  4. Hello, a frind of mine bought a LTE Huawei 4X (dual SIM) in China and he lives in Argentina. Unfortunately he did not notice that band 4, required for Argentina, had not been configured on such device and the phone only gets 2G network. Is there any chance (ie by rooting / installing a patch) to allow the device to be band 4 compatible?
    Thanks in advance,
    Fernando

    • Hi, the internal memory split as system and data. If internal storage is low after doing master reset, then maybe data partitions already full like photo and downloaded files. You have to backup all data and do master format again, but do not forget to choose Erase internal SD card content at your Huawei Honor 4X.

Please make sure you change your Huawei Honox 4X properly.

    • Hi, if your Huawei Honor 4X has been upgraded to newest Android version, then you can not easily roll back to downgrade the firmware to previous version, it will not work with OTA over the air, because Huawei will not prepare for that state. Some trouble may happen if you force your phone back with not standard conditions. What we are suggest right now, try to hard reset to reformat your Huawei Honor 4X / Play 4x to make the os back to factory default. It will remove all installed applications which were downloaded with old Android version. After your phone back to factory default with new OS, then you have to install the apps one by one from Google Play Store, it will find the apps with the same version of your Android version.
