Hi All,
I'm sorry to bother you all, but I really need you help. I live in Morocco and I bought a new Oppo R17 Pro from Aliexpress, I thought it was a global version, but I once I got my hands on it, I realised that the model is PBDM00 which is a Chineese model according to google and the tons of bloatware installed on the phone . I want to install the global firmware CPH1879 with international rom.
I attached 2 images showing all the details you might need to give a hand.
Could you please inform me on how to do that? I really need your help guys. Thank you so much
You're probably better off on the Chinese version. The latest Android 10 update for R17 Pro just came out a few days ago. It is only available for PBDM00 and PBDT00 variants (both Chinese). I'm on CPH1877 and don't have the Android 10 update yet.
@sghir ziane
The mentioned tons of bloatware installed aren't part of device's ROM: they are either installed as user apps or system apps / system-privileged apps and can all get deinstalled / frozen by you.

i think when you donde it you can install any firmware
i got my oppo r17(pbem00) BL unlocked but i could not do anything after that since we don't have the suitable twrp and you will get stuck in the username and password of the msm download tools in the stock rom files.
Hi Everyone,
I've recently bought a Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G dual SIM from China and I would like to unlock the bootloader to flash an oversea version firmware (with GMS framework). I have enabled the Developer option and OEM Unlocking function and I am having difficulty to get into Fastboot mode. With the phone powered off, I press the volume down button + power button and it only boots into recovery mode. Can someone please point me to the right direction? I also need some help of finding the right firmware for this model and flashing tool. I found this firmware Oppo_Reno 3_Pro_5G_PCRM00_11_A.02_191215.ofp online and not sure if that would be the right one.
Thanks,
Joe

to enter fastboot mode you have to push volume button up and power, not volume down on this phone or you enter in adb shell on your PC the command "adb reboot fastboot"
BUT: I think, there are a lot of hints still not known by us users to unlock this oppo phone. We might like on Xiaomi phones need an oppo Account to unlock.
I myself didn't try to unlock yet. Does only make sense when a working TWRP is out
There was a note in the OPPO RENO forum about getting and running a file from OPPO, after 60 days.
For me the Chinese version is not good anymore, now I can't install any new app on this phone because it says that I have to log in to a heytap account. But if I want to log in, I have to give my Chinese phone number.. I don't have Chinese phone number of course. Any solutions to this problem?
Now the find x2 neo (cph2009eu) released as the global version, and I want to install it's software because it's 100% the same hardware if I know it well. But I can't. I have the firmware for it from the internet, but in a .ofp file, I can't flash it
Okay, now I found a method to install apps without signing in with a chinese number, so the global software is not urgent anymore, but it would be good anyway.
I tried to install the global software via qfil, but it gives sahara error. After a quick search I found that we have to unlock the phone's bootloader to flash the global rom.
But the chinese version that I have does not have fastboot mode, so maybe we have to wait until Oppo will unlock the phone's bootloader officially (probably we have to wait until the next Android/ColorOS beta)
I have bought this EU Version, but funny thing here: they disabled 5G. Mine has 765G, 12GB RAM, dual SIM but neither specified nor selectable 5G
Hi all,
I also own the Chinese version of this phone (PCRM00)
Looking to unlock the bootloader, install EU version of the ROM and also root..
Any help?
Thanks!
Hi,
the Oppo registration ist now available with a none-chinese mobile number. Seems they splittet the HeyTap and Oppo services so you can use an least the Oppo services.
Here is the software update of the global version
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Neo
It gives an error, so suddenly we cant install it simply from the original recovery
My variant is just the 128/8gb version, and maybe this also could be a problem, becouse the global phone has only 256/12 variant. So maybe with a 256/12 varint its woth a try

I have 12/256 EU Version (seems to sell in Poland), dual-SIM, 4G only (although SD765G).
Current Firmware reads CHP2009_11_A.08, March security update.
Is this a valid update or will it possibly bring 5G?

