N9100 just Eng, Kor, Simple Chinese only. How to change to Fully Support Multi-Lang? Can Odin CSC (N910u...) file?
Yes I have the unlocked version of this SM-N9100 and I cannot read Chinese and the Factory Mode (Download) is all in Chinese so I cannot install CF-Root but the device is rooted somehow and I need to get the Factory Mode in English if at all possible?
just FYI
I know you cant install the google play apps on these without rooting first, but I just found that you CAN install the Amazon App store then install another keyboard like SWYPE that supports multi languages...
SM-N9100
Hi guys,
I received my SM-N9100 today from ebay. When i booted, all was Chinese. Luckily i had a friends galaxy S5 as a visual reference to navigate through the settings and change the language to English. If it helps once in settings you are looking for a green icon near the bottom with an "A" in the middle, then the very top option showed me the languages where you can clearly see "English"
Just picking up on a previous post to make sure everyone is clear, There are 3 variations of the N9100 in china, you must make sure you purchase the international unlocked version. On mine it came preloaded with the play store, no need to root, and i am currently using 2 British sim cards (3 & EE) with no issues at all. No noticeable battery drain at this stage. Very happy with purchase.
I was personally thinking of buying a Huawei ascend mate 7 (gold) from China, the mt7-tl10 version.
I just want to make a thread about what you should know before importing, because I noticed many people are asking about this.
If you guys could just complete the list:
1. You should check the frequenties.
2. You should check if it's unlocked.
3. ...
I personally want to know:
1. What the difference is between chinese and international ROM
2. If I can update without problem to future updates.
3. Does it come with google apps installed.
4. Does the chinese ROM have English language.
5. What kind of power-outlet do i need in Europe.
I have bought the 128 gig storage - 4 gig RAM from china and it arrived today, need some help and have some questions here:
1. In "about phone - Model number" section it said ZTE A2017, No app drawer, No G or U after the model number, no google play store, I searched a little on the various models, it seems mine is Chinese, am I right?
2. Is it possible to unlock the bootloader/ root/ xposed for my device model ( Chinese)?
3. If the answer is yes, Can I flash G or U model to the device? or because of its possible band differences and 128 G storage instead of 64 G it will cause problems?
4. It has android version 6.01 , mifavor ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B07, it said I can update if to B13, size 711.75 mb, are the info and changelogs are in Chinese, I don't know is it Nougat or just a regular bug fixing update. anyone have the same device that could help me here? I read in previous mifavor roms it is possible to unlock the BL, Should I update now?
please check the attachments
Thank you in advance
This is a Chinese version of axon 7 (that's why you don't have G or U). As I know so far only this version have combination of 128GB/4GB.
There are development section for rooting unlocking - just jump there and read a loot of stuff.
Probably the whole process is nearly same as U and G model.
Also you might have Chinese recovery menu. I do not have Chinese version of axon 7 in my hand but I have few others Chinese exclusive phones and they have some type of Chinese language core.
And before update search that unlocking method work with B13.
Cheers
Pretty sure bands are set by hardware and are not changeable.
Read your post again and see you just want to flash other firmware. This is fine if you follow the twrp flashable firmware guide.

It seems bootloader of U models in previous firmware builds can be unlocked, seen it on youtube, I want to know if I do the same with my Chinese model it won't brick the device; hoped someone did this before, then I wanted to flash the G or U model on it, it would be so good if someone know if specific bands are limited in other models and they have all actual similar inside that could be useable in different models or some bands are really missed in different models and if not, maybe flash U firmware with Chinese model bands separately, confused here that I am only one trying to do that!
Chines recovery menu?! now I am :silly: now I am pissed why i did not think about it before
I think frimware numbers are different from U and Global models, last U model frimware is B29 and Chinese is B13, am I right? if that so I could not use the unlocking method on it
reasons that I order from China:
1. I don't live in US, I'm in middle east, even though I can get it with help of my brother who lives in US I have preferred not to bother him for purchasing and sending by post, tax...
2. when I decided to buy one, 128 G wasn't available in US
3. 64G is not enough for me especially with these VR programs and games sizes and yes I know I can expand with MicroSD but it's not adaptative and I always prefer more internal storage and it is UFS 2 and I want to use my 2sims on it.
4. this model cost me around 350 US$ (silver color), that's a good deal; this year BF the 64G model were 350$ , also 128+6 G is around 500 US$ and I think its not worth the 150 extra $.

You said bands are not changeable, but if I flash other models frimwares like U or G model if the bands weren't there it could cause problem.
another question is firmwares of the same models but with different storage ( 64/128G) or Ram (4/6G) are different?
Hi, I just bought a zte axon 7 A2017 chinese model with 4gb ram and 128gb rom I've never installed a new rom and I'm a little afraid. Should I install b10? And is there a safer way to do it? I should mention that I have a MacBook pro but i've installed windows if they are needed
Hi All
I wonder if someone can help me.
I was given a P30 Pro as a gift while working in China, sadly its the Chinese variant.
Is there any way I can flash the global firmware onto the device overwriting the Chinese version?
I understand that doing so the NFC will not work for payments as its not certified outside China but thats no hardship.
It does have the google framework services on but none of the apps.
I have tried the update via USB and memory stick but the device reported no firmware found, (version isssue?).
Sadly the bootloader is locked too.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
