Thank you for your work and helpful info.

Can you also add steps to re-apply a new rom w/o having to wipe data?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
No, ota's or raw roms will have to be loaded/flashed manually each time they are released...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] BamaBoy91:
ok, but did i mean i will always find them in the forum?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Are you now on WW rom with WW fingerprint? If so, download the latest raw 1910.44 rom and run Flashall_AFT.cmd, no data will be lost by doing this :)

Get it here

I want to revert back to CN.....currently on 1910.44...BL locked..... Fingerprint changed to ww...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] blueblur:
Hi all. I got my Tencent 128gb/8gb ASUS I001DA ROG Phone 2 from eBay which came with WW rom but CN fingerprint. It looks like I have 1908.12_0 version but the entire string is different from what I've seen the root for 1908.12. The software version says WW_16.0640.1908.12_0. Can I still root using the 1908.12 img I have seen in this thread?

The version I've seen for root seems to be ww_16.0631.1908.12_0.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] blueblur:
To answer my own question, I followed the guide here and I now have WW for software and fingerprint.

Just a little question, Can I modify or debloat system partition and

then relock the bootloader to have all safetynet tests passe ???
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
If you want to retain root you must keep bootloader unlocked. If you don't require root then yes, you can flash stock boot image and re - lock bootloader.

However, I have bootloader unlocked and am rooted and I still pass SafetyNet tests, so I'm not sure that being unlocked is the problem...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] xhanty:
Hello everyone. Today I got my rog 2 tencent edition (which came from the U.K. with a friend to Turkey). It seems the seller converted my phone into ww 1908.12-0 firmware but my fingerprint is still cn (widevine is L1 atm if that matters). Now these are what I want to end up with; ww fingerprint, root access, latest updated firmware, and maybe twrp too. There are many guides here i know but i dont know which order to follow (first unlockbootloader, or first update, then finger or then what etc.)

Can someone guide me what to do from where i am (1908.12ww, cn fingerprint), which guides should i follow in what order? Thanks in advance and need help asap.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Yes, you can still use that thread. Just be sure to follow every step until number 8 (if you don't want root kept then follow the additional steps). In steps 1 and 2 (don't miss step 0, you'll need to unlock bootloader) you'll be updating your rom version to 1910.35, so the following steps involving flashing the corresponding root boot img will be fine

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Download 1910.64 full update zip and move it to root of storage. Reboot and update. That'll put you on latest A9. Then, if you want latest A10. Download 2004.9 full zip and repeat the process. That'll put you on latest version to date. If that update fails you'll need to download each small incremental update after 1910.64 and update each one until you reach 2004.9

Flashing WW ROM on CN ROM

The Rog Phone purchased in China has fewer LTE frequency bands than the International Version.

I would like to know if, on a phone of this origin, the flash of the RAW Signing is made, according to the XDA procedure also completed with the conversion of the Fingerprint, all the LTE frequencies of the International Model will be activated.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
No, the extra bands are hardware related, not software
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] vittoriomartucci:
Flashing WW ROM on CN ROM

Thanks for the prompt and illuminating clarification.

Actually I thought that since the hardware was the same, the activation of the LTE frequency bands was only a software problem and therefore a Firmware problem.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Lamesbware:
Im so confused and lost

i bought this phone new and wondered why i never got ota updates. i think its weird that i have to mod my phone in order to get updates. i havent rooted or modded phones for 8 years and things have changed since then. shame on asus. i want android 10 dammit. i have way too many bugs.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] xxBrun0xx:

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Swooshpragler:
Can those who did this confirm to me that VoLTE is active upon changing fingerprint? Since CN Rom has VoLTE but WW Rom with CN fingerprint seemingly doesn't (unless I'm misinformed).

I need VoLTE pretty badly.. so if this fingerprint change does the trick, I'll apply it first thing. Otherwise, it's CN Rom.

P.S. Thanks OP for this! The hero we needed

One minor thing (hopefully). When I finished modifying the 'Country' file, I unwittingly modified the Country.bak file to WW as well....not realizing it was the auto-generated backup file. Once I was done editing the bak file it disappeared from view. Will this have any adverse effect on anything?

As for OTA, there can't be any successful reports on OTA updates if Asus doesn't release the updates (unless don't know of a new WW update?), so we'll just have to wait to find out.

You have to manually download the update and move it to the internal storage folder.

Then restart the phone and you'll see the update and be able to install it (which is basically the same as OTA, just without the restart).

Just updated.
