8pro in2020 Chinese variant - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

this Chinese variant is by far the cheapest I can find to buy. Is anyone using this variant with no problems in the US? Are there any problems and steps you need to take to get it working in the US? I keep searching for a guide and haven't found anything

I share the same doubts.
I live in a different area but I didn't find any information about the IN2020 as well - even with the official builds.
I still don't know if I should get it or to pay extra for the global version.

How much would you be saving?

For me is about 300$.
Is anyone knows if I will be limit with the in2020 version?
By limit I mean - unable to flash cretin official and unofficial roms
I really holding my self from buying it until I will get a valid answer.

I'd probably still get the official one, avoid the problem with warranty. Unless you can ship back to China if required..

For the price's differences I can live without a warranty
It's came with "Global Rom" - they are basically opens the phone and flashing this version - that's also a bummer but I can live with it as well.
I just wanna make sure I will not be limited in the future

I'm looking for a decent guide on how to convert to the international version

Just be sure that IN2020 support your local ISP's network bands, since it has the least supported bands of all versions of OP8P, you should be good with it in the US.

I own a OP8P IN2020, I'm from Mexico and I haven't had any problem, I used to use the global Oxygen OS and now I'm on the Open beta, everything works as the global one, just make sure it has the bands you need at your country

Yea, that is the main my concern (bands) too. Does anyone know when installed global rom LTE bands remain the same or they can be extended too. I am precisely interesting in LTE B28.

Yes, that is the problem. You can install global ROM but LTE Bands stay the same like original model.

From what I've researched the bands are fixed and can't be changed via flashing. Like older models.

Mate 7 for European countries

Hello everyone
I have a question about lte band of Chinese version
On Huawei website, we can see that the mate 7 support FDD LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28. Todays, we can find the Chinese version for sell "limited" to bands 1,3,7.
But what I don't understand if the Chinese version got all band if you use it in another country or does it need a firmware mod to activate the other bands?
I need band 3,7 and 20... Can I buy a Chinese one or not? (2gig/16 would be good)
Thanks
This has been answer in our Q&A thread. Please take a look at recent discussion on this topic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/wait-compatible-ascend-mate-7-buy-t2899404
Forum member from Switzerland has reported that the Chinese TL10 works flawlessly and we will hear more news from EU user next week.:fingers-crossed:
And we highly recommend 3 GB RAM, or the premium version. You will notice significant difference when opening multiple APPS.
We will post a root instruction for xda community early next week so that it will be a more fun machine to have.

Hello!
I just came back from a trip to China. Bought my Mate 7 in Shanghai. Its the MT7-UL00 Version.
At the shop they told me it should work in Switzerland. They even installed the Play Store for me (good service).
At the Stop Over in Dubai I had no LTE. So I was a little worried. Now in Switzerland it looks like I have same LTE coverage like I had bevor with my LG G3.
Hope this helps you.

MT7-TL10 Chinese -> European
I just got af Gold Mate 7 (3 bg/32 rom) from China - MT7-TL10.
Its a Chinese version, with Chines text i a few palces (even i chosed Denmark for language) but its also without google or anything - and im living in Europe.
So my question is, how do I get the international version af the software on this phone so I can use it like a normal phone here in Europe?
I would be really thankfull for any help and guidance regarding this issue.
Thank you!
Yep i dreaming of my futur AM7 but for no problem at all like the guaranty, i prefer wait till the european version launch officially. i'm so disappointed the gold version will not sold in europe, oh well the grey/black model will be fine too ^^
the official launch in france will be soon around 12 of november.

You can already buy at amazon.fr, can't you?
they've been selling it since last week. and they already discounted by 20euro in white version yesterday. (looks like it's back to normal price though)
You can buy it EUR 455.70 at amazon.fr now. price dropping so fast. nobody's buying it?
I bought mine on amazon.fr but I have not yet received

I bought the Gold TL10 version from ebay and had the international rom flashed on it. Works fine although i only get 3g hspa with tmobile (which is still pretty fast).
I want to unlock the 4g lte though like the TL09 versions so i cud see how fast the cat6 realli is. Regardless though, this phone is pretty fast to even be in 3g mode.
Can you buy the 3gb ram version from amazon fr?
Also how does warranty work on amazon fr? I live in the uk.
Thanks

It's amazon so warranty usually good if you buy from them. 3gb ram 2gb of ram wont matter much with the Chipset they are using. Feel confident that 2gb will be enough after all the video tests I have seen on YouTube. The 3gb is only the Chinese model which I would not purchase. Get the European model much safer bet.

