Hi guys, I'm new to this Rog line, I just purchased a Rog Phone 5S 16/256 Tencent version with global rom. The cell phone is very good, but for some reason I was not able to download Netflix from the play store and I can't add cards to make it work through google pay. Netflix doesn't even appear to download in the play story and the card appears a message saying that the phone is rooted or some modification has been made. Can you help me to solve this problem? Thanks.
If it's a Tencent version with WW rom, it has been tampered with for conversion and perhaps not done properly. Is your bootloader unlocked? That's what I would check first along with checking if you pass SafetyNet.
How do I check if the bootloader is locked?

Yes you can re-lock it with a simple Fastboot command but you want to be very careful before doing that with a Tencent device (you can find a lot about that on this forum).
I wouldn't re-lock it if it was my device. Instead I would go all the way and root device with Magisk, install SafetyNet Fix 2.1.1 + LSPosed+Xprivacy to hide root and pass SafetyNet, then do a clean install of Netflix.

OK. First:
1. Backup all your personal stuff
2. Install TWRP (optional but highly recommended)
2. Make a full backup of your device in TWRP and keep it somewhere safe (optional but highly recommended)
Guides for above are already available on this forum (see below). Once you have rooted the device successfully, ping and I can help you pass SafetyNet and hide root.

Hello friend, first of all I would like to thank you for your help, unfortunately even with the tutorials I still got lost on how to root. I'm going to use it the way it came, I'm afraid of doing something wrong and ending up using the cell phone. I've never done this, so I thought it was something simpler. Thanks again.

So, we already got TWRP & Root to work nicely on this device,
but what now ? what can we do with root to actually improve the device experience ?
Well, here's few list of my own modification, which you can apply to yours as well (Most mod using Magisk Module, so you might want to make sure Magisk Manager and Magisk were properly installed)
1. Improve performance by disabling swap memory - Using Swap Torpedo Module by @EarlyMon
Our phone has 6GB of RAM, and that's plenty by any standard. Which mean, using swap memory will only slow down the overall performance - as explained here - so let's disable it using Swap Torpedo Module.
How to install :
Open Magisk Manager
Search for "Swap Torpedo"
Install & Reboot
2. Faster & Secure Internet using WireGuard
WireGuard is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances. Initially released for the Linux kernel, it plans to be cross-platform and widely deployable. It is currently under heavy development, but already it might be regarded as the most secure, easiest to use, and simplest VPN solution in the industry.
Previously, WireGuard can only installed on device with supporting Kernel. But now it finally can be added to a ROM through the use of Magisk Module.
How to install :
Open Magisk Manager
Search for "Wireguard Installer"
Install & Reboot
Go to Play Store
Search for "WireGuard"
Install
Now go to www.azirevpn.com
Create new account
Go to Azire - WireGuard Config Generator
Choose your preference of Server's Country
Hit "Download"
Now open "WireGuard" app on your Android
Click the (+) icon on the bottom right
Choose "Create from File"
Pick the config file you downloaded above
Now enable it
Open browser and try to surf. You should now able to open site previously blocked, or something like that
You can also add WireGuard Button to your QS to easily turn WireGuard VPN ON and OFF
3. Ad-FREE and Backgrund Playback YouTube using - AdVanced YouTube Module by @Team Vanced
Vanced is a well known modded version of YouTube with many features such as adblocking and background playback.
How to install :
Open Magisk Manager
Search for "YouTube Vanced"
Install & Reboot
4. System Wide AdFREE - Using AdAway
How to install :
Go to https://adaway.org/
Download APK
Install & Enable
Reboot
any other good essential stuff you want to add ?

No, through eRecovery, by either installing the no check version, or by modifying DNS to team MT one. Read the instruction in Firmware Finder app
How I beat the OTA problem -
1. Save the OTA files by copying them before saying OK to the update. Picture attached for location, the number will be different for you.
2. On a pc, use 7zip to get the update.app out of the update.zip file - extract your RAMDISK and RECOVERY_RAMDISK (so you have a copy after TWRP for next time) - using the 995 version from -

Neither of these answers is correct. In the EU, rooting will not void your statutory warranty. I'm sure there's equivalent legislation in the US too. https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html
Bootloader unlocking has nothing to do with rooting your phone. And even if it did, just lock it again before sending for any repair.

