I think I've installed the wrong version from APKMirror on my phone and screwed it up. Could someone with a Z1c running .270 check the version number and let me know? Look in settings/apps/all/google play services and give me the number in the parentheses.
Thanks!
dave
Here you go.
You are awesome, thank you!
dave
Hmm, won't let me install. Maybe because you're in Spain and I'm in USA?
Well ,it is nothing to do it if i'm in spain, end the rom ( stock ) no root, is from spain unbranded.
Wound up repairing through PC companion. Gotta be more careful with sideloaded updates from APKMirror.

I was under the impression that the Play Store was different for different regions...? At any rate, I think the update I used wasn't designed to work on our phones, because my Play services kept locking up the phone. Thank you for your effort, though.

Most probably you can't spoof with this firmware, since this firmware is from November.
However I think that if we want to see bada growing and see more apps, then better support developers by buying apps rather than spoofing.
thank you again!.
i will try flash with S8500DXJEA.
thank for your advice
i will consider.

Yeah, that firmware will work. But you will be missing out on all the good features of bada 1.2 (DXJL3).
xxJID, xxJJA, xxJK1 enable spoofed apps to run frm main menu and they are the only 1.2 firmwares to do so.
When i download the JK1 can i use spoofed apps ??
Hello, so recently I got the A3 and noticed it's from Italy (language of first boot, manuals etc), however I'm in Greece... Normally this shouldn't affect Anything (and plus it's nice that Italy got Feb 2018's patches while Greece is still on Jan 2018's) however there is one app that installed its Italian variant that wouldn't work in Greece so I had to download the app from the play store (Samsung members) and some regional settings that defaulted to Italy. Sim works fine and stuff but I'm wondering if this will affect something... Anyway the model is SM-A320FL and it's unlocked... Can I flash Greece's firmware on it? It currently has ITV firmware... Also, which variant of the Greek firmware is suitable for an unlocked phone (The EUR one I imagine)
Also, will this void the warranty
UPDATE: I flashed the greek firmware, however after being disappointed that a lot of features, mainly in the camera app were absent, I decided to reflash italy's firmware and lo' and behold all my regional settings problems were fixed! Turns out that the Sim card fixed everything... I didn't have a Sim at the time of first getting this phone so it was sort of half Italian half Greek... Moral of the story... If you set up a phone from a foreign country, for the love of God do it with your sim card in the phone! For some reason Samsung pay is in italian but that's ok I'm too young to use Samsung pay, much less a credit/debit card anyway...

Yeah you're right... I'll probably return to italy's anyway since I'm a bit disappointed a few features like the camera effects are missing..
Can this be done?... Because some vendors on Aliexpress are giving an option to have the global rom installed before they ship it out. I guess my question is, are they really installing the global rom, or just installing the google play store?
My guess is they would just install Google Play Store app.
Rebranding is nearly impossible and currently there is no established and supported procedure to rebrand the AL00 to L29.
I also saw that on Ali. Asked seller, not answered. Must be just play store (maybe some more Google apps to add, trivial). For 50usd, no sense...
Shame you can't rebrand. Anyone know the main reasons why?
i agree with the comments above, it might just be the google apps so people wont be shocked with all china stuff and no google.
rebranding needs the bootloader to be unlocked as i understood from the forum which cant happen now since huawie locked it
but would you actually buy a phone while then open it ? how would you know that its actually new and they only installed google for you ? o_o
One of our Chineese suppliers has gifted me a New Fold 3. The issue is the stock Chinese Rom, or rather the restrictions that come with it (nerfing most google based services, and apps i use all the time.). The device is great but restrictions applied give you a feeling of a second class android user, with core sevices absent: Play store, youtube, gmail, maps, chrome, android auto., can't even apporve family link download requests from kids. etc. etc.
I have made the choice i would rather go back to my S21 if i can't resovle this issue, as phone is useless like this.
Advice required on Loading Australian Rom via odin.
The phone model is: SM-F9260 which only seems to have overseas Rom available for download. Can i successfully load a ROM made for model SM-F926B (Australian) on a SM-F9260?
All the how to guides specifically say jou must select the same model number, and i don't want a brick it. Will have mud on my face next time i see the supplier if i have bricked their gift to me.
Any feedback/advice from users with more experience with odin and flashing would be appreciated.
Both are on Snapdragon CPU so shouldn't be any problem to flash it with PIT over the Odin.
But I never done it so I can't give you 100% answer.

