It doesn't matter what KitKat 4.4.2 firmware you choose (B120, B125, B130, etc.) as long as it is for the Gold, Dual SIM Mate 7 TL10 model.

To access hidden option to ensure your data network will ALWAYS stay on 4G/LTE only (will not switch back and forth from 3G and 4G even with very low or no 4G/LTE signal), download 'Advanced Signal Status' (by Coding Creation Tools) app from the Google playstore to your Mate 7 TL10:
Here's the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo&hl=en
After downloading,
1. Launch/open the app
2. Scroll down to 'Additional Info'
3. Mark checkbox 'I promise I will not blame the developer...'
4. Tap 'OK'
5. Tap 'Phone information'
6. Tap SUB1 (Your 4G/LTE sim should be on SIM tray #1)
7. Scroll down to "Set preferred network type:"
8. Tap the 'drop down/list box' under the 'Set preferred network type'
9. Scroll down the list and choose option# 12 'LTE only'.
(Note: There are 13 possible network setting choices.)
After selecting 'LTE only' option, your data SIM in SIM tray #1 should remain fixed in '4G/LTE only'. You cannot receive calls in SIM #1 while 'LTE only' mode is selected.
This setting will remain in effect even if you turn off/restart your phone.
If you want to change this setting, just repeat steps 1-9 and choose another option.
This 'hidden menu' is useful if you have LTE DATA SIM in Sim tray #1 you use for
internet downloads/browsing and another personal CALL/TEXT SIM in Sim tray #2 you use
for calling and texting only. You can continue downloading at LTE speeds using SIM #1
while still receive calls and text and send calls and text on SIM #2.
This 'hidden menu' is only accessible in Mate 7 TL10 with 4.4.2 KITKAT.
The moment you update your Mate 7 TL10 to 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP, you will no longer be able
to access this menu and you will only have the 4 options below which can be accessed
by 'Settings ---> ...More ---> Mobile network --->Preferred network type':
1. LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto
2. WCDMA/GSM auto
3. WCDMA only
4. GSM only

Disappointed MT7user, 08 Oct 2015WARNING: Do not upgrade your Mate 7 TL10 (Gold, 3G RAM, dual SIM) to OFFICIAL lollipop 5.1.1 (... moreFor those who upgraded to the OFFICIAL lollipop 5.1.1 (MT7-TL10_Firmware_C900B324_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1) and regretted it because they can no longer set their dual sim phones to '4G LTE only' via Android's hidden 'advanced network settings' menu, here's how to go back to KitKat and regain this feature (which was disabled/locked by Huawei in Lollipop):
WARNING: BACKUP ALL IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE PERFORMING THIS OPERATION. ALL APPS, CONTACTS, MESSAGES, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, FILES, etc. ---EVERYTHING WILL BE ERASED. (Like buying a new phone.)
ALSO, these only work for those who have the TL10/Gold version of Mate 7 (3GB RAM, dual SIM), and running official Lollipop 5.1.1 (C900B324) EMUI 3.1:
REVERTING BACK TO KITKAT (FROM LOLLIPOP):
Step 1.
Download and Install 'Jazz-TL10 V100R001C900B308 Downgrade Package' from Huawei's Malaysia Website. (Copy 'UPDATE.APP' to 'dload' folder on your SD card, then do 'Local Upgrade'
Download Link:
http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=47724
Step 2:
After successfully installing downgrade patch in step 1, erase 'UPDATE.APP' in the 'dload' folder of your SD card and replace it with the 'UPDATE.APP' from the LATEST official 4.4.2 KitKat firmware [Huawei Mate 7 (MT7-TL10) Firmware V100R001C00B130_Android 4.4.2_EMUI 3.0], which can be downloaded from Huawei's Malaysia website.
Download Link:
http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=35105
Install the official KitKat firmware as in Step 1 (do 'Local Upgrade'). You will be able to access again Android's advanced 'hidden 'network settings' menu and now have the '4G LTE only' option back.
DISCLAIMER: PLEASE DO NOT BLAME ME IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE BY DOING THIS. IT SUCCEEDED IN MY Mate 7 phone but I cannot guarantee it will succeed in yours. Do at your own risk.

WARNING: Do not upgrade your Mate 7 TL10 (Gold, 3G RAM, dual SIM) to OFFICIAL lollipop 5.1.1 (MT7-TL10_Firmware_C900B324_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1) if you do not want to lose the ability to set data mode/data network to '4G LTE only'.
All android phones have a hidden 'network settings' menu where you can set data mode to '4G LTE only' even if it is not visible in the user interface (Mobile Network Settings - Preferred Network Mode). If '4G LTE only' mode is important to you, DO NOT UPDATE TO THIS LOLLIPOP firmware!
I made the biggest mistake of updating to Lollipop 5.1.1 (C900B324) from KitKat 4.4.2. After the update, access to the hidden android 'advanced network settings' menu has been denied. Permission to this very important android feature has been removed in the C900B324 Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware. It was present before in KitKat. Now I am left to choose 4 modes only:
1. 'LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto' which keeps switching back and forth between the very fast LTE and very slow WCDMA, even with moderately strong LTE signal (3 bars)
2. 'WCDMA/GSM auto'
3. 'WCDMA only' and
4. 'GSM only'
Huawei and Samsung should know that DUAL SIM phone users are not well served by this unnecessary restriction: the locking of android's advanced network modes/settings in dual SIM phones. Dual SIM phone users frequently use one SIM for calls and text (2G/3G auto) only and another SIM for data only ('4G LTE only') to maximize download speed while still not sacrificing ability to receive phone calls on the other SIM.
'LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto' is useful for SINGLE SIM phones only because choosing '4G LTE only' mode from the hidden android menu does not allow one to receive phone calls.
Bugs found so far in the official lollipop update:
1: If you choose 'wallpaper changer' apps (a live wallpaper) for your homescreen wallpaper, the translucent title bars in the default 'message/contacts/dialer' app will have a bad irregular color patch (dark irregular shaped color against a white/gray base color).
2. Built in wallpaper changing option does not work/does not function correctly.
3. Many Gestures don't work as intended.
Other comments: I hate EMUI 3.1 trying to be more and more like Apple's IOS. EMUI 3.1 looks even closer to IOS than did EMUI 3.0. Why can't Huawei be original or at least, just follow Google's material design if Huawei's designers have run out of design ideas? Material design in my Nexus 7 is way much better: more fluid, more beautiful and futuristic than Apple's IOS or any other Android OEM skin that tries to ape Apple's IOS. I am talking about you Huawei, and Lenovo: Stop aping Apple in your Android skins.
