Conversion of Oppo R15 Chinese to international version - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I just got an Oppo R15 from a Chinese friend. The phone is great and all but the problem is that everything is in Chinese. This is not a language problem. I mean the version of the OS is Chinese. There is no PlayStore or any other google apps, like a normal android smartphone.
So how do I make it English and use all the usual Google apps?
Thanks for your time.

Go on your browser and search Google Play and Download it!
As for English you will need to go to setting > Language (Yellow Icon with Letter A on it, under the battery logo) > Select English
Hope it helps!

i also got oppo R15 from china and even after downloading play store n all I am still unable to get my phone book through gmail. Not even Jio sim is working in this mobile. Pls suggest what to do

Same here still alot of Chinese scribble here and there. Any luck on another rom? I thought about trying the beta P, but I can't get the link to work

Anyone know how to create an OPPO ID for verification? It's only giving me the option to register using a Chinese phone number. Email registration won't work for me either. I'm trying to install google apps via an installer, but every time it tells me i need to verify my identity.

Same issue
Keeps asking me to sign intovor set up oppo account but I can't because I am not in china and don't have a chinese number. This phone has really pissed me off. There must be a way to wipe and load a global rom on it.

get to browsing first

Yep, never buying another phone from China without first confirming International ROMs again.
For those thinking of flashing the P Beta DON'T. You have GPlay and can install apps, but 80% of them won't work, and it barely functions as a phone, so it's as much of a brick as Chinese ColorOS.

i have had an oppo R15 dream edition i bought in china over 12 months ago, i have no problem downloading google apps and many other apps. i dont bother with the oppo id as it is something all mainland chinese phones have.mine works well and have had no issues. yes when you select english in the setting some chinese characters still appear in some apps but that does not bother me. most of the chinese content is for wechat, alipay and a host of online ordering sites. 1 cant understand why people have issues with the phone.when i travel to china i always use a vpn service so i can use all the google apps and whatever else is blocked or restricted in china.

I dont know how to root this particular phone.
same phone
You have to set the time, date, and time zone to get google play to work on this phone. I just got one and that made it work. Still not sure how to remove the chinese from it, though.
BTW: It's already rooted and unlocked. Mine is an S822D Baidu Hot Pepper, AKA MTK6588, AKA LA-I Dual Core (even though it has quad core)

[Q] Freedom won't work on S2

Hello,
I installed the Freedom app but when I open it, it starts loading it but then goes back to my apps and sais "Freedom isn't available in your country", I tried to use android market unlocker with T-mobile US and a Russian provider. (imgur com ekJKRHG) I can't post a link because this is my first post but I hope it's okay this way, it's a screenshot of the error. I am in the netherlands, my device is SGS 2 and my Android is 4.1.2. I also tried to change timezone's and that didn't work either. My phone is rooted.
I hope someone know's how I can fix this.
Well thanks for reading this and have a nice day,
Lisa
Hey guys does anyone know what to do?
Lisa
Did you change your timezone to Moscow?
You need to go to settings--->apps and find Google Play Store and click uninstall updates
Tutorial that I found and might work here:

[Q] Dakele 3 - Need help to remove chinese restrictions and OS

I have a Dakele 3, and can not install anything from Google . Also the ROM seems Chinese, even after updating from needrom.com
I want it all to change to English and be allowed to use not China as home location.
Can anybody help? ( I have no experience at all! )
Thx!
I found that tutorial to root it. It works!
Now I am trying some other ROMs. Let you know what I can find out
androidground. com/how-to-root-on-micromax-a190-canvas-hd-plus/
Got now all the google stuff running, with installing the Dakele ROM over the posted software. And then I installed the google pack from the app section as well. Also over that rooting software. Works well! :good:
How do you like the phone so far? How are the 3G/4G networks? Are they working? Also, what country are you using it on? I would be happy if you could post some photos.
Best regards,
So far so good. It is fast and nice looking. Unfortunately I can not test 3g or 4g because Canadas network bands are not supported by the phone.
Here some pictures:
and some others
Thx, and another question about the Dakele3

Thanks for your reply about the ROM; you mentioned it is available on the Dakele Forum. Unfortunately the forum itself is in Chinese. Is there an official English forum?
I managed with help of the vendor to install a ROM from 2009 form needrom.com, and now most of the phone is English. I still have some chinese icons in the dialer.
Not disturbing, but If there is a way to make this all English, please let me know. If there is a recent complete Englis ROM , I'd appreciate info or a link.
One thing that IS irritating: if I just click on a number of my dial history when I want to call that number, the country code +86 is added as a prefix. Does anyone know how to remove this setting?
Thanks!

