[Q] Will Asian N7105 LTE work in the USA?

Each day more and more threads and comments appear regarding the Samsung Note 2, specifically the N7105 LTE version. However, I have yet to stumble across a strong enough thread discussing the cross-carrier compatibility of the N7105 version of the Note 2.
I own the SHV-E250L Korean Model of the N7105/LTE and it works wonderfully - a truly beautiful pho- well, phablet. However, I am concerned now that it might not work in the US when I return home in 8 months. Can anyone FOR SURE confirm or deny this? I know the US has LTE/4G capability across multiple carriers...and isn't the N7105 quadband? Meaning it can support 4 different band frequencies? Are any of these compatible with US 4g/LTE bands?
If I'm going to be limited to 3g in the US with this phone then I will return it and buy either the International or US version or get an altogether different phone that will work both here in Korea and back in the States.
Any one have good information (preferably with sources) that they can offer?
Also, regardless of whether I have to return it or not, I would like to be able to root and un-root the phone to use its full capacity. Well, I have already rooted it using Odin and CWM but now I need the Stock ROM for the N7105 so I can un-root it if I need to return it or use the Warranty. Anyone know where I can find this or can tell me how to un-root/reset the counter?
Thanks all!

Thanks for the advice. I found these specs for the N7105:
------------
Cellular Phone
Cellular Networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS900 (B8), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1)
Cellular Data Links: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+
Secondary Cellular Phone
Dual Cellular Network Operation: Parallel operation
Secondary Cellular Networks: LTE2600 (B7), LTE800 (B20)
Secondary Cellular Data Links: LTE
-------------
So according to this and the information about US Networks I found and cross-referenced with, it looks like this phone WILL work both on 3G and 4G/LTE. Yay!
Anyone see a flaw in my conclusion? Also, anyone know if this version, N7105, comes factory unlocked?

Hi,
I was thinking about getting the N7105 Galaxy Note II but also wanted to make sure that it would work on the 4G networks available in the US. Can I ask where you found the specs for the N7105? I can't seem to find anything absolutely reliable (for example, GSM Arena claims that the N7100 has 4G LTE which I don't think is correct). Wikipedia lists the following bands for AT&T and T-Mobile's 4G networks in the US:
AT&T: 4G LTE @ 700 MHz and 1700/2100 MHz (AWS)
T-Mobile: 4G LTE @ 1700/2100 MHz (AWS)
There are other bands listed for T-Mobile's HSPA+ 3G/4G (1700/1900/2100 MHz), but from what I've heard, this isn't quite as fast as 4G LTE. So I'm not sure how the specs you've listed for the N7105 match up to these purported carrier network specs.
I found somewhere else saying that the AT&T's American SGN2 would be pretty much be identical to the International N7105 except for the addition of a radio for AT&T's special 700 MHz brand of 4G LTE.

I was asking the same question because the info I found here was very confusing:
https://plus.google.com/104808734671951792726/posts/1PPwSYWc6J9
I am pretty sure that the international variant has QHD screen as well. See here: http://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/lg-D855

At one time it was said the cheaper one 16gb 2gb would have a 1080p screen. .. but don't really know. .I don't think it has been confirmed or not

F400S, F400K, F400L are the Korean variants. LTE see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53052779&postcount=47

My F400L shows the LTE Bands are 1, 3, 5, 7 and 17.

Does LTE work in the UK ?

Does anyone have a credible info about the official inter'l version specifically for asia. I cant see band 1(2100Mhz) bandwidth for LTE anywhere.
The G2 had almost every band for LTE inter'l version. Hope this one will be the same.
Curse the android Gods if not.:crying::crying::crying:

Hardware:
K version supports:
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS2100 (B1)

LTE2100 (B1), LTE850 (B5), LTE2600 (B7)
Software:
K version - Less bloat of the 3 carriers. About 10 less Korean apps than SK Telecom. HAS a 140 char limit on SMS.
S version - In my experience with my F240S and F320S it has the most bloat. Is the most expensive and but has no sms limit. However check the frequency bands match your carrier (For example AT&T T-mobile etc etc)
L Version - No sms limits (Not 100% confirmed), more S-korea carrier bloatware than K, but less then the S version.

Yes, even Korean model of G2 named F320 had support for Eulopean LTE band 7 2600MHz

I tried using LTE Band 7 only SIM in Hong Kong with my F400L and it works fine. For your information, Hong Kong uses both LTE Band 3 and LTE Band 7. Some carriers are LTE Band 3 only, and some with both Band 3 and Band 7.

I got F400S from ebay with 800 us dollars and free shipping.

For Reference Price in Hong Kong is about
F400S - $5300-5400
F400L - $4900-5000
800USD seems very expensive.

what is the best for roms and updates easy and faster to comes first ?

I don't know, I bought an S version because it has LTE-A on battery cover. I don't use LTE but it is ok for Romania if I want to get a LTE plan. I heard it's ok also for US AT&T.

i mean there is locked bootloader like the sony z2 cause i had sony z2 with locked bootloader and its possible to open it and root it so is it the same with lg ?
and yes i have lte

It seems root can be made easily. I am waiting for the device in few days. Anyway I'll try the method from towelroot first as it seems it works with almost all phones, including Samsung new Knox devices without tripping Knox.

thanx alot for your helping
last question is what you recommended for me if i have these bands in my area
LTE is 1800MHz
3g is 2100mhz
2g gsm 900 /1800 mhz

I think you have the same bands like me so S or K it is fine.

Will the Euro Version work on T-Mobile?

Here are the specs:

Since there is no T-mo availability announcement, I am thinking of buying if it will work.
Thoughts?

Nobody?

It doesn't appear like it will. Here is a link to ensure frequencies (you need all of them from what I understand) https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/4988

US T-mobile is 1700 and 2100 MHz, the international version of the G3 only supports 2100MHz out of those two frequency's. It looks like you need both. According to the Wikipedia they are rolling out 700MHz and 1900MHz which the international G3 supports 700MHz so you may be able to use this band (if they use it).

Thank.s will cancel my order, since we now have a release date for tmo...

Edit:
Here is some more info from the same topic about UK carriers with Korean phones:
"Anybody happen to know which of these would work best on the UK 3 Network. I'm guessing it shouldn't be a problem due to 3 being UMTS2100, LTE1800 and but i heard something about an addition of LTE800 later this year. Anyone care to confirm/deny?
I don't think any of them support LTE800, its normally LTE850."
"I think the Lor K is your best best. There seem to be more bands supported than LG and the info lets on. I thought I was going to have an issue because I was sent a F400L and not the F400K I asked for. But in the end it was fine and I could get LTE 1800."
