I have the Huawei Mate 10 Pro Chinese Version BLA-AL00. Specs sheet says that the phone supports CDMA 800Mhz. I have a CDMA network in my home country operating at the same frequency and I couldn't get it to work. It's not locked on any network in China. But it only works with GSM in my country. Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this issue?

How does rebranding work? Can I then rebrand to the original firmware?
And why l29c636?
Besides, this is a firmware for the Mate9? Wouldn't it cause any problems applying it to Mate10?

CMDA only works on China Telecom -- no other carriers supported for CDMA due to licensing issues apparently.

Is there a way to unlock it to work on other CDMA carriers?

Not that I know of. It's probably possible if you're rooted and you dig around and find the files which only allow CDMA to be enabled on China Telecom, but it might be illegal to do it, as most countries only allow Qualcomm CDMA.

Hi, despite the availability of the International 4g version of the X1 [7d-501L] in italy, that has all the LTE bands that I need, I bought the chinese 4g variant [7D-503L] in order to receive more and quicker updates.
Now, AFAIK the two versions are indentical in hardware, could a developer extract a modem from the international version and make it a flashable zip that we can put on our chinese 4g variants?
This way we could have the chinese 4g version with all the latest ROMs, but still enjoy FDD-LTE in Europe and rest of the world.
Sorry but it is not correct. The international version has a modem with only fdd frequencies, while the chinese version has fdd AND tdd. So, different modem.
You can search this area and you will find at least two others who have tried to do this, unsuccessfully!
I meant that the chinese version has a ton of TDD bands and only 2 FDD bands. Yes the modem is different, but I believe the difference is in software, not in actual hardware.
Hello you can flash 501l firmware on 503l device without any issue, for me. But I think hardware are not the same, 800mhz fdd LTE band is not present on 503l.

I don't need that. I bought 503L to have all the latest rom, it wouldn't make sense to flash an older firmware. Yes 800 mhz is not present on 503L but I *strongly* suspect that it is disabled by software.
I really think that 501L and 503L are the same, the only thing being that Huawei enables certain bands on one, and other bands on the other one.
Yes I understand and it would be great. But when I flash 501l, I should have 501l modem? Maybe it is a hardware switch?

I agree with you that hardware wise, all the different variations of the X1 are identical. Difference is software/firmware based. The difference is located in a partition that is usually not flashed by a ROM update. I successfully did this with my AT&T Samsung Note 2 and unlocked TMo AWS bands with the help of XDA instructions.
To assist you, I came across this website/blog that has instructions on how to unlock FDD bands on 503L. I have not tried it; I live in the US, even unlocking the FDD bands, I will not get LTE (main US LTE Bands are 2,4,17)

Tried it on my 503L but nothing new...
:-/ Is there any developer who can help in this forum??
There is one blog claiming it works, but you two can't get it to work..........
Maybe it is not possible.
Maybe the modems are different after all.
Dear all,
good afternoon.
I'm here to know if someone knows if it's possible to use my smartphone with band 7 LTE (2600) FDD. As far as I know this version only supports band 3 LTE (1800) but the European version has support for it. Right?
Do you know if putting the European ROM can solve this? Or there is a hardware limitation of the Chinese version?
Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
Take care,
Rui
2600MHz is supported by EU Honor7. It is conditioned by structure therefore you can't just replace the system of Chinese model with EU and have it.
I got the dual sim chinese Honor 7 and it supports FDD 1800-2100 .
I don't know why i can use 4g since my carrier uses 800-2600...

Which carrier? Available information shows that almost all providers cover 2600MHz LTE. Exception is Nextel, which runs on 1800MHz, which is supported by Chinese H7. And there is absolutely no information on LTE 800MHz in Brasil.

Then this is a totally new information. If you have the Chinese Honor 7 and LTE on SFR, it should indeed support either 800 or 2600MHz.
It's not recognizable from any known specifications though. And having been in Austria I can definitely confirm that my phone doesn't work on LTE 2600.

Mine doesn't work at 2600 FDD LTE either. Unfortunately I'm using Oi's carrier in Brazil without 1800 FDD LTE support. Yet....
Does anyone know how to add or enable FDD-LTE band 4 (1700MHz). I already tried with MTK Engineer app but this and other bands are disabled and cannot be activated.
Thanks in advance

I second your motion, but AWS will be hard to unlock, as the US version of the phone supporting AWS is not shipping yet. Maybe when is out you could crossflash the phone to get support, or mod the modem ROM/baseband or something, but before that I don't think is possible.
Yes. I guess so. When is the shipment of the US version expected to start?

It's impossible to flash new frequency ranges on any modem. Frequencies are purely Hardware based. The p9000 does not support USA LTE frequencies. (1700/2100 band 4). Although the website says the B version (US version) has been "coming soon" for months now.

Went to the shop to buy a Huawei Mate 20 Pro intending to use it in Asia (Taiwan) most of the time and got warned by the kind sales lady that their models (lya-l29) explicitly state that they are for European sim only.
AFAIK with my limited knowledge and experience that only USA bands are different from the rest of the world, and if it works in the European market it should work fine in various Asian countries as well.
Can anyone confirm this to reassure my doubts?

Phone comes unlocked, and locks to carriers IF on a contract. Many people have gone L29 dual sim and it works with ANY GSM carrier. As long as paid in full

Unless network-locked by a carrier, it should be fine so long as your network's bands are supported by the device.
I would suggest checking what bands your carrier uses and comparing.
You can check the bands on FrequencyCheck, as well as other places.

Hi,
I would like to buy this device which has become unavailable in Europe. So I should get an unlocked US version (AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile), I just have no idea what LTE bands they have, nor how it works for updates for these variants.
Thanks to anyone who wants to help this noob

Check out this link:. https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=6216
I would imagine your would get updates on the schedule of the service provider that it originally was sold from. Updates from providers are usually behind factory unlocked versions. I would see if I could find one that was an international unlocked version.

THX!
The version most similar to the international version is the Canadian, precisely Lmv600tm2x (from what I understand)

It doesn't look like LG released an international model of the phone. I found a few on eBay that started they were unlocked and would work internationally though.

Yes, in fact he did not release them, unfortunately. They are all connected to some telephone operator ... However, the Canadian model has almost all global bands, which (it seems) the US models do not have.
