Help LTE 4G bands Note 3

ascanio1

Newbie
Which model's hardware is compatible with the following bands (FDD mode) for LTE (4G)?
Band 1 (2100GHz)
Band 3 (1800GHz)
Band 8 (900GHz)
Band 11 (1500GHz)
Band 20 (800GHz)
I'm using my phone with an Italian Vodafone SIM and a Japanese Softbank SIM.
I don't care if the model that covers all these bands is sold by a particular carrier/locked/etc.
Thank God it's an Android: I will root it and format everything before using it anyway.
 
LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - N9005
LTE 700 / 1900 / 2100 - N900W8

So I guess the answer is none of them. They're missing 1500. So far, it looks like the S4 and S4 Mini are the only phones capable of FDD (and TDD).
 
Update:
I found out that
- MPN names refer to regional settings.
- Each MPN can only have a maximum of 6 radios setup on that particular MPN firmware.
- The N9005 CPU is LTE and is compatible with many bands, including those which I need (1, 3, 8 and 20).

So, now, my new 2 questions are:

1) which Samsung N9005 MPN has a radio setup that caters for bands 1, 3, 8 and 20?

2) where can I download that particular MPN for my N9005?
