Diffference Chinese version to International version - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hey,
I am living in China at the moment and i want to buy the Oneplus 3.
Is there a difference between the international and the Chinese version? Do they use same LTE bands and can i flash any rom on it?
Thanks!!

https://oneplus.net/uk/3/specs
North America model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/12/17/30
CDMA EVDO: BC0
Europe / Asia model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40
China model
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE : Bands 1/3/7
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/39/40/41
TD-SCDMA : Bands 34/39
CDMA EVDO: BC0

So does it mean that I could buy chinesse for like 379$ and use it without any issue in the US?

From the LTE Bands it looks fine for the countries where i wanna use it. But i can i just install any rom on it?

This is really strange. I've never encountered any issue with twrp. You can maybe get your phone checked from a oneplus's centre if it's a fake but that seems unlikely. What ROMs have you tried flashing, try flashing some other custom rom.

Sorry I don't have any idea about the website/store you mentioned. I'd say wait for some one who has encountered these type of issues and also meanwhile get your phone checked with OnePlus since unlocking bootloader doesnt void your warranty.

No specific Indian version hasn't been released yet.
This is Chinese version, but this ROM also has English included. So you can easily flash and set it up for English.
You can find the link for the recovery ROM in the OP. It can be directly flashed through TWRP or some other custom recovery.
Thanks...

No it fails to flash using twrp. Either I am not updated with current version of twrp is a reason or it may only be flashed with stock recovery.
I would have rather used fastboot ROM in order to update basband ,for better network and less battery drain.
one of the most welcome feature of this miui6 update is that u can use any of the sims either 1or 2 for 3g services without physically changing sim slots.
Official beta global miui6 has also been released, check miui forum for more details.
Thanks bro...

I am not able to install the global version of ROM. It took me whole day to download and at last, it says, "Failed to extract system from dir /system" or something like that! Someone can help me?
I used both TWRP and Phillz recovery!

Thanks, I'm already have a working one. It's this Chinese TWRP with the English language add on. I'm desperately trying to find a rom which is not from Huawei because their original roms are really poor.

{FIX} No Network After Update to MM {LG G3 D855}

Hello All,
After many attempts for several days to fix this problem after update to MM, i found this way and it's works perfect with me.
1.. Downgrade to lollipop 5.0
2. Root your device and install TWRP recovery
3. install CandySIX Rom
4. Try connect to your carrier network (at the first time it not give you anything ) , try several times
5. Reboot your device now , you will find that your phone connect to you 4G carrier
6. Install CloudyG3 2.5
7. Enjoy
And now everything works well and the problem resolved.
I tried this fix but id didn't work for me.
I have an LG D855 which I bought from China as EU model. Unfortunately it is probably not.
After I install Lollipop, I get the well known "Current version not avaliable for user!" message. Then I installed CandySIX ROM (the latest 1.1 version) and I got the same problem as with CyanogenMod. If my SIM is inserted the phone will hang (with screen shut down) a few seconds after boot. Without SIM everything works fine.
Which versions of ROMs (stock 5.0, CandySix) did you use? Any other advises what should I try?

You had a D855 Taiwan version not a Euro version !
Try to use LG Phone From app to check manufacturer/production information, latest KDZ about your phone

Sorry for my late reply. I was at holliday and didn't have time to check it until now. I don't think my phone is a Taiwan version. According to IMEI the region code is A6GBTN. So it should be a Great Britain phone I believe.
I checked what is the latest firmware for my phone, downloaded the KDZ and installed it using LGUP. But I'm getting the same error. I do believe my "misc" partition is messed up. What could I do?

Look , i don't think that you have a problem with IMEI, it's normal thing to see IMEI and IMEI SV.
you need to try all possible ways to fix it including my way.
Look at this thread [RADIO/MODEM] [d855] LG G3
then choose another modem like 21C ... I'm on 20A modem and everythink works well with me.
Good luck Bro.

Is there any working twrp with OOS 4.0.2....I am using stock nougat...I tried to flash twrp it says successful in cmd but it boots to stock recovery every time. Also is there any ROM which gives me VoLTE.? I have A3000 and VoLTE doesn't work in India.
Make sure you've unlocked your bootloader.

For TWRP, the answer is as above.
As regards VoLTE, it works in India if you have the A3003 model at least in stock OOS ROM (3.2.6, 3.2.8, 4.01 and 4.0.2 all of which I can personally vouch for). Your issue might be that the A3000 may be missing the bands required for VoLTE in India.
Official TWRP 3.0.4.0 apparently contains a few bug fixes that is present in 3.0.3-0 and they advice you to use 3.0.4-0 in the official thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/recovery-official-twrp-oneplus-3-3t-t3543391)

Internet will work but may not at 4G speeds. If you don't have the band for VoLTE, you can not do anything about it. Some research is going on here:

See how difficult it is.

What do you mean by 'faster'? The loading time?
If your data partition is on f2fs, then both versions take their own time.
