Hello,
i just think to buy this amazing phone also, but it is possible to unlock the rest of the LTE bands. The Chinese version Z00ADB comes only with FDD-LTE 1 a 3 band enabled. But the WW version has almost all eurpoean bands enabled.
Thanx for answer.
I cannot get the AT&T FDD-LTE working with my CN ZF2 that I already correctly updated with WW version. Apparently, these are country locked in the bootloader and just changing the ROM will not allow the use of the WW FDD-LTE bands to work.
If I am incorrect, please show and explain how to get the WW or US FDD-LTE bands working from your converted CN ZF2.

Go to Settings --> About --> System Update --> Build Number will have the SKU in it. For example, mine was WW-Asus_Z00A... so it is WW.

But how can enable LTE?? only appears 4G?

Mine also says 4G but the connection is LTE. Use a different app from the Play Store to confirm.

That would be an OTA.
That's the 550 OTA for 40.12 to 40.13. You may want to recheck your version.

Most likely you have CN sku model with broken WW firmware sideloaded to it.
Use this guide to resolve the issue. It will not wipe your apps or settings, but I recommend doing factory reset after you complete the guide.

Just check the auto update in settings, the last firmware for 551ML ends with no. 139, something like .40.139 if i'm correct

darn, you might want to check if your phone is a world wide version? or is it specifically made for some countries?
one solution: try checking the asus apps on Google and make sure they're uptoday.
another solution: flash the update yourself through recovery, I have no idea about this method because I don't want to root my phone :fingers-crossed:
best luck to you bro
problem solved
I follow the steps un the post on the reply of DiGecko, i really want to say thankyou for you support.
My cellphone comes. With a ww firmware and rrecovery vversion, I don't know what ccauses the issue, but I manually update via adb.
I have problems with the recovery version in the post, the icons and status bar increase their size,but I iinstall the Z008 version instead the Z00A, and now is nI pproblem. I have a ltitle issue with some aops crashing sometimes, but all work fine. Thank you an guys
Hello guys, i was using bln al10 b172 china firmware. So i decide to change to bll l22 b150, i finally figure out how
the instructions are
1- install "firmware finder" app, search it in google play (by team mt), when installed go to settings of the app (3 dots on the up right app) and enable, installation via system update, a Window appears saying to install huawei firmware finder proxy, press "download addon", and install the apk.
still in settings finally enable "use new firmware base" and "view ota updates".
2- then go to the downloaded addon and open it and follow the instructions...enable wifi proxy...localhost and port 8080...
3- close both apps
4-open firmware finder and find the honor 6x variant ROM you want
i searched BLL-L22 and applied b150 FULL, always apply fullOTA, press the update you want and then " send firmware to updater" (if "download" appears, go to settings and enable those 3 settings i said in the first step) , the firmware finder proxy auto opens, go to settings phone and check updates in default update application Remember keeping those 2 apps opened when you check updates in the huawei update app
5- the selected full ota update appear, download it, in the changelog it says "it will not erase data" BUT IT WILL! so backup first
6- the phone restarts, like a normal update and proceed normal with updating process. I get no errors during flashing
and thats all!, debranding done!
remember having stock recovery and erecovery from huawei!
im pretty sure this will work for any honor 6x variant you have, not only china rom.
Great...thanks buddy.
Few questions-
Does your variant have VOLTE working?
How about the EMUI 5.0 beta for this new version?
Mate, did you get chance to check above or missed anyway.
Once debrandd, arw you facing any issue?
Volte working?
Any other thing or precautions before someone else proceed for the same method?
Hello.
Thanks for the guide but quick question.
Do you have to be rooted or not ?

OK... although I am not sure that I did right, but is tested this.
I have the same version as you, BLN-AL10
I tried with the same BLL-L22C636B150 firmware.
Apparently everything went well, but now my phone says it is a hi6250, BLL-C900B150
Is that OK? How will I know that all my hardware works?
This is a good guide, finally we can get rid of those Chinese bloatwares from the beginning..

Is normal. System is updated perfectly, you can do a factory reset if you want. That not accurate info happens to mostly all firmware finder zips. Hi6250 is the Hisilicon processor the honor 6x (al variants) have. That info is easily edited in the build.prop, is just plain text. You edit and that's all.

Thank you for this info, but... to edit build.prop i need to root the phone, right?
If I root it, I will lose the warranty. furthermore, to root it, I need custom recovery, for that I need the bootloader unlock code.
I cannot get the bootloader unlock code because I get the error message that phone was not used for more than 14 days ...

I can live with the wrong info in about phone... But if you can't you can try unlock the bootloader with DCunlocker and pay 4 eur to get instantly bootloader unlock code.

Hi Tott
Yes it really is this simple, I'll share the latest link for 4.13 below.
Be warned: The download speed is very slow today as this is a brand new release and everyone is downloading at once.
http://rom.download.nubia.com/Europe/NX659J/V413/NX659J-update.zip
Also, no, bootloader does NOT have to be unlocked.

Hi Sir Sam,
Is there any special technique for me to successfully flash Global ROM in my RM5G CN ROM? Tried this version as well but I'm stuck in 25% and an error message keeps popping up saying that the installation was aborted (something like that). Is there any setting I have to turn on or off for this to work?
I'm currently on CNCommon_v6.23
TIA

The reason its failing is because you have a later version of the rom already.
6.23 is more up to date than 4.13
If you wish to change to a lower rom you would need to flash via the recovery menu.
If it still fails, you can use the fastboot bypass method to install TWRP and flash from there instead.
If you use the bypass method you dont unlock you bootloader. And flashing the official rom via twrp will overwrite twrp after a successful flash. Making it stock once more.
