Yes, promos related to country of CSC (Hong Kong in my case) - see the attached screenshot.

I have SM-9860 imported from Hong Kong (via Wondamobile).

All works great, only Hong Kong related ads in the app instead of your local ads and it doesn't allow to use UK transport card, only Smart Octopus (HK travel card) but this is only to touch in in transport without turning on the phone - you can still touch in and pay in public transport by swapping to Samsung Pay in lock screen and authorising the payment via biometrics.

I added my UK bank card and a few store cards and they all work flawlessly.

This csc is annoying because the phone will have updates at the same time as China and I read that the updates are really later than in France

ok i see :) it's not a big problem for adds if it's just in samsung pay , i saw a lot that website ( wondamobile ) on forums, it's seems more serious than sellers on rakuten, i'm just a little bit scare about warranty
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mcd6288:
I've unlocked the boot loader, that was working fine and booting normally.

got a boot image and flashed it, now I boot to Qualcomm crashdump mode with the text:

dm-verity device corrupted Force Dump

kernel_restart

I can get back to the fastboot screen, where I've tried several methods of restoring my device.

I've since been back here to xda, and gotten both gm21AA and gm21ba folders from androidfilehost and neither one works with the flash-all.bat or extracting the images and flashing them manually via instructions from another thread https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424

Almost! Im happy to see the phone's doing something now. I can get into TWRP, but after I do the sideload it boots back to the Qualcomm dump screen.

edit: I also seem to be unable to boot into EDL.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] harpin14789:
Go to Twrp and wipe internal storage that should allow you to boot, you got a corrupted data that's why you have this
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mcd6288:
I've tried wiping everything I can, I can't wipe the usb storage but I'm assuming that's what the TWRP boot image is using so it won't let me do that xD. nothing changed I still boot to the qualcomm crash dump screen.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] harpin14789:
Try to switch to other slot and then wipe internal then yes. This happened to me a couple months back because I had corrupted data, you can't get rid of the crashdump till you wipe userdata. Twrp is on boot partition which is okay that's why you're able to get into Twrp.

Let me go and check my history and see what exactly I did to recover. I didn't have to use EDL and Qcm tool to recover.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] synet:
Bit of a vague question, I know!!

Yesterday, I tried to register a pay as you go sim card to my TyTN II, but the automated registration process would not accept my IMEI number. After several failed attempts, I had to get hold of another phone, and register using that IMEI number. However, when I compared the 2 IMEI numbers afterwards, my TyTN one had an extra 2 digits. So I checked it against the original box, which also has a different IMEI number, as the phone had been replaced under warranty, but that also had 2 less numbers than my actual phone.

Now I'm not really sure what I have done to my phone, but everything I have done came from here. I haven't touched it for about 3 or 4 months, as I was happy with the way it was. It was a UK Orange TyTn II, which I unlocked, hardspl'ed and upgraded to wm6.1, all from here. I think I used something from olipro, and the rom was a stock voda one, and not one of the cooked ones. I seem to remember reading that maybe the unlocking, or the hardspl'ing could do this? What, if anything, can I do about this now? I'd like to change it back if possible? Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
The sticker under your battery will have a 15 digit IMEI number. If you check your IMEI in Windows by doing *#06#, you will see a 17 digit IMEI number. As long as the first 15 numbers match the sticker under the battery, then you're fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] synet:
Thanks. Panic over? I think?

Yes, the imei number behind the battery matches what is displayed by the phone, except the phone adds 01 onto the end? Is this normal?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mbarvian:
as long as the first fifteen numbers match ;)

IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is not something easy to change

ur first 15 characters matches - so u r fine
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bronx:
... and just for the reference:

back in the days, when I still had my hermes, I've managed somehow to wipe it's imei through flashing roms. don't ask me how it is possible, but when I went to settings/system/device information/hardware the imei field was blank.

never had a chance to test it, but I believe that it may be the cause of my further problems with it. that device was constantly connecting for like up to 5 sec. to the network, then out of a sudden connection was dropped for some time. dunno. other thing is, that it radio could be faulty after a drop.

whatever....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Twistedme:
imei # changes after providers customization?

I noticed after using a direct from factory (htc repair center) phone that if you stop the mobile providers freeware bloatware from running that my imei # did not match my sticker (was 17 not 15 digits long) so I ran a search found this thread. like the original poster we were both concerned with not having matching imei's, I didnt want to send my phone back to htc. I panicked and posted before reading the entire thread. I was not and am not interested in hacking my IMEI was just worried that it shipped out wrong.

I didnt want to delete my post afterward so instead pointed out that Im a putz and that Notatreofan answered the original posters concerns as well as my own.

thanks again for leaving these old threads around they do help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ach2:
Yes, changing IMEI numbers is possible - but mostly only necessary for low life thieving scum - also illegal in most countries.

No one on this forum will tell you how to do it - pursuing the question will probably get you banned - pursuing the solution might also get you jailed.

Hi there, I hope someone can help me, I just bought a rog phone 2 from eBay, the phone is excellent but I have an issue with it, everything works fine , but I if turn the screen off with the power button it immediately turn the screen on again, I noticed an app running that says asus live demo, and there's no way to stop it, I looked forward for it an I found a code that's spouse to stop and uninstall the app, but it says invalid code, I also noticed that the app shows offline, so maybe that's why it doesn't accept the code.

