Hallo Community,

Rom Supports about 20 languages (dialects)
in menu sytemupdate rom is named 5.9.020s_12312 (stabile version)
play store was pre installed so i am doubtful.

In the X720 (China) in the official ROMs there are no gapps. No PlayStore.

its confusing with different models and Rom series
5.8/5.9
I will need to check forum how to upgrade or change rom . i was hoping i could update OTA.

Change Hydrogen OS to Oxygen OS

Well I've already got a One Plus 6T from China, really new with this.
I also have no experience with One Plus variants. Could I change the current Hydrogen OS of my new OP to International version Oxygen OS after unlocking its bootloader
:highfive: Really appreciate your answer and help.

Seems like a relatively simple procedure,there's an existing discussion here:

Updates for MI 9T Russia

Hi,
I bought a MI 9T few days ago from Amazon, I'm from Italy and the announcement said "global version", but I received a russian version instead…
No problems configuring it in my language and so on, but my system now is Android 9, MIUI 10.3.10.0 PFJRUXM, security patch 2019-07-01. No updates available, it says...
Searching around I've found that Global and UE versions can be updated to Android 10/MIUI 11, but there seems to be no updates for Russian yet.
Can you please confirm that?
Someon knows why (I don't think there are hardware differences, right?) and if the update will be available soon for Russian model too?
Otherwise, is there a simple way to force the update using Global or UE ROMs?
Or I better return the phone to Amazon…

Thank you for the asnwer, but i think the recovery firmware you linked is for Mi 9, not Mi 9T.
And the other one is the ROM I have already (but I don't know why the site says MIUI 11)

Sorry, yes, I overlooked that 11.0.3.0 is for Mi 9 (without T)
Then, you can see from that both sites that yours is the latest RU version released
Hi! I've the same problem that you have.
I've found the latest Russia Stable ROM with MIui 11, but still on Android 9. Anyway it's better than the MIui 10. I think we'll get the Android 10 version this or next month, don't worry.
Download (just delete the * in the link bellow)
https*://c.mi.com/thread-2930918-1-0.html
Same problem. Really odd
Ok, so today i downloaded and manually installed v 11.0.3.0, with MIUI 11 but still on Android 9 (as elstylon said) and security patch 2019-10-01.
That's the latest, at present. Hope To receive Android 10 soon...
Still I can't understand why RU models receive less updates than other versions, and always later!
(because I don't think there's any difference between Global, EEA and Russia ROMs...)
Same problem still miui 10.3.1
Hi, same problem here. Still on miui 10.3.1
Zelig where you got miui 11.0.3 for russia Mi 9t? From elstylon post? From OTA Update?
You update with choose package manually?

I've found the file on another site, but it's the same of elstylon post.
Downloaded on the phone, then forced manually update from the ZIP file.

Do you notice anything difference? Can you link it? Thanks!
There are no big news, to be honest, but in my opinion it is always worth updating, when you can (bugfixes, security patch...).

Even camera UI is still the same?
I haven't used it much before updating, so I may be wrong, but to me it looks the same...

MIUI 11.0.3.0(QFJRUXM)

There definitely is a difference, the global version is pretty much worldwide, the EEA version is more more for the European market, Also is Widevine L1 for streaming netflix, Amazon etc... In full had. I believe the EEA models were created with the options to completely turn of ads and bloat, also complies with gdpr regulations. The Russian one I found really like the global but updates are much slower, mine came shipped with EEA. Also you can change this with unlocking the bootloader, flashing the desired rom and relocking again. Download all roms from mifirm.net
Conversion between RUX, MIX and EUX is posible without unlocking bootloader...
Here is Russian guide, use translator, is short and with pictures...

First check your mobile phone version here:
https://www.mi.com/global/verify#/en/tab/imei
!!!if you see Chinese characters, do not continue in this manual!!!
!!!you can destroy the phone!!!
PS: soryy for my "super" english
Has anyone tried this?
I did it! I switched from RU to Global!
hi, i am experiencing black screen now. i updated my Mi 9t Ru Version around 2 weeks ago
and last night suddenly i got black screen when watching youtube but can be back to normal again but this morning it happened again.
any idea how?

OnePlus 8 Pro Global Rom

Hey everyone,
I'm currently in China and I'm thinking of buying the OnePlus 8 Pro. However, the Mainland 8 Pro currently only comes with the new Hydrogen OS, and limits use of certain features that I, as a user from the U.S. would like to use. The global website only has roms for download for up to the 7T Pro, not the 8 Pro yet. I'm wondering if there is any way to flash the global rom onto the 8 pro at this point. If not, I guess I'll have to reconsider my choices.
Thanks for the help.
P.S. Sorry, I'm a bit new to all this, so if there are any issue with my question, or if its unclear to you. Please let me know.

Thanks a ton!
You might want to reconsider... The 5g frequencies differ from the models... I'm not sure where I read it but do some extra research before buying and not fully functioning back home...

Wasn't able to flash. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted no problem. But then whenever I try to flash to Oxygen, it says that I am not allowed to "downgrade". I think because the nomenclature for Oxygen is lower than that of Hydrogen right now.

Have you tried the msm tool? the one which flashes OOS, but it will relock your bootloader and wipe the internal storage, cheers

Best Android version for ZTE Axon 7 (A2017G)

Hi All,
I have a ZTE Axon 7 (model A2017G) android version 7.1.1, build ZTE A2017GV1.2B10, Kernel 3.18.31, european version
I'm looking for what is the best android version for this phone currently, in terms of performance and features. Also a safe version without malware spyware ect
With the version I have it can be slow with apps and miss many feature for instance i can't block a caller etc not sure why i installed it from package i got here.
I'm not looking for last android version or anything just the one that will make the phone best perform. It's from 2017 after all.
If you can let me know also where i can download this best version ?
many thanks !
I'm sorry I don't know what the best version is, but these forums have at least two modern CM 16's for Axon7. One thread is
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-9-0-0_r46-a2017x-official-crdroid-v5-12-final.3952855/page-18
I would recommend updating to official 8.0 version B04. Works well and is an improvement over 7.1

Where can I find this version to download? Do disable encryption for TWRP work in that version? I couldn't disable it in B02 Oreo version no matter which method I tried :/
