[Q] Who owns a Chinese OnePlus One? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
I'm currently residing in China and have purchased a Chinese OnePlus One. From my understanding the only difference is that I cannot use LTE and some 3G in America. Is everything else the same? Can I still flash any of these roms on this Chinese Version and not have any problems?
Please let me know any thoughts on the Chinese OnePlus One. I also heard that the yellow screen problem doesn't exist on the Chinese variant.
Regards,
Viper

As far as I've read the only difference is the frequency bands, you can still unlock the bootloader and flash any ROM you like. Not sure about the yellow screen issue on the chinese variant, thought it would have affected all (or portions of) all variants as they would be manufactured in the same place.
With regards to the frequency bands, the below thread is worth a look.

Hello Gsmyth,
Thank you for the quick reply. That was one of my only concerns. I'll cross my fingers and hope that there are no problems upon its arrival.

Hey Guys,
i'm still interested to hear from anyone who owns a Chinese One Plus though. I want to know their own experience with the Chinese variant.
Regards,
Viper

I am using chinese version.
I flashed almost all rom..hehehehe

I'm using the Chinese version, same hardware, everything is the same, i have touch screen issues just like half of Oneplus community. So this confirms that both variants been manufactured at the same place with the same hardware.

Not necessarily, a great deal of the grey sellers that sell the Chinese version online pre-load CM onto the device before sale. The one true way to tell the difference is this: the international version has Cyanogen branding on the back cover, the Chinese version does not.

The newest Phones shipped by OnePlus don't have the Cyanogen Logo either.
If I have a white 64gb Version, it is bound to be a Chinese one right?
Are there any disadvantages between the chinese version and the international one?

The chinese version does not support US AT&T LTE (Band 4 & 17 I believe?) due to a hardware difference. I personally ordered a 1+ from Amazon that ended up being the chinese version vs the international, and was able to activate the bands necessary for AT&T LTE through software, but it did not connect to them due to the hardware difference. Other than that, they are practically the same device!

I don't even have lte where I live and I don't plan on getting it so it doesn't matter so much for me.
Thanks for the info!
I'm pretty happy with my chinese one then, as I really wanted both 64gb and white, and it was only 250€ so it's even a little cheaper. I didn't buy from amazon though but a small local store.
Glad I could help! Enjoy it! I can't wait to get mine back. Leaps and bounds above the Note Edge I have now.

Take that with a grain of salt. I know people who have bought one recently and it still shows the Cyanogen branding on the rear cover. Perhaps it was an Indian version in that image, those units are "international" but they can't have the logo for legal reasons. All other international units still have the branding afaik.

Thanks for the links. My friends must have purchased just before the change occurred. Pretty stupid move on their part, now there's no real way to tell the international and Chinese variants apart.

GM1910 or GM1913 in Australia?

Hey guys!
I'm in Australia, and looking at 2 versions of the OP7pro.. A GM1910 with flashed OS, or the GM1913 which i understand is the official international version.
Is there any risk with either? I'm assuming they both have the correct bands and should be no issues.
Thanks in advance for any help :good:
I bought the GM1910 via ebay, and everything works fine.
It comes with OOS flashed.
As far as I know the Chinese version GM1910 and international versions all have the same bands. American variant is the only one that has different (more) LTE bands. You can switch to OOS from HOS by simply placing OOS update zip to sdcard, going to OTA update menu and run a local upgrade. I got mine(8+256) from the offical Chinese Oneplus website for about an equivalent of 655 USD tax and shipping (China domestic shipping) included.
I got the 1910 with hos. I flashed oos on it and it's been great. Only issue I have is no volte or vowifi
Got the GM1910 too on Boost/Telstra. OOS 9.5.8 is going awesomely
those with the gm1910, do you have wifi issues with custom kernels and havoc?
GM1917 here, works perfectly. I got it from the US store using Shopmate to forward to Australia.
Google Pay working?
Hey guys, I am planning to buy the OP7 pro GM1910 but got a question. After flashing with OOS all the SafetyNet features are working properly? I mean Google Pay works with no issues? I am worry I will not be able to use Google Pay or even download Netflix as it happens when flashing with Lineage OS or similar, thanks.
1910 here, everything works fine on Optus, including Google pay ect as asked above me.
Oh that sounds great, another quick question. What about the OTA updates, security patches and OS updates are they arriving with no issue? Or do you need to flash it again when a new OS update arrive? I just read that One Plus is actively updating their OS to do some improvements on the 7 Pro

Do the curved edges on the screen become annoying when watching youtube/netflix or do you guys thinks this is a one up compared to the Xiaomi mi 9t pro or the asus zenfone 6?

I've tried the ZenFone 6 and have always ended up back at the OP7 pro, the edges aren't aggressive with the curves, but there there, and definitely not annoying. With a case on it you can easily hold the phone without touching the screen while watching a video ECT. It's good ?

Yes, I've had this with Smurf kernel.
You should flash the wifi fix version or in the Smurf kennel config file, apply wifi fix and then flash the kernel again.

Basebands for OP7 and OP7 Pro interchangeable?

Hey folks;
I have a OP7 GM1900 Chinese version running global rom out of the box. I am using it in Canada (Bell Mobility) where the bands seem to be compatible, but I am getting weak LTE reception and it seems that other folks are reporting similar. I am thinking that the baseband support is not tuned for North America on the OP7 but is on the Pro?
Out of curiosity, since the OP7 and 7 Pro are running the same chipset and the Pro is being sold here....is it possible that flashing the baseband from the 7 Pro on a 7 is advisable? I have some experience with flashing roms etc. from my Samsung days but this might be out of my league, but wondering if this is something likely that we will see devs or modders try at some point?

