Help Please - "International" Firmware for China Mobile N3 m850a Smart Phone...(?)
The N3 m850a is a China Mobile produced smartphone.
It incorporates a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 MSM8953 chip.
The phone is installed with a Chinese version of Android 7, which means no Google apps and basically somewhat different menu setup.
I was hoping that, maybe, there is a firmware that could be compatible with this phone...preferably with some of the latest Androind platforms.
I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance with locating a possible firmware.
Thank you so much, all the best and stay safe in these turbulent times.

Hi.
I have a problem with my Note. I bought the Korean version of the phone (at leats it should be) but the specifications of the phone are driving me crazy lol
As I said, when I bought it, it should be the Korean version, however the rom running on it is from AT&T (AT&T splash screen, AT&T wifi hotspots in the settings, AT&T phone update and so on). The phone is rooted. When I run a device info app, it’s a mess:
Android version: 2.3.6
Release Codename: REL
CPU ABI: armeabi-v7a
CPU ABI2: armeabi
Hardware: SHV-E160L
Board: MSM8660_SURF
Device: SGH-I717
Display: GINGERBREAD.Jhonms.557419
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-i717
Product: SGH-I9220
Even though I don’t understand some of this info, there are 3 things that intrigue me. The CPU, I guess it’s from the Korean version, since it seems the AT&T devices have a QUALCOMM processor. But the weirdest part for is the Hardware (SHV-E160L) and the Device and Model (SGH-I717) information. Shouldn’t that be the same in all the information? So my phone is it the AT&T model or the Korean model? The guy who sold it to me told me it was the Korean model but they change something in the ROM to support Chinese (I live in China), and the Korean ROM doesn’t support Chinese. However, I want to put the original Korean ROM because it has the NFC already working, while in the AT&T build I have in my phone, it’s not activated yet. So, anyway can anyone tell me which model I have?
And, if it's the Korean model, how did he put the AT&T ROM on it? I thought you couldn't mess the S7000, SI717, etc model roms?!
Thanks in advance.
This is all correct for an i717 at&t model.
hi,
i am also living in china and i guess i have the same device with yours.
i checked some web sites and they said at&t model doesn't have any physical home button.
but mine has it and the korean model (E160L) has it, too.
so i guess the hardware is from korea but the rom is not the original one.
does your device has '掌界网www_dot_wpcnn_dot_com' in Build number?
if so, it must be the same as mine.
i am thinking whether i can rewrite E160L original rom by modifying some information in build.prop. but i haven't succeeded in doing it because i don't know correct data in E160L's build.prop. (i am thinking samsung kies can update the rom to E160L's one if i fake it to E160L)
this device supports LTE though. i don't know if it's enabled on this device or not.
*#2263# doesn't the menu for it.
and i tried to install CMW (for SGH-I717) by odin3 today. flashing it to the device was ok. but the device cannot get in recovery mode....(infinite loop of booting)
anyway, this rom sucks.

Was anyone able to flash CWM on this? I am also having a loopy-recovery.
AFAIK... CMW = for ENGLISH, FRENCH and SPANISH etc ...languages.... and not set for 128bit character languges (am not sure iof right-correct tech word for chinese kange etc sorry to lazy to look that word up!)
the CMW = for 'western languages' only
Smart for S'sung = KOREAN MODELS = as non western languages .....
((( that they designagted that as "INTERNATIONAL MODEL" phones different MODEL NUMBER to ATT/Rodgers etc )))
There is a thread from one OP = about BOUNTY for making "korean models' able to do CMW + ATT/Roders ROMS etc ,,,,, you can search for there for my comments ..
Cheers , hope this helps towards some explinations of CMW/Drivers etc between two models of NOTE

