Hello , I need firmware DAV-701L V100R001C100B002CUSTC100D001_Client Software_Nonspecific(West European)_operatorValue_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_05013EPU (cf TKB).
Huawei said its secret, only in service.
Trimis de pe al meu HUAWEI P8max folosind Tapatalk

Did u get it? What's the model number and band support?

Same here. Looking for Software DAV-701L...B002 of the international Version.Will only root when i find this Software. Who can help?

OMG! The one from Amazon.es is the real internatonal version! Its was sealed and is the color is titanium grey (much beter than my chinese gold one). Its so different than the chinese one. It has a EU plug HW-050200E01, Google apps are already on it, so you don't need to install it in the huawei store, all the chinese apps are gone, quick start guide is in many EU languages. And thebiggest change is it supports band 20 4G! Also the gift is a dot case in black and not the ugly chinese brown one
Strange is that on the box there is a stamp with a Netherlands adres from huawei, but the is no store here that sells the internatonal version.

Well 4G works here and not with the chinese one. Vodafone use band 20 800mhz here.How can i check the band support?
Picture:

Wow the gray is awesome hope it supports band 2 or 4 for T-Mobile. Anyone know? Still can't find gray one and amazon spain won't ship to US

Is there a way to check the band support? There is notting on the box or quick quide. They are talking about a custom version (picture 3).

I dunno hope it works for US T-Mobile can't find specs on it or where to order this model from?

Product8 MAX DAV-701L
Purchase Date:2015-10-08
Content:Hello ! Last week I bought a phone HUAWEI P8 Max DAV-701L. I replaced the original firmware with version for China b23. I want to get back to the original version for Europe but we found nothing on the Internet. Please help ! My phone was bought in Romania although the packaging is the origin of Huawei Technologies Netherlands BV, Karspeldreef 4 CJ Amsterdam. So the original version of firmware is for the Netherlands and Western Europe. Telephone data are: ...........xxxxx I need my original firmware DAV-701LV00R001C100B002 The phone is unlocked bootloader! I got a code for it! With more consideration.
===========================================================================================================
Thank you for contacting HUAWEI Consumer Care. That's strange because we don't sell the P8 Max in any Western European country, therefore there's no software available for this device on the internet.
Why did you replace the firmware with the Chinese firmware?
============================================================================================================
As I said in my earlier e-mail, we do not have any software available for the P8 Max for Western European countries due to the fact that this model has not been released for Western Europe.
I can't help you with this unfortunately. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Toptonguebarry, recall you were looking into lte bands for the t235… does flashing t239m firmware on a t239 enable the lte bands for that device? Or is the cross flashing just not possible? Thanks

Not possible from my experience with tab 4 7.0's.
modem hw won't work on any bands other then what the device left the factory with.
If you want a tab 4 SM-T239M (the only one with LTE bands supported in the USA and Canada) You will need to buy one from either Mexico or Chile (black or white locked to one of the carriers, Ciaro in Chile, I think Telcel in Mexico), or an Unlocked white SM-T 239M (no black) from Ecuador . Only place I still can find them readily available is on Mercado Libre Ecuador.
For Mercado Libre Ecuador, You need to choose your merchant wisely, no paypal. Either be bi-lingual or use Google translate for correspondence because most of the vendors don't speak or understand much more than a speck of English. Even then, I've had one instance when I specified something like the correct shipping address in email. but the 2nd hand translation to DHL Ecuador by the vendor was really mixed up. The package was on its way to a dhl dist center in Philidelphia because the wrong postal code, among other things in the ship to address had been entered by the DHL associate who accepted the pkg from the vendor..
Many of the vendors will sell and ship using dhl to usa but often only if you offer them an extra $50 or $100 bucks on top of their posted asking price on Mercado Libre Ecuador. Plus you'll be wise to micro manage the whole process of purchasing and getting the device shipped to the right destination.
I gotta say I do love my tab 4 running on ATT LTE bands here i the USA. I wish the carriers would offer 7" Tabs with traditional phones built in (not referring to VOIP) for sale This device although a tad bit slow does everything I need it to do.

Huawei Mate 9 for the UK?

As a longtime Galaxy Note user I've been looking for an alternative, (minus the pen) after the sad Note 7 dilemma.
There is a gap in the UK waiting to be filled - the LG V20 disappointingly hasn't made it here. I really hope the Huawei Mate 9 will be available in the UK, but can't find any information regarding release?
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Just seen that Three have a page up about it, so hopefully the rest of the providers will be trying to get it soon.
https://3g.co.uk/news/huawei-mate-9-three
"First wave" will be for this markets - China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan. Kuwait, Malaysia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand and the UAE. In UK should be available later this year.
Great!

