C is the region code, but we always install different region roms, as huawei offers son many C variants of their device, they cannot product a update for every variant of every model.

In fact on the X2, it is very often that we cross flashing different C roms, and even different model roms (for example, if you want android 6 on your 701L with official rom, you'll have ton install a 702L rom). All those crossflashs work very well.

Not for example that the app firmware finder enable to look for 701L roms instead of 701LC199.

If you want, I can find you a C code chart, to know which C is for wich region (if I remember well, C199 is marked "factory", so not regional in fact).

For you I advice on of these choices :

- Incremental dload update to B005, then B008

- If you install TWRP recovery, you can install directly with it the flashable 701L B008 stock rom by ajsmsg78.

- If you want official android 6, direct dload install of 702L B205

- TWRP recovery install of a custom rom, for much features and less bloatwares ( simply international B205, or kangVIP v3 slim B212)

Many Thanks for these informations

:good: :good: :good:

But before the links,

I think I'm getting too old for rooting, Unlockin Bootloader and these things :D

I used to do everything with my previous phones

But now I just want to update peacefully my phone to the last 701L B008 :D

So I'm only asking if it would work if I only update from B003 to B008 directly or Incrementally

Or even Flash the B008 full stock rom via stock recovery (the one with only update, wipedata, wipecache)

And would it work If I updated with a different region File?

Again ... Thanks and best regards.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
For simple way, follow post #1 here:

https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/ota-b008-701l-sept-7th-2017-t3674628

, and first install 701L B005, then 701L B008 (links are in this post) . Full B008 rom does not exist.

But there is an easier way, that gives you moreover android 6 and EMUI 4 (far better!) , just install by official dload method, 702LB205 full rom, directly on your 701L device , works like a charm. See:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Beautifulife4747:
Of course I will do the Android 6 thing.

I'm downloading the rom right now.

As I understand it from your links , It's too simple.

Just copy dload Folder & auto_upgrade.cfg file into internal memory then restart or local update ..... Right?

But sorry, I need confirmation from you that everything would be ok because you know I can't do a nandroid backup and I don't want a brick phone.

And thanks alot, you've been very helpful and so patient with me.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
1) download the file "GEM-702LC209B205.zip"

2) rename it "update.zip"

3) put it in a "dload" folder at the root of your external SD card, or at the root of your internal storage

5) do a EMUI local update (I recommend that way) , or reboot the X2 (to be sure to launch update at start, turn off the X2, then force the update: power on your X2 with the three buttons pushed until screen shows something)

702LB205 rom has been installed on 701L device with B003 rom before with no issues at all, everything works fine (including 701L extra 4G bands), that's just that your device will now show 702L in "about phone" !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Beautifulife4747:
Will Do, Thanks :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Beautifulife4747:
It worked, I really appreciate your help :)

I guess local update was enough. It didn't need to force the update by pressing the three buttons. I did it anyway , but got failed problem.

Everything look fine up tell now.

Thanks :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
just tried, in fact you have to unzip GEM-702LC209B205.zip content into dload folder to make it work

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

congrats, you have the more recent official X2 rom on your 701L ;)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Beautifulife4747:
Thanks :)

Do I have to force the update now

Everything look different to me
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
No. Your device is upgraded, just use it now...

This might be different because Emui version upgrade usually changes a lot the user peception
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Beautifulife4747:
Yeah, But it is a good difference and I like it ;) .

There is only a little brightness or color hesitation in the home screen just after closing a game or restarting. Also Colors in some HD games at some point become a little bit pale (although with better performance).

but it is not that annoying.

And some settings go back to default after a while like Disabling the default Keyboard.

But other than that everything look great. :)

Root it if you need yourself to use a app for tooted device only.

If you don't see the need to be rooted, that's mean you don't have to root.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
it works für me. (inflated the zip into dload-Folder on SD-Card and run the Huawei Update-Program by pressing Power on and simultaneously Vol+ and Vol-). Now I have a GEM702L.

