No, My tablet has been supported by the sav ASUS.

My tablet is back today
Asus change this piece

http://www.asusparts.eu/product_info.php?products_id=64633
I'm testing to see if everything works normally ...
I would ....

What OS is on 4.1.1 or 4.0.4
The signal problem was on 4.1.1, from what I have read it's not present in ics thus it's more of a radio problem, and if it solved in jb then you
A) Got a new radio
B) new bootloader(newer than 10.4.3.7)
So how is it doing?

Hi guys,
Same problem here:
Portugal
24/10/2012
4.1.1 JB
But the awkward is that the 3G already worked on JB, and stopped working after 3 times I used it.
Does the 3G worked anytime on your JB? or never worked on JB?
Best Regards.

Re
Unfortunately the same problem with 3G
Despite ASUS repair.
And here we go for a ride, to exchange mail with ASUS ...

But let me try to identify my problem, does anyone had the 3G working on JB before failure?
Best Regards

anything strange in dmesg? maybe there's some error in your logs that can help to fix the problem.
btw my tf300tg's 3g is working fine after upgrading to jb.
only a few problems when switching the sim card between my tablet a phone and back, sometimes I need to set my mobile operator manually as the tablet wont reconnect automatically anymore and fall back to roaming, probably because my operator works only on UMTS and dont have 2g coverage.

Hello,
Asus me return again in the Czech Republic for repair.
So .. SECOND Service for a tablet bought this Sept. 27, 2012 ...

Fixing is easy I have to change the bootloader but I don't want to unlock yet I wait for Asus to fix the error
Inside the bootloader is the radio files which determine the carrier and the channels you can use and this is the reason the USA carriers don't want your phone unlocked until today that is from 2013 only tablets will have lock bootloader, and for smartphone it's up to carrier

Hello
If I understood correctly, this is the default bootloader sets receiving 3G / 2G, and we would lose the connection?

No matter what you do to it, you can't change the fact that its 7510. You can flash anything or edit anything you want and it will still be 7510. Sorry bro, you bought a wifi only tab.

Any Help Regarding 3g Firmware ?
If you claim yours is 3G ver just flash the Overcome 10.1 Series v1.2.1 KI1 (P7500 version).
p7500 = 3G
p7510 = wifi only
What's on the box is pretty much irrelevant. If it has a SIM slot, it must be a 7500. If you flashed a 7510 ROM on it apparently that changed the model number and your Tab now thinks it’s a Wi-Fi version. You need to flash back to a 7500 ROM. The 7510 and 7500 ROM's aren't interchangeable. If that doesn't work, somebody sold you a Wi-Fi version that for some strange reason has a SIM slot. I take it you didn’t buy this new from an authorized Samsung dealer.

Overcome has a P7500 version, it uses build KI1. Install that and you will get 3G back.

What does it show when you plug in to Keis? If Keis still sees it as a 7500 you can do an emergency restore from there. If not, look in the dev section. I'm sure somebody's posted a 7500 ROM there. If it's a different CSC then you want/need, do a search. There's instructions on how to change the sales code.
Just a quick look in the Development section will find you a 7500 ROM dude...
And the moral of the story is read first, flash later.
Here u can Download several Firmware-Versions:
w w w.samfirmware. com
or u use my Link:

Differences between Hong Kong and UK models?

Any hardware differences between HK and UK versions of the 7.7?
I've got a Hong Kong version (16 gig, 3G enabled) and was wondering if there would be any pitfalls to flashing it with UK firmware when available.
TIA
I also have a Hong Kong 7.7 3g model and live in the UK and I flashed it with the Open Austria firmware because it covers the UK region and had no problems.
Here is the description taken from SamMobile:
GT-P6800 - Open Austria
PDA: P6800XXLQ1
CSC: P6800OXALQ1
Version: 4.0.4
Date: 2012-06-22

The Open Austria ROM comes with an installation of swype that does not include Chinese input, unlike the Hong Kong ROM. You also lose the DioPen Chinese input. But other than that, I can't see much else of a difference. (I have successfully flashed the Open Austria ROM on my HK device and gotten around the input options issue by other means.)
Thanks - sounds like I can go ahead and change to UK ROM then. I'm in the UK so not too worried about any loss of Chinese input options.
Theory, any cool way u found to input chinese?

Covered in my FAQ. Hint: install swype beta and download the required language packs. (I haven't tested if the old google Chinese IME works yet; but I like the latest version of swype beta.)

