The Vivo Xplay 3S was launched early this month and now Vivo has released the first firmware firmware for it. It's Funtouch OS version 1.16.3. No instructions or changelog are included so I guess we have to figure it out for ourselves.
The 'Download' link offers a high speed download link from Vivoforums' server in Europe, and the 'Source' link links to the official download page from Vivo in China.

A new update came out today 1.17 something. Log is there but in Chinese lol
Hello!
I bought a new Zenfone 2 (1.8 GHz and 4GB ram) from china
( a company called Topmall China) after a few weeks i decided to see if there was any android update to the phone. I found many updates but neither one that was automatically detected by my phone. So I decided to contact the Asus support here in Sweden (the mobile have not been released here so :/) so from the Asus support I understood that there are many different ROM for the phone and could not be sure that I could change the ROM to the EU version because of the EU ROM image. The support also provided me with the EU image.
I personally think that it will work but I don't know exactly how to do and I want different opinions from other people that are better with android.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I have purchased a Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL (SD820 version) from Italy, unfortunately it has branding by TIM (Italian Telecom) and thus a TIM SKU.
Can someone tell me the steps I must follow to change the software (incl SKU) to WW?
Does the Bootloader Unlock tool work on all SKU versions?
I heard someone found a way to install WW software, but unfortunately they didn't reply to questions on issues others ran into and I don't want to risk bricking the phone.
Thanks in advance
You have to unbrand your phone. The bootloader unlock tool works only with WW SKU, but i'm not sure. Try it
Check this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-deluxe/help/help-flash-stock-7-0nougat-via-stock-t3588591
There is also a thread in an italian forum, "androidworld"
After unbrand, you have to replace the recovery with the WW SKU one and then you wil be able to update with downloadable firmwares on the asus website

Hi, i bought a international version of Vivo Nex3 (V1924A) has any way to change that to Global ROM?
Tanks e sorry for my English.
International variant just has Global Rom.
Your Model ID should instead be Chinese. My Chinese unit is the same as your your Model ID.
No need of Global Rom here. You can bloataware all apps and so is perfect.

Mine is Chinese as well and I installed all google apps, so you won't have any problem with that.

Today we have two variants of NEX 3 :
the Chinese (V1924)
the Malaysian (V1923)
The chinese is absolutely perfect by using with his rom but need you install GApps and it's easy to do. For the moment the only thing that it doesn't work here is Google Pay for payment. I have seend that device is not certified for Payment on Safetynet, hope VIVO will fix !!!
The malaysian variant has GApps ootb. It's only shipped with 8GB ram variant, not 12GB ( only chinese one )

Do you still need a Chinese telephone number to register/create a Vivo account? The original Vivo Nex S had this "issue" and this was needed to change the Launcher and install sideloaded apps (like the play store). If the Vivo Nex 3 Chinese variant does not need a telephone number anymore to create a Vivo account, I might go for it then. Please let us know. Thank you =)
Hello,
I have the V1923 version seems to be the Malaysian version, and for the Vivo account, it can be created without chinese phone number, just an email so easy to do now (https://passport.vivo.com/in/#/register) !!!
I confirm you also I needed to do a Vivo account to be able to use Nova !!!
Best regards
what apps don't work on the phone, and does google pay really not work still on the phone, even if you install google apps on the phone?

Thanks for the reply, but if the Malaysian model is running the Global Rom, then yes, an email is enough to create a Vivo account, I found that out when I used the Vivo Nex 2 with GLobal Rom, but it would be awesome if now the Chinese model is the same, can someone with the Chinese model confirm that a Chinese telephone number is or is not needed to create a Chinese Vivo account?
Thank you XDA community =)
Hello I have the V1913 variant the source that I bought it from is telling me this is the 5G variant I have not been able to confirm that model number online but I'm wondering if some of the variant don't have the 5G logo on the back

If you're asking about checking it in the phone, go to settings and it'll say the software version of your phone on the about phone tab. If you're asking about checking it on the box, the model numbers are as following:
M1906G7G - Global (6-64 / 6-128 / 8-128)
M1906G7E - India (6-64 / 6-128 / 8-128)
M1906G7T - China (6-64 / 6-128 / 8-128)
Thanks.
And what about M1906G7I ?

I actually didn't know there was such a model. I asked from a couple of people with the indian variant and they confirmed their model number is m1906g7i. There seems to be two models of the indian variant. Not really sure how they're different.
I was sold a RN8Pro Model: M1906G7I in the E.U.
Does the "I" come from international or India? I need it to be able to use all 4G LTE bands in Europe.
