    Post What's the correct model to get for use in Japan (and how!)?

    North America version ordered from and shipped to USA, then forwarded by post ($26, 10 days) works fine with data sim. I don't have a voice sim here in Tokyo to try. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA Free mobile app

    I backed up everything Helium would backup, and it's all in //internal/carbon. I backed up /carbon to external USB storage. The files in /carbon seem perfectly readable on my mac (not encrypted). Do you believe I can factory reset, and then install Helium, copy /carbon back to internal, then...
