I got this list via QRCT.
There are total 187 items in NV Item #28874 (RFNV_LTE_CA_BW_CLASS_COMBO_I).
After removing duplicate items, I got 71 items.
I hope this is useful.

Unfortunately, the CA combos are locked per MCC or MCC/MNC combo. Here is the what you get per provider in 4.5.6

Quite frustrating that virtually all Qualcomm devices are locked per region like this, so you can't take full advantage of the hardware.
For example, in Canada, B29/B30 is used, but it is locked out if the phone is in Canada.

op5 not support LTE CA "B1+B3+B8"

Ok so that means it doesn't cover some combo of 3 of these bands for carrier Smart Philippines bands 1, 3, 5, 28
Also what does 28C mean?

For a true international rom it should support all bands...
Reason it might not could be battery drain... As it scans all those bands continually it might use more battery...

Yes, OnePlus doesn't cover all of combination of Band 3.
There are three types of LTE CA:
1. Inter-band CA : B7+B28
2. Intra-band CA: B28 + B28
3. Intra-band contiguous CA: B28C

Thanks a million sir

@snowwolf725 i can make modifly lte ca combination B1+B3+B7 to B1+B3+B8
thank

I have made above information into nice table, colored and all for contiguous, 2ca, 3ca with contiguous and 3ca.

Given that the underlying chipset remains the same for the 5T, may we safely assume the listed band combinations for the 5 apply to the 5T as well?

There seem to be changes after i did quick compare. Those changes seem to be also in the Op5 android 8 beta rom. So I will unify those 2 in coming days.

I have updated the table to include CA combinations for 5 and 5T. From Android 8, OP5 gets same CA combinations as 5T.

[Q] How to get off of Tmobile EDGE in the US (c6603 model)

Would like an answer from US residents on tmobile in the US with the c6603 model only.
Does any US resident have lte or any 2,3,4g using the c6603?
If so which did you flash and can I get a screenshot of the APN settings that worked for you

Well i have been browsing the q&A section and general since i got the phone in march everyday. So if you can point me in the right direction to the thread that answers this specific question. I have seen plenty of us att c6603 threads and and the new c6606 on tmobile threads and the people who WANT to get the c6603 model and use it on us carriers. I even followed the lte in canada thread to see what I could pull from there. So if you can point me in the right direction and not to some thread which has a speculative answer? Because there are a lot of people who dont have this model or who are not on the us carrier of tmobile who are forming opinions on here. I personally assumed that once the tmobile version c6606 dropped that I could flash the ftf basebands for that onto my c6603 and it would work
So if you can lead me the way i would greatly appreciate it
[edge network is killing me bro]
Here is the C6606 stock firmware - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361750
You could try the same method of flashing just the baseband from it that the people in the thread regarding LTE in Canada have used and see if that works for you.
I don't have a C6606 or live in the US, but I thought at least having the firmware from the C6606 would be a good start

Thank you very much:good:. I will try it in a few seconds.
I will still need the correct apn settings to know if it works for sure. I have called tmobile several times a month for the past 3 months and have gotten several different variations of settings.
Thanks again one step closer to getting off the edge :victory:

I will still need the correct apn settings to know if it works for sure. I have called tmobile several times a month for the past 3 months and have gotten several different variations of settings.
Thanks again one step closer to getting off the edge :victory:

You're welcome. I'm afraid I cannot help with the APN settings as I live in the UK
I can suggest asking someone here that has the phone to take a look at their preexisting settings for you, maybe the person that posted the firmware I linked you to.
Good luck
Edit: Here is the method used to get LTE in Canada - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41648434
In theory, the method should be the same for you, apart from the APN settings. It goes without saying that all this is at your own risk, of course.

Have you tried Settings -> Xperia -> Internet settings? That's how I got the APN settings for my phone when I first got it. I don't know if it will retrieve LTE settings or not, but it's worth a try.

