I live in China so currently I can only buy this phone customized for China- no Google apps and only some local crappy app stores.
I know it's possible to install Google services/store etc. on Chinese phones, but would it be possible to just flash some stock "Western" ROM on it?
Are there any stock ROMs from OnePlus available for international versions?
How can I tell if the phone I'd be buying here is "flashable"- how can I check it at the store ?
There are all 3 versions available here (6/8/12GB ram)
Chinese version uses hytrogen OS, you can try flash oxygen OS(stock os on international version)through "local upgrade" .
Some personal experience：
I bought Chinese version too and I directly flashed zip in this thread through local upgrade, the OS changed to Oxygen OS as expected but Google play store somehow wasn't installed, so I factory reseted my phone, then everything works fine now.
Note: Chinese version got a system update after it was released if you performed that upgrade you may not able to flash oxygen os because version number(9.5.4) is higher on hytrogen os than on oxygen os(9.5.3).
Note 2: This thread provide 9.5.4 oxygen os now so if you already performed upgrade on hytrogen os you can try flash 9.5.4 oxgyen os.
Hi, I'd like to hop on this thread to ask a similar question.
So right now I'm in China and will stay for a few weeks. I've been wanting to get my habds on a 7 pro since I learned about it, and I'll be residing in S.Korea for the foreseeable future.
I have an option to purchase the device from the US official website and have an agency deliver it to me at my Korean address (I'm assuming the US version retails as the global version GM1917 I believe?). All in all it'll cost around $790.
Or I can purchase the cheaper, chinese version while I'm here and install the Oxygen OS on it as I'm told it's a rather simple procedure for Oneplus phones. I've never tried any sort of unlocking/bootloader/flash/custom rom stuff so I'm not entirely familiar with all this but it seems doable if i tread carefully.
The question that stands however, is whether or not there will be any difference at all between the two. I believe the Chinese model is named GM1910, I'm assuming there are some hardware differences like band support, but then again I can't find a clear answer on this. I've also heard that flashing the OOS might mean it wont be google play digital certified (not entirely sure if i got the name right or what it does) and I might encounter widevine issues. But then again I've seen people mention the hardware is the same so as long as I convert the OS it should work like a breeze as if it was the global version.
I'd appreciate any help and guidance in this matter. Also by flashing the OS would that mean I'd have to manually apply OTA patches whenever they're released? I'm not too concerned on warranty issues but if you guys have anything crucial I should keep in mind about it I'd be grateful for the help.
Thanks in advance.

All version sold in china is "flashable", just pick up the specs/color you prefered.
For the switching the system from HOS(Chinese version) to OOS(global version), it's simple:
1. flash the newest Oxygen OS(GM21AA, for global version) through system update;
2. reboot to recovery;
3. wipe all data of your phone
Done.

Widevine downgrading(L1 -> L3) happened when you unlock the bootloader. If you just get an chinese version OP7P, switching system from HOS to OOS, it's ok to do it through system update, while maintaining the widevine level.
After switching to OOS 9.5.3, my chinese version OP7P works pretty fine with all google service(except google pay, no environment to test it)

I'm not sure if there are any hardware difference between Chinese model and other model, but I'm sure Google play is still certified on Chinese model after flashing OOS. Widevine level won't change as long as you don't unlock bootloader and you won't need to unlock bootloader if you only want to flash OOS.
I used to have a Chinese version OnePlus 5, I flashed OOS on it and everything works pretty well for two years, OTA always works. I assume everything is the same on OnePlus 7 pro.

Hey, thanks for the reply! for some reason I can't quote the edited latter part of your post.
It's great to know its as simple as you said. But like I mentioned I'm quite new to all this so I hope you're fine that your answer also raised some questions for me.
So if there's no influence on widevine, why would people go the extra effort to unlock the bootloader? Isn't it primarily to flash a fresh ROM which would mean the end goal is basically the same is it not? Would my OS converted phone be any different to that of a bootloader unlocked one in regards to performing identical as a global version 7 pro?
Thanks so much for the help!

People unlock bootloader because they want to root their phone or flash third-party ROM. Bootloader has to be unlocked if you want to flash anything other than stock ROM or other stock things.

Thanks you are amazing. I think I can safely go with the Chonese version. One last question though, would tweaking for VoLTE require any rooting?

