Xiaomi Redmi 4X : Basebands - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Is there any source to finde latest basebands for Xiaomi Redmi 4X ?
And is it possible to flash it ?
Would be interesting to get any with LTE band 20.

Just updated to new global version 8.2.9.0 from 8.2.0.2.
There is also coming a little baseband update with it.
Before is was .2.c8-00006-8940_GEN_PACK-1_V003
and now it is .2.c8-00006-8940_GEN_PACK-1_V042.
Hope that also band 20 for LTE will come once with a standard update, because the hardware should be fine for it.
Would be great for users / customers in central europe around germany esp.

How can I downgrade the baseband? My 4x only has 2g signal

I have Redmi 4X (santoni) and I b20 was working already when I bought it. Now I use Xiaomi.eu MIUI 8 (Android N 7.1.2) and everything works perfectly.

I 've bought redmi 4x Global from GearBest but I don't know if it supports B20.
The box writes:
Product Name / Product Model: Mobile Phone / MAG138
Can someone confirm if it is indeed the global version and supports B20 ?

I am not 100% sure but I read that few times:
If you got english packaging you should have the international Version with band 20....

There are 3 different Versions to buy.
You can see it eg at geekbuying:
Version 1 : Normal 4x with english and chinese Rom - no Band 20
Version 2: Global Rom 4x with Multilanguage Rom - no Band 20
Version 3: Global Version 4x with Multilanguage Rom - including Band 20

Go to your order at the Gearbest shop and click on the link to the phone.
If you see Global version you have B20, as you can see at the specs (4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20)
Confusing part.......If you see the International version then you don't have B20 (4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8)

unlock bans 20
any way to unlock LTE band 800mh - (20) in xiaomi redmi 4x 2g/16 chinese version????
pls help. I bought this phone but havent band 20
(bootloader is unlock and rom is rooted)

I'm following the same question:
is it possible to unlock B20 on any 4X just flashing the right international ROM or
it is necessary to buy a different version of the phone
(i.e. B20 depends on software only or on hardware difference too ???)

I didn't buy it from Gearbest, it was from one of Czech e-shops. I wasn't aware of the different HW versions.

I think I'm just going to get the Global version on geekbuying with 3GB RAM, $124.99 is a really good price.

as far as i know the problem is not the modem, but the antenna. it needs a different one. you can try to modify the nvram if you know how to do it. you also need B20 configuration values for that. but maybe it really have other hardware requirements.

For Band 20 (EU, Germany) definitely buy the GLOBAL VERSION, on the box it clearly states Band 20 amongst others
China doesn't use Band 20 for LTE, so it's not supported on the China market phones.

Reading from other phones threads, it's not possible to add band 20 to phones without it.
Who tried modding the phone's reserved system partitions, ended up with a non-working phone modem/radio.
So, you must check the supported bands on the phone before you buy it.

k20 pro vs 9t pro

is there any difference between these two apart from ROM? Will chinese k20 pro NFC work when I flash a custom rom?
asking because will buy one soon, k20 is cheaper but I've seen on gsmarena that k20pro nfc works only in china and that's basically the only thing that would force me to choose it over 9tpro
Different bands pal

networks in every country that I've been so far (europe/scandinavia) work well on redmi note 3 which has less band support, should be fine, no?
there's that `NFC (china only)` thing in K20 column, will I be able to use it in europe after flashing a custom rom?

You can use it with the Chinese ROM. Not sure where this has come from that it only works in China. The issue is more about tap to pay apps don't work on the Chinese ROM. I know GPay doesn't play with Chinese MIUI, but not sure what else doesn't.
Once you've installed a custom ROM, then it's irrelevant (obviously excluding Indian models) which version of the phone you have. Any fixes required to get financial and tap to pay apps will work on all models with NFC hardware.

K20 Pro is released in China and India. Indian model, despite sharing the name, doesn't have NFC.
K20 PRO / Mi9T PRO ROM
I have mine ( K20 PRO ) with Mi9T PRO Global ROM. Everything works fine in, NFC works too.
Is the global Mi 9T Pro with dual band GPS?

Yes.. both official stable global and eea.
Be aware of the differences between the Chinese K20Pro and the Indian.
Chinese: no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom
Indian: no NFC, no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom.
Also there are hardware differences between the K20Pro and the 9T Pro.
Read very well all topics around flashing forward and back from stock to different Rom's and disregarding some don'ts put many here with a bricked or semi-bricked phone!!!

The only known hardware difference between all models is that the Indian model does not have the NFC coil. Otherwise they are identical.

No hardware/software wise band 20 is not there and it is a Qualcomm firmware thingy that blocked band 20 for all K20(Pro).
You can flash any Rom that you want but on as well the Indian as the Chinese K20(Pro) band 20 is not available.

