Where did you download it? That firmware27 page doesn't have a proper link

1.16.5 vs 1.7.14 ... No idea why you cannot flash it. I didn't try.

16 is more than 7

I asked Vivo about firmware change. They said it is not possible, if I want to have firmware from India I have to buy phone in India, phones from China can have only Chinese firmware.

 

[severakk]

there must be a way to change firmware with the global ... we just need to understand how

 

[paatha13]

Well if Anyone find a way let"s share it.

With a global rom the amount of devs increases which may have the positive effect that someone finds a way...

But hardware wise they are they same right?

How do you flash? Where can I download AFTool?

I have a nex s and am eager for a way to move to the global rom too .

I tried in recovery mode, there is a option to install a update.

Before changing to the global version, is it not better to wait return from some indian customer ?

Until now i'm pretty happy with the chinese version.

Me too after uninstalling some 20 Chinese bloatware via settings menu + 25 further via adb I’m completely satisfied with smoothness,stability and great battery life.

Don’t actually need global version as I don’t use google assistance and bloatware issue being resolved 100%

How did you do that with adb?
And what apps did you safe remove??

My main motivation for a global rom is to replace Jovi with Google Assistant; also would like to get rid of Vivo account altogether.

I would probably wait for the HK version though; Indian ROM might have some other localisation features I don't need.

Just watched the Indian version
It is all global
I'm ordering one now

Did installing the indian rom over the Chinese rom work in recovery mode? If so, would it be possible to get a quick list of steps/directions so i can do same? I downloaded the Indian ROM but haven't yet tried to install it. Would prefer to have the global rom vs. China ROM. Thanks!
