Are the blocked LTE basebands unlocked with the international version? Are you living in a country were the blocked basebands are needed? During flashing the chinese version the chinese modem files must have been flashed, too i think. If you've flashed only the files you've mentioned you're still using the chinese baseband, right? What's your baseband version?

You've flashed modem.img? With 'fastboot flash modem modom.img' ? If that works i'll try to flash TL09 modem to my TL10.

please check your baseband in the phone ifo dialog, because of flashing modem with fastboot is not working! "Remote : command not allowed". If you've flashed the chinese MT7-TL10 firmware your modem still should be the chinese one. If you've 800Mhz LTE in germany (vodafone, o2) it's not the baseband that locks these bands.

What about making a cwm backup, after doing that, wipe cust, system, data and reflash stock recovery with fastboot. That you have international versions update.app in dload folder of external sd should be clear. Now you start your phone with power vol+ vol-. Because of no files are on the phone that could be verified before flash starts it should flash the ROM from dload.

not is possible reflash the general rom international upside the cinese rom whit the dload procedure ..
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monchinglopez:
To go back to the International firmware, you need to unlock your bootloader, download the International version and unpack it (Google is your friend), and manually flash the boot, cache, fastboot, recovery, and system image files from the update.app you downloaded via fastboot. After flashing system.img, reboot and do a factory reset via the Settings menu. That's what I did with my MT7-TL10 (3GB gold variant) and it worked.

Good luck!

I added modem.img

however, it is strange that even after reporting manually all international version, retrying the normal flash with dload, still does not allow

hello friend

I also entered the Chinese rom

as you can read back, if you put the Chinese rom the phone is recognized as a different model, "jazz"

I tried them all, but the only righteous seems to be going from fastboot, then:

unlocking bootloader

DOWN key turn in fastboot

adb fastboot flash command to send the phone files .img forcibly

switch with key on and do reset settings

then again I did not understand why even after you can not 'more' work with update dload general international

Hi Guys,

I have practising my google-fu and believe I have found the issue where the Chinese version has updated the CID on the mobile and I can't change it despite all the stuff tried.

http://techbeasts.com/2014/01/05/useful-adb-and-fastboot-commands-and-how-to-them/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195475

Connect your phone with USB Debugging enabled

Open up an adb shell (if you don't know how to do this, Google it!)

Reboot into fastboot mode in the Bootloader.

Type: fastboot oem writecid 11111111

Type: adb reboot-bootloader

Type: fastboot oem readcid

If it says 11111111 then you have SuperCID

You can reboot as normal

****** It seems to me as if Huawei have locked a lot of 'FASTBOOT' options out so that we cant run these commands, I am willing to stand corrected, I believe the issue with not being able to flash the International version is because we have now been locked to a Chinese CID, however I cant confirm this as I can even get the CID either via Android APKs that I have tried or commands I have run. will keep trying and let you guys know.

Also tried to relock the device to see if I could run them under a locked/relocked system no joy either.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monchinglopez:
Hi!

After unlocking the bootloader, you should download the Huawei firmware unpacker (it can be found here at XDA) and unpack the International ROM you downloaded, as you need to manually flash the image files included in the ROM package. Next, you need to connect your phone to a PC and put it into bootloader mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader" on ADB with USB debugging switched on (under the Developer options menu).

In bootloader mode, it should say that your bootloader is unlocked for any of the following commands to work.

Type:

"fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash the boot file

"fastboot flash cache cache.img" to flash the cache file

"fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img" to flash the fastboot file

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash the recovery file

"fastboot flash modem modem.img" to flash the modem file

"fastboot flash system system.img" to flash the system file (because of its massive size, it may take a while to flash this file)

Reboot by typing "fastboot reboot"

After a successful boot, go to the Settings menu and do a factory reset. Good luck!

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sketchykingy:
OK, I tried installing the latest Chinese version 121, still got no luck with the ability to change versions afterwards, or change to a SuperCID.

It looks as if Sony have done a similar thing where they have crippled the 'fastboot & oem' options, I will keep trying to see if I can locate a way of resolving this but my droid-fu skills are not so good and most likely will have to wait until someone/Huawei create a tool to be able to fix this.

Extract the ZIP file and located the 'dload/update.app'

Extract all the '*.img' files located in the 'update.app' file

Install adb1.3.exe (Press “Y” and “Enter”)

Install AdbDriverInstaller.exe

Install Driver DriverSetup.exe

Copy SuperSU_2.20.zip to internal storage or external SD card.

Run.bat

Select the option 1: - This will install the CWM and enable you to root the device.

Flash the recovery

Enter the CWM recovery mode

Install zip SuperSU_2.20.zip – Reboot the device – Open SuperSU – Reboot – Root Done!

Flash the IMG files

In bootloader mode, it should say that your bootloader is unlocked for any of the following commands to work.

Use either "ADB reboot-recovery" or connect the USB cable to the computer and reboot the device and hold the 'volume down' button and you will be 'fastboot'

Type:

"fastboot erase cust" to erase the cust partition

"fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash the boot file

"fastboot flash cache cache.img" to flash the cache file

"fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img" to flash the fastboot file

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash the recovery file

"fastboot flash system system.img" to flash the system file (because of its massive size, it may take a while to flash this file)

IF 'CUST' won't flash you may need to do the following.

Enter recovery mode again,

Mount the CUST partition via the 'Mounts' option

Reboot by typing "fastboot reboot"

Once done you should have root and a working ENG/International edition installation