Yes, but that is firmware, like your say. Physical hardware is the same, it's the firmware (software) controlling it that is different.

Question Switching to global rom - modem files

Hello everyone,
Searched the forums and could not find a definitive info regarding this, apologize in advance if i missed it.
I'm soon to receive my mi 11 ultra china version.
Alltough the bands used by all the carriers in my country are all supported, i've read somewhere on the mi 11 forum that the modem settings for china are different from the global/eu rom ( at least for the mi 11 ).
Wanted to know if i flash the original global/eea rom from xiaomi via the official tool, will i also get the modem configuration from the global/eea rom ? ( Just like the global mi 11 ultra )
Cheers !

i think you can BUT, don NOT lock the BL when you have a cn version running global or EEA.
As far as i know you can flash other versions as long as you keep BL unlocked, or it wil brick and you need EDL

There is a method on YouTube but I haven't needed to try it yet
When you down load the ZIP document with ROM every week, boot (kernel) & device ... Some instances it is also called modem or baseband (no idea what is the right ... I have Mi4w with miui7 ultimate international builders model.

If you mean the modem configuration like unlock needed bands it won't work.
I am not sure, but I guess it can be done. As far as I know, you can flash other versions after you keep the BL unlocked, I hope it works for you.
I'm on a china model in the US with the global rom installed...I would love to be able to use 5g. I would have to believe that if the hardware supports 5G and the modem software is preventing it there must be a way to get it to work.

Are you on global or EU? I bet if you switch back to Chinese, you'll have it working.

i'm on global. i bet you are correct about switching back to the china version...that's why i am thinking it is a software issue which like the OP I am hoping someone can resolve.

This is an older thread but wondering (1) did the baseband change to global after flashing the global rom? (2) Did it then pick up the band 66 (IF broadcast by your carrier in your area...not necessarily everywhere) Thanks
edit...folks are imo incorrectly focused on 5g (getting 5g or not) as its deployment is very spotty. Further if you check via signal check lite or Lte discovery apps, you will see that even if the phone shows 5G in status bar (lots of folks say they 'get' 5g based on that) the actual band is an LTE band usually (this is even with Apple iphones-have tested them out both on Tmobile and AT&T in my area...the 5G is mostly bunk imo and just marketing). ANyway, I digress. Does the flashing of global rom change the baseband to the global baseband and is the phone then able to pick up LTE 66 IF broadcast in your area?

Redmi 9 EU and Asia specs

Dear All,
I am going to buy Redmi 9. I am living in Europe.
The seller proposes 3/32 EU version and 4/64 Asia version (latest has no NFC but it is not critical first me).
I was told Asia version will not support some European frequencies as well as it will be flashed with EU ROM, but it is strongly recommended do not update or reflash.
Is it really an issue for Asian version? I didn't find any mentions about frequencies restriction and big problems of reflashing (with unlocked bootloader of course)?
I wonder...why drought the reseller?
here you can find models and frequencies info

All Xiaomi Redmi 9 models and variants. All the differences of each model, specifications and features. The Xiaomi Redmi 9 versions and specs may be different for each country.

compare these with your country frequencies
or buy both...the redmi 9 is quite cheap

Question RN10 pro Max - Global rom on Indian variant

Hello friends,
I have redmi note 10 pro Max (108mp ) and on sweetin. I am trying to use freedom mobile sim in Canada but I am not getting any network coverage. As per kimovli website, Indian variant does not support any band which operator offers. However, when I check global version of same mobile it does supports 2 lte bands (band 4 and band 7). I have below questions-
1) Can we unlock or use band 4 and band 7 without root / custom rom.
2) will installing global rom on Indian variant solve the problem ? Will it open band 4 and band 7?
3) Any latest thread or reference to install global rom on Indian variant? I tried search option but couldnt get any.
4) I am seeing through 'Activity Launcher' - band 4 and band 7 are listed. So does it means my device does support them right?
5) So they are currently disabled by sweetin rom correct?
6) Indian variant and Global variant devices are same hardware? I know there is no Max in global but RN10 pro global vs RN10 pro Max Indian variant?
Please help me

Question Is it able to unlock FDD-LTE B19 on CN rom?

Hello. I have bought Mi 11 because Chinese seller said it supports B19 of Japan.
But I found that it is not listen B19.
Is there any way to unlock B19?
I can fount that CN rom listen LTE B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28/38/40/41 in default settings.
Best regards.
That sounds strange, according to the specifications page, the Chinese version of Mi 11, in comparison to the international version, has additional support for B18/B19/B26 (for Japan) and B34/B39 (for China), but your Mi 11 does not support these bands when using CN ROM, I suspect that your Mi 11 may be the international version.
