General [WARNING] Calling stops working outside of China for the Chinese version

[konrad5739]

I think, it has to save somewhere the 10 times of the popup and only when the popup appears, it is blocked. The 10 seconds before, after restart, it works normal. Only a reset of the phone, resets the counter of the popup.

I can tell that it definitely isn't using the boot_count property from Settings.Global.
Probably there is some hidden config file that is storing the launches of com.android.phone and it can be on the /data partition or on one of /my_*

I am sure that i dont do 10 restarts on my device and it is blocked (max 3 restarts). It tooks about two weeks.. i belive that counting of popup are important

Anyone with flame blocking on the oneplus ace2?

 

[kikoleboss]

Have you sent the phone to the official OnePlus service ?
What ROM do you have ? Oxygen or Color ?
What variant do you have ?
I am asking because I am gonna sent device to unlock region lock to the official service.

I send to service one plus in Poland deblocked call but can't do nothing for update A11
I have color Os (php110 A09 only color os)
I don't know why I'm update block too at 99,9% stop and error

yes, heard also, but what is the sense, when sending an Oxygen Oneplus 11 to a OPPO / ONEPLUS support and they install Color Os with no REGION Lock. Most of the customers want Oxygen Os.

And doesn't matter if Indian or Chinese Version.

UK resident here - I bought a OnePlus 11 from Wonda and got the region lock after a couple of weeks. I contacted OnePlus support centre in the UK who agreed to fix. I've received the phone back from them today and it won't boot up but is stuck on a "the download process is incomplete. please try again. The Phone will shutdown after 55 seconds." I will contact them back tomorrow and complain, given they have taken a (largely) working phone and bricked it.

Is anyone aware of a fix for the error message I'm getting now? Thankfully I did a full backup prior to sending back to them so if a hard reset is required, I can live with that to get a working phone.

Can you tell me which service they advised you? UK oneplus support wanted fix my device by sending to SBE Ltd. I contacted with that service and they answered me ,,Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we cannot unlock region locked devices so we cannot fix your device's issue". I decided not waste time and did one more time hard reset with hope that soon someone will find way to fix that issue.

It was SBE and they had advised that they would apply the fix to remove the region lock.

I think that this article can be helpful in some cases: https://androplus.org/en/entry/oplus-region-lock-china-hardware/
I have tried this *#3988691# code but the only thing I have is "the device has been unlocked" and the locking after 10 reboot still occurs. I can not test the Magisk module.

I think the blocking is somewhat associated with your imei and the imei database record in oneplus server. Before I get my unlocking done by oneplus service center, my phone CANNOT be registered with oneplus redcarpet program nor any oneplus cloud services, but then, after I bring official export receipt to oneplus service center and did the unlocking process, my phone is now recognized and can register oneplus cloud services with imei registrations.

I can do calling functions normally,

HOWEVER the brightness bugs and any bugs you guys mentioned still exist, also I CANNOT update from 2447.A06 to any other versions released incrementally, I did ask the oneplus worker, as they say they check from their oneplus systems A06 is the newest for my phone, which is the chinese model 16/512 flashed to OOS 2447.A06.

That region locking need to be just on global rom?! It is impossible that they add this to every rom. Imagine that you live in China, you will go for holiday and your phone will be Locked during this time?! They cant do that.

Got an information from an friend

"I was talking with oneplus service and this time they say they wont fix it coz its from china... weird thing considering earlier thay said they will, so better not risk with it. "

was to be expected. Why Oneplus should erase the lock in every Service center in the world when customer ask for it, when they made the region lock in the first place. Therefore, some geek has to find a solution, don't expect Oneplus will do it for you.

Got my phone (Chinese OP11 512GB) back earlier this week from SBE (UK repair) and all is now working fine. Weirdly it came back with a black back cover (I bought the green version) but this doesn't bother me. IMEI number is the same, listed as model CPH2447 with oxygen on version A09. No region lock messages anymore and all seems pretty stable.

The test will be in a couple of weeks to be sure the region lock won't kick in again. Fingers crossed for you.

Its seems due to not clear instruction to local oppo/oneplus service center. Once local center clear about solution, they will help to others.
Hope this is just a bug and will solve in upcoming colos OS 13.1.

You see and you hope, but if not. I don't think that Oneplus will add a lock and than everybody can ask to disable the lock, what would be the point and as I see. Yes, most of the users, that got the unlock, got flashed back to color os. But most people that buy from China, would like to have Oxygen os and when to get the region lock away means flashing Color Os, there is no reason to buy it in the first place.
