Can I flash a X1a ROM on X1i phone?

Can I flash my X1i with a X1a ROM?
I have an UK phone and I am trying to make the 3G working in Brazil which operator uses GSM 1800 & UMTS 850.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Sure not a problem. dont forget hard spl

Yes you can flash it
But you can't enable or disable other band than the ones in the manual specification....

Thanks for your reply!
So, you are saying that after flashing I'll be able to use X1a's band only? Please clarify...
I know that the X1i comes with:
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
So, according to the bands above, the X1 is able to connect in FOUR GSM bands and FOUR UMTS bands, but unfortunately has only two combinations (the ones above) for X1i...
For my X1i's 3G network to work in Brazil, I need to use a combination like 1800's GSM band & 850's UMTS band.
Please correct me if I am wrong... thanks!

yes you can flash an x1a rom.
however, IT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THE 3G BANDS.
it's a hardware issue. the x1i is ONLY capable of 900, 1900, and 2100. changing the rom will NOT change this.

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense... why my X1i shows FOUR bands for GSM and FOUR bands for UMTS?
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
Looks like the X1i is 850 capable but only on 1900 GSM networks...
So it must have a way to combine the GSM(1800) with UMTS(850)...just wondering...

it doesn't have to make sense. that's just how it is.
why don't things fall up instead of falling down?
i don't know, that's just how it is.
you're on a pointless endeavor, my friend. people have tried.

if we just think this way, we never would have the hardSPL, cooked ROMs, etc...

Maybe the RIGHT people haven't tried yet...
I am not convinced yet... I still believin that might have a way to combine GSM(1800) & UMTS(850) on a X1i...
Please someone show me technical sources to proof that I am wrong!!!

[Q] How to enable 3G under 850 MHz in a S3 Mini i8190?

Gentlemen,
I recently bought a i8190 international version, but it is not connecting on the 3G network in Brazil, which is 850 MHz.
Flashing a custom MOD or using any other trick would help me connecting on 3G?
Thanks a lot.
Roger

Hi. I'm sorry to say that it won't be possible.
It is hardware related, and the reason why there's a i8190L which I believe got 3g over 850MHz.
Just switching modem software can brick it.

Thanks a lot for your reply, tys0n.
Any chance I could switch the hardware part that would let it work on 850 MHz?

[Q] Any chance of getting TD LTE radios?

Any chance of getting TD LTE radios?
2300 band 40.
Basically looking to make 4g work in India.

Neither the Turbo or the Maxx have band 40, so unfortunately that's not possible.

Thanks for the link Following and will go through.

Is it possible to edit the bands for carrier aggregation?

I understand that for XT1103, the CA bands are 2+13, 2+17, 4+5, 4+13, and 4+17; for XT1100 3+5 and 3+8.
However, my country telcos only support 3+7. Is it possible to edit the CA bands for 3+7? Or is this a hardware thing? I'm using XT1100

Bands are completely hardware thing You can't change them

I see, thanks
What a waste for me, able to use LTE but not LTE-A

That is not entirely true. You can enable some bands.

Maybe ask the OP of this thread. He figured out how to add LTE band 1 to the Nexus 6.

I know that they can be managed to put but I highly doubt if that'll be effective or not

It certainly worked fine on the Nexus 5 (enabling band 3 and 8 on the North American version). And although I haven't read much on enabling bands on the Nexus 6, I don't image it'll be any less effective.

Okay Thanks for the info btw

Nexus 5 still had some hardware restrictions for some bands. Some were possible to enable, some were not. Will require more investigation on the 805

For sure. But band 1 has already been enabled on the North American version, and @Azlun seems to be working on band 8. He hasn't mentioned anything about band 7 in his thread, and I have no idea about the carrier aggregation stuff.

Any mod to unlock the other lte bands and wifi ad on Strix/Tencent model?

Hello there!
So, I was wondering if it's possible to enable via software the wifi ad and the other lte bands and higher categories, like the ones in elite and ultimate models. Afaik, the comms hardware is the same.
So... Anyone?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Hardware is similar yes. But LTE chip and WIFI chip could be different so then LTE BANDS won't be the same as elite one. So answer would probably be no.
