Sorry for the dumb Question but can i install the bnd-l21 on the bnd-al10 version?
Firmware bnd-l21 on bnd-al10 band?
Have the same thing going here. Have you figured out what's the deal with that? Ive went on a 2 day Google hunt and kinda gave up. If you have learned anything about it, please clue me in. Thank you.
I purchased an honor 7x from geekbuying and it was the bnd al10 phone but it is running the bnd l21 firmware so it must be possible. My concern is now around getting updates for the firmware as I haven't had any OTA updates whatsoever since purchasing the phone in December. I'm in the UK by the way.
I bought it from Amazon.in, but since no update after buy, still on B101, please help , model: BND-AL10
IN my device its written BND- AL10 as model, but here why telling as L-21/L-22 /L-34 whats the relation
My config: Honor 7X, Ram 4GB, Rom: 32 GB
Has anybody tried to stuff an updated AL10 or L21 software on this from the Firmware Finder APP? I have the same thing, L21***B101 inside an AL10 device. No effin' update whatsoever since crap knows when.
Looks like you guys need to get in touch with huawei/honor website(hihonors). Let them know the software's wrong for your model. Maybe they can look up your model by serial no.

I already posted there long ago and not a single response was produced.
Also
I also purchased the BND-L21 from China (Aliexpress) (says AL10 on tag but L21 internal) and no updates. I asked Aliexpress about the difference between AL10 and L21. They said they converted my phone from the AL10, Chinese version to the L21 international version so I guess they're identical. I contacted Huawei and they said I would be getting an update over the next couple months and to check for it every few days. Even though I've only had the phone a short time, I'm very impatient to get the update. Does anyone know where to manually get it?
Full firmware is not available from my knowledge

I think that the full firmware is not still available to download for Honor 7X (I saw many guys complaining about it in the community). If the full firmware is available it will be possible to flash your device.

On the contrary, I contacted Huawei support and they told me that the seller altered the software. They said that the seller installed a custom-ROM on my phone that's why it's not getting an update. The AL-10 model is only for China. I'm finding it hard to believe though. That the seller will alter this software.
What about your phone packet?

Was the packet opened when you got the device in hand?
Yes
Yes, my phone package had been opened. I asked Aliexpress about that and they said they needed to do that to replace the A10 (chinese) version with the L21 (international) version.
I found a site online where I can get the files to do a manual update. They won't let me post the link here (yet). If I don't get an automatic update within the next week or two I may go ahead with this. I really want the gyroscope to work!

Did you tried it already?
Also, I was playing with huawei firmaware finder app. And found Oreo update there but checksum wont match. But when I changed phone version to some other AL-10 it said checksum matches phone. Is it safe to proceed? Did anyone tried that?

Hi guys,
Not sure what's going on but I'm not getting any updates whatsoever. I tried checking manually but to no avail. I also tried downloading the Huawei HiSuite App, there are software updates under my model number but it's saying it's not approved. WTH's going on? Does anyone have info on this?
Thanks,

Its random it seems. I just got it yesterday. Someone else on this forum said they got it last week but their wife didnt get it until this week even though they bought their phones at the same time and live in the same location. So there is no pattern it seems when it comes to the rollout.

I did a little research and B101 builds are not getting anything at all. Our security patch is still Oct 2017. And other builds, though not getting updates at the same time, still managed to get something. I don't wanna root and go to that route but after Q1 and still no updates, I'll probably do it.
B102 same situation.. I think moderators should get all this topics in the same.. because they are everywhere in the forum
I have L24 US version of Honor 7X. It was stuck at firmware B101. Always said "No update". Customer support could not help. I had a ATT Mexico SIM in it. As soon as I changed the SIM to T-Mobile US, it found updates B130 and B140. So update depends on SIM.
I also bought another Honor 7X that had already B130 and put in Movistar Mexico SIM and it found right away update B140. So it may be that only B101 needs a US Sim to update.
I hope this helps other people who are still stuck at original firmware B101.
Same here....
Just Nitty grittyy...
bought my device from Alie Express, In the back of the phone it is written BND-AL10
But in the settings it says BND-L21
I updated to BND-L21xxxxB102XXX
but no updates after that...
in hisuite & firmware finder both app, there are updates for the device but it says not authorized for installation.
Any Idea?
Hi,
I have the same problem. My Phonemodel is BND-21. Also on the back. I bought my device from Amazon.de. The huawei- support says, that the phone is from Spain. I'm in Austria. Next week I will talk to the support again and ask why I don't get updates.
If I have some time I'll make a factory reset and check for updates.

