Few questions regarding my new Rog 2 phone - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

Evening all!
I bought a new Rog phone 2 this week from ebay. Sold as new from the UK.
Its the 12gb / 512gb version of the phone. Its says tencent on the back of the phone but appears to have a ww firmware installed. This is 1908 something or other
Doing an update ota says nothing is available, and downloading a newer ww update and trying to install by recovery doesn't work either as I don't even get the option to update. I only get power off, reboot, wipe data factory reset or reset bootloader. Nothing to allow me to update.
Has this phone been messed with prior to my buying it?
I only ask because there are couple of apps I'd like to use like Netflix etc, that just won't allow me to install from the play store.

Check your device fingerprint matches your rom, you need to have fingerprint matching your WW rom.
Use device info hw from playstore to check. It's under system, you need your rom, fingerprint and product id to match
get it here

My product ID says CNi 001D
Fingerprint is CN 1908
Software is WW 1908

Then you need to change fingerprint to WW too...

I have different issues; no update even though my HW displays as below:
Product ID: WW_l001D
Finterprint: asus/WW_l001D/ASUS_l001_1.9/PKQ1... (Firmware version)
Device: ASUS_l001_1
What do I need to do for manual OTA?

For the latest .44 you'll need to download the raw rom, extract it to root of c drive, remove or delete the original zip from the same folder (if it's in there), then run flashall_AFT.cmd, wait 5-10 minutes then the phone will restart once it's done. You won't lose any data...
Find the raw rom in this thread...

Thanks. I've successfully upgraded it.

Samsung Note 9 will not update 8.1.0

Hi, don't know if anyone can help?
I live in the UK and have a Samsung Note 9 which came from the UAE. The phone will not update and is currently Android version 8.1.0 with security patch dated 01/11/18.
I have tried updating via Samsung Smart Switch.
I have cleared the cache, done a factory reset and checked if the phone is rooted, which it isn't.
I believe the only way to update the android version is to do it manually, can anyone help with this.

As far as I understand, your phone has OXM which includes multi CSC, so it doesn't matter which firrmware you can download and flash.
If you have doubt, just install Samsung Phone Info from playstore. In CSC code tab, check what is its original csc.
Use samfirm or frija to download at very high speed.

This is multi csc firmware so don't worry it will detect your sim card and select csc/country code automatically where you live.

Pls help. How to upgrade firmware for my Cn version global rom ww set?

Hi Guys my phone is a tencent global rom ww phone it has google store in the phone originally when i unsealed it. i do not know how to update the firmware as it does not ever detect new softwares.
I have alrradly download the firmware file but the phone is not detecting it for me to update
I wish someone can guide me. Will pay u (serious)
Ps i finally updated the software i had not placed the file in the internal storage earlier
No need to pay!
Plenty of discussion/ guides already on this very forum - just look for it. Also Google can be your friend - there are walk-through videos on this topic.
Essentially, flash the WW RAW you want to upgrade to.
If you have already downloaded the FW you want to upgrade to, make sure:
- it has the default Asus naming format
- it is located in the root of your 'internal storage'
- ?toggle on 'automatic system updates' in Developer Options
- phone restart may help detect the FW file for system update

Verizon software keeps reinstalling on Pixel 4XL

Hi, i have a Pixel 4XL
baseband version g8150-00123-220402-B-8399852
i think its american , but i have installed the australian firmware on it , after a factory reset , and install a custom rom
this verizon software keeps reinstalling... can anyone clear up if this is spyware hidden ( i got the phone from a dodgy supplier online)
i want to remove it , yet it keeps reinstalling after multiple wipes.. i have erased slot a and b , reflashed recovery , reflashed firmware.
i intially thought it was reinstalling as it was linked to the baseband but from what i understand installing the Australian firmware should remove this system app ..
can anyone tell me how i can completely wipe this phone so this is removed. Do i need to edit the kernal to change the baseband someone at the phone shop suggested editing the Build Prop is this correct ? and if so how does one go about this.

I believe it's "normal" to have My Verizon Services, AppDirectedSMS and com.verizon.llkagent on your phone, although they should be disabled if not using Verizon (I have them on my Pixel 6 Pro but they are disabled). These 3 came with the phone out of the box and aren't spyware, but there in case you have a Verizon model or on the Verizon network, I believe.
If you really wanted to uninstall them you could root and try uninstalling them, but just disabling them should suffice.

i am in australia. using a american verison pixel, i was able to unlock the bootloader on the locked verizon version, and flashed australian firmware. but the verizon software wont remove unless i manually do it.
Does anyone know how to stop sprint / Verizon system applications from reinstalling, I can remove them with root but when I restart that creates a bootloop.. It is a american pixel. But I'm in Australia, I have tried flashing Australian firmware yet the problem persists, surely someone on here has the knowledge of how to do this, I was told on stack that it has to do with carrier - ID / device ID.
Hmm, have you tried moving to the USA, signing up with Verizon as a service provider, and then cancelling and moving back to Australia?
Jokes aside, you could try disabling or uninstalling it via ADB? Let me know how you go.

