I've been lurking around this forum section for a while but couldn't find a clear answer to my question :
what are the hardware differences between A2017 model ( chinese ) and A2017G model ( european )?
is it doable to get a full software replica (including OTAs ) of the european model by flashing a chinese bought model?
the only difference i could detect so far is the zte logo on the chinese version
Software, I assume, it is not a problem. The main differences are in radio modules. Each model supports different LTE Bands., e.g. A2017G supports LTE B28 but model U and Chinese doesn't.
I'm planning to buy this device as well, but I don't really like the capacitive buttons of the EU version.
I'm reading throught various thread but I cannot find an answer for the following question : if I buy the chinese A2017 model with on screen navbar (softkeys) will I be able to install LineageOS ? For example the Unjustified Dev's builds ?
As much as I've understood CM13 works ok, but Lineage 14.1 does not because of older bootloader

I think Lineage has an option to enable soft keys built into the settings

thanks!!!

instal
please tell me how to install it
thanks
when you have downloaded it.
transfer it on your phone....
Then with your mx4 file explorer, choose the file. execute it...
After it's automatic....
The file name must be update.zip. if it's not the case, rename it before....
Enjoy
is it possbile to install A version of firmware?
4.2.6A for instance?
You can install A version on your mx4. The différence between international version is some chinese apps. You can uninstall them after installing a A version.
Remember that if you pass on beta version...it's test version. They're fully functionnal, but there is still some bugs.
4.2.6a version for mx4 is a beta version....no?
I have a mx4 pro. So i can't give you advice about 4.2.6a for mx4.

The latest version is a beta 4.2.8.2A, hosted here:
http://goo.gl/pZFB8Y
Theres at least three betas out at the moment, not sure which that one is, but i have 4.2.8.2A B3.
Keep in mind you can only update to these builds if your current firmware version does not end in "i". The i phones can only flash "i" firmware, all other versions - A, U, C and Y can flash any firmware but i.

For me it is almost impossible to read something in this forum, I am not russian and the google translator dont translates the forum. It is more easy to read the chinese forums
All my sources come from this forum, I think that is probably most active forum about Meizu in europe: http://www.htcmania.com/forumdisplay.php?f=949

Thanks man, useful. Tell me, what do you know of the softkeys? Or am i going to have to edit the framework to get an always-on nav bar? Any way to have a bar in the home app? Some xposed module maybe? Dont know anything about xposed beyond the technical stuff.

I don know, I am really used to the Flyme central button controls, so I haven't use any softkeys or anything like that.
Maybe in the Xposed module "FlymeTools" you will find an option you want. The module is very complete and has a lot of options. You can download the last version here: https://mega.co.nz/#!XgBXlYDb!jLiw-6csb-EkeMvWWj7ABJ0w4rpOOV-gBT43NdMgFGE

Nah looks like i would manually need to change the framework... tried the module its pretty useless beyond changing status bar positions. At least for my needs.
Well I've already got a One Plus 6T from China, really new with this.
I also have no experience with One Plus variants. Could I change the current Hydrogen OS of my new OP to International version Oxygen OS after unlocking its bootloader
:highfive: Really appreciate your answer and help.

My Redmi 7A is a Global version (PCMMIXM) but I live in Europe and would like to change it to European version (PCMEUXM).
Is it possible, and if so what's the difference?

You need unlocked bootloader.
Yes it is possible to change EU version download
Fastboot rom eu version and flash with mi flash tools
Download the same version .the difference
1(for working face unlock don't need change country
2) privacy and personal data.
First of all check arb protection if enabled.

Thank you for the info.
Now my next question, if you don't mind:
I already own the phone so I can't do nothing about it, but I'm getting tired of all this forced protection "for my own good". I live in a free country and I'm not used to this kind of BS.
So, can I get rid of MIUI for good and start having full control on MY phone? this includes getting rid of google spyware as much as possible.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks again
I just found e.foundation site. It seems to have all I need, absolutely ungoogled
They have a section in the forum to request new supported devices. I was the third to ask it for Redmi 7A.
Could it be of interest?
Before unlocking I'm studying possible choices to live without google/xiaomi spyware and crapware.

I tried and it is fine you can install the fastboot eea rom and relock the bootloader if you phone is the global version. It is not the same as trying to install the china rom since the eea rom is essentially the global rom with the option to opt of personalised ads and some other privacy enhancements. It won't brick your phone (I am not talking about the xiaomi.eu roms which do need to have the bootloader permanently unlocked).
Hey everyone,
I'm currently in China and I'm thinking of buying the OnePlus 8 Pro. However, the Mainland 8 Pro currently only comes with the new Hydrogen OS, and limits use of certain features that I, as a user from the U.S. would like to use. The global website only has roms for download for up to the 7T Pro, not the 8 Pro yet. I'm wondering if there is any way to flash the global rom onto the 8 pro at this point. If not, I guess I'll have to reconsider my choices.
Thanks for the help.
P.S. Sorry, I'm a bit new to all this, so if there are any issue with my question, or if its unclear to you. Please let me know.

You might want to reconsider... The 5g frequencies differ from the models... I'm not sure where I read it but do some extra research before buying and not fully functioning back home...

Wasn't able to flash. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted no problem. But then whenever I try to flash to Oxygen, it says that I am not allowed to "downgrade". I think because the nomenclature for Oxygen is lower than that of Hydrogen right now.

Hi All,
I have a ZTE Axon 7 (model A2017G) android version 7.1.1, build ZTE A2017GV1.2B10, Kernel 3.18.31, european version
I'm looking for what is the best android version for this phone currently, in terms of performance and features. Also a safe version without malware spyware ect
With the version I have it can be slow with apps and miss many feature for instance i can't block a caller etc not sure why i installed it from package i got here.
I'm not looking for last android version or anything just the one that will make the phone best perform. It's from 2017 after all.
If you can let me know also where i can download this best version ?
many thanks !
I'm sorry I don't know what the best version is, but these forums have at least two modern CM 16's for Axon7. One thread is

I would recommend updating to official 8.0 version B04. Works well and is an improvement over 7.1
