Carrier Aggregation Band Combinations - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi , Where can i find the Carrier Aggregation Band Combinations , for the Redmi Note 8 Pro Global Model ?
For exemple B3+B7+B28 or B1+B7 ....
I know it's 3CA , but there's no info about Band Combinations , inter-band , intra-band ...
About this Carrier Aggregation , is there a difference between global rom and EU rom ?
I just found this : LTE FDD: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28
LTE TDD: B38/B40
but no info on CA .
With Engeneer code *#*#3646633#*#* , i can see bands , but no Carrier Aggregation Band Combinations .

I searched everywhere , but I did not find anything concerning the Carrier Aggregation Band Combinations .
I just found an option to activate CA .

Tengo el mismo inconveniente... B7+B28=4G+ (Chile)

After many tests, it is obvious that some applications like Netmonster are not always reliable.
The best way to check for the presence of any aggregation is to check with the code *#*#4636#*#*
You have to enable developer mode to use the code: Go to "Settings", "About phone", and click 7 times on "MIUI version" .

Hi
I think we can see carrier Aggregation Band Combinations available on Qualcomm with QPST Flash Tools , QxDM Professional , LTE Band Calculator ...
Is it possible to find the carrier Aggregation Band Combinations available on RN8 Pro Mediatek with Maui Meta , EFT dongle , SP Tool MTK + FlashROM ... ?
Thank you

I have build CA Combo databases, but i don't have Xiaomi Redmi 8 Pro combos. I think closest i have Redmi Note 8 https://cacombos.com/device?model=M1908C3JG or Redmi Note 8T: https://cacombos.com/device?model=M1908C3XG
You can collect these from your device. I have instruction for that: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g-supported-ca-combinations-from-your-android-phone/ (Check Xiaomi section) Can you then send logs to [email protected] (with your phone model number and provider name) so i can parse these and update combos to my site? If you also have any other device, you can try get CA combos out so we can build together better database.
There is also another database https://smartphonecombo.it/ but there neither have Redmi 8 Pro.

I think RN 8 Pro supports only B1+B3... I have problem with that because it is not enabled B3+B20 in this device. With RN 8T and Mi 9T Pro everything works fine...
With RN 8 Pro (EEA) I don't have nowhere 4G+ (B3+B20). I noticed in very few location that appears for a second 4G+ (B3 1800+).
If I disable B20 in Engineering mode, I get for a short 4G+ (1800 or 1800+1800 or 1800+2100 or 1800+1800+2100). If I disable B3 I get only 4G (but shows 800+1800 or 800+2100 or 1800+1800 or 800+1800+1800 or 800+1800+2100 or 800+1800+1800+2100). So definetely is some problem/ROM bug with B3+B20 in my case.

You are right - it support 1+3 and Intra-CA. I just got device on my hand and i can confirm these bands and combinations are supported: https://cacombos.com/device?model=M1906G7G

I also noticed problem with aggregation on B3+B20. My network provider recently added B1 in my location so aggregation on B1+B3 started to work, bot not at all 3 carriers like in other device. The same problem I had with other Chinese phone, but is was dedicated for Chinese market. I am surprised by such a savings policy in a not the cheapest model.

Question about carrier aggregation, is it possible to copy the LTE NVRAM configuration files from a phone with 4G+ enabled and replace them to another phone with the same chipset that has it's CA disabled using modem odem meta, I have been looking at this files but don't know where to start

So it appears that agregation is somehow limited co certiain bands and therefore works in some countries only :/
Here is Poland B1, B3, B4, B20 and B38 are avaliable. And how did You check which bands is Your phone agegating ?

Network Signal Guru App from Play Store,
and i happen to work in carrier company, so i know which band we are using and how we co figured it
@otonieru
That's a great news
LTE+ was available for You all the time or it just appeared after update ?
I'm asking because somebody tried to enable CA on WHYRED and it was partially succesfull (LTE+ was shown, but CA wasn't working). So now (as CA appears to be working) all that needs to be done is to change in Diag mode which band should be used (to enable CA for different frequencies)

it's been there since MIUI 9 (time when i bought the phone)
btw, the + sign wont appear to begin with if the band is not aggregated. so i think if u managed to see the sign, the CA should be working
@otonieru
I have never seen a 4G+ sign on my WHYRED Global. My guesses are, that CA is working (as it's working for You), but not with the bands that are avaliable in Poland. In about a month I'm gonna go into USB Diag mode and try to enable something more EU compatible (like B3+B7)

