Hey So I just Bought One From Ebay And it came with global rom ( thts what the seller told me) . can you guys confirm if i have a global rom or i have to install myself? Sorry for my English
.. anybody?
Hi, you have the global ROM but CN fingerprint. Your ROM update will not happens unless you also change the fingerprint to WW. There's guide in this forum on how you can change the fingerprint to WW to match the ROM
Any tencent version with ww ROM is not official by Asus and therefore Asus will void the warranty since the device has been opened and reflashed with non official ROM. Asus recommends you to return item to seller asap if you want a official device.

Hi ! I have a noob question
They had three models of mi 8 the 64/128 & 256Go storage and two various models Global Version & a Chinese Version.
But really they had only one version per models of mi 8 but different Firmware of mi 8 ? Exemple for the 64Go model storage this is the same hardware of mi 8 and only the firmware change ? Chinese version or Global version ?
Thank you

Ok thanks for response.
But I see with link if you use Global phone you can't use miui china version ?
If I unlock my BL and flash Custom Rom Xiaimi.eu based on China miui version Rom !
They had mistake if I make Ota update of Xiaomi.eu Rom ? No risk lock it and brick it ?
Ps : Yes I understand just don't flash the chinese stable or dev Rom and vise versa !!! With Custom Rom no mistake just if you use miflash don't lock.
Thanks.
You can have every custom rom you want.. for example xiaomieu,it doesnt mean something what kind of source it is. You can use xiaomieu based on china rom with your global version smartphone!
Btw xiaomieu doesnt have ota updates you need to flash manually from twrp every time.
Hi there I have a chinese k20 or I was thinking it's chinese from the color of the box and the stickers on the back my question is my device's bootloader already unlocked and flashed the indian rom on it I've noticed from cpu-z that the board name is raphaelin which is the indian variant is it possible that the name changed due to the current rom(indian)?
Yes, it changed due to flashing Indian rom.

Oh thanks I was so confused
I'll be receiving this phone with a Chinese version on it, is it possible to flash the eu/global version on it?
Nope and not gonna happen anytime soon, I ended just buying another phone
One seller told me that they were sending a chinese phone with the global rom and another one told me that it was the chinese rom but that they gave me an easy process to add google apps.

There is a global ROM version of this phone. And I believe there are less issues than the CN ROM for non-China users.
I have a CN ROM version and I've removed all the bloatware and installed Google apps.. but it's still not the same as a pure global ROM.
There are many small differences that cannot be fixed so easily with the CN version. Such as the Google Assistant can't be accessed with the long press home button. Also, some of the apps still show the Chinese version even when downloaded in English.
I would suggest spending a bit more and home straight for the global ROM.

I think it happened in realme q to relme 5 pro, they ported the global rom. Check the forum
I hope so.. Thanks for the update
CN > Global
I wonder if this is possible? If so, then it will be possible to take the Chinese version. And if all the same, Realme protected the system so that it is impossible to do? All the same, the device is distributed in different countries.
I have the tencent version with 512gb and WW fingerprint but I downloaded the latest update from asus (UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-17.0210.2001.60-1.1.97-user.zip) and renamed it to update.zip and put it on the root directory and rebooted and it asked me about the system update I say yes and I get an error, so I tried ADB sideload in recovery and i get this error terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc
can anyone help me install this update?
Hi, first off there's 2 versions on ASUS website, CN & WW. Ensure you downloaded WW & try to flash it without changing the name , in root folder , restart device.
Same issue
I've the same problem. Tencent version with WW fingerprint and failed to install the update when moved to root folder. But I didn't try to sideload it though, not sure if we should?
My current build no: PKQ1.190414.001.WW_Phone-16.0631.1910.35-0

Okay well 1 more thing you can try.
Try to update to beta 7 first and then update directly to beta 10 which is infact the latest Android 10 build, this should work 100%
Saying that, I wouldn't recommend Android 10. It's terrible with battery life, lowers the output sound of the speakers, has issues with 3rd party launchers and makes the phone overheat

Well after hearing all these issues I'll stick with Android 9 for now, thanks anyway
The problem to why update fails is because your tencent version is using WW ROM that is not official one for the tencent version. Tencent version is Chinese version and should be using CN ROM. So update is failing because of device is not meant for WW ROM and secondly you got wrong fingerprint version probably WW when it must also be CN or that it's CN now aswell.
All tencent rog phone 2 with WW ROM is not official device and has been modified by seller, before it was repacked. Asus do not sell tencent version officially with WW ROM, only with CN ROM. So your device has mostlikely no warranty aswell since bootloader is mostlikely unlocked aswell which voids the warranty by seller for reflashing from CN ROM to WW ROM.

I don't know I guess it's just some made up thing they want you to buy. Which is probably not worth it at all.

You must likely need to change fingerprint to WW to match ww rom. You can check if its CN fingerprint using device info hw from playstore. Follow one of the guides here on xda to change
Hi everybody, yesterday finally I got my rog 2. I bought the same 12gb tencent with WW rom installed from seller. I updated it to Android 9 build .64, my question is, after i read this forum, so officially Android 10 is not out yet for the rog2? I read about all this builds, this means that they still are in a test stage right? If so I'll wait for a stable release before update...Thanks
Got 1910.64 with root installed.

You should return your device asap since your device is not official by Asus. Asus do not make tencent version with WW ROM!
Also Android 10 is out for Rog phone 2.

Hi,
I bought k20 pro few days ago (indian) and updated to miui 12 and i really don't like indian so i wanted to flash global or I'm planing to downgrade but i came tk know that indian version has anti roll back enabled so doing it will permanently break my sensors.
I'm requesting the experts to help me in this to not to break my sensors while flashing or downgrading and even if something goes wrong i can't goto service centre because of covid restrictions.
Thanks.

I am from Bangladesh, But My device is Global.
I flashed China Version, Global version, Upgrade version, Down grade version, Never faced any problem.
But don't know more about Indian version.
You can check the above links.
Just always, always, always remember, Never select "Clean All & Lock" with MI flash tool. This is the most important.
