Hi all,
I've managed to do a bad restore with TWRP on my RN5AI (M1803E7SG ) and need a new qcn or a backup of the modem and baseband files. If you have either of these, please share it with me
Thanks
i think it's illegal to change imei here in xda but op was able to fix it.
Hello!
Will you be so kind and tell me, is it possible in that way convert redmi note 5 ai to redmi note 5 global but of course without any illegal activities?
I'm just asking is it possible?!
By illegal activities i mean that i don't wish to change IMEI or anything like that, i would just like to convert phone for chinese market in to phone for global market.
Thank You all and again i'm sorry if i'm offending somebody with this question or ask something stupid.
Afaik if someone share their EFS, and you use it to restore it to your phone; you will copy all the imei information from them. So no one is going to share it with you. You are on your own then. Unless there is a method to edit the IMEI, baseband etc to the same value as written on your box.
You also don't want to use other user IMEI as well, just like other don't want to. If there are 2 devices share the same IMEI, it is possible that they can be banned from the network. Or maybe in a very small possibility of the universe, you will deal with the unknown things. If the other doppleganger device do something bad using their cellphone, you can face the trouble too, as you phone has the same IMEI.
Yes!
I know all this!
Of course!
My intention is that I would like to convert this phone from version which is sold in China (aka AI) to Global version which is sold on EU market! That's it and that's all I would like to achieve!
IMEI change is possible, an I will naturally use original IMEI values from the phone and box.
Anyhow, thank you!

I have found "blank" qcm files (without entered IMEI) for restoring!
This is Indonesian MIUI site!
Here is the link for bunch of qcn files!
Use this and save Your self!
Please give is info did you have success!
You can change the IMEI in the qcn file, anyhow this issue has been resolved with the help of another user here. He provided an edited qcn file with my IMEI numbers

That's a true life saver!!! At my previous phone, when we screw up the IMEI, we are on our own. Editing the IMEI only give temporary effect, will be resetted every factory reset. This should give a permanent value.
Do you edit the bluetooth address and wifi mac address as well? Or those address are intact? (0C:98:38:xx:xx:xx something?)
Thanks for trying. IMEI editing topic is a very rare case, and I usually also don't want to deal with (can cause problem later). Should bookmark this in case someday some other users need this.

Both china (AI version) and global has the same hardware. Only India version has different camera setup. All three version can flash the same Global Stable (latest is MIUI 9.5.17.0). I have seen so many buy china/global version and has migrated from one to another without problem. China ROM difference is it doesn't have playstore installed, while Global has it. So to migrate to Global version, simply flash global ROM MIUI 9.5.17.0, no IMEI changes needed. Just remember not to flash the latest MIUI 10 (8.7.9/10), as it has anti rollback protection. As usual, YMMV, DWYOR.

First, let mi thank you for your time, effort and explanations!
Second, here I will go from the end and say that I already know big deal of this you have said to me and that my only reason to do this "operation" of transferring Chinese to Global version is possibility of bootloader lock. As I understand, if one unlock bootloader, like me, to be able to install Global version of ROM, then you stay without lock possibility, and with this without Google Play Store certification.
If I'm wrong here, please tell!
I myself also, don't have time and wish to go in this avanture!
And yes, I don't want to deal with rooting to be able to achieve certification! I wish stock ROM, without anny third party stuff!
Thank you!!!

If what you want to achieve is the device certification, than I don't know exactly the detail. I bought the official version from my country, which is the same as global version, certified. UBL + TWRP + Magisk, still certified (magisk has patched it for me). But some China version (dubbed as RN5 AI), don't have playstore from the beginning. So most likely the phone is uncertified if you choose to use the stock ROM from China. (I don't know the exact detail, let me confirm with other user, takes some time). No other way then, modification is a must. Should flash Global Version, and probably need to TWRP and Magisk to get the certification.

