Question can rogers g1 change the UMTS dual-band (850/1900 MHZ) to band (2100 MHZ) ?

can rogers g1 change the UMTS dual-band (850/1900 MHZ) to band (2100 MHZ) ?
my phone is rogers g1。
But our 3g band is 2100 MHZ.
I found a hidden setting can change the gsm/UMTS band。
when u dial *#*#4636#*#* >choose 1 >menu> radio band
there is Europe band/USA band/japan band /Australia band
I try all band but it does‘t work。
I can't use 3g。
Is anyone can help?

A software setting can NOT change the physical hardware on the device.

Sure. Get out your soldering iron.
If I need to give you more details than this, then you aren't qualified -- sorry.

The easiest thing for you would be to find someone to trade phones with. You should probably focus on people using tmobile branded devices on ATT in the US. Your phone is compatible with ATT's 3G band, the tmobile branded device is what you're looking for and is NOT compatible with ATT's 3G band -- EDGE only there.

Trust me when I say this:
If you need more details, then you REALLY DON'T want to be doing it!
