A friend of mine has the chinese version of the Note, the I9220. It doesn't have the android market, so I was wondering if it's possible to install that on there? Or, a better solution, that if there's any custom roms that are compatible with the I9220?
I've gone through most of the roms in the development forum and none of them states that if it's compatible with the I9220.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As far as I know there is no i9220 note, unless is a prototype unit.
I9220 is the Chinese (china) variant of the international version of the note. So yes, it exists. Unfortunately, everyone here is on international N7000, so can't really help, best to do a nandroid backup and try.

If yours is the chinese version, not a single rom here is supported.
Apparently, it's also the codename for the European Note.
There are apparent hardware differences between China's version and European's version. You will brick your device flashing any firmware here.
Hi there!
Is it possible to update this phone to Windows 8.1 or 8.1.1?
If yes, how?
thanks and regards
I can build Custom ROM for W2, but i need this device
In my country this model is a rarity but I'm looking for, maybe someone wants to sell it at a reasonable price

I found Huawei W2 on ebay.pl: http://www.ebay.pl/itm/HUAWEI-ASCEN...41386969331?pt=DE_Handy_s&hash=item20eb51f0f3
Seller is from Germany....
Hello
I'm a new user here and i dont have technical fidelity so i beg for your understanding.
I'm planning to buy this tablet, since its not released officially in my country, the seller asked me whether i want chinese ROM or International ROM. I choose the International ROM, is it a good choice? I'm buying the 64/4 LTE version
Once i got it, I'm planning to upgrade it to the latest firmware and have it available to root but not planning to root it [just so in future if i need to root it, i can do it]. Is there any guide that can help me to do this?
I havent find one [might missed it] but is there any fool proof guide to do this? I'm really afraid to brick the phone since its not released officially in my country might not have any warranty.
Also is there any guide for the jargon used here? whats EMUI? whats TWRP? Whats bootloader?
Thanks, i'm new to these things so i hope for your understanding
Also a side question : will this tablet get Oreo support in future?
I live in Canada. Considering ordering from the website below (giztop). It says "global firmware" in description but global version is not out yet? So I'm unsure if this is indeed global.
https://www.giztop.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-7.html/
Edit: I contacted customer service asking if it's Chinese or Global. It's Chinese with Play Store pre-installed
You can buy it in that site, it will be shipped like two days after the official release. But I recommend you to wait for the Pro version.
Be patient, wait for the pro version or wait 2 weeks after the launch
If it's shipped with a global rom and the official global rom has not been released yet, then I'd recommend not buying it. It's most likely a Vendor ROM, which looks exactly like MIUI, but won't get any updates and you'll have no idea what else has been tampered with (which you could argue you don't with any ROMs). A vendor ROM also makes it a lot more difficult to unlock bootloader and get custom rom on your phone.

It's confusing though cuz they say "All smartphones install global software, with Google Play service, and support OTA updating" under the description.
https://www.giztop.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-7.html/
-On the same website, when it's Chinese version, it says right there in the same description box "Chinese version, English, Chinese only".

How would you find out whether the official global ROM has been released yet or no? I searched for the official ROM on miui website to see if there is a global ROM yet but the phone is not listed yet.

What is the expected release date for the Note 7 Pro?
I was planning on getting the Note 7 tomorrow when it's released, but was concerned about lack of Gapps and possibly English language pack so came here.

after the Chinese New Year, it looks like February 5th
The link I posted is the Chinese Rom
Any idea when the Global version will be out for the Note 7?
Heres a statement from a canadian.
DO NOT BUY RN7 IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO USE A CANADIAN CARRIER.
They simply do not support ALOT of the canadian bands unless youre ok with 3G All the time.
BTW: order it from aliexpress. they're wellknown and sell almost EVERY redmi device ex: Redmi note 5 pro
Anyone knows the realest date of the global version?

Most likely February, if you can't wait get the redmi note 6 pro or mi a2 lite.
I read somewhere that Redmi Note 7 Pro will be released 25.02.2019 ?
I suppose that we should wait two months for official release of global ROM
So the Chinese version will not have the additional bands even once flashed with a Global ROM?
Also the Chinese version will have an English language pack, but no Google Apps? So no play store etc.
Is this correct?

