I chose them to ship now rather than wait for them to flash the global rom for me. Hope it is not too hard to flash as I plan on rooting, unlocking boot etc. Any negatives?
It will likely arrived unlocked, if not, the unlock process has been sped up, it now takes less than 15 minutes. I just hope it gains traction with the modders quickly, the more units go international, the better for us.
Can't think of any negatives.
Wow - that was quick! I can't see it in stock anywhere, but I think I will wait for the all ceramic edition.
It was quick! Already have my DHL tracking number.
Some of the reviews so far made it seem like it already had a global rom.
You are right! That's why I just asked them to ship it. Maybe the store is so used to doing it that they thought this phone needed it as well
Looks like the ceramic unibody is not going to be available for some time so just ordered the 256GB instead. It doesn't look like there is a global ROM yet. I will want to flash the EU ROM but can't find TWRP anywhere yet.

Mine just shipped as well. Hope it does in fact have the global ROM on it. My Mix had the random restart problem. I have high hopes for the Mix 2. If they don't pan out I'm going to get the pixel 2 and sell the Mix 2.
Anybody have to upload there proof of payment and identification to be verified on Aliexpress?

I also ordered from Aliexpress (to the UK) and they asked me the same thing.
Anyway, I've asked them to clarify a few things but I think I'll just ask them to ship. By the time it arrives, I'm sure a global rom will be available that I can flash myself
One question for those who have had Xiaomi phones before. Is it possible to set the Chinese rom to English, so I can use the phone before the global rom is released? Presumably this won't have Google play but that's fine
Thanks

Thanks, this explains why the UI was in English in all the youtube videos I saw
In this case I will ask them to ship early and I will set the language to English. I will side load apps until the global rom is available with Google play
You can also use an installation package to install Google play services onto Chinese ROM. My vendor has confirmed mine will arrive with Chinese ROM and Google Play installed.
It looks like the phones leave the factory with stock MIUI 9. The reseller is using google translate in their communications with me so I could be wrong, it seemed like they gave me the choice to have it shipped out with stock MIUI9 or to wait for the global version.
You are in XDA so I am assuming you told them to ship it asap right?

LOL, as if you even had to ask. Though I didn't luck out on DHL shipping, this reseller charged a hefty premium so I picked snail mail
Got my dhl tracking number too, apparently it will arrive in a few days?!
Great! Where did you purchase it from? I have my DHL tracking number but it's not working on the site yet.
So only the review units had the global ROM on them?!? Compared to what the first few hands on articles and youtube videos said that does not sound right.

Hey guys, i know the lava red edition is only available in china soon.
Do you think there is any chance we can get this edition in europe?
I thought, maybe ordering it through vpn??
Also im interested when this edition will be released.
Any help would be appreciated
I'm sure you'd be able to see the red OnePlus with a vpn but I don't think you'll be able to ship it out to where you actually are. I could be wrong though
Living in China, I ordered mine this sunday.
Do you think it's exactly the same build than the normal 5t?
I mean, can I install the O2 OS of the normal 5t version in it?

Since it's a limited edition, I think yes.

How you can see your build number: go to settings - scroll down to about phone - the build number should be written there. But i think it doesnt matter. You can in install every custom rom also on the red model because you have the same hardware
Oneplus 5t lava red received !
The package is exactly the same as the normale 5t. Even the quick guide is the global one with many different languages.
I just downloaded the global Rom and it works
This phone is very gorgeous btw

If not, maybe in jd.com but it will be a little be more expensive

Will you use a VPN for your shipment address too? I don't think that will work. Still in Europe you will have 2 years warranty if it has CE (i doubt china versions has it)
Two years ago, I did buy a Mate 8 in China. But Huawei Switzerland told me, they can not offer waranty for this device, because I did buy it in China and not in Switzerland. Therefore it would be interessting to know how Oneplus is handling waranty with devices which are bought outside of your home country.

