How To Guide How to change regions on Oneplus 10T 5g via Update/Downgrade Packages:
- Thread starter beatbreakee
- Start date
Just wanted go inform you guys that, for the first time after the job was done, the system updater found an available update and I downloaded it. as expected, it failed extracting the update file, and it just downloaded the entire 4.5gb file to flash it as a whole. everything went well, just lost root (re-rooted it 5 minutes later, so w/e)
Bro. I'm on latest oos13 India. I want to change to global. Does this method will work?
I think so. maybe you could try straight flashing global android 12 first, then update to 13
I think so but maybe you wanna wait for us to have a tool to unbrick oneplus 10t... I did it bur I knew smtg could go wrong haha
no, the charging speed is still great. 17 minutes from 0 to 100%.
in order to root, I downloaded the boot.img for oneplus 10T, installed Magisk, patched the boot.img file using magisk, transfered the patched boot.img file to the computer, used "adb reboot bootloader", and then I used "fastboot boot boot.img", openned magisk, clicked on Direct Install. Reboot, its rooted!
oh, thats right, i think you need to enable developer options and unkock it
Bro, I managed to change the region without any error! Thank you so much!
May I ask if you have a boot.img? I'll to root my 10T
I just install android 13 EU rom (Oneplus Updater) from android 13 India rom using the local update apk from the following link without changing the payload_properties.txt

Region changed without data lost
Can the Chinese version ACE pro to be flashed with the GlobalROM?
I am not sure what is the difference between the 10T and the Chinese region exclusive ACE Pro, I would assume they are the same phone.

thanks bro done

from ace pro chinese version to 2413 indian version to 2415 global version
@Von192, This is the boot.img I am using right now, IT IS ALREADY PATCHED! which means you just have to:
"fastboot boot boot_patched_oneplus10t.img"
then open magisk, click direct install, reboot
drive.google.com
"fastboot boot boot_patched_oneplus10t.img"
then open magisk, click direct install, reboot
boot_patched_oneplus10t.img
drive.google.com
good job, maybe I could have tried this before downgradingI just install android 13 EU rom (Oneplus Updater) from android 13 India rom using the local update apk from the following link without changing the payload_properties.txt

To clarify things.... I am the dude who figured out how to side-step from model to model... I have went from 2419 (android 12 .11), to 2413 (android 13), Down to 2415 (android 12 .08), then 2417 (android 12.10), back up to 2415 (android 13), down to 2415 (android 12 .05), 2417 (android 12 .08) and finally a FULL sidestep 2417 (12 .08) to 2415 (12.08) which the latter is supposed to be impossible, with downgrade package, yet i am sitting here and i have done it!
!!! Credit for discovering the Downgrade Packages, and Information about OPPO/Oneplus Bootloader restrictions goes to, Maamdroid , and EtherealRemnant !... Without their most important input, i would not have had the courage, and knowledge of exactly what i was going up against, in attempting a region change on a BL/Carrier locked device. They were the geniuses who helped me derive this method, i was just the guinea pig willing to go Dr. Frankenstein on my T-Mobile locked, handicapped device. !!!!

