As seems Xiaomi unfortunately decided not to bring the pro version to Europe (no mi 9t pro) I am wondering if it is possible to make the missing B20 available on the Redmi K20 pro.
I am guessing it is not hardware limitation, right?
It's maybe not hardware limited. But need the current Qualcomm QPST tool to configure LTE bands for 845 and later SOC 855.
The previous version QPST tool (can find in XDA)can only add bands for old SOCs like 820/835 etc.
Some newer QPST tool can be downloaded from other site, but need a available account to log in.
isn't mi 9 using the same modem (x24)? Perhaps we can use its baseband

Same hardware, different configuration file, maybe the baseband partition is strongly encrypted by Qualcomm.
I've tried to force flashing mi 8 firmware into poco f1 (same SOC, and f1 lacks some frequency bands), no baseband is added to poco f1.
So I guess, if users force flashing mi 9 firmware into k20pro, k20pro's baseband may not change.
Sounds not promising
Hopefully we'll find something anyway

Started looking into this for the Redmi Note 7 Pro which as we know never had a global release. I live in the United States and need more bands to get decent coverage. Sounded complicated with the possibility of bricking the phone. I'll have to wait for the official global release if it does come. They didn't rule it out yet as they did before the Redmi Note 7 global version came out. These were some comments earlier on GSMArena about possible delays. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-global-t3939580
Does not sound promising, indeed.
I really need B20 for Germany, so I am really thinking about getting the Lenovo Z6 instead. Yes I know, it has a small notch but I need a replacement.
Will this work? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/unlock-lte-bands-step-step-xiaomi-mi-t3084774
No go for Band 20, but lots of people managed to unlock Band 4 in this thread. I'd love to hand band 4 on the K20 Pro.

If I remember correctly Xiaomi Mi Note has Snapdragon 810. To be functional in the Xiaomi K20 Pro we would need a version of QPST and QXDM updated and functional with SD 845 and 855, as the partner above said.
Maybe it will be possible soon, do not dismiss it. We must be optimists.

That is, they are the specifications of the mobile phone, it does not mean that LineageOS activates all the bands.

I thought the same when I saw this info, but if you look further at other releases and ROMs for another device, you'll notice they are very careful with this info. You will notice too that it's many bands, but it's not all.
I guess if Mi9 has already, we'll find a way (eventually) to unlock the bands.
its must be a stuppid question, but what have we got to loose, right...
Did anyone tried Network Signal Guru ?

recently, i bought my mi 9 pre-owned. the former owner says that he bought this mi 9 in china (so it has the china rom in it with alot of bloatwares). so as the title says it, i want to verify whether the mi 9 i bought is original or fake.
i did this by getting my imei by dialing *#06# then putting it in xiaomi's verify website https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei
it then gave me this result
"Thank you for choosing Xiaomi!
However, the device you purchased is not an official global version and user experience may be affected. Next time, please purchase the official global version of the device through officially authorized channels."
i have attached a picture of this.
i just want to know if my phone is legit or not because it gives mix signals
since xiaomi recognizes the imei but gives a message saying that please purchase through officially authorized channels.
thank you.
I got this :
So I think yours might not be But I'm not familiar with this tool.
What does the Product Authentification (second Tab) give you ?

You may have the Chinese version so if you try it with a verification that is for the global version you will probably get this error. Have a look at the url and you will see ..../global/... in it.

Hi,
I test my phone, bought in a official xiaomi store in Shanghai, when I was there in April and it gave the same answer that yours:
小米9 全网通版 8GB内存 全息幻彩蓝 128GB
Thank you for choosing Xiaomi!
However, the device you purchased is not an official global version and user experience may be affected. Next time, please purchase the official global version of the device through officially authorized channels.
I think it check that your IP isn´t in China (I´m in Brazil) and then give this alert.

To me it seems as if the answer is right. You do not have the global version and since you are tring to verify a GLOBAL version of the Mi9 and you have the Chinese version this is the aswer you are bound to get.
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

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?

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.

Hello guys,
Can someone please help me out? I have a CN version MI 11. I live in Greece. 5G was working fine on both my sims while on CN ROM.
I then unlocked my bootloader and flashed the EEA ROM from here : https://c.mi.com/thread-3603220-1-0.html . Unfortunately this broke 5G service on my phone, I can now only connect as 4G+ maximum even though 5G is selected.
Then I flashed Xiaomi.eu ROM ( from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-miui-venus-xiaomi-eu-rom-for-xiaomi-mi-11.4219357/ )thinking that would fix the issue. Unfortunately the problem persists, nothing really changed.
I suspect this is because my Phone Model Name changed on the 1st flash and my service provider no longer recognises my device as a 5G one. My current model number is M2011K2C, however my last google backup was under MI 11.
This is just speculation though, I am not what is causing this.
Can anybody help me please? What do your guys phones list as model name?
PS : both versions of MI 11 support 5G in Greece, see here : https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/GR/xiaomi-mi-11?deviceForPrices=xiaomi-mi-11-cn
I don't think you lost 5G, there is a possibility you never had it.
The CN version with the CN rom shows 5G icon even when you don't have 5G, if there is some 5G coverage. It showed 5G for me even when I didn't have 5G access on my sim. The CN Mi 11 isn't compatible with 5G on some carriers, where the global Mi 11 is. Did you do a speed test? Did you actually have 5G speeds? There are other ways to check if you actually have 5G, but I don't remember the apps, you can look into them. As I've said, I had the 5G icon, but the connection was 4G in fact. When I changed the rom, it showed correctly, as in 4G only.

Thanks for the reply. I actually did a speed test while on CN rom, I hit 400mbps so I definitely had 5G service. On my first post I provided a link that shows both CN and Global version of MI 11 support all 5G bands used in my country (Greece).
This is a software issue for sure, I am just not sure what causes it.
Update :
Flashing V12.0.22.0.RKBCNXM CN ROM restores 5G connectivity. It works fine on CN ROM
5G is not working under any other ROM.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Hello everyone,
Searched the forums and could not find a definitive info regarding this, apologize in advance if i missed it.
I'm soon to receive my mi 11 ultra china version.
Alltough the bands used by all the carriers in my country are all supported, i've read somewhere on the mi 11 forum that the modem settings for china are different from the global/eu rom ( at least for the mi 11 ).
Wanted to know if i flash the original global/eea rom from xiaomi via the official tool, will i also get the modem configuration from the global/eea rom ? ( Just like the global mi 11 ultra )
Cheers !

If you mean the modem configuration like unlock needed bands it won't work.
I am not sure, but I guess it can be done. As far as I know, you can flash other versions after you keep the BL unlocked, I hope it works for you.

This is an older thread but wondering (1) did the baseband change to global after flashing the global rom? (2) Did it then pick up the band 66 (IF broadcast by your carrier in your area...not necessarily everywhere) Thanks
edit...folks are imo incorrectly focused on 5g (getting 5g or not) as its deployment is very spotty. Further if you check via signal check lite or Lte discovery apps, you will see that even if the phone shows 5G in status bar (lots of folks say they 'get' 5g based on that) the actual band is an LTE band usually (this is even with Apple iphones-have tested them out both on Tmobile and AT&T in my area...the 5G is mostly bunk imo and just marketing). ANyway, I digress. Does the flashing of global rom change the baseband to the global baseband and is the phone then able to pick up LTE 66 IF broadcast in your area?
