Thanks for the information. My OnePlus 12 was unlocked remotely in a few minutes.

The process is easy and quick if you have the "Official Tax Invoice (发票 Fapiao)" and can communicate in Chinese.

I contacted the "Online Service (在线客服)" in the built-in app "OnePlus Community (一加社区)" and asked to unlock the region lock.

The Customer Service Representative sent me the instructions for Remote diagnostics.

Settings -> Password & security -> Phone Manager -> Top Right Corner Dots -> Diagnostics -> Top Right Corner Dots -> Remote diagnostics -> Enter 6-digit verification code

The Customer Service Representative gave me a 6-digit verification code. After inputting the code, I had to upload the "Official Tax Invoice (发票 Fapiao)" picture in time.
[OnePlus 12] PedroJaculcul69:
so do you recommend for lfash OOS to COS?
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
Only in colourOS? If I have already flashed to oxygenOS, there is no this choice.
[OnePlus 12] gentrydeng:
You can find a link to live chat with customer service on the OnePlus website.

https://chat.oppo.com/chat/pc/v2/index.html?sysnum=9f06d616a05a43a9a50421f5f0982e4d&channelid=2&product_name=&soft_version=

Or you can choose to download the OPPO Store app.

A user login is required, which means an OPPO HeyTap account needs to be registered using a mobile phone number, but I've seen that there seems to be the option to choose a mobile phone number from another region, so maybe a Chinese mainland mobile phone number isn't necessary.

But maybe a Chinese mainland internet environment is also needed, I'm not sure if accounts registered in other regions are applicable to the customer service in Chinese mainland.

When using the Chinese mainland network, the footer of the login page shows "Guangdong HeyTap" (广东欢太), while in other regions it shows "BRAVO UNICORN PTE. LTD".

As well as seeking help from local customer service if possible.

[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
I know Chinese, thanks for your help.

Flashed oneplus 12 can update via OTA?
[OnePlus 12] gentrydeng:
As far as I know, yes.
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
I just contact the Oppo, provided by u, I need the Chinese phone number to help me remote unlock.

anyway, I have the way to unlock my oneplus 11 without any charges.
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
Just have a update with all of you

If you want to unlock the region

1. your phone MUST be colourOS (it includes the remote control function)

2. if your phone has been flashed to OxygenOS, they would not help you.

3. you MUST have the invoice (发票)

4. Chinese phone number is NOT NECESSARY

5. it will be better if you know chinese (for communication)
[OnePlus 12] gentrydeng:
I don't know if the relevant permissions are available in OxygenOS, otherwise you should be able to do it remotely by installing the relevant apps directly.

I've extracted two applications and I'm not sure if they work.

It is highly recommended to contact OPPO China Customer Service under ColorOS or seek your local customer service department.
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
I have asked the Oppo china customer service

the result is actually as I have mentioned
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
Your oneplus 12 unlocked in colourOS version?
[OnePlus 12] joechow05:
Yes, in Mainland China stock ColorOS 14. They need the "Remote diagnostics" function to connect to the phone and unlock the region lock remotely. I doubt such a function is inside OxygenOS.

The region lock is unlocked once and for all.

Maybe it is worth flashing your phone back with ColorOS just for Customer Service to remotely unlock the region lock. Save both money and time :D

Feel free to flash again OxygenOS after unlocking the region lock.
[OnePlus 12] joechow05:
By the way, I also asked OnePlus Customer Service in Germany (https://oneplus-eu.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch?channel=3). They can also help to unlock the region lock. However, the drawback is that the phone has to be sent to them for unlocking. Although it is free of charge, the whole process will take days.

I think remote unlocking is much more convenient.
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
OK. Thanks for your info

But my OP11 has already flashed to oxygenOs and my current region is not the banned region.

It is very inconvenient for me to flash back to colouros for unlock.
[OnePlus 12] Gonikebb4:
I find out how to remove locked

Any use EU/IN/US
[OnePlus 12] HellsDelight:
Interesting I tried OnePlus Germany Support and OnePlus Global which told me I need to check with OnePlus China as it was bought through there.

Today I did the unlock with OnePlus China but needed help from a Chinese friend as nothing is in English.

It took just 5min with the support and 3 seconds when they connected to the phone.

First I used the OnePlus Community App on ColorOS 14 with a Chinese account as my global account didn't work for this app. There I clicked on Support and then the Chat icon. It is an AI chat that you can ask about region lock in Chinese and it will list all phones that have region lock but doesn't help. With the answer a clickable text shows to request help then it shows a "real" person entered the chat. Asking that person about the region lock they quickly ask you to upload the invoice and give you a code for the remote assistance which is in the app "Phone Manager". They also ask for a phone number to connect to the phone. To them it doesn't matter if it's the phone number of the region lock Sim. It is their way to connect remotely with that number. After accepting the remote assistance I saw nothing what he did but after 3 seconds he wrote that it's done and after a reboot I didn't have a region lock popup anymore.