I'm now seeing a fullOTA update thru firmware finder for Orea and it's approved for installation, however, it's saying download fail to me.
I'm getting fed up.
So today I noticed a weird thing about my Honor 7X..
On the back side of the phone it says I have the AL10 version of the phone but in the "About phone" section of the phone it says I have the L21 version..
Also, I got the 32GB Storage + 4GB RAM version of the phone which apparently doesn't even exist in the L21 version according to GSMarena.
What version of the phone do I have?
Is my phone a glitch in the matrix?
P.S. I still have the B101 update and I don't get any new updates, is that normal?
Same thing here. Bought mine on Aliexpress, converted from AL10 to L21. No updates. We're waiting for the Oreo firmware. Should fix things.
There's a method that allows you go back to the stock AL10 firmware but AL10 is Chinese, so you can't really enjoy it.
I have the same phone. No updates whatsoever.
I have bnd Al10 and I received the update today
You can put the version AL10C675 it is from India, and has playstore, does someone knows how to change software without have to change recovery?
Man how i love Xiaomi in this things.. you took miflash and boommm it is done!!
I have BND AL 10 and till date i have got 2 updates for my phone. I am from India. They will be pusing the oreo update in the 2nd quarter of the year.
Same for me. Al10 on the back, L21 in setings. I'll wait for the updates... Romania (Europe ?)
Hi Guys,
I am not from India & I'm looking for information on the India variant. I have e-mailed honor India and got information that looks different from what I have seen online.
From looking at an online seller of the 7x in India, the model number they show is the BND-AL10 version (32GB Version), however the response I received from Honor was the version sold in India is - Honor 7x >> Bond-L22B (32GB) = BND-L22 (which is the same as gsmarena info). From what I have seen online, the box says BND-AL10.
- On the device itself under the ''About Phone'' section what does the model number say? Is it the same on the box and the about phone section, BND-AL10?
Also while reading on this site, the BND-AL10 version is also the Chinese variant, so do the phones that are sold in either country receive OTA'S on similar timelines? I'm guessing the one sold in India is configured for the market, google, etc
- On the version sold in India, does it have a lot of pre-loaded app's that are native for the India region and can it be uninstalled?
- Can OTA updates be received when outside of India or are OTA updates dependent on having an active India sim card in?
- If OTA'S are not received when the device is out of India, can it be loaded manually & how so?
Thanks in advance
Any assistance from the Honor experts from india? Or anyone with info. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks*
My device shows bnd-al10, in retail box and in about phone section too.
Yes it has some pre loaded apps but most of them ar uninstallable.(truecaller, facebook, ucbrowser and some games)
Ota update does not depend of sim card, you will get the update when a update for Indian variant is released. Independent upon where you are.
You can update manually if you can't wait for the update to be released for your variant by using firmware finder app. (Instructions are given in that app)

In terms of the OTA updates, honor india response was that i will not receive any OTA once the device was out of india, which I found strange. Hence i thought maybe it was about having an active sim. I believe your answer makes sense but not sure why they said no. If OTA's for example do not come to the device, is there a way of installing it manually?
In regards to updates, i have seen on the site that they have a software page, how would one go about updating from their page? Load the file on a sd, etc.. any link for the process to follow?
Sorry for the many questions, still new to this.

