Hi,
Since I live in China, the Oneplus 5t is delivered with H2 OS in it, which mean without any google apps and with a launcher far as good as O2 OS.
Is it possible to install O2 OS in a Chinese phone? And how do we do that?
Simply download the rom in the global website and go to the stock recovery to install it?
Thanks a lot
How did you get your op 5t from China so quick? They just announced it today in mainland China and sale begins on Dec. 1
Bump please! I am in the same boat
op official group will release tool to flash H2os to O2os.Just like 3 and 3T. So don't be worry:victory:
I dont know why you wanna try OOS, the launcher of H2OS is almost the same as OOS now,
and as far as I know, it is possible to install gapps on H2OS.
Can you dump your ROM and upload somewhere, I kinda wanna try H2OS

Because according to my online seller it does.
Question roughly translates to: Which ROM? If I encounter any issues can you help to claim the warranty (to China)?
He answered "Global ROM. Yes I can help"
But the question now is: does a global official stable ROM even exist for this phone? Isn't it China-only?
I bought the MI 5s Plus 64 GB in China a few days ago. I can confirm you there is no Global ROM yet. However, the stock Chinese ROM has English as language. You can also install Google Play Store and uninstall any bloatware default apps.
There is an Unofficial EU ROM if you wish to try.

I got the Mi5s (not plus) last week and it shipped with miui 8 global rom including pretty much any language not just english and chinese!
Please note that the MIUI rom could be manipulated by the guy who installed it. Currently there is no official global rom from Xiaomi for the 5s. All the currently sold ones with Global ROM are unpacked by the seller and reinstalled with some MIUI rom, which could be manipulated. Also OTA updates won't work with those mobiles
I'm also waiting for an official global rom, it's just not sure yet if there will be one.
I bought this phone with chinese rom and I was going to flash global rom as soon as it is released. but I'm not planning to change the rom anymore. I have debloated it myself and I'm happy with it at the moment.
I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed. I honestly didn't realize I wouldn't be getting official MIUI.
Is there any particular way for me to see if there is any harmful backdoor software installed? So far this "global ROM (8.6.10.0)" seems solid enough, all functions seem to work except that when I go into the updater and try to choose an install package it tells me to install file explorer first....
I'm downloading the stable, official Chinese ROM right now... Not sure if I'll install it or not though...

I got such a vendor "global" rom, tried to flash with official chinese zip, did not work -> verification problem.
unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and xiaomi eu rom based on official chinesese developer rom..
Will wait for global rom as chinese rom is too much bloated..
If they launch it in india(hope so), global rom will exist, otherwise xiaomi eu forever...

So, you had success in unlocking BL and flashing twrp? Did you follow a guide? Do you have a link?

All good for me except fingerprint (may be due to plastic cover.. will try later after receiving my tempered glass)
I have an mi account which i used for unlocking..
You can create an account then use this link
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Once they approve they will send a mail with link to download the unlocking software
You should install that, then run it and login in that..
You can unlock it there
install required tools- fastboot ... drivers.. (for me standard android sdk was sufficient...)
After installing those..
You should shutdown device completely then hold volume down and power button at same time to enter fastboot mode
Then connect mobile using cable to your pc
below command should list your device once connected...
fastboot devices
Download the twrp from link given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-t3480133
make sure that its for proper device (mine is mi5s not plus)
if it a zip extract the img file.. then type command
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then to boot in to recovery
fastboot boot twrp.img
my twrp defaults to chinese so to change language refer video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOhR92EKD7A
download xiaomi eu for your device
from here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-10-20.35693/
Then follow standard twrp flashing guidelines..
You can find it everywhere ( >>> Factory Reset >> Wipe select partitions >> install from internal memory if you already copied it there OR sideload using adb from pc)
PS: (I had formatted system partition as well without issues)
my back button was not working properly but after reboot it was ok..
Thank you very much [email protected] for the explanation.
I will try the procedure today evening when i'm home from work.
Update:
worked fine for me. Thank you very much!
Thanks for all the replies, but went ahead and bought the Note 4 instead. Camera is my only complaint against it, otherwise it's a really great first experience with Xiaomi!

I just bought 5s 128 GB in Malaysia which is directly import (not from official dealer) with Stable Global ROM 8.0.10.0.0 (MAGCNDH) Build MXB48T as per attached. There is no bloatware and quite stable.
Can anyone confirm it is a real global ROM from Xiaomi or a modified ROM?

The additional 0 at the end of the MIUI version and the CN in the MAGCNDH shows that it is a chinese ROM which was manipulated.
So you won't be able to update it, and I at least could not unlock the bootloader because the xiaomi tool did not recognize it as a xiaomi phone....
So I built me a deep flash cable and flashed chinese official ROM, unlocked it and flashed TWRP and xiaomi.eu ROM....