I am a registered member of tomotlei.com. I found the rom- Galaxy Note8 SM-N9500 v5.0
But when you want to download anything from this site you need membership in https://pan.baidu.com/s/1jIP7pno. For this you need a china telephone number for the OTP to be sent . I am stuck there.
The Chinese web page cn be translated easily by Google translate, The rom I told is in Chinese Language. As I know from the discussion there is no multi language option in this rom. So my request is to anybody who has membership in this website, p;ease download it and p;ease translate it to English . It will be great help for those having Galaxy note 8 SM-N9500.
Thanking you

As spoken earlier, if you prefer English room of tomeitolei website then there is no chance to get it since all ROMs there are only in Chinese and even some rom doesn't contain gapps or Google play store. Best way is to stay unroot or else you root by changing TGY bl to CHC bl then root with SuperSU or maybe magisk if you can.
http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=f...ypeid=12917&typeid=12917&filter=typeid&page=1
here is an other site for n9500 roms.
for both bbs or tomatolei sites, downloads are mostly hosted at Baidu.
its free and dosent require an account.
use a computer or request dektop version after entering passwords to access download links.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4443982&stc=1&d=1520780942
now that you can dl the rom. you are 50% closer to your goal.
hey, there. I'm from China, and im glad to help you with the download, i can download it and upload it on Mega if you want. One thing you should know that most ROM in Chinese cut down multi language even Google services to keep ROM thin. so, im afraid if you install a ROM without google service will take you inconvenient.
Please do

I think there will be English language inside this rom, but i'm not sure coz i just own N950F device not 9500 (just read the intro. on website), you can try to flash it with Odin. This rom already rooted and include Google Service, but no Play Store and Play Apps, you can download it manually or flash Gapps. thx.

Thanks for this difficult and great effort from u,that too when even u r not having a note 8 SM-N 9500..
I have downloaded ,extracted the firmware.
There is one notepad in Chinese which I tried to translate,but failed- attachment
There are two CSC files
1- CSC_Tomato-N9500-RA2-v5.0-odin.tar.md5
2-CSC_WIPE_Tomato-N9500-RA2-v5.0-odin.tar.md5
Only one can be flashed in Odin, which one?
I went to tomotlei site with help of google translate, but failed to find tutorials
I think before flashing a factory reset may be required
I know I am asking too much help from u, but there are nobody else I can ask. If you can find a tutorial kindly post it so that all interested parties can be benefited.

flash it just like stock ROM, use BL AP CP CSC files, CSC_WIPE means if you use this file, it will erase all your data on your phone (recommend, avoid FC problem), another one is keeping your data (using when update 6.0 release).
CROM need to be unlocked, otherwise you cant flash it (Odin will show FAIL), you can find tutorials in xda forums to unlock the CROM.
Chinese in the opening windows

thanks for your help.
I flashed the rom by odin, putting csc file - all wipe
all went smoothly, and rebooted, but the screen came with chinese writing with three options lower down, which i could not understand .
I pressed the top option, then started updating, finally the rom installed.
There is english language, but no google play or services.
Then i flashed the latest gapps for nougat 7.1.1, (aroma variant) . Installed corrctly, but fails to open the google play stone- crashed
then i wiped whole rom, restore the stock without the difficulty.
What i noticed is that , i could not find all the additional options they clamed in this rom under settings, it is the same as the stock rom, only there is change of battery icon and the clock is in the centre.
May be it is due to the option i selected.
Finally, what i think is that we need some help from persons who knows chinese and english to help us all to give a good tutorial to flash this rom.
It is very smooth and you can flash it easily and reverted back also easily. You will not loose your root or twrp
so somebody who knows english and chinese , please come forward and help us all.
Once again thanking you
drsaidalavi
I have to tell you that if you flash it, you will:
get a rooted phone
can only charge your phone to 80%
lose official customer support from Samsung immediatly
shows unofficial phone every time you boot it up
etc.
I dont really suggest you to do that, to be honest. But it is your choice.

You can create a vivo account with email
also you can move the combobox that prompts you for phone in the next text in order to login with an Email
And then in its market are available the google framework.
Also you can try to add a google account into the phone and maybe it will prompt you to download the google services from the chinese app store
Can someone help me regarding on vivo account that I encounter because I bought vivo iqoo Chinese version and some of application need to sign in first on vivo account. But I cant register on it because they have are code in China and inida only so how can I register even I change the country in my current country. Pls help me regarding on my problem.

您需要一个链接到中国的VPN从vivo应用商店搜索Gmail安装然后手机会提示您安装谷歌服务点击确定会给您自动安装谷歌服务 安装完成后您就可以通过谷歌商店安装和更新您的应用了 不需要安全验证谷歌商店会自动安装APP
Try to tap on left part above Sign In Button on Vivo Account Login screen
I accidentally tap on that part and was enable to change login method to using email
Of course, you need to create vivo account using email before proceeding