I would think it would work also on OxygenOS but those two mentioned apps need to be installed for them.
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
Of course I know that oxygenOS can do this. But officially they would not help u if you flashed from colouros to oxygenOS.

The oneplus china told me that even though you install the phone manager on your device, they still mention that "oxygenOS cannot support this".
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
Any guideline for us? what is the password of this?
[OnePlus 12] joechow05:
Yeah, I forgot to mention that one has to type "人工服务" (which means Human Services) in the chat to get a real person to help. :D
[OnePlus 12] madxxcow:
Hello,

I purchased a OnePlus 12 from Trading Shenzhen around a month ago, delivered to Europe. Following the region lock message appearing on screen, I got back to them and they took in charge the unlock with their partner... Free of charge for me.

It's very professional, I can only recommend Trading Shenzhen services.
[OnePlus 12] liuzd:
hello, do nfc and fingerprint work properly on your phone?
[OnePlus 12] liuzd:
hello

nfc and fingerprint are properly working?
[OnePlus 12] cd993:
Perfectly! No issues with either (and still no region lock.... Phew...!)
[OnePlus 12] liuzd:
sorry for bother

i want to confirm

color to oxygen, right?
[OnePlus 12] liuzd:
hello, if removed the region lock

then flash oxygen

is there region lock again ?
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
So, what is working mothod to remove region lock on Chinese version wit OxygenOS installed, is there any? Also, will it be actually any real lock applied? Or the only issue is warning message after boot?
[OnePlus 12] gauravgolakiya:
from which shop you bought? i wanted to buy from trinity electronic, right now i am in hongkong only
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
Aliexpress sellers promise device with OxygenOS and region lock removed. Some of them got positive feedback, there's no any region lock mentioned
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
2 Big shops in China.

TradingShenzen

Giztop

Both remove lock region. Both flash if you need OxygenOS

Trinity electronic does not sell Oneplus 12. On site they have 3 Oneplus phones (old, cheap)
[OnePlus 12] zelos156:
If you wanna oneplus without regionlock only tradingshenzhen. Don't look on anyone site.

Always Tradingshenzhen is best for price and software.
[OnePlus 12] giaur:
Should I really believe I won't pay vat when receiving shipment from China? That means they will pay VAT.
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
I am from Europa.

Did NOt pay vat or any taxes on my first Oneplus 12 bought on 17 jan. 24 .

Now i wait for my second one.

I don't know about VAT in USA

TradingShenzen pay VAT to the curier. The curier pay VAT when the product enter your country.

So they say & is true so far.
[OnePlus 12] HellsDelight:
No, there is only a tool for rooted devices that resets it each time and the free method already explained to contact OPPO Support via the ColorOS app.
[OnePlus 12] newtonc:
Can anyone please write me what is the exact phrase wording in Chinese I need to ask OPPO support? I'm in China right now and have the fapiao.
[OnePlus 12] newtonc:
I can speak a little Chinese, but the initial phrase to ask for region unlock I don't know how to say. Can you help me?
[OnePlus 12] joechow05:
You'd better have a Chinese guy next to you to help you. Prepare the IMEI number and the invoice picture before contacting the Customer Service.

1. Hello, I need to unlock the region lock on my phone. I received the following message: "You are using a region-customized phone. Its calling functions are restricted in your region. Please contact a retail store for support."

你好，我需要解锁手机的区域锁。 我收到了如下信息：

“您使用的是地区定制手机。它的呼叫功能在您所在的地区受到限制。请联系客户服务以获得支持。”

2. I can provide you my mobile phone IMEI number. I have saved the purchase invoice picture on my phone. I can upload the invoice picture in a moment.

我能提供我的手机IMEI号。我已在手机里保存了购机发票图片。我能一会上传发票图片。
[OnePlus 12] newtonc:
Thanks, I'll try. I only have the alipay receipt I got from the machine, that shows the value.I have asked for the fapiao at the OPPO store, I was asked to wait for 3 days. Let's see
[OnePlus 12] thang97:
Most are correct, but I'd like to point out number 2

Even if you flashed OOS, customer service will request you to flash back to COS, they'll wait until you flash back to COS to unlock

Obviously they won't help you do so

I bought my Ace 3 Genshin from taobao, the seller provided me with the invoice so I request remote unlock from Oppo Customer Service by myself (and with Google Translate's help too)
[OnePlus 12] newtonc:
I'm having a hard time finding out how to contact chat on the official community app. I pasted the wording from the below post on the bottom section of the app, but all i get is an automated response, no contact with any real agent.