Glad I can help.
If you're in China, I don't think you need to tweak anything to use VoLTE no matter which OS you're using (Hytrogen OS or Oxygen OS), there are three main telecom operators in China: CMCC, China Net and China Unicom.
CMCC already support VoLTE so if you're using CMCC's service your phone will enable VoLTE automatically once you plug in the SIM card and detected signal.
China Net added support for VoLTE very recently, so VoLTE should be automatically enabled too once you plug in a China Net's SIM card, but I'm not sure about this because I'm not using any China Net's service.
China Unicom does not support VoLTE until June 1st 2019, you won't be able to use VoLTE till then in any method if you are using China Unicom's service (Google Fi and some international roaming use China Unicom's service so no VoLTE for Google Fi and those roaming yet)
Dual VoLTE with dual SIM should work too, I'm using CMCC and China Unicom dual sim and VoLTE icon on my status bar have a "1" next to it(VoLTE1), I think there will be a VoLTE2 after China Unicom support VoLTE.
I know little about these Telecom operators things outside of China, but I think Oxygen OS support most country's VoLTE service as long as their Telecom operators support VoLTE.
I'm new here, my op7 pro is on the way to me, I'm in China too, so I should unbox it, do not upgrade, download the oxygen os and flash it directly? Than I'll get a "global version" op 7 pro, will it work?
I bought a lg g7 on ebay thinking it was the 710 ULM but investigating I realized that it was the 710pm converted to ULM. Is there any possibility to upload it to PIE since it does not update by OTA ...
return it and buy a pixel 3.
or get the modified lg up from here and the latest firmware from here
but seriously dont buy a g7. it could be great with a great rom, but there just isnt a lot of development behind it.
-Here- You can find step by step what I did to get android Pie 9 on LG G7. I had the same Phone, PM crossflashed to ULM.
LG G7 its a great phone, but if you want a phone with a large development community behind, this is not the chose one. IMO even not worth to try flash Custom Recovery or Root, there is not good rom out there and the Stock Rom with Android Pie work flawless.
Every Phone what I've have before got Custom Rom/Revovery since day One, but lately is not necessary to survive. A lot of things already are on stock rom. Anyway, I dont have any regret with this LG G7 (Good performance, Good Price $140), my last phone was a LePro 3 x727 with a great performance on Custom Rom (SD821, 4/64Gb Android 9 AOSiP, Magisk, Gcam Etc...) And I dont miss it at all...
I will try when I get home!

I bought this phone as well. It was too late to return it but I complained anyway. They gave me a $20 refund.
So all I can do is install lineage os 17 since there will be no OTA? Installing that OS or any OS looks very complicated. There is no way to upgrade from Oreo without wiping all the data?

Sadly not , but the crossflash process is not that difficult if you follow the guide .
I have sucessfully updated 2 G7's one pm(sprint) and a vm(verizon) both working pretty great on android 10. Can't speak about volte or wifi calling since I've bever used those services so if you are interested in that I can't give you any input
On the other hand you could try lineage os or any ither or the custom roms and some of them do support updates from within the same rom , no facotry reset needed unless upgrading from lets say 10 to 11
I have a PM I am trying to sell .. it was cross-flashed before I bought it.. I used as a wi-fi only phone very happily (that was my goal).. but am trying to get it saleable.... I cannot find an official Sprint ROM to flash? ie. I want to flash it back and sell it as original (ie. usable for Sprint) rather than sell as a frankenstein. Any pointers?

There is not Sprint stock Rom avaliable. Cross flash is a not-return journey. Anyway, there is nothing worng with crosflashed Roms, just a couple apps you cant download from Gplay Store, but you can grab apk from another store. On android 10 you can install some from Gplay like Netflix.

Which is what leads me to believe that most of the ‘ULM-PM’ model isn’t actually anything crossflashed but an actual ULM model ,that has imei that were simply issued to sprint assigned by lg firmware distribution division wtfever...
And that sprint G7’s simply were ulm models is all..
There may be crossflashed variant phones also BUT when u buy a bnib SEALED lg g7 and box says ulm but the sticker isn’t the ‘standard ulm’ and u look up imei and it says sprint..
well.... um yeah logic common sense wouuuuld dictate..
Thee Above^
**now if it were after the tmobile buyout then ofc the firmware would be MIGHT been ‘TM’
Any questions...
It’s already been said that most all g7 have ALL the bands but you have to enter a service menu to enable the ones the modem leaves open avail
Any other questions. .