Yeah, seems to me that exactly this is the case i have!
I have bought two phones, one for me and one for my wife, they are both Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI and this is China version of the phone, without Google Play Store!
Only difference between them is that my phone is 6/64 Gb and my wife phone is 4/64 Gb!
My phone is Model Number is MEE7S and Global version should be M1803E7SG!
According to hardware list, they are the same, difference is "only" in QCN file and /EFS, /Modem!
I have successfully unlocked bootloader on both phones and i have successfully install on both phones this last Global MIUI verion 9.5.17, without any issue what so ever!
Only, Play Store is Uncertified and when i have tried to again lock bootloader and the install this same global ROM, off course, this is not allowed and to be possible to achieve this, phone must report himself as phone for "Global" market, namely EU.
So, if You can help, please help! :crying:
Again, thank You in advance on everything!

Thank You, but this dosen't solve anything.
This is not intention or direction in which i would like to go (custom ROM).
Few years earlier maybe, but now, i have give up from all of this "games". "Give" me stock ROM and some way to remove bloatware and that's all i need. I don't have ether time or interest for this (life, wife, kids, nature....)
Big help will be "just" a few informations .
1. Is it enough "just" qcn file from M1803E7SG with changed IMEI values from my phone, so that my phone MEE7S would be recognized as M1803E7SG?
2. Is RAM value in ROM universal or it must be exactly specified? I have a phone with 6 Gb RAM and 64 Gb of storage.
3. Must one change /EFS and /Modem partitions accordingly with qcn file (if i'm not mistaken, these partition will be reflashed with new ROM flashing isn't it)?
Thank You all in advance if You can help me with some useful advice!

1. I can't answer that. I know that the M1803E7SG differs from the MEI7S in terms of QCN file, and therefore probably hardware - if you flash a MEI7S QCN on a M1803E7SG, the cell modem won't connect. I would like to try to see if the M1803E7SH qcn can be flashed to the M1803ESG to enable band 28, but I don't know anyone with the H version.
2. Universal - the OS picks up the ram in the kernel.
3. The EFS/Modem folders are overwritten with the QCN file - they are not affected by rom flashing, but can be modifed/written to by TWRP.
Re the .eu version of the rom, it's effectively a universal rom without as much bloatware. It is based on the xiaomi sources and would give you exactly what you're asking for. If you want a stock rom, then this is the closest. If you want to remove the bloatware yourself and use a stock rom, that's fine also. Do what works for you.

Huh!
Here is obviously some type of miscommunication!
My phone Model Number is MEE7S!
I would like to "convert" him to Model Number M1803E7SG which is counterpart of the same phone, "just" Global version!
These are hardware identical phones except enabled bands!!!
And yes, Thank You so much for this information about RAM values, this is excellent!
Also, thank You on such a quick reply i really appreciate this!!! :highfive:

You're welcome.
As for the conversion, they are not necessarily the same hardware, the Chinese version MEE7s has fewer bands. Be careful.

Yes, i think that this is main difference between these two phones.
All other is exactly the same, same cameras, same sensors, same display, everything is the same!
And yes, as i have understand, there is no 6 Gb RAM device for global market, only Chinese!
Again, thank You on kind words and understanding, these days it's hard to meet somebody who is not immediately "on the edge" and who is ready to talk and elaborate not to judge!

You have actually got the answer you need. But just to report back from the small survey I have made in the other forum. 5 of the users who bought the China version, all got uncertified. But one user change to AEX and use some ro.build.fingerprint from the Global version, got the certified status (and cts profile true). The other have flash to 9.5.17.0, rooted using magisk, playstore still uncertified, but magisk show cts profile true, basic integrity true. Don't know why still uncertified, maybe the playstore cache the status from before the patch by magisk. So to achieve the certified, no other way without modification. Editing build.prop, or using magisk module is a must.

