Hi forks,
I want to create a new thread because there are too many misleading information about this topic. Band unlocking does not work. I'm here in the US for a month and after trying to modify #6828 value LTE will not show up in my phone (enable band 2). Even unlock bootloader, install LineageOS but it will never work.
That's it. Mi5 will never work in the US with LTE.
Who cares. Why do you need 4g on a phone anyway?

You are correct, I followed the articles to unlock bands. It showed me all the LTE bands unlocked however it never connected on those bands even the mobile company support those bands.
You can not connect to any LTE band other than came with xiaomi mi5 inbuilt.
U can Unlock
I think you can unlock the band. I am from India. I brought Mi5 from china. Band 3,5,40 are the bands in India. There is band 5 was missing in my Mi5. I unlocked band 5 through nvram value edit method
If you read the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/progress-trying-to-unlock-bands-t3337476 carefully, you will find that the method does work but only for some bands. Specifically, while the Mi5 comes with bands 1, 3, 7, 38-41 working, with the method bands 5 and 8 can also be made to work.
hey iam also purchase the same mi5 64 from china after that i notice the lte band 5 is not working cause iam from rural area here is only band 5 work as well. i rooted the phone and after that try the nvram values but with no signal plz tell me the detail method how to unlock the lte band no 5 in mi5 phone.
Guys Xiaomi will it unlock band 1 (2100mz) to work with Vodafone India?....it's terribly not fair to use 3g in 4g device.
Or anybody got luckily work?
Hello,
I am using Redmi Note 3 SD version. I have used it since December 2016 with Jio(India)
It worked perfectly. Now after using it with Vodafone 4G , i faced issue with 4G and most of the time got 3G network which i thought was restricted to that carrier.
Now i switched back to Jio and 4G drops constantly in some areas where other phones work perfectly with same SIM
I unlocked Bootloader flashed old MIUI version and rooted my phone
I installed Network Guru in that
for Band 40(2300) it drops constantly with LTE RACH being Radio Link Failure and Failure at MSG2
When i lock it to BAND 5(850) it works perfectly. Can someone help me find out whats the issue? I would love to get back to using all the bands as this may prevent me from using network in some areas

My kenzo has the same issue with China Mobile(China).
Failure at msg2 for band 38, band 40 and band 41.
Currently, I lock it down to band 39 to get it work.
I tried another SIM card by China Unicom doesn't have this problem, it uses band 3 and works fine.
Tried to flash the original ROM and modify the NV with QTSP but didn't work.
HW Issue

I think its an hardware issue, replacing the motherboard might be the only way
I have a ANE-LX3C25 it had band 5 enabled but i changed it to LX1C432 and it can not longer get LTE, it seems that there is no one in this forum with c25.
Can someone tell me if C432 supports band 5? If so what did go wrong?
If it doesn't can someone share Oem info of a model with band 5 enabled?

Where are you located? I'm in the same shoes, I reflashed an LX1C432 (European) into LX3C605, hoping to have LTE but all I get is Edge on US T-Mobile.
The only info I found is here, it clearly shows some models will have some of my LTE bands (I'm in NYC) but it does not show which damn country firmware we have to flash: https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/huawei-p20-lite
Hello all!
I actually have an Oppo A series 2020 that I got while in the Philippines. I travel there frequently and live in Guam so we have a poor selection of phones to buy here.
It's a quad band dual SIM phone so I mistakenly thought it would work on my carrier here in Guam.
My carrier uses LTE Band 4 and the phone supports only 3 & 5 and like 20 others that are not 4. My question is, is there any way to change this? A search of the forums did pull up some apps that adjust the LTE Band but I couldn't tell if that was switching the default band or actually changing the bands available. Are these other bands locked by software only or are they fixed with hardware?
Any info or suggestions would be great. Thank you !
