AL-20 vs TL-20 "China Mobile" - Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am about to buy Huawei Nova, directly from China, and I've found that many sellers offer "AL-20" and "TL-20" versions, where the second has the "China Mobile" printed on the back of the phone. Is it truly the only difference? Sellers say they both have CAN-L12 firmware.

Can you provide the link? Is it through Aliexpress? I'm pretty sure that apart from the logo there's another difference, and most probably it's a frequency band. TL version might offer you the B7 band (4G) , whilst AL not - instead it has B5 incorporated - which is not used at all in some countries.
Also, you should check the duplex, Tdd or Fdd. I believe that Fdd is a more European standard, at least here in Spain it is.
Additionally, TL is also a bit more expensive.
But please, share the link first, to be sure that it's that.
Cheers

Can't give link (new user).
The seller says there's no other difference than the logo.

Msg it to me or tell me here the name of the web without url.
For example, here you can see the difference :
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Glo...3.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.270.4FIEoI
That seller is not telling you all the truth...

This is the wrong forum as al20 and tl20 are Nova 2 models. To answer, the tl model is specifically for China Mobile whereas the al model is for all three major China carriers (China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom). AL has more radio bands than TL.

Same issue

OnePlus One 16GB in Stock for $399 at Oppomart?

http://www.oppomart.com/oppo-phones/oneplus-one.html This website says it has the 16GB OPO in stock for $399. Obv it has a $100 markup on it compared to the price direct from OnePlus. Has anyone bought from this website before? Are they legit?
All the fanboys on oneplus forums are saying it's fake/scam/etc but I don't necessarily trust their opinions. It may be fake/scam, I'm in no way endorsing it, I just want to find out more about it.

Looks pretty sketchy to me. First of all, it doesn't make sense that 1+ would allow a 3rd party site to sell phones that even it hasn't started to. Also, the site is littered with poor English and misspellings (i.e. OnePlus One is Oneplus one, and just check out their "blog").
Just wait a while longer, and we'll get the phone legit.

Yeah that doesn't look legit...rather wait for the official sale from Oneplus.

They aren't allowing it, in fact any mention of oppomart on their forums is removed/thread closed. The phone was made for sale to the general public in China, so maybe it's some wholesaler/exporter who got a lot of them? Who knows.

you will only be able to buy the One from our website.

They've said repeatedly that they are trying to avoid reselling and grey market devices, but both are inevitable.
Cant you just buy one tomorrow from opo's chinese website tomorrow? They even say free shipping if you pay all online. Does that mean free international or is it restricted to china.
someone get this so we can find out :laugh:
This shop is real , or not ?
No DHL ?...
For now, this shop is offline, at least for me...

most likely legit, not uncommon for chinese startup companies to sell their phones for more at 3rd party sites due to 2 possiblities: reseller or the company itself. Xiaomi has been doing it since it started selling 3 years ago

CM11 on chinese variant
I have installed CM11 and it works well, no issue just not sure about updates. My problem is ATT uses wcdma 850/1900 and this phone is 850/1800, meaning spotty mobile data, If I had to do this over again I would never bought from OPPOMART as it is false advertising. I e-mailed them and they are unwilling to return the product as I thought. Buyer beware.

Are you in a contract? Can you switch to t mobile and pick up more bands?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I've been looking at the available bands on this device. You'll be in trouble if you use this anywhere in the US. Check it out:
Cell. Frequencies
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 2100 / 1900 / 850 / 900
TD-LTE:2570-2620 / 1880-1920 / 2300-2400
FDD-LTE: Bands: 2100 / 1800 / 2600
But has anyone looked at Flosmall?
These guys have about 10 screenshots of CM11 full unboxing everything.

My apologies for the multiple threads. If the moderators see the other one, please delete it.
i spent part of tonight emailing back and forth with Huawei's customer support. You would have to scroll through the public emails I posted and their public responses.

But with all those LTE frequencies, doesn't it kind of have to be compatible? AT&T uses band 2, 4 and 17 so this phone should work on AT&T LTE since it supports band 4.

Don't waste your time ask Huawei service team.. They doesnt know the phone much than you.
There is 2GB+16GB ROM version FDD-LTE band: B1/B3 1800MHz/2100MHz
3GB RAM+32GB ROM version FDD-LTE band: B1/B3/B7 1800MHz/2100MHz/2600MHz
T-Mobile FDD-LTE: 1700/2100 ?
There are only B1/B3/B7 now because the MIIT(Ministry of Industry and Information Technology,Chinese Telecom manage department) limited.
You will enjoy more bands after un-limited-- Need 2-3 months since Chinese FDD-LTE marketing develop slowly.
Yes, Need flash NEW ROM un-limited then.

