[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
lte bands 2, 4, 5 for Chinese market (FDD LTE?) these bands are never seen on any Chinese phones even those purported to be 'international devices' like Huawei p8, p9, x2 and their international versions (usually it is tdd lte 38-41) not the latest m3 or any of the Meizu phones or even other Xiaomi ones like Xiaomi Mi Max...except Huawei M2 has one version that has these NA bands
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] thklinge:
What's your point?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
you said Chinese market and relevant bands (2,4 and 5 have nothing do with Chinese market)...so I said if you look at all the devices there are no patterns to the bands...some business decisions...otherwise you could have theoretically all devices doing accessing same bands

and nothing to do with SoC

there is differentiation for other reasons than just software

that is my point.,nothing confrontational

anyway good luck to all-if bands are unlocked and accessible that will be awesome
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] emann56:
3g band 4 will work. I don't have any other bands to test. My main goal was to enable band 4 on 3g since it was the only band my carrier supports... (Well band 66 for LTE but only 2 phones support that!).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
that is great news...so if 3g band 4 works (you said "will" work..it works, right?..or maybe you meant will work if others tried your process too) then that is a big step..hoping to see other bands getting unlocked and used!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Is it? I know that with the Mi5 and Mi Max, there are some LTE bands there were successfully enabled (I think Band 6, and I know for sure WCDMA Band 6 was also enable-able), but other LTE bands could not be (The bands in the US, Band 20, and so on).

In Japan, resellers selling the Mi5 or Mi Max, actually enable WCDMA bands 6,9/19 before shipping the phones, because people really, really need them outside of major cities. Why would the phones allow some bands to be enabled but not others if it were only a software limitation? I'm thinking it could be something to do with the antenna.

Anyway, I'd be fine with buying a Mi Mix if I could definitely unlock the Japanese WCDMA bands I need in order to make/receive calls from my house, but since I can't be sure that any bands can be enabled, I'll have to hold off :(
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
So you can confirm that Band 4 on 3g did not work before enabling it, and does work afterwards?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
Thanks...you made my "point" that I tried to make earlier as well. (hardware+software...and no such thing that a particular band/set of bands MUST be available for unlocking and use)

but....waiting and hoping for tested and proven success on 12 and 17 LTE and maybe 29 and 30 (think someone said 12 was not be had?)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] thklinge:
The hardware supports all bands, stop being silly. It's a software issue.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
I would generally think the same thing, but how would that explain the fact that LTE Band 6 can be enabled on the Mi5, but LTE Band 4 cannot?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
As soon as you report if band 17 LTE can be unlocked and works I will pull the trigger on this device. :)

Please do keep us posted.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] pappschlumpf:
First report from germany. Vodafone LTE band 20 (800 MHz) is not working after patching the values! My Note 7 and my Yotaphone 2 are both having LTE band 20 connection at the same place. Is there anything else to do to make it work? Reflash ROM, wipe data, change config files? Connection is set to 4G for sure.

Emann56...based on your post 86 today on the "Where to buy (list of shops)" thread ...surprised...you do not have this device? (but your unlocking posts indicate otherwise,,,seems you were trying to guide folks but not an actual experience with the device..yet) or is this your second device...if so, wow!

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

same here :) or at least 12, or 29 or 30.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
It is possible that the ROM is setting values on init or during boot up. It seems custom recovery is available - you could try installing a ROM for the 821 SOC. Perhaps CM ROM or some other ROM with a custom kernel. Again, I don't have the device so I am not familiar with the phone or what ROMs or kernels are compatible.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] CB620:

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] wolfgart:
as said and tried myself too : all unofficial bands are HW DISABLED
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] thklinge:
Let me correct that for you:

BOOTTIME DISABLED
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] rapzeh76:
Sorry right I'm a massive noob at all of this, but if the phone comes with hardware that supports 800mhz and the like, literally what would be the point of disabling it in the hardware manually? Is it not just a huge waste of time to go through the effort to disable it on a hardware level? Maybe not, I dunno.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] thklinge:
It isn't, the radio is inside the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Xiaomi didn't get their own custom soc just to disable a few bands. This is software limitations.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
there are many other components including the antenna itself and interfaces to it (Qualcomm's own RF front end solution as they call it has variants in it and they are the same from 820 maybe even other of their SoC...so I said the other day SoC is not an end in itself...am no expert or anyone knowledgeable but interested parties can read on)

anyway...hope this is good reading for EVERYONE (just please don't ask me what is my point...lol)

