Rebrand Chinese OnePlus 7 to EU OnePlus 7

Oppo/OnePlus rip us off in EU, so we need to pay about 200€ more than China (no price drop for us) and get half of the storage and less RAM.
My question is (I never did this before): When I get the chinese variant of the OnePlus 7 aka GM1900 and flash over stock recovery from GM57 to GM57BA, it will still stay a GM1900 and not change to GM1903 (EU model number) but
1. Widevine L1 or L3?
2. VoLTE/Wifi-Calling?
3. Google Play Certification?
Don't get me wrong but with shipping, tax, a second charger, a KFZ charger and a second dash cable + double storage I will safe over 100€
Did somebody try it or maybe flash to Global Version (India)?

google certificate is there even in hydrogen os ...

This also crossed my mind too...
I’d be interested in the responses.
What would the warranty be like?

@engrmudassar
I didn't know that you got Google Play on Hydrogen OS
@MarylandCookie
When you get it on shops like Tradinshenzen, you get warranty, if you get it on shops like Banggood oder Gearbest, you just get the device.
The big problem here is you need to pay about 15€ shipping on Tradingshenzen and PayPal +3%, so it's about 491€ at the end. On Banggood you can now pre-order for 446€ with shipping and tax.
I think I will get mine over eBay, can pay with PayPal and will safe +150€. Something get broken and it's still under 150€ to fix it, it's still a win.

I’m guessing your referring to the repair costs in Poland?

I can repair anything by myself. If the mainboard say goodbye u assed up, for the rest it's unreal cheap.

just install the google play apk on Hydrogen os and it shows that devices is certified unlike xiaomi phones ... i guess its something to do with the pre install google play services in hydrogen os

GooglePlay service has already been put in Hydrogen os，but you can't find any google app on the launcher screen. You need to creat a google account so that the google services will be available. Then you can install any google apps as your wish.

I got myself OnePlus 7 from China because of the red color Phone is reflashed with Oxygen OS and OTA works.
1. Widevine L1 or L3?
Widevine L1 is supported. Netflix runs - looks like the regular cap at 720p.
2. VoLTE/Wifi-Calling?
It's not officially supported with my carrier but I successfully enabled it after sideloading newer version of oemlogkit I was able to enable it. (And verified it works).
3. Google Play Certification?
Yep, no problem. I also used Google Pay (via NFC) when paying.

I've bought one from TradingShezhen (GM1900). It was significantly cheaper - £420 for the 8gb/256GB in Red (£549 in UK). I bought a second hand dash charger from Ebay. (Note, need to use the red cable that comes with the OP7 - or dash charging doesn't work using older dash charging cables)
They installed the global rom(AA) and out of the box, I had VoLTE/VoWifi working with Three UK. Options exist in SIM settings.
I decided I wanted to use the EU Rom(BA), so cross flashed straight away. This was easy, just downloaded the latest OP7 Rom from Oneplus - dumped it into the root of internal storage and did a local upgrade.
Google Play all working fine.
The model number does not change - it stays GM1900 and still gets OTA.

What about LTE frequencies? Thx

Yes. Didn't have to do anything. Working by default. That could be as I'm using Three UK who now have a deal with OP.

Thanks
I'm with Three UK too. Waiting for phone to arrive

What is the difference between Global rom(AA) & EU rom(BA)? Why did you switch to EU rom(BA)?
Nevermind for I have found the answer:
EU ROM comes with slightly less preinstalled apps as well as search app & browser selection.
There is no way to downgrade to a older version without unlocking the bootloader and manually flashing via fastboot or TWRP.

I have Global ROM and I like that I don't see the annoying high volume popup over and over. Isn't it a case with EU ROM?

Isn't it enough to disable/ignore the high volume popup just once? Personally I really liked the high volume warning, yet once you go over the recommended levels you'd never see the same high volume popup again!

There isn't one man. I suggested EU updates for us here in USA but they have some odd 5g experiences I had happen. It would be super good or non existent. I used the msm tool and reflashed stock global to both slots, no more issues. So just wait it out. I'll capture it asap and share. For now update the latest oneplus system update apk from apk mirror so you are ready to local upgrade. Install it and you get a local upgrade option. The most recent global ota I have which it isn't called North American, but global is the one in the pic.

I'm looking to buy this phone to upgrade my waaaaaaay out of date OnePlus One! Lol! Is there really a difference between the different variants (eg. KB2000, KB2001, KB2003, KB2005) cause I believe the KB2005 is the north american one but from what I've been reading that the 5g band support are through firmware and not hardware (except mmWave bands which require a different antennae). What I'm trying to ask is, if I bought the KB2003 for example, could I flash what would be required for it to work on the bands that the KB2005 come with? Or am I not understanding something correctly here? I appreciate any help with this! I'm kind of trying to future proof a little so that's why I'm worried about the 5g, I was looking into the 7T Pro Mclaren 5g HD1925 and from what I've seen it received the update to support the SA bands on T-Mobile. Any inputs on what device I should get?

