Hello, i am wondering where to buy this phone, because in the official redmagic website costs 479 but i found one on tradingshenzen for 417.
The only "but" is that the one on tradingshenzhen is the chinese phone with a global rom, while the other one is officially for Europe.
Is the European rom different from global rom? I don't know if i should take it for less being chinese or just grab it from their website.
Thanks in advance!

There's the Chinese rom, and then there's the NA/EU Global rom.

How do you differentiate the Chinese ROM and Global ROM (NA/EU)?
I ordered one from their website when it first launched and I am located at SEA, specifically Singapore. My red magic 3 build number is NX629J_ENCommon_V2.10
So tell me, how do you know which NA/EU unit that I have based on that build number ?
Thank you
Hey So I just Bought One From Ebay And it came with global rom ( thts what the seller told me) . can you guys confirm if i have a global rom or i have to install myself? Sorry for my English
.. anybody?
Hi, you have the global ROM but CN fingerprint. Your ROM update will not happens unless you also change the fingerprint to WW. There's guide in this forum on how you can change the fingerprint to WW to match the ROM
Any tencent version with ww ROM is not official by Asus and therefore Asus will void the warranty since the device has been opened and reflashed with non official ROM. Asus recommends you to return item to seller asap if you want a official device.

Hey yup i just followed a YouTube video and changed the fingerprint.. thanks
I have the tencent version with 512gb and WW fingerprint but I downloaded the latest update from asus (UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-17.0210.2001.60-1.1.97-user.zip) and renamed it to update.zip and put it on the root directory and rebooted and it asked me about the system update I say yes and I get an error, so I tried ADB sideload in recovery and i get this error terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc
can anyone help me install this update?
Hi, first off there's 2 versions on ASUS website, CN & WW. Ensure you downloaded WW & try to flash it without changing the name , in root folder , restart device.
Same issue
I've the same problem. Tencent version with WW fingerprint and failed to install the update when moved to root folder. But I didn't try to sideload it though, not sure if we should?
My current build no: PKQ1.190414.001.WW_Phone-16.0631.1910.35-0

Okay well 1 more thing you can try.
Try to update to beta 7 first and then update directly to beta 10 which is infact the latest Android 10 build, this should work 100%
Saying that, I wouldn't recommend Android 10. It's terrible with battery life, lowers the output sound of the speakers, has issues with 3rd party launchers and makes the phone overheat

Well after hearing all these issues I'll stick with Android 9 for now, thanks anyway
The problem to why update fails is because your tencent version is using WW ROM that is not official one for the tencent version. Tencent version is Chinese version and should be using CN ROM. So update is failing because of device is not meant for WW ROM and secondly you got wrong fingerprint version probably WW when it must also be CN or that it's CN now aswell.
All tencent rog phone 2 with WW ROM is not official device and has been modified by seller, before it was repacked. Asus do not sell tencent version officially with WW ROM, only with CN ROM. So your device has mostlikely no warranty aswell since bootloader is mostlikely unlocked aswell which voids the warranty by seller for reflashing from CN ROM to WW ROM.

I don't know I guess it's just some made up thing they want you to buy. Which is probably not worth it at all.

However, latest A10 11 update is looking good. Though you still need to update to latest A9 before A10

You must likely need to change fingerprint to WW to match ww rom. You can check if its CN fingerprint using device info hw from playstore. Follow one of the guides here on xda to change
Hi everybody, yesterday finally I got my rog 2. I bought the same 12gb tencent with WW rom installed from seller. I updated it to Android 9 build .64, my question is, after i read this forum, so officially Android 10 is not out yet for the rog2? I read about all this builds, this means that they still are in a test stage right? If so I'll wait for a stable release before update...Thanks
Got 1910.64 with root installed.

You should return your device asap since your device is not official by Asus. Asus do not make tencent version with WW ROM!
Also Android 10 is out for Rog phone 2.

Thanks for your opinion...Of course I choose liberally to buy this phone. I also knew it was a CN version with WW rom, buying this phone version I saved 200$ so you can understand why...best regards
