Mi 5 from China has Band 5 when flashed with Indian ROM?

Im thinking to buy a Mi 5 from china from sites like banggood, gearbest etc.
The product description shows only LTE bands 1800 2100 2600
If I flash it with Global ROM/ Indian ROM will it unlock the bands for Indian market ?
I need LTE Band 5, 850 for Jio VoLTE to work properly.
Please help should i get it or not? Mi 5 64gb is unavailable in India.

b20?

I looked at EU sellers and all mi 9t are k20, not k20 pro. So I looked at Chinese sellers, but no k20 pro I found supports band 20? Is that correct? Will there be mi 9t pro or something? If so - when?

The K20 and K20 Pro, so far, have only officially been released in China so only have Chinese bands and so don't have band 20. The Mi 9T is the international version of the K20 and had extra bands opened up. So far the Mi 9T Pro is only a rumour, but seems likely, though some rumours say it will be released only in Russia. There are also rumours that the K20 Pro will be released as the POCO F2, but this is less likely. Whatever happens, nobody knows when a international Pro version is going to appear.
If you want the Pro version and need band 20, then you'll need to wait and see. However, do a bit of research and see if you can live without band 20. For example, in the UK, it would be possible to use it on the EE network mostly and suffer only in rural or heavily built areas. But all other UK networks rely more heavily on band 20 and so would not be possible to use the phone.

Chinese version does not support band 20

Xiaomi redmi k20 pro UK networks

So I've just bought thr 256gb/8gb variant and it did say on the website that it is compatible in the UK, I'm on EE and that is a supposed supported network, just wondering if they're are any people in the UK on here who gave bought the k20 pro variant and not the mi variant and how the network coverage has been? Any feedback will be great

I'm in South Wales with the K20 pro model and have had no issue at all!
I travel a lot with work and it's fine.
EE doesn't use the band's that are missing between the K20 pro and 9t pro so you'll be fine :good:

Hi everyone. Hope someone can help, I have a redmi k20pro and cannot seem to get a 4G data signal. I put my wife's o2 sim into the phone and it gets 4G straight away, then when I put my sim back in it gets 4G for awhile then dissapears again. Can anyone maybe help or know what may be wrong ? Thanks in advance

800mhz and 2600mhz seemingly ?

Then that's the problem, K20 Pro doesn't have the important LTE bands for Europe especially B20 and B28, Perhaps O2 have a band which K20 Pro has. You were better buying Mi 9T pro and not K20 pro which has the European bands

I can manually go in and select Vodafone 4G UK and it works then will eventually revert back to H+

Then maybe the signal is weak?

EE is your best bet, all bands are covered in the K20 Pro.
Vodafone and 3 should be OK, they both use B20, which is missing, but they both also use other bands extensively too. It does sound like you're unlucky and in a weak signal area.
O2 will give worst coverage, as they used to only use B20. They've added other bands in major towns and cities so will get some coverage now, but you'll not get 4G once you go semi-rural and beyond.

Can confirm EE works really well, I get 4g pretty much everywhere, Voda uses band 20 so for sure you will have issues

this is because Vodafone UK mostly relies on Band 20 which the K20 Pro does not support. For the best 4G reception go with EE as they mainly use B3 and B7

Can Redmi K20 pro flash Xiaomi 9T pro's software thus unlocking LTE bands?

I am think about buying Redmi K30 pro and use it in the US. I was told I should wait for the international version because of LTE bands. But I am thinking if this kind of unlocking mechanism can be done on the predecessor, I don't have to wait. Thanks!!!

It's not possible to unlock LTE bands on K20 Pro like it's not possible to do it in any newer phone.
