I know the phone has yet to release but what are the chances that the Tencent Version of ROG Phone 2 (8GB/128GB) able to flash to the stock ASUS ROG Phone 2 (12GB/512GB) version? Any ROM developers can answer?

asking here first before I plan to get the tencent version of the ROG Phone 2.

hello
Tencent version is only for China : ro.build.display.id=PKQ1.190414.001.CN_Phone-16.0620.1906.18-0
Word Wide version is : ro.build.display.id=PKQ1.190414.001.WW_Phone-16.0620.1906.31-0
and you cannot flash a WW firmware on a CN device

Did you try or just a prediction?

 

[yakapa40]

only working for some old zenfone devices :
you must flash a RAW firmware ( recovery.img inside ) with Asus Flash Tool.cmd
and at this time the only WW RAW firmware we have is without recovery.img

hi, thanks for replying. There's a few question i wanna ask..

What does the recovery.img file do?
looking at ASUS' history, do you think they gonna provide the recovery.img file?

 

[yakapa40]

for old devices :
with recovery.img :
you can downgrade android version
you can reflash another SKU firmware
but since zenfone 5Q i never seen recovery.img in ASUS raw firmwares
exemple with zenfone 5Q ZC600KL recovery.img

SKU :
SKU Stock Keeping Unit


CMCC China Mobile Communications Corporation
CTCC China Telecom
CUCC China Unicom

CN version: ChiNa
ID/IN/TH version: InDonesia INdia THailand
WW version: WordWide
US/BR version: United States BRazil
TW/JP/HK/SG/PH version:Taiwan JaPan Hong-Kong SinGapore PHilippines

If it is an A/B slot device, there isn't a recovery.img anymore.

The tencent version you mentioned is the 8GB/128GB without HDR right？

The tencent version you mentioned is the 8GB/128GB without HDR right？

Yes, It's 8+128 version. But with HDR support. Here is the info https://www.asus.com.cn/store/product-2661.html

The info on asus website shows difference before. In the google cached webpage, it says " Gaming HDR and Mobile HDR is supported by dedicated graphic chip." And now it is deleted.

Sorry for not delete the original Chinese sentence.

Mod edit: Translation by Google Translate inserted.

The official website is a bit fascinating. The earliest 3499 and 5999 are different. I have deleted it today. The difference is "Gaming HDR and Mobile HDR are supported by a dedicated hardware display chip", and now I am confused by the deletion of this sentence.

********************************************
官网有点迷，最早3499和5999是有区别的，今天再看已经删除了。区别内容为“Gaming HDR 和 Mobile HDR 由专用硬件显示芯片所支持”，现在这句话删除了我也一头雾水。

hey, i don't know if this would work but i've found this video from a forum that someone managed to flash an ASUS phone ROM from CN to WW version OR WW to CN version using this steps --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us6qIvdK-TM

my question is if the device has different RAM and internal storage capacity, does it matter? or there needs to be more modification of the file in order to do so?

IMO, no modification needed. For example:
Moto z3: Chinese version flash to verizon(us) version which memory and storage size are different, just flash all work fine.

let's just hope that's the case because this phone has no 8GB/128GB of the normal stock asus ROG phone 2 whereas the example you given has, still i'm crossing my fingers that you're right.
