Mate 7 for European countries

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 buy it EUR 455.70 at amazon.fr now. price dropping so fast. nobody's buying it?

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!

Is this the Global or Chinese version?

I think Global? It comes with CM11S based on their spec info.

yes it's a CM11S firmware not the ColourOS

It'll be the Chinese version but with CM11S flashed on it. You can only buy the international version directly from OnePlus.

i think it's the china variant, even the unit i got was flashed with CM11s out of the box, same with some of my friends that have gotten the china variant

Coming from "somewhere in Malaysia" you might be the best info source.

LOL, as the china variant is compatible with all the telco in malaysia, and the OP doesn't directly ship here, i think 90% of the OPO sold here are the china variant.

Yup. Positive its a china version. Btw did anyone using the china ver manage to get lte in malaysia?

As read on lowyat.net forum, some guy claims that they could get working LTE on celcom and digi. I've tried on umobile at subang which has LTE coverage but still no luck. Tried with multiple radio. Still no luck

My LTE works fine on DiGI
have you replaced your sim card? to a LTE sim?

Great deal, but unfortunately shipping only on Malaysia no international shipping.

brought mine from DirectD SS15 (RM1318 64GB), the box already opened. Most likely it came with ColourOS and they flashed it with CM11S.

mine is china version and LTE was working fine with Maxis. Turn off anyway since 3G is enough for me so far.

LTE works,both on my maxis and my celcom. Try around other custom ROM. PA,Omni,.. Still get LTE..

All the OPO you can find in Malaysia are the Chinese variant. I can confirm that. The "open box" is because they open it and flashed CM11S onto it. However, good news for all Malaysians looking to buy the OPO is that all LTE bands currently available from the local Telcos are working, including the newer ones like DiGi, where the LTE band used is B7 (2600)

Differences between chinese and international

hi to all, i see flosmall and others start to sell chinese version of opo2, what are the differences? i know os is different, but i can install oxygen os to chinese one? there are others hw differences? thanks

Last year I ordered opo from china.You can unlock bootloader & flash oxygen os.All you have to confirm the bands match with the bands available in your country
Sent from my SM-N910G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

You can flash roms, but need to make sure the Bands are supported where you live. For the oneplus one people were able to unlock other bands. Maybe someone can unlock the bands on the Chinese version.

Chinese version is spied by chinese government. International is not.

It is dual sim, but apparently only has a single IMEI number, so can not be used with 2 sims outside China. Dual sim phones are pretty standard in China, they wouldn't remove such a key feature for that market.
The difference is the bands, especially 4G, and the OS. You can definitely flash OxygenOS as I have already done it. As for the bands, only time will tell.

The Chinese version is dual sim but only has 1 IMEI number hence outside China only one sim will work.
Can experts find a way to get over the same I know IMEI numbers are unique but there would be a way around it I am sure

The Chinese version will have very limited 4G compatibility in Europe and North America. More importantly, it only has one IMEI meaning you will not have dual-SIM capability outside of China. If you like having dual SIMs, do not buy the Chinese version.
So International version has 2 imei and dual sim support ?

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...

"CN version" Available on ebay. Will it work in the US?

As stated the P10 plus is available on ebay, I am just wondering if I should wait or if the CN version would work on US cellular carriers? thanks!

You should look at the LTE Bands supported, compare it to the ones used by your US provider and make up your own opinion, no?

Actually no, because over the years of buying unlocked phones I have found that ebay listings tend to lack these facts or are not trustworthy, especially when they are written overseas. I will not drop >$800 on a phone until I know for sure. I posted here since I figured some may already have experience with the handset. Thank you

Then you should wait. If ebay listings are the only source you can find for technical information on the p10 plus then don't risk your money.

Even if bands work you could end up with a Chinese model like what I got when I ordered a P9 Plus and didn't pay attention to model numbers. It wasn't a big deal, just took some time to get Google play installed. And some apps and settings not in English

I have a mate 9 china version and it works in Canada on Telus and Rogers network. Just FYI.
A spec list from huawei Chinese website for P10 Plus:
LTE FDD:Band1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/12/17/18/19/20/26
TD-LTE: Band38/39/40/41（100M）
UMTS(WCDMA)/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA:Band1/2/4/5/6/8/19
TD-SCDMA:Band34/39 （移动主频段）
CDMA（主副卡二选一）:BC0( 800MHz)；(仅限中国电信（中国大陆+澳门）)
GSM/EDGE:850/900/1800/1900MHz

Awesome, I was crossing my fingers since I'm on T-Mobile as well.
Edit: Got my phone and went over to the T-Mobile store. Full coverage as soon as they put the nano sim in!
