Klte vs kltedv flashing

Hi,
I am currently running albinoman's cm13 Rom from 11 11 2015. I was considering updating to a new build in that thread (don't have the link currently sorry) but it is for klte devices and I am running a kltedv device.
When I first got into flashing mods I wasn't sure what the differences are. Would it matter if I flash klte instead? Would it just mean some features wouldn't work?
Thanks.

Bump / Is this posted in the wrong section?

The phone you are using is a Vodafone variant of S5 (SM-G900M)
The difference between F & M is the support for LTE bands
M Supports LTE Cat4 700/850/1700/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1,2,4,5,7,17)
F supports LTE Cat4 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,5,7,8,20)
Some roms have support for both M and F variants
But based on your info the rom is for F variant at the moment so there might be some 4G reception issues if you flash the latest release. In rare case your modem/baseband might break.

Hi, thanks for the info! According to my phone info it is a g900i does that make a difference?

Also is that the baseband info u have been hearing about, if so, where can u find that information on your phone and is there a good tutorial explaining what it is?

G900I supports more LTE bands also the Frequency is different for both the models
LTE reception might be an issue if your carrier does not support a particular band/frequency

To simplify if you flash wrong firmware there can be issues in cellular reception
Worst case your phone might get bricked

I take it by bricked it would simply be a soft-bricking, not a hard-brick? i.e. I would only need to re-flash what i am currently running (just making sure I have the correct terms!)

Yes, it will be a soft brick

Is this MM for XT1572 Single Sim Asia variant?

Hi,
Just saw the link to download this firmware XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPH24.49-18_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, around 1.2GB. Been searching around but haven't seen anyone mentioned what it is. So just wanna ask if it upgrades my X Style XT1572 Single Sim Asia variant to MM? Thanks.

Pretty sure that's for the dual sim variant.

Yes the _DS_ means dual SIM which was primarily launched in India and hence has the RETASIA carrier, no news yet for Single SIM Retail Asia Firmware

How frustrating is it to be on 5.1.1 and no update in sight for single sim asian firmware and hardly any roms to flash.

US-EU Version Differents

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.

H990TR version?

Does anyone know where I can buy this model? From what I understand, this single SIM version is the model that's likely to have the unlocked bootloader from LG and it was supposed to be released already.

H870DS/h870S

Hi
I recently got my hands on lg g6 dual sim. But its h870S not h870DS. Is there any difference???

there is no difference if you are asking about the hardware, but they will not be the same if you are willing to install a rom

So i cannot flash roms of Ds model??

The difference is H870DS have dual sim, 64Gb and quaddac, and H870S only have dual sim and i don't know if 32 or 64Gb. If you flash DS firmware in S model you will get a bricked phone. You can only flash firmwares with the same model and if it has different country variants.
