Will the Mi5 come with unlockable LTE bands ? - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

As I've come to believe from various sources the official supported bands are as follows:
4G FDD-LTE bands 1 / 3 / 7
4G TDD-LTE bands 38 / 39 / 40 / 41
3G TD-SCDMA bands 34 / 39
3G WCDMA bands 1 / 2 / 5 / 8
3G CDMA 2000 bands BC0 / BC1
2G GSM bands 2 / 3 / 5 / 8
2G CDMA 1X BC0 / BC1
Now since I live in europe .. my ISP's most used 4g (LTE) band is 20 (800mhz) and so it is not supported..
Will it be possible to unlock this band via QPST - QXDM modification, or has the band been disabled on the hardware side of the chip itself ?
I know it's very early on, but I have been anticipating the arrival of MI5 for months now, only to find a lack of european LTE support ...
thanks in advance for any info !!!

I also wonder this! Would be great for the 4G coverage here in Europe!

I'm also curious about this. If LTE band 20 is unlockable I'll buy one right away

It would be nice to know if it would be possible. I am also very interested in this phone

Here is answer from official support:

Well, that does only mean that the device does not officially support others bands. The question however was, if other bands can be unlocked.

FDD-LTE (band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
TD-LTE (band 38, 39, 40, 41)
TD-SCDMA 1900/ 2000
CDMA EV-DO Rev.A (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100mhz)
WCDMA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100)
GSM (850, 900, 1800, 1900)

We'll all just probably have to wait until someone has one in hand and can test some different SIM Card to see what it actually will support... Needless to say though is if someone at least tests with either a TMO SIM or ATT SIM and they work.... one can assume that all 18 bands do... now it's a waiting game

I'm pretty sure it will not have all of those bands. Out of luck if you want to use this and are on Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile.

They just updated the supported bands and they have some of my country.. But I don't understand quite well the difference in the 800hz to 1800 to even 2600.. if for example my device catches the 1800 band but not the others, will the signal be good, or to be perfect in need to pick them all?
Also, higher frequency means better signal?

It won't support AT&T LTE?
Sent from my BLU LIFE ONE X using Tapatalk

Yes is it confirmed ! But if many people say it Xiaomi can't make Lte Global because Samsung and Apple don't want this...
But I'm sure it's not hardware but software and it possible to unlock this ?
And Xiaomi wont to shop in international but in late 2017 and this MI5 there are Lte Global in late 2017 Sorry for people want it me to

The question has not actually been answered: is anyone aware of any possibilities to unlock, via a kernel perhaps, the bands which should be supported by the hardware?

There's a good chance if you can unlock bootloader, Hugo Barra said in an interview that the India version will have those unlocked and not the model sold in China.

I need Band 20 for Europe Digital Dividend - and UMTS 900! The Sprint version has UMTS 900, but no Band 20
I'm afraid the S5 is not a true world phone....
4G-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 17
1 2100 (Japan, South Korea,
2 US PCS 1900
3 EU/ASIA DCS 1800
4 US AWS
5 US CELLULAR FREQ
7 2600
17 AT&T 700
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G - UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
NO UMTS 900 This is the biggest loss, as some areas ONLY have UMTS 900, no GSM 900
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz

[Q] No Band 12 for AT&T & TMO

Question here. I was doing some digging. I should receive my Z3 compact phone today. I read that both it and the Z3 phones do not offer band 12. I currently use Straight Talk running off the AT&T bands. Apparently, in 2013 AT&T announced that they picked up band 12. Here is the breakdown of bands used between AT&T and TMO;
AT&T:
4G-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 20, and 29
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G - UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
T-Mobile:
Quad Band GSM; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850); LTE: 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17
Is the lack of band 12 causing any issues with Z3/Z3C users using AT&T?
No issues.

[Q] XT1095 in Europe, or converting to XT1092?

Quick question: I'm able to get a good deal on a XT1095 but live in Europe, so I guess I would be better served (range/compatibility with the available networks) with a XT1092 model - quite a bit more expensive.
Is this a non-issue? Is there no hardware difference whatsoever and can I convert them via software and actually get all the network support I need?
Moto X - Pure Edition XT1095
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS), 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17)
vs
Moto X - XT1092
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1800, 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (1, 3, 7, 8, 20)
I believe in Belgium UMTS/HSPA+ is on the 1800MHz band so that would be needed to get this where there is no LTE coverage.

The problem with lg g flex 959 T-Mobile

Hello, tell someone how to make that lg g flex d959 worked in Russian 3g and 4g networks can install the firmware from the other versions of this smartphone? I want more fm radio and television to display if the technology is supported by Russia.
It all depends on which bands are Russia telecomms providers.

In the sense you mean it with another rosskiyskim operator can work ? I checked all operators.
Like for example LG G Flex tmo bands are
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - D959 (3G+)
LTE: /1900/2100/TD2600 MHz (Band 25, 26, 41)
These are the bands available in Tmos Modem
If these are compatible with your carreer you should check.

Band Inquiry - C Band

So the G025I varient supports bands 77 and 78.The US varient, G025E,supports band 77 only. The thing is band 77 is actually a subset of band 78.So it makes
me wonder.
I wonder if we can flash UK.EU, AU firmware on a US model and if that would open those bands--if the hardware was physically identical between the I and E varients.
