[Q] Language settings on imported device

hello all!
I just bought a zenfone 2 from eglobal Central for £250. I done some research on the company. They are Chinese and they export devices abroad to customers. What I'm trying to find out is, will the phone come with Android in Chinese and only Chinese? Or will this be the same as any other brand new android device, where you go through initial setup choosing language and location?
I am just not sure if android devices built for use in China will come with a specific Chinese only version of android, if that was the case, could I flash the device?
Any advice on this from anyone who has bought an imported device would be much appreciated.
I have to say £250 for a 64gb 4gb smartphone is a bargain!!
Thank you!!!

The phone is Taiwanese so it'll come with their language. But as soon as you power it up it'll give you the option to choose your language. Only one app stays in Taiwanese and ZenUI gives you the option to remove it. And yes 250 is a great deal. Paid more for the 32gb.

Thank you for response I appreciate it. Can I ask which country you are using your zenfone 2 in??
Cheers!!!!!!!!

USA. Phone needs root and even if it has the 2.33 processor is locked at 1.33, but all an all is pretty fast and ZenUI is pretty good too.

Wow. Why does it need root and why is cpu locked 1.33? That's strange.
Thanks.

Root to proper set CPU scales and dunno on why does it stays on 1.33

So when you rooted your phone did you get the cpu to run at 2.33ghz?
I guess you are right with this phone being so new there is not a lot of info for this device yet.
Thanks!!!!

I haven't rooted. Reason why I don't know what's going on. Buy yeah phone is new and I'm in no hurry.

You have to gain root and most likely boot loader unlock to be able to flash new ROMs. Currently there isn't root available.

Yeah, tried rooting with the Zenfone C method but no luck. We will have to wait a bit more. Just trying a couple of things. Soon things will get better. [emoji1]

Go to the setup wizard and run that, it's in app drawer. It will allow you to choose the language as if you did a factory reset.

Its simple scaling...your cpu idles at 1.3Ghz simply because its not on a demanding cpu task, as soon as you open a 3d game or an emulator your cpu bumps to 2.3Ghz , yes the phone is "caplable of running at 2.3Ghz" no that dosnt mean it will run at 2.3ghz 100% of the time.

Is there any way to Unlock the bootloader without xiaomi's unlocker

Hello,
i just got my max3 the other day and only now i begin to understand into what sort of spicy hell i've gotten myself into by buying a CN model. Unlike the fake "globals", mine was advertised as CN so it came with proper firmware and a locked bootloader. As much as i read around here in the past 3 hours, the best way to get near to proper global is to get EU rom, but for that i need TWRP and for that i need an unlocked bootloader.
The only way i found to unlock it is to use Xiaomi's official procedure, requesting permission and then waiting an undefined amount of time for it to pass through. Is it really the only way? Am i left at the mercy of our Chinese Overlords?
(I'm on 9.6.12.0 Stable if that changes anything. )

Unfortunately, yes, you have to play the waiting game. The CN version was the way to go for some when it was a 240 hour (10 day) wait time. Now that they've changed it to 720 hours (30 days), you're better off with global /eu rom versions because of the helpful guides and development of this forum.

it seems that i can't root with locked BL as well. guess i'm SOL.....
The saddest part is that i can't blame anyone but myself, so i can't even vent

I would blame xiaomi for the unnecessary long wait time, guess max 3 is my 1st and last xiaomi phone...
u can see that it significantly slow down all custom roms development and forum activities

lol, happy to see someone like you will change to different branch soon. Xiaomi sell their phone at a cheap price, with the unlocking bootloader then install new rom for China version, their Global version cannot be sold with the amount as they want. I can understand their policy & method. "unnecessary long wait time"? If so, go directly to any Samsung or Apple store.

How do these unofficial resellers unlock the CN ROM phones and install a fake global ROM? This has been happening for ages.
I would rather wait for a reseller with a proper global ROM and a global version. I did that with my Mi Max 1, it took a bit of waiting compared to getting the Chinese release but it's meant less hassles.

Global version is out now anyhow so no need to wait. Mine came sealed in box with global writing on side and included a UK /Hong Kong 3 pin charger in the box.
Still waiting for 720 hrs though lol as want the EU rom on it. Global 9.6.6 is OK for now though.

Į envy the deal that you got. Ah well, live and learn.... Cn Edition never again.

