Hi!
I'm having some problems with my signal, and I think it might be due to the baseband.
I live in Spain but I've bought a retde moto x on amazon, so I'm wondering, if I convert my retde to retEU (the version sold in Spain), could I have a better signal? And, is this even possible without bricking my phone?
Thank you all

"Even though these phones are not carrier branded they are still "tuned" for regions used. The DE phone is designed for Germany and if you live in Germany this would be your best bet.
Remember the carrier networks are still regulated by individual country - and the phones have to confirm to the gov't and carrier requirements. Things like network switching and fast dormancy requirements are different and could impact battery life.
I am sure there are differences in firmware - they would all be EU if not - no reason to name files different if the same. As for the phone differences - we don't have that information here. You should be able to find the regulatory body for each country and look up SAR values.
I would also add that there could be differences in software due to patent issues - and maybe the software has different components to avoid patent disputes.
As I mentioned at the beginning - you should buy the phone that is official for your region. If you save a few $$$ buying a different version then you may face interoperability issues. Yes GSM should work everywhere - but as someone that travels, I know that when I go to another network, all features may not work they way they do on my home network. "

Yes you can flash eu firmware. But considering you are in spain, I would recommend flashing the spain firmware retES instead:

I'm assuming if you did convert the phone, even from retDE to retEU, you would not be able to receive the "official" OTAs via the standard update process? Or is this not the case?

That is incorrect. He will be able to receive the official updates. However he will receive the retES updates instead of the retDE updates.

I remember my first days with OP 3T, CPU-Z have some errors in the info that it shows like battery capacity, it shows (last time I check it maybe now is fixed) 3000 mAh when it´s 3400 mAh for OP 3T. I recommend you AIDA64.
Cheers!!
Mine is also europe version A3003 ( belgium )
Same thing here also bro.

Then Europe Version A3003
A3003 supports LTE band 1/3/5/7/8/20/38/40
A3010 supports LTE band 1/3/5/7/8/38/39/40/41
I just bought myself an official Malaysian version and the warranty is covered by Brightstar. The model number is A3003 and bought it from Lazada Malaysia.
I'm from Bangladesh. I want to buy Oneplus 3T. Here only 3010 is available which is installed with Oxygen OS. As per wiki, 3003 is for Asia region and 3010 for China. China model basically installed with Hydrogen OS where as others are Oxygen. I also knew that 3010 can also be installed with Oxygen OS.
My question is since 3010 is not available in my country, should I buy 3010? If 3010 is installed with Oxygen will it be any issue (as 3010 is for China and for Hydrogen OS )?
Imo if the 3003 is for Asia region, you should get that one. Have you looked at each models frequency capabilities vs your countries mobile providers frequencies?
Edit: which model is currently offered in your country? That's the one I would get.
Check first with WillMyPhoneWork website.
frequency band is ok. Need to know where there will be any performance impact if Oxygen is installed in 3010 model.

There shouldn't be. Aside from their radio, every other component between the models are identical. An A3010 flashed with OOS will perform the same as an any of the other models that came preloaded with OOS.
there is only 1 frequency difference , you won't feel the difference, buy whatever you want
I'm thinking of buying this phone from a seller in Singapore. The 3T sold in Asia (apart from China) appear to be the same model number as those sold in the UK. Does that mean if I buy the 3003 3T from Singapore it will work on all networks here? Thanks!

What a question..
It doesn't matter from where are you buying it.
It only matters to support EU bands.
3003 is the correct model for EU.

Thanks for the answer! It just seems odd that they'd make it this way, I don't know of any other company that would allow for this, especially since it'd just encourage importing.

Well, since this phone isn't sold like most other phones in local stores, instead it's sold directly from the design-company. Especially now when OnePlus has stopped selling them, now we have to buy directly from the producers (Aliexpress) or from stockpilers/resellers on Ebay. So yeah, this is an import phone either way and, ao it's up to us buyers to choose the direct band-locked modell.
Also, there's actually no physical difference in the models which is important to know. Only in software which locks which bands that it will connect to.