WORLD FAMINE, 6G MUTANT INVASION, NANO BOTS ENTERING YOUR FANNY, TRUMP RE-ELECTION, CIVIL WAR, YOU FORGETTING TO DO THAT THING YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO EARLIER.... 72 HOUR KARDASHIAN MARATHONS, GLOBAL WARMING, YO MAMA SLAPPING YOU, OR ANY OTHER SIDE EFFECT FROM ATTEMPTING THESE IMAGINARY WORDS THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE READING, YET YOU ARENT BECAUSE READING HASNT BEEN INVENTED YET IN YOUR TIMELINE B.C.5182 , AND THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A MEAT POPSICLE... PROCEED ONLY IF YOU FEEL FULLY CONFIDENT IN THE ANALYSIS YOU ARE ABOUT TO IMAGINE READING , AND THEN REPEAT AFTER ME: ***
" I AM FULLY AWARE OF THE RISKS INVOLVED WITH MAKING MODIFICATIONS OR EXPLOITING FUNCTIONS THAT WERE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED IN THE METHOD I AM ABOUT TO USE THEM FOR. AND IF A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE ERUPTS DUE TO ANY MISTAKE I MADE FLASHING THE FILES LISTED HERE, I WILL NOT EVER ... EVER... EVEN CONSIDER ANY WORDS READ FROM HERE, AS HAVING ANY THING BUT A TRULY POSITIVE EFFECT UPON MY LIFE! " .... PROCEED!
The ONLY requirements of the downgrade packages on the 10T, is that you CANNOT downgrade to a build version that is lower than your current one IF you are attempting to region hop while staying on the same version of android.... (ie. you cannot go from A12 .10, to A12 .08... but you can go from 2415 A12 .05 to 2413 A12 .08) Got that?
One other important thing is that in the zip file that contains the payload.bin, there is an additional file named payload_properties.txt. You need to open that file in a text editor, and look for the line about the "Update_Engine_Check_Disable".... by default it is set to 0 which makes Local Updater check to see if the models match in some files. A mismatch will just cancel your update. Local updater is KEY to doing any Region Swaps, especially with a locked bootloader. This is because Local Updater does NOT perform any of the flashing itself... that whole progress bar is your phone verifying the contents of the payload.bin to make sure that all files in the manifests are present, and compatible with your device... it actually KEEPS YOU FROM BRICKING your phone because of a mismatched file/ or bad flash. If Local Updater detects ANYTHING that is not interchangeable, it will crash during the verification, your phone will reboot, and start normally as if you never attempted an update.
Local updater is also not capable (afaik) of applying ANY changes to the Bootloader, or boot partition. As well it seems limited in its ability to even fully access some userdata files. All of my developer options were in exactly the same state that they were prior to each flash. The only deviation of that , was in DOWNGRADING from A13 to A12... but every upgrade, no matter which model fw used seemed to have done the 'Data, system, bin, etc, var, lib, and kernel, plus a few others' , but the truly secure partitions such as 'aboot, xbl, and system-priv' + deep memory blocks werent touched i believe.
The END result of each region swap will be your device FULLY IDENTIFYING as the model for that region.. (ex. 2419 will now show as 2415 if Global, 2413 if India, or 2417 if North America)
This will change EVERY TIME you flash a different region, and Local Updater will block you from flashing if it detects a lower build, EXCEPT for the 2415 Downgrade Package. So ALWAYS use that as a base if you want to go to another region. <ie. to go from 2413 to 2417, i recommend first flashing the 2415 downgrade, which will put you on A.08 build, then you can update to any region you want, even the Android 13 builds.... but if you want to go to a different region and back to 12, you must use that 2415 Downgrade or Local updater will stop you. The 2415 is a signed official rollback package direct from oneplus, so it allows you to downgrade from pretty much any version.
***** KEY FACT ***** This ONLY applies to OTA upgrade and downgrade packages that come in a single zip file that contains 3 items. Payload.bin Payload_properties.txt and Meta_Inf folder ... If you unzip the fw that you dl, and it contains anything other than those 3 that i just named, you either have a Fastboot package, a Full system package, or a MODIFIED package which you should NOT interact with unless you completely trust the source it was dl from. I have seen some NAAAAASTY scripts, coded in Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Wingdings (yes that weird windows font!) ... and they are becoming VERY GOOD at moving to an app directory, changing a files name and replacing that file with WHATEVER IT IS, but renamed to a something common to the location! So by doing that, those files evade most onboard detection, if they have modified code, because that file name was whitelisted . Stick with the signed rollback package, and OTA either direct from the Oneplus community websire, or from the "gsmmafia" site, as both are packages sourced direct from the manufacturer and contain no modified code!
***How to get the OTA files for the region you want to switch to... follow instructions EXACTLY and you wont have an error.***
You have to use the "OXYGEN UPDATER" app from the google play store... When you first open it , it will tell you that your device is on the current version... ignore that, and you have to open the settings menu for it, and go enable ADVANCED MODE.... This will allow you to go back and CHOOSE what device you are supposedly using. (kinda a cheap override command)... doing this will let you choose the 2417 (NA) model. **Now once again HIGHLY IMPORTANT that you are doing this ONLY after flashing the Downgrade/Rollback so that you will be on 2415 A.08 build... cuz then when you select the 2417 model, it will show an update available for 2417 A.12 build. and also the Android 13 Beta. Pick whichever you want, and click download... NOW once downloaded DO NOT HIT THE REBOOT BUTTON.... this will attempt to flash it via normal methods... instead jump into ADB , go to Shell, and head to /sdcard/ and start looking for the folder where it just downloaded the update. It places it sometimes in the main /Sdcard/ folder, and other times in the /Sdcard/Android/Data/<app name>/ folder.... you will know it when u see it. Find it and copy it to your computer and then you have the official OTA saved. After that, make sure it is moved to the /Sdcard/ folder and use "local updater". Will ask you to confirm, click Ok, and it should start the verification and flash process.
Be advised it will APPEAR like its frozen or no progress for like 4 minutes, then it will slowly start moving. Once it gets to 99, it will appear stuck again... just be patient and about 5 min later it will complete. Total flash time is arouund 20-25 min.
DO NOT FORGET TO UNPACK THE ZIP FILE
EDIT THE PAYLOAD_PROPERTIES.TXT
CHANGE THE "0" TO A "1" ON THE ENGINE_UPDATE_CHECK_DISABLE =
SAVE THE CHANGES, AND RE - ZIP THE CONTENTS
THEN COPY THIS ZIP FILE TO YOUR /SDCARD/ FOLDER!
if you dont it will fail!
Links to Downgrader Packages used can be found HERE
EDIT: I went ahead and linked the main files necessary for this whole process here for ease, and my peace of mind. Now I know that you have all re required tools. Enjoy!

