Hi guys, so after a bit of research I found that you can add/enable bands on the OP1 as shown here

and Here

My question is can I add LTE band 3 to my OP3 A3000?
Mine currently supports:
North America model(A3000)
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/12/17/30
The other models support:
Europe / Asia model
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40
China model
FDD-LTE : Bands 1/3/7
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/39/40/41
If anyone has done this or attempted to do this please let me know
Looking for the same information.
Also been searching for this. Found another thread which says hopefully in the next month or two it will be looked into.

Could this even be possible? Aren't bands hardware dependant?

Its possible to add bands in Qualcomm devices .. i added h+ band in my Xiaomi mi note 1year ago. (Snapdragon 801) ... Somewhere in xda exist a tutorial to add bands in xiaomi mi note pro. Try the steps in oneplus ... But make sure you nandroid backup and EFS backup.

This is what I'd assume as well, but it looks like some have been successful in the past with Oneplus devices. Especially since Oneplus' response to the band omissions seemed a bit vague IMO.
Any updates?
I have a A3000 US model (Does not support LTE band 3)
AND NOW
I have just got a A3000 HK model (For my dad) (support's LTE band 3)
and the "about phone" part is identical apart from the baseband version.
Is there any way to tell them apart. And does this mean I can somehow unlock LTE band 3 on my US version of the OP3?
If there was someway to backup the basband and restore it on on my US OP3 that would also be great!

The HK model is A3003 so you actually have a China model.

Opps, either way, it still has LTE band 3 which I need on my US version
Any news on adding bands to the OP3?

AFAIK there isn't yet a way, but I would suggest to follow the most active thread on the subject:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/unlocking-lte-bands-t3425871/page6
Hopefully something will come up..
Can this work on all carriers? Whether in North America or over seeas?
I've got OP3T A3000, tried multiple files and instructions to unlock LTE band 3 on it, no luck so far. Downgraded to Nougat, Oreo, different zip files, qcn files, hex editing stuff, most of these process went error free with still no band 3.
Idiot over here ordered mi 5s plus didn't realise it didn't support b4.
My carrier bell Canada supports 1700/2100 and 2600
Phone supports 2600 but not 1700/2100.
I see some people have unlocked bands on mi5 not s. Anyone been. Successful with a s plus?
Is hasn't arrived yet but I'm hopeful its possible?
Band 4 for lte? Your downlod speed is not ok with 3g/hspa?
Not really , I mean I could live with it but I have it available (LTE) so I want to use it.
Hi guys,the Lenovo p2 only support b3+b7 on LTE CA and in my country (Italy) and other european countries it's impossible to use 4g+ because it's only used b3+b20. Is it possible to do something with QPST to unlock band? I think yes because the Moto G5 Plus is the same phone like P2 and it support b3+b20. Thanks for answer me.
Nice question: same issue here in Italy with Vodafone!
yes i need this information too. because i really want this phone but for the model i want p2a42 is A LOT more expensive than the p2c72 chinese model. is it possible to some how unlock the lte bands from the chinese model??? i seen a post of here with people unlocking bands on their quallcom phones, mostly xperia z3 i think.
Hi there guys!
I've bought a Moto G5 model XT1676 a few days ago, and it doesn't work with LTE connectivity on my country (Argentina)
I've asked the carrier about it, and they told me that my mobile does not work on the same frequencies of LTE antennas.
I knew that on some mobiles you could "unlock" this unsupported frequencies, could it be possible on Moto G5?
Thanks!
looking at the frequencies - none of the carriers in Argentina support lte on the moto g5
Your country uses a different standard of lte to other countries so I dont know how you would get lte working
For example the UK uses
LTE 800, LTE 1800, LTE 2600
Argentina uses
LTE 700(28), LTE 1700(4), LTE 2100 (4)
Unless there is Argentine firmware from a Moto G5 that was released in your country and you know the model number you could try flashing the modem files from that firmware - but if the Moto G5 hasn't officially been released in your country and you imported it or its not fully supported in your country im sorry but I dont know what you can do
Moto G7 Play Single-SIM version (US model) has band 12 & 71 enabled. Dual SIM version ("International Model") unfortunately does not. Assuming the hardware is the same in all variants, what is the scope to enable Band 12, Band 71 and maybe even 5GHz WiFi on the Dual SIM version?
I believe it's by software variant and baseband which you cannot change.

After a little research, seems the solution is to set the appropriate bits in LTE_BC_CONFIG using QPST/QXDM. Could it be that straightforward?
Thanks for any tips!
