ROG PHONE Tencent Edition ROM Update - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

I purchased a ROG Phone II from ebay not knowing I was getting the Chinese Tencent edition, I got the 512GB phone with 12GB of RAM. I tried checking for updates and I don't seem to see any available OTA so how can I update it to Android OS 10?
It's running this: PKQ1.190414.001.WW_Phone-16.0631.1910.44-0
Model is: ASUS_I001DB
Also it seems to be working fine with T-Mobile... What are the real differences with this phone and the global edition?

There are some tutorials right here!!
And The global edition one are the Bands (like 800mhz one, 4G), the RAM and ROM (Tencent has 8GB RAM, 128GB ROM) and I don't know what else

I can't find a guide that seems to apply to this version of the phone, this one has a glass back and looks and feels like the global version.

Mine is a Tencent from eBay. They put the WW rom on it but left the fingerprint as CN so I couldn't update OTA.
I followed the change the finger print tutorial on xda and then updated by downloading the WW rom from Asus.com

Did you find a guide for this specific version of the OS? 16.0631.1910.44 I can only find other versions of the guide.

Once you unlock the boot loader with the Asus app, change the finger print and relock. the version of rom shouldn't matter.

Google pay not working

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.

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?

V409N to Internacional Version

Hello, some wise person to help me.
You see, I bought the LG V40 128GB Korean Version on AliExpress, I bought it that way because it was very cheap, at $ 230 remanufactured, but they gave it to me as impeccable as new, the fact is that, it is the U + version, and it has some Parts are in Korean and have a couple of apps that are the same and cannot be deleted, I have seen that this model can be flashed with other versions, so the question is, can I install the international version? And if so, could you give me the specific version to flash, a while ago I managed to install the latest version that is this "v409n20h_00_lgu_kr_op_1004.kdz", thanks

Tencent version

Hi knowledgeable people,
Iam from the UK and know the rog 3 won't be coming here, so I need to buy it from elsewhere. The tencent version is for sale with an international rom. I know the phone will work with the bands and what not but how will the software work? Ota? Will there be parts in Chinese or is the international rom the global one?
Thanks in advance.
Currently they are coming with the Chinese rom as far as I know but last year flashing the international rom was a fairly easy process.

[Q] CN to WW

What's the current status on XDA re. CN to WW conversion guides?
Is CN to WW conversion possible for ROG 3? If so how? Is such guide allowed on XDA forum? (previous topics on this subject seem to have links deleted etc)
I am seeking to root ROG 3 & have custom kernel/ custom ROM installed when available - can I do this on CN variant?
Pros/ cons of CN vs WW variants besides Playstore/ GPay/ chinese vs google bloatware etc?
Any takers re. above questions?
If CN to WW conversion is truly possible; does this change the network band coverage in any way?
Asus has said that it is possible to flash the WW firmware onto CN phones, but you will have certificate issues apparently. However my concern is on the radio. Does the CN version have the "Version A" radio or the "Version B" one? The latter is undesirable especially if you're from the Americas since it lacks the 700MHz bands that the continent uses.
I converted and all fine and all work.

I have same concerns too.
Also, how can one even tell if the ROG 3 they want to buy is "version A" or "version B" based on the retail package box info?

Just do what I say.
1- turn on your pc or laptop
2- open XDA forum
3- open this link
4- do the same that guy do on video
PS : don't need to do on version of the video ..you just need to download last raw available.
That's all
