Guys, I need your help, please.
I bought an Oppo Find X2 Pro, unfortunately the device has a Vodavone Provider Firmware (CPH2025VF_11_A.20) installed, which I would like to change to the current global firmware (CPH2025_11_A.15).
Can I simply flash the CPH2025_11_A.15 firmware over the CPH2025VF_11_A.20 without unlocking the boot loader?
How exactly do I have to proceed?
Any help is warmly welcome!
regards

Where did you buy it with branded firmware?
You can try this firmware (currently the latest available)
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Pro
Download it to your device's internal memory (download folder, for example) then power off. Power+vol down button until the device boot into recovery mode (or whatever is it called) choose install firmware, locate the downloaded folder. Don't worry, if your device is locked to Vodafone (not sure if possible) then you won't be able to install it.

Sorry mate- no: a Firmware downgrade isnt possible with hunhool´s solution.
We have to find another way to get rid off that damn bloaty provider firmware.
I also wonder if the debranding might cause problems with volte and wificalling?
Can anyone comment on this? :good:

You could try to make a VPN to Switzerland and check if you get the A.22 by OTA. Don't think so but it's worth a try.

Hey, I'm from UK and got my Z3 yesterday. Lovely phone, however I'm stuck with the ugly 3 splash screen upon boot. Is there any way to get rid of this? Is there another firmware I can flash which will work with my phone? Thanks for your help.
Go in the the general section and there is a sticky thread (at the top) all you have to do is use flashtool and flash one of the unbranded firmwares for your model. This is what I did with my O2 phone. Hope this helps

Hi thanks mate. Brilliant we haven't got to unlock bootloader or be rooted. Do I flash the UK generic ftf file? Does generic refer to network unbranded? Kind regards.

I'm a different mate , but yes, "generic" means "unbranded". To be more specific, flash "Customized UK 23.0.A.2.105 / R9B" and you have the latest without any carrier branding.

Just to confirm, I won't lose my DRM keys, and the camera won't be affected if I flash an FTF file? This only occurs if I root/unlock bootloader, correct? Thanks very much for help

I understand that the US variant will not have fingerprint sensor, but does it have the underlying hardware that we can activate via flashing official UK tools/Rom? It was possible with the XZ, so just wondering. Thank you.
Yes, just flash non-us fw and it works again.

Note that Chinese Mainland (CN) FW doesn't have Google Framework, you may try HK or TW version.
The flash tool for XZP is still on developing, keep an eye on https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426

Ok, that makes sense, but she won't be able to access google from mainland China without using VPN access. I'll use the HK version instead, since when comes here next year from Shanghai she'll be able to access google. Will the US firmware have the Chinese language on it, thats what I am really worried about.
Help please

All you have to do is download fw via flashtool, download this, drop the files inside the zip into the fw folder, connect your phone in flashmode and start newflash.exe, it will then flash.
I think that the hardware is there. It's just disabled for patent issues in the US.
I have a CPH2025 running CW though I purchased it from Amazon UK and can confirm it's Unlocked Network wise, is there no way of flashing just a Global CPH2025 to it so I'm able to get updates quicker?
Nope
There's a flashing tool used by Oppo, Realme and OnePlus phones called MSN Download Tool.
It's what they use internally and there are always leaked / cracked versions available for OnePlus, but not so much Oppo. IF you managed to find the right version you could in theory change your software version. You'd need the tool and .ofp file (which is the full firmware).
I have a couple of cracked versions of the tool and OFP files that I stumbled across when trying to convert my Chinese version to global, but not willing to try on my CPH2025 in case I brick it (plus I have the global version so nothing to gain by doing so). Sure Oppo would reflash under warranty if you could be bothered with the inconvenience of not having a phone for a week.

Unlikely, there are only a few leaked versions of the full firmware, I have found A14 and A29, as ColorOS 11 isn't even out yet is say there is zero chance of getting a leaked version that someone has cracked.... Just have to wait.
It is actually possible to change to global! I put a small tutorial up on Twitter to show you how to do it.

Does it factory reset the phone? How is 4g/5g performance when you switch regions? I imagine Singapore would use different bands... And how does it look with Google Pay, certifications, Widevine etc?
Update: Never mind, tried it, the *# code is actually for a realme device, can't find one specific to Find X2 or X2 Pro, and have no idea if there is a way to extract a list of those secret codes from the device itself...

The *# works on the Find X2 Pro. It's not Realme-specific. Google Pay still works for me and didn't notice any mobile data difference. No factory reset either
I've tried and it works. Changed the region a few times, tried Singapore, UK, then the multi-language E - all worked fine. It even disabled and enabled region specificNone of them have me a ColorOS 11 update though which is why I was doing it.
However, I changed to Thailand True and now this procedure doesn't work. Now stuck on Thailand ?. My fault for playing too much!

Thanks for the post Adam, you've made a lot of people very happy. This change in regional settings had enabled people to get ColorOS 11 early, replace carrier specific software for a more generic version, get features like the Theme Store and call recording working and even opened up the possibility of having dual SIM on a single SIM variant!
Cheers buddy! ?
Hi, i have a Vodafone Oppo find X2 pro and i want to debrand it, so I have an Stock Europe Rom, but when i'm gonna to flash with MSM download tool V 4.0.28 I get the error: "firehose communication handshake failed"...
What can I do?
Somebody told me that if I flash a stock rom I will not receive OTA updates again, because my IME is linked to Vodafone. Is this true?
Thanks in advance,
Please help me
As far as I know, the phone won't be branded as such.
I got mine from EE. It used to say EE in the software version string but after changing the region (look at thread about changing region) this changes to whatever region/carrier you changed it to.
No need to flash a European ROM manually. I don't think that's possible anyway.
Follow the thread to change the region: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...de-to-coloros-11-and-enable-dual-sim.4191787/
You need to do the region change hack, that way you can change from EE to the generic CPW version used in the UK, or another region of you wish

Hello guys,
I have recently installed a stock сhinese rom for this tablet and got stuck on version 12.6, the system app does not allow me to download updates because my bootloader is unlocked (locking the bootloader leads to the message "Your device is corrupt"). Can someone help me where I can download OTA updates for this tablet, I found them for the p11 and P11 pro, but not for the plus model. Or maybe someone just ordered a tablet from aliexpress and can share these updates, I would be very grateful.

You cant dowload ota updates after you unlock your bootloader, thats how it works both on global and zui firmwares.
