I just got my phone, when I opened it I noticed that the first language option that was given to me was spanish (or maybe portugese not really sure) anyway, that got me curious, did my phone come originally from south america or somewhere in the iberian peninsula?
I was sure about this when I opened the browser and saw this locked bookmark from samsung that is in spanish.
anyway, is there anyway to know where my phone originally came from or was manufactured for? and is there any way to change this?
Thank you.
You can search the baseband info on sammobile.com
I found that my ebay purchased unit was bound for Trinidad/Tobago.
Thanks!
Mine is for Colombia (COO)

I'd like to know as well - I'd like to install the latest firmware (I9500XXUAMDM I believe?) from another country as my country (S. Africa) is currently on I9500XXUAMDE

Yes you can guys
flash via ODIN. Download firmware from samfirmware
Surely flashing a different firmware cant change the origin of the phone?
Be careful, your warranty may not be valid if the phones from a different country >. <

Are the firmwares for the tablets in subject interchangeable? the NU is the North American version and I'm wondering if I could flash a European version of the T330 to support mode languages. I want to add that sammobile has the firmwares listed under different codes.
Anybody knows if it is possible to flash an LTE firmware on the WIFI version of the same tablet? Thanks

I dont know, but I highly advise not install LTE on WiFi only tab, since there are hardware differences and you most likely will brick your tab

Hi,
do you've already got any further information on this? For I have the same problem: in the US we purchased a tab for my mom, but she isn't doing too well with the english UI (though she already got used to it - it's still android, after all ).
Anyway: there's also a WiFi-Version (SM-T330NZWADBT) of this tablet. Is there anywhere a firmware available for download for this particular model? And: is the firmware interchangeable in this case, as it's wifi-to-wifi straight?
Regards,

So can I install firmware from sm-t230 on sm-t230NU cause I want Polish language. or it's hidden and hidden languages are achievable with morelocale2?
"Locale More" did the job for me, all it requires is to run one adb command and it works well without root.

Okay so upon further investigation I came to learn that the phone I purchased is an unlocked unbranded MT7-L09 from Colombia. I have reverted back to the original firmware, which is B120SP04a. My question is there anyone else here with a Mate 7 from Latin America? If so, have you been able to successfully update to the official Lollipop? If so, what firmware were you on and what region did you install Lollipop from?
Any help and advice is GREATLY appreciated!
TIA
P.S. To determine what region my device was from I did the following:
1. In dialer, dial *#*#2846579#*#*
2. Go to ProjectMenu
3. Go to Network Setting
4. Go to Operator and country info
Mine shows Operator Name as hw and Country Name as nla
According to a guide I saw on CarbonTesla these are some of the other regions:
hw/spcseas – Malaysia
unicomelectric/cn – China
hw/meafnaf – Pakistan
mts/by – Belarus
I live in Central America and I upgraded succesfuly using the guides you find here. Used the official EU firmware and works great.

I live in the U.S., but the phone I purchased is from Northern Latin America. Perhaps the phone you have is European. I have tried all the versions available here and none of them work properly. I have installed both the versions from Malaysia and the one from Europe, each has some type of problem when installed or lack functionality. This is because in fact my phone is not from any of those regions. I saw a guide on how to change the Region for the Huawei Honor 4C, but I cannot find anything for the Mate 7, plus it seems a bit risky to change the region.
I saw a video on youtube of a guy in Peru who successfully updated to Lollipop, but the guy is charging and I'm not willing to pay for something I can do myself. I just need a version of Lollipop that has been released for that Region.
Well, sadly, there is no official lollipop release for LA. MT7-L09 is simply an international version and should work on most regions. I flash this rom:
"MT7-L09_Firmware_C900B324_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3".
And upgraded from "Jazz-L09 V100R001C00B137". According to the manual, you can directly upgrade from other KK versions.

