Hi all,
I am expecting delivery of my Tencent version soon. The seller from AliExpress confirmed that the device is with global rom from factory, i doubt his claim though
Appreciate it if someone could hightlight what needs to be checked to confirm if any modifications such as rom version, locking the bootloader etc would be required.
This will help to check if i need to change anything ir the rom provided is good to go...
Thanks :good:

Install device info hw from playstore, under system it should say ww for rom, product and fingerprint. If it does you can go ahead and update to latest version 1908

When you turn the phone on there will be a big sign that says bootloader unlocked. But I doubt it will be

So should i update directly to 1908 or first to 1907 and then the latest one?

Hmm, not sure. I went to 1907 first but that's because I wanted root and followed that guide. But, there's now a rooted 1908 so it would probably be fine to go straight to that version, rooted or not. Do have a read of the guides tho and following posts too

since ur finger print is no longer CN, then u can manually update directly from 1906 to 1908
Asus is warning on their forums about sellers selling modified tencent version with WorldWide ROM and that is not correct ROM it should have and Asus says any tencent versions with WW ROM is not official device by Asus and you should return device back to seller. Since warranty won't count and FOTA would probably not work.

Do you happen to be on the European global or the NA global? Your version number suggests European.
I have not received anything yet for NA.
I'm on EU Global
Can anyone share the update zip file
Unfortunately, I'm not able to find it.
I assume it was deleted the moment I updated the phone
Hmm i received no Update, but good too see they are working
@Nightpwish,any specific language or region settings?
I'm in Belgium and didn't get the update so far...

My Red Magic 3 arrived yesterday, must say very speedy delivery, 3 days only DHL express to Australia which was excellent.
I'm having trouble identifying the different models though, I've seen reference to a Chinese (CN), Global, EU but also a 'NA' version? Not sure if some are the same thing? I'm concerned as though from what I can tell the EU version doesn't have LTE Band 28 (which I want) but the NA version does and I'm not sure what I have other than it was branded NX629J.
https://global.redmagic.gg/pages/red-magic-3-specs (under 'Connectivity')
Can anyone assist please?

Hi,

Hi,
What good is that update ?
Does it bring one of the following features :
- working dark mode ?
- control of front LED ?
- Always On Display ?
- App lock in Recents ?
If none of the features is included, no point in updating.
I don't think I've seen any of these mentioned in the update log, but who knows...
Regards.
Sorry for the probably stupid question.
Just bought the Tencent variant (via China obviously), the phone came with Google Playstore preinstalled the firmware version is : pkq1.190414.001.ww_phone-16.0622.1906.19-0
Is this the International fw ?

Yes, it's international WW, but, you need to check the fingerprint is WW too before you can update to 1908. You can use device info hw from playstore, it'll show under system, you need WW Rom, which you have, plus product and fingerprint need to be WW too

Hi all
I am trying to set up the Google pay but I am getting the error: Couldn't finish to pay in stores. This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way.
I tried to delete the cache and storage but no chance!
Any ideas?
Are you using official Asus Rog phone 2 or a tencent version with ww ROM?
I'm unrooted and have the bootloader locked and my Google pay works fine on my tencent converted to ww phone.

Like other user said it will say tencent on the back if it's tencent version. If you got tencent, then go into settings --> System --> About Phone and look at software I formation if text there starts with WW_ then yours has got worldwide firmware. When it's supposed have Chinese version.
So most likely you bought a modified tencent version and that device has no warranty and FOTA does not work and Asus are stating any tencent version with WW firmware is not official device. Asus do not manufacture a tencent version with WW firmware. So you should either contact your reseller and request a refund and ship the item back and buy a proper tencent version with Chinese firmware or non tencent version.

I'm in Canada using WW firmware. I bought my phones from AliExpress through the ETeam store. Selected regular shipping and didn't have to pay taxes. Just message them to flash the phone and change the fingerprint to WW from CN.

You may have changed the rom to WW but did you successfully change the fingerprint? You can check with device info hw from playstore, under system it'll show what rom have, the product id and fingerprint

While you're on WW, have you updated to latest version 1910.35? It may fix some of the issues/things you prefer about the CN rom...
But sure, I'll have a look for CN raw rom and root /stock img's to match to change it back again...

check finger print download app on play store.[device info hw]
I see on the official Thread that the global rom is available for OTA updates. I have been unsuccessful at sourcing a link.
I assume the flashing process will be identical to the steps provided by DroidWin for the Indian version?
I like the step by process the website has, because this will be the first time i've had to unlock the bootloader :/

Apologies. I am unsure whether it is the EU version or the GLO version. I genuinely don't know how to tell. It had quite a bit of chinese bloat apps but is working fine for me in Australia. I locked the bootloader after installing and it appears I will be able to use the oxygen updater app for the next OTA anyway.
Just use oxygen updater to get the full firmwares
Can confirm that it's up in Oxygen Updater. I'm downloading and will confirm update process later.

The EU and Indian releases are always first, they will release the global/Us version but it'll never be before the EU/IN versions.
If you have the chance to go EU then I'd recommend doing so.
