Hi.
I have a problem with my Note. I bought the Korean version of the phone (at leats it should be) but the specifications of the phone are driving me crazy lol
As I said, when I bought it, it should be the Korean version, however the rom running on it is from AT&T (AT&T splash screen, AT&T wifi hotspots in the settings, AT&T phone update and so on). The phone is rooted. When I run a device info app, it’s a mess:
Android version: 2.3.6
Release Codename: REL
CPU ABI: armeabi-v7a
CPU ABI2: armeabi
Hardware: SHV-E160L
Board: MSM8660_SURF
Device: SGH-I717
Display: GINGERBREAD.Jhonms.557419
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-i717
Product: SGH-I9220
Even though I don’t understand some of this info, there are 3 things that intrigue me. The CPU, I guess it’s from the Korean version, since it seems the AT&T devices have a QUALCOMM processor. But the weirdest part for is the Hardware (SHV-E160L) and the Device and Model (SGH-I717) information. Shouldn’t that be the same in all the information? So my phone is it the AT&T model or the Korean model? The guy who sold it to me told me it was the Korean model but they change something in the ROM to support Chinese (I live in China), and the Korean ROM doesn’t support Chinese. However, I want to put the original Korean ROM because it has the NFC already working, while in the AT&T build I have in my phone, it’s not activated yet. So, anyway can anyone tell me which model I have?
And, if it's the Korean model, how did he put the AT&T ROM on it? I thought you couldn't mess the S7000, SI717, etc model roms?!
Thanks in advance.
This is all correct for an i717 at&t model.
hi,
i am also living in china and i guess i have the same device with yours.
i checked some web sites and they said at&t model doesn't have any physical home button.
but mine has it and the korean model (E160L) has it, too.
so i guess the hardware is from korea but the rom is not the original one.
does your device has '掌界网www_dot_wpcnn_dot_com' in Build number?
if so, it must be the same as mine.
i am thinking whether i can rewrite E160L original rom by modifying some information in build.prop. but i haven't succeeded in doing it because i don't know correct data in E160L's build.prop. (i am thinking samsung kies can update the rom to E160L's one if i fake it to E160L)
this device supports LTE though. i don't know if it's enabled on this device or not.
*#2263# doesn't the menu for it.
and i tried to install CMW (for SGH-I717) by odin3 today. flashing it to the device was ok. but the device cannot get in recovery mode....(infinite loop of booting)
anyway, this rom sucks.

Was anyone able to flash CWM on this? I am also having a loopy-recovery.
AFAIK... CMW = for ENGLISH, FRENCH and SPANISH etc ...languages.... and not set for 128bit character languges (am not sure iof right-correct tech word for chinese kange etc sorry to lazy to look that word up!)
the CMW = for 'western languages' only
Smart for S'sung = KOREAN MODELS = as non western languages .....
((( that they designagted that as "INTERNATIONAL MODEL" phones different MODEL NUMBER to ATT/Rodgers etc )))
There is a thread from one OP = about BOUNTY for making "korean models' able to do CMW + ATT/Roders ROMS etc ,,,,, you can search for there for my comments ..
Cheers , hope this helps towards some explinations of CMW/Drivers etc between two models of NOTE

no, no and no.
If I may have your attention within this Thread, the report system is not for ROM issues .
The report system is for Forum Rule violations, so please do not use the reporting system to identify your ROM/Rooting and or any issues regarding this manner.
Please understand that issues if they can be will be addressed, within the thread. Continue reporting that regarding your ROM issues, will result in abuse of the reporting system.
Thank you.
i have the same phone as you do some chinese guy rooted the phone without asking me and then i have ended up with this boring software i have tired everything the at&t thing doesnt even work but i will keep looking and when i find it i will post to let you know what i did!!
Hi, would it be possible to convert a Galaxy S8 Japanese version (SC-02J) to a Canadian version G950W or a US unlock G950U1?
I know the question sounds crazy but the Japanese model has the Snapdragon chipset and the same other specs as the other Snapdragon versions... The reason I want to do this is to have french language on this freakin device I've been trying with Combination Firmware but Odin keeps blocking my attemps...
Any idea?

Do you want to unlock your SC-02J? You can try samkey to do it. Good luck!
Convert SC-02J...
Hi bro, no it's already sim unlock. I'm desperately searching a way to add french language in this phone ?
Thanks ?
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.
