[General Questions and Answers] Cobrahaze:
Hi guys I need help, my dad has a [SAMSUNG S4 GT-19505] and I wanted to know how I can add a new

language pack to the phone as my dad can only read and speak 'URDU'. The language is not available when

I try to change the language from the language settings menu. How do I add a new language pack?

Will I have to root the phone and install an official ROM from a certain region?

Help would really be appreciated. :confused: :)

Thanks

Cobra

Try this video

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-amMqk51Zlk

Or

The I-9505 is an international device, find a firmware for I9505 that will work with the networks for your region or carrier(the bands may be different for different regions/carriers) and has the language that you need.

Then flash that firmware via Odin

Oppo/OnePlus rip us off in EU, so we need to pay about 200€ more than China (no price drop for us) and get half of the storage and less RAM.

My question is (I never did this before): When I get the chinese variant of the OnePlus 7 aka GM1900 and flash over stock recovery from GM57 to GM57BA, it will still stay a GM1900 and not change to GM1903 (EU model number) but

1. Widevine L1 or L3?

2. VoLTE/Wifi-Calling?

3. Google Play Certification?

Don't get me wrong but with shipping, tax, a second charger, a KFZ charger and a second dash cable + double storage I will safe over 100€ :D

Did somebody try it or maybe flash to Global Version (India)?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] engrmudassar:
google certificate is there even in hydrogen os ...
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] MarylandCookie:
This also crossed my mind too...

I’d be interested in the responses.

What would the warranty be like?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Linuxkek:
[MENTION=9673529]engrmudassar[/MENTION]

I didn't know that you got Google Play on Hydrogen OS :D

[MENTION=2574528]MarylandCookie[/MENTION]

When you get it on shops like Tradinshenzen, you get warranty, if you get it on shops like Banggood oder Gearbest, you just get the device.

The big problem here is you need to pay about 15€ shipping on Tradingshenzen and PayPal +3%, so it's about 491€ at the end. On Banggood you can now pre-order for 446€ with shipping and tax.

I think I will get mine over eBay, can pay with PayPal and will safe +150€. Something get broken and it's still under 150€ to fix it, it's still a win.

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] engrmudassar:
just install the google play apk on Hydrogen os and it shows that devices is certified unlike xiaomi phones ... i guess its something to do with the pre install google play services in hydrogen os
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] joebens:
GooglePlay service has already been put in Hydrogen os，but you can't find any google app on the launcher screen. You need to creat a google account so that the google services will be available. Then you can install any google apps as your wish.:)
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] moneytoo:
I got myself OnePlus 7 from China because of the red color ;) Phone is reflashed with Oxygen OS and OTA works.

1. Widevine L1 or L3?

Widevine L1 is supported. Netflix runs - looks like the regular cap at 720p.

2. VoLTE/Wifi-Calling?

It's not officially supported with my carrier but I successfully enabled it after sideloading newer version of oemlogkit I was able to enable it. (And verified it works).

3. Google Play Certification?

Yep, no problem. I also used Google Pay (via NFC) when paying.

Installed that but still don't get the option [emoji849]
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] white43:
I've bought one from TradingShezhen (GM1900). It was significantly cheaper - £420 for the 8gb/256GB in Red (£549 in UK). I bought a second hand dash charger from Ebay. (Note, need to use the red cable that comes with the OP7 - or dash charging doesn't work using older dash charging cables)

They installed the global rom(AA) and out of the box, I had VoLTE/VoWifi working with Three UK. Options exist in SIM settings.

I decided I wanted to use the EU Rom(BA), so cross flashed straight away. This was easy, just downloaded the latest OP7 Rom from Oneplus - dumped it into the root of internal storage and did a local upgrade.

Google Play all working fine.

The model number does not change - it stays GM1900 and still gets OTA.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] samitro:
What about LTE frequencies? Thx
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] fr0d0#2:
Did VoLTE/VoWifi still work after you flashed BA?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] white43:
Yes. Didn't have to do anything. Working by default. That could be as I'm using Three UK who now have a deal with OP.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] fr0d0#2:
Thanks

I'm with Three UK too. Waiting for phone to arrive
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] pycxe-01:
What is the difference between Global rom(AA) & EU rom(BA)? Why did you switch to EU rom(BA)?