You wouldn't miss DioPen once you have tried Go Chinese input method. It's designed specifically for tablets, so that you can have a bigger (with more keys) keyboard layout when you installed the right plugin.
I list below those packages you needed to install for use in Hong Kong:
GO輸入法中國香港倉頡\速成\筆劃詞庫包
GO輸入法Pad插件
GO輸入法國際版 <=== install it first
GO輸入法國際版中文手寫插件 <==== only if you want handwriting, I use 倉頡 anyway.
The only downside is that you lost the Voice input key in the new keyboard layout, but that is something I wouldn't really use too frequently anyway.
Ty lots guys <3

When will the automatic Over The Air update be released? I have a Hong Kong 7.7 and living in the UK
Add me to the list of people who have the Hong Kong version but flashed the Austrian ICS update with no issues.
I have galaxy tab 7.7 hongkong version too,
I did upgrade to ics Austria version...
I can say , almost everything is fine ... only a few minor thing missing ...
1. like people said before chinese keyboard is missing
2. Ebook reader (stock form samsung) ... if I click this one ... i got message "service will be available soon" but I don't care ... many ebook reader can be downloaded.
3. Kies warning "Your Device does not support software Upgrading via Kies"
I am afraid because csc change from hongkong to austria ...
My question is : if ICS Hongkong version release , Can I re flash again with Hongkong version ???

Sure you can flash other releases. Provided that Samsung actually releases them...
I am in the same boat. HK tab 7.7 in the UK.
At the beginning I was thinking of changing CSC to UK or EU, but then I somehow realized that CSC only make a difference for KIES software, but not to anything else. Google market does not have a concept of CSC. Cyanogen ROMs do not have a concept of CSC. There are no restrictions or differences whatsoever apart from KIES.
I have tried KIES couple of times and that was enough. I will never touch it with a barge pole. I always hated iTunes, but KIES is a total joke! If I were Tim Cook, I would buy a Samsung tab and posted Youtube videos of my actual experiences with KIES. That would be enough to eliminate all but hardcore customers!
So why should I even be bothered to think of CSC? Hardware is exactly the same. I can install any UK or European Samsung ROM and it will work exactly the same on HK tab. When decent CM9/CM10 come out I would give it a try.
In other words I see no advantages of a UK Tab 7.7 vs HK Tab 7.7.
But I see one very important disadvantage and you know what it is.

How to select proper settings
Hello. After testing of this program I (and some of my acquaintances) have not doubt that basebandswitcher really changes frequencies. But I feel that this program is just additional unlocker of operator (or locations) at operating system level.
For example:
I and two my acquaintances live in Ukraine. Frequencies:
2G 900/1800
3G 2100
All devices has been flashed equally:
At first flashed sbf 4.5.1-134_DFP-10;
then flashed radio EPU93_U_00.61.00;
after getting root and installing last version official CM7.2, which used by default this baseband settings: central_europe_34x (it is equivalent Central Europe Hong Kong, Taiwan, Arabia, France, Nordic 3.4.x United Kingdom 4.5.1-85 900/2100MHz)
The first device (from central Europe) start to work correctly after choice Europe RT 3.4.2-145;
The second (from Poland, was locked under orange) began to work correctly after choice Poland Orange 3.4.2-131z
My device from the USA (was locked under t-mobile). It works only with US T-Mobile 3.4.2-107-4 or US T-Mobile 3.4.2-107-9.
So, 3 devices equally flashed and used at one country, but worked on a miscellaneous (depending on from where has been brought). After a choice of settings for the INITIAL OPERATOR OR LOCATION (instead of current basebands values of current region) devices began to behave equally.
Sorry for bad English

[Q] Buying S4 @ Samsung Store UK-Which FW is inside?

Hi Folks,
If i buy a S4 in a SAMSUNG Store in the UK (London) - will the Firmware/ROM will be completely unbranded?
which 3 letters denotes such Firmware? i.e 9505XX***? will i get OTA updates even if i'm not in London later on ?
Will such a Firmware have the option to add a Hebrew keyboard and input ?
is it part of the original OS or SAMSUNG remove it for the UK market?
thanks
Thanks

Well i'm looking for a Samsung official firmware that can be updated from Samsung like any other.
i dont want root or custom it. i just want something similar to what i get from an iOS experience. Official updates by samsung to device
as far as i get it the updates for S4 are controlled by the Operators, if i buy at the samsung store will i get updates which are not controlled by the operators. We know that operators do not release updates quickly and its annoying.
Here in .IL the i9505 is not the official phone - here its the i9500 and no lte. the i9505 is being sold here non official yet with a customized firmware that translated the TW to hebrew (YUCK) which is made by someone unknown - no idea how i can put a Samsung official (English firmware) that will get me updates, and will also support allow to install the built in hebrew input keyboard. no need for a hebrew gui.