Now, there is definitely some strange issues here.
I think that maybe solution is to edit qcn file and make this phone Global version. Then, bootloader can be locked and Global ROM can be installed. As i understand, later google policy is that bootloader must be locked and in that way Store will be certified, i hope.
Now, as i understand, this can be done in two ways. One will be to make qcn backup from phone and then edit this backup so that phone model number could be changed, and then this qcn backup, with all other values intact, flash back to phone. Other is to find from someone qcn backup, who has this Global phone, and then in this backup change IMEI and all oher values to correspond all values from my phone.
Now, what's you opinion about all of this?
And again, thank You!!!
I was the one who sent OP with the global qcn file with his/her original imei's. QCN means QUALCOMM CALIBRATION NETWORK file. It only contains your imei and the signal bands your phone should connect to. There is no way you can change model number on the qcn file alone. Sometimes flashing different qcn from a different device will make the phone's baseband unknown.
I think the model number for xiaomi is embedded on the motherboard.
Hi, want to buy one Mi Max 3 to use in usa tmobile !
Can somebody confirm there its a 100% true international version of the phone that has a original Xiaomi international firmware that dont have connectivity problem with bad modem.?? And that gonna receive ota updates and updating it wont brick the device ??
I'm asking because its so confusing that some people say there its not true global version (only chinese with shop rom, and fake global sticker in box)
I only want to buy if works out of the box without problem !
Dont want to have to mess with a brand new phone to try to make it work !
Please let me know, thank you

I tried changing the vendor partition which broke even more stuff.
Maybe @nijel8 havent checked under ground (parking lots), in door buildings, and more which make the signal so weak.
also there is no LTE/LTE+ on the 9.6.6.0.OEDMIFD
We need someone with the un-released 9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD to confirm this

Don't be so sure as we don't know 9.6.6.0 is broken. You've already said 9.6.4.0 is fake and that wasn't true.
You installation of 9.6.6.0 doesn't proof anything.
We know for sure many times problems are fixed by fastboot rom nad we don't have global fastboot rom released yet to test.
Yes, I haven't tested mine enough to know for sure it runs fine under different conditions so I will not say it has no problems, we've had enough rumors spread around... So let's just leave it to people who have more to say...
I'm on 9.6.6.0 for a week now as a daily driver, no problem at all. So, afaik, 9.6.6.0 is not broken.

Global SKU of the phone is not available yet.
I'd suggest waiting if you want modems to work properly - possibly also extra bands and NFC.

I'm not sure if you are aware what are you actually using. The phone does not have NFC. https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_max_3-8963.php That is one of its weak point.

I'm aware the version currently doesn't, and of course it can't be enabled without the hardware.
However, I was told by a retailer (who are selling 'global' units) that the true global version was not available yet, would be a distinct hardware version, and that it may carry both extra bands and NFC.
"I'm not sure if you aware" that other global versions of Chinese phones have added both an NFC reader and additional bands? It is not unlikely in this case.
I had asked them about the likelihood of a Max 3 Pro coming soon (and with NFC) as Malyasian / Indian e-tailers had re-added pre-orders for the Pro, with October expected date. They said they didn't know, but gave the above information about the global Max 3.

Well I did read about the device quite a bit but I haven't seen anywhere the global version would have NFC. I doubt Xiaomi would change the hardware in the global version. M3Pro on the other hand as you say may come with that but its up in the air yet...
It's rare that Chinese brands release any information ahead of availability of global SKUs, even if the hardware differs (which it not infrequently does).
We'll see.
The Max 3 is apparently among those devices that'll be officially available in European markets .. that makes it a lot more likely that bands and NFC will be added, as there have been in other phones.
I didn't think that there was any difference between the original Chinese variant and the International/Global variant which they began selling in Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines last week, but I was wrong. My Chinese Mi Max 3 arrived from tradingshenzhen with an unlocked bootloader and xiaomi.eu flashed as I had requested, and with xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 it works great. But a friend recently came home with a Max 3 purchased in the Philippines which is running v9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD (Global). When he goes to the Mi verification web site and enters his IMEI it says "you have a valid International Version". When I go to the site and enter my IMEI it says "you do not have a valid International Version and may encounter difficulties - please purchase from official distribution channels in the future".

Ok, I am getting irritated by you already...
Don't give your opinion on something you don't completely understand. As I said your installation procedure is so lame I don't even know how to say it without offending you. Believe me that is not my intention...
First you don't have global version and the OP question is specifically for that one.
Second you don't have fastboot global rom to begin with. There are so much more to the rom than what is it in the recovery zip. Otherwise Xiaomi won't be releasing both.
Third how do you know if Xiaomi didn't place some restrictions preventing Chinese devices running Global rom properly hence your problems...
So until you flash fastboot Global rom or better yet for this OP get global version try to not spread false information.
Peace...

