Differences between European/US/International ROMs?

Hi
I haven't found anything regarding this. Could someone tell me the differences between the ROMs?
I actually use a Chinese H1900 variant with international OOS and I was wondering if there is any benefit for me to use EU as I'm in France.
Thanks

Not really, eu rom lacks equilazer settings due to European laws. India rom have some specific benefits like cloud service 5gb. Other than that only hardware changes is band difference. Tested all on my hd1900. Using international

I don't think even hardware is different, the bands are just turned off in the firmware.

Just about to get a 7T and will need to flash either Global / Europe - do you think the equalizer settings are worth going with Global (currently run Bass Booster as 5T doesn't have equalizer either) or stick with Europe as UK based ?

Was there ever a full stock 10.0.6 International ROM posted? I flashed the European version when it was found but want to do a clean install and use International. The OP website only has 10.0.3 in the support page.

Since you have the HD1900, if you flash the EU or International rom, does it unlock the other lte bands? I'm considering buying the HD1900 version but everything I've read states that it lacks the lte bands I need (61 & 71).
Thanks!

Its definitely lacks those bands. Use Oxygen updater app from play store, there can be downloaded all latest updates. Just see in the startup menu what rom is currently on the device. Under my dwvice menu oneplus 7t is for international version, oneplus 7t( eu) is for European version and last will be oneplus ( India) India version. Then go to 3 dot menu and choose version you like to install same naming as the step before. Then select in update method full update, or try incremetal update if you don't see latest version of software now will be 10.0.6. Just follow instructions in the app and you will have new android version faster than the others. Using international version for two weeks no problems on my hd1900 Chinese verion of the phone.

Don't worry those bands are needed only in rural areas in Usa from my knowledge by far. If you live in Europe flash international you will have equilazer unlocked. Some users seem to don't have equilazer unlocked, so you will find only if you flash yourself.
One more thing before flashing. you will need to have (older) or the (same) version rom varian. No posible to downgrade.

I discovered it won't let me flash from the EU version to the International version (both 10.0.6). It sees the International version as being older than EU and prevents the flash. If anyone has an idea how to force it I'd love to hear!

Indian version have call recording, cricket scores, cloud storage, caller identification, sms visualization and few more i guess.
Not sure which of these features have reached other versions now.

You will need to wait for full version of international in app. Now is available only incremetal and thats the reason you can't flash.

Hi, i have the 7t hd1903 model. Can I flash through the local updater the European firmware over the global one with a Locked boot loader? (of course with the same firmware version) thank you

I always thought it was mostly hardware variations rather than software - mostly due to the LTE bands differ depending on the region.
OP's made it so it's not as attractive to buy a phone outside your region due to that. For example, on the original OP7, they left out a few critical bands T-Mo and AT&T needed here for full LTE compatibility. It would still work on the other bands, of course, but it may not work everywhere the US version would.
I think that's stupid, personally, but it seems to be more for marketing than anything else. I think it'd be less hassle to just have one phone with as many bands as possible, then just put different software on it to comply with the legal requirements of those markets.

I have the HD1905 which is US. It has the Indian OOS installed and has the call recorder enabled which I need. Does the US OOS ROM have this feature that you can enabled? If not, can it be done with Magisk modules for call recorder?

That's interesting. What about EU privacy laws makes it that they don't allow an audio equalizer?

The OOS native recording module gives you call recording on the US ROM, it's what I use.
Save the zip to your phone
You need to uninstall the module prior to any oos update. You can reinstall after the update.

Question How to change my OP9 pro indian firmware to european ?

So my OP9 pro is a Chinese variant that came preloaded with oxygen OS out of the box but Indian variant, the phone works well except for one problem, it doesn't support 5G where i am ( Dubai using etisalat) while my wife's 9 pro came preloaded with the european firmware and 5G works fine on the same network, is there a way to switch to the latest european build ( C.62) and will i need to do a factory reset ?
thanks in advance.

Global rom has 5G I don't think EU rom does. I could be wrong though. I had to switch to Global when I converted before to get 5G. But maybe it has changed since then.

I have an unlocked (direct from Samsung at launch) G4F that I use primarily with T-Mobile. I use my eSIM for that line and have a physical SIM card from VZW for work.
If I use the above link to install the TMB version, that'll convert me from SM-F936U1 to U, right? Any downsides?

Question Seeing around the internet that root won't be available?

I'm assuming they are referring to custom roms. As far as we know, there is no reason this phone will not be rootable, correct?

OnePlus/Oppo have decided to lock the MSM Tool behind a technician login. Now that devices can't be easily unbricked, would-be devs are either moving elsewhere (and have been since the 10 Pro and 9RT released with this restriction) or can't get testers willing to have to pay to fix their devices if they brick.

Oh right, thanks. I looked around at those others phone pages and then canceled my preorder lol. I guess I don't want to be locked to a china rom... Who knows if the Gov might decide to ban them or something anyways like Oppo.

Hello m8, if you want to order a ON11 do it in the US store so you can get a Global Variant. I got mine at the Pop Up and i already unlocked the bootloader, basically waiting for my OTA update to root it with magisk. Not for Roms but other stuff.

It's sad really. I was shocked to see that the US model has dual physical SIM + eSIM. I definitely would have considered it over the S23 Ultra I ultimately ended up buying if not for the MSM issue because if my OnePlus 9 had dual SIM or pSIM+eSIM, I would have kept using it instead of getting the Pixel 7 Pro but I wanted dual SIM.
Coming from the OnePlus 9 where I got *intimately* familiar with the MSM Tool after bricking my phone a bunch of times (which if you check my signature, I rooted every single one of my past Android phones and never managed to hard brick one like that until the OnePlus 9 so it speaks volumes for how poor their bootloader is programmed that it's so easy), even making custom mods for people with unique bricking situations so they could recover their phones too, I'm not going to buy one without that option. I mean even if I left it stock like I'm going to have to with the S23 Ultra (can't be bootloader unlocked in the US as usual), I've seen too many people report having bricks while locked just from taking updates. Just isn't worth the risk.

There is no double SIM +eSIM.
If you install eSIM, the second SIM (physical) slot is blocked.
So in this case you will have SIM + eSIM.
100% is in my European version (2449)

He was just stating what the phone has access to, because phones can only have 2 phone lines connected at the same time for the moment. Every phone that takes Esims does it like that.

No I'm well aware how it works. I'm just saying that US models from the 9 through 10T didn't even get dual SIM and now they get dual SIM and eSIM added as options with the 11. It's almost like OnePlus is listening to some feedback finally.

Hi, did You root Your OP11?
Do You have any safety guide to do it? Step by step like for little kid?
I know that the phone is relased few days ago but it will be nice to move from old OP6 as soon as possible.

unlock your bootloader , pull your init.boot.image from full rom pack
move the image to your internal store on your op11 install magisk.apk and patch your init.boot.img and move the patchet img to your pc and flash the img with fastboot

This is the reason why I went back to my OnePlus 7T from a newly purchased Pixel 7 Pro - I need the ability to utilized both SIMs with seperate RingTones for business purposes, it still doesn't work 100% (everytime) on the P7Pro using AutoMate and this would be an easy fix for Google Developers.

no one can say what the whole thing will look like in the future (unless his crystal ball isn't broken)
but I think that the op11 will run the same way now and in the future (make an update and flash magisk in the inactive slot)
