Unlock 4G lte bands verizon M8?

Hi,
I'm using a verizon M8 on a non-verizon network. The Verizon version should support 4G LTE on band 3 and 14 (the hardware should even support 3,4,7,13). My provider supports 4G LTE on band 3 and 7, yet i don't receive 4G.
I'm guessing Verizon locks 4G to their network. Is there any way to unlock my phone so i can use 4G LTE with my provider? (T-mobile NL)
I am willing to do anything. Already reflashed my phone with verizon ROM but that doesn't help obviously because it's not a stock rom..
Thanks!
There is a working solution for the Android:

I think, there IS a way to adopt it to the Windows Phone.

Any news how to activate lte band?

Is the North American Note 5 all-bands universal LTE?

I'm asking this because I'm thinking of the upcoming Moto X Pure which will support "all" North American LTE bands, making it a universal carrier phone. If I could buy any unlocked North American Note 5 and bring it to Verizon, that would get around the locked bootloader on the Verizon version of the device. Has anyone checked what LTE bands the NA N5 supports yet?
doubt it

No they are not universal. Different carriers use different frequencies. Sounds like the Moto plans are being capable of all those frequencies.

Verizon Pixel Bands vs Google Store Pixel Bands

Are the bands on both the same or different. The Verizon Pixel XL seems to be lacking band 7, 12,17 26, 29, 30. Verizon has a habit of blocking essential bands so they don't work on LTE with other carriers in North America such as ATT and Tmobile. Can someone confirm? Thanks.

All VZW LTE phones are carrier unlocked. Most of these phones have bands to work on TMO and ATT. My son used a VZW Note 3 for a few years on TMO. The VZW Pixel should have all the same bands as the Google Store version. We'll find out in a few days but I'd bet you'll be fine.
Yes all of us know verizon phones are UNLOCKED. But they DONT have ALL THE BANDS that ATT and Tmobile use. The note 3 has band 4 and 13 and lacks band 17 and 12 so if you have ATT and tmobile where they use band 12 or 17 it will revert TO 3G SPEEDS. I use ATT And VZW . If I am buying the VZW model i want FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF ALL THE BANDS that the google store Pixel xl offers. NOT THE HALF ASSED with BANDS MISSING NOTE 3 or Samsung esque like versions.
google store pixel lte bands: FDD LTE: B 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/20/25/26/28/29/30 TDD LTE 41
VZW pixel LTE BANDS 2,3,4,5,7, 13, 20,28 Missing BANDS 1,8, 12, 17, 25,26,29 and 30.

Thanks for that but do you realize 3 years ago TMO didn't use band 12 in Chicago let alone anywhere because they didn't own the spectrum so that's a non issue. Around here TMO primary LTE band is still 4. Three years ago the VZW Note 3 worked perfectly w/ TMO, ATT I don't care about since I nver use them. The VZW Pixel will have all bands, to change that they need a different radio which isn't going to happen since Google is in charge of the software not to mention the hardware is the same for both, wait 3 days we'll see for sure.

Won't happen, I'd bet on it. They will be the same, VZW is known for lying a little.
They DONT need different chipsets or hardware for different bands. I am in the hardware industry. You can have the same chipset and lock different bands via different firmware. The qualcomm chips allow for that.
Can someone please confirm this? I am in the same boat as the OP. Want to use ATT Band 12/17 on the VZW model Pixel. I had to flash AT&T firmware onto my Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge in order to unlock these LTE bands. Hoping that since this is a more "vanilla" phone it may have the bands unlocked already.
I was wondering about this as well. I was going to just go to Verizon store and buy it since they have Pixel XL in stock but I am not sure if it has Band 12 for T-Mobile. Any information on this would help! Thanks guys!
Doesnt seem to be good news some guy on the pixel xl forum used att sim with the verizon pixel and only getting H+ speed. So lets see. Dont believe the PC mag article one bit. They said the boot loader was unlocked but turned out to be LOCKED.

Can Indian Note 7 Pro LTE Bands be modded for USA

Have been using Redmi series of phones for a while. My son plans to be in US for 13 months. Indian Note7 pro only is compatible with two LTE Bands in US that too only from T Mobile and with one LTE Band of AT&T.
https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/redmi-note-7-pro is the link I used to check compatibility.
Even Mi A3 Indian version got only 2 LTE Bands, same as Note 7 pro.
Wonder if anyone knows if there are other LTE bands enabled, but not listed? Also, if there is any mod by which you can enable other LTE Bands like B2 and B4?
Any info will be really helpful.

Is the phone a USA version?
If its indeed the USA version, You will have similar service on both ATT and TMobile but you will be missing band 14 on ATT which might effect your service. Also, you are unlikely to have much 5G coverage if that matters to you as this phone only has 3 of 5 ATT 5G bands and 2 of 4 TMobile 5G bands. The missing 5G bands are of the mmWave veriety so the only 5G you can get is 5G Nationwide which might actually be slower than 4G/LTE depending on the area.