I have been told by other people that you need to flash the developer rom version and have root in order for this to work.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

Any news? Also I have been told you need to be on the developer rom and have root.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Goronok:
I just got around to playing with this. I had been waiting for bootloader unlock approval before going too crazy. I moved from v8.0.8 vendor rom my device shipped with to the developer rom, but have been unable to get TWRP to work on my 6/256 as of yet for root. (no touch control within TWRP)

I was able to change the LTE values and I am happy to report that they persist through rebooting, but I have yet to see band 17 pop up. That said, I have yet to leave my house and even my Pixel XL often hangs onto band 2 versus 17 here. I will be out and about later and will report if I see 17 come up :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
Are the touch controls the only thing holding you back from root? If so, can you try to adb in recovery to flash the root package?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Was thinking about trying that, though found that the developer ROM has root built in. (Though an annoying bastardized version - still can't delete some system apps, etc). I've never owned a Xiaomi device before, so I'm kind of learning as I go.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
Got it. I'll wait for your feedback on band 17

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ChodTheWacko:
It avoids people enabling it, having problems with it, and then opening up support issues about it (or side effects caused by it)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
So, what's the verdict? Note that you can also disable Band 2, to force it to connect to Band 17, if you need to, by changing the LTE values accordingly.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
I just bought the phone and it's due to arrive next week sometime. I can provide fast feedback once I have it.

So that I understand what you said - are you saying that it's possible to disable a band that you DON'T need for your carrier, and force that "channel" to use a band that does not work with the phone out of the box?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
It's possible to disable a band that you don't need, but that doesn't mean it's any more possible to enable a band. I just figured disabling Band 2 would help him confirm whether or not Band 17 actually works, since it's connecting to Band 2.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
Got it. That makes perfect sense.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
worth a try..though once a band is enabled AND if actually available for use, the phone should go for whatever is available and strongest (my device (not the MIX) switches between 1900 band 2 and 700 Mhz band 17 just within a single room area in my residence sometimes even if not changing position-just overlapping bands strengths who knows...

hope for some success, though for broad-based reasons as in

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70133705&postcount=73

I think manufacturers differentiate between devices hardware-wise (example huawei's own 955 Kirin on different devices with different capabilities) and older less sophisticated devices like Samsung Tab A 7.0 SM-T285 and 285M, and even Sm-T239 and SM-T239M get their own hardware even though they too have SoCs. SoCs are nothing new (around since 2014 or so even before the 820 let alone the 821) and in that sense the 821 is not ground-breaking (see comparisons between 820 and 21...pretty similar) nfc antennas are small and can be on chip...but the radio stuff is not a done deal on chip from my reading up-interface components change, antennas change etc etc too complex imo

even older 801 was an SoC too with integrated radio

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-801-MSM8974AC-SoC.112062.0.html

again and goes without saying...am a noob

someone here with elect enng and radio communications cadre could weigh in...

but we try at xda...it is what makes it fun
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Goronok:
I have yet to see 17 come up. Like you mentioned, I "disabled" band 2 in an attempt to force it to connect to something else. Upon reboot, it still grabs 2. I'm still hopeful i'll see 17 come up while driving around, but I'm starting to wonder if these values are really changing anything useful.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
If you disabled Band 2 and you're still getting Band 2, then no, the values are not doing anything useful indeed.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
One other thing. It's a shot in the dark, but why not give the free trial of cdmatool a try?

http://www.cdmatool.com/
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
Is nobody working at this anymore? I see we had no ability to enable LTE bands, but anyone able to try with non-standard WCDMA bands?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
I started looking at this today. I enabled the bands via the methods outlined in other XDA threads and can confirm that Band 17 is not picking up in areas where other AT&T phones do pick up band 17. I am on the Developer Rom with root.

Next I will look into disabling band 2, which is the dominate band in my area, and see if the phone listens to the change I make.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] chris.davis925:
Update: I disabled all LTE bands EXCEPT for band17 by modifying lte_bc_config to 65536

Original:

lte_bc_config - 2061584302303

New:

lte_bc_config - 65536

What I observe is that the phone does not find any networks to connect to. This could be because band 17 is not available in the exact area I am in, but I doubt it. I assume that setting 65536 is the correct way to force only LTE band 17. Can someone else cross check this?

