I have purchased this device from Wonda Mobile.
The customer service person has told me the original phone model is a Chinese NE2210. It will be flashed with NE2213 or NE2215 depending on region (I am from the UK so most likely NE2213?).
I was also told that the bootloader will be locked, payment app will work and the device will continue to receive updates.
My question, are the above true as far as you are aware?
Is it possible to flash a different region and leave the bootloader locked?
If it is possible to have the bootloader locked, I assume payments apps will work then?
Will the device continue to receive OTA updates if changed from NE2210 to NE2213 or NE2215?
Any possible issues I should be aware of?
I purchased the same device, originally NE2210, it was unpacked and flashed to NE2215 by the seller. The bootloader is locked, updates work normally, everything works great...
Thanks dzontra83. I used to be good at these things in the the golden days of modding our OnePlus phones and installing custom ROMS.
I read somewhere that you had to unlock your bootloader to change from NE2210 to NE2213 or NE2215. This is why I was a bit confused as to how the bootloader will come locked.
Feeling a bit more reassured that you have the same device with OxygenOS flashed.
Can I ask what region you are from as you have NE2215. I am led to believe NE2213 is for Europe?

My advice would be to get the NE2213 and avoid the chinese variants.
Sooner or later you'll hit a snag..
More to the point, I wouldn't buy this phone if I knew then what I know now.

I have not and would not buy a device out of region.. Reason being is because there are quite a few things that could go wrong..
Main one is warranty, and for what? So you can save a few pennies, that's a penny wise and pound foolish decision.
What will happen when OnePlus "fix" your device if it goes wrong? You'll end up back on the Chinese firmware.
Are the basebands the same? Will it work when 13 is released? Is preformance the same?
Each to their own, but i just wouldn't risk saving a small amount of money for the potential problems they may arise.
Look at the threads created by poor souls who attempted to save money.

It is L1, i havent tried Netflix yet, but most certanly it is, since it is L1.
I'm considering doing exactly this. I want a 512GB phone and the only option is the CN white panda. Can't do it otherwise. Was hoping for the 10T to offer 512GB but it ended up not (also is a downgrade in many areas)

Received delivery, transferring everything (apps + data) over from the current phone.
It was flashed to NE2215, not sure if this is correct for UK.
Hopefully it will receive OTA update. It came with Feb 22 security patch. It is updating to Jun 22 security patch.
Phone looks great though.

I thought I'll make this thread for the Australian Mate 20 Pro Owners.
As we may all know already, Optus and other ozzy telcos are extremely slow with releasing there updates for our devices, it's very frustrating as we have to wait for important updates and fixes.
In this thread I'll love to hear from other Australians and there opinions on this matter. Also to discuss firmwares that have been flashed from other regions on our devices etc
All topics about our devices are all welcome
I have the L29. Currently with Telstra (Prepaid)
My last OTA update was 168 which I received around the end of December.
I recently unlocked my bootloader and updated to 182 following a guide in these forums
I also rooted my device using the same guide.
I don't really have too much to say on the speed of our updates, as I've only had my Mate 20 Pro since the 28th of Dec. It's my first android phone and I'm loving it so far. I've been wanting to get away from Apple for years, but the jailbreaking scene kept me with them. Now that the scene is almost dead I decided it was time.
So now I'm getting my head around rooting.
LYA-L29 here.. C636 SPCSEAS region on mine.
Have done the fh 171 update.. Now on unlocked bootloader and rooted 182. Tried the custom 182 rom but no joy with magisk in hiding safety net stuff for Google pay.. However with the stock 182 I was able to hide the safety net checks with magisk help.
What might be of interest to people to is I've been able to downgrade back to 171 and relock bootloader which previously was said could not happen. Back on 182 though now.
Currently running an L29 bought from eBay AU but originated in the UK as far as I can tell (based on the charger mains plug)
Latest version It'll update to is .168, it started off at .109 and has done 2 updates in the 2 days I have had it.
I've ordered a BL code and will look at rooting once I have it, there seem to be 2 different guides in this forum at the moment. Still working out which way to go. One of the methods definitely involves rebooting into recovery every time in order to get root, not sure if the other method does as well.
I find the 182 firmware to be a great one, I have noticed more of a battery drain on this one but nothing to really worry about.
I find it awesome that the hwota method works and we are now able to flash the same or higher firmwares with pretty much ease now. To be honest everytime I fiddled with my phone before the hwota method came out I would stuff something up then use funky Huawei to bring it back to life lol that was beginning to be an expensive venture haha.
This device shows alot of promise, I am currently using magisk and have used modules to pass safety net. Also used titanium backup to remove some system apps I never use. I froze Huawei home and now use nova launcher and used the Google framework module to install the Google phone and contacts app which I find much better. I am happy to say I now have the device exactly where I want it to be. I have also added a 64gb Huawei nano memory card to my device, as it may be expensive I thought why not. Now all my photos get saved to memory card

