Dear All,
I am going to buy Redmi 9. I am living in Europe.
The seller proposes 3/32 EU version and 4/64 Asia version (latest has no NFC but it is not critical first me).
I was told Asia version will not support some European frequencies as well as it will be flashed with EU ROM, but it is strongly recommended do not update or reflash.
Is it really an issue for Asian version? I didn't find any mentions about frequencies restriction and big problems of reflashing (with unlocked bootloader of course)?
I wonder...why drought the reseller?
here you can find models and frequencies info

compare these with your country frequencies
or buy both...the redmi 9 is quite cheap

Is there any source to finde latest basebands for Xiaomi Redmi 4X ?
And is it possible to flash it ?
Would be interesting to get any with LTE band 20.
Just updated to new global version 8.2.9.0 from 8.2.0.2.
There is also coming a little baseband update with it.
Before is was .2.c8-00006-8940_GEN_PACK-1_V003
and now it is .2.c8-00006-8940_GEN_PACK-1_V042.
Hope that also band 20 for LTE will come once with a standard update, because the hardware should be fine for it.
Would be great for users / customers in central europe around germany esp.
How can I downgrade the baseband? My 4x only has 2g signal
I have Redmi 4X (santoni) and I b20 was working already when I bought it. Now I use Xiaomi.eu MIUI 8 (Android N 7.1.2) and everything works perfectly.
I 've bought redmi 4x Global from GearBest but I don't know if it supports B20.
The box writes:
Product Name / Product Model: Mobile Phone / MAG138
Can someone confirm if it is indeed the global version and supports B20 ?
I am not 100% sure but I read that few times:
If you got english packaging you should have the international Version with band 20....
There are 3 different Versions to buy.
You can see it eg at geekbuying:
Version 1 : Normal 4x with english and chinese Rom - no Band 20
Version 2: Global Rom 4x with Multilanguage Rom - no Band 20
Version 3: Global Version 4x with Multilanguage Rom - including Band 20

Go to your order at the Gearbest shop and click on the link to the phone.
If you see Global version you have B20, as you can see at the specs (4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20)
Confusing part.......If you see the International version then you don't have B20 (4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8)
unlock bans 20
any way to unlock LTE band 800mh - (20) in xiaomi redmi 4x 2g/16 chinese version????
pls help. I bought this phone but havent band 20
(bootloader is unlock and rom is rooted)
I'm following the same question:
is it possible to unlock B20 on any 4X just flashing the right international ROM or
it is necessary to buy a different version of the phone
(i.e. B20 depends on software only or on hardware difference too ???)

I didn't buy it from Gearbest, it was from one of Czech e-shops. I wasn't aware of the different HW versions.
I think I'm just going to get the Global version on geekbuying with 3GB RAM, $124.99 is a really good price.
as far as i know the problem is not the modem, but the antenna. it needs a different one. you can try to modify the nvram if you know how to do it. you also need B20 configuration values for that. but maybe it really have other hardware requirements.
For Band 20 (EU, Germany) definitely buy the GLOBAL VERSION, on the box it clearly states Band 20 amongst others
China doesn't use Band 20 for LTE, so it's not supported on the China market phones.
Reading from other phones threads, it's not possible to add band 20 to phones without it.
Who tried modding the phone's reserved system partitions, ended up with a non-working phone modem/radio.
So, you must check the supported bands on the phone before you buy it.

is there any difference between these two apart from ROM? Will chinese k20 pro NFC work when I flash a custom rom?
asking because will buy one soon, k20 is cheaper but I've seen on gsmarena that k20pro nfc works only in china and that's basically the only thing that would force me to choose it over 9tpro
Different bands pal

networks in every country that I've been so far (europe/scandinavia) work well on redmi note 3 which has less band support, should be fine, no?
there's that `NFC (china only)` thing in K20 column, will I be able to use it in europe after flashing a custom rom?

You can use it with the Chinese ROM. Not sure where this has come from that it only works in China. The issue is more about tap to pay apps don't work on the Chinese ROM. I know GPay doesn't play with Chinese MIUI, but not sure what else doesn't.
Once you've installed a custom ROM, then it's irrelevant (obviously excluding Indian models) which version of the phone you have. Any fixes required to get financial and tap to pay apps will work on all models with NFC hardware.

K20 Pro is released in China and India. Indian model, despite sharing the name, doesn't have NFC.
K20 PRO / Mi9T PRO ROM
I have mine ( K20 PRO ) with Mi9T PRO Global ROM. Everything works fine in, NFC works too.
Is the global Mi 9T Pro with dual band GPS?

Yes.. both official stable global and eea.
Be aware of the differences between the Chinese K20Pro and the Indian.
Chinese: no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom
Indian: no NFC, no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom.
Also there are hardware differences between the K20Pro and the 9T Pro.
Read very well all topics around flashing forward and back from stock to different Rom's and disregarding some don'ts put many here with a bricked or semi-bricked phone!!!

