Hi,
I brought a Moto G from India, before coming the US for doing my masters.
The thing is here it does not pick up 3G or 4G bands. It just works on EDGE.
I wanted to ask if i can use the QPST method to unlock the bands? because I can see no information on it in the forums(for this phone). I am especially confused since it says nothing about dual sim phones and this is the dual sim variant of moto G
It would be great if someone would guide me how i could unlock the bands on my phone.
Regards,
Naved.
I'm almost a 100% sure this wont work but try installing a USA stock rom and a USA stock kernel. But I think the problem is with Sim card though.
Thanks for the help man. I am currently on T-Mobile planning to switch to at and t soon. You think that it'll at least pick up 3g after that?

Dear Akonsand, finally do you know if I can use the QPST method to unlock the bands of the Moto G3 (XT1541)?
I have the same problem that you...
I'm bumping this just in case there are some news on the subject.
I'm stuck on EDGE with an XT1541 in Argentina and i'm not really sure of what to do... Is there some sub-forum with phone exchanges around the world?
Maybe someone's interested on a trade!
There were some successful attempts at unlocking the bands on the Moto E 2015, but for now there's no hope for the G...
How do you guys see it? Do we have any chance? Should we wait?
Thanks everybody!
Very interested as I have a xt1550 but am on o2 UK and would like to enable lte for this carrier

I am a little confused here... Your Indian model phone should get 3G in the US, but not LTE (I hate it when people say "4G", technically speaking even LTE isn't 4G but that is for another thread), in fact, assuming you have the correct SIM and APN settings, your model should get HSPA+ speeds. LTE is out though... let me explain
3G (HSPA/HSPA+) in the US is 850Mhz and 1900Mhz, in India it is 800Mhz and 1800Mhz, the Moto G supports all 4 of these bands, so it should work in the US just fine.
In the US, several bands are used for LTE such as 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, and 41 (granted some bands are very limited or carrier specific), but in India LTE use is exclusively Band 40 by both Aircel and Airtel, and the LTE setup in the Moto G is specific for those countries and does not inter-operate.
So, long story short, with a GSM US carrier SIM and correct APN setup, you should get 3G HSPA+ data connections with no issues on your Indian Moto G, which is probably good enough for most uses and can exceed 8mbps down speeds in many areas.

Hey thanks for the reply man.
I think even HSPA or HSPA+ might not work for me on this phone. I am using a T Mobile family plan here, and comparing th bands given on the website:
"4G (HSPA+)
With 4G, theoretical maximum download speeds range from 21 Mbps up to 42 Mbps. You can take advantage of incredibly fast download speeds, and even use voice and data services at the same time.
Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
3G (HSPA)
With 3G, theoretical maximum download of 14 Mbps. With 3G, you can use voice and data services simultaneously.
Frequencies: Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)"
and the bands my phone supports(from the motorola website)
"Moto G (XT1550)
LTE (1, 3, 7, 8, 28,40) UMTS/HSPA+ (900, 2100, 850 MHz)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)"
It seems that the uplink is unsupported by my phone and so the phone is unable to use the HSPA/HSPA+ bands. I think the only way to use it is to unlock the 1700 MHz band on my phone.
(BTW Tmobile quotes HSPA+ as 4G and thats hilarious lol)

Most us carriers say HSPA+ is 4G...
Tmobile is great in many regards, except if you have an international phone like the Moto G and they do not have the correct bands implemented in your area, which it appears they do not... Honestly, consider moving to AT&T Wireless or an AT&T based MVNO like Cricket, Straight Talk AT&T, or Go Phone, it might cost a little more but you could get HSPA+ with no issues. 850Mhz is AT&T's primary HSPA/HSPA+ frequency, and 1900Mhz is added to congested areas, but this varies by area... before going all in I suggest trying a SIM from a buddy or go the AT&T (corporate) store and ask to test a SIM just to be sure. But regardless you should get UMTS/GSM speeds on AT&T, which is way better than Edge, averaging anywhere from 500kbps-2mbps.
If TMo is essential or you can't change for whatever reason or live without HSPA+/LTE, consider getting a Blu phone or Moto E locally, they are relatively inexpensive (under $150) and are not amazing but will probably do the job.