The patched_boot.img method is what I'm using basically when the phone reboots it automatically boots up the patched_boot and goes straight into the os, you don't even notice it which is great

Basically grab the recovery_ramdisk IMG and use that in magisk to get a patched_boot.img that would be the best way but in the guide it's got all the info you need there.

LYA-L09 from Optus here still on .122, with .146 due end of this month. Optus update schedule is a joke. As soon as FH .182 is safety net approved, I'm doing it. Don't really want to pay the $70 to unlock bootloader but will likely do that too eventually.
Yes Optus is a joke. Hopefully they start working on .171 which is supposed to have a unlock bootloader although I am sure optus will modify it to stay locked.
Sent from my HUAWEI LYA-L09 using XDA Labs
Optus are still stuffing everyone around with not yet releasing an almost 2 months old firmware. All they can do is give you a recorded message.
They certainly are the most pathetic telecommunications company.
Sent from my HUAWEI LYA-L09 using XDA Labs
It seems to have come to light that optus won't be supplying firmware updates, 2 reasons were mentioned today
1 is that huawei have not issued a software licence and will not provide optus with firmware.
2 is that optus have abandoned huawei firmware updates because of the huawei 5G and US ban with regards to spying.
All the times optus have mentioned testing firmware for the mate 20 Pro has been lies, it now is apparent that they were never testing anything.
This matter via being addressed by me in writing to both Huawei and optus, if they fail to respond or provide a firmware update solution. Consumer Affairs Victoria will be filing a complaint against them con VCAT Court.

They are not testing .183 they are supposed to be working on .188 but at this point optus don't have a software licence from Huawei, and huawei are refusing to release the firmware until they get a licence approved.
This could be months or not even happen at all
They also have never been testing any firmware because huawei have never released any to them for testing as to date.
Here is the message I received from Optus last week.
Hey Darren,
This is what I recieved internally from our Tech devs,
For Australian carriers, Huawei will release MR every 2 months. They do not know the release details until about 1 month before the release. They have skipped .146 and .183 because they did not meet Optus requirements. We are going to get .188 for testing which is the later version than .183. The only way for the customer to get .183 is to buy an open market handset.
So we're all still on .122 ?
I want to say "un ****ing believable" but it's really not.
It's simply not good enough

Does it bring one of the following features :

If none of the features is included, no point in updating.

Just received my US version ROG 2 and I would like to root. But my kernel build number doesn’t match with the WW or CN kernals. Should I just wait?
Where did you get it from?
Phones like the Pixel 3 which can be sold from a carrier (like Verizon or T-Mobile), will usually have the bootloader permanently locked on the carrier-sold models. This is so the carrier does not have to endure additional RMAs due to people messing up their rooted phones. But since the Rog Phone II is not sold by any carriers, I would think that the Bootloader unlock tool they have already published would be made available for the US version as well. They might speed things up if you can find a way to get in touch with US support and point it out. The Asus online chat is very awful though seems to be entirely overseas staff reading from scripts with no autonomy. At least with Google Pixel there's some US-based call centers. If anyone finds a direct line of communication with the US team I'd be interested to see it.

