Hi, a friend of mine recently came from China, where she bought a p20 lite. However, it doesn't have Google apps. Bootloader is locked and afaik you can't reuqeet unlock codes anymore.
Any suggestions to install Google apps?
Thanks!
Ok, found this and worked.

Hi a while ago I've imported a redmi note 3 pro from China to Canada. Everything else is working fine but I've had this for a month already and the updater app tells me that I have no new OTA updates which is rather weird, since we're supposed to get miui updates very often. Do u guys know why it's happening? Is it die to a locked bootloader or the wifi here in Canada doesn't work well with the Chinese servers? By the way I also tried to flash a ROM from the miui website for this device but it didn't work either so please help
What's your firmware version? You might have a reseller firmware, in that case you would have to flash the fastboot rom
Hi everyone:
Here is my situation.
I have a mate 10 6+128G. Device information:
Version: EMUI: 8.0.8
Firmware: ALP-AL00 8.8.8.129 (SP2C00)
Bootloader was unlock, I also root my phone, install TWRP, Magisk ... I also install Google Play, Google Service ..
Everything seems fine until I try to use Google Pay.
I got stuck when trying to register VISA credit card in Google Pay, MasterCard is fine.
I did a lot of search on China Huawei forums, and found China version of firmware got issues when register VISA credit card.
I have consulted my friends who have Mate 10, and they said they don't have such problem.
In my country, Mate 10 firmware version is ALP-L29C636, so I would like to rebrand my Mate 10 to this firmware.
But I still have some doubts regarding rebrand.
1. OEMINFO:
Should I replace my OEMINFO before rebranding ? From some post, seems it's necessary to replace OEMINFO with L29C636 version.
If I replace OEMINFO, will I lost my IMEI ?
2. After rebranding, Bootloader will be locked again. So I should use the same unlock code to unlock my Bootloader ?
3. After rebranding, I still want to root my phone. Can I follow the same method to root my phone after flashing new version of firmware ?
Thanks.

Talk to this guy: https://ministryofsolutions.com/
Its better and safer to spend some small $ and allow someone who is familiar with rebranding to do the job instead of risking and ends up in a brick. He did a rebrand on my Mate 10 from ALP-L09(C109) to ALP-L09(C432) and I can say it it's not so easy (in my opinion) so my recommendation is to contact him.
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.
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?
I live in Brazil and bought a Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G due to it's good price on Aliexpress, on the Mi Official Store. I will receive a open box, because they will reflash the ROM from Poco X3 GT Global Version to it.
I'm afraid about my security in buying a phone that it is previously handled by them. What can I do about it? Is that a legit concern? What is the difference between a reflashed rom and a global version?

This phone only exists in Chinese version and it has flashed the global version of the poco so that you have for example a multi-language version because the original version is only in Chinese or English and without play store.
With the unlocked bootloader you can install custom roms.
There are two security, the bootloader and the Xiaomi account, you only have one left.

Do you think I will have access to Google Services with the Poco Global ROM?

yeap but some services(google pay) and apps will be unavailable due to the unlocked bootloader resulting in an uncertified play store.
