Hi,
I have bought a Chinese version of the Oneplus 7t, and it comes with Hydrogen. I had looked at different guide that suggested that it was possible to load the Oxygen onto the phone in Root, and install Oxygen, but it gives me the following error: "The version of your selected packet is lower than that of the current system. To avoid booting up failure, downgrading is not allowed"
I have disabled updating the phone when I got it, so it's running: Hydrogen 10.0.1.HD65
I downloaded the latest version of Oxygen from Oneplus: OnePlus7T Oxygen OS 10.0.3 HD65AA
These were the steps I tried to follow, but got stuck at step 3. Hope anyone there can help me
1) One needs to download the official firmware from OP website
2) Put the downloaded file to the phone's storage
3) In the settings choose System Update->Parameters->Local Update->Select the transferred file ->Install
4) Reboot the phone
5) Success?
You need to install the 10.0.4 one, 10.0.3 doesn't work. Take the same steps as you would above.

Hi. I'm also looking to do the exact same thing on a CN OP7T. Can you confirm it works without any issues? No needing to use adb, unlock bootloader etc? Its the first phone i hear of in which changing OS is too straightforward.
Booting into recovery after flashing works? Also, can you please check for me if it says Play Store Certified under Play Store Settings? I'm thinking maybe it won't carry over from CN ROM?

I just followed the steps, no need to use adb, or unlock bootloader. I just installed the file, and then restarted the phone like it asked me. Then i just did a factory reset, and my play store is certified. Just make sure to not update your phone with Hydrogen when you first start it up.
Getting mine in a few days. Will go with all the above steps and post here end result but I don't see there will be any issues.

I suppose both Hydrogen and Oxygen are on the same version 10.0.4? So downgrading wouldn't work, but what about switching from the same version to the other?
Just did this myself...took me 15 minutes when I had the file downloaded.
Super easy and super happy that I spent 425$ for this device

I don't think thats possible. You might need for next release to upgrade and switch.
I think you can enable it if you root the device. But don't take my word for it. Maybe someone else will answer this one.

That's great hearing it. I'll do it too as soon as i receive my device.
If you don't mind me asking, what HydrogenOS version did your device come preinstalled with and where did you buy it from at that price? 128/8 version?
Thanks!
I think it was 10.0.1 Hydrogen
But yeah, just used the file posted on this page and worked as a charm.
I bought it in China from there official OnePlus website.. and 256/8 ????
got mine last Saturday fresh from OP factory and downloaded USA rom but got lower version error so i downloaded again from UK OP support webpage and that did it for me.
PS i looked around just now and noticed that the ROMs on OP support webpages vary from country to country. HKG still has 10.0.3 like the US while Thailand has 10.0.4 like the UK.
OP 2 -> OP 3T -> OP 7T (all H2OS -> O2S converted) :-}

You mean you were in person in China? Or just ordered online from oneplus CN store and shipped to your country? Because i may be wrong, but i don't think they allow you to purchase and ship to another country, considering they do have their store in my country as well. But i'm not sure. I only want the 256GB version and it's only available in China and India from what i see. So it's basically Aliexpress or other sites such as Gearbest, Wondamobile, etc..
But maybe i can order straight from them? What about warranty? Does it cover only China?
Edit: There is a discussion on another thread about a possible Green Tint Display Issue when Brightness is less than 10-15%, appearing on upper right part of the display, most visible on dark screens. Can you confirm if CN version has the same issue? Do you notice anything at all?
Thanks!

In my experience on owning few android products over the years(samsung only), this is the first ever device in which changing country dependant ROM is as straightforward as ever. I haven't found any other manufacturer that comes close to OP experience. Literally all other manufacturers i know of require you to unlock bootloader, use ADB, fastboot, input comands and so forth.
I have yet to look into custom ROMs for OP, but i'm sure it's still more straightforward than competition.

thanks for your comment. yes, that is the no.1 reason i switched to OP from other brands (i have used IOS, Meizu, HTC, Sony and also MS WinPhone in the past). the simplicity and ease of conversion was why i bought the OP2 at the local OP store when they had one before. my Chinese is just so-so and feel more comfortable with English/Google apps.
as for the GREEN TINT, i just adjusted my brightness down to the lowest level where i can still read things (i don't see any numerical %) but i don't experience any issue. i have my phone in Nuanced Dark Theme but also tried with the brighter Illuminating Light theme.

i like the simple Nokia's Z Launcher so i just keep on using it even though it's not updated any more.
PS. i guess i haven't reached the required 10 posts yet so my images don't show so i am just sharing the link for now.

