Device Regions

Hi xdaforum users,
I'm a newbie here so apologies in advance as I'm not into modding phones or have done rooting before, so my knowledge is limited. I am looking to get an overall understanding about getting a device from another region.
So currently I'm interested in the 7x and have a few questions in regards to the device as it is not released in my country, nor will it ever. Only Huawei is available and not its Honor brand in my country.
So here are the questions:
- If I can use it in my country, will I be able to receive OTA updates, security patches, etc even though I wont be in India and in another region?
- As the device is setup for India market, Google Play store be set by default to India region. How can it be changed to support my country upon first set up of the device?
- The Indian model is BND-L22 which was rebranded from the BND-AL10 version. Research online have some retailers selling a Global version of the phone which receives OTA updates, etc, now which model version of the 7x is this?
Thanks in advance for the knowledge sharing, it's much appreciated.

BND AL10C675 is the Indian variant.

If you are looking for budget midrange devices, Honor 7x is very good. However for a person interested in rooting and flashing custom roms, this phone is a strict NO NO as of now.
The main reasons are so many variants with different firmware which can brick if flashed on another variant (which I did on my honor7x and had to get motherboard replaced before service centre could flash original stock) and lack of stock roms on all the variants.
Lack of any service centre in your country is another disadvantage if you are into flashing etc.
Now coming to your questions:
1. The indian variant is not BND-L22 but BND-AL10C675 which currently has zero firmware support or downloads from honor although two OTAs have come so far. No faceunlock yet. Only gyroscope was enabled etc..
2. Google play store should work anywhere if you buy the Indian version. I guess the Chinese version lack playstore. Indianversion and International versions have it.
If you are into flashing roms etc. and would like to get a device from India, I would suggest two phones in similar price range which has plenty of ROMs to try and excellent hardware.
1. Oneplus X
2. Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus
I have personally used both and have flashed innumerable ROMS on both. In fact, the OnepusX stock firmware had a kernel issue, it randomly rebooted, which I could fix usinga boeffla kernel and AOSP rom.
Both come with topend snapdragon 800 series (801 and 820 respectively) and blazing speeds.
I gave away both (still near me, used by my brothers) and went to Honor only because of 18:9 aspect ratio. The fingerprint reader too is the fastest in Honor7x. Far accurate and faster than Mi A1.
Infact most the features we get only after rooting and custom rom are pre-built into the honor stock firmware. 90% of the bloatware that came can be uninstalled too like games etc.
You may ask then why I tried custom ROM on honor 7x, that's because I am an enthusiast. I love these developers who try to bring future into the present (For eg. last dec itself, I was using oreo 8.1 on oneplus X).
All the best!:good:

Thanks for response, yes the Honor brand has caught my attention, more so over the others. Sorry to hear about your 7x, atleast its all working again
I e-mailed honor support and got this information in regards to some of the questions to get an idea. I'll summarize.
As quoted by Honor support in italics:
7X Model Version for India:
- Honor 7x >> Bond-L22B (32GB), Bond-L22C (64GB)
(I believe it says BND-AL10 on the box, what does your device box and phone say?)
OTA Updates: and Google Playstore:
- we are sorry to inform you that you will not get OTA software update of Indian devices in out of India
- you may contact to respective country support for information regarding load Google play store.
- we are unable to provide any software updates from India to South Africa and Google Play Store would be set on by default to India.
(Yes Playstore is international, however as above they say its set to India, then in my country I will not be able to get apps native to me. Is there any way of changing region on the playstore for my region?)
For me, I'd prefer to keep the original firmware all be it of a region that the device will be kept up to date with, no matter where in the world I am as well the correct region playstore.
Thanks for the other suggestions of devices, however if I was to decide on another device it would have been the honor 9 lite. lol of which I would be left with the above questions still.

Disclaimer: By attempting any of the processes listed in this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.
Hi everyone, similar to the previous threads for
OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP5T, OP6, OP6T, OP7 and OP7PRO here is the EDL package (also known as MSM tool or unbrick tool) that can revive a bricked OnePlus 7T.
It can also be used to rollback your phone to a previous release of OOS.
You can download the following versions:

It should work with HD1900 (Chinese variant), HD1901 (Indian variant) and HD1905 (North America) models.
Instructions:
Power your device off
Maintain volume up and volume down keys to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
Click on Enum to be sure your device is detected and press Start.
Wait ~300 seconds
Enjoy your brand new device
FAQ:
I see a target button, what is that?
As you may (or may not!) be aware there are starting from 7T-Series build specifics to India.
Selecting "O2" as target should give you the global firmware while selecting "India" as target should give you the Indian one. See
https://imgur.com/2ipNyIy
for a screenshot.
My device isn't detected when I click on "Enum" button
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked in first part of this FAQ.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.

