I have an X829 device with stock room and Other countries and regions. The question is, what happen if I change to India, Russia or China region? Will I lost frequency bands? Will it be possible to update? I won't be able to use it in Spanish? I tried to change it but it says that I must reboot the device
I have a rooted device
Thanks!

Nothing much. Mostly it affects things like whether it displays °C or °F etc. China region allows you to access some LeEco services (wallpaper, music etc) and puts some Chinese stuff in the stock calendar. US region shows all notification icons instead of the three dot roll-up. It won't affect bands. Don't think you need to worry about updates as there are highly unlikely to be any.

So, I have a korean variant of the sgs2, and I'm wondering two things:
First, if I were to change my CSC to, say, one from the UK, or in the US, would things like the Download Mode change to english? or would they stay in Korean. Also, would my default language after a fresh install switch to the default for the country of the new CSC?
Second, how do I add a code if it's not listed? When I looked up the CSCs for the US the only ones that I found were AWS, CLW, DOB, TMB, and none of them are listed on my device.
Last, I'm still in Korea, so if I were to switch my CSC to one from the states, does that mean I would have to set up my APN every time I flash a new ROM? Or would this be handled by the SIM card?
Thanks for all your help everyone, the XDA forums have been ridiculously helpful for me switching to the sgs2 from the Droid X (especially considering I'm stuck overseas until this time next year)...

CSC is nothing to do with language .
Also, would my default language after a fresh install switch to the default for the country of the new CSC?

CSC is only a list of local networks settings and is not required if you manually enter APN

Hello there!
I bought a Huawei Honor 5x from an Australian website (I'm currently living in NZ). When I got my phone, I noticed the box/instructions were in chinese. When I turn the phone on, it was the same thing. I tried to change the language but there were some sections like logs from update and some menus they were in chinese. I tried to change the firmware but it didnt work (probably because my model is KIW-TL00 and I downloaded a different firmware). Now, a stupid question: there is a way to change the model of the phone to be able to install a US firmware? and if it's not possible, there is a way to change the firmware to a english version?
Thanks in advance!

Can you run the script that is located here and post your results
I have the same problem and question. I bought one of these and it turned out to be the Chinese version. Even after changing the Android language to english there are still many chinese messsages. Any advice how to load a different firmware, or at least change all the Huawei messages to english? Thanks.
Hello,
i use the software XperiFirm to download firmwares for my Z5C.
I live in Austria but there are only three providers in the list from Austria.
I have a phone without any branding and i don't know which one i should use because i am not a user of any of this providers.
Is it possible to use for example the T-Mobile firmware even if i don't have a T-Mobile Sim Card?
And is it also possible to use a Firmware from another country?
Best regards
Zillinda

there might be problem with sim card if you flash USA roms cause they more restriction & ...
but other than that you flash any official firmware with same android version.
:good:
Normally you can use any version for E5823.
The difference between the austrian roms are that providers pack some of their apps into the rom( like "a1 apps" or "mein a1" for example. If you want a rom without provider apps you can use the customized de version for germamy for example.
However you could of course run into a little problem by using a rom from another country that i had myself.
From what you said, i assume you are neither using a1, t-mobile nor drei as your provider. All of the other providers in austria like bob, hot or upc are using the network infrastructure of one of the those 3 big providers by national roaming.
However his could result in you to have allow roaming all the time to use mobile data. Could cause costs if you live near the boarder or if you forget to turn of when you leave country.
I had this problem with the customized de firmware for germany with which i got my device. My provider "Ge org" wasn't recognized correctly. After flashing the A1 firmware( Ge org is using A1 network) all works properly.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
My provider is HoT and it's using the infrastructure of T-Mobile. When i flash the T-Mobile Firmware do i still get the OTA updates and what about the warranty?

I also believe this should be the best choice for you.
If you stay unrooted you should have no problems with OTA updates. Warranty should be afaik no problem if you don't unlock your bootloader, which is not needed to install another stock rom. However i don't know for sure, cause i don't care much about warranty since i repair hardware issues on my devices by myself

Do i have to reset my phone before flashing? I currently have a firmware without branding and i want to flash the one with the T-Mobile branding.
Is it possible to flash it without a reset?

That's up to you.
A dirty flash should run and work properly. But a dirty flash (especially when your data and apps is the same as when you where using Android 6.0) can result in unexpected behavior:
- Crashing apps
- Wakelocks
- Battery drain
...
So it's always better to do a clean install when you upgrade to android 7.0
If you don't care about the possibility of instable behaviour or battery inefficiency, then a dirty flash (keeping your data/apps) will be much easier/faster.
How does one change region? It can only be found via searching in the MIUI search box but then it's locked to China.
The reason i want to change region is because of the low headphone volume that apparently can be fixed by changing region(s).
I also had that problem (with Mi6 and Band3) and AFAIK you cannot or need a rooted phone.. Look here: http://en.miui.com/thread-1469560-1-1.html
BUT: On my mi6 i set it to "OTHERS" because Austria was not available. When I logged into my Pad4 it set it to AUSTRIA (automatically) and when I looked at my Mi6 after it, it also changed to Austria (from OTHERS/OVERSEAS).. So maybe it can auto-change?