Yes, lucky for me I am currently in China and thats why the price is what it is and I got the 256 version.
If you are in Australia I can bring you one as I am going back there in 2-3 weeks.
So yes, the warranty is only for China. Which means if something gets broken you will need to send it to the country you bought it in for it to get fixed. As I have some family here in China by some random luck, I can ship this phone back to them and they can take care of it for me. I hope that will not happen though
But that is the same case for my Pixel 2 that I bought in the USA. I just had some issues with it and they are asking me to send it to the USA in order for it to get fixed. So now I have to send it to my cousin and then he will send it to Google... like there is no Google store in Australia
Happy to report that there is no green tint on my device
Also, it is very funny that 7T has a different price (significantly more expensive) in Hong Kong and the only "benifit" from buying it there is that it will run Oxygen straight from the box.

Quite surprised myself too that prices in HK are that high. Generally its the other way round. But i might do the same as you since i am based in China and will install the HK ROM if i decide to move away from IOS.

Hello,
I will getting the Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus tomorrow.
What are some of the first things I should be doing? I feel like I will not like the MIUI too much as I have used stock android on my old Nexus and more recently Cyanogen on my OPO. I plan to install Cyanogenmod on the phone as soon as they release it.
I believe I should do the following to prepare for that so that I do not need to start from scratch in the future (unsure of order and how to do it, some advice and guides here would be helpful, as well as an explanation of the purpose of each step):
- install custom recovery (I'm 99% certain I need to do this to install another ROM)
- root the phone (I don't think this is necessary, but allows me to do other things e.g. use Greenify)
- unlock bootloader (not sure what the purpose of this is)
Are there any other steps I should take?
Thanks in advance!

Without unlocking the bootloader, you can't install any custom recovery or custom ROM, just the official Xiaomi releases.
The eu version have less chinese apps and some minor changes compared to the global version. You can check the differences in their website.
Once you have unlocked the bootloader and install twrp, becoming root is pretty easy.

If you are talking about xiaomi.eu, yes it's different.
It's based on official China ROM and as you can see the release of official Global ROM is lagging behind china rom for both mi5s versions. For example stable for Plus is 8.0.4.0 for Global (I guess just one release) while it's 8.2.2.0 for China.
It's cleaned from Chinese apps, it contains many European languages (including Italian) and gapps.

I'm on 8.0.4.0 of Global Rom and I must admit that this is the first phone which makes me so satisfied. I'm gonna stay close to later products from Xiaomi as long as they keep doing this way. :laugh:
I don-t understand the different ROM-s.
I now have 8.0.4 Global Stable.
It seems tha a 8.2.2 Global Stable should come out since 20 February (but did not come out)
Then there is a 7.3.9 Global Beta released March 10

But why Beta is a LOWER number (7.3.9 to 8.0.2)???????????

4GB is a lot of Ram in my opinion.
Think if you need 64 or 128 of storage in your phonbe, and make your decision based on that.
As far as I know, for my usage (and I am a heavy user) 4GB of RAM is enough nowadays

Thanks for trying to help. I have now resolved the problem!. The reason phone was not sending was because of 3G signal only at my home. When I tried in a 4G area not far from my location a picture message flew through. Many thanks re whats app .I use same and there is no difficulty sending pictures on it as I Have good broadband 240 megabytes boosted to almost double that with an Asus rt -87 u router and an Asus AC -66 extender.

