Does anyone know what version (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) the Tencent ROG 5 is? I rushed to purchase the phone (hasn't arrived yet) and then read conflicting articles on band frequency support.
My rural area only supports 2, 12, 66 and 71 (t-mobile) bands. Says on the Asus site that some versions of the phone support these bands but I'm guessing the Chinese version doesn't.

Was trying to look up if a firmware update would open all bands up but haven't found specific word on that.
Thanks in advanced

mine is tencent edition (chinese), and the model is "I005DA".
hope this helps.
also i belive that bands are hardware limited, even if the phone is converted to global ROM, it would still support only its original bands.

I've ordered the European Global version from the official Asus e-store, shipped from Ireland and it is the A version: I005DA. Came with an EU charger in the box etc. I've also saw others reporting that the Tencent CN version also has the same bands. Although I'd warn you about bootloader unlocking issues with Tencent flashed to Global, because they tend to relock the bootloader after converting the phone to WW, the owner may no longer be able to unlock it the second time.
🔴WARNING 🔴: if you plan to unlock the bootloader & root your device, read this ❗❗❗
If yo u are planning on unlocking the bootloader and rooting, then get either the global version, or Tencent (which is Chinese market version) but it has to be on Chinese ROM so you can unlock the bootloader. if it is Tencent edition with global...

Note, that it is possible to play around with supported bands on Snapdragon using low level tools - described for OnePlus before - but those modified modem parts may get lost upon an update.
I005DA bands for you:

Both the European WW and the Tencent CN version seems to be the A version: I005DA.
Supported bands:

They seem to respect both B20 for Europe and B71 for T-mobile USA. Version A has all bands you are interested in. I think they realized, that if they travel to the EU or the US they would make themselves * by omitting common rural LTE bands...

Versions A, B, E, F are good for you; versions C, G, H are not. It is hard to trust a Chinese seller on being precise about the device version. Although Tencent seems to be version A, beware of the Tencent CN converted to WW and relocked: you may no longer be able to unlock the bootloader the second time.

All 4G LTE devices from Verizon are sim unlocked.
I used the Verizon model on my carrier and worked perfect. Hardware is identical. Only issue I'm having is with the SMSC, but, I think it's the pixel software cause both the unlocked and verizon model do it.

Locked bootloader and the Verizon model doesn't have all bands like the google store version.
Zboy2 said "The difference in bands between the google store version and the vzw version
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."
But yes it works on all U.S. Carriers
The Verizon model is not missing any bands. I've used it successfully on band 12 on both T-Mobile and att. Proven by *#info.
Same radio and no missing bands. Verizon just does not advertise them.

The Verizon version which is the US version G-2PW4100 has
GSM: Quad-band GSM
UMTS/WCDMA: Bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 (850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz)
CDMA2000: BC0, BC1, BC10 (800/1900 MHz)
FDD LTE: Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30
TDD LTE: Band 41
International version G-2PW4200 ie. UK and India have
GSM: Quad-band GSM
UMTS/WCDMA: Bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 19 (800/850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz)
CDMA2000: BC0 (800 MHz)
TDS-CDMA: Bands 34, 39
FDD LTE: Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 26, 28, 32
TDD LTE: B 38, 39, 40, 41
And like I said before it works on all US carriers.
The hardware is suppose to be identical. ALL VZW 4g LTE phones are required to be sim unlocked by the feds. It's part of their licensing deal for the spectrum they use for 4g. If you buy an iPhone at Verizon it can be used on any other network. Not the case if you purchase the same from AT&T. There should be no reason a Verizon pixel won't work on t-mobile or anyone else in the US.
The only real difference is the bootloader is not able to be unlocked.... But depixel8 has fixed that issue.... For now.
I own both the VZW and GS models. I can use both interchangeably on Fi, TMO, and VZW. No issues.

Thanks for all your help everyone. Looks like I won't be going with OnePlus 7 Pro.

In most markets, at the moment, It would appear sprint is just calling their 2.5GHz, Band 41 LTE as 5G. They are doing some backend stuff with 40-60MHz channels and adjustable sub-carrier frequencies for 5G NR, however, at the moment you won't be seeing any huge improvements as theyre still using their 20 MHz channels with simultaneous connections and MIMO.