Just want to confirm one final thing, provided the Chinese bands work on my local network providers - if I order a Chinese version will I be able to flash it with a Global ROM once the global ROM becomes available?
I am thinking about waiting for the Redmi Note 7 Pro, however I have noticed that currently with the Redmi Note 7 which is being sold as a global version on sites such as Banggood and Gearbest the price is significantly higher than what it retails for on the official Mi.com website. (Roughly $175 on Mi.com vs $250 or more on the other sites).
So if I know that I will be able to flash the global ROM once it is released (hopefully within a week or two of the Chinese release) then I will try get a Redmi Note 7 Pro from the Mi.com chinese site and the shipping will take around 2 weeks to reach me. So by the time I receive it hopefully a global ROM will be available for me to flash it and I will then have an almost equivalent version of a global ROM (different network bands though).
Does this sound as if it would work? Am I forgetting or misunderstanding anything?
what's the difference btw this and pro version?

The Pro version has not been announced yet. But it will come with a Sony 48 MP sensor, better Snapdragon processor (maybe 675 or 710). I far as I know, that's the only things informed by people. It should be announced by the second week of February.
Which Firmware Can I Flash For G9750 Model S10 Plus? English Version
You've asked the question I was thinking about asking, but not sure where to put or ask it.
I'm considering buying a new S10+ (G9750) from Wonda Mobile as it's so much cheaper than in the UK, but you also get the slightly better performing device.
So I'm hoping by bumping this thread we might get an answer.
Hi,
there are only two firmwares available for the S10 plus SM-G9750 version april 2019:
- One from China with usless chinese stuff and no Google stuff intended for chinese users: Version: G9750ZCU1ASD4 (ZCU is the chinese version code and CSC is CHC).
- The other one from Hong Kong with Google stuff and intended for international users (Much more langages available at start-up but the very first one will be chinese when the cell phone starts after a factory restet) Version: G9750ZHU1ASD4 (Be sure to have ZHU in the code and CSC is TGY)
So for international users, the only option will be the ZHU firmware version and if you buy it from Canada or England for exemple, sellers are supposed to ship you the Hong-Kong version.
I'm from Canada, I bought it in Canaba and I have tested both firmwares with Magisk.
By the way, you are welcome.
I've just created an account to thank you for the info! I was about to flash mine to the Chinese version thinking it was better!!!!
Have A Play Store In China Firmware ?

As I said above : No Google stuff.
I would like to inform you that with the Chinese firmware, the phone doesn't behave normally: None of the app runs in background so you have to modify that in the settings. if not none of the widgets will work for example.
Samsung pay is pre-installed and there is an annoying white bar at the bottom of the phone (in the navigation bar). you can get rid of it with titanium backup.
As I said, if you are not Chinese, don't use this firmware. If you want to install it, you'll have to download the play store apk.
Does the white bar appear on just the Chinese version or both HK and Chinese versions?
TIA

Just the Chinese version.
Note that you can easily swap between two versions of the firmware, so it doesn't really matter which one the phone is shipped with if buying from Ebay or similar.
And just to echo @oceliome's post — G9750 is a dual-sim version with Snapdragon processor (as opposed to Exynos for dual-sim versions in Europe and elsewhere), so you cannot flash firmware from other dual-sim versions of G975FD.
Almost two months and no updates. It's really unbelievable.
Well from what I am reading here, I'm not going to be buying a new S10 series phone.
I'm not going to buy an inferior Exynos powered one and I'm not prepared to buy a Snapdragon one either which doesn't work with Google Pay or PayPal with 100% reliability and now seemingly isn't receiving any firmware updates.
I've also received reports from my friends that there are significant issues with the Bluetooth connectivity to VW/Audi group cars infotainment systems which seem to prevent you making and taking handsfree phone calls and using Android Auto as well.
I'll be watching the market for something else which meets my requirements.

Hi. I am planning to buy g9750 from expansys and I'm in UAE. Will I be affected in any of the software issues or network issue or something? Need your expert suggestions since you are using one.
Can I change my S10 plus version from G9750ZCU2ASG7 (China) to G9750ZHU2ASG7(Hong Ko
Hi I bought an S10 plus from China with no Google apps. I manually downloaded it but I want Google apps installed as system apps because I'm having issues with my Google assistant. Can I change my Chinese version to Hong Kong version because they are similar if I'm not mistaken. The reason I want to do this so that I can get Google apps preinstalled as system apps.
If I can do this, how do I do it and also do I lose my data on my phone? Also will Google apps now be system apps on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Reckon the firmware is interchangeable because the same hardware on both variants, I have G9750 (the China mainland one) myself and use Google's bells and whistles but not so much of the Google assistant though (currently located in China mainland) can't be all the time connected to the VPN

The latest firmware for Hong Kong devices (CSC TGY) has English Language Support, all that needs to be done is change the language in settings after startup. You'll have access to Google Playstore, Samsung Pay and many other apps. It also lacks the bloatware associated with carrier branded devices and the bootloader is unlocked which allows you to root the device.