It could be, but you have any specific reasons why it would be? Again, the OP7's radio is not optimized for North America, while the Pro is. They are both running the same chipset.
Back when I had my Galaxy Note 1 the radio support was horrible for Canada and LTE didn't work at all. Folks here on XDA extracted the ATT modem and solved the issue for us Canadians until a proper update came out. I thought it was a good idea and a smart thing to do, and I am wondering if it's likely that the same could happen here as a lot of people are importing the OP7 and specifically, the Chinese one which is cheaper. This kind of tinkering is in the spirit of XDA, I thought.
OP7 global baseband
I have the same problem When i want To connect To LTE band in my country ,
Did u find any solution ????
Can i change my baseband to global version ?
You should post this question in xda OP7 pro forum as well. That one is more active.

OnePlus 8 (IN2010) Chinese Bands vs Europe

Hello,
i would just like to know if OnePlus 8 (China version) is good enough to support 4G LTE in EU, does it have all the bands required? I've read about "band 28" which it lacks and that this will be used for 5G? I don't care for 5G (yet), so my question is, will it work for everything else, is it good enough, i'm from Slovenia if that helps, i've been checking the bands, but i'm too confused to know what to think about this, those are too confusing for me, i've been checking them, but i'm just not sure, i think it should be fine, but i'm not 100% sure, so if anyone who knows this stuff can tell me, or even better, someone who has that OnePlus 8 phone can tell me, that would be great (=
Greetings
I have just ordered a CN version for use in the UK and from what i have read it lacks 1 frequency (band 32 i think) which from what i'm aware o2 in UK doesn't use .... Is this correct anyone? (Sorry if this a thread hijack)

Hi, just to be sure we're on the same page, I read that IN2010 is the international version (5 4gLTE bands support) and IN2020 is the Chinese one, which is missing one band used here in Europe.
Are you sure IN2010 is Chinese ?

Oh thx, I didn't see that one coming , so I have 2 questions : where to search for those infos (regional variants numbers I mean) and is this a software matter or a hardware matter ? (Will there be missing/China specials bands in it or it's just software)
Edit:
Are there any global version of the OnePlus 8, if so what would be its regional variant name ?

I just use google to find out a variant. The main differences are hardware related, specifically the bands of the device. There is also a chinese version of Oxygen OS which is called Hydrogen OS , but this can change easily by flashing global unlocked OxygenOS without any compromises.
Here you can learn more about the bands in each version : https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/g1rm7e/oneplus_8_pro_versions_and_4glte_and_5g_nr/
Edit: I think there is not a global version bandwise. (US, Europe, India and China as far as i know )

Hi,
Thanks for all this clarification, indeed I've been kinda fooled by marketing speech...
I've bought the OnePlus 8 not on the OnePlus website but on another one, and the announce said "OnePlus International Version IN2010", I was like "cool, plus it's cheap, let's get this".
Now I understand the business behind the whole website (a French one): they buy in China, flash the global rom manually and sells it cheaper, but make a little margin on the final price. That's why they call it international, just because of the ROM!
I knew (but still wanted confirmation) about missing bands a HydrogenOS and now I fully understand the market scheme. So I'll be missing B28 band (used in France with my career for 4G LTE)and an EU-compatible charger. No big deal but I'm kinda disappointed in myself, not being able to see through marketing speech and candidly trusting attractive prices... Well, we learn as we make mistakes (and I'm not ready to forgot that one).
One last think, kil-movil had a section for the OnePlus 8 called "Global" with every bands marked as available, and the model number was still IN2010. I guess they're part of the deal, since when I clicked on "see offers" I was redirected to the website I bought it in.
Even the seller was lying as he said "compatible with every bands in France". And when people ask, he was denying it every single time
Thanks for your explanations tho, I'll be able to warn the next ones at least.

Yup don't worry, I can return it and having all my money back but I don't think I will, my Nextbit Robin (daily driver) is dying and not having B28 4G out of 4 other antennas available isn't a big deal. I have only 50 Mo of data so I don't use 4G often. I would have been bothered by the charger but the seller claims (if it's not a lie) that he gives us an adapter. (Comments says he does, so hopefully he'll do)
Right now the only thing I have to do is getting past the disillusionment with some good music. Have you any title to recommend?

Device differences

Hello all,
I need to upgrade my current phone and I will probably be buying a OP8T, for my daily needs the 8/128 version is more then enough.
So i have a question about the differences between this version and the 12/256 regarding rooting/unlocking bootloaders/installing new roms.
Are the devices considered equal regarding the procedures for rooting/installing new roms, etc?
Im trying to find out if theres is more support for one version then the other so i can choose what to buy.
Thank you for the help.

There is no difference for rom support or unlocking/rooting between the 8/128 or 12/256 models from the same regions. Every device can easily be unlocked and converted between different rom versions as well.
Only difference is the TMobile locked version from USA that are more difficult to unlock and convert (need to be sim unlocked from T-Mobile first).
The only other hardware difference between models from various regions is that they support different LTE /5G bands and that can't be changed by the user in anyway. So might be worth looking into if you consider buying from another region. But for the same region there shouldn't be a difference between 8/128 or 12/256 versions the phones have the same hardware except ram and memory storage
Hi.
Thank you for the reply.
I was looking at the Chinese version 12/256 that is quite cheapper than the European version. But i found out about the LTE/5G bands as you say and i decided to go with the European version (or the version that Amazon sells in Europe).
I will be going with the 8/128 then.
Again, thank you for the help.

Glad to be of help.
I bought a 8/128 GB EU version directly from oneplus before Christmas and haven't regretted it.
Right version is probably a more safe choice but I know people that have bought Chinese versions as well and is very happy with that. The phone will still work but you probably won't get the same coverage and speed if all band your provider used isnt supported.
I would compare the bands and see what suits you best.