Awesome! Now we wait for the ability to convert the T-Mobile version to the International version.

There's probably some potential if T-Mobile one got released. Not to mention that in case something goes wrong it will be nice for you to be able to go back to T-Mobile firmware.
Even if I don't own the devices, I remember that what was done six months ago for the 7 Pro was patching the OPS file directly and unchecking SHA256 check box in MSM tool window as OnePlus implemented additional protections disallowing to patch the .exe directly in the same way at what was done for the 6T. My guess is same will have to be done for 7T.

Unsupported Target EU
Thanks a lot for providing this for all of us!
However, I just did it and it stopped after 6s stating: "Unsupported Target EU". Does this have something to do with my device being the EU-Version? Doesn't the MSM Tool work for my device?

That might be due to that indeed and that's very weird as for OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro MSM tools allowed you to crossflash build without any issue ...

Thanks in advance.

Need 7T Pro's Unbrick tool

Will be watching this to rebrand T-Mobile to international

I believe that choosing target as international will allow you to switch to international firmware. Note that I however did not try as I do not own a unit. Feel free to do so and report back and don't forget that it will wipe all your internal storage!

Probably not necessary. I just took the leep in the dark and went with "O2". And it all worked fine!
My 7t was hard bricked (only qualcomm modem working), and German OnePlus support wouldn't even want to get me the MSM tool (they said they didn't have it at their disposal, yet). Now, after using just this thread's exact MSM tool, with O2 Setting, my 7t is back on and I even manavged to fully root it!

That is really great to you went and took the risk for us!
Now I cannot wait to try this at home in a couple days on my hard-bricked French OP7T. For the anecdote, I got kind of the same response you did, from the French support chat. That they don't have the flashing tool at their disposal yet. Sounds like bull, but they apparently won't to a remote flash for us in Europe. Myself I really didn't want to send it for repair after reading the horrendous stories about OnePlus service centers. Neither did I really look forward to taking another spin at the OLED screen lottery! Thanks for that, man.

how do I know the phone got into EDL mode?
Nevermind, it worked. OP pls note that this tool also works for HD1900 version

can you share the patched boot file you used to root it without losing wifi? You used this tool so you should have the 10.0.4 HD65AA version of rom yes? So what was the file you used?

I think they might be getting pressured to use that as little as possible. I contacted them when I got into difficulties with O12DP, they wanted me to mail it to China from UK.
Luckily I found the EU MSM and got back up

Possibly, the worst that would probably happen is you'll get an error telling you it's not for your phone. I did previously flash the NA rom to my phone using that version and it worked.

Question How to switch from LineageOS to Oxygen OS?

I have the Oneplus 9 Pro LE2120 model with LineageOS installed (lineage-19.1-20220920-nightly-lemonadep). How can I install Oxygen OS?
With the OxygenUpdater app running on LineageOS it downloaded LE2125_11.C.48_1480_202204082113, so I'm guessing the LE2125 version of OOS works on LE2120.

Just use the MSM tool for your model to return to factory settings and then upgrade from there :

The phone is "OnePlus 9 Pro 5G Dual SIM OxygenOS LE2120" purchased in Australia. So it is the LE2120, but it seems the LE2120 has OOS installed outside of China.
The MSM tools look useful, but as you said there doesn't seem to be a LE2120 version.

Yeah, The Chinese model isn't supposed to have OxygenOS that's why. I would guess that someone installed the Global build on it, so that should mean you can use the Global MSM.

I have an LE2120. The Global MSM tool will give a SHA-256 mismatch in the flashing process. But the EU MSM tool will work.

There is also the "payload flasher" tool
from latest "full ota" for your sevice, extract the payload.bin and flash
(maybe a bit tricky getting started, but it works the most of the times)

Thanks for the help, I got it working.
I installed Windows, then ran the EU MSM tool but got the error "Unsupported target IN". So I ran the India MSM tool which loaded the Indian OxygenOS 11 onto the phone. Then after a series of updates in OxygenOS using the system updater (one was over 4GB), an update to OxygenOS 12 was installed.
In OxygenOS it now says the phone model is LE2121.
