Huawei MediaPad X2 - frequency/band/antenna mods?

As many of you are well aware... regardless of its 4G capability, the 4G frequencies/bands of the Huawei MediaPad (Honor) X2 are not the same as U.S. carriers... so the 4G is pretty much useless here.

I've heard of antenna mods, frequency/band mods, and frequency/band unlocks on some other phones (particularly the HTC One M9), and would like to know if there are any similar solutions for the MediaPad X2.

I understand the HTC One M9 has this capability due to the total spectrum hardware, for which the various carrier specific models simply have their respective frequencies selected and others deactivated. I'm not sure if the MediaPad X2 may have the same loopholes/capabilities, but seriously need a resolution.

My ultimate goal would be to have full carrier spectrum for either U.S. Cellular or Verizon's network (prefer Verizon).

I know this sounds like a lot of work, but I have been running a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 (version R960 for U.S. Cellular). I love my large screen and single device solution for calls and browsing... but I need a replacement. The X2 seems to be the only phone with a larger screen, but my job (driver) requires full carrier spectrum capability to maintain communication.

I'm hoping someone with greater capabilities than my own can help me solve the freq/band issue, or point me in the direction of a 6.3" or larger phone with full Verizon network spectrum coverage and modern (better than my Mega 6.3) hardware.

I know this is a tall order, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I have no issue with paying through the nose for a mod/hack phone... so if you know a modder/hacker to construct a device with Verizon compatible Samsung hardware and the MediaPad X2 screen, I'm open to price quotes. I don't care if the frame is made of wood, weighs 20lbs, and barely fits in a tablet format... I just need a tablet with call capability, full spectrum coverage on Verizon's network, and a screen as big (or bigger) than my Mega 6.3 with 1080p or better resolution.