Cool Alright. I actually had a chance to join AT & T family plan but didn't join it because T-mobile was giving more data :facepalm:
Ill see if i can switch to an AT & T network.
Thanks for your help one again man!

so far i know these are hardware specs and cannot be unlocked or changed.i mean to say moto g 2015 has different variants based upon hardware specs of their band support
If you started using att with your xt1550 ..how is it? Do you get 3g or lte?
I didn't start using it. Currently stuck with a group plan.. But I tried using a friends sim card.. 3g does work well with at n t.

Hey everyone,
My friend is currently in the US and wants to purchase a phone that can be used both in the US and in Europe (more specifically in Hungary) as he's probably going to be travelling between the two continents. If he were to buy the phone through Moto Maker in the US, would everything (phone calls, 2g, 3g, 4g) work as it should? Or 4g wouldn't work? I'm confused by these band-related things.
Thanks in advance for the answers!

2G and 3G would work... 4G/LTE is a different matter entirely.
The "LTE Bands" refer to specific frequency space in the wireless spectrum licensed to carriers in various parts of the world. Your device must have support for the LTE band(s) used by your carrier in order to connect to their LTE service.
US Version supports LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, and 17, these are commonly used LTE Bands in North America... In the European version LTE Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, and 20 are supported and are the most commonly used across the EU. Only 7 overlaps (note that 7 is not in widespread deployment in Europe, only certain carriers in specific areas use it), whether this is good enough would depend on the carrier that would be used in Europe.
You can check what carrier uses what bands here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
Hey guys,
I'm really interested in picking up a 4c, and would be even more inclined to do so if LTE bands can be unlocked (Ideally bands 2, 4 and 12).
This has been done successfully in the past on Xiaomi devices (specifically the Mi Note Pro with the Snapdragon 810). Since the 808 shares a very similar architecture to the 810, I'm hoping it can be done on the 4c successfully.
Here are some resources and guides to start with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/unlock-lte-bands-step-step-xiaomi-mi-t3084774
http://en.miui.com/thread-154862-1-1.html

http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unlock-aditional-bands-qualcomm-t2877031
http://www.xda-developers.com/remove-band-restrictions-qualcomm/
Hopefully someone with a Mi 4c is able to try and confirm their success!
That's very interesting! I wish also band 20 (800 MHz) could be unlocked since it's largely used in Europe.
Mee too interested to unlock (if possibile) 800 mhz
One more interested in the 800. :good:

doesn't have it unlocked but it seems it makes really no difference. Don't trust the few articles from people who did not even test...
I have LTE bands everywhere (work, home, way between) and I live in a zone where it is kinda hard to get...

It depends a lot on what network you're on. The LTE bands that come enabled by default on the 4C don't support any US networks.
800 mhz (band 20) would be great

Hi,
Bought mi4c to find out that I can't get LTE working in my village
I live 12kilometers from a bigger city. There is LTE available in my village but I think they operate on 800MHz and in city at 1,6GHz.
I dreamed about using my new 4g connection here after 3years with Galaxy S3
I have to try these guides. Thank you for providing them.

Noboby tried to unluck bands?
Wouldn't advise in case it bricks the phone. If there is a way to unbrick, then go for it it

In Snapdragon phones there is always a way to unbrick but it could be very frustrating and time intense
I have tested it on many of my snapdragon phones.
On some phones, it works flawlessly. On other, the signal strength is weaken but works nevertheless. However, some phones especially carrier ones have anti tampering mechanism which reverts the value back to original after restart. However, usually this is solved by a custom kernel and custom rom but then again, it gets really tough to get into diag mode in custom modes.
Never had any problems.
But you MUST backup your EFS partition via recovery or using QPST / QXDM else you would have a lot of problems if you messed up the values like no signals or broken wifi or sensors etc. and SAVE them on your phone as well as on your PC. (at least two backups)
As long as you take the above two precautions, you will never mess up your phone!
Its supports LTE band 3 and 7 which is mostly used in europe, middle east and asia. However even after you select "Prefer LTE" from the setting it might not connect.
You can try this (this will change on reboot so will try to see if i can change within the code):
1. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in the diapad.
2. Select phone information 1 (there are two sims so select the first one)
3. Change to LTE/WCDMA (if it doesn't connect to LTE then try "LTE only" and then change it to LTE/WCMDA)
If the above doesn't connect to LTE then your carrier is offering LTE at a different frequency.
For me atleast the default APN were wrong, so i had to manually change the APN restart and then do the dialer thing.

