Hi guys. I've just found out that there are different versions of Lenovo P2. I've found the p2a42 version on the cheap (less than 190€) but it has no B20 LTE. Is it possible to unlock this band considering the fact that there are some versions that have it active? And apart from LTE bands are there other differences between other phone versions?
Are you sure it doesn't support b20?
Mine does it, that's why I'm asking.
If it's really a version without b20,
you should only buy it, if you can live without it.
I didn't hear of an unlock method for the P2.
Best regards
There are ONLY 2 versions in terms of hardware.
P2a42 has 32GB storage and has B20. (International version )
P2c72 has 64GB storage and does not have B20. (Chinese version )
However, you may get confused because sometimes they take the p2c72 hardware and put the p2a42 software (to get English rom).
You can search p2c72 on these forums for more info.

Is there any way that I can buy the EU\Asia or Chinese variant of OnePlus 3 in US from OnePlus or flash a custom ROM or kernerl to get LTE Band 3 on the US variant?
OnePlus AMA going on over @ Reddit, there is no 32GB model coming.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4o308u/oneplus_ama_oneplus_3dition/
as all three models are sporting the Snapdragon 820 you will most likely find it is a ROM lock to certain bands and so flashing the EU/Asia ROM will open up Band 3, Otherwise CM13.
i am interested in finding this out also?
thank you

It actually might be locked on the Modem side.
Since there were tools to unlock the Bands for OP1, there might some tools coming to do the same for OP3.
Did anybody find a modem file to flash? Or a way to do this?

why would you bump a 3 month old thread instead of the latest one with research and info about people doing it?
Hi,
As titled, I would like to know if P1C72 ROW, has all lte bands or which lte bands he has?
A ROW rom will only work on a ROW phone, correct? I mean, if the phone is CN won´t accept or work with a ROW rom, or am I wrong?
Thank you

Many have successfully flashed p1a42 firmware (ROW) over p1c72 (CN) including myself. Others have reported that more LTE bands were then unlocked but I can't vouch for that as my LTE carrier also supports some bands already useable by the CN model, so I won't know for sure

Thank you for the information. That sounds correct for what I read on russian forum.
Hi All, I have a China purchased P1c72 and updated it and it went pear shaped, I have managed to load a ROM that operates (P1a42_S152_160126_ROW) but it appears to have messed up my sim settings, none been seen, when I do the #### region code thing, it has no option for UK/Ireland...anyone able to help, maybe help me find a ROM or easyimage.zip to get a fix
Fixed.... Restored the qcn in recovery, have the sim working.
I found out there're 3 different models here.
North America model
Europe / Asia model
China model
Since we are close to China, I think I'm getting a China model. What's bugging me is I don't know if custom ROMs posted in OP3 Android Development sections will compatible with China model. I came from a device which have 14 different models with single-dual sim & regional mixed it's all so confusing that I ended up flashing incompatible ROMs several times. Can anyone help me confirm that please?
Just got my Chinese model today. Unlocked bootloader, flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_011_all_1607052050_0e5983ace5314161 and rooted. Everything seems to work fine.
It came with Hydrogen OS (and full of Chinese crapware)

Could you flash a North American model baseband to test if the China model and US model are essentially the same? Both of the two are named A3000 after all.

Hey guys, i have just got my op9pro. All of a sudden i see all these posts about the Indian ver not getting 5g bands and etc.
The confusing part is, i have the LE2120 which supposedly is the Chinese ver and also the Indian...!!
The Chinese has more bands and the Indian not?
Anyone mind explaining this to me please.
Indian is LE2121
https://cacombos.com/device/LE2120 LE2120 is Chinese variant and here is listed of supported bands and combinations.
https://cacombos.com/device/LE2121 No 5G bands from Indian variant yet because missing details from log. Have to test Indian variant on 5G networks and log data to complete list.
I want to flash a different region firmware (in this case korean) on my device, an s20 plus unlocked (with csc xaa). The reason is that I wish to unlock 5g band n78 that the us firmware of my device does not support. I know that I cannot flash a european exynos firmware, but the korean model SM g986n has the same soc (snapdragon 865) and is single sim. In another thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flashing-from-sm-g986n-to-sm-g986u1.4072579/) the owner of a Korean s20 plus attempted to do the opposite and supposedly failed, because its korean model lacked mmwave 5g antennas that the american model supports (albeit probably calibration on the chipset is different). So thit is my question: is the reverse operation possible? Do I risk to brick the phone because of hardware limitations? Do I have to unlock the bootloader to flash the korean firmware or samsung frp tool could do the trick? I am open to suggestions here, thank you in advance.
