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.

Can any one try flashing tmobile firmware baseband on the d6633.T-Mobile uses bands 2, 4, and 12*as listed here; 4 is the most widely used band for them. The D6616 model, which is the one specifically for T-Mobile, supports these bands. 12 is the newest band and possibly the least used. There are many phones already on T-Mobile that don't support band 12 because it's the band they recently acquired from Verizon.
I could be wrong but this seems like a recipe for DISASTER.
I agree, its probably not a good idea.
Actually I've flashed d6633 firmwares from all over the world on a d6633 just want those t-mobile 700 band fq on the 6633!
Flashing firmwares from the same model is one thing but a different sub model is generally not a great idea.
If you have a D6633 why don't you contribute to the community and try this yourself?

With se1000 on this, if you are so confident that it has worked for you in that past. Get the phone and flash it, then report back
Flashing another models firmware does nothing to add/remove bands. There is a thread somewhere on XDA about enabling additional bands for devices utilizing Qualcomm chips but root and unlocked bootloader are required.

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

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.

Since the whole device is same will there be any issues if i do it will i face any radio issues?
One way to find out...flash it.
The whole device is not the same. There are some different LTE bands on the phones aren't there?

Technically, it should matter because of the different hardware.
In Brazil, the model sold is the same 920i - which by the way doesn't stand for Indian.
I know people who have installed the Xtrestolite 2.0 which is 5.1.1 for F and T models. The only things that happened is that they can't use the fingerprint scanner or connect to LTE...

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a problem with my galaxy s7 when I lock it into WCDMA only I got no network at all , but it works fine on 2G and 4G .
I flashed it with different firmwares but no solution .
Currently I'm using the original firmware
What model is the phone and where are you located?
As the international model (F/FD) and US models (V/T/P) have a different modem and only the US models can access certain radio networks in the US, and I don't believe US model phones have full band coverage outside the US.
So if you're using the international model in the US, or a US model outside of the US you will have coverage issues.

Was it locally purchased or imported? Might need the CSC for your carrier https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392949

Have you tried flashing with Odin using all 4 files (BL,AP,CP,CSC) that match your country and carrier?
