Hi Guys, just changed up from my Optimus 3D to a nice new white Note.
Was looking at the flash files etc.
My Firmware is the Europe Version, I think ??
Whats the difference between Europe and Open Europe.
My phone was unlocked from when I got it so I know its not that thats different
Does any have benefits over the other.
Would I be better with the Open Europe to receive ICS first when it does finally get released. ?
Cheers
Dean

I have a 2x bought in Spain but with the latest UK stock rom and a UK sim because it's where I live. I try every day to check for new updates but it finds none saying I'm updated to the last version.
Will I get the update when it's released in the UK or when Vodafone Spain releases it?

Most probably you will get it from Spain, since updates are related to your phones IMEI and baseband!

Fortunately, all official ROMs are multilingual, so I suggest these few hints to get official ICS on your phone. It works very well, I use it untill CM10 and CM10.1 get the calls right.

I used option 2, for rooting, it works like a charm
Good luck and merry christmas.

No,not for Egypt. Only for a few European Countries.
You can use the official from one of the European countries,but GPS might not work (might take a while to get lock or not at all), but everything else should work.
It should not be long before more countries release since it's only a few changes that are necessary for it too work with different operators and different countries GPS. If they release you can update your phone with the LG PC Suite (Nice and big update firmware button somewhere in there).
aha thanks alot man im waiting

Different, updated, versions of the same thing released at slightly later dates. If you manage to find a website with the differences then let us know mate.
Otherwise, either flash the correct 'Official' version for your area, or the latest Euro Open, or give up them all and play around with Cyanogenmod to set your phone free

diiferences are very minor, such as no tone for camera button on 20b hk, or some region specific apps. nothing major. well, 20A has homescreen rotation that 20B doesn't. anyway, very very minor differences.
How about flashing another update (20c for example), is the custom recovery going to be ersed?
Yep, you're gonna have to reroot and reinstall recovery
And what happens with the bootloader ?? is it going to be unlocked I flash 20c for example, and how about v10 firmwares too?

bootloader will stay unlocked between 20x versions. you can flash 10x firmware with lgflashtool, bootloader will show as locked, but when/if you show 20x again, you'll be unlocked again.
my phone says: software version p88020b-446-92
Is that the open Euro version?
I bought it in Europe from LG distributor, but still i want to make sure.
Thinking of using the official LG bootloader unlock procedure.
I've noticed that we have a few Chinese users here and I was wondering what stock rom the phone has since we don't have a stock Chinese firmware, nor a stock firmware with even the Chinese language. Do ya'll get them with CM from the carrier over there? or do ya'll have a different stock than whats available here?
Thanks
I'm curious and this has always bugged me.

I dont think we have stock Chinese firmware since this phone is mainly focused on only some markets. even in my country (Vietnam), we're neighborhood of China but I still must buy an ATT one which is bought by shipping from US
Correct me if I'm wrong but if we have, more choices are better

That sucks. I was, and still am, hoping that perhaps there's another stock firmware floating around somewhere. Later in its life the Defy started getting more and more Chinese users and firmwares, some of which were done in a way that it enabled us to flash custom roms if we screwed up and took an OTA that blocked the hacks. The first Atrix even had a leaked Chinese ICS even though it was never officially supposed to be past Gingerbread. With the Chinese and Asian users here, I was hoping an Asian carrier might have released or is using a different stock firmware than what we already have....maybe that's not the case and they're all just importing like you.
I am Chinese ,but I like to use a English firmware .it can help to improve my English skill .

If that is the case. When you buy a Chinese Atrix HD do you get it with a Chinese firmware or did you had to flash an US firmware?

if the phone is popular in China , the storekeeper will hire someone to develop the Chinese package so that we can get the Chinese interface .
MB886 is popular ,so it has the Chinese package at first ,after unclock the bootloader , they also translate other rom into Chinese,like slim,beanstalk and so on .
if the phone has Chinese interface ,it can sells in higher price .
I used to bought a moto XT881, it is very cheap because no Chinese interface .
Ohhh i see. Thanks for sharing. So in other words the phone do get stock version same as ours.
Hello, total noob here. So recently got a p20 pro, and is loving it so far. However, I got the Chinese firmware version C00. From my understanding, there is a US T-Mobile version. I was wondering, how can I go about changing it? Does it involve flash or something like that? Any help would be great!

I put this list together to illustrate the different variants of this phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/huawei-p20-pro-variants-t3797524
The phone you have is probably the AL00. This phone is not sold in the US because of political unrest between US Congress and Huawei. There is no 'T-Mobile version', nor are there any US versions. However, I can confirm that the L29 works perfectly here in the United States even though it uses Asia Pacific branded firmware.
Are you having any problems with software on the phone? If not, just root and enjoy!
Hey. Currently I'm running AL01 I was wondering if you have a guide to switch to the international version. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like nsilva.android was able to flash AL01 to L29 via this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...-to-root-debrand-remove-retail-t3788326/page8
Check out some of his responses before that page - but it looks like its possible.
I will be attempting sometime int he next week. I'll try to get an instruction set together
