Hi all, I just need MID_Changer_v1.02-TWRP.zip for pixel 4a 5g. When I installed it, there was no prompt. Obviously that is for Pixel 5. Can anyone share it for Pixel 4a 5G and which model should I select? Thank you so much.
You can use this module: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...xel-6-to-global-version.4365275/post-86025249 if it helps you.
Thanks but I need to root it first, right?
I tried to install the zip file via TWRP -> install -> select zip file throws an error which says update process ended with error: 1
I rooted my device installed the Magisk module: MID_Changer_v2.07-MAGISK.zip
This is what I got.
C:\platform-tools>adb shell bramble:/ $ su bramble:/ # MID_Changer.sh ******************************************** * Google Pixel MID Changer v2.07 by @ziand * ******************************************** Current device info: Product ID: bramble Model ID: ↔1 Unknown Model ID. Exit
This is what I got.

Especially to avoid such cases there is a script: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...xel-6-to-global-version.4365275/post-86025249
If you didn't make a copy of your original partition, you can send me to PM the wrong one. I will try to help you.
Were your attempts successful?
I am about to buy a Japanese Pixel 5A. It looks like you don't recommend buying the Japanese versions of Pixels. Why so?
Because you will have to go through all the process of removing their stupid shutter sound of the camera (see my previous replies).
I thought it would be quite easy to install a Gcam mod like PixelatedFox described here. Am I wrong with this statement?
That's different. I never installed a Gcam mod. All I wanted was to get the option to disable the shutter sound in the official camera app. That's not possible if the phone is Japanese, so you need to go through all the process I described in order to make Android believe that the phone is not Japanese.
i just bought google pixel 5a and upgrade it to android 13. Anyone try with newest android version? The shutter noise just so annoying. Even when i screenshot my screen.
thank for your work for make module. camera and screenshot is silent now on pixel 5 A12.

I confirm it's working on a Pixel 5 imported from Japan. For anyone who might need more help, this is how I did it coming from Android 12. Root is not needed. Your data will be lost, so make a backup.
1. Unlock your bootloader and downgrade to Android 11. For this I followed this guide until step 6 (including step 6). Something it's not mentioned in the guide is that on Windows, you'll have to also install this driver first.
2. In Android 11, download the file from step 3 and leave it there in Downloads: MID_Changer_v1.02-TWRP.zip
3. Boot to TWRP. For this I followed this video until minute 4.03. In minute 4.04, when it tells you to flash the TWRP, instead I used the command fastboot boot filename.img, just to make it a temporary boot.
4. From TWRP, I chose Install and then I looked for the previous .zip. When installing, I simply swiped to install, I didn't change any option.
5. I chose GTT9Q Model ID as indicated.
6. I restarted and I flashed the latest Android 12 (like in step #1).
7. I restarted again, and locked the bootloader, following the first guide.
No more Japanese crap.3
Ok.
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. Boot to TWRP. Today it is test9 version and it works on Android 11 (So, downgrade if you are on A12)
3. From TWRP run (menu - install) this script: MID_Changer_v2.10-MAGISK-TWRP.zip
4. Choose GTT9Q Model ID (it is Euro Union, Australia) for changing
5. Flash global version Factory Image with device wiping (it can be A12 one)
6. Lock the bootloader. Done

Got my Japan Pixel 6 today. Turns out the SKU info is stored in devinfo partition. Replace the original "GR1YH" with global SKU "GB7N6" and it's done. No wipe/reflash required.
Thank you!2