I bought the Chinese 128gb version from Tradingshenzhen and got it pre-unlocked and pre-flashed with an old build of Xiaomi.eu.
All I had to do was to manually flash the latest Xiaomi.eu build via TWRP and all was good.
Not only did it work fine, it also saved me the long waiting time for the bootloader unlock.

Not sure what u're getting at, I bought it in official store locally with official price. The problem is stocks are somehow "leaked" to non-official dealer in much lower price. And u think this will actually make those non-official dealer wait!? LOL, all xiaomi's hurting are its true users.

I am new to all of this as well as new to the Mi Max 3. I purchased the global version of the phone. All I wanted to do was root the phone so I could get into the settings to change the volume values to increase volume. Pardon me for using the incorrect terminology but I hope you guys understand what I am getting at. I did this with my Samsung Galaxy Note and was able to really increase the speakerphone volume for phone calls.
With all of the above being said. I tried to unlock the boot loader and got the message saying that I needed to wait 360 hours. If I have a global phone do I still have to unlock the boot loader and wait the 15 days?
DO you guys have any suggestions for me to help me get into the volume codes in the phone in order to change them? That is my only goal because I need to amplify the speakerphone volume for phone calls as I only use the speakerphone given how big the phone is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm trying to figure out how you only have 15 days wait. I just tried to unlock mine yesterday and i'm at 30 days wait. I dunno why they make us go through all of this but it's extremely lame.

I have just under 200 hours left.
If you have 720 hours, make sure you have an account that's been open for a while (I have an authorized account? Since I've had it for two years with my Mi5s Plus)
Make sure you disconnect devices that exist on the Mi Cloud account, bind the account to your Mi device ONLY, no other devices.
It will say 720 hours but give it a day and it should shoot down, if not, use a VPN to get into China, re-bind the account and wait a day (don't need the VPN active whilst waiting).
I don't know, it seemed to have shot down with me after it resetting to 720 hours, maybe the system picked up I have a 2 year account and reduced it?

Used miunlock took on Friday and gave me 208 hours (8 days) mi max 3 global version

Official Chinese ROM vs Official Global vs EU ROM

China - bloatware - no need
Global - useless - no need
Eu - everything global has and more regarding updates, root ability, and twrp working without issues.
EU. Plain and simple. Anyone tells you otherwise, they haven't tested enough.

Hi opasha,
Appreciate that. But I need to touch on something I asked you before. I researched the xiaomi mi a2. It works on verizon flawlessly even when verizon implies it may not work on their network. In like manner and the fact that both phones are xiaomi, do you think the mi max 3 can still work on verizon?

I've got to be honest , with the options for Miracast ( built in) and Chromecast ( using apps) i would have thought plugging in a phone these days is a bit superfluouse. I've been using both to cast my phone to a Projector ,TV and Speakers, and have not even thought about USB 3 leads now.

need help choosing please

I currently have the mate 20 pro and it has the green screen issue. So... Sadly I'm sending it back, I was going to swap it for another though amazon advised me not to. They also refunded the accessories I purchased which supprised me. I now don't know whether to try to import a mate 20 X or settle for the 6t. I would be grateful if anyone with the 20x could help me decide and answer a few questions?
I haven't seen any threads about it. But has anyone had any issues with the screen?
I've read some people have had problems with the Chinese version, when looking at adverts how do I make sure the phone I'm buying is the international version? Most don't say they just give the model number.
Is there an 8gb/256 version of the international model? Does enyone have an ebay link for where I could get it sent to the UK?
Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't consider getting this phone?
Thanks for your help.

I don't have the phone (at least yet) but i'm following closely all threads because i'm very interested too and i never see anyone complaining about the gluegate, even a reviewer frankytech thinks its only targeting pro series because of the curved screen.
If you want to buy international version you need to check if the model is named EVR-L29, china model is AL00. There's no international model atm in 256/8GB variant. About sellers to the international, there's splendor, wonda, funkyhuawei, expansys and ebay. Probably more but i forgot.

Is it easy to add the play store? Are there any issues with Google services? e.g. Google pay? As I use that a lot.
I bought an xaomi tablet and that took a lot of effort to get Google app store and services working properly.
Also I was wondering does face unlock work OK on this phone? I know it doesn't have the 3d scanner.

I came from a OnePlus 6. Definitely get the 20 X if you like large screen phones. The X uses a Samsung AMOLED panel and is free of defects. I would buy the Global version if root isn't important to you. If it is then buy the Chinese version. I bought the Global version and have no issues with it. The 6gb/128 Global version is plenty fast. You won't see any difference between the 6gb and 8gb versions as far as speed or apps in memory goes, it's all pretty much a gimmick unless you're buying the 256gb/8gb version just for the storage size.