Is knuckle snapshot working for you? And did you factory reset before or after updating? Do you still have 5x5 icons available? Can you possibly post the links to the firmwares you used?
Lollipop link
kitkat b137 link
knuckle gestures work... 5x5 work... Only thing missing is being able to change DPI down to 400 which I got used to, working with 420 now.
Ohhhh.... And I did a factory reset after upgrading.
On my phone is showing this:
Operator name:hw
Country name:eu
What it means? I'm still with B137, no OTA for my phone.
Thanks in advance.

@ronnie72... That means that you have the European version. So you can just download the link posted by @Zolocofxp to upgrade to Lollipop. You may also need to download the update_cust.app which is linked here
Hope you get it working. It took me a while to finally get everything up and running properly, but the link above should point you in the right direction.
@Bonnie1977, thanks! I know now to upgrade with "Local update". But why OTA still unavailable??? Strange ....

@ronnie72... I have no idea why no OTA. I live in the U.S., so for me I'll never receive any OTA updates. I just download them from Huawei's site and do the local update.

Operator name: Claro

Doesn't seem like it's updatable at this point in time.
Reached out to ZTE: No updates available. If there were to be it would be through bell/Virgin as it's specific build/firmware/model.
Reached out to Virgin, bell and PC mobile as well. If something interesting comes from it I will surely post.

I don't think this version has NFC. There is no mention of it anywhere.
https://www.ztedevices.ca/axon-cat/axon7mini.html
USA version does mention it.
https://www.zteusa.com/axon7mini/
I got the Axon 7 mini from PC Mobile as well. Looks like the Canadian mini is a variant P852A15H, without NFC.
Any idea how to get rid of the carrier name at the top right? SytemUI tuner doesn't seem to activate either.
The mini is really sleek and light! Haven't had the battery issues mentioned in reviews either. Wish we could update to N though.
For what it's worth, there may be some activity behind the scenes for a minor update to the Canadian Axon 7 Mini late this month.
If this individual is to be believed, it will be bug fixes and security patches ONLY. That is, it will NOT be an upgrade to Nougat; we'll still be stuck on Marshmallow. But at least we'd end up with a security patch newer than late-2016.

Confirmed. 105.67 MB download, the device stays on Marshmallow. It brings the device from the November 1, 2016 security patch to February 5, 2018.
This is the first OTA ever released for the Canadian variant. It would include fixes for some pretty high-profile vulnerabilities, such as Blueborne, Krack, and Spectre, so it's definitely welcome.

The Canada-specific version of the Axon 7 Mini was not sold on the open market, but rather was sold as a bundle through one of Bell Canada's affiliates. (I am aware of it being sold through Virgin Mobile and PC Mobile.) As such, it is running a customized OS that was approved by Bell Canada. The Bell Canada-specific OS has always been visually distinct from the version of the OS that shipped on open-market versions of the Axon 7 Mini; in my opinion it appears quite a bit more similar to the vanilla Android experience, with the exception of the preinstalled Bell account management apps.
Unfortunately, because the phone was bundled through Bell Canada, that means that ZTE will also be obliged to get Bell Canada's approval of any OS updates that may be offered for the phone. We've already seen, with the patch that was released earlier this year, that the OS update path being approved by Bell Canada is following a very different track from what ZTE has been offering on the open market, and I don't expect to see that change any time soon.
And it really doen't matter if ZTE's engineering department is technically capable of offering Nougat or newer for this device. They'd still have to get it cleared by Bell Canada first before they could distribute it.

You're right, zb601kl is indian version. look at the screenshot, it is of flipkart india
As of today only 3gb/32gb variant is being pre order here in the philippines, and according to Asus it will be A version.
My Philippine friends never got a good answer from Asus if it were version A or B. It seems that Memoxpress, the AsusPH FB/Twitter pages, and the Asus stores near them didn't know jack.
What we do know is that a person who bought the 3GB model got A, and a person who got the pre+ordered 4GB model also got A.
