I want to buy an Xperia Z2 from eBay where the price is a bit low compared to the real price. But unfortunately, the seller told me he don't know the exact model of the phone. But he did tell me that currrently he has only 3G only models available. So which model is it?
My main question is, most of the ROMs and kernels seems to support D6502/3 only. What if I get another model? Will I be able to flash the ROM/kernel to that device?
Are there any other model of the phone available? Should I worry about the dev. support of the model? Are all the versions root-able (or bootloader unlockable)?
Yes/no
Most of the time patches exist for diffrent varients because of compatability issues
Hence my rom is an example, its for d6503 but has a patch for D6502 thta can be flashed

So that means I'll land in trouble if I get some other variant of the phone. Thanks a lot for the information.

Yep
You can flash a FTF for that varient or install a patch if your running a stock basdd custom rom
Cm12 and stuff like that already does it

I didn't get you. You mean to say that any ROM/kernel can be flashed on an variant with the help of a patch? But does every variant has its own patch for every ROM / kernel? But you mentioned earlier that your ROM has patch for only the D6502 variant right?
Sorry for my noobness. Please adhere.
The seller also mentioned that some parts in the software will be in Chinese.

My rom has a patch for D6502 varient
The only difference between D6503 and D6502 is system/etc/firmware
So if you flash a D6503 rom copy a that folder from a D6502 rom and all thats not working should work again, e.g wifi and mobile data

Okay I got that. But what if I get a D6543 or something other than those two models?
Thank you for taking time to reply my queries.

There isnt much info about D6543 , LT50, LT50h and LT50u

Hi there guys, just wanted to know how do I get google services and play store on my Samsung Galaxy A9 pro? As for the A9000 it had a hong kong version too aside from the Chinese version which had a different firmware that one could flash and get the Google apps, but with the A9100 (Galaxy A9 pro) there is no other firmware other than Chinese. I have seen people talking about them having the play store installed and working somehow and also have seen a chinese video on YouTube showing the play store installed and working. So my question is can anyone tell me specifically for this mobile. I know I have to put the files manually in my system and change permissions but that somehow didn't work as I dont know which version of playstore to install and what else should be installed along with the play store apk to make it work for eg googe framework and play services.
The other Chinese phones (non-samsung) have a simple way to get play store back for eg Xiaomi devices. My phone is rooted so if anyone can hop in and help I'd really appreciate it
Just download a micro package of gapps (google for it,its easy to find) and place all files from the pack in the right folders of your system with right permissions,look in installer script for the right permissions.done.
Install a GAPPS package with Flashfire.
will installing the latest apk for Play Services and Play Store work in these scenarios?
Please go to the forum "support a9 request" There is a guide to install playstore on the A9 pro..

Is there any advantage of getting the A9 Pro outside of China? I'm based in China, right next to Hong Kong.
A9 Pro is possible to get from Taobao for a nice ~2888 RMB ($430 in today's USD).
Not sure if A9 Pro is available in HK as I've read that the international version of A9 Pro has been launched on July 2nd or so. The only A9 Pro I've been able to find on HK price check (price.com.hk) is around $480 USD, so $50 more. And I can get the one in China with 2 clicks.

Samsung released the firmware for A9 Pro for the markets that have international model of the device. You can install that firmware on Chinese A9 Pro. It comes with all the Google apps. I suggest to check Sammobile.

I don't think that firmware from the international versions i.e A910f will work on A9100, and btw this thread is old I already have all the needed gapps installed and working
But would still love to somehow have that firmware on my phone.

I personally tried it 3 days ago and it didn't work. Soft bricked my phone.
The forum link you posted was for a different mobile as u said, but if you notice they are talking about different firmwares for the 'same model number'

I bought mine from another guy who happened to bring it from China two months ago. Everything is working like a charm as it should. 99% it is english but there are some stock apps where u may see some chinese but overall its totally english. The only prominent thing in chinese language that you'll see is going to be during booting up and thats it (not a biggie right) . Nothing to worry about. If you get yours and need any help in anything, feel free to hit me up

specifically for the plus in my case. I've been monitoring some Chinese devs, but haven't seen any focus on the p10 and plus quite yet. I imagine they would be first to work on it, but I was wondering if anyone here isn't readying release of their own. first and foremost a recovery.
I bought a china version got to install my google play. Wonder if there's a HK or Int'l version of ROM
Don't think there is an HK or international ROM available yet, but GMSInstaller will get Google on ur phone while u wait

I will use the GMSInstaller in the mean time.

This looks like the eu rom, not the global rom
I don't think there will be a global ROM, should have been released by now
I thought it was said that the global rom cannot be installed on the CN version. Am I missing anything? I'm waiting for bootloader unlock to settle for EU rom

global roms can be installed on cn devices only through 3rd party recovery and you should never relock it with global rom otherwise you will end up having a brick

dont take their word for it. the phone is being released in spain on March 14 and why doesnt the EU rom suffice for u? they update it every weekend? I personally would love if a pixel experience or something is released for this phone. Im not a fan of MIUI though its not half bad
If there's no global rom, how does global version get update?

Recently, I converted my 6t to the international version of the device. Will my device support Android 10? I've read about issues with Play Store certification. Will I need to still wait until T-Mobile accepts A10 and then install it from them?
I thought this was the whole point of switching to the international version, to not have to wait for T-Mobile.
I have upgraded my TMobile OP6T a while ago and I'm using A10 and have zero issues.
I'm using the official 10.3.1 not any custom ROMs. Also using Magisk 20.3, latest TWRP and Omega kernel... Everything is fast and smooth.

A10 will work with your TMO converted device. The one issue is Play Store is Not certified, so Android Pay will not work. This is because TMO has not approved A10 as of yet.

If you root with magisk, and use safteypatch module g-pay works fine. Been using it since 10 was released on converted t-mo
