Hi! I have been reading many posts trying to figure out if this is possible, so I would appreciate any assistance.
My phone Is EMEA Version, which only has LTE Bands 800, 1800 and 2600, and my carrier uses 1900, 2100.
Is possible to unlock those bands?
Thanks!

No as far as I can tell. We have a hardware lock on the bands, not just software.

Is it possible to enabel lte 2600 ?
1. Post these types of things in the general section.
2. The i957 is dual-band LTE, which I believe refers to the 1800, and 2600 bands... Our skyrocket cousin can use 2600 band as well, so all signs point to yes.
Spec Sheet: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/SGH-I957ZKAATT-specs
have you a solution how to activate lte 2600?
lte 2.6 is locked by sowtwere or by hardwear?
any solution how to activate lte 2600 in i957 ???????
I am needing a phone that will support all bands in the UK and for ATT in the US.
Will any version of the HTC One have the capabilities of what I am needing?
If so, is there any software tweeks that are needed?
Thank you for your time,
Dustin

A developer edition or an AT&T phone should work just fine right out of the box. The AT&T phone may need unlocked to work overseas but that is cheap or free Search sieempi unlock
So the ATT one has all the capable bands needed for US and UK market?
2G capabilities- GSM 900, GSM 1800
3G capabilities- UMTS 900, UMTS 2100
4G capabilities- LTE 800, LTE 1800, LTE 2600
Just making sure before I buy one.
Thanks

Thanks for that but it still doesnt answer the question if the other bands can be unlocked via software.

As far as I know their's nothing to unlock. That's all the band's it has
I found this 》》 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467860
I'm thinking of getting the pure in the US and using it up in Canada. Wondering if it'll work. I've heard mixed things about the LTE bands and some saying that 3G won't work at all.
Much obliged.

It will work perfect, 100%
Telus sells the XT1097, your looking at the XT1095 out the US just don't pick the AT&T model as it has a locked boot loader that seems cant be unlocked at all..... The Telus model, supposed to have the quickest updates... well thats a lie.... there is no update as of today... and no indication of when either...
I was able to buy a XT1095. I still haven't received it but now all I can think about is "What if I need to use the warranty for some reason?". Did anyone in Canada have to go through that?

I asked a similar question (but for Telus) on howard forums. This is the response i received o0vL
"Moto X - Pure Edition (GSM Unlocked with T-Mo SIM - XT1095):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS), 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17)
Telus Moto X Specs
4G LTE: (Bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7,17, 29)
4G (HSPA): 2100MHz (Band I) / 1900MHz (Band II) / 1700MHz (Band IV) / 850MHz (Band V) / 900MHz (Band VIII)
Seems like the Pure Edition is missing band 29, where its available on the Telus version. Not sure if it will affect the LTE connection"

On another thread on this site, someone mentioned that the hardware is the exact same on the canadian model as it is on the pure edition model, the only difference is the firmware. So it seems to me that a radio flash might be required in order to receive the proper bands. I'd love confirmation on this, as I plan on using motomaker in the US to build my phone.

You can't actually change the modem files, you must you the original meant for the phone. The XT1095 supports all of the 2G,3G and 4G bands that Rogers/Bell/Telus/Fido/Virgin/Koodo/Wind/Mobilicity use in Canada. You don't need to do anything but insert your nano sim and possibly program the APN to get network data.

thanks for the reply Steve, so the lack of band 29 shouldn't be an issue? LTE speeds should be achievable?
thanks again,
Hi, guys!
I am flying to the States for work and I am thinking about getting a 64gb Moto X 2014 and I was wondering if it´s a good idea.
I am living in the UK and I´m an O2 user, and according to this website, O2 has only 800 band right here:
"O2 spent £550,000,000 to secure 2 x 10MHz of 800MHz spectrum, but didn’t come away with any 2.6GHz and has no 1.8GHz either."
Moto X, according to the website, is compatible only with this LTE networks:
"Moto X - Pure Edition (GSM Unlocked with T-Mo SIM - XT1095):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS), 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17)
So, my question is... Will I be able to use this mobile here in the UK? Will I find issues with the calls, the 3g or the 4g? Any problem with the bands, at last?
I swear I have been reading this morning a lot of articles but I'm a NERD in telecommunications
I would really appreciate if you guys could give me a hand here because I´m departing quite soon
Thanks in advance!
As far as I can 4g will not work because the phone does not support O2 bands but 3g should work fine.

Thanks, dude... Isn´t there any way to make that work? Here they don't sell the 64gb and I really need that amount of space
Thanks again!

It is a physical limitation rather than a software one. So most likely, there is no way to change/fix it.
EDIT: It seems that 3's and EE's 4g have compatible bands so if you are willing to switch to one of them it might work.
3 supports band 3 (1800 Mhz) same with EE.

NOTE: haven't 3 proposed a buyout of O2?

Correct! I heard that 2 weeks ago and it's going to be great for O2 customers... 3 is now a HUGE company here in the UK.
It looks like I will end up getting it because it will work... And I don´t want to stay with O2 anyway
Thanks, guys!
Hey! Let´s go for the next level...
What about the Droid Turbo?
Bands
LTE Cat 4 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)
CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Carrier Aggregation (B4+13)
Any idea? I already decided to leave O2 and go to EE or 3, will I be able to use it with 1800 band?
Thanks again!
The Turbo have band 3, which should be compatible with 3 and EE, BUT I think it is carrier locked to Verizon and I am not sure if you can unlock it or not.

Awesome! Thanks! Moto X is my choice
I need to be able to use this phone and i need it to work with :TDD/2600 MHz/band 38.
I hope there is a way. No need to trow a good phone just for that.
Hello fotbal5,
I9305 supports Quad-Band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz). No way to unlock more LTE bands.
Hmmm you're mixing bands. The ones you say are for GSM (2G). For LTE (4G) the I9305 supports 800/1800/2600 but 2600 band 7 not 38 as OP asked
