Does anybody knows if it will be possible to change the bands from Asian verision to American version just by changing the ROM, or is it a harware matter. I was wondering, because I saw in my Asian version the American bands but do not connect.
Thanks,
Not possible.. its a hardware issue. No antenna for those bands.
do a search in the forum for a more full explanation.

I read that the official release of the S730 for the US will be 3G quad band.
I have a S730 thats is only for 2100. Will be the implementation of the other frequencies be software or hardware based ?
If it's SW would it be possible for my phone to work in quad band ?
Any ideas ?
If they included the radio for the other frequencies than a software flash should make it work, but I doubt they put the radios in for our frequencies here. I would be interested in knowing as well, but we shall see as the time gets closer
This was linked in another post. So their choices are clear, hopefully they chose to use the chip that supports all the freqs; but I doubt it, since the model IDs are different: WING220 (the EU version we all have) and the WING200 (the North American model).
Now let's see someone get the TV out working.
Seriously, we will see if writing NV item 0148 can also fix this issue.
Hi,
I bought my HTC diamond in the US, but live in europe.
Obviously, I can't connect to the 3g network here.
Is there anything I could do? If I install European ROM will it work?
if so - which ROM should I install?
My current ROM - 1.93.422.4 WWE, 08/13/08
Thanks for your help,
Mike
It is not about the ROM but the hardware of the Diamond. There are different hardware revisions. Go to bootloader and check what you have.
It is something like DIAM100
Diam110, 64m, spl-1.93.0000
anything i can do?
thanks man!

Most european diamonds are diam100 i think, you need to check what bands you diamond supports then check the bands the network/s you wanna use, use for there 3G/HSDPA Services, see if any are compatible
how do i check which bands my diamond supports?
I just had a look on google for you mate and this is what i came up with
The US 3G unlocked Diamond supports AT&T's 850/1900MHz HSDPA network, but not T-Mobile's US 3G bands. It is dual band 3G, so there's also no support for Euro 3G. It's a quad band GSM world phone with EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz), and that means you can make a phone call anywhere in the world GSM service is available, and you'll have access to the slower GPRS and EDGE data networks across the world. Since it's unlocked, you can use it with any carrier's SIM.
So it looks like it duznt support Euro 3G Bands, Sorry
thats a shame..
thanks anyway
thats a shame..
thanks anyway
I cant get 3G/HSDPA with orange here anyway, it dont bother me, i just steal broadband from unsecure wifi routers lol
*Double Post* Thats wot u get for stealing broadband lol
I'm in an opposites position here...
Live in the US with a European DIAM100...lol
Hello I have a European and like to trade it for a US version.
Also I'm sure like in in almost any Phones the UMTS Antenna is the same it is only limited by the Software (Radio) Big guys even on XDA developers denid that on the new Google Nexus one but HTC/Google confirmed it is ONly the "RADIO". GUess there is the whole world with one Standard and USA/ Canada with least than 6 different standards not compatibel to the rest of the World. THe Hardware guys pruduce for this development Country USA 7 extra and incompatibel HArdware version. It is haard to beleive and from any manufacture standpoint totaly inefficent.
So i would try first the regular Radios and good luck.
As the title says, i need to know since i wont find anything anywhere.
Next month ill be buying the Nexus 6 comming from a note 3
Whats the difference in model number? Eg XT1100, XT1103
International and US version of the phone.
Is there any hardware specific modem changes that i should be aware of before buying it?
Does it matters to me? (Living in Sweden)
Are all custom roms compatible with both model numbers?
Thanks in advance.
International model (XT1100) is made for GSM, as networks in the developed world are all GSM.
N. America model (XT1103) is backwards-compatible with CDMA2000, and also supports some LTE bands unique to the US (Sprint & Verizon, mostly).
Unless noted otherwise by the dev, all the roms here are supported on both models.

Thanks! Great info

The 1103 US version has a different radio chip wich supports different LTE bands then the 1100 World (including EU) version.
Custom ROMs work on both models. No hardware changes (SD805 and 3GB RAM on both).
Only the radio hardware is different.
The XT1103 supports CDMA from the stone-age, don't know why the americans (VZW/Sprint) haven't moved on yet.
The XT1100 supports the required LTE bands to be used in Sweden. Most likely the common EU Bands (Band 3/Band 7/Band 20).
The XT1103 supports 3 and 7, but not 20 which is the main LTE band in European countries.
Hey guys.
As title says. I bought and SM-N920C whilst in UAE but I live in South America so want to know if possible to flash the SM-N920G region specific modem and base band seeing as I am experiencing reception issues on the phone. I am getting 4g just fine but I am finding that I get poor quality signal. Only two bars most of the time.
I know the South America region specific Note 5 is SM-N920G so I wanted to know if I would be able to flash the modem and baseband from that model onto my SM-N920C?
Would this help improve signal reception?

It's not possible to flash N920G modem and bootloaders on N920C. My best recommendation would be to potentially try other modems and bootloaders for countries that use similar bands to yours. But the problem is still likely to remain as the bands supported by N920C are different to those supported by N920G.

Hey brother,
Thanks for the reply. As far as I understand both the n920c and n920g support LTE bands 1-12 the only differences are above those.
I only use bands 1-7 so given they both use these same bands is it still not possible? Are there any hardware differences or are they the same phone in that respect?
Thanks!

Unfortunately you still cannot flash the modem and bootloaders because partitions sizes are likely to be different and the phone itself will not let you flash them.

Where you able to find any solution to make it work? im having that problem right now, i have a N920C but cant make it work in these bands in Canada, i bought it because i broke my N920G and just as you said, i thought they supported the same bands
I live in Europe most of the time but am periodically back in the U.S. for months at a time. The different OnePlus 3T models support different 4G bands.
I'm wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to flash a ROM for the N. American model to a European model in order to get 4G support in the U.S.? In other words, are the 4G bands a matter of hardware or software?
There are no different ROMs for American, Chinese and European OxygenOS. Only difference is in the factory bundled encrypted modem partitions which contains the IMEI and regional band frequencies lock-down as to not anger military or other organizations that may be using those bands in those countries.
Network support is mediated by a mix of hardware and software. Unfortunately, flashing a ROM will not be able to enable greater comparability. It supposedly is possible to flash radio images, which typically isn't changed during ROM updates, though it is a bit sketchy and can only unlock a few bands. You can read up on it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-unlock-additional-lte-bands-t3519563
Some bands are in both. Maybe it's enough for you.
