Hi All,
I have read through the rooting guides on the Zenfone 2 and I keep wondering if the USA version of the phone will still root the same as the TW, CN versions etc.
Thank you,
process should be the same, the files might differ a bit though.
USA = WW version
What's the different SKU firmwares? I'm assuming JP is Japan, CN is China?, WW is World Wide version and there's a CUCC, not sure what that one is.
The question is, I have the WW firmware right now can I ONLY upgrade using the WW firmware from Asus site? I ask because WW is still at .97 and there's already been two firmware up (.102) and wondering why Asus is taking their sweet time this round for WW updates.
Isn't there more to the ww firmwares?
There's a way to change SKU version in the all-in-one thread. To change it from WW to CN you need a CN fastboot and recovery image (droidboot.img and recovery.img) instead of WW ones provided in that thread. There are many of these in Chinese forums, or you can just extract it yourself.

Hi!
I have purchased a Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL (SD820 version) from Italy, unfortunately it has branding by TIM (Italian Telecom) and thus a TIM SKU.
Can someone tell me the steps I must follow to change the software (incl SKU) to WW?
Does the Bootloader Unlock tool work on all SKU versions?
I heard someone found a way to install WW software, but unfortunately they didn't reply to questions on issues others ran into and I don't want to risk bricking the phone.
Thanks in advance
You have to unbrand your phone. The bootloader unlock tool works only with WW SKU, but i'm not sure. Try it
Check this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-deluxe/help/help-flash-stock-7-0nougat-via-stock-t3588591
There is also a thread in an italian forum, "androidworld"
After unbrand, you have to replace the recovery with the WW SKU one and then you wil be able to update with downloadable firmwares on the asus website

Mine is LG G7+ G710EAW from HongKong. In the box it has a paper written about region lock that takes 30 minute local call to unlock. I don't live in HongKong, so I assumed the shop I bought did all this for me.
I want to flash a new firmware to another region and perhaps re-flash back to the original one. Will region lock come back (or even worse, the new firmware has it too)?
I tried it myself today. The answer is no. It will not come back.
Did you experience the region lock limitation or just saw a notice about it?

Can you share or point to how to flash a firmware from another region? Thanks

My G7+ was region locked to China, Hongkong, and Macau area. It had been unlocked properly by calling using a regional sim card, Now I don't live in the country of purchase anymore (Hongkong).
I was afraid if there should be something that would trigger the region lock again. However, after hard resetting and flashing another firmware, seems that region lock once unlocked properly will be unlocked forever regardless of whatever you do with the phone.

When cross region, just use the same model number (mine is G710EAW ), whichever region is OK. Hongkong firmware on my G7+ does not support VoLTE and LTE-U in my country so I flash Indonesia firmware to enable them.
You can find all G7/G7+ firmwares on all variants on the internet easily, just use LGUP, .dll file for your device, and USB driver to flash the firmware you want.
Thx for your information.
Even if there was a chance that it is not permanently region-unlocked, you could always just order the unlock code from one of the many online unlocking services...they basically just get the unlock code for you from the manufacturer. Then you could just keep the code handy, in case you ever needed it...
I paid like $14.00 for the unlock code for my black UK/EU Region LG G7 (G710EM) when the U.K. seller that I bought it from mistakenly shipped it to me in the U.S. without first making the local region 30-minute phone call...but it was cool being the first one to actually unseal the box, and it took less than a day for the online unlocking service to send me the code after I ordered it.
I just bought another one from the same UK seller (in platinum grey), and this time I actually requested that they send it to me still sealed (and still region locked)...I will just order the unlock code like the last time. All good!
Good luck, in any case!
Cheers,

Similar to the thread, I'm using LM-G710N which is the korean variant. I guess the store did unlock for me so if I flash other region or international fw, will I be able to take advantage of these variants' dual sim ? Since my dad has a korean samsung s8 single sim which now converted to use it with dual sim.

Hi everyone,
I bought a S20+ 5G from USA but I live in France.
The firmware is : SM-G986U so my SIM card is not compatible on the network.
I think that the France firmware looks like SM-985F.
Is there a way to change the version of the phone to put it in France ?
Thanks for your help,
Mike
No way. its impossible