It's not only the best phone I've ever used, I think it's clearly far & away the best in class for a phone today and I genuinely want it to raise bars for what's possible with the hardware. As a package, it's remarkable. Best in class overall & in many areas.
I just love it. Nothing is a disappointment. Getting on the xiaomi.eu ROM negated the ill effects of importing a deGoogled phone. It's reliable, charges in ludicrously quick time, is a fantastic camera, seems unofficially pretty splashproof. Feels good, looks good, sounds good, works with everything
Yes, it gets five snowflakes

based on official, but not official. They do updates over the air normally but not til TWRP is ready. They're a solid group, used them before when I had a Mi 9. From a readme:

Get yourself on to the EU ROM. I know it's going to take a week to get unlocked but it's well worth while. The EU ROM makes this a superb phone and I've come from a Huawei P40 Pro plus that photographically may be better but there is not much in it. I just love this phone now. Got a couple of cases coming and a better screen cover protector.

Ok is there a way back to getting the phone "locked" again on stock rom if i want to return ?
Why do you want it locked again? The EU ROM shows no security issues, it passed every test.
On the Chinese ROM, I couldn't use my Sky Q as it said it wasn't secure and that was before flashing. Now I can use it. Is there a reason you need it locked?
You can flash the Chinese stock ROM if you do want. I have done to test but come back to the EU version. If you need a link to the stock let me know, I did put instructions on the Xiaomi forum but can copy it here.

I mean if i want to return it to default to be able to sell it. Also 2 questions, does the windows way work or not because i read there's issues in the bat file and only linux works. I dont have access to a linux machine currently. 2nd question, when twrp is ready, until then we will have to flash ourselves until twrp is ready to be able to do OTA?
We've found a fix for the windows method which involves swapping out the fastboot. It's all there in the thread for it, I promise...this is for overall love
And if you may sell it, unless you are going to sell to a Chinese person, I think they will appreciate not having to do the change from the Chinese version.
There are warnings about relocking and the possibility of bricking but you can always flash the stock Chinese version again like I did to test it and then back to EU ROM. Unlocking will bind your Mi account to you phones hardware but this can be swapped to another user if you sell.

Unfortunately not. You will have to wait 168 hours ( 1 week). No way round it as the hardware will be locked to your Mi account during the process.

What are the benefits of EU Rom? I have removed all bloat on China ROM and it's doing fine. Just having and issue of high power consumption of Google Play Services and mdnsd.
See attached screenshots. Plus battery lasts longer, no issues with notification and it reports it's fully secure. For me, it refused to run skyq as the app said it was not secure. Using the EU ROM, it's happy. Have a look at the attached.
How long does Xiaomi normally support their devices? How many "Major" android upgrades do the provide? Like from 10 to 11? And if we went through the EU Rom route will they provide updates for longer?

I know that using unofficial ROMs and firmware is always risky, but I'm wondering if this is legit. I want to update my Vivo Y51A (unsupported) to at least Android 8 (Oreo), and this website claims to have all the supplies needed for that, but would they actually work?

hehe true dont worry im getting help or at least trying to *oof*
Hopefully someone here knows about this variant or has a better plan for you.
My POV: rooting a phone or replacing the stock rom with a custom rom has become a pointless popular sport. At the end of the day, no better device comes out than the one you bought.
To be on the safe side only use rooting tools / custom recoveries / custom ROMs authored by non-chinese people and introduced and provided here on XDA.

Hi everyone, I am planning to buy this phone - Indian version with model number RMX2076. version I intend to purchase is 8GB | 128GB version.
I have a few doubts and need help & answers please.
I intend to flash the stock Indian Rom with EU/Global version of Stock Rom. I am doing this to activate more number of 4G and 5G bands available on this device on the EU/Global variant, as against fewer network bands available on stock Indian ROM version. source: https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_x50_pro_5g-10097.php
I would prefer to keep the boot-loader locked post the ROM Flash and get the rest of the phone working as stock. I prefer, the security of locked boot-loader, and would like all bank apps, UPI Payment apps and Google Pay app working.
My Queries are:
Can this be done on this device?.
Will the device receive regular OTA OS and security updates for the Global/EU ROM post the Flash?.
Are there hardware changes in Global version of this phone that I should be aware of, prior to this Global ROM flash on the Indian version RMX2076?.
any and all help appreciated. Thank you.
bump, really no one has this same question? some answer would be nice please.
