Hey guys,
I'm thinking about selling my HD2 to an American friend of mine. It's the EU version and I was wondering if it will also work in the U.S. It's not all CDMA over there, isn't it? And what price would you suggest? It's in a really good condition and I was thinking about $200.
He would get me a American Galaxy Nexus (which is now being sold for 400$ directly from Google), which should work over here, I guess?
Thanks guys!

We have gsm as well, but it depends on specifications of the hardware, some phones don't like T-Mobile frequency bands.

So he would be tied to certain carriers? And how do I find out if/how it will work?
Hello everyone
I have a question about lte band of Chinese version
On Huawei website, we can see that the mate 7 support FDD LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28. Todays, we can find the Chinese version for sell "limited" to bands 1,3,7.
But what I don't understand if the Chinese version got all band if you use it in another country or does it need a firmware mod to activate the other bands?
I need band 3,7 and 20... Can I buy a Chinese one or not? (2gig/16 would be good)
Thanks
This has been answer in our Q&A thread. Please take a look at recent discussion on this topic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/wait-compatible-ascend-mate-7-buy-t2899404
Forum member from Switzerland has reported that the Chinese TL10 works flawlessly and we will hear more news from EU user next week.:fingers-crossed:
And we highly recommend 3 GB RAM, or the premium version. You will notice significant difference when opening multiple APPS.
We will post a root instruction for xda community early next week so that it will be a more fun machine to have.

Hello!
I just came back from a trip to China. Bought my Mate 7 in Shanghai. Its the MT7-UL00 Version.
At the shop they told me it should work in Switzerland. They even installed the Play Store for me (good service).
At the Stop Over in Dubai I had no LTE. So I was a little worried. Now in Switzerland it looks like I have same LTE coverage like I had bevor with my LG G3.
Hope this helps you.

MT7-TL10 Chinese -> European
I just got af Gold Mate 7 (3 bg/32 rom) from China - MT7-TL10.
Its a Chinese version, with Chines text i a few palces (even i chosed Denmark for language) but its also without google or anything - and im living in Europe.
So my question is, how do I get the international version af the software on this phone so I can use it like a normal phone here in Europe?
I would be really thankfull for any help and guidance regarding this issue.
Thank you!
Yep i dreaming of my futur AM7 but for no problem at all like the guaranty, i prefer wait till the european version launch officially. i'm so disappointed the gold version will not sold in europe, oh well the grey/black model will be fine too ^^
the official launch in france will be soon around 12 of november.

You can already buy at amazon.fr, can't you?

You can buy it EUR 455.70 at amazon.fr now. price dropping so fast. nobody's buying it?
I bought mine on amazon.fr but I have not yet received

I bought the Gold TL10 version from ebay and had the international rom flashed on it. Works fine although i only get 3g hspa with tmobile (which is still pretty fast).
I want to unlock the 4g lte though like the TL09 versions so i cud see how fast the cat6 realli is. Regardless though, this phone is pretty fast to even be in 3g mode.
Can you buy the 3gb ram version from amazon fr?
Also how does warranty work on amazon fr? I live in the uk.
Thanks

It's amazon so warranty usually good if you buy from them. 3gb ram 2gb of ram wont matter much with the Chipset they are using. Feel confident that 2gb will be enough after all the video tests I have seen on YouTube. The 3gb is only the Chinese model which I would not purchase. Get the European model much safer bet.

Hey, I have my MT7 brought over from China. I am using it in the Czech Republic on Vodafone network. I can only get 2G connectivity. No 3G or LTE. in the Settings/Roaming Settings, it identifies my SIM card as "2G" only, and I cannot switch on 4G. I have a brand new nano SIM that should work with our local LTE.
My MT7 model MT7-CL00, build number MT7-CL00V100R001C92B120SP07
Any ideas?

You should inquiry before purchasing. The CL00 version, aka China TeleCom version, only recognizes their specific SIM, otherwise, locked at GSM only. Choose a reputable seller in the future.

Yeah I got this as a little gimmick to play with., but it certainly is a disappointment.
Do you think the CL00 version can be loaded with TL10 firmware? I can see CL00 and TL10 differ dramatically in the network and data connectivity support, and TL10 is what I need.

