Hi i brought the tab from the following seller on e bay, its been delivered but I'm away in Thailand until Sunday so couldn't check myself. But can anyone answer this.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300570883052&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Will i have any problems putting the UK stock on it? Or are the EU and US WIFI only tabs the same model number? hoping i haven't shot myself in the foot by ordering it through ebay.
Sorry if this has been asked / is a stupid question.
Thanks
The auction never mentioned P7510, but from the specification, it is 8.6mm, it has to be the P7510, which you can load any ROM on it.
I bought the 32GB US model from ebay and i've loaded the Euro Touchwiz ROM featured on here with no problems but went back to the Stock US ROM it came with. I have used both CWM recovery and ODIN3 methods and they work well. I found the Touchwiz ROM a bit buggy and slow but I heard that version was a BETA version so i'm waiting for the US release of the upgrade next week, hopefully it will be better.
It's released here in the UK next week so it might come with a version catered more for this region.
Hi, I'm about to buy me new S3 and I found 2 models being sold in Amazon but I'm not sure the differences between them. Does anyone can tell me the differences between these two GT-I9300RWDDBT and GT-I9300RWDBTU?
Thanks!
i think thats just software versions, as long as it says GT-I9300 you know that its a Galaxy S3, the other codes at the end prob represent firmware versions, even if you get a phone with old firmware version though, just update it Click thanks if helped
Since we are all guessing here, I'd rather believe that this code has little to do with software and more to do with hardware, like the intended market (US or EU power adapter plug) or the type of radio (if there is more than one, but since it's not LTE then probably not). No need for Thanks.
Its the sale code of the phone. DTB is for Germany, the other one, idk? Seems to be UK sale code.
So choose the right phone for your country
If u google the DBTU model it looks like its CDMA
Hi,
in one month I will be in the USA for my vacations and I would like to see if buying a S3 (and the nexus tablet, in case it comes out by then) there would be cheaper.
the thing is I live in Italy and I would like to know if:
A) an unbranded version of the phone is already available there/will be by then
B) if it is, if there are any differences in the version of the phone and if i will encounter any issues using it in Italy (maybe also considering warranty?)
thanks in advance for your attention ,
Nicola
Hi All,
I am hoping someone knows the answer to this. I am in Australia and still waiting on the Note 2 4.4 F/W release whilst most other counties got it months ago.
Does anyone know are Samsung firmwares for different countries all developed from the same place with the same dev team etc or is each region responsible for pushing out the firmwares for the devices in their region with their own dev teams etc?
I ask because my carrier has been advising since July it was coming since August and since then each month they post a new update saying sorry delayed again new ETA..
The thing is, this behavior is not limited to Kit Kat, this device only nor is it only limited to carrier branded firmwares too...
As an example the same thing happened with 4.3 was released elsewhere and months later we got with the initial released scheduled for early December with it being delayed and finally dropping in February. Furthermore other Galaxy flagship models suffer the same fate with the Aussie F/W always being delayed. And now let me mention the fact that my friend has a Galaxy Note 10.1 tab N8010 which is wifi only and unbranded so is only dependent on Samsung making the F/W available directly and it is still waiting for 4.4
I wanted to state that because Samsung are trying to pull the wool over my eyes with their replies to email questioning the delays in Aus telling me it's the carriers fault for the delay and that in fact the carriers have the F/W already and just don't want to release it. I know that is BS because the Australian unbranded non carrier reliant 4.4 has not already been released yet and before Samsung can give the carrier their firmware thy have to develop the unbranded version first and then make a version based off this with the carrier bloatware etc..
Anyway I am curious to know where these F/W are developed because if Australia has to hire their own dev teams and push out the F/W releases for Aus devices then it makes sense why we are so delayed clearly the Aus dev team is crap! But if all the F/W worldwide are developed from the same place then I don't know why AUS F/W are so delayed.
For the record I am already on the Nordic 4.4 months ago because of this constant issue but that's beside the point I would much prefer to have my own carrier version loaded up with the carrier modems etc esp since I want to sell it soon so I want to sell it loaded with the correct stock F/W
Thanks!
Hi there guys..
I just saw an offer on GB for the Honor 9 at € 281, which is indeed a great price. It's the International version, they say but there's something weird.. I read here on xda a few people that ordered the International version (don't know where) that should be AL00 but received Asian version, L29.. He had to flash the international rom. It's not that I fear flashing something but I wouldn't like to buy a thing and receive another one..
Anyway, just in case, flashing the International firmware does stop receiving updates, somehow? Until the firmware is stock, unrooted and bootloader untouched it shouldn't be an issue, I guess..
More important: I read that both versions have the same identical hardware so it's natural to think that the LTE 800 MHz is missing from International version, isn't it? Otherwise what's the difference about? Just a firmware? Still it would be weird because if I recall correctly Honor 8 eu version had it (but I maybe be wrong).
Last but not least, from your personal experience, is it a good device to buy for that price? I' not so sure and I would like to wait for something new but the offer is really good considering the original price..
Mmmm it's weird btw.. I just checked on AliExpress for prices comparison and I found a device with Internetional Honor 9 but the codes to pick from are AL00, AL10 or TL01.. so neither one is Internetional version (yeah I could flash as we said)
EDIT: this is the link https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_649021.html at normal price, there's a code for discount (if you need tell me via PM I could share, even if there are only 30 so don't know how much they'll be available). From the latter screenshots in the page it seems it should be STF something, could it be? What's that?
The only color available is the pure black, maybe gray is better as overall looking, isn't it?
EDIT2: I see you have it, STF from your signature

As I know all models are Chines, I can be wrong but I saw just L09C300/C900. Thid is code for international rom C300/C900 and this AL00... are Chines models so probably if this models have C300... firmwares yes, can be international

sorry mate I edit my post.. so basically from the link I posted above, the screenshot says STF-L09C432B100 so it should be basically as the one you have.. was your device International when you bought it?

I fear this is the International version signature, the European one (where LTE B20 is used if poor 4G signal) is FRD-L09 or L16 (32GB and 64GB).. I'm really tempted but I'm not sure now
EDIT info here (post 4 and so on) https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/model-stf-l09-t3636884/page3 and here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/frd-l19-europe-version-64gb-buy-t3458943
This i my case. I live in France, last month I ordered a Honor 9 black on the website priceminister with good offert, saved around 130€ vs buying here. The seller is from China, so I thought this phone is Chinese version, I prepared myself that I will do "rebrand". I received the phone yesterday. It is written AL00 version on the box, but when I started, surprisingly there is already all Google services, and in the settings, it is L09...version, and it received an update to ...130 immediately after. So, I thought the seller did "rebrand" the phone before. I'm happy with it. Only one minus thing, the charger plug is asian type, not european type, I need an adapter

That's the same case with me. Though I don't live in Europe and honor 9 is not officially available but there are grey importers that bring in the phone from China and rebrand it. Luckily the seller did provide an adapter.
Problem is not the model strictly but the fact that only European models have band 20 (800 MHz) for LTE.. (so FRD-etc) ?
