Hello, please do not say the latest version, because the last version has the camera bug as well.
The last confirmed working version is I9301IXXUANI1_I9301IITVANJ1_I9301IXXUANI2_HOME
I had just downgraded back from installing I9301IXCUANJ6, from the italian region. Hopefully it will avoid useless data wipes for other people :good:

Hi Spark,
as some other users I have my problems with the Camera Bug. I flashed four in this forum recommended ROMs with wiping each time Cache, System and Internal Storage , and activated Nand Erase before flashing with Odin. But each time the error message appears again.
That somehow drives me crazy. Idon't know wht to do else. Any Idea?

Galaxy S3 Neo
Hello people
Great news, to fix S3 Neo camera server error you need to install stock rom I9301IXXUANH1 from Sammobile.
It really works

does any1 knows if the lates version (I9301IXXUANG1 from open Austria ) also has the camera bug?
cause they say this is the best firmware version with the lowest battery usage

New Phone (for mum ) and I thought lets flash new FW for Germany DBT for it... What the f**k! Camera stop working with this well known Server issue!
Its an GT-I9301I for European Region. Bought in Germany.
This one made the camera working again for me!

Thanks goodness. Thought I bricked the phone right out of the box
Thanks to this thread for kicking me in the right direction!

when you bought the phone had the version XXUAN ... but if flashi firmware XCUAN .... the camera will not work and will fail. If you would like to solve the problem you have to flash the firmware again that had your phone when it was bought

that's right. we've got 2 versions with 2 cameras. xc camera and xx camera. this is not a bug. people just flash the appropriate rom for each. don't mix.

If it's not a bug, than why does the official ota flash the wrong update?

Maybe because OTA will flash updates for the current installed firmware. For example if you have got a XCUAN firmware OTA will fash the updated version for XCUAN. if you have got a XXUAN firmware OTA will fash the updated version for XXUAN. if the camera won't work after the update you have to install the correct update manually. You can find firmwares on SAMMOBILE

Flash Chinese Rom on Honor 7EU

Hi to all,
Ive been reading a lot this forum, and i find the chinese version more complete, so my question is simple.
¿is it possible to flash a chinese rom? I like chinese features, and i read it gets more updates.
My only worries are warranty and to lose european radio bands.
Any help?

Give it a try and let us know how you get on....;0)

Thanks for your message sheridan2000,
I'm a newie, until now I only had a nexus 4, wich have a huge community, I don't know how to do if for this new phone I just received, and I'm worried about the warranty, about brick if and if is possible get back to EU flash rom.
My abilities are limited, and with my lack of knowledge I feel is too risky.
If some one with experience can bring some information would be great.
Regards,

Just kidding fella, think at this early stage in developement best not to flash any roms not intended for the EU version as may mess up your phone. When we get a fully working ROOT and TWRP then there will be some safety in doing so....

Agree with him! When we get a stable and well working custom recovery, I think people will mod the Honor 7 more.
Any why do you want the chinese version? I tried a chinese MIUI rom on my Honor 6, and the all the chinese stuff drove me crazy so I had to roll back to a normal EU rom...

Hi!
I feel like chinese rom is more "updated" I think european version is more "conservative" as they might try to secure the user experience. Chinese rom gets much more updates, Ive read something about huawei idchanger; Chinese rom also have more options like recording call, navigation shortcuts, youtube bloat window and download...
In nexus we could chose wich part of the rom we would like to flash, is that posible in this huawei? What I have thought is what about flash the Chinese rom, without flash the radio baseband in order to keep the compatibility with european LTE bands. Any idea??

I did this on my european honor 6 plus. DO NOT DO IT.
No way to get back to european firmware. But was probably because officallollipop was not out yet. More hassle than it was worth. Voided warrenty also. DO NOT ATTEMPT

Thank you for your usefull feedback.
I hope soon someone finds a safe way to run and revert back this kind of test.