Is there the boot and recovery area updated, too by flashing this rom ?

I flashed it, because I had (and still have) an issue: I cannot enter the fastboot-mode. see here
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Wonkobongo:
Hello Djiban,

I would like to follow your process.

But all GEM-702LC209B205.zip files that i that I find incl. the ones in your 2 links (one link is dead) are no valid ZIP-Files (they could not be unpacked) and they also fail while doing the update.

It seems they are all the same corrupted file with the exact same size of 1.402.994.688 Bytes.

Do you know an actuall and valid file?

Thank you in advance,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] callmepaull:
Hi, I installed Lineage OS 14.1 on my Galaxy S4 SGH-M919. Everything was working fine, until the phone freezes (after I installed WhatsApp and used it for a bit, I am not sure if this is relevant, but it doesn't hurt to share)

They tried rebooting and it never booted.

So I booted into CWM and reinstalled Lineage OS + GAPPS. Everything works fine except that the SIM is not being recognized.

I then decided to use Odin to flash the original firmware as I did before many times (assuming there is an issue with the modem or something), but this time Odin is complaining about the PIT file.

I tried with a new cable, etc. I can't make Odin flash the original firmware.

Is there any way I could either make the phone recognize the SIM or at least install the stock firmware so then I can reinstall Lineage?

Thanks in advance,

I just found out something strange, which might help solve the problem. When I restart the phone and install Lineage OS via CWM and go to About Phone it says that my phone is a GT-I9005. I am obviously sure it is not, but now I am thinking, is it possible that when I reinstalled the stock ROM from the SGH-M919 or when installing the different Lineage OS versions something changed?

Should I try to install the stock GT-I9005 version and see if Odin accepts it?

Any advice will be appreciated,

Thanks

EDIT: Also that might be the reason why Odin is not finding the PIT partition? Maybe it is looking for the GT-I9005 partition? So strange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] callmepaull:
Unfortunately, I tried downloading the stock ROM for the GT-I9505 and Odin is giving me the same error.

I am not sure why it is not even accepting the PIT file for the SGH-M919. The only thing left is to try the PIT file for the GT-I9505

If anyone has any tips....

Thanks!

Thanks, yes, in Download Mode it still says SGH-M919... not sure why Odin is not letting me flash the stock ROM nor the PIT file.

I try different mehthod unlocked bootloader but not successful i try lg developer site lg but nit successful and how to root my phone plz
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
I haven't seen this mentioned before but has anyone noticed LG devices are severely lacking bands compared to other manufactures? LG seems to tailor the bands based on the carrier and country. This seems fine if you don't leave your home country much. However, if looking for a device that works equally well in multiple countries, LG should be avoided. At least that's the conclusion I came to based on specs and my international needs.

For example:

T-Mobile LG V30 (14 LTE Bands)

LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 20(800), 28(700), 29(700), 40(2300), 41(2500), 66(1700/2100), 71

T-Mobile S8+ (19 LTE Bands)

LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 18(800), 19(800), 20(800), 25(1900), 26(850), 66(1700/2100), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Sony Xperia XZ Premium (20 LTE Bands)

LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 19(800), 20(800), 26(850), 28(700), 29(700), 32(1500), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Currently the V30 would be the best option for T-Mobile only because it has band 71 but if traveling somewhere outside of USA, it seems like it would be the worst option. I'm probably going to pick up the Sony for this reason. and later on upgrade to something else with band 71 when T-Mobile has deployed it in more areas.

What do you think about the limited bands available on LG Devices? Do you think this will limit coverage or only LTE coverage? Why would LG do this, do they save money by not needing to do additional FCC tests?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Japultra:
T-Mobile has free text and data in over 140 countries. I would assume that any phone they release, especially flagships, will work in ALL these countries. Now, if you wanted an unlocked version to use with another carrier sim, then I could see why you might have an issue.

Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks it looks like the T-Mobile LG bands will cover just about every country. I only checked until Puerto Rico, but only 1 country before that didn't support any LG bands and that was Anguilla, a country I have never even heard of. Other than that, every other country had at least one carrier which supported the LG bands.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
Yes, they work around the world but they don't have as many bands as other manufactuer's and they don't have all the bands available in other countries so it seems like coverage would be less. This isn't a T-Mobile issue, it's an LG issue. Take a look at any LG phone compared to any other phone on the same carrier and the LG model is always lacking bands. Sony seems to be quite the opposite where they have fewer versions of the phones with almost all bands.

I would definitely be putting in a local sim card in the destination country so this would be an issue, even if I wasn't, roaming coverage on your home carrier seems like it won't be as good as if you had a different manufacture's phone with more bands in the area your visiting.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Japultra:
Your best bet might be to wait until your next device to get a band 71 compatible device. Depending on where you live, you might not even see any band 71 coverage until your next phone anyway.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] feelfreetoblameme:
A good concern to bring up for those of us that travel and rely on T-Mobile's great international coverage. I'm looking to get the unlocked V30 myself and it seems to have an even lower number of bands compared to the T-Mobile version, at least from what I can see on B&H's pre-order site. My main overseas travel is to Pakistan and England and looking at the bands used in both countries, the LG V30 covers them. That being said, when I have traveled with my current Nexus 5 that has less bands, I haven't had too many issues. I expect overseas data to be slow unless I get a local SIM but I agree it would be nice to have more options.

From B&H:

LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 20, 25, 66
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
This isn't just an LG issue. I've had the same issue with phones from any other provider. It's all part of traveling. I've always had to look at what bands are available where I'm going from which carriers and which bands my phone covered and then choose a local carrier accordingly. If you're lucky, you might even get a choice of two carriers that post coverage maps so you get to make a completely informed decision. So not really an LG thing.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] portcqb:
In the band selection menu on the T-mobile version and on the box it shows 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,20,25,28,29,30,38,39,40,41,46,66,71
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
Correct but if LG phones do in fact have 5 or so less bands, you're going to have more issues than if you had a different manufacturer with more bands. Depends on where you go and what those carriers support of course.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
Strange. If accurate then every site online listing the specs is wrong.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
Looks like nobody knows what bands the phone has.

LG website says:

B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B12, B20, B38, B39, B40, B41, B46, B66, B71 (Some are listed as roaming bands. Not sure if they would work with a local sim or not or what that means)

GSM Arena says:

B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B12, B20, B28, B29, B40, B41, B66, B71

T-Mobile website says:

LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 20, 28, 29, 40, 41, 66, 71 (Same as GSM Arena)

Box and phone says:

1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,20,25,28,29,30,38,39,40,41,46,66,71
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Have you even looked to see if the bands missing from the version you want are even used where you would want to go? Have you looked to see what those bands are even used for/who they are used by? They may not even be relevant bands.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
Yes I did. For example according tmobile, lg, and gsm arena, it's missing LTE Band 8 which is needed for Truemove H in Thailand I believe so without it, the phone will still work but I probably won't have as good coverage. Other devices have that band listed.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
And do you use that carrier when you go to Thailand?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
Yes, otherwise I wouldn't of mentioned. This is a general observation that would affect many other people going to many other places as well assuming the band info online is correct. It's not a necessity to have all the bands to use your phone on other carriers but the service won't be as good.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
Can you check what bands the unlocked LG V30 shows supported by entering 5457#*300# in the dialer? I'm starting to think the specs online are all useless.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] feelfreetoblameme:
I wish I had one to check! Only available to preorder on B&H at the moment, with an expected delivery of December 5th. Sigh.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Right, but all those extra bands are enabled through the

"hidden menu" options.

