So I have ordered my Pocophone F1 a few days ago and found that you can install google camera on it, but the most updated one needs a certain ROM version or higher to be able to use it, so I went searching on xiaomi forums and found that, that specific rom version Global Stable ROM V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI i'snt released in my country Kindly Note- This update V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI not released to SOUTH KOREA & PORTUGUESE so this is where my questions surge...
Is there any way that this update shows up OTA, like per example, if I change my region, will it make the update show on the ota update app?
If not, can I flash it and will I still get OTA updates ?
Why is the ROM not released in my region ?
And can me getting this ROM on my phone affect anything ? Like data connection, language or apps ?
Thank you!

Like the title say is it better chinese firmware for future updates, hearing about LeEco problems in the US and India. I have a Le Max 2 had the sellers firmware on it the one without the system update. I was able to install the Indian one 5.8.19S. The way I see this only the chinese firmware is up to 5.9 and have a better chance to get Nougat. Thanks.
You don't have chance to get Nougat from the stock firmware either India or Chinese stock.
you should stick on whatever stock firmware you already have, or lineage OS for the latest android with buggies
no I flashed tablets and smartphones for ages but now I wont to stick with stock firmware. I read that LeEco are working on Nougat updates but I thing the chinese will possibly have it or if not I will update to the chinese the 5.9.2xS. thanks

1. No, unless u install recovery and root. ( I don't see any point here as LeEco is almost dead). also u can come back to Indian anytime u wish.
2. Yes, same as Indian but without Google apps though you can install manually.

Hi Guys,
I owned my Oppo Find X some months ago. Through a webshop in switzerland.
It was titled as Oppo Find X 128GB Global. I payed like 200$ more for that global version.
As I unpacked it, I saw that there was a transparent case inside, just like in the Chinese Versions. According to my information, i thought the global version has no case supplied.
And also the american standard of the charger was inside and a little adapter for europe.
I started the phone and saw the casual Google setup, same like every other Android. Everything was working, Google Assistant, Google Play so I didn't thought about global or not. There were just 2 chinese Apps installed (some Social Network), I deleted them.
Some days later I noticed, that I'm not receiving Notifications from all apps. So I wanted to add some apps more for background activity (as I had read the global version should support 9 apps at once) but after 5 it told me with a message that there could only be set 5 apps.
I started reading more threads about it and saw that there is an CPH1871EX version (europe?) which should be the global version and mine looks like to be the taiwan version. I was also stuck on ColorOS v5.1 and there was no update shown on v5.2 until yesterday where I used a VPN to connect to taiwan, then I received the v5.2.
So my question, have I been fooled? Did I got an chinese Version with installed google apps?
Do I have now to connect to taiwan, everytime I want to check for an OS update?
Is there a way to switch to EX, does it even matter?
What does the A.12 on the end mean, and why didn't I got directly the A29(which is the newest I think)
Oh and a total different question, do we know if every Find X will get ColorOS 6, or just chinese?
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi. I have CPH1875, when we will have Pie?
I do think you got the global version but it was specific to Taiwan for some reason. I have the Australian version and it came with a case so I don't think that's an issue. I also have the 5 startup app limit. CPH1875EX.

Hey everyone. I'm a proud new owner of a Realme 6. I bought it as being a global version (model RMX2001) 4/128GB.
I updated but found out that the firmware version was RMX2001_11.B.33. I think it must be a Russian Version even though I bought it through a spanish online retailer, since the box comes in russian.
I checked and there was a version for the Indian Region (RMX2001_11.B.37)with the same changelog as the one for the European Region (RMX2001_11.B.34). I downloaded the firmware for the European Region (RMX2001_11.B.34) and updated through the recovery mode.
Can someone explain to me what are the consequences of doing such a thing since I updated a RMX2001 model with a RMX2001EU model? Also, does this mean that from now on I'll get the OTA updates for the RMX2001EU model, European Region or only the ones for the RMX2001 model, whatever region I got?
Any other input regarding this subject is deeply appreciated. I'm curious more than anything. Thanks!
my phone is also a eu model, and didnt get the latest update to.
what i did is realme.com india region/market and find the o.zip RMX2001_11.B.37 and installed
everything working just fine for me. so i think all those phones are just the same..

I got my phone from amazon spain. I live in switzerland.
The latest OTA was B.30 for me. I downloaded B.37 from Realme Site and also updated via recovery.
Everything works however.
The hardware is definitely the same in all phones. But somethings still different. Some phones are able to unlock bootloader (india models I think) while EU models cant.

I definitely updated my Global Version with the EU Firmware. And in the settings I have the RMX2001_11.B.34 Version (which is actually the same as the RMX2001_11.B.37 according to the changelog, but not the size). I prefer the EU version since it may have less bloatware and ads due to the European restrictions. Also, I live in Portugal so I think it's better to use the EU version, unless a more recent version is available.

That's the strange part. It seems all roms are interchangeable, but then, what are the differences? Actually, how can one know what is their region? I say mine must be from Russia due to the text in the box and it also had a russian app installed. I updated with the EU rom and the model still is RMX2001 (not RMX2001EU), but the version is RMX2001_11.B.34. So I used a RMX2001EU_11.B.34 rom and it updated to the RMX2001_11.B.34 (missing the EU part). Furthermore, all package names and MD5 checksum are the same, when compared. Therefore, I actually think it is all the same and one can use any rom to update.