Ok i flashed the c6606 baseband only and I have a

also when I go to try and set and apn it does not save it remains blank and when I do try the internet settings it says please insert sim
Any suggestions on what is the problem?
and it keeps rebooting on its own
Sooo now i have flashed back to zl basebands because just flashing the c6606 baseband was not recognizing my sim card

Yes but you stated that you needed these settings for the C6603 in your first post, which has HSDPA basebands of 850 / 900 / 2100 and LTE bands of 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 which means you don't have T-Mobile HSDPA or LTE so your not gonna need the fast.tmobile.com apn... You need the C6602 to get T-Mobile's 4G HSDPA speeds and you'll need their newly released C6606 to get their newly farmed LTE but it has a locked bootloader and an ugly 'T-Mobile' tattoo on the back.
Here, this will get your mms working. You want the MMSC & apn type from this pic to get your mms working.

Exclusive to tmobile means what to me as a c6603 user? Does that mean they block any other phone or sim that tries to use it? because I tried flashing the c6606 basebands and it would not recognize my sim
So still no LTE....so no one else has this problem?
T Mobile uses a different LTE band requiring different radio hardware....same as their 3G operates on the 2100/1700mhz frequency range and requires radio hardware of picking this 3G up...hence you only get EDGE
One of the reasons I ditched my T Mobile account for an AT & T account because you can at least use 3G with AT & T as it uses the 850Mhz frequency.
But unless you have the correct hardware you will not get 4G no matter what APN's or firmware you flash.
I do not live in the US but I travel there often (2-3 times a year) and I have the 6603 - before that a HTC One X and iPhone 5 - no LTE just 3G because of hardware

Xperia Z(c6603) : LTE on AT&T by ZL(c6506) baseband method.

I have been following the "LTE in Canada" thread, but I haven't seen any confirmation of this working on AT&T. Is there anyone out there that has this working pn their AT&T service? Screen shots of speed tests, please!
If it is not possible to do this for AT&T like it is for Rogers and Fido, can someone please explain why not?
Thank you. I kno the T-Mo xperia z(6606) is out, but it is network locked.

1. Dont post questions in General, thread now moved to Q&A.
2. If you recive an answer that you dont agree with, then it's best to ignore the said answer and move on, lets behave in a more mature manner please.

Couple things: First is simply personal preference and fear of the unknown. Historically, Qualcomm has had the best performance on US LTE bands. The second is a second order effect: While QCOM has their own integrated GNSS, the Samsung modem does not and uses Broadcom. I've seen extensive testing of the BRCM chip and its raw performance is horrific at times (blocks off, not meters). QCOM's GNSS solution is far more robust.

Unlock 800band of op3t chinese version (a3010)

Hello, I happen to have an op3t Chinese version (a3010) and it gets me 4g coverage but not very good ... He told me that unlocking that band could "convert" it into European version ... Someone who has done something about this? thanks

It's really sucks, not able to use default dialer.. when I see phone information by dialling *#*#4636#*#*, it's shows LTE provisioned enabled.. and in sim n network setting also it's enabled.. but still it won't show up in status bar...
Will I face same prob, if I port to Airtel ?

Possible to get USA LTE bands working?

Hey, I am a first time user of xda and I don't know much about modding android devices as I am more experienced with nintendo devices. I am getting the MI A2 and do not want a large bricking risk. I have heard of a guide that unlocks more bands on a Qualcomm device. I am not sure of the risk of trying this and would like to see if anyone knows of it's possibilities.
I have looked a long time for an android phone as I recently made the switch from Apple as I believe it is a horrible company. It seems that the best value phones with the newest Operating Systems come from China. I'm sure everyone would love to see a $400 phone here in the US go for $200 and be fully compatible with AT&T and T-mobile.
(Edit) Link to the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269
From my understanding this thread says that Qualcomm SOCs have cellular radios compatible with many bands and standards, but locks are placed in software for legal or business reasons.
Welcome to the Android forums.
I've never heard of 'unlocking bands'. My understanding is the bands advertised for the version you get (Global, North America, etc etc), are the only bands on the phone.
The MiA2 does have LTE bands that work with T-Mo. I believe the 2 bands that work are the 2 primary bands T-Mo uses. T-Mo 71 is the new 600 MHz, which very few phones have (but it would certainly be nice to have). But the 2 it has are B2 and B4, again, their most prominently used I think. These 2 also cover AT&T.
2G and 3G are completely covered. I personally don't use data so just switch to 2G for the better building penetration.
Cheers