Do most people here also want to use it with t mobile? I'm in the same situation as OP. Curious about this on att and t mobile and don't want to mess with it much right out of the box
Hello, I am soon to be new to the one plus scene, and had a few questions.
I got the factory unlocked 7t and plan on using it on tmobile. Am I going to have rcs messaging? Will it be limited in any way? Also I have read that you can flash to international from tmobile but can you go the other way? And final question going either way does it require root or anything or because they are stock images they work fine?
From what I can tell from where I purchased it says HD1907 which is the tmobile variant(or should be?) Listing and reviews say confirm getting the HD1907, and its factory unlocked without branding. Can it be branded? And I should be fine and able to go to international/de-brand if I decide to later?
Welcome to the OnePlus 7T, it's a great phone!
I suggest reading through this guide to flash from T-Mobile to Global: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/guide-t-mobile-brand-conversion-to-t4019495
It will walk you through the entire process of flashing your phone and (if needed) rooting it as well.
Personally, I'm a big fan of the All-in-One Tool found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t4103515
It does just about everything you could need in terms of flashing, rooting, returning to stock, etc.
No matter which guide you choose, both forums are very active and should be able to help you if you run into any issues.
In regards to the RCS messaging, you should be fine but don't hold me to that. I typically use Google Voice but I know that Google Messages supports RCS on T-Mobile.

First thanks for the quick response, as a past dev im familiar with xda and have been looking through the 7t section including those and im starting to getting familiar. Thanks for the recommend!
I suppose the question I still don't get is the listing is for a tmobile unbranded so does that mean its on global or not? is it on us, not global, but just not branded but other wise 99% similar to branded just lacks carrier apps? Is there a step in between carrier branded and global? Does tmobile varient + unbranded just means it has the straight from OP firmware? If thats the case does that mean it can accept the tmobile branded firmware? I know everyone is like go global it seems but just for the sake of understanding I want to know since its tmobile varient hardware can it go back from OP updates(if thats what its on) to tmobile? and still be bootloader locked?
seems like there is several steps
carrier branded > carrier unbranded(straight from OP?) > global
However the update on OP's site doesn't list a different global download? How do global users get the update? or am i missing that theres a us site section and a non us site section?
There are a few definite ways to find out:
Model Number: the T-Mobile version is HD1907. I have the International version (HD1905) which has dual sim slots (the T-Mobile version only has 1 sim slot available)
Is there a T-Mobile splash-screen
Are there any T-Mobile (pre-installed) apps
If you have the T-Mobile version, it will never have the original OP software unless you flash the International ROM.
It sounds to me like it's a T-Mobile version (HD1907) that's been unlocked and (probably) flashed to the International (global) ROM (which will get you the official OnePlus software as it comes without the T-Mobile carrier bloat, which is really pretty minimal. I think it was 2 apps when I had the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T).
If you decide to re-lock the bootloader, I'm almost 100% sure that you must be back on the original software that the phone shipped with. So if it's a T-Mobile version, you must flash the T-Mobile ROM before you re-lock the bootloader.
No matter which software you have, it's really pretty easy to go from one to the other, especially with the All-in-One tool.
Personally, I prefer the International ROM (or their Beta Channel) because of faster security updates.

So as long as it is infact a HD1907 I can use the builds here to go back to this models stock and then bootloader lock? would this be the best way to do so?
Edit: so the about info says HD1907 it didn't say tmobile when i started it the sim tray hold 1 sim. (just arrived) so I should be able to put it back on tmobile branded and lock the bootloader yes? I didn't actually confirm that its bootloader unlocked but im assuming since about info says its tmobile but appears to not be tmobile branded.(unlocked bootloader is only way that could all be true) The packaging was all completely sealed which is why im just a bit confused still as how it can be a tmobile variant but not be tmobile branded but also not modified outside of the factory?
so it looks like its 10.0.10.HD65AA rom, model HD1907, device state locked. so to go back to tmobile stock would I have to unlock? then do something like in this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-t-mobile-unbrick-tool-to-restore-t4004005 ?

