Oppo Find X “Global” variant - Oppo Find X Questions & Answers
Guys where we can get Find X in Global version.
Any good confirmed web sites where we can order it without issues.
Chinese version is everywhere for around 980$
Also in for a legit site with real Global model
Gearbest
i got mine off ebay.. you have to read the details in the post to see which is regular vs cn version. it came with app store and everything installed.. booklet was in cn and the voice assistant, oppo center and themes are cn.. but everything else is english.
link below:

Okay, I have watched many India videos of unboxing the oppo find x and they all show the same model number as pafm00. I don't think there is a "global" variant. I would love to be proven wrong if someone could show me otherwise.
Well. If you want to wait, then it would have to be the European release as Mandarin is the #1 most spoken language in the world because of India alone. So the Chinese variants do not differ from India

Mandarin is the language Chinese and Indians speak (Chinese is not a really a language). Most spoken language in the world(by # of people) is Mandarin then English. English is the most widely spoken language (being the national language of over 100 countries)
Hopefully this clarifies what I meant

Not really, I see no mention of Mandarin being a commonly spoken language in India in either link I posted.
Again, I've never been to either country,so, I admittedly have no 1st hand experience with what languages are commonly spoken in India, just what I've read & researched on the subject.
Regardless, the phone hardware is nice, the software blows major chunkage, making for a rather unsatisfying experience in any language,especially at the current price......

Yeah. I know what you are saying. I got the phone and it is great. Almost all Mandarin is gone except voice assistant. But I learned the word to unlock it so I'm happy.
But just a side, here's an article to indicate the push of Mandarin (Chinese) in India as to the reason why, Indians version does not vary from China. And as original stated, just will have to wait on the England launch

Hey. Great to have one. When I traveled over, doing research. I was educated on the fact that Mandarin and english was learned to grow business and other aspects . Along with the other languages and dialects. A few of my colleagues in India also speaks Mandarin. So could it be by areas? I know statistically, Hindi is supposed to be the main.
guys do you think that we will be able to flash the "european rom" when this device will be officialy introduced to the european market?

Based on the link from this thread. The possibility may be there if we can understand the language and hey someone inside to help release the info or give us ever we need.

I wouldn't be first to try flashing the Euro software onto the Chinese device, I've read a number of carnage reports on these forums doing that. Even when possible a mistake can lead to brickage with some devices; a notable example would be the Find 7. Do it right you were ok, make a mistake and you were dead. A very different thing from a vanilla android device which is very hard to truly brick.
Smart money is to wait for the actual Euro version which is not what is being seen in the Indian Tube videos, that is the Chinese variant. The Euro version will not require the seller to install the play store, it will not have a locked launcher as that is against googles terms of service for devices offering the play store. It may or may not have the overly aggressive app shutdown and whether the bootloader will be unlocked is in question. Still, if you're wanting to drop ching that's the device to take a chance on.
i think that they do not want to make some of those changes which is the reason they aren't planning to launch in the US..
PS- mine came with the playstore preinstalled and it is apart of the system apps.. however google play services was not apart of system apps..

My assumption right now is that indian version will be the global one.. point in case the vivo nex doesn't have any issues with 3rd party launchers or jivo shoved down our throats... The Indian version should be good to go
Yes, that's what I'm saying: The version being shown by the Indian Tubers is the Chinese variant. We need to wait for the international. There is no data I can find that confirms the Indian version will be packing the international firmware although like you I presume it. Folks should be aware that India has mandated a spam blocking software on all cell phones sold within the country. It appears it does that but also is a serious piece of spyware which is something to consider when a purchase comes to mind. I suspect this can be easily removed but again no one can prove it until it's done. Meanwhile the Euro version will not have it and is going to be the safest bet when it becomes available.
Some good update from emailing oppo.
After reading the email from the post above I think that now situation is pretty clear.
At the moment ony one hardware model of device is sold (in both india and china). What is different is just the firmware, where for indian market it’s google friendly, with all preinstalled (and i would say european friendly too).
So right now when any online store says that sells global version, it’s just the chinese hardware with indian firmware.
I think that the good news is that hardware is the same! If we found the indian firmware and the flashing tool enabled, we are good!

(bad?) news for those who have changed X01HT ROM to English
softbank has released a new ROM for X01HT. there seem to be some modifications such as bootloader version up. the biggest modifications for those who currently use open softbank connection with flat fee discount are; 1) the current connection will be invalid from 4/1/2007. 2) the new rom will install a new connection for this discount. 3) the password for the new connection is not found yet.
I could have sworn that one of the current Softbank EXT ROMS added the open softbank connection for me from the Imate ROM. Maybe the new EXT ROMS will do the same.

Click to collapse no, you can't do that anymore. i read that the extrom of the new one doesn't have the cab file and the executable did the ap setup for the old rom and it appears the ap setup is hard coded in the new rom itself. they've changed the id/pw and the id seems to be opensoftbank but it will be difficult to crack the pw.
btw, someone has already uploaded this new rom to the hermes uploads ftp. not on ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes yet.
I for one am not really that worried, yet... I've got faith in this forum and it's pool of talented hackers to find away around this misguided attempt at SoftBank to make everyone learn Japanese. Besides, we've got until April 1st before this changeover is mandatory, right?
Their problem is not that they hate English speakers, it's that they offer a flat-rate service for a phone which has its modem capability disabled. If they allowed hacked phones to access their network people would start using them as modems with their bluetooth laptops. That kind of bandwidth is much bigger than the phone would use on its own, and usually very expensive. The lack of English firmware is just lazyness on their part.
personally, i am not optimistic about this change although it does not affect me since i am japanese and read japanese. for non-japanese people, i suppose installing the new japanese rom and english muis would be the only solution to enjoy the flat rate discount for the time being.