One question: you had the complete nandroid backup and you couldn't flashed it after experimenting with the Chinese ROM over EU? How far did you get then or where did you stuck when trying to reverse?
I never had EU Honor 7, but my personal opinion is that before playing with different roms, you should be perfectly aware what are you doing and what do you want to achieve. Changing hardware is out of the question and probably is the same with drivers. At least to the point when a real custom rom appears. As I mentioned there are some modifications of Chinese roms already available as a flashable zip, which don't alternate baseband or kernel in general, but they are customized to particular roms. Flashing any of them on EU rom could be safe only if you can get back in the case anything goes wrong. Otherwise, if you just need a particular system application, you can always try to push it to the system with appropriate file manager and stay safe as long as you have the nandroid backup.

Nandroid backup did not work through twrp.
Chinese rom was fine but was a developer edition.
Phone can not go back to kitkat from chinese lollipop.
Tried offical downgrade package. Did not work.
Tried back up many times. Did not work.
Chinese emui site takes hours to load and most of the time fails through multiple browsers.
Dont waste your life.
I was still in my 14 day return so exhange by my network to honor 7
Never messing with a huawei phone again where there is little to no support

i had tried chinese rom PLK-U00 which is DUAL 4G as per claim by Honor China, what i do is i extract out the boot&recovery&system&cache&userdata img from the update.app (using huawei tools) then flash it under fastboot, it will boot & load to "Android is upgrading" but after the progress finish it restart itself and repeat the "android is upgrading" progress

I've tried the same with 5.1.1 ply-tl01h rom. I get the bootloop with boot and system flashed and almost get to the home screen using the boot from the 121 firmware

Hi,
I hope you could find a way. I know there are chinese roms available, but hard to find and understand, we might ask them in english then they might help us.
I hope you could fix your phone

Hello Guys,
I bought my Honor 7 yesterday, and this is the model number -- PLK-L01C636B120
I tried to update to B121 or B130 or 140, All of them failed.
As I read my device model is Malaysia not Europe, So Can I flash Europe Stock ROM and flash all the updates?

NO i don’t think so! You should do not do that, because there are some differences between both firmwares. Pre-defaults for the mobil-net (modem drivers) ; LTE specifications; maybe some functions like recording during a call etc.
Edit: @Muhammad Rihawi have tried it and it seems to work. But i dont’t recommand it anyway!

China rom + Europe rom

Now I using China rom b370, overall performance is good.
Camera have more options such as time lapse, object recognition, and online translation.
Phone manager have permission manager and virus scanner
Fingerprint is faster
Ability to download video from any app such as Tumblr
And lots more.
Disadvantages,
no ability to lock signal, sometime crashes, charging slow ( some say new update fix it)
How to install?
Simply download any China marshmallows rom, extract the ' system' and 'boot' file using 'huawei update extractor'
Flash it using Fastboot
First boot take longer time.
After that Install the downloaded rom using normal update method ( folder dload)
Rom can be obtain from 4pda forum ( Russian)
.......................................................................................
MY question is it possible to get China rom features into Europe rom?? ? ?

What model do you have?
Didn't you debrand your phone to a China model? If so, to which model?

I installed B380 yesterday but protected apps function doesn't work. I enabled it for Whatsapp but when I clear the background apps, Whatsapp going also. To get notifications, I had to open Whatsapp again and you should never close it. Then I went back to new B220 rom, same thing happened again. After that debranded to PLK-L01 again and I am using B180 right now, everything works fine. Unstable Marshmallow is killing me. I will not update until a stable firmware come up.
I have a B371 update notification right now but it's not useful too.
But except this issue, Chinese firmwares are really good and clean. Even there are no Google Apps. I installed manually GAPPS Pico version.

First, I debranded to PLK-TL01H from PLK-L01. And I installed B380 Full OTA directly via dload way.
Debranding is not necessary always but it's better when the phone version is fully compatible with firmware.
And you cannot get any update if you do not do debrand thing.