Glad to hear it went well. Aside from a more recent security update, I don't know if you'll see any difference between the T-Mobile ROM and the International (global) ROM so enjoy it.
I know some folks wish there was more development for the OP7T but it's really pretty solid. Oxygen OS is smooth and Android 11 should be available for it by the end of the year. That being said, I'd love to see how the Paranoid Android ROM runs on this device! Hopefully that'll come soon.

HI friends, I have made a mistake buying iqoo9 from Aliexpress without reading the OS description. I read somewhere that vivo is supposed to be offering the option for owners to switch to funtouch is that true will I be able to do that or was that just a rumor?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
same situation for me. I have bought the IQOO 9 pro PD2172A and I would try to flash PD2172F ROM but I don't want to brick my phone.
I hope there is someone expert who can help.
Thank you
Same situation for me!
Bad news guys I contacted Vivo. Switching is not possible as the Chinese version is made for Chinese audience and won't let you flash funtouch. At this point all I can hope for is to be at least able to access USB debugging and remove vivos bloatware.

Hi mate, can you post us the link please? I would try to convince them to give us the possibility to switch to Global rom. At the end we have spent a lot of money for this flagship and if they don't want to lose customers in the future, they should make us happy in someway.
So there's no single way for us now to be able to flash something different onto it? Nobody tried?
the main problem is to find the original ROM so in case of problems you can revert back.
Hi there,
I've got 9 Pro version and I am interested too. is it possible to unlock bootloader? Developer options are very limited - most of functions are grayed.

Unfortunately you can't. They won't even let you use root account to use adb debugging mode to remove their crap bloatware. Unfortunate that an incredible phone like this with amazing specs is locked. I would be happy if they let me at least use adb
Do you think it's possibile at least to flash the Global version over the China version?

No the Chinese phone are branded with different model code even if we assume you manage to get to bootloader which they already have locked and when I asked them they said no. We don't allow bootloader access for phones made for Chinese markets
Traying to find the correct stock software to the Chinese version of Iqoo 9 Pro I found instead software to F model not A. I didn't know the F model does exist at all. Recently Vivo released this model (9 Pro) to India market but I am not convinced it is V2172F. Possibly this software could be downloaded to ours 9 Proses after bootloader unlocked. Am I right?

I don't know about the Indian version I looked for the model number but don't seem to find it. Either way there is no point of that. I already tried to do extract the boot file and attached it to magisk here is the catch you can't run that without bootloader unlocked
If you looking for chiness file, you may find on PAID website, such as ROMDevelopers ETC
Quick update I managed to remove a lot of vivos bloatware, not all but most of them using adb appcontrol just wanted to leave this here in case someone may find use of this info
Hi Moe990
I am doing the same and building a list of what is safe to remove.
A few weeks ago I removed an APP that disabled my NFC (Google Pay) - I had to factory reset my phone
Have you managed to remove :
- Music and Video players
- Phone / SMS / Contact APP
Thanks
Nah not everything is removable. But I'm glad with what I removed so far
I noticed I cannot google back up my phone. its greyed out ... so annyoing
Hello I'm new member who also buy Chinese version I very like this smart phone.

If something looks so easy it cannot be true. This metod simply does not work.
I've read thread after thread and as best I can tell there is an EU version, a global version, an India version, and the T-Mobile version. The radios on the non-T-Mobile versions are different than the T-Mobile version (or so it seems).
What I have is a OnePlus Nine Pro from Amazon, fully unlocked, T-Mobile version. Works fine for me on T-Mobile. What I want is the unlocked firmware, as if I bought it in the US directly from OnePlus. Like the Nine that I got directly from OnePlus that I am returning because I want the telephoto lens and a couple other improvements the Pro has.
Since someone may ask, here is why:
Avoid bright magenta startup screen
Get patches more quickly
Get round icons
Debloated (esp. Qualcomm)
The feel of the phone, to me, is less than the Nine with stock unlocked firmware
The dialer is better on stock OOS 12
I don't want to lose the radio, I don't need an International version, I plan to stick with T-Mobile, so it seems like it should be easy, but I can't find the firmware. If the global version is the same as the unlocked, fine, but do I have to do weird things to keep the US compatible radio (like I read in various threads)?
Hardware version 22, software LE2127_11_C.19, if it matters.

