Would you be kind enough to send me a guide, or try to explain the process yourself?
Did you relock the bootloader?
Use RSD lite (you can easily find that instruction at XDA) and full image from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620757667
It won't be possible to relock CN version with EU firmware, so just skip this step
Then you can install Magisk manager and patch boot.img from firmware image provided above and flash modified boot.img with fastboot

Thank you, the image is 6.0 right? Now you are able to use android pay? Can you still use the 64 gb and 2 sims?
No, it is latest 7.1.1 with September patch
Yes, after proper Magisk V14 installation I can use Android Pay and yes, the phone still has 64Gb and 2 sims

The amount of people who have the same problem as me is huge, this should be made in a separate post and pinned. I, like many others, thought I had no chance of ever using android pay with the Chinese version

This page Is from a senior member here on xda, however search your model and variant firmware, if you flash a firmware for other variant YOU WILL KILL YOUR DEVICE
Good luck me if you need further help send me a PM

Then download the firmware marked as PL2-347C-0-00CN-B04

Once you have downloaded both files uncompress the firmware un any folder and copy the tool on the same folder

Can any custom rom be installed on the 7t HD 1907when unlocking the bootloader?

I am about to buy an unlocked OnePlus 7t hd1907 from Tmobile, but I am interested in custom roms can be installed after unlocking the bootloader.?
If it's made for your device, sure.
The roms that I find do not mention, only hot dog and I understand that it is HD1901 HD1903 HD1905 does not mention HD 1907. Could it be that it will not work?
Convert to global (in guides section using msm tool and all hotdogB ROMs will work fine: oos10/11, los18.1 (gapps or microG), omni10/11, statix10/11, evoX10/11, derp10/11, dotOS11, yaap 10/11, resurrection remix 10, havoc10/11, aosip10, Xtended10, crDroid10/11, PE+10/11, few GSIs, etc
Thank you for solving my question, you are very kind. could you share the guide to make it global please?

Twrp v1 is for oos11 to flash custom roms from internal SDcard as it can decrypt data on oos11. Twrp v2 is for already-flashed custom rom A12. There is no twrp for oos12 or custom rom A13. You can't decrypt data on A13 or oos12 with any custom recovery. You can still "adb sideload rom.zip" though.

Question Rollback Process

Sorry for this noob question
But there any way to Rollback to C.09 Update or Rollback to Android 10
There's a link to an Android 10 rollback package in the Android 11 announcement in the Indian community forums. That seems the easiest approach and according to smiley.raver in another thread you don't need to match Android 10 firmware with your region.
Alternatively you could flash some Android 10 firmware directly. You can find some links to downloads from realme on various sites such as realmefirmware that could you could flash with your favourite MTK flash tool. My choice would be mtkclient because I prefer to use Linux where possible but quite likely the choices for Windoze would be more user friendly.
Good luck! (I am a Noob too.)
Thanks for Reply Bro...
The post from Realme community where Rollback package is given..
Some users said...that's package not working its failed white downgrading

Is that right? I skimmed across the thread and didn't notice remarks like that. Anyway, I can't help you either way as I haven't tried myself.

No idea. Did I mention I was a Noob? You probably will find a guide to MTK flashing in one or more threads on this site.
Again Thanks for Reply
I will try myself
Backup all the partitions of your phone first and let us all know of your success.

it depends on the firmware file format
it also depends on if you have full firmware file vs upgraded file

Hi, I'm trying to download back to Android 10 to perform the region hack to enable the Dual Sim functionality from Australian Optus prepaid Realme C21.
But I'm stuck. I downloaded this file from the realme forums, talking about a rollback package.
RMX3061PU_11_OTA_0370_all_kpNiOQ0SFsQk.ozip
But as i follow the instructions it tells me, the install version is older hence wont continue. This is with the built in recovery method.
Mainly posts mention that the special rollback ozip can be used to downgrade but for some reason the recovery wont allow me.
I'm not clear as to how I can downgrade back to Android 10.
I know there are roms (how do I flash these??? do I need to unlock bootloader), then were are ozips which are realme stock roms.
So what is the best way to downgrade back to 10??
Just want to get back to 10 so I can change the region to the 'optus prepaid xxxx', to get dual sim.