S20FE rooted super weird problem

Hi, im kinda desperate cause i really dont know what to do , here is my issue:
I bought a second hand s20fe i didnt know but its rooted and i want to remove it
The problem is that i tried booting it to download mode removing the root and trying to flash a original samsung stock firmware from odin, but it keep getting a error. Well i realized that the phone original model is SM G780G
And that the software that it had , was the SM G780F
So i downloaded a software for the G780F and apparently it worked with odin
But i want the original G780G software... what can i do?

I'm pretty sure your problem is:
you want to install a system with wrong binary.
Go into download mode and see what binary you have.
After you are sure which binary has downloaded the system you need and that's it.
if you have binary 3
upgrade to binary 3
If you can show a photo of what binary you have to observe.
Binario 1

I would like to tell you the full problem tho if you are so kind to give me a hand. I bought the s20fe second hand and it was rooted with a patched imei (the box and the software imei didnt match), i checked both imei and they are not blocked , so the phone isnt stolen. But here is the thing, the model in the box says 780G, and this software is 780F, the soft and the imei doesnt match. I tried rooting and unrooting, but now i dont have signal and i still have the same imei and software version, i would like to switch to the original imei cause im sure im able to use it , as well i would like to install the proper software version.

the equipment is not G780G.
1.G780G goes up to binary 4
2.G781B arrives
up to binary 5
3.G781U /U1 /V / N / W . go up to binary A(10)
4.G780F reaches binary A(10)
your equipment is a G780F and not a G780G. You can never load a system from another team, only from your variant.
Download an example system:
G780FXXUAFWB6
Currently there is the binary B(11).
luck.
unfortunately
it was advisable to leave it as it was when buying it.
if everything worked fine, there was no need to update.
just leave it with the system that was already installed.
since to change the imei, chimeratools, z3x is used. etc
They are paid applications and experience is required for it.
I used the z3x, that's why I'm telling you.
I dont understand, cause the model is in the back of the phone...

It didnt worked fine tho, i had a very low signal, now that i made a mess of course i would love to be back, but i dont know how to install a signal patch and i doubt that samsung would help me if im out of warranty, so i basically lost half of my saves on a phone that i can barely use now... what a luck

Personally, it is impossible to install an exynos system on a snapdragon.
It's like putting the engine from one car to another, just like that.
the cover says one thing, your phone another.
the caps are interchangeable.
Those can be put from an s20 fe exynos to a snapdragon.
check well.
personally you have a G780F.
try not to upload to binary B(11)
you will have to pay to solve the problem.
install software that it had initially, if the system was binary 9, it will be impossible.

the interchangeable cap make sense and also solve the imei trouble, i will choose to believe in your experience. But logically, then the email should be the one that is on the software right? and not in the cap? i already installed that version you told me, but how can i restore the signal? i just need to restore that and i will be able to sleep cause ive been awake almost 10 hours trying to figure out this mess
I really don't know if you can fix it.
I think your equipment was only rooted. The signal always worked.
I never touched the imei of your equipment.
It may even be that you are presenting a software error. once going to binary B. you will not be able to return to binary A.
if the problem does not recover without any update. It could be a problem with the internal antennas.
that they are disconnected.
I realized the problem, the case was switched indeed. And the original imei was changed because it was blocked. Since i update to the most recent binary and there is no chance to downgrade that, i wont be able to use sim cards anymore or at least until there is a new versión for patching the signal. I dont know which program the technicians use so i dont know if im ever going to recover the phone. An awful purchase and a even better movement from my part trying to update the android and removing the root. Im just disappointed, i hope this thread helps someone to not make the same mistakes...
At this point i dont even mind to pay for a signal patch, but there isnt a update for the system they use to do it. If someone knows anything about it, would be pretty helpful.
I understand what you're saying:
As a technician I understand.
Always before making changes, you have to know what we are getting into.
If you already knew that the imei was repaired and patched, for nothing in the world to update.
as advice, do not upgrade to binary B
stay in binary A.
The solution will come out, it always comes out for computers with an unlockable bootloader.
stay on february patch one ui 5.1 with binary A.
The rest are security updates.
Before listening to me, check that the system does not contain bugs.
in the best of cases, repair and sell, buy a G780G or G781B
luck.
