I been checking with vendors and none would clarify if they carry the global model or not. I need that one because its the only one with band 4 aws
Anyone knows?
it comes from the Czech Republic https://www.xiaomiforsale.com/de/phones/312-note-3-pro-332.html
Hi guys,
I just bought a Chinese version of the X820 and I was wondering how do I move from China to Indian firmware? Do I do it via the updater and download the Indian firmware and renaming it to update.zip? (Not rooted)
and another question, which is better, Chinese or Indian version?
Thanks.
Yes, you can. I have flashed rom 16S X821 India for my mobile. Everything is ok.
Thanks. Which is better for you?
Hi, wanted to tell you that I moved from the chinese to the indian to the us version, didn't use the indian one, but between the us and chinese, the us is better as it doesnt have as much bloatware (for the rest is pretty much the same)
I had problems setting up the APN for my data on the Indian version tho. The China one was fine. Is saving APN working fine on the US version?
I didn't have to do anything after flashing the US one, so I would say that it just works.
Do all LTE bands sill work, whichever firmware you use?
Don't know about all of them, I'm currently in Asia, and this this had originally the Chinese version, flashed the us and still get 4g in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
I'm inclined to think that they do work no matter the ROM.
Btw, I was trying to go from Chinese 14s to US 16s and it got stucked in a boot loop, so I flashed again the Chinese, then went to the Indian one, I think 15s, and then the US one, it worked without an issue that way.
Now i'm using CN 16S. I have a problem with 4G+/LTE-A in Malaysia.
When it switch to 4G+ coverage, all phone signal include data and call will lost (Can't use at all)
No toggle switch to turn off 4G+ only, but able set preference to 3G to run without signal drop (Only HSPDA)
Now my containment solution of this is :-
In Malaysia, telco using CA for Band 3 and 7 for 4G+. The coverage for Band 3 is higher than band 7. So i disable the Band 7 to stop the phone switch to 4G+, I still able to enjoy the 4G of Band 3, rather than only set to 3G (HSPDA)
Anyone with better solution, please let me know. Thanks
Hey, I'm from Malaysia too. Had the same issue. You got to make a new APN. Eventho it looks like an APN has already been set, it still won't work. I find my LTE to be working again after I set a new APN.
Is there a major difference between the x820 and the x829 version? From what i could find on the internet the x829 is the version for the US and i'm not sure if it has bootloader unlocked, considering the 64 gb ROM i would risk buying it, but if lte wont work in Romania on this version, and there's no way to instal another custom rom thats a no buy, please tell me your thoughts
P.S. sorry for the basic language i'm not a expert in this field

You can look on this site: willmyphonework.net
There you can choose brand,model,country and your provider.
Website mentioned does not help, as you can't select variants.
As far as I know (I have ordered it myself) X829 is USA version, so it DOES NOT HAVE BAND 20. I would skip on this one if your 4G/LTE carrier is emitting via B20 frequency.
Here in Montenegro, 2 out of 3 carriers have 4G and both use bands 3 and 7, so I am covered and don't really care about B20.
There is a tool that unlocks bands, yet nobody confirmed that it actually works.
As far as custom ROMs are a concern, they all are interchangeable , means all ROMs can be used on all variants, X820, X821, X823, X829...

I have x820 working perfectly in Lithuania, you can check your Country's LTE supported bands on this link; http://willmyphonework.net/ and hardware for all version of max 2 is the same, you can always switch between roms.
Most webshop are pre-selling the X829 and will ship fom Feb 28, let's wait a few days to have them in hand and have actual experince on whether they have B20 and if they can be unlocked. (I want to know also if they do)

Sorry man, but are you sure that I can use a x820's rom on x829 version? Because there is an awesome x820 rom by cuoco92
Hello in an German Forum a user told that all Roms are working for the X829 and the LTE Band 20 have been unlocked
And than he said he was mistaken, 'cose his phone was x820, not as he belived x829
There's no proof b20 is gonna work - yet.

