Hi Guys,
I owned my Oppo Find X some months ago. Through a webshop in switzerland.
It was titled as Oppo Find X 128GB Global. I payed like 200$ more for that global version.
As I unpacked it, I saw that there was a transparent case inside, just like in the Chinese Versions. According to my information, i thought the global version has no case supplied.
And also the american standard of the charger was inside and a little adapter for europe.
I started the phone and saw the casual Google setup, same like every other Android. Everything was working, Google Assistant, Google Play so I didn't thought about global or not. There were just 2 chinese Apps installed (some Social Network), I deleted them.
Some days later I noticed, that I'm not receiving Notifications from all apps. So I wanted to add some apps more for background activity (as I had read the global version should support 9 apps at once) but after 5 it told me with a message that there could only be set 5 apps.
I started reading more threads about it and saw that there is an CPH1871EX version (europe?) which should be the global version and mine looks like to be the taiwan version. I was also stuck on ColorOS v5.1 and there was no update shown on v5.2 until yesterday where I used a VPN to connect to taiwan, then I received the v5.2.
So my question, have I been fooled? Did I got an chinese Version with installed google apps?
Do I have now to connect to taiwan, everytime I want to check for an OS update?
Is there a way to switch to EX, does it even matter?
What does the A.12 on the end mean, and why didn't I got directly the A29(which is the newest I think)
Oh and a total different question, do we know if every Find X will get ColorOS 6, or just chinese?
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi. I have CPH1875, when we will have Pie?
I do think you got the global version but it was specific to Taiwan for some reason. I have the Australian version and it came with a case so I don't think that's an issue. I also have the 5 startup app limit. CPH1875EX.

On my version, with last update, the lockable apps in recent app are 7. Autostart app were already 9, idk now if the number is still 9 or more, can't try.
I have the 10.8" LTE version of the M5 (CMR-AL09) and unfortunately I got the Chinese version (this stops me from getting find my device and meraki MDM working 100% properly. I'm trying to find and install the global version of the rom but can't seem to find it. If anyone has info on where to find a build (and also tips on installing) I'd appreciate it.
Hello,
I have a Honor 20 Pro bought from China, with Chinese firmware. I would like to change a global firmware. Problem is I don't know witch is the correct version. In the firmware finder of huawei says my compatible firmware is YAL-LGRP2-OVS. In the engineer menu says I have installed YAL-LGRP1-CHN.
Its the same phone? Its possible flash yal-lgrp2 in my phone yal-lgrp1?
Thanks.
please can anyone answer that ??
I have the same question as I bought the same device from chine
LGRP1-CHN for Asian models and LGRP2-OVS for Global models
You can´t flash Global Rom on China Version.
Hi I am on emui 9
With COL-L29 on 9.1.0358
What is the easiest way to change region on this thing. Wanna get ready for emui 10 or beta access In Europe
Thx
I think you can use FirmwareFinder from the Play Store and install new (legit!) software from there, through e-Recovery, however I've never used it before. Mnay other users have reported success with this method though so it's up to you....
If you do do it, don't install the newest version. Install the full-OTA update first and then install the smaller updates after otherwise your device will brick.
What is e recovery? How do I get it
anymore takers ?
Hi
Couple of years ago I bought redmi 5 plus which is china version but it got global miui stable version installed. (probebly by retailer)
now there is miui 10 and 11 available for my phone but I can not update using system update in setting. it says no update available.
so what should I do?
my own idea is to go back to china stable rom, but I don't know what method is harmless and easier to do so?
you have to unlock your boot-loader only then you will be able to flash latest global or chinese official MIUI rom. it is safe process, use xiaomiflasher softawre in PC.. watch more instructions in google or youtube.
