Mi 8 qcn is available (thx to @ JR_44 When I open it in a hex editor to swap out the IMEIs I dont see anything relevant. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&postcount=186 This effort is no longer being pursued. You have @ jaimani on xda and also xda (@MishaalRahman) works with Poco in providing free devices to developers so maybe they can ask Poco if this is even possible.Need qcn backup from Mi8. you will need to be rooted.How to create one?Can't read NV items for LTEIf anyone has ideas let us know.We have backups of modem and fsg from Mi Mix 2S.When I try to open fsg backup in a hexeditor I dont get anything useful. So need help with figuring that out.If anyone has any other ideas on how to unlock the bands (other than QPST) please post here.RT's are appreciatedWe need modem and efs partitions backup from Mi 8 and Mi Mix 2S.3G and LTE bands are not stored/referenced at 6828 and 6829 in NV browser. Thanks to @ Heronicola for checking. We need to find out where these bands are. so if anyone has an idea, feel free to comment in the thread.The Pocophone F1 LTE bands are listed as1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500)However, it is supposed to launched in Mexico and Colombia as well.Mexico LTE Bands - 2 & 4.Colombia LTE Bands - 4 & 7Band 2 and 4 will be very helpful for us US peeps.Not sure how Xiaomi locks the bands, do they use software? in which QPST should be able to unlock the bands.orThey lock them via hardware, in which case Poco F1 will have a different model from Mexico and Colombia (and other countries which use Band 2 and Band 4?If anyone with a bootloader unlocked and rooted Poco F1 is willing to try QPST and see if the bands can be enabled please post here.Thanks.