Hi again,
The cust is specific for each region ( at least i think it's this )
You have the C432BXXX ( C432 means Europe, so you'll have the update for european device )
That's why i think you can install a different Rom, but whitout the ota's
And finaly, debrand the phone put the cust of your choice and allow you to receive the ota's
I wish you good luck

Hi,
Well, i've never used the Multitool to debrand, but After installation of your Rom, have you made a hardreset ? ( Before trying debrand )
And have you got a custom recovery ? ( to receive ota, recovery stock is required )

You can't get OTA update quickly. This may take a while. And you don't have to wait, just download B380 and install it.

Hello, i just receive my new phone with CN firmware ZTE_A2017V2.1.1B07. It come with international languages and google play installed so no OTA update available. Now, i don't want to take too many risk so i just want to be able to use my phone with nougat 7.1 and my question is can i directly install from recovery mode the B13 7.1 version or did i need 1st to install the full B09 and after OTA for B13, then reinstallation of googplay ? If i'm right every time i install a new full firmware i will have to reinstal googleplay ?

To install google play and make the phone works for your country, the seller must had messing around with your phone.
So before make any risk, you should unlock bootloader, then you can flash recovery and install A2017U or A2017G (depend on where you live). It have google service pre-install, english without chinese craps.

That could be my next step but i'm not really confident doing this right now (newbee). My concern is will my 2/3/4G work well with a A2017G on a CN phone, no modem or band problem ? Of coure that would be more simple because after i will be able to do all updates with OTA. Anybody can confirm that going from A2017 to A2017G work 100% ? Is there a guide A2017 (CN) to A2017G ? I see a lot of good informations here on xda but i don't want to brick my new phone . So if someone can provide me a step by step or a link with the full procedure that will help me a lot.

I myself run A2016U on chinese model. Work fabulous (wifi, cellurar, mobile network) - as long as you flash right modem.
My phone is already unlock bootloader when seller gives it to me, and I do plenty things (even run into EDL only, but not dead still, chinese model rule!!).

Yes the key point is the modem ... I'm too newbee to make the sorcer apprentice ... I really need some help to do that right.

Okay I also ordered the same phone (A2017 China version) from AliExpress and the seller installed Google play and international language support. My phone came with B07 (same as yours).
Now read this really carefully, your phone is not stock, to install Google play and language support the seller messes around with the phone at the system level, so the phone will not receive OTA updates and will not flash OTA update files, the Chinese recovery is also useless. Any attempt to forcefully update the device will soft brick your phone.
You can keep running the B07 ROM but of you want to update you will have to unlock bootloader, root and install TWRP on your phone.
I have created a rar file with all the files you need to root and unlock bootlader:
https://ufile.io/980b3
Follow the instructions here:
Follow the instructions here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/newbies-guide-to-unlocking-rooting-axon-t3496234
Remember to run the backup program "axon7backup.exe" to backup your recovery and boot before rooting.
Also update twrp using fastboot once you have unlocked the bootloader.
After installing the latest twrp you can update to the latest nougat chinese build using this:

PM me if you have anymore questions

Thanks Vurio, doing like you said bring me to A2017 B13 Nougat 7.1 in chinese version right ? Is that preferable and more easier to do this than trying to go on A2017G ? I'm in Switzerland and the phone work great 2G/4G so i don't really need to be on G version. Just one more newbee question, every time i put a new firmware i will need to reinstall all my apps and of course Googplay ?

If I flash the u or g version on this phone. Are the LTE bands 20 unlocked like one the g version?

I have the Chinese version. All i done when i got it was flashed the full Chinese firmware and installed Google services and apps. I've been getting the ota updates and am now on 7.1.1. Which came ota Sunday. I did not need to root or anything.
I'm in uk.

Thanks for your reply Alom5, difference with your situation is that they allready put googleplay and international language before sending the phone to me... I would love to be in your situation but it same that it's not the case ...

Thanks Vurio, doing like you said bring me to A2017 B13 Nougat 7.1 in chinese version right ? Is that preferable and more easier to do this than trying to go on A2017G ? I'm in Switzerland and the phone work great 2G/4G so i don't really need to be on G version. Just one more newbee question, every time i put a new firmware i will need to reinstall all my apps and of course Googplay ?

