Moved Country -M4 Aqua apps + 4G Problem - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hey,
I bought the 06 model in Canada. I've moved home to Europe.
Now all apps are priced in dollars, not Euro. I also just found out that various apps don't even appear in the store but they do on everyone else's phone. Some apps also say region not supported so they won't even allow me to download.
I flashed an 03 generic FTF. Everything worked except 4G. I didn't even get 3G. I used exactly the settings the network advises. No luck. So I flashed the custom firmware ftf of the new European network, same problem. Next I flashed the original Canadian network custom firmware and 4G works perfectly, no settings needed, the network installs the right settings immediately. I checked them, they're the same I inserted before.
How to solve this? Ideally I'd like to use generic European firmware, have 4G and see local apps.
P.s. My phone is network unlocked, and I noticed a tremendous speed difference with 4G back, it's not just a symbol issue.
Thanks

The "H" your seeing stands for HSDPA...which is actually better than 3G. As for the browsing problems, after you flashed the 2.1 generic and started your phone up for the first time did you properly add the rogers APN settings or did you choose automatic internet settings?
I flash my X10a with the nordic 2.1 firmare and I also get the "H" and I added my rogers apn settings manually and my phone is absolutly perfect. No problems at all.
If you need the proper rogers apn settings to use you can pm me.
I upgraded to 1.6 Generic UK to then get the 2.1 upgrade last week as could not wait for Orange...
Yesterday, Orange came out with 2.1 and so wanted to get the new Orange update that just came out, so I followed the debranding method from xperia.net but instead of using generic UK db files, I used my old ones I did a back up of! Took me about 6 attempts but finally got the timing right and hey presto, old 1.6 Orange was back.. and then it told me I had a new update waiting..

H = 3.5G = faster than 3G. In 1.6, there was H, but no icon to differentiate.
Video:
Same question, very important for me! X10a, Rogers, branded, locked, un-rooted (yes, I'm just a simple user, not a crime a believe ) -- upgraded via seus to 2.1 rogers. Too many bugs for me to keep it, so jsut wanna go back to 1.6 rogers if possible! Is there a step by step instruction to use in this particular case? Thanks!

Official gb is not out yet

EDIT: After doing a thourgh examination of the pkg it may contain a serious bug that could potentially cause a super-brick. Until I can confirm that it's safe to use DO NOT install it.
As with all updates not on the official server they're not released because they're not fully tested. This is NOT the first time a pkg was released that had serious bugs, do not install.
Do you know what frequencies are used in that model? I know that Dell sells an unlocked models for AT&T and T-Mobile. Does the Olleh model match one of those or are the frequencies different? Does it matter?
I should get my Venue (AT&T version) on Monday. It will be interesting to see what ROM is on it.
It shouldnt matter, nor do I know what submodel is sold in korea anyway
Can I use it on my device?
My build no was 13040.
If this is not build version then how to find my build version.
Indian version, network independent I mean i can use any sim.

If you bought unlocked AT&T version then probably 325, if locked AT&T then 321.

After you flash the right recovery it will work with your SIM - but you will have to switch from Korean to English, and most likely there are no other languages besides those two (I installed Olleh GB ROM on my Dell Streak yesterday and can attest to that). But certain things may not work like USSD codes (if you need to check your data, minute balance with your provider via SMS type service) and so on. I would suggest waiting to see if Dell would have an unlocked retail version out that will support all languages and will not be carrier specific.
Hi guys, need your help. I have a Dell Venue Olleh 2.2.2 Android. I turn wi-fi status bar freezes, hangs up the phone, too. restarts itself. Lost network. Turn off the wi-wi, reboot the phone and everything is normal. Reset all did. It did not help. I apologize for my bad English, I write a transleyt.
When the wi-fi It is on, sometimes (if you pull down the status bar often) Flies system error and he reloaded. If the status bar does not touch, you can enter the market to upload something. Still slower than usual by 50%
Getting anxious in anticipation of the GB ROM. Hope Dell can release it soon.

