Vivo Nex 3 - Global ROM?

Hi, i bought a international version of Vivo Nex3 (V1924A) has any way to change that to Global ROM?
Tanks e sorry for my English.

International variant just has Global Rom.
Your Model ID should instead be Chinese. My Chinese unit is the same as your your Model ID.
No need of Global Rom here. You can bloataware all apps and so is perfect.

Can i install google apps without problem? Never had a Vivo smart, only another brands.

Mine is Chinese as well and I installed all google apps, so you won't have any problem with that.

Today we have two variants of NEX 3 :
the Chinese (V1924)
the Malaysian (V1923)
The chinese is absolutely perfect by using with his rom but need you install GApps and it's easy to do. For the moment the only thing that it doesn't work here is Google Pay for payment. I have seend that device is not certified for Payment on Safetynet, hope VIVO will fix !!!
The malaysian variant has GApps ootb. It's only shipped with 8GB ram variant, not 12GB ( only chinese one )

yeah, both variant have all languages.
Personally i would still prefer to buy chinese variant because it will be more followed from Vivo.

Do you still need a Chinese telephone number to register/create a Vivo account? The original Vivo Nex S had this "issue" and this was needed to change the Launcher and install sideloaded apps (like the play store). If the Vivo Nex 3 Chinese variant does not need a telephone number anymore to create a Vivo account, I might go for it then. Please let us know. Thank you =)

Hello,
I have the V1923 version seems to be the Malaysian version, and for the Vivo account, it can be created without chinese phone number, just an email so easy to do now (https://passport.vivo.com/in/#/register) !!!
I confirm you also I needed to do a Vivo account to be able to use Nova !!!
Best regards

what apps don't work on the phone, and does google pay really not work still on the phone, even if you install google apps on the phone?

Thanks for the reply, but if the Malaysian model is running the Global Rom, then yes, an email is enough to create a Vivo account, I found that out when I used the Vivo Nex 2 with GLobal Rom, but it would be awesome if now the Chinese model is the same, can someone with the Chinese model confirm that a Chinese telephone number is or is not needed to create a Chinese Vivo account?
Thank you XDA community =)

Hello I have the V1913 variant the source that I bought it from is telling me this is the 5G variant I have not been able to confirm that model number online but I'm wondering if some of the variant don't have the 5G logo on the back

[ Open Letter to VIVO ] Enable FM Radio - Google Pay - Bootloader Unlock

Dear VIVO engineers ,
as you know many of us got Chinese variant of VIVO NEX 3, because we think generally is the best variant cause a lot of reasons.
Now we have problems to use device in normal life because :
1) Google Pay is not licensed so we can't add cards to pay in stores
2) FM Radio is disabled ( meanwhile you have enabled and supported on Malaysian variant of device )
3) Bootloader is heavy closed. We can't root device and we can't fix by ourself Google Pay problem
Please VIVO,
follow your customer suggestions .

Please unlock the bootloader for vivo z1 pro

Nice you sent it to Vivo. Hopefully they will pay attention. At least the bootloader unlocking.

We should all send it.

It is usless they will never add this feature . It is not made for global use ... it is for China market.

For anyone who has a Fitbit -> FitbitPay works. I use it as a workaround for now.

Did this work with the original Vivo Nex?

Maybe magisk can be installed somehow? Fitbit is for smartwatch so another hardware.

I wrote an email to VIVO according firmware flash from 1924A to 1924F.(global).

I can root in my device in vivo y15

Have they answered yet? Is it possible to flash global rom to a Nex 3 that has Chinese rom?

Saya ingin membuka bootloader please

Vivo answered to my email. We cannot flash global rom to Chinese rom phone.
Dear vivo user,
Thanks so much for your email and we are sorry for the delay. In order to satisfy the needs of our users from different regions, some of our phones have two versions( Chinese version and Global version). The Chinese version is designed for Chinese Mainland users and has made some changes to meet the Chinese market, which differs much from the global version. Currently, the phones with the Chinese version cannot install the Global version. Your understanding will be highly appreciated.

Redmi note 8 pro stuck in fastboot

Hello and thank you for choosing to read my thread and help me
So my brother has the redmi note 8 pro and he did the following:
1- Unlocked bootloader using the official app
2- Changed IMEI using an app called IMEI repair
3- Downloaded an "unofficial Chinese rom" and loaded it to the device.
4- That caused the bootloader to be locked and the software to be broken, now the device only goes to fastboot and doesn't start.
He did all of that when he was traveling abroad because of the different region and he couldn't use the device properly as he says,
On top of that he deleted the "unofficial Chinese rom" and I couldn't find it on his laptop or in his search history....
Please help me get this phone to work again, thank you

Please help me......

NO risk if labelled POCO F3.
Global worldwide standard EURO one included.

There is a case to change version from global to EEA without losing the device warranty? 'Poco F3'
If anyone knows for sure let them write it.
Thanks!

Question I bought Chinese version of IQOO9 and want to switch to Funtouch OS

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