I didnt even realize that I downloaded the "non EU" rom from the india site. I honestly dont know if I had an EU rom when I first booted up my phone. I dont remember seeing EU in the OTA settings. However the latest OTA for me was the b.30, which is why I updated to b.37 manually because i thought higher number = latest update
Yeah its very weird. I only know that there is a global and an india version of the phone. We definitely have the global one or else we would have trouble with the 4g signal (or at least me here in switzerland)
EDIT: I think im a little confused now. I think you mean you had the RMX2001EU_11.A.34 (with the A)
There is A and B. Probably A for global and B for india
on 4pda forum some members mention that RU firmware supports "call recording", in all other roms(incl. EU) thats restricted due legal laws

You're right. I updated with the RMX2001EU_11.A.34 firmware version. Actually, I must have updated to the RMX2001_11.B.33 via OTA and then by updating with the RMX2001EU_11.B.34, I ended up with the build number RMX2001_11.A.34. At least that's what shows up.
I honestly think we can use whichever we want that any will work. I'll stick to the EU versions.

So supposedly, you downgraded... This is definitely weird! ahah As long as nothing is bricked, it's fine. At least we know that we can update with any version.
Also, on a separate note, does anyone know how to check volte and vowifi? Or enable it?

Well, both versions are supposed to bring the very same updates. I'd rather wanted to be on EU version too, even if its just for the file name and nothing else lol. My phone probably shipped with the A version and I mistakenly updated it to B
if you look at the changelog it is the same for both versions

Hi. I want to buy a realme 6 in Spain but I need to record calls. The EU version does not allow to record calls, but the Indian Rom does include call recording. I have read that you installed the Indian version, can you see if you have the option to record calls?
To change rom is just install? There is no need to open bootloader, right? Can the Indian Rom be used in any country? I want to use in Spain
Thank you very much.

But I think it is only necessary to change the EU rom to a RU or Indian Rom. Do I need to unlock bootloader just to switch to a Rom from another country? It's strange...

Could you answer me if this version with Russian box has the Brazilian Portuguese language?
How can I change the ROM?
It's my first time here, and much of this is new to me.
Anyways, I have an S21 (Snapdragon) with Multi-CSC? OYN, XAA/XAA/XAA that I use in Singapore. (SM-G991U)
I just learnt that apparently OTA updates are only given after the location of where the device is being used corresponds with the CSC.
What would my options be now, to update my phone? (Being able to have OTA updates would be preferable)
I know of (just learnt):
• Changing CSC via the phone app (using IMEI number). Never tried and I don't know if I'll get an error code. My main concern is that I'll not be able to update if I get firmware for Exynos instead (S21s in Singapore are Exynos), if I even get a Singaporean CSC on there.
• Flashing/ updating using Odin? (Heard it doesn't work anymore for changing CSC? I have One UI 3.1)
• Updating using ADB?
I'd love to learn something about this whole CSC mess too so I can understand what's happening and how everything works. And if it's not possible to get OTA updates, the best way to update my phone then. Thanks

Hi Mate
OTA are strictly Active CSC related , independent of the country you are using the phone. I have Spanish active CSC and i get the OTA in Panama
So you will get a new OTA as soon as available , the latest for you CSC (XAA) firmware is:
Date
Version
2021-06-27
11
PDA
CSC
G991U1UEU4AUF5
G991U1OYM4AUF5

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s21/firmware/SM-G991U1/XAA/download/G991U1UEU4AUF5/1557396/
You can change the CSC but it will depend in what firmware you have and what CSC available that firmware has.
To your questions
1 You will not get an Exynos firmware in your phone as you can not force an exynos CSC into an Snapdragon , Singapore does not have Snapdragon firmware , so you can not force a Singapore CSC into your phone
2 Flashing new firmware does not change the CSC anymore ( in my case did not)
3 Update with ADB ? not sure what you mean but if you mean firmware , no is not possible

Thanks for the reply. Problem is, I've constantly checked for updates but I'm still stuck on the February patch which should actually have even came preinstalled on the phone. (basically, I've not received a single OTA update). This has led me to believe that the country you use your phone in affects receiving OTA updates.
I doubt there's other reasons why I wouldn't receive the updates (since other people have said that location/ connecting to the telco network? affects OTA updates).
Anyways, so to clarify, my only options to update then would be to use:
• Smart Switch (holding off because it is disabled from an app having device ownership)
• ADB (sideloading OTA update)
• Odin (unfamiliar with its uses)
I'm just looking for the path of least resistance to get my phone updated right now. And just to confirm, updating/ flashing (are they the same?) software will not wipe my phone?
Thanks.

Hi
Is hard to say what really going on , as i said I have an active CSC from one country and live in another and get the OTA with no problem ( lot of people do)
Easiest option for me would be doing updates manually with odin , download the correct firmware and flash using the home-csc file , that way the phone will not be wipe , will be like a regular OTA
Check this threads , here and here even if the thread talks about an exynos the procedure is still valid for a snapdragon
I still dont get OTAs. I flahed BTU, PHE and OXD but nothing. anyone else facing this?
I flahed with odin.
Hello. I've been reading posts since February that people are getting updates to android 12 and MIUI 13 on Mi 11 Lite 5G. On my phone, ever since I bought it, I have version 12.5.5. This is marked as "MIUI Global Stable" RKIEUXM, and the latest security update is since 2021-08-01, which seems odd, it's not an old phone, it should get regular updates.
In some posts it was mentioned that I should change region from current one (Poland) to a Switzerland, Japan or India to get the update, but that didn't work.
I don't want to root my device and update via fastboot nor recovery, since I don't want to lose warranty.
Is there any way I can get an update to my phone, or my region (or something else) is locking me from it and I still need to wait?
Edit:Found solution in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mi-11-lite-5g-cant-update.4418983/