So i have tried to enable it. I managed to install everything, connect my phone .... But whenever i try to edit NVRAM value it giver error - cant read (no such file ...). I kept left cliking on that value, managed to edit it, rebooted my phone (tried to enable LTE CA on band 1 1+20). No 4G+ though and now QPST wont see my phone anymore :/
Why are those NVRAM values unreadable by QXDM professional and why cant QPST detect my phone (it is visible in device manager as a diagnostic device)
It appears, that those LTE CA items aren"t there. Wird. Is there any way to open a .qnc file to compare two different modems ?

you need to make a backup in .xqcn format, and compare it in software like Notepad++
also, it will help to have QRCT tools, not just QPST and QXDM
btw, some values belong to newer modems are no longer readable by older QXDM, you need new version.
no cracked one for that though. You either need to know some qualcomm guys, or work in a company that has access to newer software version (QPDT, QXDM, QRCT. I just happen to be quite lucky to be in the second group.
@otonieru
Yeah. Newer QXDM professional is needed as intra band agreagtion files aren"t readable as well :/
I"ve tried to read something from modem file.qxcn but ... most of it is digits and letters (hexadecimal code i guess)
Can You please check if Yours newer version of QXDM can read LTE CA files ? (they are in NV browser under category RF LTE)
Sent from my whyred using XDA Labs
@otonieru
Can You please check if QXDM 4+ (as this appears to be more up to date LTE capable version) can read LTE CA values ? I would love to now whether downloading cracked QXDM 4 from some dodgy sites and risking installing some nasty malware on my PC is even worth it

can you share your xqcn file ?

Hey
I'm facing an issue with QXDM
I wanted to enable 700MHz (B28) band as well as CA.
I bought the international variant of this phone, which claimed it had those bands and CA.
This is a dual sim with an additional SD card slot (so it has a total of 3 slots).
I'm trying to enable this band by editing the corresponding values with the one I generated with an app, but it didn't work, I can't get thoses to work.
Do you have any *working* tutorial for RN8, with Dual Sim card slot ?
Regards,

Any update? Id love to own this phone but need band 20 here in switzerland. Its the only one deactivated that i would need
People tried to unlock bands at the poco F1, but, there was no success, And people tried a lot
I found the possible files causing the restrictions on LTE and 5G bands, but I have no idea how to modify them to unlock bands.
In the policyman folder, the files:
- china_msim_restrictions.xml
- disable_nsa_mmwave_bands.xml
- lte_feature_restrictions.xml
regards

These files doesn't unlock B20 - this is hardware limitation. Bands are configured to nvitems but on 5G phones many things changed.
But could you please share to me your modem log file so i can list all hardware supported 4G bands to my cacombos.com website? I have here instruction how to get log file: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...phone/#Method_for_Qualcomm_Devices_after_2020 and you can send it to: https://cacombos.com/contribute . This help me understand what bands & combinations this device support.

If you change any ROMs from global to China and vice versa won't unlock the bands. This is locked down with hardware, not software. Older Qualcomm devices could unlock bands with Qualcomm tools/programs. This isn't the case with newer models.

Question LE numbers and applicable models

Can people post here with the LE number shown on your phone under Settings > About Phone > Model so we can compile a list of which device is which?
I haven't been able to find a definitive list, if you know of one then by all means post a link.
Please include your country and provider if it's a provider specific model
I'll start :
LE NumberModelRAMStorage (ROM)LE2123OnePlus 9 Pro (EU)8GB128GBLE2123OnePlus 9 Pro (EU)12GB256GBLE2125OnePlus 9 Pro (US) (Verizon?)12GB256GBLE2127OnePlus 9 Pro (US) (T-Mobile?)12GB256GB
One reason I wanted to do this is because there was MSM released but it says it's for the LE2125 so there's no guarantee it would work for anyone with a OnePlus 9 Pro
LE2125 USA Unlocked, using Verizon.
Edit - 12GG Ram, 256GB Rom

You are wrong, Oxygen Updater reads the software not hardware model to determine which update you need. So you have the LE2120 China hardware running the DA (India) ROM

The LE2125 is the US unlocked model and ISN'T carrier specific. It should be compatible with most US carriers (Tmobile, Verizon, AT&T, and their MVNO's, etc.) US-Cellular isnt compatible with any oneplus device unless you know someone on the backend who can whitelist your imei.

Question Will cross flashing modems open up different bands?

Hi I have an LE2120 cross flashed to global and am currently running nameless. I was wondering if flashing a NA modem would allow me to see all the NA bands including the Verizon UW bands. I ask this since as far as I can tell the hardware is the exact same on all the models with just a change in software. I appreciate your answers. Thank you.
Hi, here is a link with more info regarding you question for/on our device.