First of all, just press the thank button. No reason to thank through posts.
Secondly, all of Chinese phones are being sold through 3rd online resellers like Banggood, geekbuying, gearbest etc. It's not only for oneplus phones.

I've been using a Chinese variant of the 3T in Sri Lanka for almost 6 months mate. You're good to go.

so i am using galaxy note 5 currently, and now i decided to buy OP3T as it has a lot of customization + NetHunter.
i am deciding to buy 128GB version of OP3T. and want to ask some questions if anyone can answer them.
1. how good is this phone's camera comparing to Samsung Note 5 ? (specially in dark) on gsmarena it looks better than note 5, but how is it in real life if anyone has compared the two?
2. any special model of 3T to avoid or to look for? for the best of xda support?
3. any special bootloader/firmware to avoid ? like sometimes its better to buy the oldest bootloader for highest support on xda. and sometimes it doesn't matter if device's dev are very active in supporting latest firmwares?
4. as i always stayed on samsung phones, it gives a good code *#0*# to test all functions of phone. is there anything i can use to test OP3T when buying?
and others that you can think of suggesting me? so i don't regret after buying something i shouldn't have?
thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
1) Camera is decent esp with the google camera port with HDR+
2) all models are the same. Just make sure you get the one for your region (proper bands)
3) all software versions give you the ability to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery
4) not sure
4) *#808#

Not all models are the same.
For European users and better coverage of bands, model 3003 is recommended.

They're physically the same, only difference is in the band locking configuration files in the encrypted partition.
But yes, you should of course choose the one that comes with the most suited bands for your region (A3000 for US, A3003 for EU/international and A3010 for Asia).

So, you are claiming that a 3010 can be flashed to 3003 and vice versa?
Any links that back up this claim?

If it weren't for the fact that the band locking is in an encrypted partition which is factory programed and not affected by any ROM flashing, we could if it wasn't for the encryption.
The reason why certain bands can't be active on phones in certain regions had to do with those bands being used by for example the army/govermental agencies, so they're not allowed to make a phone be able to use all bands all over the world.

1) Haven't owned one, but claim that they are pretty even
2) All are the same
3) None are to avoid I'd say. You can always change the firmware the way you want it anyway
4) Just have a second with that and feel yourself how beastly the device is
thank you so much for all of your replies.

Hi, I'm from Pakistan as well and I'm using Oneplus3T Asia variant (A3010) which is working perfectly for me. Global/Eu variant might be compatible with only a few networks and bands over here so I recommend you buy A3010 version.

give me yours or exchange with my note 5 :fingers-crossed:
i'm from LHR too.
i never understood correctly what is that frequencies of Paki networks, always confused.
i use ufone and zong.
have you tried NetHunter on your version? what is that version? global or europe/asia? i only see two models on gsmarena. are there more?
by any chance is that not a korean / chinese ?

I will only ever exchange my 3T for a newer 3T
You can find all the bands supported by all the networks in Pakistan over at Wikipedia. In your case, ufone and zong should work fine on the A3010/China variant just like me.
There are in fact 3 variants of the OP3T based on different regions. All three have the same hardware apart from the frequency bands obviously.
A3000 (US model)
A3003 (EU/Asia)
A3010 (China)
The global version listed on GSM is the A3003. Both A3003 and A3010 will work fine on your networks. Btw where are you buying from?
As for Kali Nethunter, I have never personally used it. However, it does not matter which variant of the phone you have, it will work on all of them in the same way just as almost all mods and custom roms work universally on all versions.
ok so i bought OP3T A3003 128GB. all bands i wanted are working on it. and im very happy.
its on Android 7.1.1 already.
now i want to root it and install twrp.
any recommendations?
after used samsung odin mode. i dont know what mode op3t has if anything goes wrong (soft brick) to restore official firmware?
also because i don't currently have internet so i have to go to a friend to download stuff. please recommend all the tools i require to unbrick my device if something goes wrong and i dont have internet.
thanks

why i keep seeing that screen on when i start phone. it says your device has been unlocked ans can't be trusted.
it started after i unlocked bootloader.
how can i get rid of that? it says if u want to not see this screen then lock bootloader. so if i lock bootloader will my root and recovery remain?
