Australian vs. Global? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidentally flashed LMY47I instead of LMY47D, which appears to fit my needs Global, as I'm in the US not Australia. Everything seems to run just fine, any difference or need to flash the Global version?

they are all the same, the factory images. any of them should work right.

Appreciate that, curious as why Australia would get their own build? I understand a carrier, but not one country.

UK Nexus 6 asking me to update to 5.1.1, should I?

I'm on the o2 UK Network and running android 5.1 LMY47D it's asking me to update to 5.1.1 but I don't know if I should because the only 5.1.1 ROM's I've seen have been US Carrier Specific, not sure what to do, help?
You wouldn't be offered the update if it wasn't relevant. The ones on the Nexus Factory images website, suggest they are US carrier specific but that is not really the case. The difference with some Nexus 6 in the US is that the carriers must approve the updates before they are rolled out. When they say Sprint / USC only for example, that means out of the american carriers, only they can use this build. Most of the updates are international generic. So yes, update

I flashed build 47z to mine (also o2, uk) and has been working fine for over a week
(edit)
I did manage to find the upgrade path for various countries around the world, which of course I can't find now. Try a Google for that, it makes it much clearer

Here too (Netherlands).
I waited for the OTA update. Before the update N6 was running LMY47D and after update LMY47Z.
The factory image LMY47Z is marked 'For Sprint USC only', but it is working without issues.

LMY47Z works fine on all American carriers. I have had it on Verizon with zero issues since the day the factory image was released. Before that I used the LYZ28E "T-Mobile specific" build on Verizon and also had no issues.

Yes it does. Every single factory image works on every single Nexus 6. The reason it is marked up as this is the latest updates for T-Mo and Verizon add carrier specific things like WiFi calling and better VoLTE respectively. So the recommendation is if you are in the US, those images are for SPRINT / USC only.

Right but it was confusing. Especially outside the US.
I did not flash a factory image but waited for the OTA.
After receiving the OTA message and installing the update I found out that the version LMY47D was updated to LMY47Z.

Difference in China version vs international version?

Where I live there's both for sale. Is there a difference when it comes to custom Roms? Are they both compatible with the same ROMS and kernels

The difference is in the lte bands. Better look, what bands you need in your country.
In term of custom roms, both are same.

Yes, i have a China variant of the 3T, came with Hydrogen OS but i flashed Oxygen OS over it, dont need any alterations in the recovery or any other special permissions, just follow this instructions:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_3.5.4/
What's the easiest way to check the band on a phone? I think I've got a Chinese phone instead of EMEA

As a Chinese, I can clearly inform you that there is no difference between the China version and the international version.
You can flash HydrogenOS or OxygenOS anytime。

Is it possible to reflash to get north Americans bands?
I have two op3, one I ordered directly from op+ the other from Amazon.. I'm in Canada. The first place one works fine, the other doesn't with working Sim.. I noticed the one that doesn't work has Chinese writing after the English on the back label..
Long story short, is it possible to change the software of flash the Chinese one so I get it to work?

Hardware is different between US, EU and China, you can however run HydrogenOS and OxygenOS on all variants but it won't change the modem channel support as it's hardware restricted.

Does this mean the guides to unlocking additional bands here on xda won't work? I was reading up on these. I believe It's UMTS BAND 4 I'm missing. Is there any way I can run a command or query the device somehow to compare the difference between my working op3 and the defunct one?

US Version of ROG Phone 2. Can I root with WW kernel?

Just received my US version ROG 2 and I would like to root. But my kernel build number doesn’t match with the WW or CN kernals. Should I just wait?
Where did you get it from?
Phones like the Pixel 3 which can be sold from a carrier (like Verizon or T-Mobile), will usually have the bootloader permanently locked on the carrier-sold models. This is so the carrier does not have to endure additional RMAs due to people messing up their rooted phones. But since the Rog Phone II is not sold by any carriers, I would think that the Bootloader unlock tool they have already published would be made available for the US version as well. They might speed things up if you can find a way to get in touch with US support and point it out. The Asus online chat is very awful though seems to be entirely overseas staff reading from scripts with no autonomy. At least with Google Pixel there's some US-based call centers. If anyone finds a direct line of communication with the US team I'd be interested to see it.

I bought mine (US 512/12) directly from Asus, just got it Monday.
Is there anything that makes the WW version superior to the US version? Would it still have use of all the frequencies if US hardware was flashed to WW?
Got mines from asus store. Received it yesterday 9/30.
I prefer not to flash WW version and keep my US version but if there’s no difference than im waiting for no reason. So yeah if anybody could tell me what’s the difference in us version and ww version I’m all ears.

That's the first I heard of that. I really doubt that the US version has extra frequencies in hardware though; maybe flashing the US radio to CN/WW phones will enable the couple extra frequencies?

Is the US radio image the exact same file/checksum as WW?

Do not try crossflashing before taking a proper backup via Qfil first, just to keep u safe if things go wrong.

Change from G7810 to G781B Please help me

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to convert Hong Kong variant of S20 FE 5G (SM-G7810) to European version (SM-G781B). What I have to do?
Please help me!
it is impossible to do
I am interested too, since I bought a SM-G780 model, which will be delivered to me in the next few days and I would like to carry out the same operation, I have already downloaded the Italian CSC ITV firmware SM-G781B; through Odin, can it be done? The phones have the same features, same processor, change the RAM which in the SM-G780 is 8GB, while in the SM-G781B it is 6GB. Thanks.

do not give people false hope, this method will not work.

Voice HD+ (EVS full band 128kbit/s) you only need to correct the configuration a little.
And flash G7810 to G781B - not possible!

I still have to receive the smartphone, I found the difference between the G7810 and G781global on this forum.
So what are the substantial differences then? And is it possible to put a Firmware / Global Rom while keeping the original phone, that is, without root and with OTAs?

I don't understand what you are trying to say.
First you pasted some screenshot without showing second one for global version (for which rom is it?)
Once you say it will work then you say it won't
As to WiFi calling I am using it all the time at home with Chinese version.

Perfect. While the Google PlayStore, and other services work? There are no problems or report at the software level I mean!
Because for my country Italy, the frequencies of use of the G7810 are fine! So I was more interested in removal or software related problems!
Thanks a lot for the answer
its not posibil to do that and you dont need to do it you will get the update later in february.
Today arrived my 7810. As I need to be avle to use phone-recording I always did the CSC-trick trouwgh the THL-roms on S8, S9, S10 etc.
Therefore I am curious if there is a way to make phone recording work native as described above, or through app as ACR-call recorder on THY ( Hongkong-ROM).
For hardware the difference between 781B ( Global) & 7810 (Hongkong & China) is 6 GB vs 8GB.
That's probably why people think it is possible to flash other ROM into 7810 .

First have you forgotten the fack this is an international forum, where english isnt for a lot of people tghier first language. And secondly being insulting helps no one.
If you can a technical reason as to why the OP can't just flash a G781B stock rom to his G7810 device, that would more productive. Will it for example just not work and soft-brick his device requiring flashing back to G7810 firmware etc..?

Ofcourse I'm not sure about HIS, but MINE is also a 7810 Hong Kong version with 8 GB.
ALL European sold S20 FE 5G are 6 GB.
So what are the software differences within the sm-g7810 and the sm-g781B because i want to buy this phone too.

I'm thinking of buying the hongkong version from Canada. The process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting will be easier in this version right? Will the custom ROMs be compatible with the 8 GB hongkong version?
Otherwise I will go with the Canadian version.
