Convert Nokia 7+ from China Variant to Global

El Cap on 30/07/2018 - 13:14

I bought a Chinese version of Nokia 7 plus from this
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/386139

Now, I'd like to convert it to Global version.

There is a link at XDA on how to do this.

I am not sure this works, and what software I should use to root the device before following those instructions.

Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Doesn't look like you need to root the device.

Download and Rename B2N-3050-0-00WW-B01-update.zip to B2N-3050-0-00CN-B01-update.zip, and put it to root directory.

Root directory means main folder.

Open dialler and Dial ##874## to update.

After you updated to Android P, you can either enjoy Android P Beta or downgrade to B2N-213B-0-00WW-B05-update.zip with the same method. Remember downgrade to B2N-213B will erase data.

  Thanks a lot for this. I am not sure what is the main folder is. Is it the folder called Android.
  
  Looks like the dialer has some * as in s#s#874#s#s

Maybe I need to find a professional to help me to this.

Did you manage to get it working? I got mine this week, managed to load a global version on it, but all the google services (play store/google account/mail) are not working…