no, no and no.
If I may have your attention within this Thread, the report system is not for ROM issues .
The report system is for Forum Rule violations, so please do not use the reporting system to identify your ROM/Rooting and or any issues regarding this manner.
Please understand that issues if they can be will be addressed, within the thread. Continue reporting that regarding your ROM issues, will result in abuse of the reporting system.
Thank you.
i have the same phone as you do some chinese guy rooted the phone without asking me and then i have ended up with this boring software i have tired everything the at&t thing doesnt even work but i will keep looking and when i find it i will post to let you know what i did!!
Just a hello from a new member and some info on my phone, in case this sort of info is helpful to anyone:
Country: Australia
Phone: Nova 3e
Model: ANE-LX2J
Current build number: ANE-LX2J 8.0.0.121(C636)
Note the phone just updated earlier today with whatever incremental changes were made relative to when this was out of the box (bought it a week and a half ago from JB).
I've grabbed the unlock code from the Huawei website, just need to go through that process then will likely root the phone and maybe install an alternate bootloader. But still trying to figure out what actually will be compatible with *my* phone, as compared with all the other P20 Lite variants.
#1 request for now would be to have a solid, no-frills AOSP-based ROM to replace EMUI. Whatever I can do on to help out on that front...
Cheers
Nik
Fingers crossed OpenKirin will have a good option for this device soon :good:
dual sim firmware code
I too bought the Nova 3e from JB-hifi in Australia. However, I was disappointed to find that it did not have the dual-sim option under my settings page. Wondering if anyone knows how to interpret the firmware naming conventions to identify dual/single sim options? My model is the ANE-LX2J, country code 636, current build is 121. Love to be able to flash this to a dual sim option, without losing the correct 4G bands required in Australia. Thank you in advance for any knowledge sharing.

Hello, I recently bought an unbranded Chinese smartphone/smartwatch hybrid from Alibaba, it doesn't specify any name or product information, just the chip - MT6739 that it is running and the ID: DM100. Can anyone assist me on how can I start developing a custom android rom, or has anyone worked with such devices? Any help or resources are really appreciated. I do know development for such a chipset is wide as many smartphone manufacturers use it. Motorola, LG, Lenovo, Doogee, Huawei, ZTE and others.
Hello everyone. As my tablet is still running under Android 5.1, and the dealer does no more support this device, I am looking to find away to update this device. I guess it is sold under lots of different denotations. The device has LTE and a simcard slot. So does anybody know how to update the firmware? If you need more details dont hesitate to post it. Thanks for your help
Hey there,
I wanted to buy a Realme GT, but I don't know the differences between all those variants. I'm unsure, if I would be buying a smartphone, which would for example have a lack of some network frequencies I had to use, currently living in Germany.
Could anyone provide me some help? Also, I wanted to root this phone and get some mods, are there any specific variant ones or are they working on all phones?
Would be really nice, if I could get some help, thanks in advance
Realme GT GLOBAL -> have all languages, 5G almost all bands except united states and china Comes with google play
Realme GT EU (or Indian version) it does have lots of languages but for example it don't have portuguese(brazil) language. it does have all bands like realme gt global. It includes some apps or stuff that is related to indian and euro market. Come with google play
Realme GT CN - Chinese variant it comes with google play services installed but no google play store. It comes with a bunch of chinese apps that are kinda useless
Both EU ,CN and Global version will have all 5G bands in germany. (Cn version have less two 4G bands so its recommended to use O2 KPN provider)
All variants can be rooted homeweaver its not recommended as realme didnt released kernel sources yet so there is no twrp (and that make rooting and updating system very HARD without bricking)
Also it is not the best device to root as you will lose in screen fingerprint after rooting.
If you want to look for a phone to root, see oneplus or xiaomi or wait realme community grow with custom roms that can use fingerprint while rooted
Here you can compare different band and combination support:
Global: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202_11
China: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202
I recommend buy Global version if you will use device outside from China.

I just recently got one online for a real decent price thinking that I could load custom ROMs and all but there's nothing out there. Is there any hope for this device or is it better to just get rid of it and get another device which is more likely to be supported in the long run?

I am thinking of buying the Chinese version of this cell phone but I am somewhat hesitant about the issue of google services and updates, you say that it comes with google services installed but without the play store, so google apps and their services will work without problems if I only install the playstore?
