Greetings!
I see that there are many different threads asking about what bands are on each model. I have made a basic spreadsheet that has the various bands by model type. I have noted the resource that I have used for this. I'm still missing the SM920c model. If there are any mistakes or additional items please let me know and I will adjust accordingly.

I hope this is helpful for those importing and ordering for their specific needs.
Thanks for the time and effort
Nice job! This is what i've been looking for. I can't believe these devices are so different.
You are welcome! If someone has the SM-920C model and send me a picture from the back of the box this would be helpful!
I have a SM-N920C but unfortunately nothing is mentioned on the box about supported bands.
Will see next week if European bands are supported by this model
Check *#2263# under Band Selection
Already checked that and it looks promising. Though not sure if all those bands are supported...

Hi, thank you for your efforts on this.
Unfortunately, I'm not a tech person at all and don't really understand how to determine an answer to my question. I'm wondering if you can answer this for me:
I have a Note 5 that's the n920w8 model. It works with my Canadian carrier, Wind, which is AWS 1700/2100 to which they say, "20 megahertz AWS-1" (whatever that means). But they don't offer LTE yet (though they're working on it).
However, it's only 32gb. I've been looking to importing an international version that's unlocked and has dual sim. Its model number is N9208. However, I can't find a definite answer online of whether the imported version will work with my provider and I can't afford that $1000 gamble.
If I'm reading your chart correctly, the difference between the two is that the W model has 1700 and 2100 but the 920 only has the 2100. You've noted on the right that Wind uses that 1700. Since you didn't note on it, is the 2100 in your chart also Wind?
In short, should I import this phone?
Thank you very much.
Thanks for your work on that
No GN5 is compatible with 2600mhz 4G?
Best choice to import in France is choosing a N9208 ?
I can already confirm band 20 is supported by the SM-N920C.
And band 3 as well.
Can someone please confirm... According to this spreadsheet. The hongkong version N9200 and the N9208 will get LTE on the Canadian Rogers network?
I picked up a Silver Titanium Duo Sim version and it definitely works with Fido's LTE.
I am using n9208 on Rogers with lte
Sent from my SM-N9208 using XDA Free mobile app
Has anyone got the N9200 (dual sim) in the UK? I have seen it being advertised as supporting bands 20/26 for LTE.
@aez and @Deliximus, can I ask where you guys got your phones? And are either of you able to confirm they work on Wind? Is there a Wind shop near you you could pop into and check by having the drop a sim in? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Hmmm. I'm a bit confused as my T-Mobile Note has many more bands than what is on the website... See attachment. I wondering if the *#2263# is actually accurate?

I have the exact same bands on my N920C. I don't think those are all the supported ones, beacuse I believe the N920I has exactly the same displayed, but band 20 isn't working on that model...

Ah... That's what I thought. I believe the original list is indeed correct.
will a sprint note 5 work on ATT. I entered the serial number in on att website and it said it would work? would I still get lte
Hello.
Here is my situation : I just bought a honor 5c in france, from a french vendor.
To my surprise, I received a NEL-L51. Wich I thought was a chinese model that does not support every french frequency. According frequencycheck, or every source I could find over the net, it does NOT have B20 LTE and 3G 900mhz.
However, the seller I bought it from (FNAC) is not a small dodgy reseller. I don't think they would be selling something else than the official model for french market. And It seems that the NEM-L51 the model that is sold everywhere in france.
So I'm trying to understand. Is there a EU version NEM-L51 and a chinese one, with different frequency support ? Did Honor somehow add missing bands to NEM-L51 and stopped selling other models ? Are online specs somehow wrong ?
Eventually, how could I tell wich frequency the phone actually support ?
thanks in advance.
Check willmyphonework.net
I can find the china model, and india model specs but cant seem to find the global cor-l29 bands listed, all the official honor pages in europe just list it supports 4g lte... not very helpful for assessing carrier compatibility.
Anyone who has an L29 list their FDD LTE frequencies?

Usually it is listed (by law?) on the box of the device.
# * # 2846579 # * # * i think is the default engineering mode for huawei, so i would assume it would work for honor as well. Should be a menu in their that will list the bands.
Could also try LTE discovery app , or signal check, they i believe check what bands the phone has available to connect too.
I'm currently on the S10 Plus with the Exynos chipset and I'm looking for more information on my actual phone. According to the seller of this phone, it supports Band 12 but I've yet to connect to Band 12 according to LTE Discovery. I believe I have the South American version of the phone according to the phone box and the warranty info that came with it.
Is there any app that can tell me or USSD code that can divulge this information?