Yes, he got his Phone last friday. He wrote, the unlock with the DFS-Tool is done like the manual description. He can't test the LTE-Band, because he havn't a SIM with LTE. He is waiting for a new SIM to test the x829. DFS-Tool shown a unlocked B20
link it here, bitte
Has anyone tried the x829 in the US CDMA carriers like Verizon, if it works on them it will be e killer deal!
Thinking about buying this phone. Can you guys tell me the common issues with this phone? The one I'm most concerned with is the headphone jack, does it produce hiss sound at low volume? I ask this since I came across a lot of phones with that issue. Thanks in advance

I personally don't experience hissing on this phone. As far as issues, it involves the OTA from Vendor Roms which bricked some devices. You can check your ROM version and cross reference it with the ones on the Mi website to make sure. Aside from that, I don't see anything wrong with the phone.
Hi, I'm also considering to buy Note 5 and I just wanted to say that I don't have that problem with Note 4, it doesn't mean much since I don't use N5 but I think there is very very little chance for hissing issue in any device produced in 2017.

Hi, when I purchased seller offer also a global variant for 40 usd more.
Many people confuse about global device version and global firmware that it´s not the same.
You just have to pay special attention to the bands that is enabled, the global version has more bands enabled, by i.e my version that is a non global doesn´t have LTE bands 2 (1900) nor 4 (1700/2100) it mean that in my country it can´t work on 4G (of course I bought it so it is cause I didn´t need). This is the main difference.

I really don't understand because my device is working with the B4 (1700) band but it is not a real Global version. :silly:

Why do you say that has B4? Where you saw it?
Look at this info, just 4G apparted, this is a non-global version from a chinese seller you can find these specs;
4G FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600
TD LTE B38：2600 /B39：1900/ B40：2300 /B41：2500 MHz
TD or TDD is the LTE FOR China, look up FDD LTE bands.
And this is a Global version, seller usually put in a red highlighted the bands added
4G: FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600 /B4:1700 /B20:800;
TD LTE B38：2600 / B40：2300
Differences here are bands 4 for Latin America and guess some regions of Asia and maybe others and band 20 for Spain.

I mentioned that because my 4g shouldn't work but it appears in the notification bar.
I bought the "Official Global ROM" (I saw it is not the Global Version)
FDD LTE B3:1800/B1:2100/B7:2600/B5:850/B8:900MHz
TDD LTE B34:2100/B38:2600/B39:1900/B40:2300/B41:2500MHz
This confuses me :silly:

No, if your device hasn´t these two added bands definitely it´s not a global version (global rom concept mean nothing for this) is a hardware limitation although can work within 4G depending on your company carrier in some of the 5 frequencies enabled.
I have a Chinese RN5, it has loads of bands dudes. The chance of it not working on your network are slim.
As for the headphones dilemma, they do not hiss or produce low volume. Altho if you pair them with Xiaomi Pro HD which have a high impedance then you will notice a lack in volume. That can be easily fixed with Dolby Atmos the Magisk Module.
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a Redmi 5 Plus 4GB/64GB for a person in Amazon.es but I need the one that has LTE Band4 [this is because I'll give it to a person who lives in Argentina where they use Band4/AWS (1700 and 2100 Mhz)]
According to Xiaomi, Spanish version has Band 4: https://www.mi.com/es/redmi-5-plus/specs/
However in Amazon I could end up getting another variant, because they are all Dispatched by Amazon, but sold by different vendors across Europe.
So is there any way to check if the Phone truly has band 4 without putting a SIM? Reading the firmware model number, using some android app or something like that? I'm planning on getting one, confirm this, and if it doesn't have band4, return it the next day. (I live in Spain so I don't have Band 4 here to test).
Thanks a lot
Global version has bands 4 and 20.
The box is orange, it says Redmi instead of Chinese letters and has a sticker that says global version on the side.
On the back of the phone it's written the model number. It should be MEG7 for global version.
