I need some help from the developers on this forum. I live in Botswana and both carriers here are GSM 900, which is the most 'popular' European carriers frequency. Few days ago I ordered the LTE version Shield Tablet from USA. In the specifications that I found the North American version radio has support for other frequencies than European -
North America LTE: Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 17 (1900, 1700, 850, 2600, 700)
HSPA+: Bands 1, 2, 4, 5 (2100, 1900, 1700, 850)
Outside-North America LTE: Bands 1*, 3, 7, 20 (2100/1800/2600/800)
HSPA+: Bands 1, 2, 5, 8 (2100/1900/850/900)
My question is if there is any chance for me to flash the European firmware to change the supported GSM carriers or this will be impossible?

Nope. No chance at all.

Hello folks. First of all I would like to apologize if I am posting in the wrong forum. I have searched for almost a week now for an hour daily, and cannot find a definitive answer. WILL MY PHONE WORK ON T-MOBILE IN THE UNITED STATES? Seems like a straightforward question, but if you read on, you will understand the source of my confusion!
I am quite confused and somewhat concerned about the issue of Band 12. Does the Canadian version of the Moto G have band 12 or not. My reason for this concern is that I am traveling to Florida (from Canada) for Christmas, and after some reading I have concerns about whether or not my phone will work. I subscribe to Roam Mobility which uses T-mobile when in the U.S. The Motorola website indicates that the U.S. version of the Moto G 2015 DOES NOT use band 12 (disabled by T-Mobile recommendation), while the Canadian version DOES. But I have also read somewhere online that the Canadian version DOES NOT use band 12. I initially thought this was a good thing. But after some digging it appears that because I (may) have band 12, but do not have Voice Over LTE, I may not be able to make calls on the Moto G3. From what I am reading if band 12 is in use, it will not drop back to 2g/3g for phone calls. The calls won't work on T-mobile band 12 because it is used for VoLTE which the Moto G3 does not have. Can anyone confirm one way or the other if the Moto G3 Canadian version does or doesn't have band 12, and will the Moto G3 work on T-Mobile in the U.S. Thanks for any help you can offer. Gotta get this figured out!! Thanks all for any info you can offer.

Hi,
I have reported this thread to be moved to the right Q & A section where you might be able to get help quickly.
From motorola.ca, LTE 12 is listed:
Bands (by model)
Moto G - GSM (XT1540)
LTE (2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 1700/AWS, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Moto G - ACG, Republic Wireless, Sprint Prepaid, US Cellular, Virgin Mobile (XT1548)
LTE (2, 4, 5, 12, 17, 25, 26)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 1700, 1900 MHz)
CDMA (800, 850, 1900 MHz)
TD-LTE (41 TD2500)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Yes, as stated in my opening post Motorola shows band 12 on their website. But I don't thoroughly trust that, as band 12 previously showed on the US website as well, but has been removed. I have read online on another site that band 12 has been disabled on the Canadian version as well.

Here is the network support I found from t-mobile support website. The following data means at least T-mobile S7/S7 edge can be used in china and even Asia countries. But it didn't say that it will support CDMA. Anyone has any data to show that sprint version will support the following bands? I have talked with sprint, they said that as long as we pay it in full price. The phone can be unlocked. If it can be unlocked, and it can support the following bands, then sprint version can be universal. But when I was chatting with sprint representative, The rep said that he doesn't know the specification.

Does the XT1541 model supports the following network frequency range?
LTE (4G)
FDD band 3 (1700~1800 MHz)
FDD band 8 (900~960 MHz)
I have checked gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_(3rd_gen)-7247.php though I prefer to be 110 % sure.

The XT1541 supports LTE Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, and 20, according to multiple sources... all we are going to do is Google it just like you, but when all sources agree I don't think there is much chance it is wrong.
FrequencyCheck, GSM Arena, and Wikipedia all agree... If you are still in doubt, use https://willmyphonework.net/ and check your specific situation.
Anyone know if the HK U11+ will work with USA Verizon? I can't match up the bands, but I have been using an HTC one M9 for 3 years now fine, and those bands don't match up either. Here's what I have:
