Hello. Could you try this magisk module:

GitHub - AndroPlus-org/magisk-module-oplus-cn2global

Contribute to AndroPlus-org/magisk-module-oplus-cn2global development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Probably it can help - I hadn't tested it

It is for COS so i cant check it on mine device. I got OxygenOS and still waiting for best solution for me

Please let us know who has already tried

I tried just now, 18 April. Good clear simple site, entered my IMSI number, Thailand, then ASI as network. Cook for a minute then got "not available".
Disappointment.

I managed finally to recover and root my oneplus 11 thanks to QLM flasher developer help,

I did get the region lock message, was planning to go visit oppo to unlock it, but! I did *#3988691# and it said device been unlocked!

I hope it really is (which will be very funny solution!)

The "Has been unlocked" msg is false. Say that on basis of getting that msg but finding phone still locked. Seller for my 16/512 is sending me China SIM card which is supposedly a fix. Will see, but resolved no more OP (after OP 2 onward), will get the Google Pixel 8 in October.

Where you had bought your device ?

 

[tstar99]

I supported OnePlus many years. OnePlusOne, OnePlus 3,, OnePlus7 Pro, OnePlus 9R, OnePlus 10R. OnePlus 11 may be my last OnePlus devices if they keep on this kinds of customer unfriend policy ( region lock)

I have One Plus history much same as yours but did not get the First, too late. Had some fun changing ROMs and generally much love. My last was OP 6T gave strong feeling looking forward to the . Now my thoughts have changed to never byby, never again OP. Have a Google Pixel 4a arriving tomorrow, but that is just an intermediate warmup thingy, much looking forward to Pixel 8 in October. Note the 7 is reputedly excellent` but I really want the 5X optical telephoto, and no messing around with locks.

Realme shop at AliExpress in Shenzen. Buy something there every month but more at Lazada here in Thailand. Excellent delivery service. AliBaba is great selling service.

I resolved it at end by sending to oppo .. in 5 min , they have special software

After hard reset i dont do any reset of device. I get 5 notifications about blocking voice calls, one week and device is blocked again :/

 

[mercurytoxic]

If they did this to someone then they should do same to rest?!?! They making some restriction to break them down. Really stupid for me what they doing

It's not. They're not trying to punish consumers, makes sense to help them. They're trying to make it difficult for resellers of grey market.

Hi, I live in Melbourne, Australia. Recently bought a 1+11 16/512 from China. I've read about the region lock feature for phones intended for the Chinese market, I've also read that Oneplus service center can remove the lock. I'd like to know if this is possible and where would my closest service center be.

Thanks in advance,
John Doe

Hi John,

Thank you for contacting OnePlus Support!

I am Christopher Leo, your support representative who will be assisting you with your concern.

From your email I understand that you are unable to use the OnePlus 11 device from the Australia region. I would like to apologies for the inconvenience caused.

I would like to inform you that the Chinese variant OnePlus 11 device is carrier locked for the Chinese region and the device will not be able to use in different region without unlocking the network.

Hence, I would request you to please contact the point of purchase and get the device unlocked. You can also contact the Chinese support team for further assistance as we do not have any official service center in Australia region.

You can also contact the Chinese support team. For that refer to the following link and find the support team details from the bottom of the page.

Best Regards,
Christopher Leo

The note from C. Leo of OnePlus explains the source of the problem. I have the problem after buying from seller on AliExpress. This seller is not very helpful and refuses my RETURN of this dysfunctional - phone that does not do phone function here in Thailand - device. My longer term solution is to buy the Google Pixel 8 when it appears in October. Will continue using my older OP 6T, which works very well.

You can't buy OP11 in Thailand officially?

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

Got my phone back yesterday, after the initial "fix" by SBE removed the region lock and bricked my phone (they clearly hadn't tested it before posting back). Returned the next day and got it back in five days, now wiped (as expected) but calls working so the region lock is gone. I had a full backup so phone is now working as it should, thankfully.

There are several shops in Thailand at Lazada claiming "official One Plus" sales. There are also many more offering OP 11 at prices that are far lower than the Official shops. I count on the real buyers and their reports on the sales, such seem nonexistent at the low-cost locales. I would much advise against buying at these and know of some proven swindles. There is an official Oppo store and service in Bangkok, and I intend to visit there with my dydfunctional OP 11.

If they are selling either CPH2449 or CPH2451 versions, I see no issues ;-)
