I've got a nxt al10 mate 8 coming (first android) what are the benefits of flashing it. Also what's the choice version to flash it to comsindering mine is 64gb in Australia (3G,4g and lte networks) and I'll be using the dual sim function.
Cheers
As far as i know al10 has chinese firmware without google services and play store. So that's why you need to flash it to international firmware l29.
well, either that or u can install the google services manually good thing about chinese firmware is it gets frequent updates whereas L29 users are somewhat left behind...

What about English for some of the Huawei proprietary voice control stuff?? Is all in Chinese on the AL10....is it good enough and in English on L29 to possibly be handy??
If flashing a different version ,lets say l29 to al10, will unlock some of the lte bands?
unlock LTE bands? theres just one band difference betweem the two they both have the same number of bands, just that one differs...

Hello,
first, sorry for my terrible english.
is there somebody from Germany that use the mate 8 in Germany with a Provider which can use VoLTE?
I have O2. try it with the latest 356 firmware and it is not possible. it goes to 3g or 2g when i start a call? Why? i played with different firmware and also change location to l29-c432. when i flashed the b320 firmware there was no VoLTE in the menu. and without changing location, only flashed the 432b320 over TWRP i have the VoLTE point in the menu and if it is on, i can't phone over LTE. I didn't have other phone with VoLTE to show if my sim is VoLTE on. Customer service said it's on. or do the German Prividers only allow VoLTE with thair own Branding?
In C432 are volte. It calls ,, Kanalbündellung,,

Kanalbündelung is carrier aggregation. And it was on, but no luck. I get soon t-mobile and i will see.
Hallo, I'm back.
Now i have T-Mobile in Germany and i have to find out that VoLTE is not running. Also HDVoice is not possible. I try with 432b320 firmware. I Think The providers have intewrnal lists which phones can use VoLTE. but why HDVoice is not running? 3 Year Old Phones can do it. is it an Firmware Problem? i can test it and play different firmwres original AL-10 und over TWRP C432. And I can switch back to AL10 region. is it worth it? or is the Al10 Hardware not compatible with HDVoice?
do u have the option for HDvoice in your settings?
dont forget that all B3xx firmwares are still beta, so nothing is guaranteed

I hear first time about this option, normaly in all Phones and Tablates this option enabled, without must to enable this. in the original AL 10 Firmware there is a option to enable VoLTE.i seen about 10 Phones and no one has such an option. i remember in some older samsung you can enable/disable AMR-WB in hidden menu

Umm, the EU model does have capacitive buttons. Not sure where you've got your info from
I'd recommend the US version of the phone purely because of the support from ZTE to that market. The additional features on the 6GB china version like force touch doesn't justify the trouble you may face from a software perspective. Go with the US version if you can.
My bad
checked amazon germany it has Capacitive button
Thanks for your suggestion
but us model doesnt support b40 lte band
this is the only thing backing be from buying this model
else this thread wouldnt have appeared
in 2017G ,stock rom of 2017u can be flashed?
I suppose you can flash the ROMs interchangeably but I've read that some had some functionalities missing . You can follow @DrakenFX ROM thread which has all the info you need. Considering the EU variant doesn't have an unlocked boot loader yet, flashing ROMs isn't the straightforward solution, let alone flashing a ROM not meant for that variant.
On a side note, the EU one albiet costly, has a 3 year warranty. Of course you and me, cant avail that anyway.
The US is suppose to get the 6GB model in the 4th quarter I think.
Are A2017(Chinese) , A2017U(US) and A2017G(Global) three different device model numbers (hardware wise)?
OR
Are they three different firmware numbers that can be flashed on same hardware device?
They are different devices for different regions
And with the locked bootloader they aren't able to be flashed to different region.
Each have different bands for phone too...

Thank you for the quick response.
So I presume the A2017G global firmware cannot be flashed on c Hines model A2017.
I am planning to buy the chinese model A2017 for use in Singapore. I Have verified that it does support the LTE network bands used by Singapore telcos. The seller on aliexpress confirmed that it will work in singapore and has English language and all Google apps
Would that be a wise thing to do or should I buy the global device model A2017G?
Would you happen to know out of A2017 and A2017G, which model has better
Dev support on xda? (From the perspective of rooting, unlocking, AOSP Roms etc)

Both.
Hardware-wise, the three models are banded differently, and support different cellular connections. For example, the US and China models have CDMA support, while the Global model is not banded for CDMA. The three models have differing LTE bands as well (US model tailored to LTE bands used in North America, Global model tailored to bands used in Europe/Asia, etc).
Software-wise, they're pretty similar, but there are some differences. For example, the Global model has lowered audio output (compared to US model) potentially due to EU regulations. On the flip-side, the Global model has a special menu option for "Glove Mode", to make the phone easier to use when you're wearing gloves, which is omitted from the US model. The US model has an included theme called "Stock Android", which is missing from the China and Global models. The China model does not come with Google Play services by default, because China.
Support-wise, ZTE USA has a community forum that employees participate in to answer questions and whatnot, as does ZTE China. ZTE Europe, however, does not seem to, and can only be contacted via phone/email.
Someone here on XDA was able to flash the Global model's ROM on a US model, but had to specifically flash the US model's modem in order to get cellular working. However, it might have been because the US model can be bootloader unlocked, so the US model can be flashed with other ROMs. The Global and China models don't have official bootloader unlock yet (I'm not entirely sure if the unofficial method posted here on XDA works on the Global and China models)
Thank you for the detailed response. Much appreciated.
Does anyone has any pictures with that stock Android theme?

Search for Axon 7 reviews on Youtube. Any review that shows a white Android app drawer icon in the middle of the nav bar is a US unit using the Stock Android theme.
Damn I'd love that stock interface. Now I'm running Pixel Launcher.

Hi,
Why do you say the AL10 version isn't compatible with LTE 800mhz ? Normally it is...

Al 10,L29,L09 have Band 20(800Mhz) without unlock or flash another Software.
As far as I know, there are 3 versions of the Axon 7:
A2017 (Chinese Version)
A2017U (US / North American Version)
A2017G (Global / European Version)
Only A2017G has LTE band 20 which is very important here in Europe.
Unfortunately the more powerful hardware with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash is only available in China.
Of course I can buy the phone from aliexpress or similar website in Chinese Version. But is there a way to flash a A2017G ROM (including modem) to the A2017 version and get a fully functional European version including full LTE bands but now with more powerful hardware?
i would also like to know. i have the A2017 bought from aliexpress, and i live in Japan. I need to upgrade to the A2017G modem, as my reception has gone to **** since the B15 update. Marshmellow firmware had much better reception. Its that or wait until the next flashable firmware update.
Good luck to us both
I would also like to know too! But after searching on xda and other sites. I don't think this is do-able. T_T
I started to try the qcn method but it does not work for me unless someone can share the original qcn file of axon7 A2017G or A2017G
In my case I need to activate band 8.
My axon is Chinese only has FDD LTE band 1,3,7