Any Guide for that? Or a video guide?
Check this here, source: http://en.miui.com/thread-390697-1-1.html
Here is what I did to get an official ROM instead of the malware infected 8.6.10.0:
At first I have to mention that using the EDL Method is very dangerous because you will probably brick your phone if it goes wrong.
If you are not sure about something better ask here before doing anything wrong. The phone should have a full battery and save all your files because the phone will be wiped during the proccess.
Step 1. Download the latest official MIUI Fastboot ROM for Mi 5s:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.0.10.0....AGCNDH_20160805.0000.29_6.0_cn_49ab3a5120.tgz
(!!! Important - When flashing the ROM with the Xiaomi FlashTool in the step 3. you have browse into the /images Folder. - Browsing into the wrong folder and flashing wrong files will probably brick your phone !!!)
Step 2. Turn your phone into EDL Mode:
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-put-mi-5-into-edl-mode/
(Use Option #1 - Option #2 and #3 does not work)
Step 3. Use this Tutorial to flash the Fastboot ROM to your device. Use Method #3 , as Method #1 and #2 does not work anyway with the fake ROM 8.6.10.0.
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-miui-8-fastboot-and-recovery-rom/
( Skip Step 4,5,6 because your phone is already in the EDL Mode)
This helped me out go get the official Chinese ROM 8.0.10.0. Out of this ROM you can use the MIUI Updater function in the phone to install any other official ROM for the Mi 5s.

There will never be a global ROM for this phone.
It's a China only device.
I still have a little hope that they might start to sell it in India, which typically means there will be a global rom. But so far nothing is announced, so at the moment there is no hope for an official and signed global rom.

Xiaomi announced that they will not sell it in India.
When Hugo Barra says it wont be sold in India, then it wont be sold in India.
Read this, there the source is linked.

My Mi 5s has the same ROM and it works flawlessly. Benchmark results are far ahead compering to those from reviews on YouTube. I was able to unlock bootloader in first try, no problem. If you use Windows 10 make sure to load proper drivers. I don't believe that any reseller is able to compile such perfectly working ROM. It must be Xiaomi that stay behind this, but this is what I believe. As you sad all languages are there and even some you don't find in official global ROM. I will keep this one until official global I released. Be patient.
I bought note 5 ai china version the phone came with global ROM mui 9.5.5.0 oeimifa i noticed ihave an update available in ota
Mui 10.0.4.0 oeimifh
Is it safe to upgrade?
Yes. Why would you think otherwise? If its the anti-rollback thing, no need to worry (unless you go to roms prior to 9.5.19).
I was thinking that because my phone in Chinese version with global ROM maybe the update is only for real global version and will not work with mine
So the update will work fine ? Then I will download it ty
I bought this phone for custom ROMs my seller installe
d a fake rom ?it was just easier to flash TWRP and bootleggers 3.5 beta than using miflash to restore the official miui and on the plus side the bootloader was already unlocked
Hi
I want to buy a chinese Mate 20 X but i read on alyexpress this :
"Because the Google company prohibit the user installing GMS by themselves,for chinese firmware, after upgrading to EMUI9.0 (Android 9.0), the Google Play services will stop working,we suggest you don`t update the new firmware to EMUI 9.0 (Andoird 9.0)..or choose Global Firmware,Global firmware no problem."
Does it mean i can t have Gapp with android 9 on chinese version ?
Can i change firmware to global version ? if i can i need to unlock bootloader i presume ?
Thx

Rubbish
Google is working on China and global version.
China version stick with China region on setup in appgallery, then search for Google play, it'll show up, then update it. For some annoying reason it's installed but hidden it china mate 20 X version
Maybe OK Google won't work properly on China version. That's about it really
so why they write this thing ??? if we can udpate to android 9 and playstore works fine ?
Im using chinese mate 20 X phone. Every Huawei phones has gms by default. There is no need to install anything. Just login in your Google account from settings thats it

Buddy, mate 20x default comes with Android 9.0 (Pie); EMUI 9 buy Chinese ROM if you have the patience to do a lot of modifications etc..
else, please buy the international variant and use it as out of the box.

Mate 20X isn't Honor 8x!! I have the China version 20x (EVR-AL00) and as stated earlier it comes with EMUI 9.0.0 pre-installed and had to install playstore via Huawei's app store then install thw Google apps I wanted. And everything worked. That was before I unlocked the bootloader (jumped on getting a code early and before code db got closed) and have been running globalized custom rom ever since. Now Ressurrection Remix rom just released this morning for 20x and will give this amazing phone the AOSP support it deserves.

Someone said that the GMS has been installed in expensive phone of Huawai, such like mate20,p20.... . But not for the cheap phone - honor 8x. So Mate 20x can install google play directly.
My honor 8x /emui 8.2 can install google play after I installed the GMS . But I can't find the GMS installer for emui 9.0.

You can switch from chinese to global rom(or indian rom if you want inbuilt call recording option) after unlocking bootloader and debloat it all after rooting..Or maybe just flash custom roms .

Hello Robert
I have ordered CN version Oct, and i have been using it ever since. Out of the box you will get 18w charger with adapter which is very good, i live in Bosina, both sims are working fine 4G works too. There is not much to be worried about in CN version it works great it gets latest builds of MIUI (compared to other versions). Only thing that was kinda a nitpick and kinda annoying for me from start is that you get few standard Chinese apps that you can delete, and some of main Mi apps keep giving notifications in CN like mi videos and very other few, but rarely and they can be blocked. When you power on a device for a first time and creating Mi account you will have to install gapps which you can do over integrated mi store as i can remember (just type google no need for Chinese fonts). After doing that and logging into your google account i recommend you to unlock bootloader, you will have to make a request for unlocking it takes 160+ hours for it to get approved. Install xiaomi.eu rom which is cleaned and optimized CN miui for global users with xiaomi devices and regular updates and builds. I am currently using xiaomi.eu rom its fast, it has also ability to update it with updater in system. Anyway it is up to your preference what you want from device, you can try to install global firmware without unlocked bootloader you can try, if you want or some other custom rom with unlocked bootloader.
Best regards
