Intentional Limitation of Wifi & LTE Bands

Greetings XDA,

After some research, I've determined it to be a distinct possibility that the OnePlus X (possibly others) have built in software limitations.

In a recent tear down of the device (http://ift.tt/1P0R8Ws) it was found that the device contains these two components:

Qualcomm WCN3680 RF chip
Qualcomm WTR1625L RF chip


Here are my findings of each of these parts.

Qualcomm WCN3680 RF chip

"the WCN3680 is a mobile 1x1 802.11ac combo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/FM chip"

This article from Qualcomm states the the chip present in the OnePlus X supports wireless AC.

Qualcomm WTR1625L RF chip

"The WTR1625L can accommodate all cellular modes and 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE frequency bands and band combinations that are either deployed or in commercial planning globally."

This article from Qualcomm states that the chip present in the OnePlus X is capable of supporting ALL LTE frequencies in use, or in the planning stages of development, as of Febuary 21, 2013. Where are Bands 12 & 17?

Am I correct in my findings? Will we be able to enable these bands with this method (http://ift.tt/1P0R8Wy)?
