Hi guys, has anyone flashed a Chinese version of a phone with a global ROM. I have a Vivo Nex Dual Display but everything is in Chinese. Just wondering if it was possible to flash a global ROM on there. I don't even know if the bootloader is unlocked etc because everything is in Chinese.

Personally I did that on my OnePlus 8, but you're posting your question on the wrong section, next time be careful on that.
Just find out it's not possible for Vivo phones:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-nex-global-rom-t3818470/
"I asked Vivo about firmware change. They said it is not possible, if I want to have firmware from India I have to buy phone in India, phones from China can have only Chinese firmware"

Ah thanks man. That was very helpful. I thought this was the section to talk about "flashing" where should I have posted this?
Btw that link is broken. 404 Page Not Found

Emmm...ok. I would have never thought to post about flashing a Vivo phone in the OnePlus section lol
Thanks for the new link, that's working and I guess you can't flash Vivo. Some people are giving solutions but it's not as simple as just flashing a new ROM.
:highfive:

Hi guys,
I just bought a frd-al00, I've seen in another thread that changing regions is possible so could someone please show me how to change my firmware to a European version?
Thanks
ps: sorry if this thread already exists or if it's posted in the wrong area
I really don't recommend doing this as you will void the retailer's warranty.

In all honesty, I really don't mind
I plan to root afterwards anyway
idk how to do it but if you said there is another thread talking about it, then wouldnt it be easier to ask the question there?
It's too hard go do so.
But no one made a guide specifically for the honor 8. There's a similar guide for the 5x (Again don't try it as there's no guide for our device)

Hi guys,
Been searching the forums and located some nice information but i would like a full guide step by step tutorial which can help me and others who are in a similar situation.
I dont want to brick my phone as i only got it yesterday but unfortunately has the china ROM. I managed to get google stuff installed but the assistant aint working so best to install the global ROM that has all this stuff already pre-loaded.
Could someone be so kind to provide me with a step to step tutorial on how to fully flash the global rom which i found here: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-3-miui-10-global-stable-android-pie-download/
I would really appreciate it Help a fellow noob out!
Thanks!
P.s, usually i just go and wing it but i dont want to brick / break the phone. I live in ireland so hopefully this global one works out. I enabled the dev option and already have the unlocker app from xiaomi, i have my mi account hooked to the mi unlock status so im just waiting on myself to unlock via the app on my PC from xiaomi. So thats where i am right now.
Pps, i see theres an EU ROM as well as global? Which one is better? Is there much difference?
My Phone is a mi mix 3 running MIUI Version 10.0.12.0(PEECNFH) Stable on Android 9.0

Go back one page and look down.
EU rom is based on chinese rom, other than that there isn't much difference.
Wheres the TWRP download for the mi mix 3? I cant find it anywhere, thanks

Hello everyone, is it possible to switch from china rom to global rom? Anyone going to work on it? Thanks
I have exactly the same problem. The solution realme gives me is refund the telephone to China..

I've done quite a bit of research into this. It's not a simple process as for example Xiaomi.
It will involve resizing the system partition among other partitions.

Read in other forums that it's not possible.
There's a June update for our device, I got it this morning. A19
This last update does not includes spanish or changes anything
Hi, I have the RMX2075 (UK) and there is an update on the UK site for RMX2076EU, would this work if I installed it.
File manager detects that it is an update package. For reference it's the 17/6/2020 RMX2076EU_11_A.22
Currently on RMX2075_11_A.20
Thanks for any help - Josh

No sorry, this was a tangent regarding the RMX2075 (UK) getting the RMX2076EU update which was posted on the UK site.
Probably they just named it wrong. Sorry, I don't have the RMX2017 (CN) (but isn't it 2071 lol).
Just as an interest, what's wrong with the CN version?

As per my first analysis, RM2071 (CN) did not bring the majority of the languages (in my case, I need PT), just CN, EN and other two or three asian languages. It does not have Google Play store although it is possible to install it separatedly.
Finally there are many CN apps that comes together and when using EN, some untranslated texts in CN are still appearing in many screens.

Google maps Timeline can not be enabled on RMX2071(CN) version.
Disappointed with Chinese Rom
I also own a RMX2071 version.
To be honest I'm disappointed as my expectations with this phone were too high.
Here are my remarks:
Breeno is only in Chinese and you cannot download EU voices,
Global search is only retrieving Chinese news,
Impossible to fully replace Breeno with Google Assistant (shortcut will still launch Breeno instead of GA, GA will not produce notification sound when activated...)
Some software and some rare options are not translated in my language (I set the FR language and still Chinese texte)
Security check is done for all app you are downloading from Google store (which leads sometimes to Play Store crash)
Google Chrome is freezing from time to time
I need to switch mobile data off and on to get back internet (specially after leaving the phone locked for a while).
I need to switch mobile data off and on right after a call or I'll not be able to get Internet...
Regards

Hi all,
I have searched on many threads on XDA and even other sources, but I can't find a solid answer, I don't like to create new threads, but in this case, I had to.
I am going to buy the Chinese variant of the OnePlus 8T, which is advertised to be shipped with Hydrogen OS. I have seen many guides and videos on how to switch to Oxygen OS and it seems very easy and straightforward.
My only concern is, that I will have to root the device (using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...in-eu-us-kb2000-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/ ) and I am unsure how to return the device to stock.
From what I have read, the KB2000 Chinese variant does give a crashdump error if you use the normal MSM Download tool made for the global devices to flash the Chinese variant, because it shipped with Hydrogen OS, and not Oxygen OS.
Now I read on this thread that this is the working version of the MSM Tool for the Chinese KB2000 Hydrogen OS devices.
A few people confirmed that this is indeed working, but I am importing this phone to South Africa, and just want some extra peace of mind before I make the purchase.
My apologies if someone feels I created this post unnecessarily, but I am willing to write a guide for the Chinese version on how to return it to stock to help somebody else out there.
I will truly appreciate it if somebody can shed some light on this thread.
Thanks a lot everyone!

To return to stock you can use latest HydrogenOS MSM or OxygenOS MSM tools or even flash unpacked firmware files directly from fastbootd.

I think returning to stock HOS or OOS is not such a problem.
Look more precisely on other things like carrier support of chinese version (KB2000) in your country, especially if you're going to use 5G, because chinese version has different LTE/5G bands, so it may not reach max internet speed your carrier provides.

Hello, first time in here!
I was planning to buy the Rog Phone 5S, and I found a quite cheap CN Tencent version on eBay.
However, I'm not really into ROMs and firmware things, so I would like to ask a couple of things.
Is there any EASY way to install the WW version? I tried looking here in the forum's, but I was a bit confused, so I thought it was better to ask here.
And also after installing the Global version, will I be able to receive auto updates like usual?
Thanks in advance for the answers, have a nice weekend everyone!!

Then it's actually better off to find a WW version (International) rather than go through the hassle and headache of converting one. Asus made it difficult over the year for conversions, and especially on the 5S - the conversion us not yet a 100% successful.

Sad to hear, WW ones are way more expensive and much harder to find I would try to go for the conversion, but if it's not 100% successful, that's a problem. What happens if the conversion don't go the right way? Does the phone bricks, or it simy stays the way it is?