Edit: have to keep trying, saying that automated answer did not work, then you'll be connect. from there, the phrases provided below helped me, and I could unlock, after submitting the fapiao
[OnePlus 12] joechow05:
Wonderful! I am so glad that it worked in the end!
[OnePlus 12] wowandroid:
Hello everyone. I would be most grateful if anyone can help me. I'm from UK and I recently purchased a OnePlus 12 (With Global Rom - OxygenOS) from a seller on AliExpress. He stated in his advert it was region-free/unlocked.

I received it a week ago and since then both my simcards (o2 and vodafone) calls are working fine and there have not been any messages regarding the region lock. The manufacturer date on box is 2023/12/7.

However here's what happens when I enter the following codes (with the simcards still inserted):-

Dialing *#899# - Shows Region test as greyed out.

Dialing *#*#3932433284#*#* - Shows the State as -1

Since the UK country MCC codes 234/235 are affected, what does the above mean?

I'm also travelling to Tunisia with my family in the next 2 weeks and that's another MCC that's blacklisted so I'm extremely worried as I don't want my phone to be blocked whilst in a foreign country stuck with my family. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

[OnePlus 12] akaloith:
so whats the case with region lock now in oneplus 12?

I bought from aliexpress and waiting for it to arrive

what should i check first? and what to do if its locked?
[OnePlus 12] nonegor:
That is the policy of oppo. They only help you under the COS.
[OnePlus 12] skans01:
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but i have found myself in a similar situation.

I've recently bought a OnePlus 12 while in china, however I had to return home before it actually arrived, and it is now in the hands of a friend of mine still in China. He has tried contacting customer support about the region lock, however they have stated they cant remove it from afar, and that he needs to visit an OPPO facility. Now, the nearest one is quite far from where he is, so he hasn't had the time to do this.

However he tested the phone with a SIM card from my country of origin (Sweden), and he was able to make a call on this SIM card. Does this mean the region lock is not present on this device? Is there any way i can contact customer service, and have them unlock my phone, from Sweden?
[OnePlus 12] M.Mosa007:

Hi, everyone!

I have been using this laptop for daily use for 2 years. Even though it's a gaming laptop, I've never used it for that. Heavy use only in AutoCAD, Inkscape, Adroid Studio, and WSL2 (for building kernels and static web).

HP Victus 15-FA0008TX

OS: Windows 11 Insider Beta

CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050

Storage: 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ TLC M.2 SSD

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CMSX32GX4M2A3200C22 *upgraded

I'm planning on upgrading the SSD to 2TB to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, but for now I think 500GB is enough. Unfortunately, this laptop can only be filled with 1 M.2 SSD slot.

That's all, what do you think?
[Battlestations] SigmundDroid:
Definitely. Even if you don't use all of the 2TB, one should expect a better lifetime (less writes per cell). And perhaps more speed (you didn't mention what NVMe it is, eg TBW, DRAM cache etc).

And why not more RAM? Was (is still) dirtcheap...

How loud is your machine? I am getting increasingly annoyed with the fans my laptop (especially with Windoze, which is always doing something).
[Battlestations] khusika:
I'm considering to buy Seagate BarraCuda 520

I've been doing this since I first bought it, because the default RAM is only 8GB

Not so much just for 3D rendering and small Android app projects except for bulding kernel with nproc --all
[Battlestations] SigmundDroid:
View attachment 6061781

Personally, I wouldn't take this one: Just 225 ReWrites (aka 900TB TBW / 4TB capacity) and "only" 3 yrs warranty. Even mainstream drives have like at least 300 RW (well, advertised at least). My drives usually have at least 1000. One might think it doesn't matter but heat is degrading that additionally, imagine 5-10W on the size of a stamp.

I'd wish I could point to a better alternative but there are not many alternatives (4TB at 5000TBW with 5yrs warranty):

...but then, perhaps I am just too paranoid with my storage 🤪
[Battlestations] khusika:
I was thingking of FireCuda instead of BarraCuda before, but it cost more Power(W) and will heat up quickly with it. Also i want to keep my battery management as long as possible, that is why i choose mid-range ssd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aserar:
First off I'm an "advanced user" but not a developer. I use different social media accounts for work and constantly switching between them and I guess this caused Snapchat to ban my device (it is verified that the ban is on the device not accounts, network, etc). I tried changing the rom, spoofing fingerprint and model/brand but didn't worked. I tried spoofing IMEI using xposed modules (IMEI masker and IMEI changer) but they don't seem to work effectively on A13.