No. There is no way to unlock the SIM and flashing TL10 ROM will not work either. In addition, CL00 uses an additional chip for CDMA2000, which consumes more batteries (only 2/3 of battery life vs. other versions, stated by HUAWEI's website). If you consider TL10, we have Gold color version in stock.
We cannot help you on this version any more.
Good luck!

They are all the same version, if you are referring to the gold version there is no way maybe eBay but it will be very expensive, which in my opinion is stupid just for a color.
Even if you do obtain one somehow, warranty service might be extremely painful.

No, , Huawei has made a version for North America which support overall some less LTE bands and has some 1 or 2 specific LTE bands for USA carriers.. Whereas international version support all the available LTE bands so that you can use any sim...

I don't think that will be a problem for me... I never claimed a warranty for any of my devices till now :angel:
Usually Samsung's Snapdragon version in Hong Kong or China have unlocked Bootloader and therefore should be able to get TWRP without too much problem. (That' the case of the S7 Snapdragon for instance: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...ecovery-official-twrp-galaxy-s7-edge-t3458589 )
I own the S8+ 6Gb HK version. I haven't found anybody working on it (On Chinese forums they seem to be checking regularly... xda forums ) but the user base is decently big and given the fact it was achieved previously for the S7 I was wondering if anybody would be ready to work on it? (if not started already).
If no one with the skillset is around, we could eventually team up for a bounty thread (With an unlocked bootloader the task shouldn't be a massive job)
Any people interested?
hear hear- have the same phone, it really is much more smoother than my G955F (btw selling the G9FF for a great negotiable price PM me if anyone wants it or any DEV
etc).
would be good to know if or when it will happen

Unfortunately I have also SM-G9550 Chinese version. seems no developer shows any interest in this version to work on
the problem is most of the Chinese doesn't speak English so probably very few Chinese are here on Xda.

True but there are also a few active forums in China for the S8/S8+. The other point being some of the HK devs speak decently good English

Hey thanks a lot! Well spotted. I'll try as soon as I get back home
Thanks e can expect ROMs and custom kernels to flow in soon
For people who are using the HK versions (G9550) in the UK, what problems are you facing in the normal day-to-day running?
I've been told that VoLTE and Wifi Calling do not work when using in the UK. Is this the case? What other "problems" or limitations are there on using the HK version in UK? How about samsung pay or android pay?
I ask because I'm seriously considering buying the 128GB/6GB version.

android pay works fine, samsung pay doesnt connect to servers.
other than that works fine, software is behind the other variants .....
I also have the g9550 variant, software is really behind, does anyone have any recommendations to keep up?

I would be interested by that TWRP, have a HongKong S9550 128/6 on AT&T got LTE and Visual voicemaill to work by registering my old IMEI with AT&T but no Samsung Pay and VoLTE
this Chinese variant is by far the cheapest I can find to buy. Is anyone using this variant with no problems in the US? Are there any problems and steps you need to take to get it working in the US? I keep searching for a guide and haven't found anything
I share the same doubts.
I live in a different area but I didn't find any information about the IN2020 as well - even with the official builds.
I still don't know if I should get it or to pay extra for the global version.
How much would you be saving?

For the price's differences I can live without a warranty
It's came with "Global Rom" - they are basically opens the phone and flashing this version - that's also a bummer but I can live with it as well.
I just wanna make sure I will not be limited in the future

I'm looking for a decent guide on how to convert to the international version
Just be sure that IN2020 support your local ISP's network bands, since it has the least supported bands of all versions of OP8P, you should be good with it in the US.
I own a OP8P IN2020, I'm from Mexico and I haven't had any problem, I used to use the global Oxygen OS and now I'm on the Open beta, everything works as the global one, just make sure it has the bands you need at your country

Yea, that is the main my concern (bands) too. Does anyone know when installed global rom LTE bands remain the same or they can be extended too. I am precisely interesting in LTE B28.

From what I've researched the bands are fixed and can't be changed via flashing. Like older models.