Like other user said it will say tencent on the back if it's tencent version. If you got tencent, then go into settings --> System --> About Phone and look at software I formation if text there starts with WW_ then yours has got worldwide firmware. When it's supposed have Chinese version.
So most likely you bought a modified tencent version and that device has no warranty and FOTA does not work and Asus are stating any tencent version with WW firmware is not official device. Asus do not manufacture a tencent version with WW firmware. So you should either contact your reseller and request a refund and ship the item back and buy a proper tencent version with Chinese firmware or non tencent version.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/guide-convert-cn-to-ww-rom-26-08-t3961042
same issue in 2020
I am experiencing same problem however is a bit different situation. I checked and both of the roms is WW but Google Pay still not working
PLEASE Please Help!!!!
I'm on Android 10 beta
Firmware is the latest.
The betas so far don't pass Google Plays "SafetyNet" so you're out of luck for the moment on 10
Hi, I wonder if it's possible to convert Hong Kong variant of S20 FE 5G (SM-G7810) to European version (SM-G781B). What I have to do?
Please help me!
it is impossible to do
I am interested too, since I bought a SM-G780 model, which will be delivered to me in the next few days and I would like to carry out the same operation, I have already downloaded the Italian CSC ITV firmware SM-G781B; through Odin, can it be done? The phones have the same features, same processor, change the RAM which in the SM-G780 is 8GB, while in the SM-G781B it is 6GB. Thanks.

I also follow, I'm in Italy, in 15 days I'll get the:
SM-G7810 S20 FE 5G 8GB/128GB.
Have you discovered or tried how to put SM-G781B Firmware?
This information will also be useful for other people who will find themselves in our situation in other countries!

do not give people false hope, this method will not work.
I can say that it will work 100%
Voice HD+ (EVS full band 128kbit/s) you only need to correct the configuration a little.
And flash G7810 to G781B - not possible!

I still have to receive the smartphone, I found the difference between the G7810 and G781global on this forum.
So what are the substantial differences then? And is it possible to put a Firmware / Global Rom while keeping the original phone, that is, without root and with OTAs?

I don't understand what you are trying to say.
First you pasted some screenshot without showing second one for global version (for which rom is it?)
Once you say it will work then you say it won't
As to WiFi calling I am using it all the time at home with Chinese version.

Hello, I ask you for more precise information if you can give it to me, since you have this variant!
What are the substantial differences between the G7810 and G781B versions, and the problems with the HK version?

Perfect. While the Google PlayStore, and other services work? There are no problems or report at the software level I mean!
Because for my country Italy, the frequencies of use of the G7810 are fine! So I was more interested in removal or software related problems!
Thanks a lot for the answer
its not posibil to do that and you dont need to do it you will get the update later in february.
Today arrived my 7810. As I need to be avle to use phone-recording I always did the CSC-trick trouwgh the THL-roms on S8, S9, S10 etc.
Therefore I am curious if there is a way to make phone recording work native as described above, or through app as ACR-call recorder on THY ( Hongkong-ROM).
For hardware the difference between 781B ( Global) & 7810 (Hongkong & China) is 6 GB vs 8GB.
That's probably why people think it is possible to flash other ROM into 7810 .

First have you forgotten the fack this is an international forum, where english isnt for a lot of people tghier first language. And secondly being insulting helps no one.
If you can a technical reason as to why the OP can't just flash a G781B stock rom to his G7810 device, that would more productive. Will it for example just not work and soft-brick his device requiring flashing back to G7810 firmware etc..?

Are you sure the OP has an 8GB version, checking the following website shows the spec are identical -

Ofcourse I'm not sure about HIS, but MINE is also a 7810 Hong Kong version with 8 GB.
ALL European sold S20 FE 5G are 6 GB.
So what are the software differences within the sm-g7810 and the sm-g781B because i want to buy this phone too.

I would check GSMarena to start with.
As I do not have a 781B, I have no idea about the differences.
Runing a Chinese ROM for now because of native call recorder.
Works fine in the Netherlands.

I'm thinking of buying the hongkong version from Canada. The process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting will be easier in this version right? Will the custom ROMs be compatible with the 8 GB hongkong version?
Otherwise I will go with the Canadian version.
