- global rom nex s vivo
Do we know what contacts need to be jumped, I'm pretty handy with phone repair and the nex isn't too bad to take apart. If I could get it open and get into 9008 EDL mode what could I accomplish from there?
This is my guess for now. Because we try almost all software methods, and none works. Many last vivo phones had hardware EDL lock. Maybe vivo uses some kind of special USB cables or controllers to enter EDL, i dont know, but this is possibly. My friend from vivo SC in Russia saw, that he not have an information about EDL. He uses only autorized copy of AFT to reflash that phones, and only with stock ROM. All these phones is on warranty now and if there is any serious problems with motherboard(damaged boot or recovery etc) he should replace the mainboard for free and return damaged item to vivo.
Yes only that way maybe works by modifying image so AF tool recognizes global rom as being Chinese and that’s how manage flashing global rom to Chinese version

I think that it's useful reading this blog https://alephsecurity.com

Maybe a skilled developer like @topjohnwu can help us
In short there is so far no way to convert the Chinese Nex S which many XDA members bought to the much more usable global rom and Vivo is refusing to help (which is a hilarious for a young company trying to earn global appreciation)
Maybe we can raise a fund and donate the device in order help solve the problem

The only way to flash global into chinese nex without entering EDL is to patch global images in such way, so the bootloader in chinese phone can recognize it like a chinese version.
To enter EDL, phone disassembling and using PCB tespoints is required. Maybe there is a way to enter EDL using special service cable(USB_C contains a lot of methods for connected device identification). This cable(if it exists) can be only on the factory, ordinary service centers does not have it. Alternatively, appropriate fastboot command and an unlock code may be applicable - these adb tools just translate your commands to the host via driver and no more. So we need to disassemble bootloader code to get full commands and arguments list.

In other words better grab the global version and not deal with any attempt flashing global rom to Chinese version .
Actually I’m already have in mind that scenario but unfortunately I don’t find the red global version that I want with reasonable price meaning maximum 570-580 euro.

This is hilarious honestly, vivo expects us to just throw away the 256gb Chinese version? This is not a cheap phone may I remind all
256 Gb is only chinese version. 128 Gb is enough for me.
Yes. But most of the chinese 128 gb phones was bought before any global version arrived. These peoples want to change to glodal rom. In some cases there was a fraud from chinese traders on aliexpress, selling chinese phone with manually installed google as global. My friend just opened a case on ali and returned such phone and money.
Gearbest and groshoshopp is reliable source of purchasing global version.
But they are only selling black color not red one.
Hope within October see much more availability of red color.
I can deal with 128gb and gone sell my 256 Chinese version.
