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.

It's not problem for you? Come on man!!! you always yelling at me that i bought phones with no warranty from china ... now you say warranty is not important to you? I guess end of the world is soon :silly:
So today I've realized something important.
I have the Axon 7 (the international version, not the US version) and I wasn't aware of the difference between the versions.
I've had a lot of problems, apps, UX problems and other stuff that were bothering me and I joined the Z-Community (ZTEs forums), and apperantly there are two versions.
The US version, and the international version.
The main differences:
The US version gets the updates before the international one for some reason.
The international version has a few minor bugs / features that were removed in the US version. Soon they should be in sync with the updates.
I've been hearing about a better experience with MiFavour from people with the US version. Mine wasn't that good and I'm waiting for the updates/an official cyanogenmod release.
If you buy the Axon 7; It's an excellent phone. Top notch. Just know that if you're buying the international version, you're going to have some minor difficulties with the ROM/launcher, but they will be resolved in the future as updates get in sync.

You can just install TWRP and install the US version of the ROM, and also make sure to flash the bootstack zip file after so everything works
I also have the international version (G) and currently I'm running Cyanogenmod mod which was made for the U but all you do is flash the bootstack zip that comes with the stock firmware files
Hello and Merry Christmas!
Some questions .. unlocking the bootloader, install twrp, install ROM, install the US version of firmware or cyanogen flash, due the loss of warranty? as she works cyano? Problems or bugs?
Why would you buy Int version unless it was a lot cheaper. The main advantage of Axon is the warranty and I doubt you will get any if you bought Int version.

The US version has a Stock Android theme that includes an app drawer. The Global version has a more EMUI-like interface, with no app drawer.

because different bands. we in europe need 800/1800/2600mhz bands, those are not on U version. and it's not cheaper, it's 50-60% more than it costs in america.

I bought the Italian version for better support. However I did not think that updates, in Italy, they were so slow .. Can I install firmware US or international, and then, if I need assistance, restore the original Italian firmware without a trace?
the Italian software is full of bugs and stopped the b06 release...

No. sorry, I have not explained well. there are no exactly Italian version. Actually is the European version of G. But the purchase made by Italy through Amazon, laid down a special guarantee that is called VIP. I do not know if it is present in general on sales in Europe. however, if I had bought the US version would have no guarantee VIP, (as well as not have all the 3g / 4g bands used by some of our telephone operators). at the same time, however, the European version is definitely defective, with many bugs. I do not know if the bootloader unlocking (and flash others firmware or rom) causes an indelible mark of "tampering" from which there is no going back. Probably so, I will return the phone.

Because the international version is cheaper and gives you a 3 year VIP warranty which is better than what the USA offers.

As far as bootloader unlock it works on A2017G, although it's a little risky and one might brick the phone... And there is no special mark and one can simply re-lock afterwards

perfect. thanks for the info ... by chance, could you tell me a link with some guidance and / or recommend some firmware or ROM that works well (or better) of the European stock b06? It would be good with some ROM you do not lose the DAC functions and Dolly Atmos .. I do not know if the US firmware is compatible (see the modem problem \ bands 800 \ 1600 etc.)

First you need to unlock bootloader... For A2017G I don't know a guide, I have US version, but maybe someone else can help out...
Then you can flash the US stock version or the modded one from DrakenFX that is stock based and therefore has same audio features (check ROM section)
And as long as you stay on A2017G modem (better back it up) all the ROMs are compatible with all different phone versions as all share the same hardware except for some hard coded modem stuff

You should be fine for the most part. The only difference will be the network band support. You can flash the International ROM. As long as it's not a locked T-Mobile variant.
You'll need to check your network bands of your network provider and the compatibility of the model A6010.
Conversion is easy if need be.

My question isnt about language is about the band frecuency global version can support.
Or we can have issues with antirollback? And need to have unlocked bootloader.
Maybe even with bootloader unlocked bands will not be abailable.

The global version of the Redmi K20 as the Xiaomi Mi 9T will be on sale on Monday, June 17th with the 6GB/64GB version on sale for 299 Euros for that day only while supplies last. Phones come down in price after 2-3 months. Bands are shown here under Specs https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t/specs/
You need to unlock bootloader first then can flash to any firmware Global EU RU, but this will not give you band support. bands are hardware thing.
Since the EU version of the OnePlus seems to work with Dual SIM.
Can we flash the US version with the EU OxygenOS and be able to get Dual SIM working in the US?

Actually, this is what I did. Using US Version (Model: IN2025) and then was flashing with the EU Oxygen OS Version 10.5.4. After the flash, the update to Oxygen OS 10.5.6.IN11BA automatically was retrieved and installed.
Two things are surprising to me:
- I was expecting that after 10.5.6 upgrade, dual SIM should work, when limiting the network to 2G/3G/4G. However it still shows that the dual-sim function is not working.
- I thought that flashing the US device with EU, would also change the model from IN2025.
What am I missing here?
Thanks & Best.
dont think it works like that
you risk bricking it by cross flashing firmware

I was using this post -- and no issues. :angel:
OnePlus chat support told me that only configuration and software is different between the regional devices, hardware is all the same.
However it also didn't solve what I wanted to achieve - dual-SIM and (at best) also European bands - like n78 ... :crying:
