[Q] T-Mobile/Metro Bands - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

https://www.giztop.com/asus-rog-phone-2.html
Compatible with Asia / Europe(Partial bands) / Australia Bands
The ROG Phone 2 provides global 4G LTE-FDD bands:
8GB-128GB Version: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B28;
12GB-512GB Version: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B13/B17/B18/B19/B20/B26/B28/B29/B32/B66.
Now the eBay sellers are claiming the phone works in USA GSM carriers:
Network Technology GSM / HSPA / LTE
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100)
5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700)
18(800), 19(800), 20(800), 28(700), 29(700), 32(1500)
34(2000), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500), 46
I'm really confused here. I imagine GizTop and the eBay sellers have the same version of the phone so why are they advertising different LTE bands? I really want fully functioning LTE bands so I don't want to buy the wrong version. Does anyone have any advice or info?

You can't change the bands, you can only enable/disable them through qpst or depending on which phone variant it may be possible through a hidden menu.

[Q] Can I guy Sprint (or other carrier) Note 5 and use w/ Verizon?

Hello. I would really like to get the Note 5 but will not do so until I can root it. Does anyone know if I can buy a rootable Note 5 from another carrier and use it on Verizon? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? What carrier(s) could I use?
Thnx in advance!
The simple answer is as long it is a CDMA model and isn't locked to a specific carrier, then it should be usable on Verizon.
Rooting is a different matter, a question for someone more knowledgeable than I.

So Sprint should work on Verizon?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
My first guess based on a quick simple google search of "do sprint phones work on Verizon" tell me chances are you will have big problems.
https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhon...y-verizon-sprint-phone-on-a-different-network
If it's not completely impossible altogether. You are also asking the question in a forum of users with gsm phones and providers. You may have more luck if you ask in the verizon or sprint forums for the device. I've never seen mention of anyone using or asking about verizon in the sprint forum, maybe the verizon people can tell you for sure.

Good suggestion; I'll do that. Thnx!

Can't get data with T-mobile on G6 LS993, also frp question...

I put the APN in and I confirmed it with T-mobile. I will copy below. I asked them to send to phone and they said it would take 1/2 hour. Then they said because it came from Sprint everything might not work. Isn't that a bunch of garbage. They are the same phone essentially except maybe different stuff packed in. Is there somewhere else I should be asking this question? Does anyone know how to get rid of all the Sprint garbage?
Also, if I entered my google account in a phone and want to do a factory reset before selling it how do I fix that first?
If anyone wants to know how or who can do an unlock on sprint LG G6, shoot me a PM.
The Sprint G6 has these bands available.

The T-MOBILE version has different bands than the Sprint version, so may not work optimally in your area, depends on what bands are supported in your area.

IF I just buy an unlocked note 9 (US version/qualc), will it work on any SIM carrier?

If I buy an unlocked phone from samsung direct, and just pick unlocked, can I use it on US Cellular? Is the CDMA/GSM stuff no longer an issue? Or does the phone support both, so it just works?
Because of course, they have a "US CELLULAR" option, but then I assume that means it comes with the US Cellular bloatware.
Would I have to flash the US Cellular note 9 software on this one to get access to everything (such as it is on us cellular), or just stick in the sim, and be happy?
I bought the unlocked model and it works fine on Verizon after putting the PIN in, very painless. However, features like WiFi calling don't work because I don't have the Verizon firmware. If US Cellular doesn't have any special features that aren't app based then you won't notice a difference in service with the unlocked model.

Yes, it should work perfectly fine with any US Cell Provider
It will work.

is lg-lmv405ua firmware for at&t or sprint?

lg v40 at&t and sprint have the same model number: lg-lmv405ua.
is https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv405ua-firmwares/ for att or sprint?
the spec from the above link:
Network and Data
Number of sim slots 1 Nano-Sim
2G network GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G network HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
4G network LTE band 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 13(700), 20(800), 28(700), 46, 66(1700/2100)
Data GPRS/EDGE
It does not mention cdma support and also missed all the key sprint frequency, so i assume it is for at&t only?
and where can i download the sprint stock rom (android 8 or 9)?
upate: i have contacted lg-firmwares.com and they said it is not for either att or sprint, it should be verizon because that is what they have for UA model.

It's not at&t. It doesn't support band 29 and 30. And at&t usually does not allow any oem to release their firmware.
