Do all versions of this phone have the same hardware? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

A few short questions:
Do all versions of this phone have the same hardware?
Can regional versions be changed seamlessly through local upgrade? Specifically, from Hydrogen (CN) to Oxygen (EU)
Where can OxygenOS latest version be downloaded? It doesn't appear to be posted here yet.
UPDATE: Yes, it's very easy to change from HydrogenOS to OxygenOS, see guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/oneplus-8-pro-change-hydrogenos-to-t4100231
Thanks!

Yotaphone getting too hot

Hello Everybody,
I bought a Yotaphone 2 model YD206 at Gearbest. The Smartphone arrived with Android KitKat, I used for some time and it was OK, but after updating to Android 5 ROM CN it started getting too hot while casual using such as Facebook, E-mail, Whatsapp.
Is that normal? I expected that it could get warm only while playing games or using GPS, but for my surprise it is getting too hot only for normal usage.
Is there anyone who get the same problem? If I change to another rom such RU or EU can solve the problem?
I already root the phone and also installed xposed together with L Speed to see if the problem persists, but it is still happening.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a chinese version of Lollipop?
Anyway, I see many people like you complaining about the phone getting hot after an upgrade. My guess is that its related to the baseband version. Since your model is YD206, are you sure you have flashed the correct chinese baseband with this so-called CN firmware (isn't it HK? Isn't it for YD201 models?)?

Yes, the model before updating was YD206 CN and after flashing to Android 5 it changed to YD201 HK 1.124d.
Is there a CN firmware running Android 5? I only found HK. Maybe this is the reason it is getting hot, the baseband / radio from these versions are different, can it be?
Yeah, I would definitely flash the YD206 baseband.
In this thread here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/guide-everything-to-yotaphone2-t3547194), there's a revamped version of the YotaFlasher attached to the first post. With this one, it is possible to select what to flash individually to the device, i.e, whether system+radio+userdata, or only system, or only radio etc. With that you can choose to flash only the radio files from YD206 firmwares.
Use this reworked YotaFlasher, download any chinese Kitkat firmware and make sure to allow to flash only the radio binaries when prompted.

Latest stock version for EU devices - OTAs and security updates

Hey, can anyone provide and confirm which version of the stock firmware fits EU devices best? I bought used device with custom rom on it, and I'm curious which version should be base for my EU (german) device to get legit OTAs and security updates for my region? I'm a bit confused, because I couldn't find any proper adnotation for each firmware out there.
In other words, which stock rom versions will be suitable for European retEU XT1685 Moto G5 Plus? I don't want to mess something up if some stock firmwares are not meant to be flashed on EU device.
Please cleanse my concerns.
Cheers!
Mine is running NPNS25.137-33-5 also on reteu

I see, so you started from flat NPNS25.137-33? How about the -67 version on EU devices, as it fixes some issues ie with camera recording?
Thats only on retin, this is the latest on reteu.
Hmm I installed myself -35 version before, in settings i had retEU, but couldn't get any ota updates and was on january securities.

Npns or nps firmware?

NPNS Or NPN? What are the differences of being versions of the Firmware? I currently have an XT1687 US Version With the NPNS version (I installed it) but I do not know if something changes in those firmware versions

In general, all Moto's are like this:
XXX - Original factory flash or initial release
XXXS - OTA Update
The firmware itself is identical.

I know this thread is a bit dated but I just searched and found it, as I was curious what the difference in the file names where. Mine is a g5s plus, but it would still pertain to my curiosity. The file I'm looking at are nps and npss.
Thankyou for your simplistic and straight forward answer acejavelin. It clears things up good.
I didn't want to download an india version of the rom, so this helped me a lot, ty ty!

Use FF to update BTV-DL09C433B001 ?

Newb here. Live in the US, just got a Mediapad M3 with version BTV-DL09C433B001 ( EMUI 4.2.3 and Android 6 ). The sim from my iPad works great and I can make and receive calls. Everything seems to work ok.
Like anyone I want the latest Android and EMUI. Is it worth it? should I bother? I am an actual embedded developer, so this stuff isn't way out of my league, I just don't know exactly what to do for this device on this platform.
I found FF and it show a lot of images that I can apply. I guess C433 means spcseas region. I heard that C233 installs Chinese and that may be the latest but comes with limits like no Google. I have three questions:
1) can I install an image for a different region (Cxx) without breaking everything,
2) can I install a fullOTA image rather than tediously stepping up image by image, and
3) which region (Cxx) should I go with to continue to work in the US?
Thanks in advance if you bother to have answers

I have the same Model with the same question. Were you ever able to get updated to Nougat?
You may need to change your region oeminfo partition before flashing another regions firmware. If you dont certain things might or might not work properly.
Any help on my ME us edition BTV-DL09C433B001 would be much appreciated.
I also have the M3 Btv-dl09c433b001 version.
It appears this version is not getting any support from Hauwai. I am still on Android 6.
Does anyone have a way to update my version to 7.0?
I did try to download and install BTV-DL09C199B350 on to my M3 but it didn't work. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
I would read this thread on how I upgraded to 7.0.

B04 oreo update!?

I'm currently running on lineage os 15.1,the room is great but it's draining battery as hell,and sound is not that great! If you install last update is the room support gacm? Natively ? thanks ,and sorry for my bad English
no
Maybe? It have stock cam,that is very good.But you should try it
someone on a different forum tried the gcam port and tried to use it on b04. they reported back it did not work. so it's not enabled to work natively. flashing @raystef66's .zip could work but I don't know if the system partition is writeable. I asked in the main B04 thread we have now and nobody answered so far.
I'm so confused about the bootsector updates, b04, b11, if BO4 is the newest why are there later numbers released before b11, b20? Are those just for different countries?
Is the B04 only been released for the 2017g and not the 2017u model yet? only for germany and not for the US yet?

They are from different countries and use other version numbers. Oreo B04 is the latest for the A2017G which is the European version of the phone.
A2017U is the US version and Oreo B20 is the latest for that one. That doesn't mean the US version is the newest just because it has a higher number. As i said, they europe and US use different numbers naming them.

That makes sense ok thanks.. So is B4 in some way better then B20, it does seem to be newer.
