How To Guide [TOOL] RAW Firmware for ROG Phone 6 - can be used for CN -> WW converting

[AndroPlus]

Too many people are trying to use firmware to make money, so I decided to release them for free!
I got them from a site that distributes them for $10.

How to flash:

1. Plug the USB Type-C cable into the port on the side
2. Reboot into bootloader
3. Extract RAW firmware zip and run flashall_AFT.cmd
4. You'll see "FLASH COMPLETE. RESTART!" when flashing is completed
5. Rebooting will open recovery, so do a Factory data reset.
6. Done!

(The guide is also on my blog)

The functionality of fingerprint sensor and Widevine L1 remain intact when flashing global RAW firmware on CN hardware.

How to delete HardwareStub notification:
Use my Magisk module.

You can extract boot.img from RAW firmware or payload.bin found in official OTA zip.

Good idea to create a separate thread for this, information has been spread around the forum so this makes it easy.

Thanks for sharing the firmware, more and more people should be receiving their devices so this will be useful. I think the mods should make this a sticky.

Re the magisk module for hardware stub notification - any way to get rid of the notification without having root? I will be selling my CN version of the device with WW hardware, so dont want to give the buyer a rooted phone.

I bought a 512GB global version of the device

One more question about your magisk module for the hwstub notification - will the fix remain if you root, flash the magisk module, and then remove magisk/root? or will it need the magisk module to be active on the phone to keep the fix?

Notification fix works only when Magisk module is active.
Maybe there's a way to fix without root, but I don't know.

Instead of using a Magisk module, you *might* be able to root, then use a non-invasive tool like App Manager (link below) with SU access to unflag POST_NOTIFICATION under App Ops for HW Stub and then remove root if that's what you really want. The solution should be permanent. I may be able to test it when I find some time, or you can have a go yourself and confirm. No risk of breaking anything:

Does this root the phone, if so would LSPosed and Island work? I'm planning to get the international/HK version of the 6 Pro since there's no warranty for CN models here. Or should I wait for TWRP instead?

No, this guide only flash stock global ROM.
You just need to extract boot.img by unpacking raw img, then patch it in Magisk app and flash it in fastboot: fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Well, that's kind of useless considering the one I am going to buy has the global rom.

You can root & run LSPosed on these devices with no issues. The WW (HK) version is great and it's a genuine global version which is the way to go (the only way to go if you ask me). I have the same WW-HK versions of 3 and 5 and have set up a same version 6 for someone, all rooted, running LSPosed and everything else 100% smooth. TWRP is not a must although definitely a nice to have once available for the 6.

Thanks!!

Could you also provide the boot.img & patched magisk boot.img from this raw file? I don't mind paying for it..

What people outside of cn buying the cn version don't understand is, it will probably not have the same 5g reception as the global version. A phone at that price range deserves some patience. Also you sure you have nfc on the cn hardware?

I couldn't use G Pay now because my play protection certification isn't certified after changing to WW rom running latest rom, bootloader locked & unrooted..
Safety net check all passed except for cts profile match fail..
I tried clearing data on services, play store & framework still can't get it solved..
Any solution other than using magisk/root to bypass it?

I'm thinking of buying the tencent version if everything goes well.

Did you change fingerprint to CN > WW ?

>When rooted, use ROOT EXPLORER APK
>Inside app, change MOUNT R/W to R/O.
>Navigate to the /Vendor/Factory
>Find file COUNTRY.
>Change CN to WW

It should stay permanent even after factory reset & unroot.
It worked well for me at least for my ROG Phone 2.

Yeah I did otherwise manually update would had failed since fingerprint not changed.

I did a re-flash back from provided raw firmware it got certified again but then after I did an update & wiped data, same issue cts profile match fail...

Just realize my fingerprint isn't WW upon checking from device info HW app. However going back the COUNTRY file in root explorer did show WW..

Any solution? I did a 2nd reflash of the WW raw firmware still no change..

Any solution?

Also, tapping "mount r/w" has no changes in ROOT explorer but I have root checker checked..