The link you're referring to is for Global roms only. I'm on the official CN-version.
On this ROM the region is locked to China and cannot be changed at all.
You cannot change it in global either.. Therefore you NEED the mod.
But you could be right, that the mod does not work on CN edition.

U mean the region code is locked? Even on global ROM?
There isn't Global Rom for Mi Pad 4/4+.
You may have "Fake Global".
On China & MiuiEu roms region can be changed by edting build.prop.

As dzidexx said, there is no global. All "globals" are fake..
And I was talking about the region of your MI/Xiaomi-Account. Not from the phone itself.
Hi,
I bought a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G off ebay which was advertised as the Global model but it appears i have the Japanese Global model instead (M2101K9R) whereas the actual Global model is M2101K9G. Would anyone know if it is possible for me to convert this over to the proper RKIMIXM Global ROM (M2101K9G) and keep my bootloader locked in the process by just flashing the fastboot ROM for Global? In other words i would like to fully convert it across to the global M2101K9G model.
i have read that flashing a Global ROM on a device for a different region can brick the phone if the bootloader is then relocked after flashing the Global ROM but wasn't sure if this was more in reference to going from the Chinese version of phone to Global rather then my situation which is going from Global Japan ROM to Global ROM.
I understand I can do this if I kept the bootloader unlocked after the flash but was hoping the bootloader would accept the Global ROM and would still work after relocking the bootloader.
Thanks in advance.
Seeing that i have my Mi account binded to my phone, i will wait another 90 hrs to be able to unlock bootloader and will attempt to answer my own question. Atleast when i relock bootloader after flashing the global ROM and worse case scenario it fails i can unlock the bootloader again and reflash the original Japanese Global MIUI for the device
dont risk your device and instead use "xiaomi eu", that way you can upgrade your device without the risk of locking the bootloader in the process

Hey, since you have the Japanese model, is the camera shutter sound always on? Even if you pick a different region for MIUI? I'm considering the Japanese model and am also curious if it would be possible to convert to Global, though like you said there's a risk of bricking so don't do it if that's a real concern. If you do try it though, let us know how it goes.
Good news, after unlocking my bootloader after 7 day waiting period i was able to successfully flash MIUI Global RKIMIXM ROM. Also relocked bootloader with Xiaomi Flash tool and the bootloader had no issues accepting global ROM.
it should be noted there's been alot of misinformation regarding unlocking/locking bootloaders and changing regions. As long as the first unlocking of bootloader was performed by your own MI account binded to the phone then after 7 day waiting period is over you can unlock/relock bootloader as often as you want immediately with no additional waiting period required. So if you have the issue where you're stuck in recovery after flashing another region ROM and accidentally relocked your bootloader in the process, it's no big deal as you just load phone into fastboot mode and unlock the bootloader again then either keep bootloader unlocked and flash whatever you want or download the proper ROM for your region then flash and relock bootloader again to be back to official stock.
Only thing is model appears to still be detected as M2101K9R in settings. Unsure if this will affect future OTA updates etc. Will provide update when i know more.

It can be muted by setting.(Any ROM/Version/Model)
Setting → Additional Settings → 'Region'
Japan or Korea = Always On
Other = Can be changed from camera settings

I ended up flashing back to Japanese ROM as realistically i had no issues with it. Was more curious to see if i could fully convert it over to Global ROM but it seems the model number as shown in Settings is hard coded perhaps in the bootloader or somewhere else and still displayed M2101K9R so i wasn't comfortable using the M2101K9G global ROM.
As for the camera shutter sound on Japanese ROM i just checked and there was a setting in the camera app itself (Camera>Settings>Shutter Sound) and you can toggle it off to silence the shutter sound.
Please, did you notice any difference between the Global ROM and the Japanese ROM? I mean in terms of settings, speed, battery etc.

I am a Japanese user using Mi 11 Lite 5G. The difference in hardware is that it is equipped with Felica, a near-range wireless communication standard developed by Sony. This is used in Japan for payments on public transportation and in stores. The difference in the software is that it takes a long time for software updates to be delivered. As the ROM is optimized for Japan, it takes longer to receive updates than the global version.
I also have japanese version but I am from México and I am using xiaomi.eu beacuse of the publicity from xiaomi stock roms, and it works flawless and felica is not used in my country so, I am fine, but... One friend of mine has the chinese global version and the cameras look sooo diferent, better in Jaoan version, even video 60fps has more stabilization. Just to say.