yes please.
Could you share how you downgraded?
I've been looking at flashing it directly with the zip firmwares you can download. But the process seems complex and I haven't found a clear way to do it.
Just want to downgrade to android 10, change region then enable dual sim and then allow it to upgrade back to 11 and 12 I guess.
If you use telegram
Msg me on
@CRit_172
This ID
I cna explain there and can send You necessary files ..
I have a theory.
Use mtk-client to unlock bootloader.
Install twrp with all in one tool. (not sure if need to use auth bypass hacks).
use twrp to flash android 10 ozip.
then try to boot into android 10.
use region change codes to perform change.
possibly restore recovery to stock, then lock bootloader and use OTA or ozip upgrades to upgrade to latest.

Question How to update to 12.5.9 ?

Hello,
My lisa came with 12.5.5 out of the box. OTA offers direct to 13.0.2. Is there anyway I can upgrade to 12.5.9 ? I don't want to upgrade to A12 atm, or anytime soon really.
Indian firware if that matters.
I see xiaomi.eu has a version of 12.5.9 which is no longer updated, but lisa isn't listed on the compatible device list.
Thanks

First of all, some basics (not sure are you aware of):
1) If your phone came with Indian, you can update but only to Indian firmware without unlocking your Bootloader:
Install MIUI Recovery ROM using Stock Recovery and Updater App
Has your Xiaomi phone received a new MIUI update? Then follow this guide to easily install MIUI Recovery ROM using stock recovery and Updater app on Xiaomi devices. Any smartphone user prefers getting…
www.thecustomdroid.com
In that case you will need to download the so-called Recovery or ZIP stock firmware and use the installation as above
2) For anything else, like switching from Indian to Global or EEA (or to Russian or Chinese) - they are all stock ROMs, or switching to Xiaomi.eu - that is not stock ROM, or any other custom (ie, not stock) ROM, you would first have to unlock Bootloader
AFAIK, Xiaomi.eu has no 12.5 for Lisa, only 13.0 - hence not applicable if you insist on 12.5
To switch from Indian to Global or EEA (still stock ROMs), you will need the unlocked Bootloader, the so-called Fastboot or TGZ firmware (and MiFlash tool):
How to Flash Fastboot ROMs on Xiaomi? - xiaomiui
If you are a Xiaomi user and have installed custom ROMs on your device, then you might be wondering how to flash fastboot ROMs on Xiaomi devices. This article
xiaomiui.net
---
I don't know where do you see 12.5.9 for Lisa - I had 12.5.8 EEA) , but there should be not much difference
Anyway, install the following app and you can check which versions are available for Lisa (for stock Global, EEA, Indian, etc) or custom Xiaomi.eu:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
It shows the Latest but click on Older and you will see all the previously released (stable) versions.
Btw, under Indian, I don't find 12.5.9, neither under Global or EEA (under Global there are eg 12.5.11 and 12.5.14)
From the app, you can also choose and download Recovery (zip) or Fastboot (tgz) stock ROM for the wanted version - depending on your flashing method as above
thank you very much. I did request to unlock the bootloader in the mi unlock app, but all the custom A11 roms stopped development or moved onto A12, so I didn't see much point in unlocking bootloader.
as i understand, if i am on the indian firmware, i can flash the indian rom without BL unlock. but if BL is unlocked, do i need to switch firmware as well to install say the Global ROM ?
about 12.5.9, i mistook it as the last version before they moved to 13. sorry about that.

When you unlock Bootloader it does not prevent you to update India ROM by stock Recovery method
It just gives you the additional option to switch eg to Global by flashing Fastboot/tgz ROM
Its like, you can always go by foot, but if you have a car, you have the additional option to go by car
Please take your time, Google, read to acquire further knowledge and know-how.
There are tons of guides here on XDA, on the Net, Google videos, etc