If the T-mobile LTE band is 2100MHz, works no problem.
You will unlock the band after NEW ROM released out.

THIS is why it makes sense to wait. The device is very expensive. rather than plunk down that kind of money for something that "may" work with US carriers, wouldn't it make sense to just wait and see what else is released?

Just because it was working doesn't mean he got full LTE speed. As far as my research took me Band 4 (AWS) of T-Mobile uses a 2100 MHz range downlink and 1700 MHz range uplink.
Specs on the Huawei site lists a whole slew of bands, including band 4. It is strange though that sellers on Alibaba and emails from oppomart.com state to the contrary. I just asked oppomart about this and pointed them to the Huawei spec page, and they said then it should support band 4...

This is a contract model and it works with the China Mobile's Sim card ONLY (or, stays at GSM only using other Sim). There is no way to unlocked the code, and of course, it does not work in NA. Unfortunate to hear.

I thought in one of your other threads you (getmobilephone) mentioned there might eventually be a rom unlocking the LTE for NA is that not the case??? I assume this is only a baseband software lock. Or is there actually a different modem chip?

Dear LuckyPunk
For obvious reasons, It is difficult to answer this question. However, let's give you one example here:
LG G3 offers several different models in China market, four models now and three more soon (using Qualcomm 805 instead of 801).
Among them, there are two models featuring Dual-Sim, one is China Mobile version aka D858 (TDD only), one is International version aka D857 (FDD & TDD). D858 is supposed that can only be compatible with China Mobile's TDD-LTE bands; however, by flashing D857'S ROM, D858 can use both FDD and TDD networks.
Two facts from here:
1. Flashing ROM unlocks the additional LTE bands.
2. D858 can support China Mobile and China Unicom's Sim by flashing ROM; however, it does not work with foreign SIM.
Contract-Free version makes things easier. We predict the Chinese and International versions of MT7-TL10 share the identical hardware. Flashing the international ROM very likely will enable the necessary LTE bands to work in NA.
Just an additional note here, the system RAM actually available for use is around 1.6 GB after the system starts, for 3/32 GB version. Think about this fact before you pull the trigger for 2/16 GB version.
Let us know if you have additional questions.

Well I was interested but thanks to getmobilephone for letting me know this phone will not work in the UK as it's not unlocked and locked in a Chinese contract. Unless that's not the case and it's unlocked and I can use it in the UK on any sim then I would be interested.

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.

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 already buy at amazon.fr, can't you?
they've been selling it since last week. and they already discounted by 20euro in white version yesterday. (looks like it's back to normal price though)
You can buy it EUR 455.70 at amazon.fr now. price dropping so fast. nobody's buying it?
I bought mine on amazon.fr but I have not yet received

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

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.

I had lg g3 which fustrated the hell out of him, even though it had 3gb ram the thing was awful.

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!

Where did you buy it? On aliex there are two "global" phones. One is "global rom" version which does not have B20 support (it is actually a chinese version with global rom pre-installed by the seller), and the other is "global version" of the phone which supports B20.
Search on the forum, there were attempts of unlocking B20.
I buy it on Amazon
Check on the box to see if it supports B20

Because a someone write in comment that he hasn't b20, but this after that i buy it.
On Amazon they just write global.... it Comes from Germany...
It comes tomorow to my Home, and i really hope that i have this b20, otherwise i'm f****d
In case of that i don't have this b20, is there a way to unlock it?
So you don't even have the phone yet and you are complaining about it not having B20.... smh. Nice one :good::silly:

Sorry your question ist very silly...
Global Version has band 20. In Germany band 20 is the Most used on. If you bought it from Amazon Germany you have band 20. If Not you can send it Back.
An No, its not unlockable. Maybe we can Help you to unlock your VW Polo to Porsche gt?!
A question is always silly when you know the answer. I didn't know that band 20 is the most used in Germany, like in France!
And why do you talk about polo and Porsche ? I didn't ask to boost the phone performances. If i want a "Porsche", than i just buy one! I know that i didn't buy one.
You can lock or delete this post if you want
Same situation here. I bought a Xiaomi Redmi note 7 pro, and it doesn't have the B20 band. My fault.
Some hope I can solve it with a software-based solution (e.g. installing an app, or flashing a custom ROM without a Windows PC) or it is really an hardware based problem ?
