Hey guys I was just wondering how to check if your rog 7 is fully ww as opposed to CN as I have purchased the global rom from Ali express. Especially in terms of the radio bands it will be accessing. I'm picking up 4g and 5g with Telstra network Australia but the speeds are very slow.
My build number shows WW_0820xxxx
Thankyou

I wonder anybody could help with this query/issue I am have?
I recently purchased a MT7-TL10 from the United Arab Emirates whilst on holiday and the phone came preloaded with the latest international ROM (V100R001C00B119SP03). As a result I thought I had an international version of the phone.
When I got back to the UK however I have noticed that a network scan revels that the phone can see both 3 and EE LTE networks (which run over bands 3 & 7) but not O2 and Vodafone (which runs over band 20). Which initially suggests the phone is band locked as UAE only runs bands 3 & 7, though their phones are usually fully compatible with European networks (such as the Samsung S5 my wife purchased).
I don't suppose anybody has had any luck unlocking the bands on this phone or the TL09? Also, there don't seem much logic to the flash the ROM with international version in my instance (which is suggested for the Chinese model) as I am already running it.
I have similar problem in Nigeria. My TL10 could not see band 20.

Don't wait for luck. MT7-TL10 does not support band 20. Check specs.
I bought the gold Mate 7 32gb from Huawei in Saudi Arabia.. and I confirm I don't get 4G on O2. I guess I'll have to change my carrier to either EE or Three. Any recommendation, which carrier would you recommend ? I live in London

I switched to Three as they where offering the best deal plus I had a mobile dongle with them and I knew the reception was always better than O2. The phone now picks up 4G just about everywhere I go.
nice!
there got to be a way to unlock all radio bands.. right? has anyone seen it done ?
I have the same problem with my Mate 7, I've emailed Huawei but they don't want to acknowledge that there is a fault. I suggest you guys also email Huawei!
Huawei Mate 7 TL10 does not support band 20 (800 mHz frequency) that O2 uses. it is not the matter of locking and unlocking, it is that the phone lacks the capability. Sadly enough, I own mate 7 TL10 and am using giffgaff that runs on O2 network.
Edit: This lack of capability is by design. You should check the specs before buying.
I have the Mate 7 TL10 and use in Austria on Three.Three use not the Band 20 at least not in Austria.
My Prepaid Card from Telekom Austria would need band 20,but in larger cities, it also works without
Have been searching the whole day, but is there any difference in supported LTE bands between the US and Europe model? I haven't found any differences... Seems there is only one unlocked model? (Differences aside from RAM).
Visiting New York in January, this looks like the ideal phone for my girlfriend… Hope to bring one home for her.
EU is HIA_AERO_UHL same as M9 ：）
The only international LTE bands that the unlocked US model supports are 3 and 7. Okay for occasional roaming in Europe but not enough in my opinion if you were going to use it there all the time.
That is because of soft or hardware? I bought US modell because of 3/32 GB, hoped there is no real difference....
working great for me in Germany
Hello all,
for me the unlocked 32GB version is working greate with LTE (tmobile network) in Germany.

Where did you bought it?
What kind of cable / power supply did you get delivered with? (german or not)
hey guys, i'm looking to buy one of this. I know there is international verison (64gb) and chinese version (32gb and 128gb). Which version support LTE network in canada? thanks
International support more bands so should be better.
I have the Chinese Mate 9 in Canada, and works fine on Wind / Freedom Mobile. Haven't tried the other carriers.
You could always look up the compatibility of the Mate 8 to Canada's networks from last year, I highly doubt they've taken away compatibility in the new version. Willmyphonework.net didn't have an entry for the Mate 9 in their database yet, last time I checked. :/

There are 2 Chinese variants (TL00, AL00) which won't support Canadian LTE bands. L09, L29 (dual sim) is ok. Check this out: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=device&s=compare&ids=10928.10923.10918.10917
I am having trouble with 5g on my ROG Phone 5 I have verified and reverified that I have 5g coverage with t mobile, that it's turned on in the phone, and that all the imei info on my phone is right. Get 4g but no 5g. I am rather new at this so if it's obvious I'm sorry but I didn't see this in any threads I searched for so I'm at a loss.

Are you in a 5g zone? Do any of your family or friends have 5g in that same area?
Even if all of that is a yes, the RoG Phone 5 only has two (out of 4) 5G bands on tmobile (n41 - 2500 and n71 - 600) so you would only be able to get 5G if the cell tower is using one of those bands in your area.
If the tower is using one of those bands and you still dont have 5G then I am at a loss. You can check tower info by using an app like "Network Cell Info Lite & WiFi" or something similar.
The 5G SA/NSA support for TMB and other US carriers are not good due to the lack of bands supported by phone itself (2 out of 4 for US variant, 1 out of 4 for EU and None for CN). had the same problem. No quick fix for it as you'll likely have to swap to a US version to be semi-fully compatible.
Sometimes you'll also need to enable SA in settings for it to have reception.
Another deep hole: even thought both regarded as WW, EU and US var actually have different supports and it's really hard to tell the diff

Yea ASUS is really weird with their versions and one of the hardest phones to figure out. Assuming OP has the US versions, he would have better luck with 5G on Verizon (5 out 7 bands). The global versions and even if you converted a CN version to WW will practically have no 5G.
I have the RoG Phone 5S Pro which has the same version issues as the regular Phone 5 and 5S. I have the US versions and use Verizon so I get pretty decent 5G service in the US.
I purchased an ROG Phone 5s that was suppose to be the US Variant but its the chinese variant. I cannot return it or anything anymore so I am stuck with it. Is there any way to change the firmware to the US version for 5g and WIFI? I am using it on ATNT and I only get 4g
Bands are based on the hardware. There is only a 1% chance that it has the bands and they are disabled.
This is the fundamental problem with Asus releasing 50 variants on the same phone in a world where not everyone is honest and / or informed. This is also why most eBay listings say something like "check your carrier for 5G support." Some don't know what they have and others don't want you to know.