When i order oneplus devices from amazon or somewhere else, do i have 2 years warranty although i didnt order it from the official oneplus site?
i just got my 5T lava red yesterday, i bought it from reseller in my country. now it's already rooted and customized. every custom rom is working fine, i think the only difference is just the color and factory rom u got. i personally think this color is totally gorgeous. maybe the best smartphone color i've ever seen!!! well, i just hope the next oneplus lava red would have grey/titanium accent button
I got my lava red op5t today and I'm in the u.s using it on TMobile and everything is working smooth, I don't even wanna use my note 8 no more lol

I know there is international version can be bought in Hong Kong, with all assets against Chinese.
However, it is much easier for me to ro get Chinese... Maybe it will be also cheaper, but it is second story.
My question is if will be possible to install global fw in China phone?
Thanks
Short answer. Nope. At least not now.
O must see prices of both. Generally, China phones localisation is not so poor, with some work, one ca adopt is enough. I have now honor note 10, same work...
I hope it would be possible to unlock BL and root and de_chinise it.

So I live in China. I was just at the Huawei store an hour ago. And I had the same question; Can I eventually put the International rom on the Chinese version?
All I can say is that right now, the easiest way to do that is to buy the phone in Hong Kong for example.
But the problem is that they sell the 128Gb/6G RAM for almost 200 USD more than the price you get the Mate pro 8GB RAM/256 GB version in China..
I think I'll go with the Chinese version, waiting to switch the rom at some point.
PS: If installing the google suite is not possible by allowing apks of unknown source
I afraid this will never work...
but thankes. key is price difference. i will also go on al00
Not to mention the global version only comes in the blue color. I didn't like that.

Oh yeah?
So just to be clear,
- DL the .apk(s) for the google suite and allowing "unknown sources" from the mate 20 will make possible to have the google apps?
It seems too easy to be true, but maybe you're right, I have no idea.
I just want to make sure that I won't buy it to realize that this won't work.
Returning anything here in China is a real pain, even on the same day

Don't need to download the apk.
Go into app gallery
Change country to China
Search for Google playstore.
Click update and open playstore
The usual setup will start
Done.
You dont need to install google suite apk. Just install play apk from apk mirror. It worked with note 10. And working with mate20x from china. Google services are already baked on rom by default.

Is this typical of China version Huawei phones?
I've always thought that ROMs were interchangeable, as long as the hardware was the same.

Technically yes. However Huawei made it harder for cross region rom flashing by locking the bootloader and rom region detection.

Hi. On my Chinese version Mate 9 I could only use Chinese words for voice command to answer phone. Is it possible to to do this in English on Chinese version of Mate 20 X?

Hi guys,
I will get very soon my first china handy - the Mate 20 X - 8 GB / 256 GB - china version.
Now I read that Saturn / Mediamarkt will bring the Mate 20 X to Germany. Therefore I expect that an international / European version is on the way.
Is it possible to flash the china version with this international one?
No idea til now.

I know only the china version can be unlocked and just now I saw this news
https://9to5google.com/2018/11/15/google-android-pie-project-treble-expectations/
Highlighted text from Google
"Going forward, all devices launching with Android 9 Pie or later will be Treble-compliant and take full advantage of the Treble architecture to deliver faster upgrades. Thanks to Treble, we expect to see more devices from OEMs running Android 9 Pie at the end of 2018 as compared to the number of devices that were running Android Oreo at the end of 2017."
What this means is that, whether Huawei likes it or not, Pie is already treble ready and there's a good chance that we are able to flash aosp on the device.

I think it is as safe as can be. Just follow the instructions properly and you should be good. I just did that. I removed the browser and a few other apps such as Hivoice and Hiboard etc. I didn't remove everything chinese as many of them do no harm.
Hi,

hi
it's first time i ordered on this site,
i checked reviews, it's not a scam, tax are included, you have to pay by IBAN transfert because by card you have at least 7 days of processing,
i sent the bank transfert yesterday, today they confirmed to me that payment is ok and they began processing the shippping by airplane.
for the tax law (tva) it's about you'r luck, for 500€ they can charge you about 100€, but it's not always the case.
normally we can change the rom to the global one when it'll be out, but in aliexpress i found one with global rom but its 200€ more expensive.
Ooh you've got balls Man
Make a transfer account is so risky .. IMO
I saw the phone on Giztop and personnaly i prefer this site. You can pay by Paypal. Yeah i've seen the same thing as you see on Aliexpress but do you know if you can find this global rom on the web ??
someone else ordered from there and it went ok (french)

I had a few vouchers on Aliexpress decided to buy one in blue. I got it for £350. Should arrive this week

will it boe possible to install edge 30 pro/ultra rom on it ? ( EU variant of edge x30)

There is rumor they will launch the phone this month in India
Hopefully i can flash that rom in this phone.
Hello guys, if I install the GSM to the China version, can I use the phone like the global phone?
