How to change the CN firmware to WW firmware of the Zenpad S 8.0 (Z580CA) - Asus Zenpad 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion

I bought the tablet in China quite awhile back and wanted to change the firmware to an international one. I did my research and did not find much. Finally, I found this link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/u/repair/hard-brick-asus-zenpad-s8-z580ca-z580c-t3465203.
Tried it and it worked. Take note of post number 30. You have to edit the header of the raw image otherwise the process will terminate.

[Q] Region code firmware

Hi all,
I have a G3 D855 16gb; european version. I flashed my Phone with the new v10L firmware but by accident I took the global version instead of the v10l-EUR-xx. But even using Flash Tool 2014 trying to get it back to stock firmware, no matter what I try, any firmware will say it's global now on my Phone. I'm sure I downloaded the EUR-KDZ file. Anyone has any idea how this is possible, or how to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
Not sure it matters. I thought it based version suffix on imei number. I flashed international/european but it says SEA.
I really hope so indeed! I just can't find a way to fix it...

Who has the ZE551ML USA version that can extract the Baseband?

Who has the USA version of the ZE551ML rooted that can extract the baseband (radio) and send it to me so I can flash it in my ZF2 CN version. I will sacrifice my ZF2 and see if that way we can get different LTE bands from different region phones. See the method below, I will need the Radio Partition as a radio.img file.

I have ZE551ML US version. but I have no idea how to extract the baseband. If no one else can help I can read the guide and try to do it.
Hey thanks, I will appreciate it. Sorry I didn't answer back earlier. I am going in a trip and being super busy trying to get everything together. Apparently is not so obvious on the Zenfone 2 where the radio firmware reside. All mayor manufacturers have a separated partition for the radio, asus does not atleast not with an apparent name. The phone have around 18 to 20 partition. Chech this thread for what some people that are trying to backup the modem and EFS have found http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/investigation-efs-t3153154. The guide for dumping partitons is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045 I will appreciate if you help me out. I will contact you once I get back. thanks in advance.
I'm curious about the same. Bought a Zenfone 2 (551ml) in Taiwan only to find it doesn't work in europe :/
I wonder what the reason is segregating the frequencies, my galaxy s2 has been al over europe and asia without problems. Yet this brandspanking new phone won't even connect to the cellular network.

Firmware for CN version Le One Pro

Hi all, I have recently purchased a LETV X800 from Aliexpress. Seller said he will ship with international firmware but i've read that it comes with some viruses and malware.
First thing when i get the phone I want get it on the original firmware, as long as it has English! Can i flash the latest firmware from here? Or could you give me the right link to download the firmware?
Any tips on how to flash the original firmware on the X800?
First of all, you have to find out what kind of phone you get ! The CN model or the US version. Only then you know what firmware you can flash (or not !).
Oh, to quick with answer, see that you'll probably get the CN version. Maybe this forum is for you : ****://www.letv.re/forum/16-le-1-pro/
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yeh most probably i'll be getting a CN version. Phone should be reaching in about 7 to 10 days.
Hi there.
Just received the phone. I got a CN version.
Is it recommended to move to the latest EUI5.8.017S firmware? I am currently on EUI5.5.0.13s
Maybe for you it's better to ask your questions in the forum http://www.letv.re/forum/144-rom-cn/ ?
This one is more for the US version of the phone.
Thanks
does anyone know how to remove the network speed on the notification bar ?
Edit: Solved - Dual sim mobile networks >>data managment >> trafiic settings > turn on display real time speed
u can find it from setting -- about Phone , above have phone model

HELP w/ ZE551ML - Z00ADB China Variant Root+Change to WW FW with all 4G frequencies?