There we go, its eating battery like crazy How do I fix it my friend?
Big amount of users from 4pda report that they don't have troubles with battery.
My phone is running Stable 8.2.3.0 MAGCNDL for a couple of weeks and it's more stable than previous version, at least when I take screenshot, the preview doesn't super-fast-blink.
Hence that my mom phone (Mi 5) has been running that version for about 2 months before my phone was updated. Yes, it's a stable version, not nightly or any kind of experiment...
If your device is rooted, freeze the app com.qualcomm.qti.biometrics.fingerprint.service
If not, try disabling any kind of unlock with fingerprint and delete all saved fingerprint.
After using it since Friday, its a pretty nice update. I liked the new quick toggles animation and the overall smoothness is improved.
i have it on my mi 5s and is good.
I prefer custom ROM like LineageOS because, even if it is official, it is less complete and usable
Hi guys, mi5s on 8.0.3.0 here. Should I flash this or should I wait until the ota comes?
You should wait. There are chances that the version we will get might be 8.2.3.0 (or similar) which includes a few more fixes to found issues.
have you read something about when it will be released?
I have an N910V and my carrier is not Verizon. The sim is rejected. It seems I am unable to create a custom APN entry.
Currently rooted with Android 5.1.1, unlocked padlock at startup. Baseband N910VVRU2BOF1. TWRP installed. Have been able to wipe system/data/cache partitions and restore from backup successfully.
Has anyone managed to change the running software to the international version, N910F successfully ? I have not done this before.

Currently rooted with Android 5.1.1, unlocked padlock at startup. Baseband N910VVRU2BOF1. TWRP installed. Have been able to wipe system/data/cache partitions and restore from backup successfully.
Has anyone managed to change the running software to the international version, N910F successfully ? I have not done this before.

lol the note 4 is not sim locked I'm using cricket wireless on my vzw varient. you just have to manually enter your service providers apn info....side note also true for note 3 (smn 900v) as far as international roms go ....I have had 0 luck since the upgrade to marshmallow. on lollipop all I used were international roms. I'm pretty sure the boot image patch needed for hsbadr roms killed it for me. his rom has 0 bloat anyway .

OK this should apply to marshmallow definetly nougat. in settings go to more (at top 3rd option) cellular networks cellular operators. look in upper right corner for 3dot menu it has add apn manually. Google apngeisha find your carrier and then just fill in the appropriate info. if you are unrooted you will get an error message stating its not a Verizon sim but it won't affect functionality

wow that is an old firmware bro ...jeez that phone must have sat for a while b4 it found its new home. fyi u can borrow a friends sim to upgrade to marshmallow (I did) just enter apn info and get her done. ****if you are not the person who rooted it you will want to become familiar with the process its challenging the first run through the phone can crash midway in I personally refer to the simplified guide to unlock by Dr.cool on xda. the files in his post you might want to replace with newer but the man knew how to break this process down. best of luck man.

I am somewhat familiar with rooting it..
What i don't seem to understand is how to move the phones software from N910V ROM to a N910F ROM - a few people have said on this site that this is possible, but I haven't found out how they did this. If this is possible, what needs to be changed and in what order.

Could you explain this a little to me - forgive me not understanding about this concept..
So the ROM doesn't change, but you run a patch against the current software ? Where is the patch run from, TWRP ?

best pet is its universal for all 910f/g roms on lollipop. not gonna lie I do miss the options. I mean the system as a whole works better now but you used to have like 30 different roms to experiment with (I reccomend simplrom with either simpl or emotion kernel .....I've never scene anywhere near that mny governors or modules in a kernel before. that being said I'm sure less than half could really improve android but like I said having so many choices is truly something else. why I put this phone only a step or two behind the note 3 which litteraly HD more development than 5 years worth of nexus's . this is s close as I've seen since.

Current flashing to 'N910VVRU2CPF3_N910VVZW2CPF3_N910VVRU2CPF3_HOME.tar.md5' (6.0.1 stock i think) - will the data fix still be applicable ?
And how is the data fix applied - TWRP 'install' ?