There is NO LTE/WCDMA option only. Please see screenshot and point out what option I'm supposed to pick
screen shot of "phone information 1" --> http://imgur.com/BELHKaO
Which one of those am I supposed to tap on?
I picked "TD-SCDMA, WCDMA and LTE" but that broke network connectivity.
EDIT: Please also take a look at this: http://imgur.com/gallery/yzIHD49
I am currently connected to "3 ITA 3G" and would like to connect to "3 ITA 4G" but tapping on that makes a pop up appear "Registered on network". However no 4G appears in the bar on top. It remains stuck in 3G or H+.
3 ITA doesn't have LTE on band 20 [8oo Mhz LTE].
So why aren't I picking up 4G?
@AndrewIT im not in italy, however from Wiki it seems your carrier supports 4G on band 3 (1800).
select the "3 ITA 4G", then follow my steps. You have to scroll up that list in screenshot http://imgur.com/BELHKaO and you'll see "LTE only" and "LTE/WCDMA" option.

You can see that I successfully picked up 4G signal, but it was extremely poor, only one bar standing close to a window.
As I move inside the house it loses 4G and gets back to 3G or H+.
It seems that I'm way too far from the LTE antenna to get a good 4G signal.
Guys I am kinda lost here, so is there a good chance that it supports especially 800Mhz band or not ? And when I am here, is there hardware difference between TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE version? How do I find out which one I have ?
Hello I'm French and in my country the carrier use the B1 B7 and B20 to connect to network.
But all the xiaomi not use the B20 radion
I see it's possible to unlock B20 for smartphone use Qualcom soc ?
I don't know if is possible to unlock the B20 for the Xiaomi Mi4c ? It use a Qualcom 808 soc.
Please help me for use the B20 in the Xiaomi Mi4c

Unfortunately you can't unlock band 20 at the moment, in fact you might not ever be able to unlock the band. So if it's crucial for you to have band 20, buy a different phone.
However, it's a really nice phone, if if you don't necessarily need the specific band, then this phone is a good buy I believe.
ok thank's a lot
@ggkameleon,
I don't have this phone (yet ) But, my Telco uses Band 20 too.
What I intend to do is use my sim for phone calls/TXT's and get a 'Pay As You Go' LTE sim for Net access.
If you see the most good chines provider don't use B20 Mezu Xiaomi Lenovo why ? And other use it but it's not the more good smartphone or huawei use it but the price are expensive. When you see the last Xiaomi Redmi 3 Redmi note 3 and now MI5 very good smartphone and not expensive.
Hi din't know what is it a 'pay as you go' ?
But if your telco use b20 you can't have 4g lte in b20 ! But if use with b20 the band b7 or b3 the phone connect to b3 or b7 if ist possible or connect to wcdma in 3g network !
But i can't know why meizu pro 5 use the same soc exynos than galaxy s6 and the galaxy s6 work in b20 ! It's not possible to unlock b20 in meizu?

He meant he'll use a second, prepaid sim to get LTE from another provider who uses a different band. Although it's been said that using the dual sim function on this phone reduces battery life quite a bit.
Yes, if you don't have the correct 4G bands, but do have the 3G or 2G bands, your phone will be fully functional, just not have the best speed possible.
It's not just a matter of having the same soc, it's a combination of soc, radio and firmware. In some phones a workaround can be found to unlock the radio, others not.

Ah ! Ok but if they are a provider don't use B20 go it ! Don't use two provider ? Ok it's not possible to unlock.
Me in my country (France) They are 4 provider Free use 2600 for 4g, but it's a new provider and they are not many radio in 4g and even less 3g I test it's not possible. Bouygues use for 4g 1800 2600 and a little 800 it's the best for chinese smartphones but where I leave there are not radio Orange use for 4g 800 2600 and in radio there are two band in city but in campaign only 800 Sfr use 800 2600 and use a lot of 800 and it's actually my provider. I speak with users of chinese phone the best are Bouygues or Orange because the one don't use many 800 and the second if don't possible to use 800 the phone go to H+ (wdcma 900) and the speed of 4g 800 it's the almost the same of H+ wcdma 900 !?
If I buy a Xiaomi or Meizu I do change my provider but the smartphone do use the 3G Wdcma 900 ! I believe do use it.
The problem now it's Xiaomi block the boot loader of the new phones ? I see the new Redmi note 3 Pro it's a more good quality but It's more complicated to change language and don't use B20 ! I'm disappointed.... I stay to see what Xiaomi make for international customers.