Don't you think the "open market" US998 will also let you add more LTE bands?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaMagicTicket:
the box is usually correct, its all the companies developers that disables the bands not needed for their networks. Which makes it difficult to get the specs right for all the different variants. Thats why they should just list all the bands off the box, then say in bold your carrier may be blocking some bands.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
So in this case it's possible that T-Mobile \ LG are only listing some of the bands on their websites since the box and phone show otherwise? It's pretty sad when LG's and T-Mobile's sites don't even match. On LG's site they list some of the bands as "Roaming Bands" which could mean those bands only work in roaming mode? It's too bad they can't put out accurate complete information.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
For instance, it's well known the South Korean carriers' LG phones REALLY support most of the U.S. carrier LTE bands, even though the specs websites and South Korean carrier websites say differently. Many people from U.S. order LG phones off eBay from South Korea because those models often have better specs (like the LG G6 had quad DAC and more internal storage than U.S. LG G6) or receive OS updates first.

But it's hard finding specific information about exactly which bands. I just know from

word of mouth

. Someone yesterday asked me exactly which U.S. LTE bands were supported on the South Korean LG G6 PLus (the LG G6 on steroids released MONTHS later in mid-2017, and which FINALLY had all the specs in one phone), and I can't find an definitive source to answer that question. (There's three carriers and some may have more bands than the others.) I'm giving them the answer from an XDA user for regular G6.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septembersrain:
I'd venture a guess that the bands listed on the box and in the hidden menu are correct, however the ones not listed by T-Mobile or GSM Arena are probably bands you won't use here in the USA, so they leave them off the website?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
This is correct for the T-Mobile V30 H932SV. LG's information on what these phones actually support seems to be inaccurate. What T-Mobile lists on their site probably reflects their network as well as the most common bands used by their roaming partners. All of those bands can be enabled through the hidden menu code (enter through the default dialer): 277634#*#
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dliunatic:
Does anyone have the bands supported for the sprint v30+ based on what's on the box?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
It doesn't explain why the unlocked version would also be missing bands. According to BHPhoto, the unlocked version only has these bands LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 20, 25, 66

Other manufacturers don't seem to hide bands from the product listing so it seems dumb that LG does.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtbird:
How do we know if BHPhoto is selling the open market v30 or us cellular version?

The V30 listing and the new S8 Active listing on T-mobile's website are similar in the fact that they don't list all the bands. However, one can go to Samsung site to get a listing of all the bands which doesn't seem true for LG. Example:

T-Mobile LG V30 - LG website says:

B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B12, B20, B38, B39, B40, B41, B46, B66, B71 (15 bands)

T-Mobile S8 Active - Samsung website says:

B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B12, B13, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B66, B71, B38, B39, B40, B41 (20 bands)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Because they say they are.

And because they sell/sold open market versions of the other LG flagships.

B&H US998 won't even be available until December 5.

Screen shot of their website is in many threads and you can go see yourself.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] uzupan:
I just stop by the T Mobile store, all the bands mentioned were in the hidden menu by they were not all listed on the box, so that makes me wonder they are truly even available and working?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Some of those bands are not used by T-Mobile, so are not made available for users -- yet can be made available by carriers if needed.

New roaming agreement may be signed and those bands then activated by carriers.

If you were to stick a SIM card in from UK, I wonder if those bands would then be activated?

Or a T-Mobile SIM from another country? T-Mobile is not U.S. company,and does not just exist in U.S. Majority owned by Deutcsh Telecom (Germany) and that German company uses the T-Mobile brand is several European countries. U.S. T-Mobile is just the biggest presence of T-Mobile.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile

You can be a T-Mobile customer in Austria or wherever. Maybe all of T-Mobile phones have bands to be compatible in other countries...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] uzupan:
A couple of bands that I was interested is the Verizon band 13, ATT band 17, 30 which are in the hidden menu, but not on the box; I wonder if they would if someone put an AT&T Sim card in a unlocked a T-Mobile v30?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
LTE band 12 has LTE band 17. 17 is a subset of LTE band 12. Some sites even write it 12/17:
