bucks, as far as I can tell.
I ordered a global version, but I still don't have any confidence that it's gonna work based on what little information I can find on the internet.
I'm on T-mobile US, using a Redmi Note 4 Global, and I've had no issues with it. Good LTE speeds, but I can't get VoLTE to work though.
Screenshot of my speeds here: http://imgur.com/h7So6Sj
yeah, I've been looking at apps like LTE Discovery the last couple days, and it looks like there's plenty of Band 4 in town where I'm at, so I guess that's good. Usually the places I go when I go out of town have no lte anyway so I doubt I'll be missing much.
I don't mind not having VoLTE since I use like 10 minutes of voice calls a month and I don't think my current phone uses it anyway.