Update: The AU version gave me an Auth Failed in Odin. Chances i could have resovled by unlocking the Bootloader which i didn't want to risk tripping the e-fuse. I ended up just using the Taiwan version which had the identical model number, and falls in the same region as China. Odin flashed without complaint. The taiwan version has no restrictions on google services, and once you set the language its hard to tell it from a regular AU one; unless you know what you are looking for that is.

Technically there are ways, just it is very grey as to when/how you trip the e-fuse. Some say if you simply unlock the bootloader and restart, others say when you load a bootloader that doesn't match model numbers, or is older than your current, or isn't offical samsung one. I personally don't know exactly. I do however know that i didn't trip the e-fuse when i loaded the taiwan version, and i didn't have to unlock the bootloader in developer options to achevie this.

oh. Good to know. Just wondering..Did you trip your e-fuse? If so when did it happen? Did you try extracting the PIT file from the CSC and using the PIT tab in odin? with the re-parition option selected?

you won't have the chance to trip. there is some check before the boot image is integrated. so it failed showing some error, auth or secure check failed etc etc.
if you flash variant home csc you will trip
TBH, I consider the Chinese version is the best version above all other region. The dual sim is enable on Chinese version, 512GB is the only available option.
As for google service. You don't need to change the Chinese firmware to Australian to enable it, the GMS is pre-installed. All you need to do is to find a way to install the google series apps as apk by yourself, it would work just fine.

BTW, the only version that Chinese region Fold 3 can change is the HongKong firmware, all other regions are not available. If you use Chinese region Fold 3 in Australia, the only thing you need to concern is the Samsung Pay, but Samsung Pay is fixed by the region and cannot be changed by switching the regional firmware.

Each to their own, if you like the chinese version great. I hated it, restrictions in every aspect of the firmware. I personally am unsure how you rate the chinese version better, when it is loaded with restrictions and hard coded settings that can't be changed, or if they can it is really a sub par workaround. Settings that are not present in standard android builds. What exactly does it have extra that makes it better? If you like it thou that is all that matters.
I loaded the taiwan version which yes is really just the hong kong version. No restrictions, no issues. Now it works just like any other standard samsung android build, you get in AU. Yes samsung pay that use the firmware version doesn't work great, but i prefer google pay anyway. No need to stuff around with downloading apk files from third party sites, for core functions. No need to even enable developer tools.
The chinese version sounds like driving a ferrari on a go karting track.....
Can you flash the Chinese or any international dual sim version to work in the US ?
hi
please tell me the difference between Chinese and global versions.
oneplus 11
authorized store told me that
China version is Global ROM.
Factory will open the box to install Global ROM(Oxygen OS ),multi-language and Google Play, and then, reseal it before delivery.
It supports Google Service, Multi-languages and OTA update.
Is it safe to buy the chinese version after these modifications?
No, it's not safe.
Future updates may brick your device, wipe your IMEI numbers or not install at all.
There's region call locking.
Swapping ROM gives the person who does that full access to your device.
It's best to buy a global version or a Chinese version with the original ROM.

It is not official and you don't have 100% warranty that it will work in the future. It's the AE seller own modification.
Either buy original China version with ColorOS or buy officially device meant for different region with Oxygen OS.

OnePlus authorized store on AliExpress has nothing to do with BBK/Oppo/OnePlus. This is not an official answer either. If you want to save $40 and have major issues later on - be my guest. Considering the price of the device it would be quite an irrational decision.
And, no, OnePlus does not welcome swapping ROMs from different regions. They've gone to great lengths to disable it or make it extremely complicated.

So, I should not consider the price and buy the global version. As I don't like to consume time to modify the phone, I really don't have much time for that. I need something straightforward.