Thanks a lot Odia !
I have two options - but an i9500 Octa core here with no LTE (LTE will be here in 1-2 years) or the i9505 in London.
What do you guys recommend? the i9505 as far as i see is not that bad and will support future LTE here while the i9500 will be hard to get rid off as everyone will want an LTE phone then...
Thanks guys !

best place to buy unadulterated S4 is amazon... make sure you buy from amazon not from third party sellers selling in amazon... I would get the LTE version if you want LTE.

Doesn't seem like it's updatable at this point in time.
Reached out to ZTE: No updates available. If there were to be it would be through bell/Virgin as it's specific build/firmware/model.
Reached out to Virgin, bell and PC mobile as well. If something interesting comes from it I will surely post.

Cool, thanks man.
Btw, is the Bell/Virgin model rootable? So we can put custom rom on it? Would it be the same roms other models would use?
I know tdm is working on one atm (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini/development/recovery-twrp-7-1-unofficial-t3685339)

I think it should be but I haven't tried yet as I am using this phone as my daily. Maybe if I grab another one.
I need help too with the canadian version. There is no option to activate the NFC...

I don't think this version has NFC. There is no mention of it anywhere.
https://www.ztedevices.ca/axon-cat/axon7mini.html
USA version does mention it.
https://www.zteusa.com/axon7mini/
I got the Axon 7 mini from PC Mobile as well. Looks like the Canadian mini is a variant P852A15H, without NFC.
Any idea how to get rid of the carrier name at the top right? SytemUI tuner doesn't seem to activate either.
The mini is really sleek and light! Haven't had the battery issues mentioned in reviews either. Wish we could update to N though.
For what it's worth, there may be some activity behind the scenes for a minor update to the Canadian Axon 7 Mini late this month.
If this individual is to be believed, it will be bug fixes and security patches ONLY. That is, it will NOT be an upgrade to Nougat; we'll still be stuck on Marshmallow. But at least we'd end up with a security patch newer than late-2016.

Did it upgrade to Nougat? What version of Android is it on after the B08 update.

Confirmed. 105.67 MB download, the device stays on Marshmallow. It brings the device from the November 1, 2016 security patch to February 5, 2018.
This is the first OTA ever released for the Canadian variant. It would include fixes for some pretty high-profile vulnerabilities, such as Blueborne, Krack, and Spectre, so it's definitely welcome.

Can you please execute the following adb command and post your product name here?
Code:
adb devices -l
List of devices attached
... device product:P852A11 model:ZTE_B2017G device:tulip transport_id:1
The adb devices -l command lists the following properties: ro.product.name, ro.product.model and ro.product.device
Hint: I downloaded the latest ADB tool from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html#download
I just finished a live chat with a ZTE rep. I give him all informations he asked and he told me that he's submitting that info to R&D and they will get back to me within 5 - 6 business days with a package update.
My build number is ZTE B2017G_BELLV1.0.0B08
I don't keep my hope very high on this, but hey you never know ...
I'll post what comes out of this ...

good luck with that
The Canada-specific version of the Axon 7 Mini was not sold on the open market, but rather was sold as a bundle through one of Bell Canada's affiliates. (I am aware of it being sold through Virgin Mobile and PC Mobile.) As such, it is running a customized OS that was approved by Bell Canada. The Bell Canada-specific OS has always been visually distinct from the version of the OS that shipped on open-market versions of the Axon 7 Mini; in my opinion it appears quite a bit more similar to the vanilla Android experience, with the exception of the preinstalled Bell account management apps.
Unfortunately, because the phone was bundled through Bell Canada, that means that ZTE will also be obliged to get Bell Canada's approval of any OS updates that may be offered for the phone. We've already seen, with the patch that was released earlier this year, that the OS update path being approved by Bell Canada is following a very different track from what ZTE has been offering on the open market, and I don't expect to see that change any time soon.
And it really doen't matter if ZTE's engineering department is technically capable of offering Nougat or newer for this device. They'd still have to get it cleared by Bell Canada first before they could distribute it.
