Hi, I bought m5s on aliexpres... when I checked firmware version I seen: 6.2.0.3G, so I searched on flyme official site but this version doesn't exist... others users open a thread on flyme forum without success, no one help!
Someone has information about this version? I cannot install any firmware, always says: firmware is too old!
thanks

[ 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.

Getting up to speed - Lenovo Z6Pro / zippo

Welcome to the Lenovo Z6 Pro community!
To make it short, this phone has great hardware, but not so good software and support from Lenovo, hence the low price. If you recently received it, here is in a nutshell what you should know about ROMs :
- There are 2 type of official Stock roms which are subject to official OTA. They can always be flashed to upgrade or reset phone by using Qfil even with locked bootloader ; making the Z6 Pro virtually unbrickable :
o Chinese Rom: the most up to date (11.1.105 is Android P; 11.5.x is Android Q). High performance and stable, kept up to date; but only English available for system; need to use apps for more languages and bypass notification restrictions.
o Global or RoW (rest of the world) 11.0.405: Considered a cheap initiative outsourced to a third party to sell phones internationally. It has not been updated for a while and possibly won’t be anymore. It is Android P based, but stable and includes many languages.
- Then there are now very good custom roms thanks to Lucchetto! First really good and stable of them is RevengeOS. Obviously, they require unlocking BL and installing TWRP. Many guides available to help doing that. More custom roms are available: Havoc, AICP, CRdroid, LineageOS, Pixel experience plus… available here + and on telegram group.
All have all hardware features working including all 5 lenses thank to stock Cam app ported to Custom roms also by Lucchetto!
For more info, read threads here, join Telegram group or ask question here.
Enjoy, be grateful and stay safe!

bought the above unit quite some time back in 2018. using row 11.0.405
recently request to Lenovo to unlock bootloader, till today no unlock code arrived

Any one in here (XDA) Please produce an unlock bootloader to this Lenovo Z6 Pro
thanking you'all in advance

i was able to rebrand device from ANE-AL00 to ANE-LX1 (locked bootloader) when i was running emui 8 and i did this because i couldnt find a firmware of of june 2018 patch for ANE-AL00 and after that i used the slock method to unlock my device
if u get installation failed in dload or force download, try downgrading to emui 8(if u are on 9) and then downgrade to a firmware with june patch of 2018 for ur device and then unlock it using slock(currently down check @huaweihax telegram channel) and then rebrand to whatever u want

Okay, but this is not ANE-AL00, read carefully " P20 Lite(Model NO. HWV32)" . If I'm not mistaken, it's Anne-L12JPZ (C791) build number . Unfortunately, there's no Service ROM for this build number with Google patch june 2018 or lover. Comprende? Have a nice day!

A/ since android 7 you can flash from dload folder only Service ROM. Using update.zip from fullOTA-MF the process will stuck at 5% and error message. Did you know?
B/ downgrade to lover build number is possible using Service ROM only. Did you know?
C/ Service ROM can be found here
https://androidhost.ru/search.html
or here
easy-firmware.com (paid service)
Did you know?
P.S.: Don't write about things you know nothing about. It's fun, but dangerous ...

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