That's the thing, I'm worried to try it because I don't want my only phone to end up a brick. I am not sure if bricked, it would be repairable. As I said I am new to android. I just want to know the risks.
No, you cannot "UNLOCK" bands. It's mostly hardware controlled or very low level firmware.
If the manufacturer could enable it, they probably would.
I used qxdm and unlocked the extra bands. Manufacurers that release several variants of the phone will often times not change their manufacturing process, just the firmware and software. The Mi a2 to 6x conversion is a good example. They support different bands, although they are the same hardware. I was able to enable all bands for TMobile USA. This actually works very well. The sd660 has support for all bands, it is just a matter of software enabling it and the antennas being built in.
This is the tutorial I followed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
I also downloaded "hidden android settings" by 0alex, open it and select radio info, then tap the dropdown under "set preferred network type" and choose the "LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL)"
then exit the app and go to settings > Network and internet > Mobile Network, press the Advanced option, then make sure your preferred network type is set to 4g. This gives me the best results in the USA.
I am currently working on getting VoLTE up and running because every time I get a call it switches to 3g.
Frequency support is first and foremost a matter of hardware, particularly power amplifiers, filters and antennas. It is true that the integrated modems of modern SoCs - including the Snapdragon 660 used in the A2 - can handle many frequency bands but as you can see in below diagram (btw from Qualcomm, the manufacturer of the Snapdragon) there are much more components involved to actually render a device compatible to the various frequency bands:

}
I'm not sure what exactly you have done to your phone as the linked tutorial is four years old and refers to various outdated methods and Android versions which do not work on the Xiaomi A2. But the best you might have achieved by those QPST operations is making your phone believe it can handle additional frequency bands when in fact it can't because it lacks the necessary hardware. That can actually adversely affect your phone's performance as it will attempt to connect to cells operating in those "unlocked" frequency bands but due to its inappropriate hardware the radio link will be bad or even completely break down leaving you without a signal. Especially for a phone supporting 4x4 MIMO (LTE category 12) the antennas, amplifiers and filters require a lot of fine tuning which you can't do by software.
Would you perhaps have some screenshots of your phone actually being attached to a cell in an unlocked frequency band (LTE Discovery does show this kind of information) and could you perhaps also perform a speedtest to see if the throughput is appropriate?
Unless we have some bullet-proof evidence of such modification delivering the usual performance on the unlocked frequency bands I would warn anyone against messing around with their phone's low-level radio configuration.

i have bought this phones also in hopes of using it with metropcs 4g lte . I have looked on the computer for days now without really getting any good info until i saw this post. i am anxiously awaited more info from you all. especially inquistor. u seem to know what your talking about.
In a day I had a Nexus 5 I bought in USA and couldn't use Israeli 4G because of the same problem. I've managed to do what you're looking for.
Many years have passed since then, but maybe this can still help you in your quest.

I did. I used qxdm 04.00.124. It has more access than what is provided in qxdm 3. Qualcomm changed a few places that the configs were stored. If you can get a hold of qxdm 4+ then it should work. the trouble is that it is not widely available and is not cracked. so you have to pay or know someone who owns it (my case). I also had to modify a few things in the file editor from qxdm. (cant remember what it was called) but I had to add the frequencies to the t-mobile usa tables. If someone wants to dig around, I can verify it is possible. It has been a bit and I thought others found out as well. I may make a guide if nobody else does soon. I just don't have a ton of time lately. I also would have to re-learn what I did. it was like a month ago..

.... in the Guides, News & Discussions area. 4x4 does not work, but 2x2 does, but there are some more bands that can be unlocked. I am having trouble making a simple guide. Every device has tuning data that is slightly different and some tuning has to be done for the lower frequencies because it was not done at the factory.
