Ye in EU there is no 512GB for 12R but that doesn't matter as global ROM will run fine.

The issue is that with OP11 they were region locked so you can't make calls etc.
[OnePlus 12] chrissss91:
I've read that many times, and it seems it appeared right after the OP11 global launch.

How do they proceed ? Will they do the same with OP12 ?

What about Chineses traveling outside of China, their phone doesn't work ?
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
Chinese stores (Giztop, TradingShenzen) do the unlock for you since oneplus 11. They just start the phone & make a phone call for over 5 minutes.

After NO region lock on your phone.

Unless you are crazy and want Only factory sealed box. Nobody to touch your phone !!!
[OnePlus 12] chrissss91:
Ho, I see. Thx for the explanation 👍
[OnePlus 12] Njackste:
Great thanks for the info
[OnePlus 12] HellsDelight:
According to other forums activating and making a phone call (also with a Chinese SIM) does not unlock the region. As far as I understood the OnePlus Store needs to unlock your IMEI in their database.
[OnePlus 12] HellsDelight:
This is the infos I found for the OnePlus 12. No guarantee if its the same for the OnePlus 12R:

According to this YouTube comments of the creator that usually is selling unlock services claims no OnePlus 12 Region Lock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayMoCkX0ctI

Also Trading Shenzhen answered in the questions section below that it has no region lock: https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/oneplus-12/oneplus-12-12gb256gb

XDA Developer confirms no region lock:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1737117125314269664

So if two above companies that try to sell unlocks / imported unlocked versions of the China phone say it has not it seems that OnePlus 12 now really does not have the region lock anymore.

When I asked OnePlus Support about eSim and Region Lock this is the statement I received but from their answer I have the feeling the OnePlus Support I wrote seems also not 100% sure about Region Lock. They just in general seem to consider you should buy the phone in your region:
[OnePlus 12] bdvince:
I ordered from Giztop and indeed started getting region-locked messaging on my OnePlus 12 after putting in my SIM card.

Are you meaning to say that everyone that has ordered from Giztop and TradingShenzen has been receiving open-boxes (due to being pre-activated in China)? My box was completely plastic-wrapped and was not opened by anybody.
[OnePlus 12] alejandrpp:
Hello, mine also came with plastic and I don't have a region lock for now. I switched it to Global and then inserted the SIM and no problems. I assumed that the plastic was not the original, that the store had put a new plastic on it after activating it...
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
bdvince​

alejandrpp​

Did you read what HellsDelight write ?
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
You should make a new, clear post with this. So that the same question will not be ask again & again & again.
[OnePlus 12] cmt2894:
Currently there's news of Region lock from Giz*o now ...

The question is would it affect the users who already flash to Oxygen and does it only appear from updated China Color OS thru OTA?
[OnePlus 12] bdvince:
No one is asking the same questions again and again as at the time I made my post most people were not experiencing a region lock and I had the first reported region lock on XDA.

My question was directed to YOU since you indicated that any phone from China would not be factory sealed due to needing to be pre-activated, but clearly you do not know what you're talking about so maybe you should stop posting altogether. Thanks!
[OnePlus 12] Njackste:
So do we just have to wait and see if the 12R is region locked?

Thanks
[OnePlus 12] null0seven:
If you buy chinese phone from China and you want OxygenOS & region unlock, your box should Not be sealed. This will be useless. Plain Stupid !
[OnePlus 12] downrange914:
I bought the 24Gb/1Tb O12 from ebay and the product description made clear there's two versions - the CN version on ColorOS and the Global version on Oxygen.

As others have said, check your product description or ask the seller before purchasing - I have to be honest and say I skipped just to the stage of buying it - and found the rest out when I read what I was actually buying :)

I do not recommend my approach - luckily the seller was honest - but some aren't
[General Questions and Answers] arrmansa99:
I had a rooted phone, in which I misclicked an apk and installed it. Almost immediately I uninstalled it and disabled the network (I also had afwall and netguard enabled). However it was too late. I got a ~100's of 0kb system apps without icons. I re-flashed the phone with fresh stock firmware and factory reset it, however the broken system apps (and likely the malware) are still there.

Does anyone have suggestions on what can be done to fix this? Or any knowledge of similar malware?

Some antivirus I could use, or maybe something stronger than a system flash?

Thanks in advance.

Pic is after stock rom flash and factory reset. These were not there before.
[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
Hi @arrmansa99

Those are not malware or bloatware, this is some kind of overlay application required by the android system.
[General Questions and Answers] arrmansa99:
Hi, these are definitely malware files that were not present on my device before. They were created after I installed the malware app. Also all of these apps are 0 kb with no Icon and there are 100's of these. I am very, very sure these are malware. Thanks for the reply.
[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
The application you mentioned above is a system application from Android. if it's a malware application, the application cannot be injected into /system unless you allow root access. If you are unsure about this application, you can search for the function of each application on Google.
[General Questions and Answers] arrmansa99:
Okay, I'm not sure how best to explain this clearly.

