As china is also getting the snapdragon variant, will it be possible to unlock bootloader on those devices, unlike the US variants(yet) ?

Hi all. I'm plannig to buy ZTE Axon 7 from US. but I've some questions;
1. What is the code name of US version or EU Version like A2017U?
2. I like flashing custom rom etc, is it problem for different version or all files or roms are competible with all versions?
3. Are there any different except bands between EU-US version?

1) China = A2017, USA = A2017U, EU = A2017G
2) The only one you can flash on is A2017U as it has an unlocked bootloader but you lose the passport 2.0 warranty if you do this.
3) No differences except there is volume limits on the EU version which people forget about because of EU law and physically on the back of the device the US version says Axon underneath the fingerprint and EU does not.

No you can currently only flash on the US version due to it being the only one with unlocked bootloader.

There is a way to flash TWRP on the European model without unlocking the bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204), and use it to root, but currently there is no way to flash custom ROMs (like the CM13 alpha) on the European model.

i'll buy US version. EU model is not important for me
Well last night a bootloader unlock was released for both models but noone has tried it yet for the EU model so noone knows if it works and im hesitant to try it first as i use it as my daily driver. If it does work then you can flash roms.

That method only works on the US model. The European model is different. Nobody has tried the new bootloader unlock method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165) on the European model yet.

Someone was able to flash the European model's firmware on the US model, but as suspected, it broke the modem. You'll have to manually backup the modem from the US model, then flash the European firmware, and then restore the US model's modem in order to have network connectivity.

Software is the same as global Oxygen OS rom, only if you buy from China you would get the Chinese version of the rom. You should be able to flash the global variant on all versions :good:
I need unlocked bootloader to do that or not?
