Oppo Reno PCAM00 Android Q beta upgrade test / Downgrade back to CollorOS FAILL!!! - OPPO Reno Questions & Answers

Hey Guys just wanted to share my bad experience with my Oppo Reno model: PCAM00
soo... I got this Chinese version a few days back and wanted to flash global rom on it.... why? Well many reasons. First off all I hate seeing Chinese letters mixed with latin (even do I chose english as preferred language... some system apps are still in Chinese, and the main reason is I cant use google apps as system app. As so I'm not able to use google voice assistant in background ( which i use the most as I em reallyš lazy). Only when I enter app it's available.
Having in mind that there is still no root for this device i wanted to test Android Q beta, and this is where nightmare starts.
Upgrading to Android Q beta was not such a problem. Simply putting phone in recovery mode and upgrading just in few minutes.
Most of stuff works well. Even Fingerprint sensor (witch i heard is not working well in And.10). Only thing not working is camera. Every time i try to use it, phone freezes, and I have to reset it with vol.Up+power button (only power button wont work).
So after Testing it a while, i wanted to revert back to ColorOS (android Pie with Color0S), and I followed post of Official Reno site, and this is where i stuck!
After downgrade.. i got page for choosing language, after wifi connection an after that i get page where it says: Please Activate Phone...This phone has bean locked with find my phone, please enter passcode for (my user name for oppo, my phone number)... and when I enter my passcode, it says something on Chinese, i tried to picture translate it and it says something about server error! And I cant pass that page. I em desperate! If anyone of you brainiacs know how to help me... please do so... Other wise I will have to wait official Android Q (10) version for oppo reno.
Also if you have any questions about android Q beta, I'm here for you.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Dear,
Just asking how did you flash the Firmware?; as i am trying to flash the stock FW using MSM Download v3 & v4.0.58 Nd both didn’t work... and telling me that i have to use a different updated version of the MSM Download tool.
It would be great to support, please

i didn't flash it with msm d.tool... that thing is not working without acount. i upgrade it.. with USB memorystick throo recoveri mode. If msm would work or someone knows way to use it without account... i woul flash eu firmware version.

Hi atijasa, can you share your test version of Q beta with me? Because now I can't get the PCAM00 Q BETA version that I can downgrade to P by myself from the official website, thanks so much!

Buying a Chinese version or wait for Global version? (how difficult to DIY?)

Hi everyone,
Apologies for my noob question, I'm a former Windows Phone user who is going to buy his second Android phone (upgrading from the A1).
When I buy the MI 8 right now, it's going to be the Chinese version (with English language support). Is it officially supported to "upgrade" the ROM to the international version when it becomes available? It's ok if I would need to reset the phone (lose all data/apps etc.) But my concern is that it will be a "hack" with no official support for updates later on.
Also, is it difficult to do that upgrade? (I'm a developer, so I have a tech background but I've never juggled with Android ROMs since my A1 came with the international ROM)
Thanks!!

Hi guys, sorry if my english is bad, but i need some help with mi phone... i buy an asus rog phone 2 tencent edition but the device come with WW Rom and i want update this, the device come with 1910.35, i see in app drm info and the app say i have fingerprint WW or at least I think so, how i can update mi device?, sorry if the question is silly but all i know about phones I learned from you jeje
If the question does not apply here please move to the indicated site.
If is tencent version, you bought the chinese version with full convertion.
First, you can download the update using the asus website
asus. com/us/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_Download/
Second - After download, just put the update on main internal storage. After that you can just reboot your phone, and after that the update will appears.
i see the pag and asus have two updates more after update .35 the Version WW-16.0631.1910.44 and Version WW-16.0631.1910.64 , i need update first .44 or i can update with .64 now? in some pages i see something about change the name of the zip i need do this? or i can update as you say

Realme x2 pro versión rmx1931_global_G.15 actualizar

I have version RNX1931_GLOBAL_G.15 and when I try to install the new version c.23 or c.26 for recovery it says failed and it puts me down on my software version 2.1 (rooted).
Could my phone be rooted but blocked to install updates?
same problem and need solution
Same issue here. I am on c24, trying to update to c27 and after going through the whole update cycle, when it boots up it gives me a notification saying "Update failed". No good idea why that would be...
Realme x2 pro
I just bought the Realme X2 pro and can see that the software version is RMX1931_Global_G.15. To be clear, I bought this phone from a Chinese shop via eBay. But I was hoping someone could help.
After googling this, this software version doesn't exist on any pages and I'm unable to update to realme UI via the Realme Europe or India page.
Anyone know how I can install the latest firmware?
I bet that this is a CN version of realme x2 pro that flashed to a modified global version with msmdownloadtool(Realme flash tool). If this is the case maybe you can try to unlock the bootloder with realme In-depth test app and try to flash a global/cn version through twrp recovery. I do not know if it is possible to unlock the bootloder with this firmware, I really think that there is very little chanace that you will be able to update it at all. This situation is happening because realme does not protact their flash tool good enough and sellers can crack this flash tool or obtain realme account to flash weird firmware.Realme does not release a flash tool. There is good reasons not to release it as sellers can flash wierd things before shipping device to cutomers but it open a opportunity to pepole to crack and offer it as a unbrick/flashing firmwere service for money and that what is happening right now .

I bought it from China as well. I had the same. OS previously. And I was easily able to update using the CN version of android 10. However do note it will install some. Chinese apps and some other issues related to Chinese version of x2 pro. Best would be if you can dump this rom and share with a Dev, maybe they are able to develop a global version of roms based on this. Unfortunately for me as I was too much excited I updated to RUI instantly before backing up this RoM.

How to Downgrade to UI 1.0 or Flash Stock Rom

Hello all,
I have Realme X50 5G RMX2051.
Unfortunately I upgraded to UI 2.0 and now I cannot use the Android Auto.
So I want to downgrade, but here is no official file.
Could you please help me with a solution?
How can I return to stock ROM, or change to EU ROM?
Thank you!

Hello, I cannot answer this question. If you tell me where to look I can tell you. Do you know how I can change the ROM to the global one? Or maybe to downgrade manually, because Realme does not have a file for downgrade of this model.
Hi, I got RMX2051 for a while, and still find ways to change the ROM version to EU.
But unfortunetely, Realme locks everything on this phone, I think that's the reason why there's almost no resources here.
By the way, if you just wanna use Android Auto, maybe you'd install it through APK file.

Would you mind to post the screen shot or connect condition here ?
It may help to find out the problem.
Attached is the screen
I found Realme X50 5G (Realme UI 1.0) stock ROM here.
But, it shown in Chinese Simplified...
And here is the tutorial from OPPO ColorOS community. (It's the same Recovery with Realme.)
I'd did a downgrade UI procedure once few months ago, but failed, because the Recovery is going to check the version of Realme UI, whether it was older than installed.
Anyway, if you'd decide to do this, please do a completely backup of your data first.
May this help you, and good luck !
