If you have T239 in hand just give me its firmware details: AP:xxxxxx CP:xxxxxx CSC:xxxxx
and I will make one for T239
Thanks androman-you or anyone know where I can purchase the M version? Buying anything from L. America is such a difficult task from N. America (at least that is my take on it)

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.

Thanks

I am visiting Taipei in October. It would be great if I could buy an HTC there that would work on ATT/Cingular network in the USA. If the units they sell in Taiwan are quad band, will it work in the USA?
Also looking for leads of good electronic stores in the city.
I went there in 2003 - it's a very interesting city - a kind of mix of western and Chinese cultures.
I don't know about the Hero in Taipei but do watch out for the mopeds! They're insane!!
There are HTC stores in Taipei.
They will work, just that the phone will be in Chinese.
You will also need to find ATT plan for data and settings for the phone.
I had a Tmobile sim card and Edge network worked on a P3600i.

In Taipei, when the traffic lights are red, the mopeds congregate. When the lights change it's like the start of the Moto GP!

It's like this at every intersection everytime the lights change!
I already have an unlimited 3g plan for my HTC x7501, so I will be able to hotswap the SIM card to see if the phone will work.
I'm thinking if I will go to China and can I just use my mobile phone and buy a local sim card for it? Will it work?
USA likes to go by its own way (as usual). That's why there are some different 3G frequencies than in Europe and Asia. So buying 3G phone in Europe or Asia make sure it can support USA 3G frequencies or u will end with bare GSM phone.
Find in internet which frequencies are used in USA' 3G. Write it down. When you will be in Taiwan, check phone specification and match your frequencies.
Not all 3G phones support all frequencies. For example Samsung Omnia II sold in Asia supports only Asian and European 3G frequencies. While Samsung Omnia II sold (well, will be sold) in America supports only American 3G frequencies.
Luv Taipei...great city & people! been there 5 times over the years
OP, find out when the Leo is going to be available while your shoping at the htc stores
Specifically, give me some addresses or neighborhoods to find this electronic stuff! I know of one HTC store in Taiwan, but thats it...Hopefully thats all I need!

Is your phone locked? If so, you need to unlock it before it can be used with a local sim card in China.
to buy a such smartphone is easy in Taibei,but I guess they will use Chinese and Japanese network instead,any other compatible?

I dont know where you stay at, but here is a map for taipei metro.
http://www.trtc.com.tw/img/all/bigNH.jpg
What you need to do is locate "Zhongxiao Xinsheng" station, and ask hotel people how to get there via metro.
Once you are at "Zhongxiao Xinsheng" station get out at exit 4, you come out of the stair way the street in front of you is "Sinsheng South Road". You make a right at the #4 exit, keep walking for about 3 minutes, you will see "Bade Road", you turn left there. Take a right on the first traffic light(small street dont know the name). Dont take my word for it, but I do remember there is a HTC store there. If not, I am sure you will find a store around that area sells HTC phone, plus all your pc, electronic, audio, video needs.
There is a six story building called Guang Hua plaza, take some time and go check it out.
Here is google map link with exit4 on point A and that little street next to Guang Hua plaza on point B.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sou....043698,121.533347&spn=0.004379,0.008256&z=18
Thanks, for the record, if you go to the HTC Taiwan site, they have a list of stores as well but most appear to be kiosks...
Cheaper?
Hi, may i know if i buy from Taiwan, the phone will be cheaper or almost the same price in your own local store. Buying from Taiwan would lose warranty. I am thinking of purchasing one at there, but am an inexperienced person who does not know the price.
Finally announced that the p8 max is coming to France and Spain 6 months later, are these different models with more lte bands.... Fingers crossed that they are international versions with lte bands 2 and 4 ?????

Google p8 max comes up several sites under news category
Don't find anything if i do so! Link vor it doesn't happen!

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.

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.
Does someone know a dongle that allow to use 3G/4G on my tablet ? With some apps, I would like to transform it into a "phone" so I could call and use it everywhere (like the LTE variant). For the moment I'm not root since I don't want to trip Knox. Does any know one ? Big thanks in advance !
How can you do that with a custom rom in the first place?

I would get the LTE variant and sell your old one on ebay or something. Even if u do get a dongle, u will have something 2 inches sticking out of a heavy tablet, u will end up breaking the port.
I actually use google voice and hangouts dialer to convert my tablet into a phone and it works really well. I have LTE variant.

So, I'm in the US. I use Straight Talk which uses ATT bands. I do want to get an S7 that will work with my provider. I understand that it would have to either be the ATT model, or the International version.
Where exactly can you buy the international version? Also, will it include the free Gear VR? Also, are there any downsides to getting the international version? Is it still possible to get support in the US for the international model?

You could probably buy it off from Amazon/Ebay or some other site. I'm not sure how often International versions get updated so that could be a downside. As of right now the only way to get the bonus Gear VR is preordering with a carrier, meaning no, you will miss out on the bonus if you want an international unlocked version.

why would you want an European version with an exynos proc instead of SD820 ??

Because one must choose the lesser of two evils... Exynos or... bloated with apps, and carrier boot logo, and having to find someone that can buy the phone and have their carrier unlock it. I called T-Mobile and they told me the phone must be with them (attached to someone's plan) for 7 days for them to unlock it.
I don't have any friends with T-Mobile and I live in South America, so I haven't got many options...
Hi. I just want to be clear... none of the Snapdragon variants have LTE band 28? No even t-mobile? I live in Panama and we have LTE on that band...

I don't, I would prefer SD820 but I was listing it for some guy who was asking about it.
Samsung stores in canada sell "unlocked" phones, it gets locked to the first sim card but an unlock code is provided.
clove.co.uk is taking pre-orders for an International unlocked SD820 version. Wonder if it's a typo?

clove or handtec will ship to US and the prices are pretty decent. Cheaper than buying full price here in US. Make sure you read everything clove has to say about it though. There is a warning about Samsung locking their phones.
Simply use Amazon.de. They have a fully translated webpage (here is the link) and also the awesome customer service known from Amazon in English.
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.
