So my friend said he wanted a redmi note 5 pro so i said its a great phone however not thinking he would order 1 in an instant 3 days later i told him dont forget to buy the global version but it was already to late the phone was on shipped so im getting his login details to contact the seller to see if its not to late to cancel but i have a few questions.
So i know the only difference is the frequency bands but that shouldnt be an issue i live in holland and here the operators use 3 and 7 and some operators use 3 , 7 and 20 so with some operators he would only miss band 20 so that wouldnt be a huge problem.
But the phone has chinese firmware no multilanguage and nno google playstore or at least it says so in the description do i need a custom rom or could i flash miui global rom and gapps without the need of a custom rom because my friend is not very techie and i think for him it would be best to keep on to a original rom. (he doesnt know what a rom is).
Thanks in advance.

Just help your friend and unlock the bootloader. Flash the global rom afterwards and it will be fine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...dmi-note-5-china-ai-to-leaked-global-t3782175
I have the chinese version and I live in the EU too. There is a way to install play store and google play services on the chinese rom. Here is a very nice tutorial on how to do that. Also, you can delete most of the chinese bloatware, but not all.
I am currently running LineageOS and thanks to the great developers it's pretty stable and working well, but if your friend is not very techie, as you say, it would be best to skip the bootloader unlocking and stick to the chinese ROM. I don't think that it will make much of a difference.
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.

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

Confirm that needed phone number to create the account . My nex 5G version can only be registered with India and China.
Dear VIVO engineers ,
as you know many of us got Chinese variant of VIVO NEX 3, because we think generally is the best variant cause a lot of reasons.
Now we have problems to use device in normal life because :
1) Google Pay is not licensed so we can't add cards to pay in stores
2) FM Radio is disabled ( meanwhile you have enabled and supported on Malaysian variant of device )
3) Bootloader is heavy closed. We can't root device and we can't fix by ourself Google Pay problem
Please VIVO,
follow your customer suggestions .

Please unlock the bootloader for vivo z1 pro
Nice you sent it to Vivo. Hopefully they will pay attention. At least the bootloader unlocking.
We should all send it.
It is usless they will never add this feature . It is not made for global use ... it is for China market.
For anyone who has a Fitbit -> FitbitPay works. I use it as a workaround for now.
Did this work with the original Vivo Nex?
Maybe magisk can be installed somehow? Fitbit is for smartwatch so another hardware.
I wrote an email to VIVO according firmware flash from 1924A to 1924F.(global).
I can root in my device in vivo y15

Have they answered yet? Is it possible to flash global rom to a Nex 3 that has Chinese rom?
Saya ingin membuka bootloader please
Vivo answered to my email. We cannot flash global rom to Chinese rom phone.
Dear vivo user,
Thanks so much for your email and we are sorry for the delay. In order to satisfy the needs of our users from different regions, some of our phones have two versions( Chinese version and Global version). The Chinese version is designed for Chinese Mainland users and has made some changes to meet the Chinese market, which differs much from the global version. Currently, the phones with the Chinese version cannot install the Global version. Your understanding will be highly appreciated.

Excuse my English but I am not native, I use a translator.
Hello, I have a Redmi 7 that I bought, but it has a modified version of the software by the phone company, they blocked a SIM slot. I imagine that for that the software change. So I was in the MIUI Global version 10.3.8 (PFLLMCR), I was wondering if I can change this ROM for a global .EU version for example to have official MIUI 11 (or 12, which is already missing).
Could you make this change despite the different software version without problem?