I've been slogging through the murky waters of 2ch reading about this update. Here's what is known so far: 1) It's basically a change to a new username and password on the Open Softbank connection. The other things in the new ROM are unlikely to affect people with totally different ROMs on their phones -- stuff like the Softbank in-software SIM-Lock have been fortified. 2) The connection details are no longer in the Extended ROM, so it's no longer just the matter of installing the Softbank EXTROM on top of an English ROM. 3) The new connection details are stored in the file mxipupdate_zzPIED_102.provxml. however the "password" in that file is blank. Since the actual password for the "opensoftbank" user is not in fact blank, some other program must set the password later. This is all third-party info for me, I haven't had a chance to install or play with the new ROM yet...

having a jewish american who speaks, reads and writes japanese as my partner, i don't think i deserve such a name as racist. i do imagine you must have had a hard time in japan and have strong pride about your language capability, but i don't think i owe you either an apology or a consolation. upon your comment, i actually and carefully changed my comment although you thought they were exactly the same. please read them again to find where i changed, and you will see why i changed the part if you still care. since i don't want to keep this thread off the discussion, please send me private messages if you have any further words for me, personally.

While there are quite a few "non-japanese" people who speak and read japanese, the majority of "non-japanese" do not. Personally alot of the forieners in this country are in or associated with the US government / military. I didn't find it offensive and no one except you seem to have taken offense to it. I know you spent alot of time learning the language and such but don't criticize and call the guy names for making a simple mistake. No one considers all the people and their difference in the world when making forum posts. My wife is Japanese and we get things confused alot due to the "lost in translation" factor. To me this just looks like a simple case of that. Lets just keep this forum clean and fun please.

E30HT rom for English
I am stationed in Japan and I have been with AU Kddi for approximately 4yrs now. When I heard the announce that they would finally carry a "smart" phone I was excited. I went in and purchased the E30HT if I am not mistaken it is similar to the HTC Touch Pro in the states. My problem is this: Most of the options are in Japanese. I am not familar enough with the language to take advantage of all the phone's features. Is there a way to convert the OS to English or is it a rom or procedure out to convert the phone to English. I appreciate all help given.
E30ht touch pro I also purchased the AU E30HT, tried every HARD-SPL available here and PPGeeks and still can't break it. Luckly I haven't bricked it yet. Took it to Thailand and even the techs there couldn't flash an english ROM on it. Seems the software hasn't been developed yet. I am waiting and hoping someone with more knowledge than I picks it up to play with. If we could get enough folks together maybe we could contribute enough to entice someone. Never give up.
same problem here yup, i know how you guys feel. my wife got one for me from japan, and have had endless trouble. its such a slick phone but its totally useless for me. here in the phils there's not much that phone techs can't do, but it seems they've met their match in this phone. if you ever come up with something PLEASE let me know.

[Q] Lenovo s6000-H problem
Ladies and gentleman I bought a Lenovo S6000-H in China for a friend of mine at a very good price. The problem is that it is full of Chinese, the Google Play store does want to work and at the moment we are feeling our way through the Lenovo store becuase of the Chinese. Here is my question; Can I download all new firm/software for the tablet in order to look like I bought it from South Africa or the closest region, also hoping that the Play Store will work? It is currently running android 4.22. If yes where can I download it? Thanks!

We don't see a lot of Lenovo phones in the states, but have gotten to play with one a while back. I'm certain that if just change the language to English in the Settings, you should be fine.

I was able to navigate through the Lenovo when it was in Chinese just from the icons in the Settings app. Should be the one with a letter on a computer key.

Can Motorola/Lenovo be trusted?
This may seem like a strange question but I've seen this reply on another thread here: fablebreton said: It's not only chinese companies like lenovo, but do you think chinese communist party is democratic ? If it's currently admited that google work with NSA, don't you think Chinese autorities wouldn't like to use all these smartphone made in china and sold all around the world If you don't trust MS as you said, it would be a little bit naive to trust chineses companies But i'am afraid we have to live with it. when i see the download number of facebook on playstore i think most people don't care anymore about privacy , so why governments or big companies would care to not spy us. Even on xda a lot of people continue to use supersu (closedsource and chinese owned) rather than magisk-phh opensource, most people simply don't care. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/174...lled-on-lenovo-huawei-and-xiaomi-smartphones/ https://eandt.theiet.org/content/ar...a-smartphones-spy-on-users-researchers-found/ lenovo laptops : http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/...use-of-lenovo-computers-over-chinese-spyware/ http://freebeacon.com/national-security/military-warns-chinese-computer-gear-poses-cyber-spy-threat/ http://thehackernews.com/2015/09/lenovo-laptop-virus.html And we don't talk about qualcomm "bug" that could be an usefull backdoor : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...million-android-devices-vulnerable-to-attack/ Click to expand...

Anyway to flash my Mate 10 Pro with USA Software?
Hey everyone! Anyway to flash my mate 10 pro with USA software without having to pay so much money? Thanks!
This thread details a flashing/re-branding process which you can perform without paying. Note that I haven't even read through the thread, let alone done anything mentioned in it, so don't treat this as an endorsement - perform your own due diligence and decide if it's the path you want to take before embarking on it. If you decide to follow this path, the correct region code for the USA appears to be C567 according to this thread. Good luck!
Above poster is correct. Though there is no USA firmware (yet). I'm not even sure what Pro will release with in the US or if it will support WiFi calling (t-mobile and at&t pulled out)
