Question Can We Unlock WiFi 6E(6GHz) by flashing to EU firmware? - Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+

Can we Unlock the Support to WiFi 6E(6GHz) support on the Snapdragon 888 by flashing the firmware to EU version?
Like the default China MIUI firmware won't support 6Ghz when it's not enabled in China, but I don't know if there's 6GHz RF and Antenna which could allow us to flash the phone to EU version, then able to connect my new router which supports WiFi 6E(6GHz).

I couldn't unlock by EU fw. To unlock 6GHz, We have to use Custom ROM that MIUI based such as Xiaomi.eu and MMX, and set Wi-Fi region(on additional settings) to UK or South Korea.

May I know if your hardware is bought from China, or it's the CA/US/EU/HK version?
I wasn't sure if the China version is having 6GHz antenna or not...

As far as I knew, it's the Xiaomi12/pro which is using Snap 8Gen1 which has the 6G support for sure.
Then I can flash the MMX or Xiaomi.eu to Xiaomi12 to get it support 6GHz.

There's no clarification from Xiaomi.eu official support 6Ghz wifi so far...
I just searched on their forum, there's basically nothing there

My device (Mi 11) is global version. and I have 6GHz router. I hope use 6GHz on AOSP roms such as Pixel experience and Evolution X but it can't cuz can't change wifi region on it. Pixel 7 and 7 Pro support 6GHz for sure after Dec 2022 update. I want Xiaomi 12 but Xiaomi 13 will support Wi-Fi 7 soon.

I purchased Redmi Note 3 Pro from banggood (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 5.5-inch 2GB RAM 16GB Snapdragon 650 Hexa-core 4G Smartphone)
After purchasing it I have come to know that there are several versions of the phone: regular, global, special edition. I would like to find out which version my phone is and most importantly, if it is capable of receiving bands 2 and 4 connections.
I am in the US and plan to ATT carrier with the phone. I have seen some threads where users have had success getting 4G on T-Mobile.
Check this out : https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/specs/note3
You have the regular Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon model (2GB/16GB) codenamed "kenzo"
It comes with 2 official MIUI ROMs & 1 unofficial MIUI ROM which is often flashed by third-party sellers like gearbest, banggood etc.
- China ROM : Chinese, English + No Google Apps
- Global ROM : Muti-language + Google Apps
- Vendor ROM : Multi-language + Google Apps + Malwares + Bloatware
After you receive the device with vendor ROM you can flash official MIUI ROM via EDL mode using PC

Thank you very much for the information, I have already flashed to MIUI 8.
One more quick question, do you know whether my redmi is compatible with ATT bands? I did a quick search on AT&T bands and found the following:
AT&T 4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently.

The specs from the page you provided state:
Supported bands: FDD-LTE (B1/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8), TD-LTE (B38/B39/B40/B41), TD-SCDMA (B34/B39), WCDMA (B1/B2/B4/B5/B8), GSM (B2/B3/B5/B8), CDMA1X/EVDO (BC0)

Check it here for compatibility : http://willmyphonework.net/
Also you may need to contact AT&T support and ask them if they support the required bands via cellular towers in your area. There are tools available online which show the heatmap of the coverage alongwith the band information of a given locality.

Kenzo doesnt support smartfren volte.
Max pro is new phone and it has firmware update for smartfren volte
Try using smart volte app for 4g voice volte app from playstore.

Volte switch need to enabled in EFS partition.
Efs is where our all imei number, mac adress, baseband stuff is stored.
Upgrading to higher android version doesnt give u volte.
So far only jio sim is enabled in india in 2016. After that xiaomi didnt care to push volte for other carrier. They can easily enable it by pushing update. its their way of marketing and forcing customer to buy new phone.

Question What are the differences between global/eu/chine variants?

Hey there,
I wanted to buy a Realme GT, but I don't know the differences between all those variants. I'm unsure, if I would be buying a smartphone, which would for example have a lack of some network frequencies I had to use, currently living in Germany.
Could anyone provide me some help? Also, I wanted to root this phone and get some mods, are there any specific variant ones or are they working on all phones?
Would be really nice, if I could get some help, thanks in advance
Realme GT GLOBAL -> have all languages, 5G almost all bands except united states and china Comes with google play
Realme GT EU (or Indian version) it does have lots of languages but for example it don't have portuguese(brazil) language. it does have all bands like realme gt global. It includes some apps or stuff that is related to indian and euro market. Come with google play
Realme GT CN - Chinese variant it comes with google play services installed but no google play store. It comes with a bunch of chinese apps that are kinda useless
Both EU ,CN and Global version will have all 5G bands in germany. (Cn version have less two 4G bands so its recommended to use O2 KPN provider)
All variants can be rooted homeweaver its not recommended as realme didnt released kernel sources yet so there is no twrp (and that make rooting and updating system very HARD without bricking)
Also it is not the best device to root as you will lose in screen fingerprint after rooting.
If you want to look for a phone to root, see oneplus or xiaomi or wait realme community grow with custom roms that can use fingerprint while rooted
Here you can compare different band and combination support:
Global: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202_11
China: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202
I recommend buy Global version if you will use device outside from China.

I just recently got one online for a real decent price thinking that I could load custom ROMs and all but there's nothing out there. Is there any hope for this device or is it better to just get rid of it and get another device which is more likely to be supported in the long run?

I am thinking of buying the Chinese version of this cell phone but I am somewhat hesitant about the issue of google services and updates, you say that it comes with google services installed but without the play store, so google apps and their services will work without problems if I only install the playstore?

Question Any version that has dual-sim and Wifi Calling on T-Mobile in US?

Even with some flashing/MSMtool/logkit/code/unlock/root, is it possible?
If Possible buy an Unlocked Version from Europe, China or India as Bootloader cannot be unlocked on an Carrier locked device from T-Mobile or Verizon.
Move to Oxygen OS 12.1 Global that supports 17 5G SA & NSA Bands, however with flashing other region firmware will not support carrier features like VoWiFI and VoNR and ViNR services.

It is unfortunate that it is extremely difficult to get dual VoWifi with latest oneplus phones in US. Even esim support would get the job done.
So the international version Cph2415 which has all the t-mobile bands support volte and wifi calling?

wait... you sure? Do you have any reference or did you buy a cph2415 and test it out? Is it T-Mobile only, or also ATT and Verizon and MVNOs?

Interesting.. need to do more research on this.

Currently 2 versions: CN and IN.
There are stock roms for the CN version but no Indian roms (maybe too soon).
Exactly the same phone except the bands depending on the region.
It seems to me that Xiaomi does not plan to sell it in markets other than China and India.
In this case, there will never be a global version.
It is on sale in Indian version on Amazon.in, not sure that he can send it elsewhere than in India.
Maybe Xioami Eu rom will provide roms for this phone.
The pro version will exist in a global version but unfortunately with a Mediatek soc.
but india version have other languages? or ony en /cn / india ? how do You known that pro will be elswhere? and when ?

The redmi note 12 is the continuation of the 11 and the 11 exists in a global version. When? for the 13 (CN presentation December 1 and the global version presentation February 27).
Never installed IN rom but the Indonesian has multi language.
"It seems to me that Xiaomi does not plan to sell it in markets other than China and India." added for now.
Maybe wait for a Global version.
Redmi Note 12 will be launched Brazil as global accord xiaomi did certificates
