Hey, I recently got the moto 360 second gen as a gift from my uncle who lives in China. I imagine you already know why I'm here, I'm stuck with this chinese modified android , heard its called custom Chinese firmware (cant change to English) and I have no idea what to do. I'd really appreciate any help on how to get the newest AW. thanks
Edit: I somehow managed to pair the watch with my phone by downloading an older version of the AW. When I tried with the newest one it said 'incompatible device' and asked me to get the chinese version of the AW.

Hey guys, how you all doing?
A few months back i messed up and hard bricked my phone (Moto X 2nd gen) doing an OTA update. The company wanted to charge me with 250 bucks, so i bought a new phone. (moto Z play)
The other day I got an email from AliExpress where they were selling a new motherboard for 20 bucks. So I got it to fix my "old" phone.
Everything worked perfectly, but when I started the phone, everything was in chinese, even the android version..
Being the chinese version, it doesn't have Gapps and it doesn't allow to use my native language (Spanish).
So my question is: Could I flash the Spanish stock rom or would it brick again? I just want to have a phone just in case mine breaks or something. I want to be able to get OTA updates and all, but with the Spanish version of the OS.
I hope you can help me. Thank you very much for your time and for future responses.
Cheers!

Yes you can but your phone becoming a brick depends on whether you screw up while flashing the os.
If you can then pls invest your time in another motherboard since I have heard that Chinese motherboards aren't that good because some are fake etc..
Have a nice day!
Hello Moto Z community!
I was about to buy a Moto Z since the price I found is a complete bargain! (Around 190-200€)
But then I realized that it was the dual sim chinese version (XT1650-05) and then a few questions went to my mind...
1.- Would it be compatible with all the roms made for the single sim version? I would never use the second sim slot , I would use it for the sd card
2.- If I buy it, Will it come at least in english? (My first language is spanish, but I could use it in english)
3.- If I buy the gamepad moto mod will it work properly? (I mean in the stock ROM, in the Custom Roms I saw that only a few supports them)
I'm a little confusef about the models of this phone and I prefer to ask before buy and make a mistake!
Thank you in advance people, and excuse me If I commeted a fail in the text, as I said, english is not my first language
Now it *should* however, double check. Chinese phones usually have more restrictions and slower updates. I'd look for a XT1650-03 model if I were you.
It sounds like the XT1650-05 does not come with Google Apps.

I just bought this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LEL8ABY/ and it is a dual SIM 1650-03 RETAPAC model.
I'd already bought a 05, cause un my country I couldn't get a 03 and the 32gb (the one for the EU) is just too expensive and I couldn't buy it, anyway when it arrives I'll test if everything works correctly and then try to install another rom or try the method that is around for install the verizon nougat and later update it to Oreo. Thank you anyway
Hello everyone. As my tablet is still running under Android 5.1, and the dealer does no more support this device, I am looking to find away to update this device. I guess it is sold under lots of different denotations. The device has LTE and a simcard slot. So does anybody know how to update the firmware? If you need more details dont hesitate to post it. Thanks for your help
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.

https://bbs.coloros.net/graphic?id=1498611
https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-oppo-r17-pro/
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.
Hey guys, i've come across some bugs while installing the RMX1921EX_11_C.02 version from the Indian site to my phone and i would like some clarifications or help if someone faced those and overcame them.
- To begin with let me start by saying that I bought a global Realme XT with the firmware being RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
- I then managed to brick cyclops the device by trying to install RMX1921EX_11_A.10. Phone wouldn't boot, stuck on the Realme black/white logo.
- I managed to install RMX1921EX_11_A.06 through recovery and sd card.
- Then I downloaded from the Indian support site and installed through file manager the version RMX1921EX_11_C.02.
Now, on this version everything seems to work ok minus some bugs:
- Phone gets a bit laggy sometimes
- Brightness in automatic mode is not working
- Software update through settings won't work. Crashes a while after opening
- Battery life seems affected, won't last anyway near to what it was on RMX1921EX_11_A.05
So my question is, has anyone experienced any of those and found a solution to the bugs?
Also, is there anyway to obtain and roll back to the original stock rom RMX1921EX_11_A.05 from the beginning and then wait for the official OTA update?
Thank you in advance
Are you sure your phone firmware is RMX1921EX_11_A.05. (India version) not RMX1921EUEX (global version)?
If your firmware is India version, you should be able to unlock the bootloader and install twrp.

Yes, absolutely sure but im confused as RMX1921EX_11_A.05. is supposed to India version which my phone had but then the place i bought it was advertised as the global version and also i didn't receive the official ota update through the phone's update settings (and supposedly having the indian version). Seriously, realme's firmware naming and distribution is so confusing and impractical. but let's say i indee have the indian version, what does unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp mean? how will that help me and are there any cons into doing that? Thanks man
unlock the bootloader you can root the phone

My XT is was some as the global version. But from what I'm reading this says I'm using the Indian version? But I have NFC. This is so confusing. Bought this phone thinking I could unlock and root.
This confusing but normal. I bought two EU phones with NFC. One for me and one for my girlfriend. She is still on RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
I updatet my Phone to A.06 and when i look in phonedetails is called RMX1921EX_11_A.06.
I read that A.05 can be unlocked in the other thread. I would test this by myself, but yeah i don't want drama with my girlsfriends phone.
So i don't touch it

India version comes with no NFC. You can try Depth test apk , it won't hurt your phone even you pass it. Let us know if your global version can pass it or not.
