Yes, all Canadians agree!

Yes, tested, it works! And yes again, you will lose 850MHz.

Yes, 100%

Yes, tested by us. Flashing the TE365 with KS360 firmware works but remember to fix IMEI as it gets corrupted when flashed. Keep in mind you need KE500 cable NOT KG800. After, direct unlock the phone. You will however lose your 850MHz and this was tested also by us with our Rohde & Schwarz CMU200. There seems to be a quad band chip on board and is controlled by the firmware. Our guess is we can flash KS360 with TE365 and it will disable 900MHz but add 850MHz. Will test later.
