Good morning guys, needed help from someone. I recently bought a Xperia ZQ and it came with the rom operator VIVO. As soon as I picked up the phone rom swapped it for a newer one without the junk VIVO. However, there was an unexpected and very need to return the device and get the money back. I'm afraid that the return is not accepted to be with a rom different from the original. Please could someone post the original VIVO rom ? I searched many places, but have not found. Really need the money, I would be most grateful if someone could do that for me.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks
Download Sony update service in the link below and update your phone, i don't know if it will download the vivo Firmware, but at least you'll be using a firmware downloaded via a sony tool, so i guess they won't be able to complain.

Thx, i'll try!
Good evening.
I'm living in Japan and after years of head aches and troubles with japanese-market-only phones I decided to get a new-no-contract-sim-free phone
I chose the Zenfone 2 due to its price and update availability..
It says it should get an update to Android 6.0 but when I tried to update I noticed its only on Android 5.0
No 5.1 or 5.2...
This phone was release in January if Im not mistaken.. is it possible they didnt update it nor fix any bugs in a year ?!
OR...
Does it the next chapter of me getting screwed cause I'm living in Japan?
I've check about the update and it says on their site FAQ that it is possible to update manually... Push a zip file..
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
The latest version is:
Version WW_2.20.40.139
but I noticed there are WW CN TW and *drums rolling* JP versions...
Now, in some of the other versions I saw mentioning of JP thingy being updated... does it means I can Install a WW version on a JP phone ?
example:
25.Fix JP FlipFont issue
29.Remove BookLive from JP SKU
They write that:
3. Only apply to same SKU update, Example: WW->WW, CN->CN, .
so.. do I have to wait for a JP SKU ?!
My current ver. is:
Android 5.0 JP_2.20.40.97_20150917 (update from 3 months ago? yet still android 5.0!?)
Baseband : 1527_5.0.35.1_0815,1527_7.0.20.0_0723
Kernel version: 3.10.20-x86_64........
Build number: LRX21V.JP-ASUS_Z00A-2.20.40.97_20150917
Again.. is this a regional thingy?
Are all other Zenfone 2 still stuck on Android 5.0?
Btw I've got an unrooted 2GB version...
Thanks in advance to all the helpers
6.0 hasn't come out yet. We are all waiting for it.
Hi the whole "latest" android version thing is a plague caused OEMs and/or the dreadful carriers versions, they always (think they have to) add their flavor on top vanilla (stock) android, be it a launcher (the interface), replacing stock android and/or google apps, sometimes with good and fast results (e.g. Motorola) because they add to stock android rather than changing the whole thing (e.g. freaking Samsung).
You're better off flashing a custom ROM, if you follow instructions CAREFULLY it would take an hour if you're a beginner as it's hard -but not impossible- to brick newer phones.

Question though..
Since its the JP SKU .. will I have problems ?
I had lots of problems on my XPERIAs, since they had JP systems/kernel/everything...
I only have experience tinkering with various japanese xperias... this is my first ZEN so... It should be easier to root and such than sony's... right?
It's easier to root and unlock bootloader than sony! As for changing JP to WW version of the firmware there is a guide how to. No risk of brick since you are familiar with these procedures as i read.
Hi @major9686
Do you recieve the monthly security and bug fix updates?
It seems that the japanese market has both WW and JP SKU phones. Hence the anomaly on the support page.
I don't know, flashing WW might break your cellphone service.
So 2.20.40.97 JP is the version your phone should have.
Yes the stock is still on android 5.0. and in time you will get 6.0 as will we all.
Android 6.0 is confirmed. But will take some time. This is true about most of the phones, except few who gets quick updates. Asus is still better than others.

I dont really like my Asus so far ...
My EeePC gave me problems back in the day, the battery died and I cant replace it no one sells it anymore...
It barely lasted 2 years... now it only runs when plugged and even then lags (even after getting an SSD inside)
My Nexus 7 is also a bit laggy even after factory reset, only bought it 6 months ago
and my recently bought Zenfone 2, already been to repair once but problem still persists. Ear Receiver doesnt work, only if I press the screen around the ASUS logo, some sound gets out.
GPS is messed up, gyroscope as well.
SIM Card 1 is giving me trouble, only after several resets, factory reset and whats not it suddenly became readable without becoming unavailable after every few seconds...
and the most annoying thing, after the repair the USB port became loost, the cable isnt held in place as well as it was before the repair.
But you get what you paid for... so far I had a few Xperias and they all had great build quality. I'm soooo sorry I decided to get an asus this time
whats more, even getting an Asus sim-free I get stuck with the Japanese kernel which doesn't allow me to remove the friggin shutter sound from the camera unless I'll root it
Getting this piece was a big mistake. build quality is sooo bad!
Last Asus I'll ever buy...
In PC components already learned my mistake years ago and changed to Gigabyte...
And dont get me started on being stuck on Android 5.0 ... at least with sony we get 1-2 updates...
I got tired of waiting for an update. Bad battery life and Asus apps using most of the memory so I decided to unlock the boot loader yesterday with their software, rooted and installed Bliss Rom based on CM 6.0.1 witch is awesome
Hi,
I found the latest 2.20.40.164 firmware for Japan SKU on their support website.
NB: This is a full ROM.

This is the wrong section, but you need to do *#06# to get your IMEI, and enter that number to the end of this link: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=

Yes that is lollipop. It depends on what carrier you're on, which appears to be O2, and it doesn't look like it's getting it yet.

