If I buy one Mi 9 Chinese version phone and than I put the phone a Global ROM the B20 frekvency is will working?
Sorry for my poor English.

Xiaomi Redmi 4X : Basebands

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.

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

You can unbrick now without edl iirc
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?

Question Owning a Chinese version of Mi 11

What distinguishes the Global version from Chinese? is it only the system's language that intrigues people to Global version? if so, then I am good if the Chinese version fully supports English, does it? (beside the Chinese apps) I also found that Chinese version frequencies work fine in my hometown, but I have seen someone's post on Mi Community claims that Chinese Mi 11 with global ROM doesn't work on LTE-A while global Mi 11 works perfectly (https://c.mi.com/thread-3619711-1-0.html?sources=1) is it a problem related to flashing or because it's originally Chinese phone?
Kimovil.com says the same bands are in both for 2g 3g 4g and 5g

Question Xiaomi Mi 11/PRO - possible to unlock 5G 2600MHz band in China model?

Hi. I'm wondering is it possible to unlock 5G 2600MHz band(n38) in China model. I'm using SIM card in Poland and my operator(Plus) provide 5G only in 2600MHz frequency.
Is there someone who succesfully unlocked this band in Mi 11 or Mi 11 PRO? Maybe change ROM to xiaomi.eu unlock this band?