1. I had a rooted phone.

2. I (accidentally) installed an app, that was 100% definitely malware.

3. I got notifications of newly installed apps.

4. I saw It started installing apps as system, with 0kb and blank icons.

5. These apps were either not there in my phone before, or had >0kb size, with version 1.

6. I flashed my phone to stock firmware

7. These apps are still there with version 1, and 0kb size.

8. I need to figure out how to get rid of these.

[General Questions and Answers] fuiyohtanay:
A while back I lent one of my phones to my friend(was) for a day and when i got it back it locked me out of my accounts with passwords changed when i logged in after sometime

So i did a reflash with password changes but it still occurs so im thinking its something hardware

(I have tried all the avs but no luck)

What can i do to detect and remove it assuming its hardware?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Ask tour friend if they did anything on purpose and do a factory reset.

Use a virus scanner to detect the malware
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
@fuiyohtanay

a hardware malware does NOT exist. In the context of an Android device, hardware refers to the physical components of the device that make it work.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
That's not true. Spyware can be embedded as a hardware feature: example would be a phone still beaming its location even when turned OFF.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I'm pretty sure that I'm NOT wrong:

You can’t attach malware (a virus, a trojan, a worm, a ransomware, i.e. any kind of software that is intentionally designed to cause harm to a device) to any hardware at all, malware are basically just applications (softwares) that give your device some bad commands. You can create a malware that could harm any built in hardware, but you can’t attach one to any hardware at all, that’s not how malware works.

Malware can infect hardware. There are three ways this can be done.

First, if the “supply chain” is compromised, the chip itself may have components that effect a malicious action. At minimum, it may be designed to “appear” to be doing something innocuous (periodic polling for updates, or sending temperature readings to its manufacturer for “quality control”) while actually embedding encrypted sensitive information in that very stream. This malicious functionality is simply part of the hardware.

Second, there is “software” - but there is also “firmware” (chip-installed software that does not go away when the power is off, but requires a higher voltage signal to read and obtain changes, called “flashing”). Most motherboard BIOS is flashed firmware. A “Bad BIOS” update is always a possibility.

Third, there exists “diskless” (memory-only) malware that infects your RAM or system memory, and never writes itself to disk (this helps them hide from many antivirus products.) The malware vanishes when you reboot, but if you revisit the site that infected you, you can get infected again.

IMO speaking of hardware malware / using the term hardware malware simply is nonsense.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
It is true that malware by 'definition' is software designed for malicious activity.

Use of the term 'hardware malware' or similar is simply about hardware designed to do malicious stuff, like the one in the example given.
[General Questions and Answers] fuiyohtanay:
I appreciate your answers and correcting me as i am fairly new to this its just that its a used phone and i am trying to make sure its safe to use

But its just that he borrowed my phone for a day and lent it back to me and then these symptoms start showing up and the back cover came out a little loose obivously this doesnt mean he did but im just wondering if its a possibility

I have read about hardware trojan and system level malware and i have flashed and factory reset the phone multiple times so it probably is getting reinstalled somehow or somehow a hardware part of the malware got added to the phone later on is what i think

I only visit trusted websites like pinterest spotify gmail etc on the phone but i do also click on links on my friends profile which could probably be customised

I scanned the links using virus total but only one says wiper ransomware(symantec) and such rest all are clean

Other than this my phone runs android 7(redmi 4x) which could be exploited but im not sure exactly how and what are the requirements for it

Is there any way to scan the system partition for malware? Or any method that detects these stuff?

I know a reflash and a factory reset will erase everything software related.

thanks for the making of the ROM I'm already using your LOS 17.1.

you said to shrink the 4GB System partition back to 2GB. I have the 4GB because it was needed in 17.1. how do I go back to the 2GB partition? do you happen to have the commands to use for parted?

I would appreciate your answer and thank you for taking part in the phone modding community.

many regards

Edit:

So I've gotten my Google app updated to the correct version that includes cts in the version number but I still can't figure out how to make it trigger on this rom. I normally use gesture navigation and I made sure the swipe from corner to invoke assistant is on, I've tried the 2 and 3 button navigation too and have assistant activation on those but this only activated regular assistant with no circle search option anywhere, I'm really confused about this and how to fix it if anyone has any suggestions.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] albinoman887:
The first release I derped the SELinux Policy for the OTA Updater app which made it not have the required write permissions to download and save the rom zip. The only way there is to resolve this is you will have to manually flash the updated zip to get the ota updater app the required write permissions. I beleive i fixed this in v4.1 , if not v4.1.1 . after your on that version or newer the OTA updater will work correctly.

really? still? I think we went over or storage usage and so it was being throttled but it's been increased

Do i have to pay anything lol? do i get FTP access? can i migrate my entire site there? PM me or hit me up on telegram @albinoman887

It was like that for a couple days but I got it to download eventually on my desktop, super slowly but I did.

In response to your big post, I have very little understanding of coding but would it be easier or simpler to convert this rom to a magisk module that just has the collection of all these tweaks and additions and just update that instead of a whole ROM every time?
