Enable LTE band 28 on Mi 8 - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I would like to enable LTE 28 band (700 MHz) on my Xiaomi Mi 8. Is this technically possible? How?
Thanks for your help.

I think it's not possible. Many users tried that on other phones without any success.

Impossible, the Mi 8 do not have the 28 band

Oddly enough, the Mi 8 Lite genuine factory global version does have band 28 700mhz.
Beware because the CN versions have a different set of bands and no B28.

Any way to enable band 40 on LTE?

My device is XT 1092, stock ROM. I bought it unlocked within my country, but the recently offered LTE services in my country support only band 40. So, is there some way I can flash some other modem/radios which have band 40 enabled?

Impossible. Physically it does not have band 40 capabilities. However there is one moto x 2014 model which does have band 40, the XT1085 which is from China. It is the only one that can connect to band 40 lte.

Enable other LTE bands?

I was curious if it was possible to enable frequences not officially supported on the Mi 9. I did a quick search and found quite a bit of enabling additional bands on other phones( lg, samsung, moto) but see nothing for xiaomi and more specifically mi 9. I was hoping to enable band 71 600mhz for T-mobile USA. Has anyone attempted to turn on other LTE bands and was sucessful? Thanks!

i dont think u can enable other bands because global an chinese model dont have the same modem
Mi 9 uses SD855 and the difference in just between the locked and unlocked band! i have a Chinese Mi 9 and i could successfully unlock CA on B3 badB7 but it was unstable in changing between H+ and 4G+

Question Question about 4G bands

Hello, I live in Brazil and here it is common for Xiaomi devices of Indian origin to be sold. I bought a Redmi 9Power which is Indian but I found that the Redmi 9T is the same device.
The Indian version that is the 9Power has some problems on the Brazilian 4G because of the bands it supports (1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41), while the 9T supports bands that are most used around here (1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41).
I would like to know if doing the firmware change already enables these bands I need, or if there is some hardware limitation that prevents this from being done. I intend to change the firmware of the 9Power for the 9T.
Thanks in advance.