[Q] Firmware version, modems, etc (301u/302u)

I got myself a MediaPad S7-302u on Tesco Thailand yesterday, and the first thing I did was to update the firmware to the International ICS available on the website. New firmware is great, all is working, I might change to a "modded/tweaked" version here from XDA like I do on my Galaxy S2, former Galaxy S, gf's Galaxy 5, etc...
Little problem... apparently the version on the website is for MediaPad S7-301u. Only difference between them seems to be frequency of the 3G networks. The tablet is working beautifully, GPS, mobile data, etc, EXCEPT for 3G, in the network I use, AIS/1-2-Call. I don't have a big problem in using Edge, I do the same with my S2, to save battery, and I don't care about the reduced speed (Edge here works well, I get usually close to the 384kbps max speed), but I'd like to have the option to, eventually, one day... go to 3G. The problem is that I can't seem to find ANY firmware versions for the 302u!
Any idea where those are hiding? Tks!

Thank you supun, but unfortunately it hasn't changed anything here. Still only on Edge, and no sign of 302u file on Huawei website.

Interesting. The 303U is the T-Mobile Springboard which is what I have.
I have two SIM cards in Canada with different 3G-only carriers, and a 303U Springboard unlocked from T-Mobile. One carrier uses AWS 3G (same as T-Mobile) and the tablet sees the network but cannot connect to it at all. The other carrier uses 850/1900 3G and the 303U supports 1900 but not 3G, so it does get connectivity with occasional dropouts.
I was never able to connect to the AWS network before the upgrade but I didn't try very hard. After the ICS upgrade I have still been unable to get on the AWS network and I tried in-store with a SIM from another AWS network too, to no avail.
From before the upgrade, I did capture an update.zip that seems to contain modem files for the T-Mobile Springboard, but the last time I tried to flash modem files directly I lost my IMEI and SIM unlock until I did a full reinstall of ICS.
Not sure either about 302U firmwares.
I just read on development forum a 302u ICS firmware has just been released. I might try that one later, it's just quite annoying to lose everything on every flash, specially on stock ROMs, with no root.

You can add root to any ROM. Download the CWM-based recovery from here (note it does NOT do backups properly so you can't rely on that):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23601045&postcount=7
And also place the SuperSU zip from here on the root of your external SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Flash CWM in fastboot as described, to both recovery and recovery2, and then you may have to try a few times to get into recovery. From a totally off state, hold down the volume "UP" key (which is the one pointing AWAY from the power button) and hold down power until it vibrates. Let go of power and hold on to the volume key. Then in CWM you can find the SuperSU zip on SD and flash it. Now you're rooted and you can take a Titanium Backup.
BUT if you ever want to do an official upgrade now, you will need to revert to a stock recovery. Take the recovery.img from any ICS firmware package and flash that in fastboot to recovery and recovery2. Or if you are every currently on an HC ROM you need to use an HC recovery.
Something else to try... worst case scenario is you'll have to wipe anyway. Download the Huawei firmware zip, extract the dload directory, and then open the update.zip. Delete the userdata.img.ext4 from that zip. Put the modified dload directory on external SD and proceed as usual. If it installs correctly it should (I hope?) leave your data partition alone.
According to member cmstlist below are the different between huawei official releases.
302u is an 850/1900/2100 version
301u is 900/2100. T-Mobile Springboard is 303u
AWS/1900/2100. AT&T's is 312u.
I thinks because of using wrong FW updates some times experienced 3G/HSPA issue.
Should I ?

Can I quickly hijack this thread.
I have the 7A-301U. (Orange Tahiti UK) that came with ICS (Andy4). Works perfectly BUT abruptly stops ringing after one second on attempting to reach any 3G Signal Provider. (correct Orange EE sim inserted) . Similarly, if I attempt the simple task of dialing for my own IMEI ..... #06# Question: Should I re-Firmware from the Huawei site.
Ciao,ringrazie salute.
There's a new Mediapad s7 302 firmware on Huawei site (Dec 13). It says network function and official release version. It's still ICS.
312u = 302 ?