Don't be misled by t-mobile variants. Never pan out any positive vs the international variants. It's not called a North American variant, but global. I live in Ohio and buy from oneplus, it's the global variant, the kb2005. Go with it. Mclarens are typically problematic for development. I have two dev friends who have them and haven't been very thrilled with them.

this is the link for 11.0.3.4KB05AA
PS: It's the incremental update zip, not the full OTA.

Just install Oxygen Updater. Been using it for years across 3 different OnePlus phones...works great...got the latest update = 11.0.3.4.KB05AA this morning here in Texas, USA. No problems.

I think we are stock with the TMobile variant...

Until find a similar way to fully convert the T-Mobile oneplus 8t to a fully pledge international/global edition with everything working 100% and nothing missing not even aesthetically as prior oneplus devices we are stuck here with this ****ty variant.

It's actually missing AOD

guys, I flashed the EU build with no issues. Granted, the oneplus 8t has been out for a month. I'm going to speak for myself and thank the devs for assisting me with the conversion that we have now. We're dealing with tons of patchwork and limited resources. Patience, people. =)

Not sure if this is a great comparison.... but I purchased two Xiaomi 12s from a retail store in China (so CN rom). I used them in Australia (still with CN rom) with local sims and they worked perfectly fine. I recently flashed them with Global rom and they're still working completely fine.
Hope that helps.

Why it shouldn't? There's no simlock.

General Google delivers Android 13 December 2022 update for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro

Google delivers Android 13 December 2022 update for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
Google has announced a major feature update for Pixel smartphones running Android 13. As of the December 2022 update, the likes of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro support a dedicated reader mode and can share digital car keys with other compatible smartphones, among other changes.
www.notebookcheck.net

I put mine on the beta channel release. Coming from a P6P, using straight talk, it would not accept the sim.
Called Straight talk, which was useless. They said I had to buy a new sim card. Saw on a thread here that the
beta channel rom fixed it. Sure enough! After reboot, the sim card worked!

I was expecting 5g update, disappointing...

Nothing here. UK Sim free.

I wouldn't hold your breath. They either chose horrible hardware, don't know how to fix it, or won't because we will buy a new Pixel. With that being said, I actually think that the 7 Pro is an improvement over the 6 pro. My battery and performance is dramatically improved because of the updated Tensor chip and I don't have the cell standby bug that plagued me in the 6 pro.

This isn't the full release notes.

That article from notebookcheck.net referencing the Google Blog only concerns the "Android Feature Update", which is for GMS Android users. There is also a "Pixel Feature Drop" which Pixel users will likely get tomorrow. Plus there will likely be other "fixes" and whatnot.

What's your setup? I'm rooted custom kernel and 1 ESIM using Xfinity Mobile. I also didn't restore settings with 6 pro backup. I flashed BL and modem before clean flashing stock to root

I am in 5G unsupported country and I am using physical SIM I have tried to disable DSDS but it didn't seem to stick. I have tried with stock and beta QPR1 same result. Which custom kernel would you recommend? I think the issue is with the radio and the Samsung Shannon 5300G. I am not sure if there is a radio firmware I could try.

"I am in 5G unsupported country"
I fail to understand the complaints from people who live in "unsupported" countries!
Why would you even consider buying ANY phone that is unsupported in any way?
The fault is yours not Googles! YMMV

Probably because they wanted a pixel but Google only officially sells phones in like 4 countries (exaggerating but probably not by much). I want phones available outside of the USA all the time but my wonderful carrier (verizon) and to a degree the other carriers as well suck and want big money to certify the ability to use their towers (bands). Stuck mainly with iSheep, Samdung, One Plus (already settled) and Google (constant hardware problems).

It will be difficult for me to make you understand anything since you fail to understand simple things like why anyone would pick a Google phone instead of another brand. Anyway I had Nexus and Pixel phones in the past and they have worked just fine. I was very well aware 5G and VoLTE don't work and I was not after these features. I would be perfectly fine with just 4G. Mine Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 2 XL worked flawlessly. I might have a faulty hardware I am not sure at this point. If you could not help me at least don't blame me for my choices, the money I have spent are mine not yours. Like I have said I know since the beginning some of the feature would not work and this was a risk I was willing to take since I wanted a "clean" android and rootable + unlocked bootloader (there are not many phone manufacturers offering such features). I was not expecting the Pixel to not support any well established telecom standards. Aside from that I live in Europe and I bought the phone from neighboring country. It is not from Japan or US/Canada with different bands.

@xpact , it might be your phone or possibly faulty modem hardware. I am in the US using the 7P7 (rooted, unlocked) without any issues (I keep 5G off) 99% of the time. Once in a while I have to restart my phone or turn airplane mode on and off because I would randomly lose service. Its pretty rare though and even less now after the November update.

Question for the group and I hope I'm in the right spot. I got my 7 pro last week. So I went to the Factory image page. I'm on Verizon so I took the verzon update. Now I see a update just for global. Should I wait on the Verizon or can I just install the global one? I'm new to Pixel experience.

I bought the unlocked P7P from Google and Verizon is my carrier. I have only been flashing the generic firmware to avoid VZW bloatware as much as possible. I haven't had any issues.

I bought it from Germany as well ) The previous pixel I had I bought it from UK and the Nexus 6P from UK as well. But the ones from UK I did not bought on first date but few months after they might had different hardware modem revisions.