I don't know of any apps but I am fairly certain that the exynis version supports band 12 as previous exynis versions support 12 as well.
Hello,
I live in the US but purchased the Hong Kong model S21 Ultra, model SM-G9980. This model is using the Snapdragon chip set, and supports dual physical SIM. It supports LTE bands 2,4,12 yet it has not been aggregating any of the LTE bands in areas which I know a US model would.
As far as I'm aware, there is no access to a hidden network menu that will allow you to toggle carrier aggregation options.
I wanted to attempt installing the T-Mobile USA CSC, but Sammobile doesn't have any US model S21 Ultra firmware yet.
Does anyone know of a way I can enable carrier aggregation?
Update: I found the T-Mobile S21 Ultra firmware. Using a cracked version of ODIN I tried to install just the HOME_CSC for the T-Mobile variant. It immediately failed and now my phone won't even allow me into download mode again without showing "error while downloading."
I was able to bypass that and this time I filled in all the Taiwan G9980 but used the US XAA Home_CSC. This appeared to be working until the very end of the installation process when it finally said FAIL!
Update 2: I downloaded the Taiwan version of the firmware. Still not aggregating LTE. I also have a feeling 5G is not working because the phone won't aggregate the LTE anchor associated with N41 5G in my area. Really hoping to figure this out sooner than later!
Update 3: On a forum discussing the G9880 found HERE someone noted that 5G only worked in the "SIM 2" slot on that model. I switched my SIM to SIM2 and now the 5G icon is appearing, although I have checked *#0011# and noticed that it does not show any NR band connected, only Band 2 LTE. Note the photo below...

Samsung requires all binaries to match a signature for that specific firmware so you cannot flash US Home_CSC or other files on Taiwanese S21 even though it is Snapdragon.
So far only one person has figured out how to get CA and enable US bands on Asian Snapdragon model Galaxy series phone.
Their username is Mdyche82. Check their post here, sadly he lost the SSD before he could post a howto.
eSIM?
So, I've read in several places the US N20U has eSIM. I see the eSIM control app is in stalled. But that's all I see of it. Even an article here on XDA says all N20Us have eSIM except Japan, Korea and China. Can anyone confirm? And if so, how...

Hi @teedawgg! I work with website called cacombos.com where I have listed over 300 different devices and supported Carrier Aggregation combinations. I don't have any details from your device yet (you can contribute log to cacombos.com/contribute if you like) but I think your device doesn't have US CA combinations defined to modem firmware. Even switching firmware's doesn't change hardware combinations.
Seems second SIM slot activate 5G-support but it requires your device support 5G combinations (EN_DC) and I think HK model doesn't.
But please share QMDL log from your device to cacombos.com/contribute so then we know more what combinations your device modem support. I don't recommend buy device from other regions because this could be issue. Free to browse other devices on my site to learn more about Carrier Aggregation and Dual Connectivity supports.

Hello ! I am in Canada and I am still not convinced if I change my device for this one. But if i take one is will be the same model like you the SM-G9980. Because you can have it cheaper than directly than the company with a dual sim , another big advantage is the unlocked bootloader.
So I know that this model is directly without doing anything compatible with the carriers from the USA and Canada too for the 3G and 4G. I know that 5G is not yet compatible with. I know that the 5g bands in canada is n66 (1700) i don't know which one is for USA?
I'm curious if you have found something that works for unlocking bands network? And also if you can flash a firmware from another country? With your message it does not seem like it is possible? and what does it really bring more finally to use the SIM2? And honestly I don't care about 5G, not a lot of zones available, consuming a lot on the battery and more.. the 4G is still a lot faster.. I'm just curious about this.
Where you able to load a US firmware?

Canadian model of S20+ 5G doesn't support Carrier Aggregation used in India I think. Here is listed supported combinations: https://cacombos.com/device/SM-G986W
The Snapdragon 888 will allow aggregation of those two bands. ... There are three models of Samsung's latest: The Galaxy S21, the S21+ and the S21 Ultra.

Make sure you have correct region device because different region device support different combinations. These are defined to modem firmware. Best way buy own region device. Help me to keep cacombos.com updated by sending your device log to cacombos.com/contribute.

US model of Samsung doesn't support 38-3 CA combination. I don't have exactly your model combinations so you can contribute your device to https://cacombos.com/contribute
But I think your model very close for these:
S21 Ultra 5G US: https://cacombos.com/device/SM-G998U1
S21 US: https://cacombos.com/device/SM-G991U
Hello guys,
I might be able to help you guys out. I had this same issue with my S21 ultra bought from samsung us store but was able to find a work around. Not sure If this would work for you guys but you might as well give it a try. You will need to download QPST, QXDM and have samsung and qualcomm drivers installed.
1. Make sure to have usb debugging on
2. Connect phone to usb and open dialer type *#0808# and select RMNET+DM+MODEM+ADPL(MDM) and leave it there
3. Open QPST and add new port. ( you should see the phone showing up in one of the COM ports ) add this port.
4. Launch EFS Explorer (Start Clients menu)
5. Select phone port that shows an ESN. ( the one added before ) it should take a moment to load
6. Navigate to / nv / Item_files / modem / lte / rrc / cap folder
7. Backup the "prune_ca_combos" file to our computer
8. Delete this file from the phone and reboot.
You should be getting LTE+ after reboot. Let me know if this helped you guys out. @moksjm @FearLesS007 @teedawgg @Max128

The SM-G9980 Hong Kong variant is a unique model. It's not possible to flash most firmware to this device, the only alternatives are CHC (China) and BRI (Taiwan). At this time regardless of the firmware you flash your device isn't capable of enabling CA or 5G services. If it were me I would flash the original CSC (TGY) as it much more user friendly than the Taiwan or China firmware.
