Hello,
I dont have this phone but, I have the Mix 4 and the Mi 11 Ultra is the only other phone from their camp I know is similar. I use Mint mobile here in the states and I have little to no service. Is anyone here using the Chinese version of this phone (Mi 11 Ultra) on Mint mobile or even T-Mobile?
yes, I have mint mobile sim when i was in states.
I've enbaled vowifi so I can still call using wifi when i'm back to my country (NZ).
Everything works with mi11ultra (chinese version from aliexpress with MIUI EU rom)
Most of the bands work with Mint. I use Mint on my TMo Note 10+ 5g. The speeds are about half of what they were when I was using TMo compared to now with Mint. I really just think it's TMo crippling the Mint users on their network.
You can check compatibility here.

I didn't do my homework good enough and found out the uncompatibility (can't use mobile data, only voice/text) after I got the phone. I think I will need to flush the phone with a different ROM.
Does anyone know which ROM I should use, so that the phone will end up working with T-Mobile data network?
Thanks.
David
Are you sure?
I don't have this phone but I've had this issue with Xiaomi phones in the past, it turned out to be the APN settings.
I think it wasn't able to get the APN settings from the network, I found something online about my provider and it gave me 3G after I put it in. Then I found another APN for my provider and I got LTE working too.
k20 pro doesnt have bands 2 and 4
the newly released mi 9t pro (which is same as k20 pro) has bands 2 and 4.
i am not sure if Xiaomi has locked the bands on k20 pro with software or it's a hardware thing. if you can , return the phone

T-Mobile tech person was trying to walk me through to set APN. That didn't help. Eventually he asked for IMEI number and checked compatibility, which came back as only compatible with 2G for phone calls and texts.
Any moment 9T Pro firmware will be released, because the phone was released today so just way for it i think.

does the mi 9t pro firmware unlock the bands on the phone ?

I put a mi 9t pro ROM, MIUI Global 10.3.3.1 Stable 10.3.3.0 (PFKEUXM) on my K20 pro.
It boots up fine and runs fine, except, I can still not connect T-Mobile beyond 2G. When using a China Mobile SIM card (which connects to AT&T network), the status page shows HSPA,
So this seems to be a bad news, that bands 2 and 4, which are supported by Mi 9T Pro, seem to be hardware locked, that using a Mi 9t pro EU ROM does not unlock them.
Anyone has any other suggestions?
Thanks.
That is correct, hardware bands are locked into the chip and cannot be unlocked. Return the phone or sell it, if it really doesn't support the bands you require.
Btw. in which country are you? T-Mobile operates in many countries and with many different bands. Typically you should get 3G, unless you are in the US I think.
Yes, US. This phone supports Band 5 and I see Band 5 is on the T-Mobile support band list. But further check shows that T-Mobile uses band 5 for extremely limited use.
Oh well. Will look into selling it used.
Interested in UK users experiences with getting network features working fully.
Does WiFi calling, volte , visual voicemail, 4G+ and 5G, GPay et al work for you?
What ROM? What carrier?
Did you have to disable carrier checks? Or did it work out the box?
Also non region specific stuff too I guess , android auto experience etc etc.
I'm on a contract with EE.
VOLTE, WiFi calling, 4G+, 5G and Google Pay all working without any issues straight out the box. I don't use Android auto so I can't comment on that I'm afraid. CN ROM currently on MIUI 12.5 stable.
Great stuff. Thanks for the reply.
Where did you buy from ?

I bought mine from TradingShenzhen here: https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/mi-1...omi-mi-11-ultra-12gb256gb-ultimate-of-android
I didn't have to pay any import tax or custom fees. You can also buy from Wondamobile which they say won't incur any import charges either: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-11-ultra-5g-12gb-ram-256gb-dual-sim-unlocked.html
Yeah, I have used Wonda a few times. Going to go with TS this time to see how it goes.
Hopefully sell my old Note 20U soon.