I'm wondering if this is a big enough upgrade up from my Huawei P9...
I love the look of my P9 from the rear, the Mate 9 not so much... It's the camera I'm really interested in though!!!
And also, I used to use a Nexus 6, went down to my P9 and the idea of going back up in screen size is worrying me as I've actually come to like the 5.2" form factor.
My only concern is lower pixel density.. Also I'd like to know if it affects daydream vr.

can i know the source of this information, yes i think i can agree with you, but knowing the source will help knowing the availability date.
"The Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Porsche Design will be available (at first) in China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand and United Arab Emirates."
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/11/huawei-mate-9-costs-e699-mate-9-porsche-design-e1395.html
From Huawei online mall(vmall.com), I saw Mate 9 still un-available. When it available in US?
I work for Three and I am using one. I also had the Note 7 before the debacle. Can't really notice any difference in screen quality unless you are a big VR user. The speed and battery life are unmatched. Also enjoying camera so far. Monochrome pretty awesome

Are there red global versions of OnePlus 7 that exist??

I'm from Canada and I want to buy the OP7 from a third-party seller because they don't sell the regular 7 here, but they're claiming they sell the red international version they buy from OnePlus Hong Kong, but the OnePlus HK website doesn't sell the red version. They also claim that OnePlus puts the North American adapter in there when they buy it from them when I asked how it comes with the N.A adapter without opening up the box, because they told me it come with the original OnePlus seal, never opened.
They told me that the international version has many variants (for colours), and they said that the model number was GM1910.
So I know there's no way you guys know for sure, but if you have experience with this stuff, is it possible that they really have a red international version from Hong Kong, even if only China and India sell the reds?
And also can my third-party seller really request that OnePlus Hong Kong put the N.A charger in when they buy it?
Or are they b.s.ing me and giving me the red china version and just bought a N.A adapter separately and put it in the box after flashing Oxygen OS on it... which I don't want...
Only china/ india version has red color. There is no internal version available in red.

So is it guaranteed that the seller I'm talking to is lying when he is selling the international version in red? The GM1910?
Unless India gave some to Hong Kong where they bought it from lol?
Or is it possible someone can request it be made or something? I didn't know there was a OP7 Blue until I saw it on the indian page fwiw

I'm from Sri Lanka(Asian Country) and I bought a OnePlus 7 Red 256GB variant and it's model number is GM1900. It came with Global rom installed(Oxygen OS) and with an NA adapter out of the box as well. Its true that there is no international Red version, but as all the hardware is same, it's just a difference between OS version. (Chinese, Gloabl and EU). So I think the phone you are looking to buy is legit.
I'm from Spain, I bought OP7 8/256 Red model GM1900 from china, the package was content an EU adapter out of the OP7 box. The ROM was Oxygen OS 9.5.6.GM57AA and I changed it to 9.5.8.GM57BA without problems. You will not have problems with any model.

AA is for India/global and BA for Europe.
I'm here in Canada , I ordered regular oneplus 7 from Ali express from a seller named fantasy. They have red color available in global and Chinese phones. I got a grey 8gb/256gb Chinese version that came with global ROM as that was the cheapest one! Been using it for few weeks and everything is amazing! I upgraded from op6t and this is definitely better. Dual stereo speakers ?, and finally the indisplay fingerprint feels like perfect.
I just bought a RED 7 off of amazon and it IS international. I'm in the states on AT&T and when I popped my sim in it works great. Also everything is in english. It's the GM1900.

GM1900 is definitely china model.
GM1903 is the Global version
Yeah I know it's the Chinese model but I was just saying I was able to get it and it works 100%
Just received my chinese one, must have been sealed the exporter since it had global rom and correct firmware on it for the usa.

OPPO Find X2 Pro NOT support 5G

Hello
I bought Find X2 Pro 5G version from OPPO Malaysia, and ship it to Saudi Arabia. I tried to use 5G network but the device still on 4G.
I tried to check the differences between my device box and comparing it to other boxes from youtube videos, Guess what ? It's different !!
There is no 5G Logo, also there is no 5G Bands in the back of the box.

I contacted with OPPO Global and OPPO Malaysia asking them about my device .. is it support 5G or not ?
Responses
1- OPPO Global : "5G network can only be enjoyed if available in your region. Kindly contact your Mobile Operator (MO) to confirm if 5G is available."
2- OPPO Malaysia: "Hi, Regarding to your question, due to Malaysia is not support 5G yet, the system is not update now, they will be update after Malaysia is available for 5G"
3- OPPO Global : "Regarding your concern, please be advised that it is our OPPO Malaysia team who could assist you with your concern and since you already contacted them and was advised that you need to wait for the 5G to be activated in Malaysia first, please stay tuned on their website for further updates.
Kindly be reminded that the phone was designed to be used in Malaysia thus it supports the current networks that are available there."
So I think I have to wait for couple of months until 5G activation in Malaysia . :cyclops:
I'm in the exact same boat bro. I ordered mine from Thailand though, same box and everything. We just have to wait for the updates, all the Pros have 5G that's a fact, I think, lol. They told me wait until June 10th for the update in Thailand. If you find anything else out please update and I will too.

At least they gave you a specific date
OPPO Malaysia said I have to wait for 3rd quarter of 2020 .
So I'll have to wait 2-4 months :crying:
I don't see why it wasn't 5G out the box, doesn't make sense...

Different versions of Xperia 5ii

I found there are 3 different versions of Xperia 5ii.
XQ-AS52, XQ-AS62, XQ-AS72
Anyone know the differences on these three models?
It seems based on product codes and xpericheck:
XQ-AS52 - EUROPE - 128Gb, 5G
XQ-AS62 - US - 128Gb, no 5G
XQ-AS72 - China/HK/Tw, 256Gb, 5G
My device is from europe and I'm on 1 aug security update.
So, no difference in the hardware and radios from what I read. I got the XQ-AS72 and I'm on Verizon. Initially, the IMEI said that it wouldn't work on Verizon. But if you get with the right tech rep on chat, tell them that you need to set up a CDMA-less phone. I did it today and got the phone working on Verizon! Only using LTE, but Verizon is killing off 3g (read: CDMA) at the end of the year, so can't imagine that will be an issue. Off to the races with a cheaper phone with double the internal storage than what I could order in the US....
Update: Phone works on Verizon. Did an online chat with tech support, and told them that I needed to be able to activate a phone as CDMA-less. I got hooked with a dude who had been with them for 7 years or so and he's all "I know exactly what you want to do and how to do it." Half hour later, I'm on the network and swinging large!

Install the official tool from Sony, Xperia Companion, and run a repair. I had the same issue. Now I am on 58.0.A.22.21 with October patches. You can easily use this tool, it is the official tool from Sony, so you are not illegaly flashing or unlocking it.
Does the XQ-AS72 variant work in Canada and the USA? Why cant I find detailed specs on the sony site for bands and such. Its such a pain.

Are you getting VoLTE on T-mobile out of the box, or did you need to flash the US firmware? Thinking of ordering the same version (for double the storage and the blue color) but from what I've seen so far seems like I need to flash the US firmware in order to get VoLTE to work on T-mobile.
Hi all! Guys, I am trying to bring all known info into one list, so IF YOU KNOW YOUR DEVICE\FIRMWARE REGION, could you please share model, memory capacity, 1sim or 2 sim, region and color followed by screenshot of Software Info page?
Just enter Service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* , then go to Software Info
It will help me a lot.
Here is an example of what and how I would see it.
XQ-AS52 8\128Gb Dual Sim EU (Customized EEA) Blue

How do I check which one I have? Using the CID I guess but how do I find it

Huh! That's the main point and problem. For now I\We don't know any working way to check xperia 5 II CID. If we could it would solve a problem with device region identification. But for now we can only rely on what Software info says and to try to understand what SOFTWARE VERIONS like GLOBALEEA-A2, GLOBAL-C2, etc. and PRODUCT CODES means. At leats that's what I am trying to do.
@Cptnfruitloops - You have HK or TW. I can't tell which one directly - or at least from shared info.
@LOCKDOC_UA - Did you try to explore firmwares? I guess it can help you with your effort.
Very interesting for identification is also "LTA version" (Yeh I dumped it from FWs). At least for XQ-AS72, where it can be used for distinguish CN from SEA and from TW/HK (they share same elabel). It won't help to distinguish XQ-AS52 versions though, since they share same elabel.
Anyway, those labels are quite interesting in few ways.
For example TW/HK version contains information about charging voltages/currents:
And for example Japanese versions (SO-52A) contains FM radio (If you check its FCC ID: PY7-08372L https://fccid.io/PY7-08372L - compare with European version FCC ID: PY7-310Z https://fccid.io/PY7-30637Z which doesn't have it.

You're right. Just now I discovered such info inside firmwares downloaded from xperifirm. Thanks

XQ-AS62 - US - 128Gb, no 5G

Who can explain why US version has no 5G support? This model has different hardware? I thought 5G modem is a part of Snapdragon 865.
Does anyone know what ROW_Commercial means?
@LOCKDOC_UA
Its simple - they decided to turn it off since it (modem HW) doesn't support 5G bands used in US (It support only bands 1, 3, 8, 28, 77, 78 - none of those will work in US).
Because of that you can't market it as 5G phone in US - Support would be overwhelmed with questions from customers - I bought this 5G phone and it doesn't work with my operator? Which operator should I use to get 5G? We are sorry - none will work. So to avoid it they simply decided to turn it off.
Also forget 5G roaming - It doesn't work anywhere yet - so even keeping surprise overseas 5G doesn't make any sense.
@Cptnfruitloops - I guess its current used modem configuration, but may be I am wrong.
