Why I can't install EU ROM on my RMX1991? (bought in China)

So, I noticed on the official Realme Software Uptade site that they rolled out eu ROM for Realme X2, tried to install it with stock recovery and nothing really happened, It says installation failed on chinese and that's all. I think that's similar to TWRp error 7, when you re trying to install rom from another phone, but these one are the same phones! WTF, Realme? What's the freaking difference between RMX1991 and RMX1993??? How to flash global rom on RMX1991, that's the main question. Please help.

Try to decript the ozip firmware and edit the updater script. Change the 1993 to 1991.

So there's no point in changing the phone number in ROM s files to rmx1991 from rmx1993. Also, I had an idea to remove the script from ROM's files that check if the phone is compatible with the ROM. Will this work?

You should give a try. First thing to do, its to decript the Global Rom and change the updater script. If you succeed it will now be a flashable rom and use it with unofficial TWRP.

RMX1991 and RMX1993 have different radios as far as mobile data goes, right?
For example, my Chinese (RMX1991) is said to have: B1/B3/B4/B5/B8 + B34/B38/B39/B40/B41
While the 1993 Global Version is said to have Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20/28 (i.e. no 4 but also has 7, 20 and 28)
For me this likely means different drivers.

Its most likely they have different software configuration between 1991 and 1993 but i think they share the same hardware inside. The only way to find out if the firmware is compatible between two is to get the flashing thing done..

You're right, that's the only way. I had xiaomi redmi 5 plus, note 5, note 7, all Chinese versions, but I installed global ROM on every single one without a problem. I hope for Realme it will work. Everything I need is a working TWRP.

"same hardware inside" ??? That would be awesome because it would be great to have LTE Band7 in my country but I was too quick to order the Chinese version before the Global version existed.

Hi folks,
it is not possible to flash unmodified ozip from 1993 on 1991 because there's a version check.
It is not possible to flash unmodified system image because there's partition size difference. All system+bloatware files of 1993 are larger than the system partition size of 1991. So you need to debloat and resize system image before flashing it to 1991. But after flashing boot and resized system from 1993 to 1991 some extra modifications needed. For now I do not know what are they. But for sure this will be resolved, sooner or later.

That's a good thing. Although I was ready to search for someone to sell this phone, I think I will wait some more time for a good solution.

Thank you @yakovpol. @KrinN I was also thinking about selling this phone and ordering the Global version as I was also too fast buying the Chinese version before the Global version was available.
My thinking was "Oh, this is the same thing as Xiaomi. You buy the Chinese version and just install the Global ROM. Yeah right... Boy was I wrong...
Hopefully the developers will find a workaround to flash the Global ROM on to the CN version.
Thank you all for your efforts.

guyz i dont really see why you want to change 1991 to 1993?(literally)

Question Flash Global Rom onto European Model

I have the European model LE2123 and I was wanting to know if I can flash the firmware for the Global model LE2125?
I am having issues activating VoLTE/Wifi and the Global Rom seems to work better for following the guides to activate it on unsupported carriers.
Failing that am I able to downgrade my current European firmware and then cross flash the Global rom? I am on 11.2.4.4 and there is not full download available for the Global rom so was hoping to go back to 11.2.2.2 and then use the local upgrade, would that work?

You can not downgrade like that. Use MSMTool

Can you use that tool to change the region? Aren't you also able to flash the full rom from Fastboot as well?

You can wait til next update for GLO and use local upgrade to switch to it then..

Question Chinese version in U.S

Hi guys. I have a question. My mom will go to china, what if I ask her to get one ONEPLUS 11 from China. Is it working good in U.S? anything issues? Should I install U.S version? How?

yes, it will work perfectly but , it must be activated in china firstly ,or u will get an area locked phone.
or～go find an OPPO store if u can , they can unlock it.
the china version os didn't have full function Google services,i think its better to install the oxygen os.
check this out https://yun.daxiaamu.com/OnePlus_Roms/一加11/

On cos you need only to instal the google playstore

I prefer to install the oxygen OS, cause that OS works well in U.S. but is it still have area lock after install the oxygen OS? I think before doesn't have this issue, is it just start this year?

afraid that's not enough because app's like android auto would run only if it was installed as system app.

If you buy a phone from a Chinese seller with a color OS, you may have the surprise of a blocked phone when you activate it outside of China.
But now there are external versions with Oxygen unlocked

as i know it cannot be done online. I also don't know what will happen if u flash an oxygen os into it when it's unactivated.
if I was planning to do what ur going to, I will chose to go to the OPPO store.

You should activate the phone first or you will get a region lock; A lot of things don't work in ColorOS, like android auto etc.; if you convert it to OxygenOS, there are a lot of headaches also.

LG Wing 5g (LM-F100TMW) Dual Sim Variant

Hi! I need some info on how will i be able to find the correct kmz or firmware for this variant. As what the title says, it is a LM-F100TMW with Android version 11.
When i try to check via IMEI on LGROM, it says that i am using a LM-F100EMW variant from TAIWAN or TWN. I already downloaded the recommended firmware from that website but I'm still not sure if it is the right one.
Just needed to make sure, you know? Haha! Thanks!

If it's not the correct firmware,LGUP will give you an error saying you can't swap firmware from region_x to region_z as an example.