P20 Lite Single to Dual sim conversion

So I'm using the Huawei P20 Lite with build number ANE-LX1 8.0.0.147(C185) single sim on MTN South Africa.
Here is so many threads on how to change to Dual sim, but it's so confusing with all the different Countries and Different firmware. Being a Noob, but knowing how to flash and do basics, I would like to know in plain Noob language, which firmware I can use to make my phone a dual sim. I have read so many threads on different ways to do things with different firmware, and it is really confusing.
So the main Question here is, which Firmware can I use in South Africa for Dual Sim?
TIA
I also have a MTN Phone and I managed to flash bot the C185 version which is for Africa and the Euro one which is C432.
However for the life of me the second sim doesn't work, have tried numerous times now. I am also unable to flash it back to a single sim version too, which is annoying as each time I make a call a pop-up comes up saying I am using sim 1. which would be fine if Sim 2 actually worked. I also lost 5ghz wifi for some reason, so only 2,4 working now. So for now I would say stick it out with the single sim version or buy a dual sim from takealot.
you looking for this post.
You need to unlock bootloader with DC-unlocker , Huawei doesnt give the codes any longer.

Thanx. Just a quick question... You mention DC-unlocker but it doesn't support the P20 Lite, any suggestions?
yes it works with p20 lite.
just follow the steps via the program to find your phone.
you have to however pay to get the bootloader unlock code. I cant remember how much but its a couple of Buffalo's.

Also backup your OEM information first before you flash anything.
you will need this at a later stage.
Also when you have that info please could you send me a copy as I lost mine and need that information

Question SM-T225 with US T Mobile

Hello
I got this tablet SM-T225 and used it with T Mobile in the US, but the data stops working a lot. some times it shows 4G on the notification but no internet, other times it shows "E" in place of "4G" and very very slow internet or no internet. I tried moving to different location but the same problem, some times work and other times doesn't while the phone and my other tablets work normally. the WIFI works without a problem.
the tablet had CSC CHO and the service provider software version showing OWO CHO
the tablet is rooted and bootloader unlocked.
my questions
is it a tablet problem or this model doesn't work reliably in the us?
or it needs to be flashed with different firmware?
thanks

Seem bootloader ok , firmware ok, try to clean flash with stock.
But now where are you? Chile or US. If live in us why not installed US firmware Region.?
I am in the US and this model is not used in the states by any provider, no firmware for it in US as far as I know https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T225
I flashed it before with stock firmware (CHO) after I flashed it with magisk patched boot loader but same problem, I will give it another try now. at first when I flashed it with magisk I used in the in the CSC slot HOME_CSC_OWO_ but later I used CSC_OWO_ if that matters.
unfortunately after flashing stock firmware https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T225/CHO/T225XXU1BVGB same problem.
I have this tablet in the USA on att post paid with a "phone" based sim. It can txt via the native mssgs app or Google messages. It won't make phone calls via the native app. Voip calls over Google voice will work.
Also tmobile sells this tablet as a the sm-t227 and it works fully ont their network

Can't used sm-t225 with your provider. Sorry
I am aware that the 227 is used by T Mobile, but I read a comment on XDA that the Bootloader of 227 used in the US is not unlockable and I went with the 225 to be able to unlock the bootloader
I am returning.
I appear to have basically the same issue. I cqn send texts but mobile data just does not register. I have model T227u that was sold through Fido in canada. I hqve a 12 gb data plan and everything works fine on a phone. (I also have a note 9 that is starting to crap out.)
It is running android 13 and is rooted with magisk 26.1 patched boot img
solution for this issue is to just Flash one of the SM-T225 official firmwares for T-Mobile Europe. (I switched it to using the Poland (T-Mobile) - TPL version. T225XXS2CWA6

Now, that IS interesting, particularly if that conclusion applies to every "unlocked" version of T225 sold in the Western Hemisphere. Mine was sold by Amazon's on line from store, specifically advertised to work as phone etc. Been trying to solve by GSI, twrp root for a while. Getting an "involuntary" refund from Amazon so it's worth trying.
