I have a White Lumia 1020 RM-875 with Middle East ROM but I live in South Africa and I want the Nokia Black update. Luckily in South Africa it is also RM-875 but the country variant firmware options are only available for Black or Yellow devices. Will I do any form of damage to my device if I were to say load the firmware for the black version on my white device?

There is no problem, it is only for the color settings, nothing serious.
You will flash this 059T8V6 RM-875 VAR MEA ZA CV BLACK?

I was completely engrossed in trying to figure out the differences with the variants that are out on the market. I think I've finally figured it out (with the help of Phonedb.net).
http://phonedb.net/index.php
L04C - Canada
L09C - Global Single SIM
L29C - Global Dual SIM
AL00 - China Telecom / China Unicom
AL01 - China Mobile
TL01 - Hong Kong
L01J - Japan
The biggest differences I've found is that the AL00 & AL01 versions have full support for the LTE bands on both SIMs, the L29C seems to be the most flexible as it covers the most LTE bands for the most countries, and the TL01 version focuses mostly on Hong Kong and southeast Asia. AL00, AL01, and TL01 also appear to be compatible with CDMA bands that the other variants are not compatible with.
Huawei's customer service, albeit very friendly and willing to help, did not provide accurate information about the variants. They didn't have any of the FCC reports/certifications available so the consumer could see what each device was certified for. I personally needed a phone that would work with mobile providers in South America, China, and the US. Luckily the L29C variant covers a majority of providers in all three areas of the world. Hopefully this is helpful to someone!
Just so there is no confusion, here is a re-listing of the Huawei regional firmware codes that are independent of the variants/sub-models of the the P20 Pro:

I don't know for sure but I'd assume C432
No hint of C652 and what is its standing in updates?
Hello, I have 605 on it . having like with the P10 serious issues with voice quality , no US SIM card supports WIFI Calling (germans does)
And other weired things with ATT SIM (tethering) . Anyone aware if another Version would be better ?
Thanks
Any one knows if its possible to use the Moto Z4 US unlocked in other areas like europe, asia, middle east, ...?
It depends if your carrier supports the bands the phone has. It should work just like importing a phone into the US, just in reverse

Can't seem to find this model anywhere on any search engines, so I assume it's in other languages. I've searched to no avail.
Aura Blue is not available in the 5G or 512 GB variants in the United States.

I'm not in the United States.
SM-N976N which is South Korea.
And the Aura Blue colour is/was an SKT exclusive color.
I don't know if a solution has been found, but from a few threads posted to XDA, no one can get 5G working without a Korean SIM card.
Just curious where everyone's N20U was manufactured. In the past, some people had phones made in Vietnam, Korea, and China. I wasn't for sure if that had changed. It was handy to track hardware defects sometimes, if they were more prevalent in handsets manufactured in a certain country.
Stare which model you received, where you purchased it, your country, and where it was manufactured. I'll start:
Model SM-N986U1 - US Factory Unlocked
Purchased directly from Samsung.com
Country - USA
Manufactured in Vietnam
Model SM-N986B/DS - UK Factory Unlocked
Purchased directly from Samsung.com
Country - UK
Manufactured in Vietnam
SM-N986W Canadian factory unlocked
Samsung Canada direct
country: Canada
made in Vietnam
SM-N986U T-mobile carrier locked
Country : US
Made in Vietnam
SM N986U - ATT CARRIER LOCKED (for now..)
Country - USA (purchased from Samsung)
Made in Korea
SM-N986U ATT-LOCKED
COUNTRY: USA
MADE:KOREA

Are we going off of what's on the back of the phone versus an app like "Samsung info"?
Back of phone says Vietnam. App says Korea.
SM-N986N (unlocked)
Korea

I was going off the back of the phone. Odd your app says something different.
Actually my app says Korea as well. So I say we stick with what's on the back of the phone or in the box. My phone and box both say Vietnam.
Bought Samsung UK direct

What does the back of your phone say? Not the phone info app
SM-N986B
Australia.
Back of the phone only shows "SAMSUNG" & IMEI number, no country of manufacture.
Thus, the box says Vietnam, but the Samsung Info app says STH Korea.
Exynos 986b/DS made in Vietnam
SM-N986B/DS
Globe-PH
So almost everyone's is made in Vietnam. Odd that we have two ATT models made in Korea. Not sure why only ATT models are made in Korea, unless those posters were going off the Phone Info App, which seems to say Korea no matter what.
Exynos.
"All" India.
Hi,
im thinking of buying the 12gb/256gb version of the 8t for EU/Germany, but in silver (dont like that green at all).
So there is no 12gb version for germany in silver.
the chinese version can be convertert to a global/eu with flashing the proper rom, but does it also open the 4G bands for EU (especially band 28, with would be more used in germany), or does the eu and chinese variants NOT have the same hardware (the modem)?
i dont find a sliver+12gb variant anywhere to buy outside of germany but in the eu...
thanks in advance for some hints.