It seems to me that a modem flash might be required to make this work - assuming the hardware is capable.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
If it matters to anyone, apparently Japanese bands 6/9/19 can indeed be enabled with QPST successfully. These are not LTE bands, but WCDMA bands, though.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] bbourizk:
Would love to have band 28 enabled for use in Australia.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
enabled AND usable or just enabled i.e seen in menu (need a user in Japan to verify usability, yes?)

sorry if am the skeptic here (as seen the boards on the other phones-similar stuff-claims of 'enabled' bands with no verification and then folks saying the bands actually do not work or cannot be tapped into)

the thread needs a renaming "Has anyone tried enabling AND used bands with QPST?" (sincerely saying) I for one would be all over this device if either 12 or 17 or 29 or 30 LTE bands were actually made usable. Sorry again if being a skeptic.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
It's being advertised on Amazon with support for B6

https://www.amazon.co.jp/6-4インチ-フルセ...ie=UTF8&qid=1483054262&sr=8-2&keywords=mi+mix

They did the same thing with the Mi Max, and Mi 5, and others where enabling B6 was possible with QPST, so I'm assuming it was tested and working. They usually don't lie about these kinds of things and get away with it in Japan. Seeing as there is no real 'exclusive global addition' I'm pretty sure they just enabled the bands.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
EDIT

see my edited post fwiw (before seeing yours)

and this which echoes what I posted earlier on this board in response to one of the posters (who has not posted since) about the other interface components (simply having an SoC (been around since 2013) and the SD 820 already had the same LTE module as 821 is not an end in itself)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67736478&postcount=176

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70133705&postcount=73

I recall seeing the boards for the other models-same dead-ends there too (except maybe B20)

will try to find them...

edit...one poster was posting a guide and claiming it worked before even having this device (found he had not even received it per the shipping status thread-just saying lot of false hopes floating around-many are genuine attempts and all the power to them)

and this is 'official' from Xiaomi (on advertised bands...not sure how Amazon Japan can put something else...well is that seller Amazon or just someone on Amazon?)

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
I actually opened this thread specifically because I live in Japan so I would be able to test it if I bought a device.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
By the way, with Mi Max and Mi 5 (but not Mi 5s), the Japanese WCDMA bands have been confirmed working by many people once they're enabled. The Amazon listing is the confirmation I was hoping for for the Mi Mix.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] raupe:
Ok i've followed the guide and enabled all the lte bands as described (value 2061719111903 for lte_bc_config) but have to confirm that band 20 is not working with my provider (Drillisch/O2) here in Germany (Hamburg).

I've tested it with the xiaomi.eu dev ROM 2016-12-22 & 2016-12-29 (27).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
I know for a fact that with mi5 and mi max, before enabling wcdma band 6 it doesn't work but after enabling it it does. I assume the same with mi mix but can't be sure without buying one. Still a bit over priced in the import market for me to jump at it unfortunately.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
I'm running the stock 4.13.651.4 ROM and have been plugging away with this phone for quite some time. I saw that Sprint switched my PRL, so I went through my normal procedure to change the PRL to the one I want (using Windows computer and cdmaDevTerm software). Unfortunately it didn't work. I tried different cables and different Windows computers, but to no avail. As best I can tell, the diagnostic interface does not seem to get enabled when I dial ##3424# and select ON. In Windows, usually when you plug in the phone and dial ##3424#, the diagnostic interface shows up in Device Manager, either under COM and LPT ports if the correct driver is installed, or under Other Devices if the driver is not installed. But now nothing happens now when I dial ##3424# and toggle ON. I think it also used to ask for the MSL (at least I have that in my notes) but that doesn't happen either. File transfers still work fine to the SD cards when the phone is plugged in.

Any ideas? Is there any other way to tell if the diagnostic interface is really getting activated when dialing ##3424# and selecting "ON"? I also have ubuntu computer and adb.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

i've done some modification on the cube i7 book. First for the temperature issue i've used 0,5mm thermal pad ;

for the ssd i used a 2260 size doing some cuts. I used the 512gb crucial mx200;

and most important, i reduce the weight of about 300g, removing the metal plate of the keyboard

Now the total weight is about 1100g instead of 1400g without mod. I'm quite happy with the results.

Here: nipaph DOT com/hacking/cube-i7-book-hack/ you can find some pics and the explanation of the procedure. It is in italian, but there are the pics ang google translator :)
