I think the title wasn't explanatory enough, so let me tell you what's going on: I have a Mi 9T with MIUI Global 10.3.10.0PFJRUXM ROM installed on it.. I may be not knowledgeable enough and because of that I cannot comment on what's really going on here but why's the phone says it's a Global device but the ROM installed on is for Russian devices?
My second question which was also in title: I was trying to install the new MIUI 11 update by downloading the update file myself, and did download the global recovery rom(QFJMIXM) and tried to install it from the System Update menu, however, when I choose the zip file it just gives an that reads "Couldn't verify. Looks like current ROM's network carrier type is different from that in the Recovery package. Please download the correct ROM from MIUI forum" this is when I realized that my ROM is not a global one but rather a Russian one. So, I was wondering if installing a Russian update package could lead me into a bootloop or brick my device? I don't want to experiment with different update packages/ROMs to see which one I can get it to work because my BL is locked and I have no means of backing up my EFS/Modem partitions and I don't want to unlock my device.
What should I do with this? Should I wait for the OTA to arrive(previous owner said there was an update few days ago but they did not choose to install it right away and I can't see any updates as of now) or should I change my region to Russia to see if that'll work?
You have a russian device (like me...) and from MIUI System Update you can only install russian ROMs.
Of course it's perfectly safe, I did few days ago when I've got an OTA update.
You don't need to change your region.

Hi there,
is it possible to change region in my TPT? Actually I have ROW version and I don't want to wait a month to get official ICS.
So question is: Is it possible to change region of my TPT to EU for example? Or simply flash EU version to ROW tablet?
Thanks for answers and any tips.
Nobody knows?
The official lenevo update scripts check for specific files prior to running the install, so I expect that you would not be able to install say the US ICS udpate on a ROW tablet using the stock recovery image. And if you have root and installed CWM you probably don't want to instal the official ICS image as it will remove your root permissions.
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:

Follow the instructions here:

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:

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 ...

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 ...

I have a Zenfone 3 Z012DE and I do not know what firmware to install, since I have seen different models in the roms and otas uploaded to the forum, I do not know how to check the correct model to which my equipment corresponds
Is possible update to Nougat?, not link for my Firmware of my model ...
Edit: ZE552KL (Asus Z012DE)
Thanks
First off, as a new user I am unable to supply you the link directly to the page but I can direct you to where you would find your update:
If you search in Google "Zenfone 3 Z012DE" (Without quotation marks obviously) then the first link should be an Asus page. Once the page opens, you will see a bunch of gallery pictures of your device, near the top right under the search bar you should see Support, click it. Then, go to Driver & Tools, select Android as your OS and a few boxes should appear. On the second box, you will see the latest Nougat update for your device (WW-14.2020.1706.53). If you notice in your screenshot, your software code starts with WW, only download firmwares that start with WW off Asus support page since those are the only ones that will work with your devices. Unfortunately, if your phone works the same way as mine, your build indicates the date 09/09/2016 which means the latest update may not work because it will refuse to update on a build that is older than 01/20/2017 (I think that's the exact date) in which case you will have to download and upgrade each version at a time until you get to the lastest firmware.
To install the updates, copy them over to an SD card from a PC or download it through your phone and make sure you know where to find it on the SD card, boot into recovery and hit update from SD card.

Flash WW_13.20.10.152 first.
After flashing, update your device to WW_14.2015.1701.8/ WW_14.2015.1701.13
After upgrading to Nougat, flash the new WW_14.2020.1706.53 firmware.
P.S: These update files can be found on ASUS' website.
Hope this helps

Good afternoon, I can install firmware ww15 (Android 8) ASUS_Z012DE?
At the moment I have the firmware WW_13.20.10.152.
Do I have to install the firmware WW_14.2015.1701.8 and then the WW_14.2020.1706.53?
Or can I move from the WW_13.20.10.152 firmware directly to WW-15.0410.1712.31 or WW-15.0410.1801.40?

Hey guys
for some time i will be using a huawei p8 lite, i unlocked bootloder, rooted it with magisk and wanted to flash some rom - for example lineage as i see it's quite stable and available (and of course i want android 7 )
it's my first time with huawei and i must say i dont understand one thing. my phone's firmware is b584 (ALE-21C09B584), its double sim.
i have emui 4.0.3 so i wanted to upgrade to be able to install lineage os(which needs 4.1)
so i enter the "updater" in settings and try to do it, but it says that there are no available updates... before checking xda i thought its just the newest firmware but when i saw that there are new coming out every month or so....
i was looking at huawei's site but the only fw i can find are from 2015, lol
why cant i install it? does it mean that i cant have emui 4.1 on my phone? where does huawei post all these updates? can i find them on their site?
i got the "Firmware finder" app and it does find some updates, newest is B586 - but when i check in app if its available for my device - it says its not... the previous one is mine - B584
can i install this b586? does it contain emui 4.1? is it safe to install update which is not "confirmed" for my phone?
next one, should i install OTA or full OTA? (coming from b584)
if i cant install it or get 4.1, can i flash persona's mod over it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mod-c432b612emuipersona78-t3689367
there a link to C432B632 in this thread, won't it brick my phone?
im a little afraid to install it(it's a borrowed phone and i got permission to do what i want, but not to brick it )
do i have to make a full backup? it says that no data will be deleted
i had a nexus 5 before and everything was really more simple with that phone x.x with huawei it seems all messed up, why do they make updates if users cant install it?
thanks in advance for replies and help
EDIT: lol i though its going to be shorter, so
TL;DR - i want to get EMUI 4.1 to be able to install lineage os, im now on B584, cant update it via settings, "firmware finder" app says that b586 is not "confirmed" for my device
what to do?
Hi everyone !
i have many issues and limitations on my ZTE Axon 7 like battery drain and problems to connect with google account, remove or change it etc. Basically I'm not allowed to do anything telling me I dont have admin rights.. I tried already many solutions to sort these issues but none worked. Even if I do a factory reset I will still encounter same issues. I have european version of the phone I'm on build number ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B11, MIFavor UI 4.0, Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.20 and I want to upgrade it to B35 or a much more recent version. The update in the settings is telling me 'software up to date' so cant do it automatically.
Which version would you advise to have the most efficient and less limitative interface (maybe even avoid overlayers from zte) ? could you help me explaning how to choose and do an upgrade with all detailed steps? also I am wondering if any problem with upgrading and my phone doesnt work can I do a factory reset or nothing and do I lose the warranty doing so? I am looking for most simple way to do so (for a newbie)
thanks a lot !
Download the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM, put the update.zip in the root of SD and use the system update app. From that ROM there is a new Nougat B10 update as a precursor to updating to Oreo soon.

B35 is US. You have to use B08 or 09. But yeah, just update to B08
The Nougat V1.2.0B10 just released. You may get it from the ZTE Germany page.
@ko_wei13 is it compatible to update from ZTE A2017G V1.0.0B11 to V1.2.0B10 ? if I download it from the german website can I set any language after update?
@RobboW on which website can I find / download right package of the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM compatible with my build version?

Yes, minimum requirement to update to Nougat is V1.0.0B11. So you can download the file and place it under the root directory of your phone storage and the system update will automatically detect it.
For language, there is no issue for you to change it as the ROM is for global, not limit to German.
I flashed it on my G. Had a couple of glitches but mostly ok. They say you should do a major update after a factory reset. I didn't but the glitches were minor and it seems to be working ok now.
thanks worked great !
@yann360,
Hi,
Yeah, you can set most language in your phone. You can upgrade your phone via SD card.
Thanks!
