Google Fi uses T-Mobile's network. If you're using the USA version (version C) then you'd have no problems.

Is it possible to change versions (A, B, C) by changing firmware of zenfone 9? Or is it possible to unlock missing bands of Global version for US carriers?

I am not aware of any way to do that. As far as I know, you're stuck with the radio bands of the version you have.

HELP! How to add LTE FDD bands

Does anyone know how to add or enable FDD-LTE band 4 (1700MHz). I already tried with MTK Engineer app but this and other bands are disabled and cannot be activated.
Thanks in advance

I second your motion, but AWS will be hard to unlock, as the US version of the phone supporting AWS is not shipping yet. Maybe when is out you could crossflash the phone to get support, or mod the modem ROM/baseband or something, but before that I don't think is possible.
Yes. I guess so. When is the shipment of the US version expected to start?

It's impossible to flash new frequency ranges on any modem. Frequencies are purely Hardware based. The p9000 does not support USA LTE frequencies. (1700/2100 band 4). Although the website says the B version (US version) has been "coming soon" for months now.

So. You mean that B version will have different hardware?

carrier aggregation issue on xiaomi phones

hey everyone, I'd like to open a discussion about getting carrier aggregations on our phones, as you already know many of us can't get this feature that's already been implemented on our carriers in many countries or in some countries one carrier does and one doesn't. it's called LTA-A, LTE plus. 4G Plus network
I saw a post on reddit and I quote :
"TIL : Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo) doesn't support Inter-band CA
Recently, I just bought a carrier aggregation enabled operator's SIM card (Digi) to try out this phone's CA aka LTE-A aka 4G+. For your information, I live in Malaysia and you could look up for this operator in this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Asia. To my surprise, there's no 4G+ icon show up so I'd decided to look up for more info on Chinese MIUI regarding this. Users that are able to access 4G+ are all China Mobile users and China Telecom users are not able to. China Mobile had intra-band CA and China Telecom had inter-band CA and hence I came with a conclusion, this phone doesn't support Inter-band CA."
which makes sense to me, as the carrier in my country which is Iran uses Inter-Band CA and won't work on my phone which is kenzo(rn3).also none of the xiaomi phones work either (entry level to flagship ones)
so, does anyone have the knowledge to tell me and the others that is it possible to change Intra-Band CA to Inter-Band CA? or is it the hardware that should be changed in order to work?
note : LTE bands aren't the issue here, both carrier and phones support them.
@TheStrix @flar2 @franciscofranco @MEGAX91 @billchen1977 @dadi11 @psndna88 @xyyx (please don't mind the order)
any suggestions regarding this issue?
@MEGAX91 I believe you were successful on your device(kate). is there a complete guide for everyone that could follow?
I'm desperately looking for a reasonable solution

It shows LTE+/4G+ but only 1 carrier. It cant working just got information from service provider about second carrier. I exactly got the same result.
2 different band, need to use 2 different antenna...

There are very few operators which allow carrier aggregation.... Standards are there to implement in their network but mostly they are pretty expensive for them to bring live... May be in future, we may have

Mate 10 Pro AL00 CDMA support

I have the Huawei Mate 10 Pro Chinese Version BLA-AL00. Specs sheet says that the phone supports CDMA 800Mhz. I have a CDMA network in my home country operating at the same frequency and I couldn't get it to work. It's not locked on any network in China. But it only works with GSM in my country. Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this issue?

How does rebranding work? Can I then rebrand to the original firmware?
And why l29c636?
Besides, this is a firmware for the Mate9? Wouldn't it cause any problems applying it to Mate10?

CMDA only works on China Telecom -- no other carriers supported for CDMA due to licensing issues apparently.

Not that I know of. It's probably possible if you're rooted and you dig around and find the files which only allow CDMA to be enabled on China Telecom, but it might be illegal to do it, as most countries only allow Qualcomm CDMA.

Carrier aggregation with mi9

Someone that already have it coukd check what band are included? Today i will ran some test on my friends phone
Did you checked it? I'm very curious about aggregation bands 1+3+7 because no other Xiaomi could do that because of software lock. S855 could do that easily
Also curious
I'm waiting to hear more on this as well. I'm hoping, due to their recent announcements of trying to enter the US market, that the Mi 9 will aggregate on more bands, specifically bands in the US on AT&T.
Once OnePlus started entering the US market they made sure to unlock all the features of the Qualcomm modem. My 5T often is 3xCA on 2, 4, 12 or 66 for example. Unfortunately, it has a huge bug with the modem.
I made some test with my mi 9 eu with the global beta and I can confirm that it is 4ca (and 256 qam) capable in europe (b1+b3+b7+b20). Tomorrow I'll check if it can go in MIMO 4x4.

For the life of me I cannot get LTE+ to work(carrier aggregation). My Chinese variant will only connect to a single LTE band. I have run stock, xiaomi.eu, floko gsi and not on global stable and no change. WTF. My temp phone that is a Verizon lg g3 can do LTE+ and it only supports 2 T-Mobile bands where this device support 4.

Same here, LTE+ doesn't show up. I'm on T-Mobile US. I didn't have any problems with my Mix 2 and Mix 2S.
I've had it show a couple times outdoors but never inside. I also had no similar issue on Mix 2 or 2S. I thought the MI & Mix Xiaomi phones were supposed to be comparable but maybe not.
My mi5 has AG on b3+b7 but my mi 9 don't show 4g+ and no AG!
Xiaomi is unsual in this case!

In Italy mi9 supports only b1, b3, b7 and b20.
The mi9 has 4x4 MIMO only on band 7 but not in any combination that include the band 3.

OMG, why only band B7?
I guess we will never have full support.
In the Netherlands I see 4G+ all the time, just like on my previous MI mix 2. Not rooted, bootloader is locked, global version running eea rom

N10 not detecting 5G networks

Hi,
There are 3 carriers offering 5G in my city at the moment, which are using bands that N10 supports, but it's not connecting with 5G and when I search manually, it shows only networks up to 4G. The phone is updated.
Which version? EU or NA ? And does your provider have 5G?
Have same issue with NA version in Germany. with *#*#4636#*#* you can enable "NR network" which is 5G. but not in normal settings - typing 5G in setting search does show some additional settings that are invisible - i suspect it might be disabled and i don't have 5G provider anyways.
EU version (BE2029). It turns out that NR is enabled by default.
Now I realized that for some reason I have NA ROM 10.5.9 BE86AA instead of 10.5.9.BE89BA one.
Flashing the EU ROM did not help.

What did you flash? Boot image or cross-flash with msm download tool?
I did a 'full OTA' update through system app using update file from this article https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-nord-n10-5g-oxygenos-10-5-9/
I have tested again with a new 5G enabled SIM and everything works as expected - Obviously the system disables the 5G settings without a fitting SIM. This was with T-Mobile Germany.
ROM is 10.5.9 BE86

No issues with NA version on US TMO with the correct SIM.
I have 5g working in USA on Visible (Verizon). I had to enable NR in the *#*#4636#*#* settings. It's resets after reboot unfortunately. Hopefully an update will allow us to select 5g from the normal settings menu. A but disappointed this phone didn't come with that option already enabled.

Spoke to soon - 5g works, but about 30% slower then my 8pro. Also doesn't connect is weak places the other one does ??
Mine works great on TMobile USA 5G. I did try an Unreal SIm (AT&T) and it does not get 5G, the setting for Preferred Network Type drops the 5G all together as an option.
I was wondering if the Canadian version is the US or International version? They have different 5G bands.

Probably - so does international. You should get the detailed lists of bands for both phones and compare them to your carrier's bands.
I almost made a huge mistake of buying another of their "global" phones from China, but when I checked their bands, it was missing some US 5g and LTE bands.
