Absolutely no difference between a D820 and a D821 except the LTE bands they access. They share the same firmware.
There is a thread in the General section for activating one or two specific bands which aren't officially supported, but only do it if absolutely necessary.

Can u link ?
I have d820 and i need to access 1800mhz LTE

[Q] Can I unlock Moto G LTE 1039(GB)'s other radio bands?

I have a new Moto G LTE 1039, it is a Great Britain version radio, only support LTE Band 3/7/20.
But my local ISP support LTE Band 1.There is a Europe/Australia version, it has a Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20.
Can I unlock my phone LTE bands by install other EU/AU Stock Firmware?
By the way, and HOW TO?

Thank you, I had read the pages. I found that th main idea is that I should use the QPST to do it,
not to swap to other system version(e.g. EU/AU). It that true?
And if I have unlock the other LTE bands, need I install the EU/AU system version, or still use the GB version?

[Q] LMY47D or LMY47I

Hey guys, quick question.
In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327 it says "Current firmware: Android Android 5.1, Build LMY47D or LMY47I, depending on country.".
What's this depending on country? What countries have what versions?
In this site http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-5/hammerhead/ it says "LMY47I was only released to LGD821 devices with SIM cards from certain countries and carriers.".
My question is what phones should install what versions?
The D820 is the North American version, and the D821 is the Rest of the World version right?
Thanks for your attention. :good:

Either should be fine. Everything in the D821 is the same as the D820 with the exception of which radio bands they can access.

OK. So, even the D820 can install the 47I version? I thought that the software was different because it has to "control" different bands.
Thanks for your answer! :good:
D820 and D821 are nearly the "same" devices but sold in different regions ( The only difference is the supported bands ).

So the software that controls the bands is the same although they are different?

Yes. The same applies for bootloaders, radios, kernels...

OK. Thanks. I always thought the software would be slightly different on the two phones because of the different bands.

I believe the only difference is d821 is for international carriers and d820 is for US carriers only. I don't think it matters which model you use for the rom.
Edit: I would check with the rom developer and see which model is compatible with model.

Wrong LTE band

I have purchased the US LTE version Insted of the GLOBAL one(I need 1800MHz)
I try to flash to the European Lte version but I failed .
with this website :carbontesla.com/2014/12/shield-tablet-wifi-lte-android-5-0-1-stock-rom
and when I flash from zip I get:

Please help me
I may have some bad news for you. ?
You can't change the modem bands on these tablets because the actual modem firmware on the chip prevents the other bands on the ROM from passing the security check. So the US bands will load regardless of the fact you have the global ROM loaded.
I'm in Australia, facing the same issue. I just flashed the US WiFi ROM so it cripples the modem stack and use my Nexus 5 to tether.
hi guys..
im from Malaysia and also have problem with this..
i bought it from local seller and its (US) AT&T model...so i cant use it with my local line..
any idea/method to get it work?

Flashing Another Model's Modem ?

Hey Guys!
So I have just gotten an S7 (930S) and apparently, there is a mismatch between the bands present in the phone and the one offered by my network. I would like to know if I flash 930F modem on my phone would that be ok or not? I just want to flash the modem as well as the CSC of the 930F model. I hope someone can take the timeout to reply to my query.
Thanks

Yes you can, hardware is the same. However when you talk about network bands I assume your talking about the difference between networks using GSM and networks using CDMA? In which case you need to flash firmware which uses CDMA radios.

Well, when I am talking about Bands I am talking about the frequencies in which they operate. For example, my network offers the UMTS 900 frequency, but that frequency is missing from my current modem.
Therefore, I am assuming that if I flash the 930F model's modem, which does supoort the UMTS 900 frequency, I will be able to operate on the UMTS 900 frequency. Can you confirm me on that?
Or will I have to flash the 930F firmware on my phone to operate on the UMTS 900 frequency?

Yes 930F will work and install the radios you require.
The problem I am facing right now is that although the modem (Shannon335) on my phone (G930S - Korean) is the same as that on the international model (930F). But my phone (G930S) does not support one of the bands that my network supports which is UMTS 900 and that band is supported on the international version , although hardware wise (both are Shannon335) they are both the same.
So, I was thinking if i change my modem, currently its a South Korean modem and flash the international version modem could it work and make the band work for me?

Yes it should work
Thank You very much.
I would also like to know how should I choose and which modem to flash on my phone. Which things should I match and what to avoid during the flashing process. I have currently U1 security level modem, so when I flash another modem should it be U1 level as well?

To avoid problems you must match the modem to the version of firmware you are using, so yes U1 to U1. Flash the modem separately via Odin
