2 part question:
First part:
Can I buy a MHA-L29 (International / USA Version) of the Mate 9 with 6GB of RAM off of this webstore: http://www.to2c.com/original-huawei...hd-android-7-0-fingerprint-id-smartphone.html
I ask because I've read in a few places that this will be available but I've only seen it available on this one outlet, and I'd like to verify that it's legitimate. Does anyone know this to2c.com?
Second part:
If I get this phone will this root method work on the phone: http://www.stechguide.com/install-twrp-recovery-and-root-huawei-mate-9/
Thanks! Sorry if this a repeat I couldn't find any similar threads.
1. To2c sells chinese AL00 6/128 model with ability to install international ROM (from L29 for example).
I never read and never seen that Huawei did expansion and started to sell 6/128 international model of Mate 9 (not Pro). All news were wrong.
2. Yes. You can get root via that guide. It points to xda topic
Just one note: unlocking bootloader on chinese model will be more difficult.

Hello, I'm sure there are threads out there that answer the title, but some aren't, I guess trustworthy or for other models.
Does anyone know a international ROM for the Chinese variant? Mines 4gb/64gb AL10 one.
Or any other ROM?
Thank you
if you dont have time to search and read, we dont have time to answer questions

Hi all.
Just about to buy this handset but prefer to have the 6GB/128GB model.
Therefore I would have to buy it from China. I heard Huawei have allowed gapps again so what is the difference between the Chinese version and international?
Will every app work OK on the Chinese version?
Which should I get?
Thanks for your help.
Of course all apps run well ,you can search "GMS" in huawei app store and you can get Google framework support without root your device.

Version MATE 9 MHA-AL00 6\128 GB supports many languages. Firmware is changing rapidly and more . Last firmware B135-B137 Gapps are installed via the app "GMS installer" http://appstore.huawei.com/app/C10736615 All apps are working.
Thanks guys.
Just ordered from Liaow - looking forward to receiving it!
I got the Chinese version (4/64) by seller "mistake" however I was able to set up Gapps through GMS and everything works fine in the USA on Tmobile network.

Yes, you can rebrand your Chinese AL00C00 to the L29C636 international version. Just follow this guide from gm007, a senior member on this forum.

Hello everyone,
as per the title, can i buy the mi mix 2s in china from a local seller and then switch it to a Global Rom?
Will i encounter bands problem for example? i live in EU
Thank youu
Yes, you can just install the global rom, I'm living in germany and also got the chinese version. You may check what LTE bands are used in your country since the chinese version does not have all the bands the global version has. However, the extra bands the global version has are mostly used in africa and america so chances are good that you'll be fine
Are you entirely sure that the two versions come with different bands? I can't find any confirmation anywhere

Yes they do come with different bands. I do not recommend you buying the chinese variant!
Look for the model that ends with XA ! this is the Global one with all bands.
Trust us. There is a reason for different models to exist.
The Chinese model can install global ROM but you cannot lock bootloader afterwards so it is not safe and many apps will not work.
Global model has more bands than base Chinese models but same as 8/256 Chinese model.
You can, but it would be "better" to buy it and install a rooted ROM from here if you want full features like Android Pay to function.
You can't relock the bootloader if you change from the chinese ROM.
Yes you could, but that may be not suggested depending on the model you want to get...
For 6+64 / 6+128 models, China variant (XE model) differs from global variant (XA model): XE has less band support and you need to keep your BL unlocked to install global ROM. So you'd better not buy these two models in China.
Still, I can show you the missing bands on XE model if you'd like to know, but anyway I don't think it necessary to buy it...
For 8+256 model, there's no two variants, only one XA model for both China and other countries. You should be safe to buy it.
And, if you get XE variant and flash global ROM with BL unlocked, you still cannot install Magisk - you'll see bootloop and then enter recovery. That's another important reason why I don't recommend XE variant. The only way to install Magisk is to install MiPa kernel instead of the stock one.
On eBay someone is selling Oneplus 7 Pro GM1910 (china version) but they state that it is T-Mobile unlocked.
Does this mean it is just a chinese model with international-ROM installed?
Will this work on USA GSM mobile carriers?
Will I have any trouble with bootloader unlocking/custom recovery/custom ROMS which I would not have?
Is there any downside of this GM1910 (china version) over the normal Oneplus 7 Pro?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd steer clear of it.
If it's a T-Mobile phone, there's a good chance that it's blacklisted due to an outstanding balance on the phone.
Another red flag :
Why doesn't the seller just sell the phone in the same condition (with the original firmware), regardless of which model it is?
If anything, they could offer to flash whatever firmware you'd like.
Guessing the price is too good to be true, but, if you're willing to take your chances, good luck.
Why not give Swappa a shot? You can ask the sellers directly any questions you'd like & I bet if you made a fair & reasonable offer, you'd get a better experience that whatever that deal is you presented here.

T-Mobile version is a 1915, the US unlocked version is a 1917.
Stay clear of anything that is not a US version if you are in the US.
While it may work, you will not be able to resell the device to a Verizon user because a 1910 will not work on Verizon.
My G1913(UK) works great in the US, full LTE speeds and VOLTE.