HI friends, I have made a mistake buying iqoo9 from Aliexpress without reading the OS description. I read somewhere that vivo is supposed to be offering the option for owners to switch to funtouch is that true will I be able to do that or was that just a rumor?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
same situation for me. I have bought the IQOO 9 pro PD2172A and I would try to flash PD2172F ROM but I don't want to brick my phone.
I hope there is someone expert who can help.
Thank you
Same situation for me!
Bad news guys I contacted Vivo. Switching is not possible as the Chinese version is made for Chinese audience and won't let you flash funtouch. At this point all I can hope for is to be at least able to access USB debugging and remove vivos bloatware.

Hi mate, can you post us the link please? I would try to convince them to give us the possibility to switch to Global rom. At the end we have spent a lot of money for this flagship and if they don't want to lose customers in the future, they should make us happy in someway.
So there's no single way for us now to be able to flash something different onto it? Nobody tried?
the main problem is to find the original ROM so in case of problems you can revert back.
Hi there,
I've got 9 Pro version and I am interested too. is it possible to unlock bootloader? Developer options are very limited - most of functions are grayed.

Unfortunately you can't. They won't even let you use root account to use adb debugging mode to remove their crap bloatware. Unfortunate that an incredible phone like this with amazing specs is locked. I would be happy if they let me at least use adb
Do you think it's possibile at least to flash the Global version over the China version?

No the Chinese phone are branded with different model code even if we assume you manage to get to bootloader which they already have locked and when I asked them they said no. We don't allow bootloader access for phones made for Chinese markets
Traying to find the correct stock software to the Chinese version of Iqoo 9 Pro I found instead software to F model not A. I didn't know the F model does exist at all. Recently Vivo released this model (9 Pro) to India market but I am not convinced it is V2172F. Possibly this software could be downloaded to ours 9 Proses after bootloader unlocked. Am I right?

I don't know about the Indian version I looked for the model number but don't seem to find it. Either way there is no point of that. I already tried to do extract the boot file and attached it to magisk here is the catch you can't run that without bootloader unlocked
If you looking for chiness file, you may find on PAID website, such as ROMDevelopers ETC
Quick update I managed to remove a lot of vivos bloatware, not all but most of them using adb appcontrol just wanted to leave this here in case someone may find use of this info
Hi Moe990
I am doing the same and building a list of what is safe to remove.
A few weeks ago I removed an APP that disabled my NFC (Google Pay) - I had to factory reset my phone
Have you managed to remove :
- Music and Video players
- Phone / SMS / Contact APP
Thanks
Nah not everything is removable. But I'm glad with what I removed so far
I noticed I cannot google back up my phone. its greyed out ... so annyoing

Hey guys,
Let me start by saying I'm a total noob around this whole scene. I've tried to do what research I can to try and understand how to go forward, but I could use some of your expert advice.
I imported a CN version of the OnePlus 11 (PHB110). The device has been flashed to what I believe is an NA ROM of Oxygen os 13? It says my model number is CPH2451 in settings. I am currently on version CPH2451_11_A.06.
The problem is I cannot update the phone to A07 in the settings menu. It basically shows there is an update, and then says an error (image attached). I've tried resetting the update, restarting the phone and nothing appears to help.
I've also tried to go through Oxygen updater and using the incremental build with local update, and this also doesn't work.
I read somewhere that I have to wait for the full NA OTA A.07 to be released? Is this correct, and is there any guarantee I will be able to update?
Basically I want to know if I should try and return the device or not.
Really appreciate your thoughts into this.
Cheers guys.
You have root ?
When yes flash the stock init_boot.img
after that the update should work
And the usa have only very rarely times a full firmware pack

Ok
The problem is curious.
I bought one of the first Chinese ONEPLUS 11s with OS Color. It had the Chinese block of use.
I tried everything to remove it and I didn't succeed.
I sent the phone back and I'm still fighting for the return of the money paid.
Meanwhile, I bought an OP 11 CPH2451 dual SIM. he did the update to 07 without problems.
I bought the phone in the USA on Amazon.
The problem could be from your Chinese seller who repaired/modified a blocked Chinese phone and the intervention is not happy. Let's hope it's not like that.
First of all, check the Update settings.
If they are correct, you should resume uploading.
The second solution is to try the settings for Developer Activate. The third solution is to do a full reset, activate the developer and try again.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry you are still waiting for your money back.
How do I go about developer activate?
Go to Settings , About phone, find "Build nr". Tap on it 7 times. It will show that you are a developer now.
Go back to System and find "Developer Options". Do what you want in there.
Don't change what you don't know !
I have same issue, on op11 chinese version and global oxygen os preinstalled

Isn't the Chinese also available with 512 gig storage??? Not sure if it's cheaper for me ATM but 512 gig isn't officially available in Canada (nor USA) for any amount of cash. I'd love to find an economical import of one were it a viable option... Not like I need it with only 60 gig used out of my 256 gig 1+7T...

Same issue. Found any fix for this? I downloaded the CPH2451_11_A.07 (incremental) from Oxygen OS Updater then used the One Plus updater apk to locally install it but it's does not work. Really need this update because the current system is buggy.
Just to be clear with everyone here with the CN version of phone not living in China. Once the phone leaves China, it stops being a phone. Nothing can be done to fix this that is free of charge. Also includes updates too.

Not true. Contact CS to open a RMA request. Mail your phone to local service center to unlock. Got mine "fixed" this way. I live in Canada.
Also region lock only applies if the phone is first activated in a different region, i.e. Insert a SIM card and connect to mobile network for the first time
Did you have to spend money to ship device since it was also part of the question.

It's free. Even if you have to pay for shipping, what other choices do you have