Yes, you can relock the bootloader. But for rooting withouth unlocking bootloader i dont know. I am aware there is backdor to do so on OnePlus phones, but Im not aware of something similar on Huawei (except maybe paid Funky Huawei service) And with unlocking bootloader you loose warranty, as it explicitly states in Huawei regulations.
Please, correct me if I am wrong. Did you find method for rooting P20 pro withouth booloader unlocking?

Doesn't matter one little bit what they state in the documentation. They cannot write anything in to the T&Cs that impacts on statutory rights. Anything beyond the statutory rights may be lost, sure, but they are required under EU legislation to ensure that the device will function as intended for at least two years. This is known as a statutory warranty. If they offer any extension to this then that's their prerogative, but to state that the warranty will be void due to rooting is wrong.

Correct. Most phones are like this. When you unlock the bootloader or root then the warranty is void. I'm sure though there will be a way to relock the bootloader soon.

In the EU you can unlock your phone without losing warranty. It's a EU rule that if the software makes it possible to unlock your phone {developer options} the warranty stays after unlocking.

Stock recovery is available, I bricked my device after playing around with project treble ROMs - and tried to use FunkyHuawei's eRecovery method but it didn't work (I suspected because it required stock recovery to install the package). I downloaded a stock firmware and opened it up with the Huawei Extractor tool, pulled out the RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img and flashed it to my device - restoring stock recovery.

i don't necessarily care about a custom ROM, but lineageOS or AOSP would be a good option, if available.

Yes, I tried several times. Nothing happened. It just doesn't unlock the bootloader.
There is another thread I've posted to about this with more stories from others.
I don't think there is much risk of bricking your device, but it is just unlikely to get rooted.
But, maybe you find something I did not and you will be successful.
I really liked the tablet, but refuse to be crippled by a manufacturer that pretends to be protecting me from ... I'm not sure what.
I rooted mine and it was a mistake.
I do not really gain anything out of it and now I cannot update my device anymore.
Do not do it.

Not unless you want to brick your device. You need to be completely stock before relocking your bootloader (unless using avbroot, but you should have a deep understanding about how it works beforehand).

And you can't flash a factory image to fix a phone on your own when it's soft bricked. It might have to go to a shop for repairs.

AFAIK, relocking the bootloader requires wiping the device -- much like unlocking does -- and if you're unwilling to set everything (including anything on your /sdcard internal storage, not to mention all apps and their settings & system settings) back up from scratch (as any good complete backups require root access), this might not be what you wish to do.
And, if you had managed to successfully relock the bootloader, you could simply run the in-system update (OTA) that would update without wiping -- or even manually applying OTA from the recovery.
But there are hardly any benefits in re-locking the bootloader (after unlocking it) -- even if one was to a paranoid degree of security; which is the only major reason to (I can point you to the discussions that had taken place on it here, if you wish). If you don't want to run into any issues, you could simply run the stock ROM without root and be hardly impacted by it; with the added benefit of having the option to advanced recovery options and/or rooting options open to you in the future if need be...

*it just occurs to me you meant to never lock bootloader because it limits options; not the risk of hard-bricking the device -- in which I wrote the following with that assumption. I'll leave the following comment as it is still sound advice, but I apologize in advanced that it doesn't quite relate to what you meant...
I mean, I feel doing Google's official Android Flash Tool is a safe enough method; it wouldn't do well if Google's own tool bricked their devices using their tool...at the very least the tool ensures that the stock factory firmware flashed matches the bootloader version and automates the fastboot commands so when re-locking the bootloader, it has the least potential to brick the device...
Exactly. there is no official flash tool from google, that's why I personally won't recommend to keep bootloader locked. If it's bricked with no working recovery mode, not even repair shop can fix it. all you can do is RMA to google get new device. no edl mode or anything else will help, fastboot is the official flashing method.
If you're referring to the "Android Flash Tool" that's no flash tool at all. I haven't tested it, but to me it looks like a WebUSB browser plugin. Reading the requirements it works with adb commands, usb-debugging and fully booted android is required. Therefore cannot unbrick devices.

That's of course another aspect. Good point. If you rely on SafetyNet or it's successor Play integrity, do not unlock bootloader. AFAIR the latter one can't be cheated.

There are some benefits like some banking apps, streaming apps and games beginning to work. So it really depends on what is important for the user. I don't like flashing random mods to make apps work on rooted/ bootloader unlocked devices, primarily banking apps.

I can’t seem to find this and my research has been telling me that the KB2007 is a T-mobile version that can have OEM unlocked can’t be done without a code even though I was able to without contacting T-mobile. Can anyone help me out or guide me on how to root my device?