That is 100% correct.
I rushed to buy this phone and bought it from Amazon where they said the phone shipped from Hong Kong. I am in the USA and use AT&T. Unfortunately I don't get any 5G signal, even though it's included in my service and the SIM card is 5G capable along with the IMEI being registered with AT&T. Besides 5G not working, the 4G coverage is super slow and I was thinking it was probably because the phone itself doesn't cover sufficient bands available in the USA because my last ROG Phone 2 was super fast in every way. Does anyone know how to unlock the bands for 5G or at least more 4G LTE bands please?!? I really can't stand these speeds
Your carrier would have to add them to the service. The bands you have are set by the hardware. You can't unlock them.
it is tied to your hardware. Youre screwed.. but please dont tell me you paid the premium on the phone just because its was on amazon? You could have gotten the same glorified tablet for 600-700 elsewhere

Who is going to buy it? Now that the proper local versions have released, the resale on a used foreign version is going to be about $200 (unless you pay shipping back to the origin country), meaning you are still around $800 short of buying the same phone.

Interesting. I'm on AT&T with a 5g plan and sim, and I have yet to see the 5g icon. After spending some time with AT&T support verifying my IMEI etc, I still have had no luck and 5g is definitely active in my area. I have also purchased the phone direct from the US Asus store.

Thanks for these. I'm going to try adding the settings that you used under bearer and see if it changes anything on my phone. I won't be able to try until later but will let you know.
The samsung devices list GID under MVNO and 53FF under value but if I do that on my phone the APN vanishes.
Hopefully Bmayne responds with their setup too since I have the same device.
Billy, thanks for asking about the APN. I didn't think to look at that. Apparently it's a new APN I haven't seen before. Here it is.

You can see your model in Settings -> About -> Regulator Information. The last letter should be version letter.
I just got an SM-G996U1 US variant snapdragon 888, however, it does not natively support n78 band 5G that is used in my country, is there anything I can do to enable it?
I have tried the revice menu but it is to no avail.
csc is XAA.
Thank you for lending your time.

Hi mate
I am afraid not , that band is available only on the exynos models and to the
SM-G9960
SM-G9968Snapdragon 888China
Hong Kong
Japan2G GSM: GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
3G WCDMA: B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900)
4G LTE: Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 66
5G: Bands n1, n5, n41, n78, n79
But i doubt you can flash a G9960/8 firmware into a US variant
Which country are you from Australia?

I somehow made it work by playing around on the service menu.

Great
You should explain how you did it , so other can benefit from your finds
Probably really not enabled.

n78 frequency activation successful on g996u1?
Is that possible?

I am still doing some research on why 5G is showing up.

I tested the speeds with a local device that supports n78 band and it is at par. I am also baffled with what is happening.

Can you reveal your valuable solution here?
I also need n78 frequency unlock
Please tell us how you did it
Probably he has done it on Android 11 where the service menu was accessable
Now, there is no valid solution yet to activate or access to service menu on Android 12
Same issue I also need a solution. Android 12 unfortunately
Been here about 5 years at XDA, mostly just a lurker from time to time. I found it very interesting about enabling additional base for the US bands S22.
I bought the UK version at launch, wanted the dual SIM and eSIM as well, as I travel often around Asia and previous dual SIM models were extremely handy.
Here in Japan, 5G is very strong, hitting 900+Mbps when I hit a band that my phone supports, however the bands allocated for 5G in Japan are the 3.7 GHz band (n77, n78), the 4.5 GHz band (n79), and the 28 GHz band (n257). n77, n78, n79 and n257 (NTT Docomo).
The UK model supports 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 25, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66, 75, 77, 78- so I am missing the n79, and n257 which has the best coverage here in Japan.
I would appreciate any feedback you may have, I have tried the US model instructions in the other posts, however I can't get into that service menu dialing the short code.
Many thank in advance. Wes
I'm on S9080 and would love to know as well...