The only known hardware difference between all models is that the Indian model does not have the NFC coil. Otherwise they are identical.

No hardware/software wise band 20 is not there and it is a Qualcomm firmware thingy that blocked band 20 for all K20(Pro).
You can flash any Rom that you want but on as well the Indian as the Chinese K20(Pro) band 20 is not available.

Yes, but that is firmware, like your say. Physical hardware is the same, it's the firmware (software) controlling it that is different.
Hello,
I want to buy the K20 pro from aliexpress but can not decide which version to buy, the Chinese or the Global.
Does it make a difference which version I pick, if I wipe the device anyway?
Or do I need the Global version for LTE to fully functioning in Germany?
Thanks in advance

This is a k20 pro chinese which means no band 20 for lte
You check google and some sites to know the bands you need
But you will either choose global rom ( with unlocked bootloader by the seller ) or chinese rom with locked bootloader
The one that has band 20 is the mi 9t pro
The mi 9t pro doesnot have a 256GB version till now as far as I know so for sure this is a k20 pro missing the band 20
For me in my country, we donot have band 20 used and if I travelled to an area where it is a must I will use 3g instead but if I am living in a band 20 area then it is a must

One german user bought the Global version from aliexpress and posted a screenshot of the system information in the comments on aliexpress. It shows Mi 9t pro.
Did someone on here bought the phone from aliexpress and can confirm that band 20 and lte are working?
Buy Global version. B20 may definitely come in handy especially in Europe. You can buy it here: https://www.eglobalcentral.de/xiaom...ne-sim-lock-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-schwarz.html or here: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-9-pro-hk-global-version-256-gb-unlocked.html
I bought it in the first shop
Versions from AliExpress are just normal K20 Pro without B20 support, even if they have flashed global rom
Definitly buy global version ( with b20 support) for germany , because you will see diference in rural areas where german operators use b20 band for 4g, lte coverage. I have k20 pro chinese ver and sometimes i dont have 4g,lte in those places.

Are you sure about this? I thought eglobal and wondamobile just import the same unlocked global version like on aliexpress (Redmi K20 pro) from Hongkong.

Yes I'm sure. Xiaomi released Global 8/256 version but only in HongKong. It supports B20 100%
They even say they released 8/256 M Mi 9T Pro on their page: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t-pro/specs
Also here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80449693&postcount=116

I totally get your point, that's why I created this thread in the first place.
But how do you know, that the global version from aliexpress does not have the b20 band, but the global version from eglobal or wandamobile have the b20 band?

Honestly i'm not 100% sure but i've checked opinions about some of the more popular offers and they all said that it's just K20 Pro with flashed global ROM - not true Mi 9T Pro Global version and also I can't really find such offer that would explicitly say it's a global version with such specs. Either Mi 9T Pro 6/128 or K20 Pro 8/256 with flashed Global ROM (but still without B20)

If the system information screen says 'Mi 9t pro', then the phone would 100% have the B20 band, correct?

well as far as i know, not really. After all it could be normal K20 Pro with flashed Global ROM. If you flash that rom it will change name according to the region. You would have to check if the device has locked or unlocked bootloader. If it has locked BL and name Mi 9T Pro then it's very possible it's a model with B20 support because you can't lock a bootloader on K20 Pro with flashed global rom.

Ok, thanks pal. Then I'll go with the 6/128GB version from eglobal. It's the more safe option.
I also think this is good enough hardware for a casual user anyway.

Yeah I also think 6/128 it's more than enough. Good luck

Hello, I bought a Remdi k20 pro 2 months ago in Japan from amazon( I'm still in Japan now) and apparently I got a the "fake" Global version one. The firmware version is 9.5.31 and I can't get any updates from the official Updater. Now I have some questions.
1) In this forum I read that I need to install a "fresh" update to overcome this "problem". I will go back to europe next year so I would like to have a European firmware if possibile, how can I download it?
2)This Redmi k20 is the chinese Version with the fake Global Firmware apparently... From the settings it is identified as "Mi 9 T Pro" ( maybe its because the "fake" Global firmware wants to make the phone look as a Global version even though is the Chinese one), does this mean that it has the B20 LTE? Is is a matter of Software or hardware? If i Install the european firmware, will the B20 LTE work?
Thanks in advance!
Hello
I am a bit lost as it is the first time I buy a Chinese phone. In the box my OP is clearly Chinese as everything is in Chinese and the version shown on the box is "NE2210"
That is clear to me and the seller told me as well so no question about.
When I see my device version it shows "NE2215" and I am not sure witch version is this one. Is it American European or other different one?
The version shown is precisely NE2215_11_C.21
I would like to have the European version if possible because I live in Spain.
I was checking about the bands as well and apparently the Chinese version has all the bands that Spanish companies use in 3,4 and 5g
Is there anything I have wrong and I can change or any perception mistake I should know.
Thank you for any answer in advance.