Hey, I have my MT7 brought over from China. I am using it in the Czech Republic on Vodafone network. I can only get 2G connectivity. No 3G or LTE. in the Settings/Roaming Settings, it identifies my SIM card as "2G" only, and I cannot switch on 4G. I have a brand new nano SIM that should work with our local LTE.
My MT7 model MT7-CL00, build number MT7-CL00V100R001C92B120SP07

You should inquiry before purchasing. The CL00 version, aka China TeleCom version, only recognizes their specific SIM, otherwise, locked at GSM only. Choose a reputable seller in the future.

Yeah I got this as a little gimmick to play with., but it certainly is a disappointment.
Do you think the CL00 version can be loaded with TL10 firmware? I can see CL00 and TL10 differ dramatically in the network and data connectivity support, and TL10 is what I need.

No. There is no way to unlock the SIM and flashing TL10 ROM will not work either. In addition, CL00 uses an additional chip for CDMA2000, which consumes more batteries (only 2/3 of battery life vs. other versions, stated by HUAWEI's website). If you consider TL10, we have Gold color version in stock.
We cannot help you on this version any more.
Good luck!

Converting US version to EU?

In Nexus 5 there is a possibility to activate EU bands on US version. Can we expect it would be possible on 6P too?
I'd like to know this too. If its possible to activate band 28 on the US version for use in Australia by flashing a different radio (Are all the required amps and antenna things there)
I need band 3, 7 & 28 for LTE
Might not be possible , could be a different version of the radio chip that they use for the other version. would be nice if its as easy as just flashing radios but tend to think it will be more hardware
I was hoping this was possible as well! If it was and one wanted to flash a different radio do you need to unlock the bootloader to do this?
Thanks,
M

most of us are still getting our phones..give it a couple weeks
1) Anyone know if the radio-angler-angler-02.15.img contains ALL radios?
2) If I travel from US to Italy/Germany/Japan will flashing that Image get it done or will I need to do something else?
The US version of the Nexus will work in those countries except Japan without any extra work.

Am I right in thinking that if a specific band (i.e. 20, which isn't on the US version) isn't present the phone will simply use another band? Granted, this might not be LTE but still decent speeds.

Just check what radio frequency uses your carrier and check if it is available in the US model.
But if you buy it in the US, the price plus tax, plus shipping, plus tax in Europe, not worth it. Almost about the same price. Unless you have someone to bring it to you and you dont have to pay shipping nor europe tax.

They are all the same version, if you are referring to the gold version there is no way maybe eBay but it will be very expensive, which in my opinion is stupid just for a color.
Even if you do obtain one somehow, warranty service might be extremely painful.

No, , Huawei has made a version for North America which support overall some less LTE bands and has some 1 or 2 specific LTE bands for USA carriers.. Whereas international version support all the available LTE bands so that you can use any sim...

Purchased US version but have WW ROM?

Hey all,
I picked mine up from BH Photo and the model on the box says it's ZE553KL-S625-3G32G-BK which should be the US version but my current firmware is WW_11.41.87.2_20170514.
Did they load the wrong firmware? Send the wrong phone? Or something else? I'm not getting amazing battery life on AT&T so I'm worried I'm missing some bands...
I got mine from Amazon and it's the same build number. I think we both have the WW version and I'm also on ATT but have really good battery life, so I'm not sure why yours is lacking.
You can see what basebands are offered by each version here:

Hi everyone, I'm on the same boat, I got a Zenfon3zoom from Amazon USA and I'm using it in Mexico and currently working fine under VirginMobile with B2 for 4G.
I've not tested other SIMs to see if the other operators work under 4G BUT I've tested searching for other cellphone networks and AT&T which in Mexico works under B4 for LTE shows up, so I've come to the conclusion that my phone in fact is the US/BR version since that's the only one that supports B4.
Maybe you could do the same test?

I used the app "LTE discovery" on the play store. It supposedly tells you which band you're using on at the moment. It appears to have good reviews, and thats how I saw that I was on band 2 or 4 depending on where I was in the city.