Everytime you flash a new ROM, you need to wipe data, so yes you need to reinstall Google play and all your apps. But if you are rooted you can use titanium backup and that makes restoring apps really easy and quick.
About the firmware, axon 7 has 3 versions, Chinese, European and american. Each one comes with its own set of 4g bands and that cannot be changed no matter what you flash.
The Chinese and the american versions are most compatible with each other. You can use the American rom on the Chinese version but the changes will be aesthetic only. You will get rid of all the annoying Chinese text and apps and your phone will look and feel more "global". The modem of the phone will still remain Chinese so the bands won't change.

Ok so titanium is a must because we will have some new firmware this year ...
I'm not a newbie on computer thing but Android .... I discover it on my shield tv 2 monthes before ... I'm not scared to try but it's the fact to try and not to be sure 100% that work.
Your solution same to be the one but i see now that some (other) chinese seller propose A2017 CN version with A2017G installed ... How they do that ? Did they also flash the modem ?
I repeat i dont really need A2017G but i want to apply the most optimal option for my situation and when you don't really know what you do, it's not easy ... Also when you just pay some $$ to a brand new phone ...

The modem will not work. The modem will only work for the particular device. The seller on AliExpress never have the best reputation.
I am guessing that they would flash the European ROM but leave the modem Chinese. This is possible but European compatibility is not the best with Chinese version.
The american on the other hand has the best compatibility and even received updates faster. For eg. American version is on 7.1.1 whereas the European version is on 7.0.
And I completely agree with your sentiments on your new phone. One should always be careful and have complete information before messing around with a phone.
Also titanium backup only works on rooted phones. Titanium and adaway are the only reason that the first thing I do when I get a new phone is root it ??

I bought mine from aliexpress. They done the same thing and put a note saying you shouldn't do anything... Or something to that effect. Trust me, your in exactly the same situation. There's a few threads on here from a few months ago. All you need to do is flash the stock firmware. Flag the Google apps and update them and away you go. Check the threads, I'm out so ain't got time to look but i think they were in the general section. Definately easy as pie. I've not had to write my phone since. Have had a couple of ota updates and no problems

Did you flash the official firmware without rooting and installing TWRP?

Yes. I have never rooted the phone or installed any other recovery. Just flashed the firmware by having it on the internal sd card and update software.
Please read through the thread where this is discussed in detail and works easy before you start.
I followed info from that thread and it went fine.

Ok alom5 you got my attention now. I'm really not in hurry f you can give me the thread (when you have some time) tomorow or later. This phone is so great, i will take my time to make the right think. Just to be clear you receive OTA after flashing ? So i need to flash the stock A2017 B07 ( i presume), then reinstall "properly" googplay and after i will receive all news OTA update ? Sound great ... Could be the easiest way for me ... When you flash back to stock and restart can you choice the language or are you only in chinese ?

I'm searching in the forum and if i see right i can directly flash the B13 version for SD ? http://www.zte.com.cn/china/sitecor...rt/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78 I'm downloading right now ... 9 hours remaining ...

This thread should help you.

How do you update? I get an error update failed after boot when I try to update using the file manager method. I have eu model and A.08 firmware...

Is it possible to downgrade to previous A.08 version ?
For some unknown reason, I have some signal problem when IPV4 on my french carrier (Bouygues telecom) since the upgrade, I have to go to ipv6 if I want to have data
I would like to go back to ipv4 and having data, like in the A.08 version
Could it brick my phone if I flash the A.08 over this A.09 ?
Thanks !

Thanks for the India link. Haven't got a push yet so will download.
Waiting on realme ui!

Enabled ADB in developer options
Connected to PC and run in terminal "ADB reboot recovery"
From there i chose "Install Update from local storage" and selected the ozip

How can I downgrade from A09 to A08 ?
When I try to launch the A08 update it reboots after 1min and after this the message error : can't update
And I'm still on A09
I have problems with A09 with ipv4 and no data since A09..
