You can see that ViVo has some delay with this one ...

https://www.firmware27.com/2018/07/firmware-vivo-pd1805f.html

PD1805F_EX_A_1.7.14 in this India unboxing video (5:34)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOm2c-VBPZ4

I tried to install on chinese model, but i get error ''The upgrade software version installed is lower than the current usage version'' Chinese model is here on PD1805_A_1.16.5.

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

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.

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

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%

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.

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!

    "I totally understand your feelings. As I said previously, the phone you purchased is designed for Chinese users. Actually, we don't encourage our Vivo fans who live outside of China to purchase Chinese version phones."

    Good thing they advertised it all world cup, can't see how anyone would get the wrong impression /s

    Where can I find a Vivo Nex global stock ROM usable with QFIL?

    I don't know about global ROM link, in any form. All, what i found in net for this time, was chinese or indian versions. I think we should wait some time - global version phones was launched only ten days ago.
    My NEX S 8/128 SD845 with EU ROM will arrive in my postal office tomorrow or a day after. I`ll try to extract partition images from it using AFTool.

    If someone will be able to extract partitions images from global device, it can be used to reflash chinese phones.

    Yeah i know thats how it works.
    Vivo Rom is great even chinese one but i would prefer more Oxygen style :p
    But as a said i realy like this phone that's why i'm keeping it as i found all the tips to work as i want and behaves more like a western standard OS than chinese one:D

    I'dont even have any kind chinese app installed(completely remove them)and only theme store watching chinese staff but that's no issue at all.

    All notification manage to work like a charm and really enjoying Vivo Nex(yes it has some few disadvantages more hardware relited(no wireless charging or no NFC) but hey nobady perfect right??)

    Every device out there has it's own disadvantages.

    How do you get Google Assistant to work consistently?

    Every few days it tells me 'the Google app isn't your default assist app' and asks me to go to setting. But once I done that it reverts back and give me the same error message.

    I need to flash the global ROM asap; but any workaround at the meantime?

    The rom file downloadable in this link:

    https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1-gwlN7OwFTDiQNWkV0va3FaeD8Bf8aLc&export=download


    is flashable via Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL)?

    I will have a go tonight.