Nevermind for I have found the answer:

EU ROM comes with slightly less preinstalled apps as well as search app & browser selection.

There is no way to downgrade to a older version without unlocking the bootloader and manually flashing via fastboot or TWRP.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] moneytoo:
I have Global ROM and I like that I don't see the annoying high volume popup over and over. Isn't it a case with EU ROM?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] pycxe-01:
Isn't it enough to disable/ignore the high volume popup just once? Personally I really liked the high volume warning, yet once you go over the recommended levels you'd never see the same high volume popup again! :P
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Linuxkek:
After flashing BA firmware you need to wipe. Wipe over recovery or its the same when I wipe in the settings?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] ryupunk:
I have a QM1900 that came with OOS 9.5.5 GM57AA (updated to 9.5.6 using the system updater), after doing some research I found out that you can flash GM57AA or GM57BA firmwares over the GM1900 model without any issues. So today I went ahead an update from OOS 9.5.6 GM57AA to 9.5.7 GM57BA, everything worked fine and I didn't even need to wipe.

I'm rooted so I needed to follow a few steps to achieve that:

1 - boot to TWRP and flash the full OTA for OOS 9.5.7 GM57BA

2- don't restart and flash TWRP (to keep TWRP as recovery)

3- reboot to recovery

4- flash magisk (to keep root)

5- reboot to system

6- profit?

Hope this helps!
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] praefectum:
Hi!

I'm also looking to grab a GM1900 from Gearbest because of the color (red, and also because it's cheaper...) and live in Europe.

Did you experience any particular issue (starting from connectivity, bands and network, but also apps and other services)?

Thank you very much!
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] :
You could also do this...

1. Install OTA with updater and DON'T reboot!

2. Flash TWRP with magisk

3. Install magisk to inactive slot

4. Reboot system

5. Profit

It's faster and you have the same result.

So far I know some guys here on Germany bought from GearBest and they said, they haven't issues.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] pycxe-01:
Why buy from GearBest when you can get GM1900 on AliExpress cheaper? Some sellers even take care of customs duty & VAT for you! :p
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] :
I would say it's safer to buy from GearBest and there was a very good deal there with coupon.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] kodrnusa:
I bought my oneplus 7 model gm1900 from Gearbest and I live in Europe. I flashed european rom 9.5.7 gm57ba. After that bootloadet unlock, root and instaled no limits xxx magisk modul and smurf kernel. No problems at all. Fastest phone till now... I bought 2 onepluses allready from gearbest (oneplus 6 and 7) because you can pay with paypal so you are insured.. Also if you choose priority lane shipping you do not need to pay any tax and customs. I waited 3 weeks to come and payed 430€ for 256/8gb model..
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Fellouss:
Hi guys,

Trying to do my homework here before buying a op7.

I plan to buy one on Aliexpress (with global rom).

First, I would like to thank you for your future answers.

Does the phone I will receive will be rooted?

Or they just flash to global rom without root?

What is the differences between a Chinese phone with global rom VS one sell directly to Europe by oneplus?

Does the phone will have OTA updates?

Many thanks guys! You keep this forum very interesting!!
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] :
1. You can switch between China and global rom without root so I guess the device won't be rooted.

2. The only difference is the warranty part and the color and ah yeah the charger.

3. OTA will work.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Fellouss:
Many many thanks for your quick and detailed answer
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] rnormore:
I am about to order a OnePlus 7 from Aliexpress with the global rom already flashed. Is there anything I should be worried about that maybe also be installed from the seller or something I can do to be sure the rom that is installed is 100% safe to use?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] pycxe-01:
Hey there! I have done exactly what you were just thinking to do:

I have bought my OP7 from AliExpress & a seller who promised to handle EU taxes/VAT for me. Order delivery took only 10-11 days by DHL, although for 7-8 of those I wasn't able to track it.

No, the device comes without root. You would have to root using Magisk 19.3 & latest TWRP recovery found on XDA-forums.

Yes, they just flash Global AA ROM without root & the phone comes in an open box i.e. without plastic cover sealing.

There are NO differences between GM1900 (Global) & GM1903 (Europe) models, not even in band frequencies used! At least I wasn't able to find any hardware differences between the two models while I have researched the topic.