If I root the phone, do you thing that using titanium back up I could freeze the app, can someone give some directions.

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] GLOWRIOUS:
I just bought Red Magic 5g about a week ago, And I'm ****in sick of the ads. Ads after you unlock the phone everytime. Ads while you are playing. Wtf Nubia. This **** wasn't in any reviews. Nubia added it afterwards.

**** YOU NUBIA.

How do I remove it?

1. Will a new rom help?

2. Or do I have to sell, boycott Nubia and spread hate against them for the rest of my life.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] raumyasarkar:
-_- nubia didn't do anything. Check your phone for adwares. Probably. Installed some modded cracked app and. Ad ware came. With it.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] samussamus1:
Where did you buy the phone from?

This isn't normal and the seller has probably infected your device with adware/malware.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] GLOWRIOUS:
I bought mine through Amazon. internal plastic packaging over the phone had some scratch. I didn't think anything of it. But now I see your point. Anyway I installed an antivirus and this problem is solved!! Thank you for your input.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] Patrick Morgan:
you must have gotten it through some reseller that added ads and probably spyware to your phone, if it was not you through some cracked application.

your only way to fix it.

grab the NA or the EU rom depending on your location. flash that through settings / system update (three dots) local update, choose the rom you downloaded and flash. - you will lose all data and your phone will be reset.

NOTE :: disable your pin on the phone before you flash or it will ask foryour pin or get stuck waiting for a phantom pin input after you flash.

After you have a clean rom installed and you've setup your phone. Go and change EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR PASSWORDS FOR THINGS YOU"VE USED ON THE PHONE. whoever added the adware and possbly spyware wil lhavea copy of your current data.

the Antivirus program may have cleared most of the ads you see. but if a spyware application was already on your system it means it already installed os level code that eill copy and transmit your data to someone else. antivirus software wont change that, as it would think its the correct process of the phone to "send analytical data" - even if that data is small parts of everything on your phone, including your encryption keys, passwords, and physical data like photos.

doing a full reset of the phone with a new rom flash will format all the user space and system partitions. after you can setup the phone again and reset all your pins and passwords to something else.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] raumyasarkar:
Three words.

Antivirus is bad

Next few more words

You already had the correct answer flash with NA or EU rom and reset / factory reset the phone. Should solve the issue. I would suggest using edl flash to get guaranteed result, but I do believe it's risky for you.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
I think it's called Displex scratch remover or similar - try it out it will fill the hairline scratch and make it invisible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] OnePointOh:
Are you sure this will work? Displex melts a bit of the acrylic plastic on most screens so that it fills up the scratches. Last I heard, the Diamond's screen is glass.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Nuri58:
If its the screen I'd be carefull applying anything as you risk the display becomes blurred (same reasons thet don't remove scratches on glasses). If it's made of glass maybe consult a car repair shop reparing wind screens. Let's hear what you find out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
The outer layer is not glass. It's the layer underneath the digitizer that is glass. Have you noticed that you can indent the screen when you touch it, say, with the stylus? That should prove it for you.

As far as the displex goes I personally haven't tried it as I use a screen protector (which on a side note I have ruined today as my stylus has developed a sharpness that has scratched the crap out of it). So the idea is to replace it when it's gone bad with a new one. If you've scratched the actual outer surface then you could look at replacing it (I'm not sure how you'll go about doing that) or you could try the displex.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] JayZee2:
Attention: use only on non-coated surfaces and plastics; when used on mobile phones, treat only the transparent portions of the display lens. Not for use with touch screen displays.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Black93300ZX:
Uh-oh... Haha I think I recommended Displex to someone before... I've seen people use it on GPS displays and it worked fine, even with touch screen... But if they say no, don't risk it.

is the outher screen a seprrate part to the glass section of the screen ??

does anyone know where i can have it replaced in the uk?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] 2004mark:
If your going to replace it then I'd have a go at polishing it first and see what happens. What you got to loose.

I once used a bit of Brasso on the screen of my car headunit, got the scratches out a treat.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Nuri58:
If you're going to have a new screen anyway I'd first experiment with some of the various proucts discussed. If it works you save the repair, if not then no harm done as you'l get a new dispaly (at the cost of a new TD likely).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] silkw0rm:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] htcfanboi:
this may sound stupid but it is stuff that works

take a piece of microfiber cloth

a banana

toothpaste

and any glass cleaner

1st take a small piece of banana and rub it on the screen for about 3 minutes and take your microfiber cloth and whipe it off... (do not use water) and do not use paper towel or toilet paper!!!!(it will ruin the screen

now flip your microfiber to the clean side and set it down...

take your tooth paste (white colgate is the best) and rub it over the screen for 5 minutes again take the clean side of microfiber and rub off the toothpaste... it will smell minty for a couple of days but eventully it will go away!!!

please try this it works take the time it will work and again do not use any water!!! that means dont put water on cloth and wipe off

hope it helps
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] qoobeq:
Right... I can understand using tooth paste, but a fricking bannana? How funny is that? I honestly would like to see a guy polishing his £350 phone with that.