.
Sorry I not good at explaining things,
Basically go to: "Settings->More->Cellular Networks->SIM1->Network operators->Search networks"
That will show all networks supported by the phone, after that I just search what bands those network operators work with in my city/county, since the phone can see them, it means those bands are supported by the phone.
My phone can see Mexico's AT&T 4G networks, AT&T 4G LTE in Mexico works with B4, since the ASUS website list BR/US the only version to support B4, my phone is BR/US version.
So I figured out a more definitive way to test which version you have (I have US/BR after all). When you go to fastboot mode it says it under RF_NAME. To do that hold volume down as the phone boots.
I just went through all the firmware on the Asus support page and they are all either for the WW or cn version. There is no update for any US version. So I'm thinking the WW and us version firmware is identical.
I'm also in need of Lte band 20 for when I'm in Europe 3 months of the year. I wonder if Asus could make adding Lte bands easy for all of us like the Samsung phones with a hidden menu so not everybody messes with it and bricks their phone.
So far the conclusion is that Amazon version is US (https://www.amazon.com/Zenfone-ZE55...Warranty/dp/B06XW6SJF8/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t)? I need band 4.

I have the US version. Didn't update to Nougat yet. Can anyone tell me if the battery performance, screen etc. is any better or worse after updating to nougat?
Also are there any easy ways to roll back to original marshmallow if we are not happy with nougat?

I've upgraded and haven't noticed a difference in battery life. There is no easy way to roll back your phone to marshmallow though, Following the post about converting from CN to WW rom would probably be the best way.

Flash IN2020 to IN2025

Do we have a clear, step by step on how to do this? I've tried flashing the IN2025 firmware via local update but it still shows as In2020 with disabled camera.

Well yes, but I'm trying to get it to flash to IN2025. It's just not doing it.
Flashing software does not change the hardware. You're on an IN2020, and OOS will report as such even when you flash intl OOS.
So essentially, there's no way to get it to re-enable the IR camera.

If the phone does not support your radio bands, changing the firmware to the unlocked Global FW won't enable them.
If your carriers radio bands are supported by the IN2020, you may need to add their band combos as per this guide:

He hasn't changed the hardware, he has changed code to trick the phone to get the photochrom filter back, this will not work on band's for 5G
i have a Photochrome option when i use my camera, does that mean that it's still in though.

Yes if the option is there you will have either a phone that isn't IN2020 or 21 or if you do you have one of those phones you aren't running the latest firmwar for that phone.
Where To Get This Model EDL Mode Firmware , One Plus 8 Pro China (IN2020)
My understanding of 5G support by these different phones is in the link here, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mgz7Z6TADnXZgpCdCoLeRHX22wC_vLq8/view?usp=sharing . I am currently in the U.S. and a T-Mobile customer but planning to move to Europe one of these days. Though T-Mobile only supports the n71 band today (not supported by IN2020), it will be rolling out the n41 band (supported by IN2020) soon with the merger of Sprint. On the other hand, n78 (supported by IN2020) is quite common throughout Europe. With that said, the Chinese Model, IN2020, seems to be the best compromise if one travels extensively. It overlaps with the European bands over several different frequencies and one US band that I know of (n41).
Unless of course you are an AT&T customer, then IN2025 is the only way to go because they use n5. In this case, you won't get 5G coverage while you are traveling internationally (except on n41 in China) because the US 5G is just so different than overseas.
None of these models support mmWave, and these phones will become antiques first before mmWave is ubiquitous anyway. If even fingers can attenuate the mmWave signal, we are talking about at least several transmitters on every city block to make it practical! That said as of 2020, I wouldn't spend extra $150-200 USD for a phone that supports mmWave. Google's new Pixel 5 could have been $150 cheaper without it.
Other than the radio compatibility, I can't really think of a good reason to convert an IN2020 to IN2025. If I'm missing something, please enlighten me.
The method described by Whoareyou sounds very interesting. I may try that one of these days.

Flashing software does not change the hardware. You're on an IN2020, and OOS will report as such even when you flash intl OOS.

Here's my story.
I got my OP8pro in China, and once it's in my hand I flashed it from H2 OS to Oxygen OS. Through the past two years my model was showing as IN2020 with no issues until I saw a Beta version of Android 12 Oxygen OS. I flashed it and the model turned to IN2025...I googled the difference and that's how I get here.