That being said, you are getting a Chinese plug + EU adapter is generally provided by your seller. But, I would suggest getting a proper OnePlus EU charger instead just to be safe.

Yes, you're able to receive OTA updates right away.

Hope that answers your questions! :p

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

Just flash the latest OTA update & do Factory Reset before setting up your device. That way you can be 100% certain that nothing extra would be installed on your phone!

Besides, if you unlock bootloader your phone memory would be wiped clean. Next you'd install Magisk & unlock the true potential of OnePlus 7 GM1900 device! :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luk164:
Hello, I have an older tablet that has a busted charging circuit. The way I get around that is that I connected wires directly to battery and I charge it externally.

The problem is that android can not detect this charging and I have to keep rebooting it to update the percentage. Android will not allow percentage to rise while not charging (for obvious reasons), even though it can detect rise in voltage.

I need something that would either keep resetting battery percentage without rebooting or change the algorhytm so the percentage is purely voltage based.

Thank you in advance for any tips for how to do this.

P.S.: The tablet is running a rooted kitkat, also I really do not care that this is "potentially dangerous".
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mirzaarslaan:
Hello guys. I accidentally wiped out my xiaomi mi 5 including the internal storage from TWRP . Whenever I try to connect phone to PC through fast boot mode , device redirects to TWRP .

Also , another issue I'm encountering is that my device, despite using numerous USB c cables , doesn't get recognized by my PC, I've even tried a different system still the same issue .

Therefore , with the PC not detecting my phone , and no USB otg being detected by TWRP ,I'm not able to copy rom into internal storage and hence I'm doomed and helpless . I've tried everything I could , adb fastboot miflash , but no solution for me.

It will be so nice of any of you to guide me and help me with this situation . Thank you :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] sunilromy:
Try to connect it on different PC ? Unistall all drivers and see if PC detects it in fastboot mode ? Maybe see if charging port is damaged ? Sometimes data pins has some issues.

If nothing works, you need to open up your phone and short boot point, which will make it go in Qualcomm 9001 mode, I am not sure which mode is in mi5, could be edl. You can find videos on YouTube, and 4pda mi5 forum has details guide, but it's Russian you need to use Google translate.

The thing is whenever I connect the phone to my computer , it isn't recognized. It doesn't show up on device manager and first and foremost, it doesn't make the *ping* sound whenever a new device is connected.

So I'm not sure whether mitool will work although I'll give it a try .

I've already tried adb with nice cables (samsung). Since my problem is that it doesn't get detected , so adb is already no use :(

I wanted to install a new rom , and without taking a backup I wiped out everything before even copying the rom .

5 you have adb and in the same folder unpacked the recovery.

Is it necessary to enable test mode , my PC is not allowing test mode to be enabled.

without test mode you can not install xiaomi tools2 therefore no correct drivers

However , I dont have the cable yet it's not available here at my place , so its gonna take like 10 days to come .

download the folder and place it in d:

click the window icon in the bottom left and write cmd

it will show you the commant prompt .right click on it and run as admin

now type d: and press enter

cd 555 and press enter

connect the phone and by pressing volume down and power try to enter fastboot mode

copy paste the folowing line

fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter

it should take a few seconds ,3 to 5.after that copy paste...

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter

if the flashing of the 2 files works after that im sure you can flash the phone with MiFlash

If it is stuck and says waiting for device then try

adb reboot bootloader and press enter and try again the 2 lines above

and let me know how it goes.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mirzaarslaan:
I tried this. After I enter fastboot mode and type the first command (fastboot flash boot boot.img) it shows waiting for any device , and stays like that until the phone boots up on its own to the MI logo and goes back to charging . Whenever I enter fastboot mode , it stays there for like 15-20 seconds and reboots back to the bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] eddieim3000:
hold volume down as well
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mirzaarslaan:
Still says waiting for any device. After pressing volume down button continuously , it reboots for a few seconds but stays on fastboot mode. I even rebooted bootloader through the recovery (it still works but it isn't official , its from zcx) but it still shows waiting for any device.

I tried adb reboot bootloader through cmd , but it shows error: no devices found.

Do you think its not working because of lack of drivers ? Please mention the drivers I need to install. Or maybe its because I'm on a laptop when a PC is required for this work?

did you manage to go into the zcx recovery ???