Hi
I just bought a ZenFone2 yesterday. It's a China/India variant
Code:
[B][U]551ML Z00_ADB[/U][/B]
- (4GB RAM + 16 GB Internal + 1.8Ghz CPU).
Because it's a "grey import" there's no manufacturor's warranty with it (unless I fly to China) - so I'm gonna get to modding this. Now I've been doing it for years with my previous HTC One and Galaxy S3..
However, this Asus Zen seems to be "too commonly named"... the variants, the different versions.. many of them ZE551ML - yet specs different. In fact it took me 5 minutes just to find this one I bought on any website at all (cuz usually the 1.8Ghz version is supposed to carry 2GB RAM)..
Anyway- sorry to drift off topic - I need a quick/easy link to the right files to turn this into a WW version with all 4G channels open hopefully.
It's currently on Android 5.0 and baseband 2.something...
I don't really want to experiment too much because it's my first upgrade in 4 yrs...
So ideally - I'd be asking anyone familiar with this specific variant to point me in the right direction..
Bootloader/Root
FW Upgrade
WWE Variant
Kernel
MM/Noug (I'd go with AICP but ZenUI does offer some cool stuff)
Very familiar with adb commands and stuff - I've been modding apps and kernels for a long time. *Not*Coder* though.
TIA

Okay - But this variant has only one Chinese band. I travel a lot (and live in UK) so I'd need EU + North America + India/Bangladesh -
-- Would be able to answer the rest of my question please? -- (the official asus site has only Lollipop in CN variant SKU, WW has Android M but Japan variant is even newer (Dec 2016) - Shall I grab those or....? I need to fully unlock/crack this open as I will be modding into Nougat soon from Cyano/AiCP

as i mentioned earlier none of the firmware will open all the frequencies.
TW version will open band 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,18,19,28
WW version will use 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,20
US version 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,17,20
CN version 1,20 on FDD and 38,39,40,41 on TDD
and you can choose any of above version of firmware. to change the firmware you must get RAW firmware of your desired version and flash it via Fastboot commands. there are other ways to do so like flashing ifwi and boot files then updating via zip.. but raw is the most safe method. as there are lot of chances you may brick your device..

buddy either you are unable to understand or i am not getting it.... being on latest firmware will not change anything in Band configuration. whatever firmware you are on. either it is very first release or the latest one band configuration will be the same. you have choose firmware according to your required Band Config. don't look at latest release. look at your requirement..

-Then you did not understand. Please let me repeat it again.
Your msg quote " choose firmware according to your required Band Config. don't look at latest release. look at your requirement. "
My question in my reply " What bout Japan? - They have the latest (Dec 2016) FW "
=
There was no information about the JP SKU FW
- so if I do not know what bands are availabe in THAT FW, then how will I know if it matches requirement?
Choose FW based on Requirement
Don't look at Release FW, look at your requirement. - That's a paradox BUDDY.
Someone has to look at the Released FW (bands + other features) AND then check if it matches their requirement. YES?
Also (separate question)
isn't it possible to merge the various radio_xx.img from different FWs into one CFW so all are open? I've done it previously for HTC One long time ago. I'm wondering if it is different for this device or OS.

unfortunately i tried to activate different bands but no success till now.. as per concern with JP firmware.. download it and look for active 4G bands in tlv file..... i don't have JP firmware on my PC. and not willing to download too. data is too costly Buddy. so check it yourself
Solved it, it was easier than other phones actually sys/intel has the right files that need merging from different variants.

can you elaborate which additional band you opened on which firmware?

LM-G710EMW update from Android 8

Hi,
Not been around here since the days of the S3.
Anyhow, recently picked up a dual sim LG G7 thinq mostly for use a backup phone.
It's a LM-G710EMW model, of which there seems to be precious little information compared to over versions.
LG Bridge doesn't seem to work in Mac anymore, but when it did it told me there were no updates for my model.
Currently it's stuck on Android 8.0.0. Are there no official updates for this at all?
Software version is listed as V10d-LAO-YT
Hi
you can download firmware here https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710emw-firmwares/ Which exactly I cant tell because you didnt provide more info from version page (csc maybe imei).
You can flash it via LGUP (im not sure about mac compability) by this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-and-re-lock-bootloader.3820888/ (you need to follow first half)
Thanks. Strangley almost everything related to finding out the CSC is for Samsung devices.
Anyhow, looking at the IMEI the 7th and 8th number are 09, which according the only table I could find is India. Sounds about right, but doesn't seem to be any way to confirm it.
