Just wondering if it's possible to flash a different ROM variant on the Honor 7x. I have a US variant (BND-L24) and it's bricked. There is no stock rom for it as yet so want to try either the BND-L22 / BND-AL10. Will this work?
I have the same doubt

It won't support the network bands in your Region but I think other software features might work . I'm not sure though
I would just wait it out. Honor US customer service says mid-March release for firmware, so it should be dropping any day now.

Hi guys, i just switched my note 10.1 2014 edition with tab s t807
As usual immediately rooted my tab and try to flash a custom rom.
But now i have a problem,
samsung sends 3g tablets with a different serial number to turkey (where i live) than other countries, like my note tab was P602 when the other 3g notes was P605. But i was able to flash P605 custom roms to my tab.
Now i flashed a kitkat based t805 custom rom to my t807 but when i try to upgrade to lollipop i cannot flash T805 roms, altough t805 lollipop bootlader does not work too.
Now the question is do i have to wait to get a lollipop update to my t807 (which can take real long time) or is there a way to flash t805 lollipop rom.
Thanks for the answers...
You need the lollipop bootloader. Without it it's pointless to flash Any lollipop roms.
Ok i know i need lollipop bootloader but there is a question, international 3g version is called t805 but mine in Turkey is called T807, every spec is same but t805 bootloader does not work both on odin and twrp,
Should i wait for t807 bootloader or am i missing something

Unfortunately some of the carrier versions need a specific boot loader. So unless you try all the different t807 lollipop builds, you might get lucky, if not you may just have to wait.
Is your device rootable?

Hi,
SM-T807 is the 3G version while SM-T805 is the LTE version (or so called 4G. It is simply not an international 3G as you've mentioned). So their hardware is different. Both CPU / GPU and WAN modules are different and firmware is not interchangeable. As far as I know Samsung did not release Lollipop for T807 (3G). I doubt that the'll be releasing a Lollipop version anytime soon.
Cheers,
K.

Not sure where you are getting your information, but the hardware specs of the Exynos t807 are the same as the t805. The t807 is the carrier or region locked version. There are stock lollipop roms available for the t807. There may be slight differences in the modem hardware depending on region, but both can support LTE .
There is a snapdragon version which is what I think you are referring to, but again this can also support LTE and Lollipop is also available.

Hi, You're mostly right. They are both capable of using LTE DATA. This week I laid my hands over a T807 and unlike most marketing sites quote it has LTE functionality just as T805. But it seems that T805 also works as a GSM phone. T807 allows data only GSM access. So the difference is not about carrier locking. I am not sure if there's a hardware difference between the two at this point. But other treads on this site say T805 boot partion won't work for T807. So there should be some difference. Earlier Samsung tablets with GSM data only configurations could be upgraded to the GSM phone functionality. I've also come across with some news sites reporting that some carrier locked versions of T807 started to get the Lollipop update. I hope the regional ones would get this update soon.

I'd be willing to bet one of the recent custom roms will flash and work on your device as long as you flash the correct bootloader.

Of course it will work but the thing is i cannot find the RIGHT bootloader for my t807.
On kitkat i use t805 iron rom but i need exact bootloader to upgrade any custom lollipop rom.
I will be more than glad to anyone who can find the right bootloader.
What do you mean the bootloader doesn't work, does it even install?

Thats the problem
No luck with this issue.... anyone ???
People happy new year.
Can you guys tell me whats the diference between t807 regular and t807p/t....
I don't have my phone rooted and I'd like to upgrade it to 5.0.0 lollipop. I see Samsung only put out the update to other countries and not the US, how nice of them.
Would I even notice a difference using it or would putting the Aussie version of lollipop on my US t-mobile phone be a no no?
Thank you
You cannot flash an Australian stock LP ROM to the USA T-Mobile phone via Odin.
There is a T-MOBILE Australian lollipop upgrade on Samsungs website for the m919. For verification, It won't work on my m919? Would u mind to help me understand why?
Thank you
The bootloader in the rom will be compared to the hardware being flashed. If it's a match, it will flash but not necessarily function properly.
If the Australian m919 is the same as the hardware as the USA variant, it will probably flash but I don't know if it will work n properly.
Ok thank you for the explanation
Why don't you install Lineage which will put you into >7.0

Unrooted Exynos model. Updated via OTA to BRE5 and now VoLte isn't working anymore. I'm on MetroPCS/T-Mobile. It was working fine on the last version.
Anyone experience the same thing?
Are you on G960F model?

Exynos is the international S9, chances are the CSC (Which controls features such as VoLTE) is wrong for your region if you are using a US carrier, not sure why it would have been working previously though as the firmware for Exynos does not include any US regions in the first place
Either flash back to the previous working version, or try flashing just the CSC from that firmware, or test a few other firmwares for that model S9
I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie
There is no pie for nash xt1789-04 (att) but there is pie released for other z2 force. Will it break my phone if I flash pie stock over ATT stock rom? If so, can I have a link to the pie rom?
There's no stock 9.0 for any model. GSIs and custom ROMs are available, but an unlocked bootloader is required for either route. Users of the ATT & VZ models must wait for Moto to rollout Pie officially.
If you're interested in those things I'd strongly recommend selling your ATT Z2.

Oh, I thought pie was out because on gsmarena it says it's upgradeable. I guess it's wrong.
But when this does come out, for let's say, Sprint, is it possible for me to flash a sprint rom to my ATT MZ2F?

Moto released their update rollout. Among the phones slated to receive Pie you'll find the Z2 and Z2 Play.
Sure, you can try to flash the official build on your Z when it's out. Just keep in mind that the phone will probably lose LTE, and possibly other functions.
Ok thank you for answering

Normally, yes you can flash from a different model (i.e. Sprint FW on TMO model), with the exception of the AT&T/Verizon variants, which are bootloader locked, and you cannot flash anything (not even official firmware) on them.

That's wrong because I was able to flash android 8.0 att over 7.1.1 because it wouldn't let me update normally. I'm pretty sure you can flash images with the same stock signature, but I'm asking if it's possible to flash stock firmware from another model on to att phone with bootloader locked

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I meant official firmware of a different model.
I ordered a Korean S20 ultra (988N), but live in the US. Has anyone flashed the US firmware on a bootloader unlocked SD variant of the phone (ie 988U1 firmware on a 988N or 9880)? If so, did you have to change the CSC to XAA before or after you flashed the firmware?

I don't have an answer to your question but will the non-US phone work in the US like on Verizon system as is?
It should work fine on LTE. The main Verizon bands are 2, 4, 5, 13, all of which are supported in all s20 variants. I don't think you'll get 5g on any US carriers, so if that's important, better to pick up a US spec phone, and pay to unlock the bootloader.

I tested the phone (G988N) on both Verizon on TMobile. I was able to get 5G on both carriers. So I can confirm that all features (except possibly WiFi calling on Tmobile), work.
So using the KOO firmware in the US works perfectly fine. No reason to try to flash XAA.

I wish you had tried lol I'm tempted to flash the U1 firmware on my Korean S22 Ultra but I'm looking for more info before going for it. Still no luck.