This can only apply to people who purchased the global version that has V9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD installed, as we know that 9.6.6.0 is broken

there isnt any working modem on 9.6.6.0.OEDMIFD
I tried the default modem, 9.6.12.0 (china modem), 8.8.30, 8.9.6, 8.9.13, 9.6.6.0 (china modem)
I tried changing the vendor partition which broke even more stuff.
Maybe @nijel8 havent checked under ground (parking lots), in door buildings, and more which make the signal so weak.
also there is no LTE/LTE+ on the 9.6.6.0.OEDMIFD
We need someone with the un-released 9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD to confirm this

Don't be so sure as we don't know 9.6.6.0 is broken. You've already said 9.6.4.0 is fake and that wasn't true.
You installation of 9.6.6.0 doesn't proof anything.
We know for sure many times problems are fixed by fastboot rom nad we don't have global fastboot rom released yet to test.
Yes, I haven't tested mine enough to know for sure it runs fine under different conditions so I will not say it has no problems, we've had enough rumors spread around... So let's just leave it to people who have more to say...
I'm on 9.6.6.0 for a week now as a daily driver, no problem at all. So, afaik, 9.6.6.0 is not broken.

Global SKU of the phone is not available yet.
I'd suggest waiting if you want modems to work properly - possibly also extra bands and NFC.

I'm not sure if you are aware what are you actually using. The phone does not have NFC. https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_max_3-8963.php That is one of its weak point.

I'm aware the version currently doesn't, and of course it can't be enabled without the hardware.
However, I was told by a retailer (who are selling 'global' units) that the true global version was not available yet, would be a distinct hardware version, and that it may carry both extra bands and NFC.
"I'm not sure if you aware" that other global versions of Chinese phones have added both an NFC reader and additional bands? It is not unlikely in this case.
I had asked them about the likelihood of a Max 3 Pro coming soon (and with NFC) as Malyasian / Indian e-tailers had re-added pre-orders for the Pro, with October expected date. They said they didn't know, but gave the above information about the global Max 3.

Well I did read about the device quite a bit but I haven't seen anywhere the global version would have NFC. I doubt Xiaomi would change the hardware in the global version. M3Pro on the other hand as you say may come with that but its up in the air yet...
It's rare that Chinese brands release any information ahead of availability of global SKUs, even if the hardware differs (which it not infrequently does).
We'll see.
The Max 3 is apparently among those devices that'll be officially available in European markets .. that makes it a lot more likely that bands and NFC will be added, as there have been in other phones.
I didn't think that there was any difference between the original Chinese variant and the International/Global variant which they began selling in Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines last week, but I was wrong. My Chinese Mi Max 3 arrived from tradingshenzhen with an unlocked bootloader and xiaomi.eu flashed as I had requested, and with xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 it works great. But a friend recently came home with a Max 3 purchased in the Philippines which is running v9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD (Global). When he goes to the Mi verification web site and enters his IMEI it says "you have a valid International Version". When I go to the site and enter my IMEI it says "you do not have a valid International Version and may encounter difficulties - please purchase from official distribution channels in the future".

Ok, I am getting irritated by you already...
Don't give your opinion on something you don't completely understand. As I said your installation procedure is so lame I don't even know how to say it without offending you. Believe me that is not my intention...
First you don't have global version and the OP question is specifically for that one.
Second you don't have fastboot global rom to begin with. There are so much more to the rom than what is it in the recovery zip. Otherwise Xiaomi won't be releasing both.
Third how do you know if Xiaomi didn't place some restrictions preventing Chinese devices running Global rom properly hence your problems...
So until you flash fastboot Global rom or better yet for this OP get global version try to not spread false information.
Peace...
No official yet?

The bnd-l24 part should be the easy part.
The firmwares are here. Both the "bnd" and "bond" are OK to use.
But I recently worked with someone else who did rebrand to USA version, and found out the modems do not work correct on us / western frequency's.
And need to know of the phone is unlocked boot loader or not.
