Hi all, I have recently purchased a LETV X800 from Aliexpress. Seller said he will ship with international firmware but i've read that it comes with some viruses and malware.
First thing when i get the phone I want get it on the original firmware, as long as it has English! Can i flash the latest firmware from here? Or could you give me the right link to download the firmware?
Any tips on how to flash the original firmware on the X800?
First of all, you have to find out what kind of phone you get ! The CN model or the US version. Only then you know what firmware you can flash (or not !).
Oh, to quick with answer, see that you'll probably get the CN version. Maybe this forum is for you : ****://www.letv.re/forum/16-le-1-pro/
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yeh most probably i'll be getting a CN version. Phone should be reaching in about 7 to 10 days.
Hi there.
Just received the phone. I got a CN version.
Is it recommended to move to the latest EUI5.8.017S firmware? I am currently on EUI5.5.0.13s
Maybe for you it's better to ask your questions in the forum http://www.letv.re/forum/144-rom-cn/ ?
This one is more for the US version of the phone.
Thanks

Hello,
I come to your forum because I have several questions;
Sorry to bother but I'm a total newbie in phone system that's why I would like to gather information from you.
I'm in EUrope and I bought a Honor 7X phone but problem is the system seems to be from China region.
I've heard this could lead to several problem such as lack of Updating system , but aside from security Update , what other problem could it cause ? Impossibility to download ? To phone ?
(I know about the impossibility to use customer EU service, but that is not what scare me, the thing that bother me is if one day I couldn't go on internet anymore, use googleplay or other service to download)
Aside from that, I have also heard from your forum about a software that could change the ROM , called SRK Tool .
Here again my main question: Is there a risk in doing that ?
Like if you change your ROM from China to EU , is everything will be Oki Doki as if you bought it in EU or does some Update or Feature will still have issue (except China feature of course) ?
Does there is any risk the phone beeing originaly in China region will lock itself or anything since the system is in EU now ?
Long story short: What is the Risk - Reward of changing your ROM with SRK Tool ?
Sorry for the noob questions , and Thank you for taking time to reply to me and help me.
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.

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,
Bought Nova3 PAR-AL00 in China, but I'm living in Europe region. Phone comes with lots of chinese applications which is bothering me.
Now I've got error enabling Location History in Google and I believe it may have something to do with the chinese version of firmware...
Anyone has good idea on how to rebrand to another region, without high chance of bricking the phone?
Thanks in advance!
I'm in the same situation, the problem seems to be the lack of a procedure to unlock the bootloader and subsequently root and edit the ROM.
Anyone has any idea how to unlock bootloader on Nova 3 (PAR-AL00) or any other hardware revision?
me 2..
is this method will work in our model

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

If something looks so easy it cannot be true. This metod simply does not work.
