Convert Nexus 5 D820 to D821

Hi, everyone.
Week ago received Nexus 5 from USA as a gift. Finally, discovered USA Nexus 5 variant doesn't support EU LTE band.
Is there any way to convert USA variant to EU variant.
I've tried to flash radio from EU variant, but no success.
Any chance to change LTE band?

You would have to change the motherboard and the radio chip. Realy not worth the money it will cost and the work it takes to do it. Buy one in Europe bro and enjoy the phone.

Send it back and kindly ask the giver to return it and give you the refund money. If you explain the situation I'm sure they'd understand.

It's a hardware issue, not a software issue. No amount of flashing would solve anything. Sorry.

[Q] Nexus 5 international availability in NYC?

Is it possible to buy the international Nexus 5 version D821 somewhere in New York City? How much does it cost?
I would need the LTE band 20 support in Europe.
Happy New Year!

Sprint Nexus 5

hello im just planning to buy a Sprint Nexus 5, but i want to check if root process, roms, kernels are the same between all carrier variants because im only seeing hammerhead. sorry about the question

There is only 2 nexus 5 variant.
D820 is sold in america
D821 is sold in rest of the world
There is no difference between D820 and D821. A chip on D820 is programmed to work with usa lte networks, while on D821 this chip is programmed to work with lte network outside of the usa. Besides that all nexus is the same, and all sim unlocked.

If you're really planning to buy; not rent a phone, just get it from the Play Store. The 16gb version is cheaper and you can get the 32 gb version if you want, which Sprint doesn't carry. You can get the SIM card from Sprint and activate it, no charge. That unleashes you from any long term commitment to Sprint.

Is the US version the right one for India? Remember there is the D820 for North America and the D821 for the rest of the World

My friends had bought it from there and its working in India without any issue.What is the difference between D820 or D821?
Editk i found the difference.Is it possible to tell them i need D821 when i buy it from US?

No, D821 is only available outside of the US so you'll have to get it from Europe if you want/need the D821 variant

My friend is using his phone which he got from US without any issue so it should work for me also right?

Yes, just not on 4G (unless your network uses the same 4G bands as Us networks)

As of now 3g only thanks a lot for ur help.But do u know the safest and cheaper way to ship it to India other than sending it along with someone.
Coz in india 32gb costs around 34k where as if i buy from US it will cost only 25k but i dont have anyone coming to india anytime soon

NO idea, I'm lucky enough to get it from the Play Store. Good luck

My N5 is from the US i.e. D820. Works perfectly.. And for 4G god in future may bless us with that..

It's more likely to be your network provider giving you 4g but unlikely they'll give it on same band as USA. USA are rebels. Rest of the world adhere to global (or at least national) standards

huawei mate 7 from USA

hey guys
i'm about to buy a mate 7 16gb in brand new condition (box is never opened),
the seller indicates that its a USA model and i'm living in Greece,
the question is ....will it work here? and is there any way i can test the phone or any advice at all?
thanks in advance

You must know the frequencies bands of your carrier...and check if the model that you want buy has these bands
