[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ktmom:
I think what the OP originally said is accurate. The device in question is a Google enterprise managed device. The IMEI is in a business database and is preventing the device from being reset. It would also prevent bootloader unlocking since that would allow the managed device be bypassed.

If this was a company's phone, then it needs to be unlocked from their managed server before it can be reset.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] shah khes:
I'm planning to upgrade my phone to a newer model. I will choose either Note 10 plus or Iphone 11 Pro. Note 10 Plus design is much better than Iphone but I heard a lot about Iphon's security and privacy. Is Note 10 Pluse really less secure than Iphone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
No
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] terpi74:
Nope... at all.

It can be less secure only if install something without thinking etc... It's like with computers... there's only one not secure element ... end user ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
iOS gives you better privacy protections and security out of the box, despite comments to the contrary noted above. First, Apple is more aggressively focused on preventing data sharing and gives you a lot more granular control over what is shared and when. Second, Apple controls the whole OS and exerts a lot more control over the apps in its app store. You are far less likely to encounter malware on iOS than Android. Also, end users cannot sideload apps on iOS while it is easy to do so on Android. Objectively, while Android has come a long way since it's early days, it's still a mess, is inconsistently patched and not particularly well maintained by different vendors, Samsung included. You can be certain that security patches will get spotty with Samsung after 1+ years of ownership, while Apple will keep updating the iPhone 11 Pro for at least 4-5 years.

This is the truth so base your decision accordingly. I own both devices, for the record. Keep in mind also where you're asking this question. This is XDA and you're asking it in the Note 10+ subforum. You're not very likely to get an objective answer here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NEMES|S:
I am sure the Note 10 Pluse is way less secure than the original Note 10 Plus. Never buy fake/counterfeit items. Buy original, not imitation. (specially imitations that don't even get the name correctly) In other words, get the Note 10 Plus or the IPhone 11 Pro and stay away from the Note 10 Pluse.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blueglide:
I've had both and its true Apple exerts a great deal of control over their software and hardware. In my opinion, too much control. As an intelligent adult I don't particularly like the locked down approach that Apple uses. I prefer to make my own decisions about what and how I use my phone. There are plenty of ways to keep your data and phone secure with Android if you are responsible and use them. If you need your hand held and want it done for you go with Apple. If you like freedom go with Android. I even feel Android is too restrictive now when I remember the early days and all the modding you could do if you chose to.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] HomerSp:
Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Tencent edition of the ROG Phone 2, and was a bit annoyed to see that automatic system updates no longer worked after converting it to a WW ROM. I did some digging and found out that ASUS uses the IMEI of the device to track what updates the device is entitled to, including the region. So a CN IMEI would only be entitled to CN firmware updates.

That's what led me to write this app that interacts directly with the ASUS servers to look for updates, but using a spoofed IMEI that makes the server think it's WW. It was a bit of work to figure out how it all works, but I have managed it, and it seems to work as it should - I successfully upgraded from .44 to .64 just a short while ago using the app.

v1.0:

- Initial release

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KVh8OmgMxMg-jQfpF2LmIW4cqBDKXtyz/view?usp=sharing

Instructions

The app is very basic, but it does what it should. It will check for updates every hour, and send you a notification if it has found an update - or you can force a check by opening the app and pressing the button.

Once the update is downloaded (the updater will notify you when it's done), you will need to restart the device, and upon booting again you will be notified by the system that a system update has been found and be asked if you want to apply it or not.

That's really it, the system will handle the updating from there.

Note 1:

You need to be on completely stock firmware for the update to apply properly. The bootloader can be unlocked, but you can't be rooted or such.

Note 2:

For the updater to work correctly you'll have to allow it to auto-start by going to System settings -> Battery -> PowerMaster -> Auto-start manager and make sure ASUS updater is ticked. Not doing this means you will have to run the app once each boot for notification to work correctly.

Note 3:

If the update fails (after rebooting and starting the update), I will need a log to be able to figure out what's wrong. The relevant tag is UpdateLauncher.

AsusUpdater - Github

Do let me know if it's working for you, or if you can think of any improvements I can make.

I'm on WW_ZS660KL-16.0622.1906.19-0, was never able to update this phone that I imported from China to EU, and your tool doesn't find new updates available to install either. Could it be that I'm on ww firmware but cn fingerprint? (seller's doing, not mine). I'm 100% on stock everything (meaning, I haven't tinkered with the software one bit). Would appreciate some clarification, thank you.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] HomerSp:
As it turns out, the CN fingerprint does affect it; I didn't think it would, but one of the props that the app uses to send to the server actually changes based on the fingerprint.

I've fixed it, so please try this, and let me know if it works:

[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] Juraviel:
It found and downloaded this time, but the update process itself fails, I tried twice. May be because my version is too old? It's the same if I download the update file manually and put it on root, phone detects it after reboot but unable to flash the update.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] avivv:
Just change the fingerprint to WW, having a WW rom with CN fingerprint will cause more issues.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] HomerSp:
A log would say what's wrong, most likely one of the partitions isn't completely stock - they probably botched something when they flashed the WW ROM on it. Feel free to send me a log and I can have a look.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] Juraviel:
I can't 'just change it' without rooting the phone, unless there's a way in unaware of. I was planning to do that once android q releases. Otherwise, it's just too much hassle with currently available untested methods.

How do I do that [MENTION=2266182]HomerSp[/MENTION]
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] avivv:
Sure you can, it's easy just follow this guide, no need to root or to wipe and it takes 5 minutes

https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/asus-rog2-cn-phone-flash-ww-root-t4008229
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] HomerSp:
I would indeed recommend changing the fingerprint to WW as having a CN fingerprint causes a whole bunch of issues, although that most likely won't fix your upgrade issue. The EDL method is really easy, and can be done in a couple of minutes - and does not require rooting.

As for the log, have you used adb and such? I just need a logcat. There are plenty of guides on how to do that, so I won't go into that here.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] Juraviel:
You were right it was fairly easy, although the original tutorial should have a warning that entering in edl mode causes the screen to go black and the phone completely unresponsive! Other than that it went smooth. You did an amazing job.

Edit: well, actually, it still fails ;) I'll keep at it

[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] HomerSp:
If you get this again I would need a logcat to be able to help you. The update dialog you see on reboot isn't from my app, but it's a system app that I have no control over - so there's no way of telling what's causing it to fail, except for a log.

Thanks so much for this app, I was thinking I would just need to apply the updates manually as they came out. It doesn't seem to be downloading the update when I tap the button though, my data usage stays in the KB/s range or lower. Anything I might be doing wrong?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] HomerSp:
Are you on mobile data? I have it set to only download over wifi, but I can change this if you want. It will display a new notification when it's actually downloading the update.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] NineSlicesOfEmu:
I am indeed. I prefer it because it's unlimited and faster than my current wifi. But good to know! I'll switch to wifi for the download. Having that option in the UI would be a nice addition I think.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Well, the download worked (about 10 times because I was silly and spammed the button) but the update itself failed, there wasn't even an attempt. Must be an incompatibility with my device fingerprint or some similar thing. I'm using the latest version of the app you posted.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] HomerSp:
Try clearing the app data of Asus Updater and test it again. Something may have broken.

I'll add the option of downloading over mobile data to a future update!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Themes, Apps, and Mods] NineSlicesOfEmu:
Success! I ended up having to uninstall the app and delete the zip file it had downloaded, then start from scratch, but it worked in the end. Thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing this app become more and more robust through updates.
