Google pay not working - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

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.

where did you buy it and did the phone came unrooted ?

My came unrooted. I don't see a point of root since it breaks Google pay for me. Unrooted, I just opened Google pay and told it to use the cards I had on file. Can't answer volte question as it isn't widely implemented where I am and 2G isn't being cut off anytime soon.

ww or cn firmware ? where did you buy it ?

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 are the man! I understand why my phone doesn't work with google pay I guess it is because of my fingerprint is still CN. thanks for the store on aliexpress.

So is there any way to change fingerprint from CN to WW easily?

US Version of ROG Phone 2. Can I root with WW kernel?

Just received my US version ROG 2 and I would like to root. But my kernel build number doesn’t match with the WW or CN kernals. Should I just wait?
Where did you get it from?
Phones like the Pixel 3 which can be sold from a carrier (like Verizon or T-Mobile), will usually have the bootloader permanently locked on the carrier-sold models. This is so the carrier does not have to endure additional RMAs due to people messing up their rooted phones. But since the Rog Phone II is not sold by any carriers, I would think that the Bootloader unlock tool they have already published would be made available for the US version as well. They might speed things up if you can find a way to get in touch with US support and point it out. The Asus online chat is very awful though seems to be entirely overseas staff reading from scripts with no autonomy. At least with Google Pixel there's some US-based call centers. If anyone finds a direct line of communication with the US team I'd be interested to see it.

I bought mine (US 512/12) directly from Asus, just got it Monday.
Is there anything that makes the WW version superior to the US version? Would it still have use of all the frequencies if US hardware was flashed to WW?
Got mines from asus store. Received it yesterday 9/30.
I prefer not to flash WW version and keep my US version but if there’s no difference than im waiting for no reason. So yeah if anybody could tell me what’s the difference in us version and ww version I’m all ears.

That's the first I heard of that. I really doubt that the US version has extra frequencies in hardware though; maybe flashing the US radio to CN/WW phones will enable the couple extra frequencies?

Check WW or CN, good to go or modification required?

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:

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

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.

Can somebody tell me what ROM is this?

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

Change from G7810 to G781B Please help me

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to convert Hong Kong variant of S20 FE 5G (SM-G7810) to European version (SM-G781B). What I have to do?
Please help me!
it is impossible to do
I am interested too, since I bought a SM-G780 model, which will be delivered to me in the next few days and I would like to carry out the same operation, I have already downloaded the Italian CSC ITV firmware SM-G781B; through Odin, can it be done? The phones have the same features, same processor, change the RAM which in the SM-G780 is 8GB, while in the SM-G781B it is 6GB. Thanks.

do not give people false hope, this method will not work.

Voice HD+ (EVS full band 128kbit/s) you only need to correct the configuration a little.
And flash G7810 to G781B - not possible!

I still have to receive the smartphone, I found the difference between the G7810 and G781global on this forum.
So what are the substantial differences then? And is it possible to put a Firmware / Global Rom while keeping the original phone, that is, without root and with OTAs?

I don't understand what you are trying to say.
First you pasted some screenshot without showing second one for global version (for which rom is it?)
Once you say it will work then you say it won't

Perfect. While the Google PlayStore, and other services work? There are no problems or report at the software level I mean!
Because for my country Italy, the frequencies of use of the G7810 are fine! So I was more interested in removal or software related problems!
Thanks a lot for the answer
its not posibil to do that and you dont need to do it you will get the update later in february.
Today arrived my 7810. As I need to be avle to use phone-recording I always did the CSC-trick trouwgh the THL-roms on S8, S9, S10 etc.
Therefore I am curious if there is a way to make phone recording work native as described above, or through app as ACR-call recorder on THY ( Hongkong-ROM).
For hardware the difference between 781B ( Global) & 7810 (Hongkong & China) is 6 GB vs 8GB.
That's probably why people think it is possible to flash other ROM into 7810 .

First have you forgotten the fack this is an international forum, where english isnt for a lot of people tghier first language. And secondly being insulting helps no one.
If you can a technical reason as to why the OP can't just flash a G781B stock rom to his G7810 device, that would more productive. Will it for example just not work and soft-brick his device requiring flashing back to G7810 firmware etc..?

Ofcourse I'm not sure about HIS, but MINE is also a 7810 Hong Kong version with 8 GB.
ALL European sold S20 FE 5G are 6 GB.

I'm thinking of buying the hongkong version from Canada. The process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting will be easier in this version right? Will the custom ROMs be compatible with the 8 GB hongkong version?
Otherwise I will go with the Canadian version.

Question OnePlus 10 Pro 512gb - Panda White

I have purchased this device from Wonda Mobile.
The customer service person has told me the original phone model is a Chinese NE2210. It will be flashed with NE2213 or NE2215 depending on region (I am from the UK so most likely NE2213?).
I was also told that the bootloader will be locked, payment app will work and the device will continue to receive updates.
My question, are the above true as far as you are aware?
Is it possible to flash a different region and leave the bootloader locked?
If it is possible to have the bootloader locked, I assume payments apps will work then?
Will the device continue to receive OTA updates if changed from NE2210 to NE2213 or NE2215?
Any possible issues I should be aware of?
I purchased the same device, originally NE2210, it was unpacked and flashed to NE2215 by the seller. The bootloader is locked, updates work normally, everything works great...
Thanks dzontra83. I used to be good at these things in the the golden days of modding our OnePlus phones and installing custom ROMS.
I read somewhere that you had to unlock your bootloader to change from NE2210 to NE2213 or NE2215. This is why I was a bit confused as to how the bootloader will come locked.
Feeling a bit more reassured that you have the same device with OxygenOS flashed.
Can I ask what region you are from as you have NE2215. I am led to believe NE2213 is for Europe?

My advice would be to get the NE2213 and avoid the chinese variants.
Sooner or later you'll hit a snag..

I have not and would not buy a device out of region.. Reason being is because there are quite a few things that could go wrong..
Main one is warranty, and for what? So you can save a few pennies, that's a penny wise and pound foolish decision.
What will happen when OnePlus "fix" your device if it goes wrong? You'll end up back on the Chinese firmware.
Are the basebands the same? Will it work when 13 is released? Is preformance the same?
Each to their own, but i just wouldn't risk saving a small amount of money for the potential problems they may arise.
Look at the threads created by poor souls who attempted to save money.

I'm considering doing exactly this. I want a 512GB phone and the only option is the CN white panda. Can't do it otherwise. Was hoping for the 10T to offer 512GB but it ended up not (also is a downgrade in many areas)

Received delivery, transferring everything (apps + data) over from the current phone.
It was flashed to NE2215, not sure if this is correct for UK.
Hopefully it will receive OTA update. It came with Feb 22 security patch. It is updating to Jun 22 security patch.
Phone looks great though.
