ROMs and TWRP same for LTE vs wifi version? - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

I have a LTE version on the way and planning on BL unlock / TWRP / xiaomi.eu beta ROM immediately - just wanted to check if all the files are the same for LTE version vs wifi?
I can't find any references to wifi vs LTE in any of the threads

Well I have WiFi version but I think it's the same recovery. Basically it's all about the screen resolution (manufacturer) and hardware Sd660. You can always try to boot recovery without installing. As I remember: fastboot boot recovery.img

Hi
I have the LTE version and everything works, I have also tried many GSI and all of them works with LTE.
So my guess is that there is only one version of "Clover" and BL unlock, TWRP and ROM are all working on both models.

[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.

[ROM][ICS] [UNOFFICIAL] Root-ready Huawei MediaPad/SpringBoard ICS International ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

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 ?

[Q] Can't connect to 3G after installing MaximusHD 10.0.0

Hi,
i own a HTC One S (16GB) device, am running a custom rom (MaximusHD 10.0.1), Android 4.2.2, Htc Sense 5.0, rooted, TWRP 2.7 recovery, HBoot 2.16, Radio 1.20.50.05.16, Carrier is Tmobile, supercid 11111111 and bootloader unlocked. i recently installed maximusHD 10.0.0 everything works fine expect for the network connectivity, i can only make use of 2G (edge) signal but i can't switch to 3G only. Whenever i switch to 3G only my networks goes off but when i switch back to 2G it works perfectly please i would be glad if you guys can help me out
You have the official Tmo version or an international version of the phone? That rom is for the international version and might not be set up to properly utlilize the bands of Tmo service 100 is the first thing that comes to mind.
Confirmed: International version of One S does not utlilize any of the bands for T-Mobile past 2G / Edge.
From HTC's website:
HSPA/WCDMA:2
Europe/Asia: 850/900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
T-Mobile HSPA/WCDMA uses a combo of the 1900 Mhz frequency and a combo 1700/2100 AWS band.
I don't know if I get you correctly but if this is what you mean my device displays either GSM OR WCDMA so that mean I have the official tmobile version
I'm confused...you don't know if your phone came from T-Mobile or not?
My HTC one s is from T-Mobile, pls can help with the situation would really appreciate it
Ok. When you installed the rom, did you also install another radio or firmware package as well? As in the one that was listed in the OP of the rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445392 ? If so, that is probably why. The rom and radio are for the international version of your phone, not the one from T-Mobile. Now, obviously the phone are so similar that the software works on both versions. The only difference is the data bands that are supported for 3g/4g and the radios that interface with those bands. So, if you have never changed your radio like it was suggested in the thread for that rom - change your rom to one based off of T-Mobile software. If you have changed the radio, then flash one for the T-mobile version, and you should be fine. If it doesn't work after that, you'll just want to make sure both the rom and radio are for the T-Mobile version.
Thanks man, I think I messed up my device and a newbies to this time installation things. I actually followed the instructions given in the maximushd Rom, I flash the firmware packages with my tmobile version device. Pls what can I do to fix this I need your help

Are you S-Off?
If so: http://d-h.st/7V7 - It's a large file with the Aroma Installer to let you pick which radio you want. I believe you'd be looking for the T-Mous 1.13 one. If you aren't S-Off - Don't bother with that.
S-On?
If so, you need to re-lock the bootloader and run the RUU (Rom Update Utility) to get everything back on track, then you can re-unlock the bootloader and redo the recovery and rom stuff. http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe

Can I flash Global Developer ROM in Indian RED MI Note 3?

dear all.
I have Indian Redmi Note 3 ( Snapdragon version, 3 gb 32GB), I am on stock MIUI Global StableVersion 7.2.5.0(LHOMIDA) . I want to flash Global Developer ROM on this .
I have a few queries
Q.1- Can I directly flash global developer ROM through Updater App without any boot loader unlocked issue or should I unlock the boot loader first?
Q.2 How can I flash Chinese ROM? The reason behind this is that Chinese version supports CDMA data facility which is missing in my global stable version at present I am using TATA cdma SIM in SIM slot 1, wherein voice call and sms works without any problem but data is not working probably because MEID is missing in global ROM ,so i guess that Chinese ROM will solve this issue. )
kindly help
warm regards
ankjain
u can flash using the mi flash tool , the updater tool may or may not help. for the updater tool u will need a recovery rom and for the mi flash tool u will require a fastboot rom.
@cletusarrarr- is it necessary to unlock it first?
Yes you can! In my opinion, you unlock bootloader and flash recovery Cottage, than, you flash ROM zip over recovery.

