Z016S TIM version - need help changing SKU - Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers

Hi!
I have purchased a Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL (SD820 version) from Italy, unfortunately it has branding by TIM (Italian Telecom) and thus a TIM SKU.
Can someone tell me the steps I must follow to change the software (incl SKU) to WW?
Does the Bootloader Unlock tool work on all SKU versions?
I heard someone found a way to install WW software, but unfortunately they didn't reply to questions on issues others ran into and I don't want to risk bricking the phone.
Thanks in advance

You have to unbrand your phone. The bootloader unlock tool works only with WW SKU, but i'm not sure. Try it
Check this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-deluxe/help/help-flash-stock-7-0nougat-via-stock-t3588591
There is also a thread in an italian forum, "androidworld"
After unbrand, you have to replace the recovery with the WW SKU one and then you wil be able to update with downloadable firmwares on the asus website

[Q] Change FIrmware???

I keep reading different people saying: "I had CN firmware so I flashed WW firmware ...." while on the Asus site, from where I got the firmwares, says "DO NOT FLASH FIRMWARE OF DIFFERENT SKU VERSIONS" ... it explains further "CN SKU should flash CN firmware".
Can someone lead me in the right direction and tell me how to flash my CN version to WW version? Do I just flash the WW firmware off of Asus's site?

I have the Chinese version and I just applied the pre-root ROM ... it actually changed my firmware to WW! Although, bands are the same. :/
Here is a reply to my question on another thread by user 'MironV' : "It seems that installing a different region firmware will work, but the bands won't."
Another reply by 'sorg' : "Flashing firmware from different region won't change supported 4G bands. Bands support relies on region of phone, which is defined in SFI (it's simpler version of ACPI found in PC) OEM1 table, and it's not touched by flashing procedure.
Although, it may be possible to spoof HW region in kernel. But it requires unlocked bootloader."

Updating firmware with the right SKU???

What's the different SKU firmwares? I'm assuming JP is Japan, CN is China?, WW is World Wide version and there's a CUCC, not sure what that one is.
The question is, I have the WW firmware right now can I ONLY upgrade using the WW firmware from Asus site? I ask because WW is still at .97 and there's already been two firmware up (.102) and wondering why Asus is taking their sweet time this round for WW updates.
Isn't there more to the ww firmwares?
There's a way to change SKU version in the all-in-one thread. To change it from WW to CN you need a CN fastboot and recovery image (droidboot.img and recovery.img) instead of WW ones provided in that thread. There are many of these in Chinese forums, or you can just extract it yourself.

HTV32(HTC10 for Japan) with WW firms and LTE-Band19?

I want to convert HTV32(HTC10 for Japan region) to WW or US firms, except its compatibility of LTE-Bands.
Because of some reasons:
I'm in Japan and HTV32 is compatible with LTE-bands I want(LTE-Band1,3,and especially Band19).
But the original firmware of HTV32 includes too many bloatwares that other versions of firmware don't include.
So in short, I want a WW or US version of HTC10 with LTE-Band19 compatibility.
I wonder this can be realized with flashing the WW firm and HTV32's original radio, but I don't know it really works.
Does anyone know any examples like this?
Or if you have any infos about this topic, would you share it to me?
Thanks

ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe unbranding

Hi.
I have purchased the ZS570KL today, but the device is branded by a foreign phone operator (TIM/Italian Telecom).
What do I need to unbrand the phone?
Will changing the SKU to WW enable the 2nd SIM slot, and how can I change SKU (what do I need to do [email protected])?
Is there a simple way to install WW firmware?
Thanks in advance

LG Wing from KOR to EUR

Is there any way to convert my Korean (KT) LG Wing to EUR firmware? I really can't stand all the bloatware the KT version has. I tried some quides but no luck
I'd be interested in learning how to do this too
Hi,
Did anyone get any success in changing the rom to EUR?
Hi,
I have a LG WING LM-F100EMW , Indian variant. I have been tracking the software updates of the phone and found out that, there have been atleat 4 updates in other countries like in Germany, Poland, Spain, each having the same model no, just different regions, and here in India we have received only 2 updates.
I had been searching several forums and have been trying to install other region firmware on my LG wing, but have been unsuccessful.
I had been using LGUP software 1.16 with LGUP_common.dll 2.1 .
The error which I am getting is , UNABLE TO CHANGE REGION FROM COM55_EU5 TO COM5_EU1
I have searched through other forums and have not been able to find anything.
If someone have the idea, how this can be avoided and I am able to install other region firmware on the phone, as i have read at many places that you can install other region firmwares till the model no is same.
hi,
it would be intresting if anyone can share the guide to change from Korean firmware to EU
Hi everyone, someone find solution ?
you would use LG Up for this. Korean models should be flashable, but be careful. This is how I bricked my LG Wing
Thanks for your answer, but i tried and i get message says impossible to do it. It's stop automatically. I have others option, I'm scared to brick the phone. Is it irreversible ?