Here we go, WW update, latest rom for us! Thanks to chicken on the Vietnam telegram group. I'll post more later when I get home regarding magisk etc.
For now though, place in root of the storage and restart. But hang fire of you're rooted and want to remain so, I'll post instructions later, unless of course you know what you're doing. I just want to check magisk via ota method works before I post in detail here...
Changelog
WW 1910.35
Added grid display for game selection in the Games Library of Armoury Crate
Added game cover customization in*the Games Library of Armoury Crate
Added AirTriggers slide gesture in Game Genie (Beta)
Fixed the issue where navigation bar couldn't be hidden when playing "Black Desert"
Fixed the issue where Game Genie panel was pulled out easily when Key Mapping was used
Update with root : I was running magisk 20.1 prior to updating. After placing ota in root of internal storage and rebooting, system update should be detected. Click to install. Once completed don't restart the device, just choose 'later', then go to magisk manager and choose install. Then choose install ota. After that, reboot and you should have a fully updated and working latest rom with latest magisk still intact
Root and stock boot img's should you need...

Umm, good question! I just posted the changelog, not sure what it allows to do. Will have a Google etc later if I get a chance...
Perhaps, for instance, when going around corners in a car racing game the slide option allows gradual increase in steering? But that's a complete guess at this point!
Thanks. Btw anyone using Paypal or Bank apps? Not working after rooting right?

Basically, yeah, it allows gradual sliding to control, for instance, walking /sprinting in pubg or gradual drifting in asphalt... But I have used it yet, I'm only telling you what I was told! Hopefully that's correct though...

Hope someone can confirm because this sounds really cool. I have the CN version so we don't get the same updates.

Yes, 1st Oct
Haven't gotten this OTA update, didn't get .25 either. I'm not sure why because my device is untouched. Anybody else seeing this issue? I'm on a WW device, Indian variant, 8/128.

1. Have you had any updates without forcing them?
2. These updates are early releases from CN or Taiwan or Vietnam (somewhere along those lines) and the updates for eu and India market will no doubt get released at some point in the future from the main asus website.
3. Although you may have bought a device with WW rom installed, doesn't mean the fingerprint has been changed. You can check with device info hw from playstore. You'll find, under system, your product id and rom plus fingerprint, they all need to match.
4. That said, even then I'm not sure (if they do all match) you'll get the updates without manually installing them. I can't say for sure as I always download the early bird releases from Vietnam telegram group. I've never waited to see if updates to indeed happen automatically here in UK...
Hope some of this helps...

1. Yes, I've gotten the .21 update which is the only one that has come out since I bought the phone.
2. I thought so too, just need to confirm.
3. It's an official Indian variant from Asus, so fingerprint mismatch is unlikely. I think it's just that .25 was never officially released, and I'll probably get .35 soon. Hopefully!
Thanks for your help.

.21 was an official release. .25 still hasnt been updated on the Asus Bios firmware page, so I assume it wasnt official. .35 still hasn't been updated on the Asus Bios firmware page, so its still not available. If you have a genuine WW phone (like my North American WW bought from B&H) then just download, put in the root directory, and reboot the phone to install.
I've just done mine, and works great! :good::good:

I'll wait for a couple of days and then try doing that. OTA for Indian units is usually delayed so I'm hoping I'll get it by the end of this week.

They posted it on their site and stated it's for TW only. WTF is TW? Global room is WW, origin Chinese is CN. And you must keep the same SKU.
Anyone?

Considering Asus shoddy history of bugged updates, this one is surprisingly solid, no issues yet.

Got an official reply from Zentalk forum.
WW users can flash the TW version. But I am not sure if you can go back to WW...I think it should be possible.
Still waiting for RAW. Hopefully it'll be soon
Ok, i have updated my phone today. Root still exist, entire update last about 1 minute. Everything works fine. We will see in a couple of days how bad this update is
I upgraded to A11, too.
Seems to run well so far. Better than A10 so far.
Broken 120hz. Was iffy not sure was the update or always been like that, messed with sleeping phone then suddenly ok....
still no update for RAW >.>
With a ww fingerprint, can I use manual update to update my Tencent phone to this version from a10 or do I need to use raw?
Updated link for CN.
Been almost half a year but RAW never came out :*(
True, I've been waiting for RAW too. I'm still on an early version of A9, pretty bad. maybe i should raw flash to A10.