I'm now in 12.5.2 EU rom, and on Vodafone UK.
Still no 4G+/CA. 5G does work but nPerf states it's 4G. VoLTE, VoWiFi, GPay all fine.
Be interested to know if anyone gets CA working on Vodafone UK with the Global or EEA rom. May have to wait to see what version is released in the UK.
Yip. I have ordered today from TS.
I have a EE work SIM, but use Sky personality. Will be interesting if all works with them as they are quite restrictive on device support.
I don't get 4G+ CA anywhere locally anyway, but bizarrely get 5G at the end of my harbour pier .
Will have to see if it's worth flashing global ROM next month after the UK release. Everything points to the CN being more than usable after tweaking though.
I was on Chinese stock, now global. Sky and EE work fine on both, I use them too.
Global obviously does have full Google services, not the mini pack that was on the Chinese but for some reason they use Google's phone, contacts and text app, so no native call recording. Global is still on original firmware where before flashing I had 12.5 which was a delight, hopefully 12.5 will hit the Global soon.
I will go Xiaomi EU ROM if and when a twrp is released or the fastboot bricking issue has been well resolved. I used EU version on my 10 ultra and it is a dam good ROM.
Brilliant.
@Sathelp
Does volte and WiFi calling work on SKY on CN ? ( Whilst I wait on bl unlock for Global )
Thanks

Quoted you incase you didn't see question above re sky WiFi calling etc.
Thanks again.
I did tested download speeds on chinese version of Mi 11 Ultra and guess what ? I am getting only 3.66 mb/s on GG network that runs on O2 architecture if im not mistaking .
Before i bought the phone i verified all the network bands and it should be compatible with all Uk carriers on 4 and 5G .
May it be some setting or something ? I tried 2 different speed test services .

Were you getting 4G+ before, and now not, maybe?
So, I bought my Mi 11 on a contract from some website I've never heard of and it was cheap. It's legit, but it's a US (IMEI number is region '05') phone flashed with a UK firmware. Are different regions of the Mi 11 built for different frequencies or do all Snapdragon chips support different countries?
Only because I've noticed it says I have like 3 bars of 4G signal but my mobile data just doesn't work and never loads. Like would I be missing on some 5g goodness too?
Also would there be anything I'm missing out on if the phone is in a different region?
Thank you!
I think the Mi 11 generally supports all bands. Perhaps the frequency selection is limited by the firmware. I haven't heard of any special UK firmware. There are 7 different ROMs. Actually even 8. The Vodafone ROM does not appear here. The last two letters after the number are decisive. Post it to you.
Just try the global stable. Maybe then your problem will be solved.
You could try to use the selection network options from testing mode.
Try using that method : https://itsitadda.com/how-to-use-more-than-20-network-types-in-your-miui-android-phones/
I have 5g but you have to remember that it depends on the provider and the 5g band the provider offers. My phone gets 5g with attnt and T-Mobile at least in the USA .

Ah thank you my dude I'll have to contact my network then see what's up with it.
Has anyone gotten the Global version for use here in US? Curious about carriers and bands. TMo, AT&T, Verizon. Will it work without issue?
Wow. Nobody?

Thanks for the response. After some research I have found that on 4g the phone works fine w at TMo and AT&T but none of the carriers have 5G compatible w global version. Here in US the 5g used is n260 & n261 which (conveniently) isn't used anywhere but in the US.
Oh yeah sadly most 5G asian phones doesn't support millimeter wave 5g
I just got a new Xiaomi 11t, I put my SIM (MVNO/AT&T) in, and 5G data works perfectly.
I can't make or receive phone calls, but the internet (5G) works.
Support tells me I need a New VOLTE Sim card to get voice working. If that works, then I can say Xiaomi 11t/pro does work here in the US.
Quick help please
Im trying to buy it here in UK MI 11 Ultra Chinese's Version
What is the difference is it worth it
Can i install global firmware on it
Will i get 5G on it im using UK network
Thank you
https://www.wondamobile.com/mobile/xiaomi-smartphones.html. You pay no import tax with wonda.
You will need to unlock the bootloader to change ROMs to other. That takes 7 days. If you want global, why don't you search more local? Then you won't need to unlock the bootloader?
Yes, 5g works but depending on your network and availability. Check your supplier in your area and check the band's available on the phone for fullness before buying.
I'm in the UK, can't get 5g, none around me but 4g is dam fast. I am using the Xiaomi EU ROM, it's a custom ROM based on the Chinese but fully Google and safteynet supported. Pop over to the Xiaomi EU forums for more info.