It seems that I hit a wall and I'm not even sure if IMEI is what's responsible for identifying the device to the app or its something I'm not even aware of. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

[OnePlus 9 Pro] DKSE21:
I have a OnePlus Pro 9 Global, model LE2125, running latest LineageOS that I'm trying to revert back to stock. I did this before using MSM Tool on a Windows 10 computer and had no issues but I no longer have that computer and now have a laptop running Windows 11 and I'm having an issue. At first nothing was showing up in MSM Tool but I followed a suggestion I found in a guide that said to boot without driver signature enforcement and re-install the Qualcomm drivers. Now when I boot the phone in to EDL mode a bunch of things do show up in MSM Tool, but everything is blank for all of them aside from the connection status which reads N/A for all of them. And nothing new shows up in Windows Device Manager under ports or under other; even though I have all this stuff that wasn't showing up before now showing up in MSM Tool which, again, is just a bunch of lines of connection statuses all reading N/A for each of them. I've tried different drivers and it's the same I just either get nothing or I just get a bunch of N/A connection statuses. I guess my first question is am I asking this in the right forum or website, and what other places should I ask this? Second question anyone know of anything I should try?

Upside: So I uninstalled all drivers except a OnePlus driver in my programs that won't let me uninstall it because it's apparently not there is what the error says. Anyway that aside I reinstalled the Qualcomm driver after doing this and now I can sometimes get it to show up as Android Device in device manager. Still nothing but connection status N/A in MSM Tool though.

Update: Solved. I made a new partition on my hard drive and installed Windows 10. For whatever reason I found that I have to first open the Windows 7 version of MSM Tool, this gives me COM3 Connection status N/A whereas previously there was nothing. This happens even if no device is plugged in. Opening the Windows 7 MSM tool first seems to give me a missing COM port. I then close the Windows 7 version and open the normal version of MSM tool. I turn the phone off and hold both volume keys down and plug the phone in and keep the keys held down for several seconds until I see connected in MSM tool. It will only stay connected for several seconds though, so you gotta be quick pressing start in MSM tool.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
Yes, this post fits here fine imo.

I don't have w11 to test with but I recall a thread here on xda or reddit where the user on w11 was having problems and decided to run w10 (or maybe it was w7) in a VM and was able to successfully flash it that way.

When I attempted to search for that thread for you, I came across a post that claims these instructions worked for him on w11 after disable driver signature and reboot. Maybe that's the thread you found as well.

Bricked flashing Lineage and MSM will not work

Long story short, I was having tons of bugs in A12 from camera rebooting phone to not receiving phone calls so I decided to flash LOS 18.1 and ended up bricking my device presumably because I didn't downgrade to OOS11 beforehand. Currently, I can...

xdaforums.com

Normally, on w7/10, plugging the phone in will show up as 9008 or 900E depending on your driver situation. When I have issues with windows recognizing it and I'm sure I have the right drivers in place, I start the msm tool and click flash, then connect the phone in edl mode because there's no way for it to timeout and kick me out of edl mode. It automatically starts as soon as edl is detected.

Worst case, you may try running w7/10 in a VM (again with driver signature verification off, it should reboot and say test mode in the bottom right corner if it's actually off) or borrowing a PC from someone else.

Use a usb2 port and known good cable if you can. Not just a cable that charges but a good cable that does everything as it should. We have found users that had the ability to fast charge and send data over the PC and use adb fine but changed cables and it worked right.

(Speaking of adb, are you able to see the device with "adb devices"? You have USB debugging on from developer options? Just curious to see the driver/cable communication, you can edl flash without a functional ROM so this isn't exactly necessary to do the msm part)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] DKSE21:
Yes adb and fastboot work fine. Device storage works fine too. Seems like literally everything else is working besides EDL. I'm new to Windows 11, does it generally have issues with all kinds of stuff? Also do you have a recommendation for free way to set up virtual machine? I'm even half tempted to just dual boot Windows 10 & 11 in case 11 causes issues with other stuff I try to do someday.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] kdrv3xc:
if it's showing up as 9008 in device manager, make sure the com port on the phone is the same as what it's set to in MSM tool.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] DKSE21:
It's not, when I boot EDL mode it shows up as Android Device and I can't seem to change that. That's as far as I've been able to get it, I can get it to show up in device manager as Android Device but still getting connection status N/A in MSM Tool. I'm beginning to wonder if it is indeed a Windows 11 problem like the other reply above said.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] kdrv3xc:
if it shows in device manager as android device and not something along the lines of "Qualcomm HS-USB QD-Loader 9008" then it's not in edl mode

edl mode happens before the phone identifies itself as an android device, or even adb
