I really need this English rom , I have a galaxy 5 watch that just wouldn't connect (Is it possible with the Chinese ROM?)

I tried the previues method , got my phone bricked twice and gave up (had to open the phone, connect those end points and have someone teamviewing my pc and also get a fingerprint calibrator).

so before i start ...is this method safer?
of course nothing is guaranteed and I am putting my phone at risk, I get it....

Also my phone is currently unlocked and as I mentioned i used the previous method and failed....can I still try this new method?

I am not aware of anyone damaging the device using this method.
The bootloader does not need to be unlocked, if it does not need root, you can lock it.
I can't judge the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 connection.

Would anyone briefly please be able to enlighten me as to the benefits and differences of the EU / Global / IN / (whatever they feel is the best) compared to CN?
Presuming there would be no changes to the modem and thus no change of available bands, and the junk like privacy manager and breemo are there in all versions, is there that big a difference?

Currently have an RMX3300 on CN C11 and after debloating it seems quite OK, side-loaded Play store installed fine & no problem with Play apps, unlocked & magisk rooted. Are there any benefits in changing?

The EU and IN versions have a Google dialer, due to the EU policy of not recording calls.
RU and CN version have Realme dialer with call recording.
The global version has better support for Google apps.
I read that notifications work better on the Global version.
The CN version has more unnecessary applications. According to this method, they must be uninstalled manually.

Those who switched from CN to Global could definitely write more.

I switched from Chinese to India ROM, the benefits are getting all google stuff working with no effort, get rid of the Chinese stuff (as much as you debloat it you can never get rid of everything), no Breno here too that a plus, and the most important thing if I decide to sell it in my country (Brazil) is much easier since it has all languages, most people won't buy a device with a Chinese ROM here since it only has English and Chinese languages

I'm also on C.11 with the Chinese rom, how did you download the files? It sends me to a blank page.
I want to try it but I'm a little scared.

Hey all! Is there any way to switch from CN to EU if I have RMX3300 on latest CN Android 13 C.11? Because as far as I understand - this guide will work only if I have RMX3300 on Android 12, or it's suitable for 13 too? Thank you!
i can confirm that this tutorial works on C.11 A13 chinese rom.

Just follow the tutorial but instead of downloading the C.08 rom, download the C.11 rom.

    You have Android 12, so there will be no problem .
    RMX3301_ROLL_BACK_Android12_IN.zip
    OPLocalUpdate_For_Android13.apk
    RMX3300_11.C.13_CN
    Accordingly to what we talked on the other forum topic and the experiments I have done on my device, I think we only need the Indian rollback firmware with the MODIFIED payload_properties.txt file. No need to download the full OTA firmware for our specific device and region.
    So, I think it is sufficient to modify the payload text file contained in the Indian rollback package and put it in the root of the internal storage. After that we disable all internet acces, clear data of the "software update" applications from the settings of the phone and install the OnePlus Updater apk according to the android version currently running on our phone and from that application we can directly install the Indian rollback package, no matter what region our phone is.

    I will try this procedure tomorrow.
    The first time I installed the rollback package it was WITHOUT modifying the payload txt file in it. So I guess this is the reason I lost my Baseband and IMEI numbers.
    Tomorrow I'll try with the modified payload txt file and if it installs without losing Baseband and IMEI s then we're good to go. This would be a universal method of switching between regions using that indian rollback package. Universal meaning usable on both devices, GT2 and GT2 Pro and on any region. And more important: WITHOUT the need to have an unlocked bootloader (as there is also a method witch requires an unlocked bootloader).

    So without success. Rollback to Android 12 for GT 2 will work?
    Yes. Definitely. Flash the modified Indian rollback package (with edited payload text file), boot into indian build (this is the point where I am losing IMEIs) and after that flash the modified European A.22 build (with edited payload text file as well). Done. Back to Android 12 on the RMX3311 and recovered Baseband and IMEIs.

    So yes, this method can be used to rollback for the European model.

    Now I am thinking to enable diag port and make a backup of my QCN file, as i now run the A.22 build with functional Baseband and IMEIs, and after that to try once again to flash the Indian rollback and see if I can restore the QCN file with QFIL and recover the IMEIs but also staying in the Indian firmware.

    Do you know a valid method to enter diag port on these devices?

    I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKS, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. I TRIED AND WORKED FOR ME.

    THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA FROM YOUR DEVICE.

    THIS IS FOR STOCK CHINESE ONLY, I DID NOT TRY IT ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER DEVICES, ROOTED DEVICES, OR ANY OTHER SITUATION, SO IDK IF WORKS FOR THAT.

    What you gonna need:

    android 12 India Rollback:
    https%3A%2F%2Fdownload.c.realme.com%2Fflash%2FDP1_Android_13%2FIN%2FRMX3301_ROLL_BACK_Android12_IN.zip&e=118628786

    Full OTA CN A13
    https%3A%2F%2Fdisk.yandex.ru%2Fd%2FkCmfvWkxHTLqJA&e=118628786

    OP Updater apk
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/oplocalupdate_for_android13-apk-2-zip.5722227/

    YES! YOU GONNA NEED BOTH Packages CN A13 and India Roolback

    Steps:

    - Update your Chinese device to A.13 c.08 normally using the official updater.

    - Once you are on A13_C.08 official update turn off All internet of the device.

    - Transfer all the files downloaded to Documents folder of your device.

    - Go to Settings - Applications - Application Management, press 3 dots, select to show system applications! In the search, enter - Software Update, find it and clear the cache and data in it! Next, in the search, enter - Update Service, find it, and also clear the cache and data in it!

    - Install the OP Updater apk

    - Place the Full OTA CN A13 zip on the root folder of your device.

    - Open the OP updater, press the gear on top. You will see the CN Package listed, tap on it but DO NOT INSTALL (do not touch anything on the popup that will show up)

    - Put the OP updater app on Floating Window so it does not close it

    - Go to the file manager copy the name of the OTA CN A13 from the root of the device and rename the android 12 India Rollback with the name of the OTA CN A13 you copied

    - Delete the OTA CN A13 from the root of the device (or move to another folder) and move the Android 12 India Roolback (that you already renamed) to root folder

    - Go back to the floating window OP Updater and press install now

    - After process is done you will see a Reboot button, press it and let it do the job.

    Done! You should now boot into global ROM India Region.

    Thanks to Stano36 for Showing me this on 4PDA Forum and the guy that shared it.

    ENJOY YOUR GLOBAL ROM DEVICE

    ...stiahnite si Full OTA požadovaného regiónu (Global/EU/RU) a presuňte ho do koreňového adresára a pamäte...
    You forgot to mention that the OTA file must be modified.

    In the file
    payload_properties.txt
    Adjust the value from 0 to 1
    oplus_update_engine_verify_disable=0
    1
    You don't need to unlock the bootloader, banking apps work perfectly.