Sorry, but if it is T-Mobile carrier, you have to unlock the bootloader with a token. There is a XDA thread on unlocking the T-Mobile bootloader if you are on a branded LE2127 model phone.

If you install any firmware such as the North American (Global) once the rom is installed you have to go into fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader. No rom comes unlocked....sorry!
This is what you want. Anything else and you risk breaking the radio.

I'm confused. Is the EU version the same as the unlocked version as sold in NA directly from OPO?
[edit], Yes I had read that and don't want to have to screw around with the modems; on the Nine I had several OTAs after unboxing it, the modem just kept working (on T-Mobile, who is my carrier). That page you reference says "You must flash the T-Mobile modem after every OTA" which is not interesting to me. And it talks about dual SIM, which I believe the NA unlocked version does not have (at least the 9 does not). So there is a firmware out there, presumably, that is different.
If I spent the extra money that I don't have on a new Nine Pro straight from OPO, I'd have the firmware I want. Instead I need to flash it, which is no big deal, but I can't find it. And I wouldn't have the pretty blue color : )
Of course I assume my experience with the Nine is the same as the Nine Pro, software-wise.

But you can't use the global firmware on the T-Mobile 9 Pro without losing the radio I thought? I figured that was the whole reason nobody has made an MSM Mod to flash the T-Mobile variant with global instead of EU software.

The T-Mobile 9 Pro has a unique situation where it only works right with the T-Mobile modem. The T-Mobile 9 doesn't suffer from this issue and can use any 9 modem. The process here has been proven to result in a usable modem once the conversion is done. I don't believe the same can be said of using the NA global firmware.
This is what you need to do for the Global Firmware.

The word that keeps throwing me is "global". So if I spent the extra $300 and got it directly from OnePlus in the United States, I'd have the global firmware?
The few threads with "North American" aren't explicit [enough for my tiny brain].
I've been testing the (pretty blue) one I got refurbed, and it seems fine, so I'm keen to fix the issues I've mentioned, and I don't mind the work.
FWIW, most of the time I see "global" on xda, it is different from "U.S.".

It's Global due to it not coming preloaded with T-Mobile firmware. I believe the 2127 you have came sim and bootloader unlocked. I bought my 2127 directly from T-Mobile and had to request T-Mobile to sim unlock it and request a token to unlock my bootloader from OnePlus site due to it being directly from T-Mobile. So, when you convert it to the Global version it will remove the T-Mobile bloat.
9Pro directly from OnePlus site for NA is 2125 and for EU is 2123.

OK, so that's a "no", it won't be the same as the 2125, software-wise. It won't have the very bright magenta startup screen, it won't have the T-Mobile software pre-installed, but there will be differences (what?) from the 2125 firmware.
Right?
Is it possible to get/load the 2125 firmware?

Your phone will pretty much run the 2125 software when you convert the 2127. Won't have anything T-Mobile at all unless you install T-Mobile applications. The main advantage of it all is faster software updates rather than sitting around waiting for T-Mobile to update their software for 2127 branded phones. That thread I posted will help you convert your 2127 to 2125 (Global) BUT! Keep in mind to make sure you retain your T-Mobile modem.

OK, so it is "yes", but with a caveat for the modem. Which is weird because, as I understand it, the modem from OnePlus direct purchases would be fine and fully support T-Mobile. No way to get whatever that modem is [and have it work perfectly]?

The 2127 has a modem specifically with T-Mobile bands as I like to say built for the T-Mobile network. The 2125 has a modem that still works with T-Mobile, but doesn't have the extra bands that come with the 2127 modem. That's why you should retain the T-Mobile modem before converting to 2125

This.
Out of curiosity, if you know, does this apply to the Nine (non-Pro)? I'm used to getting all the T-Mobile bands, until I hold on to my phone so long the network changes.

No, it doesn't apply to the regular 9, just the 9 Pro.
I bought the 2125 Pro for use on t-mobile USA and it has global firmware. I looked on the official OnePlus manufacturer tech specs and it has all the LTE and 5G bands that T-Mobile USA says they currently use in their support site. I don’t understand what this is about a special modem firmware for T-Mobile. Is there something I am missing here?
