Hello friends, I tell you that I just bought two weeks ago this beautiful ZTE AXON 7 and they sent me the A2017 version that is not compatible with the 4G LTE networks of my country (Peru) ... I have seen that the A2017G version if it is And why I wanted to know if I installed the A2017G firmware then my phone could already work with the 4G LTE networks of my country ??? Or am I totally wrong? I look forward to your help, thank you!
You are totally wrong. Your modem doesn't pick up the bands. You can change the firmware but not the bands you pick up. That is hardware not software

Umm, the EU model does have capacitive buttons. Not sure where you've got your info from
I'd recommend the US version of the phone purely because of the support from ZTE to that market. The additional features on the 6GB china version like force touch doesn't justify the trouble you may face from a software perspective. Go with the US version if you can.
My bad
checked amazon germany it has Capacitive button
Thanks for your suggestion
but us model doesnt support b40 lte band
this is the only thing backing be from buying this model
else this thread wouldnt have appeared
in 2017G ,stock rom of 2017u can be flashed?
I suppose you can flash the ROMs interchangeably but I've read that some had some functionalities missing . You can follow @DrakenFX ROM thread which has all the info you need. Considering the EU variant doesn't have an unlocked boot loader yet, flashing ROMs isn't the straightforward solution, let alone flashing a ROM not meant for that variant.
On a side note, the EU one albiet costly, has a 3 year warranty. Of course you and me, cant avail that anyway.
The US is suppose to get the 6GB model in the 4th quarter I think.
Are A2017(Chinese) , A2017U(US) and A2017G(Global) three different device model numbers (hardware wise)?
OR
Are they three different firmware numbers that can be flashed on same hardware device?
They are different devices for different regions
And with the locked bootloader they aren't able to be flashed to different region.
Each have different bands for phone too...

Thank you for the quick response.
So I presume the A2017G global firmware cannot be flashed on c Hines model A2017.
I am planning to buy the chinese model A2017 for use in Singapore. I Have verified that it does support the LTE network bands used by Singapore telcos. The seller on aliexpress confirmed that it will work in singapore and has English language and all Google apps
Would that be a wise thing to do or should I buy the global device model A2017G?
Would you happen to know out of A2017 and A2017G, which model has better
Dev support on xda? (From the perspective of rooting, unlocking, AOSP Roms etc)

Both.
Hardware-wise, the three models are banded differently, and support different cellular connections. For example, the US and China models have CDMA support, while the Global model is not banded for CDMA. The three models have differing LTE bands as well (US model tailored to LTE bands used in North America, Global model tailored to bands used in Europe/Asia, etc).
Software-wise, they're pretty similar, but there are some differences. For example, the Global model has lowered audio output (compared to US model) potentially due to EU regulations. On the flip-side, the Global model has a special menu option for "Glove Mode", to make the phone easier to use when you're wearing gloves, which is omitted from the US model. The US model has an included theme called "Stock Android", which is missing from the China and Global models. The China model does not come with Google Play services by default, because China.
Support-wise, ZTE USA has a community forum that employees participate in to answer questions and whatnot, as does ZTE China. ZTE Europe, however, does not seem to, and can only be contacted via phone/email.
Someone here on XDA was able to flash the Global model's ROM on a US model, but had to specifically flash the US model's modem in order to get cellular working. However, it might have been because the US model can be bootloader unlocked, so the US model can be flashed with other ROMs. The Global and China models don't have official bootloader unlock yet (I'm not entirely sure if the unofficial method posted here on XDA works on the Global and China models)
Thank you for the detailed response. Much appreciated.
Does anyone has any pictures with that stock Android theme?

Search for Axon 7 reviews on Youtube. Any review that shows a white Android app drawer icon in the middle of the nav bar is a US unit using the Stock Android theme.
Damn I'd love that stock interface. Now I'm running Pixel Launcher.

From Zte.
Hello, I would like to know which country's ZTE support may provide me with info about Axon 7 Global version. Living in Europe, there is no live chat with support in my country, as well as phone version on market is different than I have. Contacting ZTE in USA leads to missunderstandings, because of their support thinking I have a ,,chinese" version of the phone. However, Chine version is different than global, so should I contact China? In phone info, the official forum of the phone's users is set to chinese domain.
What do You think about it? Thanks for any response.
What version You have? A2017G? If yes then ZTE germany
As far as I know, there are 3 versions of the Axon 7:
A2017 (Chinese Version)
A2017U (US / North American Version)
A2017G (Global / European Version)
Only A2017G has LTE band 20 which is very important here in Europe.
Unfortunately the more powerful hardware with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash is only available in China.
Of course I can buy the phone from aliexpress or similar website in Chinese Version. But is there a way to flash a A2017G ROM (including modem) to the A2017 version and get a fully functional European version including full LTE bands but now with more powerful hardware?
i would also like to know. i have the A2017 bought from aliexpress, and i live in Japan. I need to upgrade to the A2017G modem, as my reception has gone to **** since the B15 update. Marshmellow firmware had much better reception. Its that or wait until the next flashable firmware update.
Good luck to us both
I would also like to know too! But after searching on xda and other sites. I don't think this is do-able. T_T
I started to try the qcn method but it does not work for me unless someone can share the original qcn file of axon7 A2017G or A2017G
In my case I need to activate band 8.
My axon is Chinese only has FDD LTE band 1,3,7
Hey there, I updated my phone from A2017 (cn) to A2017(US) But when I upgraded it I lost my carrier service and my IMEI, after too much hassling I got my IMEI back but I can´t get my signal back.
OS: Stock Nougat
Model: A2017 ported to US