The storage was the main reason I ended up going for the Chinese version.
I'm worried about Google pay not working on Chinese phones but I'm hoping the rest will end up working OK.
Hopefully someone will work out how to rebrand it so I can have the best of both worlds.

Question How to convert ROG Phone 6 CN to Global?

Hey everyone,
i have a new ROG phone 6 tencent CN version, id like to convert to Globla firmware, can i anyone share steps to do so? i have the global firmware zip downloaded from Asus, but not sure if i need to unlock bootloader, and how to flash that zip.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Use the phone with cn rom for a while until official files are released don't do anything without making sure or you will brick your device we don't know asus plans for now

Thanks for the reply mate. I can see the bootloader Unlock tool and global firmware as well as source code on Asus website for rog 6, what other files do we need to wait for ?
Also, I would use the phone with cn firmware but problem is google / firebase notifications don't work on that firmware , as is the issue with many Chinese phones with google services manually installed.

You'll have to excuse me for being so blunt, but...
You're not asking for help and offering a donation. You're asking if you can pay someone to convert your phone, which is a violation of the rules.
The rest of the original post is also irrelevant, as it was posted in the ROG Phone 5 section. What appeared to be a typo was actually asking about a different phone.

There are two guides already here on how to do it (one for each series), along with hundreds of posts where people hastily attempted to fly through them and wiped their IMEI. Of the three threads you spammed this message on, one even happened to be the guide for yours.

Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.

Hi Mr Twisted Umbrella
I Appreciate your response. I think there is a misunderstanding. I offered a donation for someone to create a guide for ROG phone 6, which can be posted on XDA so hundreds of others can benefit as well. Sorry if it sounded like i wanted to pay someone to do my work.
I have already read through all of the forums that i have spammed (apologies again) and also the link you just sent above. All of them are written for ROG 5 and 5S. All the batch files and etc reference ROG phone 5 and 5S, hence why i wasnt sure whether i am safe to use the exact same guide and files with my ROG Phone 6.
I didnt want to brick a brand new rog phone 6. hence why I asked for help here, apologies if it came off the wrong way.

Anyway, id appreciate any help anyone can give me. i currently have a useless rog 6 sitting with me as push notifications dont work with CN firmware

Part of it could be that you made all of your posts in the ROG Phone 5 section, making it appear to be a typo. Hundreds of others won't benefit from having to look in the wrong place to stumble onto it.

Just wait for someone to post a guide rog 6 isn't available in my country yet
Could you please tell how much ram and storage is tencent rog 6?
And the price?

Tencent ROG 6 comes in several variants:
8GB RAM/128GB* Flash(~700 USD)
12/128*(~700-800 USD)
12/256(~900-1000 USD)
16/512(~1100-1200 USD)
18/512 Pro(~1400+ USD)
All regular models are available in black or white, Pro is only available in white. *=AFAIK, the 128GB models are exclusive to the Chinese market, all other lines should be starting with 12/256 as the base model.
This is based on what I found looking around on AliExpress at the time of posting, prices may vary.

I think i will either have to find a way to get Google services running properly with FCM notifications (currently have google services installed but can not register for push notifications), or sell the device as its currently useless with no proper google services or global firmware.
I purchased from Giztop, check out their website. i always buy new devices from them, it takes ages for retailers here in New Zealand to get these sorts of exotic phones in if they ever do.

Hi, I bought rog 6 from Alibaba. The Tencent 256gb model. I asked the seller to flash global ROM. He did it for me. The phone arrived today, works perfectly. Only thing is, I'm getting that "hardware stub" notification which says "the installed firmware does not match the device, please note you may not receive OTA updates"
Any idea how to remove that annoying message?
I purchased a ROG 5 last year from wondamobile. They too flashed global ROM for me and somehow the Rog 5 didn't have that annoying hardware stub message.
Anyway, my rog 6 works perfectly with ww global ROM, except that annoying notification

The method is out. Update your #1 post to a tutorial?

I sent the phone back. But there's no solution as of yet. You can uninstall hardware stub services to remove the notification but then you won't be able to change your refresh rate. Im sticking with my rog 5 , it's got better speakers & battery life is the same. Also, speakers have been downgraded on the rog 6. I think asus didn't do a good job with rog 6
