How do we buy this device? It's always always out of stock lol, and with the **** Support from OP it makes a hassle just to buy this device (And no i dont want to buy it from chinese online shops)
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.
When ? I don't know
And maybe they willl realeased in Global if people complain a lots
How I can see the build number? To check if I can use the same Rom as the normal 5t?

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

Do you know if I can buy this version also in stores in china or only online? I go next week to Guangzhou and Shenzen and would love to buy it.

I am not sure, but maybe you can still buy it in the offcial site;
If not, maybe in jd.com but it will be a little be more expensive

Another question. If im able to order the red model, do you think warranty is the same although i live in germany where you only get the black models? Do you see any difference on your warranty paper inside your oneplus package?

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.

I got a red DBrand skin for my 5T and it looks sweet!

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

Just wondering if the bootloader is unlockable if you had a OnePlus 5T from O2 UK? Considering buying the 6 through them if they make it available, but I've had 2 Sony phones from them that had "bootloader unlock allowed : no" which meant no way to root them at all, ever.
Also any bloatware installed? Like tether entitlement check or O2 splash screen at boot?
I bought mine from O2 and it's all good. Only Sony devices have that bastardized bootloader BS that has that "rooting status not allowed" set to false when you buy from carriers. Other OEMs should be fine, just stay away from Sony if you're planning on getting the device on a monthly contract and want to modify it
OnePlus devices do not have bloatware nor carrier-specific firmware.

O2 OP5Ts are completely stock totally 100% unlocked to any SIM, absolutely able to root/unlock bootloader and priced the same as from OP. Only thing is that O2 force you to buy a £15 topup if buying off contact.
Thanks for your replies, that's good to know! I'm gonna call them and see if I can thrash out a deal.
Work for O2 Franchise, Oneplus 5T & 6 both unlocked and with extra software on it.

I work for an O2 Franchise and most of the store's don't have the Oneplus 5T in stock anymore. Might find the ocassional one left over that hasn't been sold. The Oneplus 6 will be available to buy on pay as you go as of Tuesday 22nd of May at any O2 Shop.
The price difference is very little so I would honestly recommend to get a Oneplus 6 if your going to be buying one now since the price is almost the same in the UK at o2 between the Oneplus 5T and the Oneplus 6. I can confirm they are unlocked out of the box, have absolutely no software/firmware or apps pre-installed other than the stock oxygen os one's you get installed by oneplus themselves. I got a Oneplus 5T from O2 and have a unlocked bootloader and root too so that shouldn't be a problem either.

yes you might as well buy the oneplus 6 rather than a 5t, the 128GB with 8 GB ram should be the most popular one, cheers.

I have the 5T I got it directly from OnePlus, I'm thinking of upgrading to the 6, but wondering if I should wait for the 6T.
Hello there. I'm having a problem. I have a OnePlus 5T from O2 UK. The bootloader is unlocked, but earlier last week I tried flashing an update with TWRP. Unfortunately, it went a little wrong and I ended up wiping data with TWRP commands. Now, my sdcard (Internal storage) just has files with random letters and numbers, no more of the usual folders with files. I now have a partually bricked device, meaning that bootloader and TWRP would work, but I can't really flash anything because of my sdcard issue! I've also tried ADB sideload with no luck. Can someone please kindly tell me how to fix the sdcard problem, if there even is a way of fixing it? Please describe the process with command line if possible, as I can't use graphical interfaces due to me being blind.
Many thanks for the help, it'll be nice to get some use out of my OnePlus 5T once again.
Tobias
PS, I ended up wiping system, dalvik and cache too so I could do a clean flash.
Bootloaded unlock
I can confirm you can unlock the bootloader on oneplus 5T

There were communications sent out to stores that while current prices are about roughly £30 more than buying from oneplus directly however they will actually be adjusted at some point tomorrow to be the same as buying the phone from Oneplus website directly. However if you buy from O2 on pay as you go, they do require a £10 or £15 top up to be taken with the phone, this can not be avoided or cancelled off the till unless your an pay as you go customer already then the store advisors can do something called a pay as you go UPGRADE which bypasses the top up requirement.
I personally originally got a Oneplus 3 (NOT 3T) from Oneplus.net and this was before O2 and Oneplus even decided to make a exclusive UK partnership and now have the 5T from o2, I will in future including the Oneplus 6 always end up getting them from O2 Directly because that mean's if I have any hardware issues I can send the phone away to an O2 UK Repair centre and get it fixed free within 5 working days. With Oneplus you have to send your phone to them and their nearest repair centre seem's to be in Poland I believe and will most likely take alot longer than 5 working days to resolve but more importantly while I love and am a fan of Oneplus Phones ,as a brand I think they don't have the highest best reputation when it comes to handling customer service, repairs and order queries. I have heard some crazy horror stories out there with that I would just avoid if I had the option. If the option wasn't available then it is what it is. But since the option of avoiding going through Oneplus Customer Service is present I'll take it.
For specific detailed pricing information check the official website;

If all else fails than this is a life saver (phone saver), but please read everything on the instructions how to use that tool, its only a less than 10 minutes procedure and the phone comes back to life, hope this helps, cheers.
Um, thanks, but what is this phone saving tool called? Can I have a link to it and maybe how to use it? It would be very nice to get my phone back in properly working order. It's currently stuck on just a sec... Also, is there a way of making my SD card show proper files, IE, wiping data again or mounting the sd card as read/write?
Thanks for the help

sorry but oneplus 5t doesn't take an external sd card? have you actually got a oneplus 5t or some other phone?, please don't flash anything if you don't have a oneplus 5t, cheers
Yo.
Sorry about that. About the SD card thing, I mean internal storage, it's just that ADB and my root browsers call it sd card.
hope that tells you more

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.
Repair ROG Phone 5S through edl firmware, no need to unlock Bootloader to modify COUNTRY CN to WW
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
