MI 9 Global LTE (B20) / Chinese LTE (B17)

Hi,
Can somebody help me?
I have a question.
Is the LTE B20/B17 difference in hardware or software?
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.

no - just no.
its not a software unlock, frequencies were locked in hardware.

Unlocking bands by installing the global rom on the k20 pro (mi9t pro's rom)?

Hey so since the bands are all on the SOC is it not possible to just flash the "global rom" (mi9t pro) on the k20 pro and get the needed bands for global use? I don't see a reason why not hmm please help and if you tried this post pics of the bands below, thank you!
No, it's more of a hardware issue that can't be fixed just by changing roms.

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.

Redmi K20 Pro 8GB 256GB - Chinese or Global?

Hello,
I want to buy the K20 pro from aliexpress but can not decide which version to buy, the Chinese or the Global.
Does it make a difference which version I pick, if I wipe the device anyway?
Or do I need the Global version for LTE to fully functioning in Germany?
Thanks in advance

This is a k20 pro chinese which means no band 20 for lte
You check google and some sites to know the bands you need
But you will either choose global rom ( with unlocked bootloader by the seller ) or chinese rom with locked bootloader
The one that has band 20 is the mi 9t pro
The mi 9t pro doesnot have a 256GB version till now as far as I know so for sure this is a k20 pro missing the band 20
For me in my country, we donot have band 20 used and if I travelled to an area where it is a must I will use 3g instead but if I am living in a band 20 area then it is a must

One german user bought the Global version from aliexpress and posted a screenshot of the system information in the comments on aliexpress. It shows Mi 9t pro.
Did someone on here bought the phone from aliexpress and can confirm that band 20 and lte are working?
Buy Global version. B20 may definitely come in handy especially in Europe. You can buy it here: https://www.eglobalcentral.de/xiaom...ne-sim-lock-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-schwarz.html or here: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-9-pro-hk-global-version-256-gb-unlocked.html
I bought it in the first shop
Versions from AliExpress are just normal K20 Pro without B20 support, even if they have flashed global rom
Definitly buy global version ( with b20 support) for germany , because you will see diference in rural areas where german operators use b20 band for 4g, lte coverage. I have k20 pro chinese ver and sometimes i dont have 4g,lte in those places.

Are you sure about this? I thought eglobal and wondamobile just import the same unlocked global version like on aliexpress (Redmi K20 pro) from Hongkong.

Yes I'm sure. Xiaomi released Global 8/256 version but only in HongKong. It supports B20 100%
They even say they released 8/256 M Mi 9T Pro on their page: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t-pro/specs
Also here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80449693&postcount=116
The version we speak of bought in eglobalcenter

I totally get your point, that's why I created this thread in the first place.
But how do you know, that the global version from aliexpress does not have the b20 band, but the global version from eglobal or wandamobile have the b20 band?

Honestly i'm not 100% sure but i've checked opinions about some of the more popular offers and they all said that it's just K20 Pro with flashed global ROM - not true Mi 9T Pro Global version and also I can't really find such offer that would explicitly say it's a global version with such specs. Either Mi 9T Pro 6/128 or K20 Pro 8/256 with flashed Global ROM (but still without B20)

If the system information screen says 'Mi 9t pro', then the phone would 100% have the B20 band, correct?

well as far as i know, not really. After all it could be normal K20 Pro with flashed Global ROM. If you flash that rom it will change name according to the region. You would have to check if the device has locked or unlocked bootloader. If it has locked BL and name Mi 9T Pro then it's very possible it's a model with B20 support because you can't lock a bootloader on K20 Pro with flashed global rom.

Ok, thanks pal. Then I'll go with the 6/128GB version from eglobal. It's the more safe option.
I also think this is good enough hardware for a casual user anyway.

Yeah I also think 6/128 it's more than enough. Good luck
The Mi 9T Pro 8GB/256GB is on sale at the moment and 20€ cheaper.

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?