no it isnt to install the factory roms, it is necessary to unlock only if you want custom rom or if you want TWRP and then a proper root
So that means that I can update to global ROM using inbuilt updater app.?
Kindly clarify once again as somebody in the forum said that it is mandatory to go for bootloader unlock before update?
I don't think you should unlock bootloader or install Chinese rom I have been using reliance cdma in redmi note 3 India without any trick just use sim slot 2 for cdma
Definitely it will work just make sure remove sim from slot 1 n after putting n reboot ing with cdma sim then only put any sim in slot 1
Hope this will resolve the issue
OK guys.. Here is an update. I flashed beta developer ROM easily over stable global ROM through updater app but my CDMA data issue was not solved. CDMA data is still not working.
I am in the planning to flash Chinese ROM . let me know if I flash Chinese ROM will it show MEID number as global ROM shows zero(0) in MEID field.
I also have the same problem. I am also using Reliance CDMA and the data is not working. I am still on MIUI Global 7.2.2.0 (LHOMIDA). I have not yet updated it to 7.2.2.5 because everything is working fine and the phone is in pink of its health. I heard that 7.2.2.5 is causing some WiFi related issue. If the data is still not working then there is no point in taking the risk.
I am still searching If there is any way to start the data in Reliance CDMA.

N9 LTE Radio vs N7 LTE

I flashed the full NPF26F Google image over NRD91N on my N9 LTE (volantisg) . My current baseband version is 0.09.30.0105_0055. Can someone please confirm this is the current radio for the N9 LTE version?
Also, could someone please help explain the difference between modems in the N9 LTE tablet versus the N7 LTE tablet? For the N7 LTE (and Nexus phones), the Google image file contains a radio.img and the devices have a modem partition that can be flashed separately with this file. Using Fastboot, I've been able to change radios on several Nexus phones I've owned, as well as the N7 LTE. The N9 LTE tablet is different. It has no visible modem partition, AND the Google image file contains no radio.img.... So the question is how are the modem drivers updated? Is modem located within the bootloader partition and updated with bootloader.img? Is this just due to a manufacturer design difference between HTC and Asus? Thanks.

[ROM][STOCK] Moto X Pure/Style Chinese variant XT1570 5.1.1 LPH23.145-7_7

This is the UNMODIFIED STOCK ROM for the Chinese version of Moto X Pure/Style. Model Number XT1570.
The Chinese variant NEVER moved to Marshmallow. While this ROM is NOT the newest, it is one of later official ROM.
Since entire Google is censored by the Chinese government, this ROM does NOT come with ANY Google applications. Many of the similar function are replaced by (much inferior) Chinese equivalent.
Note that Chinese variant is different from other dual SIM variant in the following way:
1. LTE band is different. This is the only variant I am aware of which support both US/AT&T and China/China Unicom LTE band
2. Chinese variant support Baidu Navigation signal in addition to GPS and GLONASS
Additional hardware detail of Chinese variant is in my other post:

people in China tried and it was very messy. radio no longer worked property. I advice you against it.
I have flashed Lineage OS CM13. both sim card works. BUT I am not in China at the moment, and China uses a different frequency. So, I can't guarantee if it works or not.

Do it at your own risk.. there are possiblties that
1) 2nd SIM won't work
2)you will end up in bootloop
3)while flashing you might get pre valid fail errors
4) it might get installed but you will get lots of FCS
5) everything will be Chinese so you won't understand anything
Do it at your own risk..

Hi, can you share the link for "OS CM13" for download for XT1570, i want to try it.
I am currently on 5.1.1 stock ROM, i need clarification on two things
1. My google maps only works when i try to find something but when i ask for assistance it looses GPS signals while i move. I had tried different location & networks but situation remains the same. So any similar issues or should i change to some other Navigation App. My location is Pakistan.
2. Battery timings with 4G LTE, i am getting approx 8-10 hours. Tried replacing it with new but same results.
Hope to hear from you soon.
