Hi,
Has anybody bought a chinese version with flashed OS? If so is there any issues with using it in the UK/ Europe? Is there a chance there could be spyware preinstalled on it or should it be safe? Will there be issues with OTS updates down the line? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have the IN2020 version with global/international firmware. I'm not in Europe though. If it comes with Oxygen installed already then you don't have to convert from Hydrogen OS to Oxygen OS. The phone may or may not support all network bands in your area. So 5g may or may not work. I don't think this can be changed either. Updates will still arrive according to what version of the OS you are running, but there's always the Oxygen Updater App. One thing you should be aware of is where you are getting the phone from. If you are getting the IN2020 version, being the China version , and you have an issue with the phone OnePlus will not warranty it as it was intended for China not anywhere else. If you are buying from a reputable seller they may help you out if something goes wrong, but not all sellers do. And as for spyware I am pretty sure you are going to be safe.

Hey,
I'm thinking about buying the chinese version of the OPT because it's invite-free. My question, apart from fewer LTE bands and no dual-sim support outside of china, is it exactly the same hardware? Meaning, will it for example support the same ROMs that will run on the EU or NA version? Because, since I heard some people having trouble updating their chinese version OPT, I would not want to stick with Oxygen, but install a Custom ROM instead.
Its completely the same (apart LTE / Dual Sim).
A friend bought the chinese version and I flashed successfully oxygen OS. Also the custom kernels and CM 12.1 is no problem.
I'm using one now no problem just that it didn't come with a UK charger but no biggy
I'm also using the Chinese version here in Pakistan without any issue used the LTE without any hassle.

Hello, I would like to know which country's ZTE support may provide me with info about Axon 7 Global version. Living in Europe, there is no live chat with support in my country, as well as phone version on market is different than I have. Contacting ZTE in USA leads to missunderstandings, because of their support thinking I have a ,,chinese" version of the phone. However, Chine version is different than global, so should I contact China? In phone info, the official forum of the phone's users is set to chinese domain.
What do You think about it? Thanks for any response.
What version You have? A2017G? If yes then ZTE germany
Hi all
I have a Oneplus 6T that I bought in Myanmar (Burma). I have since moved back to the UK and now the caller ID name doesn't show up, just the number. I've tried deleting and adding back the Google account, I've also factory wiped it. I don't have Trucaller.
I'm now thinking of installing the UK firmware. The phone still has a lot of Chinese crap anyway. Would the UK firmware work on a 6T bought in Myanmar?
Thanks in advance
Shaun
What UK firmware are you referring to? I am only aware of International firmware and T-Mobile US firmware.
If you are seeing a bunch of Chineese apps then I would certainly update to the international firmware. Should be pretty straight forward.
Could be hydrogen os
Thanks both of you.
It is Hydrogen firmware and as to UK firmware, that is probably the international version. My main experience of flashing firmware is on Samsungs, where they have different variants of hardware and hence firmware. I'm guessing this isn't the case with Oneplus, at least in terms of the hardware.
Since the EU version of the OnePlus seems to work with Dual SIM.
Can we flash the US version with the EU OxygenOS and be able to get Dual SIM working in the US?

Actually, this is what I did. Using US Version (Model: IN2025) and then was flashing with the EU Oxygen OS Version 10.5.4. After the flash, the update to Oxygen OS 10.5.6.IN11BA automatically was retrieved and installed.
Two things are surprising to me:
- I was expecting that after 10.5.6 upgrade, dual SIM should work, when limiting the network to 2G/3G/4G. However it still shows that the dual-sim function is not working.
- I thought that flashing the US device with EU, would also change the model from IN2025.
What am I missing here?
Thanks & Best.
dont think it works like that
you risk bricking it by cross flashing firmware

I was using this post -- and no issues. :angel:
OnePlus chat support told me that only configuration and software is different between the regional devices, hardware is all the same.
However it also didn't solve what I wanted to achieve - dual-SIM and (at best) also European bands - like n78 ... :crying:
Guys,
I have read the whole forum and my understanding is:
My phone is Model HD1925, purchased in B&H.
- there was no option to flash international / stock non t-mobile firmware in 2021 at least. Is it possible to do now?
- if flash international/non t-mobile firmware/rom is not possible, is it a way or need top get rid off from T-Mobile soft ?
- is it another custom ROM which can be installed?
There are several sites, I have found which provide an instructions to flash international firmware, but this is really opposite to xda forum and makes me suspicious.
The phone will be given to a kid, so I prefer to clean it up from unneeded SW and also keep it up to date due to security reasons.
I'm not living in USA and not care about 5G.
The phone is SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked using OnePlus .bin file.
Current version is 11, April 1, 2022 Update.
Really appreciate your help.
Hey, there. I'm sorry to tell you that you can't do that, because the hardware of 1+7tpro International Edition is very different from that of McLaren special edition. Before your release, I have tried to use the 9008 after-sales firmware of Chinese Version (hd1910) to brush into this phone, but unfortunately, this phone can't work, and even entered Qualcomm's crash mode. My suggestion is to use ADB to freeze all programs related to T-Mobile, so, You can enjoy 5g and later OTA updates.