If you have the single-camerahole, 765G version, and the phone is CHP2009, this update maybe woth a try. The problem could be that Oppo dont allow to change the firmware in the official recovery, only update is possible, so if I try to install the global (CHP2009EU) on my PCRM00 (chinese) variant, it fails and dont install anything. And we dont have custom recoverys yet, and the chinese version dont even have fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader, so it seems impossible for me to install the global until Oppo dont unlock our phones bootloaders officially (for example for a beta upadate)
But if you already have CHP2009 software, maybe the update that I linked worth a try. If the recovery allows it..
If I know it well, the CHP2009EU (Oppo find X2 neo) have 5g modem, just like the chinese variant that I have (Theyre the same phone, but the software is different. I want the global software instead of the chinese becouse of Netflix HDR and Google assistant)
It is the single camera hole but 5G disabled- See Spec
I'd show you, but I cannot share screenshots here.
Would it reject update if it was not functional version or would I brick the device, if I flashed incorrect version?
The difference I see ist that X2 neo has single SIM and Reno3 pro has dual. I know from other brands, that this can brick the phone.

There's always a theoretical chance to brick your device when you modify the software, it's your responsibility. But I think there's more chance that the original recovery that we have won't allow you to update your software to the X2 neo's software. If you want 5g, you can try the Chinese variant's software, but I think the recovery won't allow the other softwares to install

I have it now for three weeks, no need for 5G, so better have a working than bricked phone currently.
Probably I'd play around in one year, when tools are more stable.
In fact I considered to search for an update on Polish Oppo site and found an update file for my Reno3 Pro, that was exactly the same as from your link and X2 neo.
So I did the update via Recovery, it ran through and landed with version .28.
It did not change anything on supported bands.
I remember from Sony phones, that bands are defined in NVRAM.
It seems that for all Reno3/X2 variants with 765G the firmware is the same, it is distinguished only by supported bands.

Can you send the link from this update? So we can install this on PCRM00 via recovery?

I just updated from Polish site to latest version:
https://oppo-pl.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Reno3+Pro
Now I am on June 5th security level.
The former file from UK site is exactly the same:

Just tried the polish version on the chinese variant of the phone and it gave me an error.

I also tried it, dont work :/
I don't know if it's really helpful but i think I've read somewhere on the official website that 5g isn't unlocked yet and would be thru future updates.
I live in the Netherlands and my Reno pro 5g should arrive today.
I'm kind of lost by all the different variants though..
The find x neo is also for sale over here and it seems the same service expert a minor different front cam.
But here in the Netherlands they are both for sale but the neo is much more expensive.
Anyway, I'm excited as this will be my first Oppo.
Hey there,
I wanted to buy a Realme GT, but I don't know the differences between all those variants. I'm unsure, if I would be buying a smartphone, which would for example have a lack of some network frequencies I had to use, currently living in Germany.
Could anyone provide me some help? Also, I wanted to root this phone and get some mods, are there any specific variant ones or are they working on all phones?
Would be really nice, if I could get some help, thanks in advance
Realme GT GLOBAL -> have all languages, 5G almost all bands except united states and china Comes with google play
Realme GT EU (or Indian version) it does have lots of languages but for example it don't have portuguese(brazil) language. it does have all bands like realme gt global. It includes some apps or stuff that is related to indian and euro market. Come with google play
Realme GT CN - Chinese variant it comes with google play services installed but no google play store. It comes with a bunch of chinese apps that are kinda useless
Both EU ,CN and Global version will have all 5G bands in germany. (Cn version have less two 4G bands so its recommended to use O2 KPN provider)
All variants can be rooted homeweaver its not recommended as realme didnt released kernel sources yet so there is no twrp (and that make rooting and updating system very HARD without bricking)
Also it is not the best device to root as you will lose in screen fingerprint after rooting.
If you want to look for a phone to root, see oneplus or xiaomi or wait realme community grow with custom roms that can use fingerprint while rooted
Here you can compare different band and combination support:
Global: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202_11
China: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202
I recommend buy Global version if you will use device outside from China.

I just recently got one online for a real decent price thinking that I could load custom ROMs and all but there's nothing out there. Is there any hope for this device or is it better to just get rid of it and get another device which is more likely to be supported in the long run?

I am thinking of buying the Chinese version of this cell phone but I am somewhat hesitant about the issue of google services and updates, you say that it comes with google services installed but without the play store, so google apps and their services will work without problems if I only install the playstore?