Local Update apk (official)1I did not find any over the air or upgrade packages for the 2417 model from the above link. How did you get back to the 2417 model? And what APK did you use because some of them did not work on my device. It would just say verification failed. I thought I tried to go from a global.08 to the over the air .10 2417 model but it didn't work for me it just said verification failed. I did try to go sideways from the global .10 to the North American .10 but it also did a verification failed. maybe I'll try again. I got the over-the-air 2417 model update from the OnePlus updater app.1
Hey you seem like a very competent programmer you should shoot me a private message and add me and discord I have the OnePlus 10t and I've been trying to figure out how to restore it if we run into a problem again I did restore them at once but it doesn't seem like I can do it the same way again I would like to get more details but I want to keep it to a private chat cuz I don't want to get people's hopes up a way to fix a phone that isn't real1first of all, thanks beatbreakee for this thread.
I had an updated version of android 12 - India, and wanted to switch it to global.
here is what I did, in case someone wants to do the same:
1- Rolledback to an older version of android 12 - India, using local install
file used: 4190_sign_CPH2413_11_A_OTA_0080_all_e63867_00011011.zip
2- Installed the android 13 version of android - GLO, using Local Update apk (official)
file used: CPH2415_11_C_OTA_1100_all_WcQAfm_10100111.zip
*Both files I downloaded from Android 13 all regions and Android 12 rollback all regions!
*I did not edit the oplus_update_engine_verify_disable property, I just let it be 0.
*I renamed the files from .zip.jar to .zip
I did lose all my data when rolling back, but did not lose anything when upgrading to Android 13 and changing region. I immediately installed the newest A13 beta using the built-in updater, formated my phone right after it, and then rooted with magisk.
Now I have an up-to-date rooted global version of One Plus 10T (Ace Pro)1
perfect, bro. the phone is a little smoother, actually, I can link the phone to a brazilian phone number and I dont get indian language websites sometimes, like when I open facebook using the browser.