Ok i understand
Yes it's not a good idea to use 2 different provider one don't use b20 and one use it !
Because if you have a provider don't use b20 go for this provider Because you paid 2 provider ! It's just if you are in contract you can make this option but it's more expensive.
In France all provider use b20 ! Only one don't use but there are not enought radio.
Thank you for your message I understand it's to complicated to unlock band and it's possible to use only in 3g.
Yes, too complicated or simply not possible with the hardware. Whatever the case, 3G can be more than sufficient.. I have never done anything with my phone that required more speed than 3G.
However, the phone does have a lot of other LTE bands, be sure to double check if there's not one that matches, it was the case for me.
1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe according to this, there should be enough in france that match to provide normal LTE operation.
Free Mobile is fine for Mi4c you know
I have LTE in outdoor in all Paris (indoor i'm always on wifi)
Thank you for your support and link
Actually my provider are Sfr (because I have a promotion for one year 10€ calls/sms unlimited ans 20go of data) and I do not want to break this wonderful contract
This provider use fifty/fifty FDD B20 800mhz/B7 2600mhz and UMTS B8 900mhz/B1 2100mhz
That good for Xiaomi Meizu FDD-LTD except FDD B20 800mhz
But there are a new problem with Chinese smartphones the Boatloder are lock now
I use Apple phones after Samsung with 3gs 4s and 5s but now the price of their phones are to much and not as high as the difference of Use Android phones ! It's stupid now to buy a smartphone than 800/1000$ it's not possible to my heart and my wife said go out of home if you buy it !!! Paid us a travel and buy another phones. she's right you know.
I like Xiaomi phones and I stay for the mi5......

Unfortunately you can't unlock band 20 at the moment, in fact you might not ever be able to unlock the band. So if it's crucial for you to have band 20, buy a different phone.
However, it's a really nice phone, if if you don't necessarily need the specific band, then this phone is a good buy I believe.

Wat about other bands ?
i used also my Mi4c with 2 SIM cards (one private with Free operator and the second one with SFR for pro usage). No real problem with 800mhz band used by the two operators.
Ok thank you

The problem will be in a zone where the SFR antenna will deliver 4G only on the unsupported band, you will have only 3G.
That'all. So, it's up tio you to test in the main zone you are, what bands are used by SFR.

Yeah i read all that ...i was hopiing
thx tho....i can still use band 7 here LTE is doing great ...band 4 would be nice for full coverage especially inside building and metro ...
I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated from my p7p cellular connectivity, especially 3G.
It is almost nonexistent, I tried to flash multiple roms , factory images , different carriers , rooting , with no use.
I tried using network guru to force the modem to use wcdma , with no luck .. I spotted my phone using wcdma UMTS couple of times , so there is no defect in the modem .
I'm always unreachable unless I forced it to use GSM .
Any idea how to resolve it , or workaround it ?
Can I erase modemst1 /2 and check ,or it is risky ?
Please I need help
Are you in the USA? Because 3G is either phased out or will be very soon for most networks.
I have to ask "why" are you trying to use 3G? The phone is capable of 5G and in the event that 5G is spotty you can turn 5G off and use 4G/LTE exclusively which will allow you to make calls and have data access at the same time. 3G is nearly obsolete. YMMV

I know, but here in Jordan ,3g still active for calls , volte is only provided by one carrier. And naturally, you won't be able to call using only lte coz by default, when you make a call , the phone switches from lte to 3g, and when 3g is unavailable it switches to GSM . And it's going to take long time to switch between those bands. I'm mostly unreachable by this process
So by default it's NR/LTE/ wcdma / GSM ..

Meanwhile here people have no idea what volte is and carriers dont enable it by default, i have to call them to enable it for me every time i switch a phone. 3G is still the most used network for calls there, even though 4G has even better and more stable coverage. I live in the european union.
I am only familiar with 3G with Verizon in the United States with the US version of the p7p with Verizon modem. The bands associated with 3G Verizon work well when you are outside of major cities and go more rural. But, max speeds of CDMA with Verizon bands are sub optimal at 1mbps. The call quality is great though as the old Verizon commercials "can you hear me now" reflect.
