ROG Phone 5 Tencent Edition with Global/International ROM

[Justins]

hello, i want to buy ROG phone 5 from my local online marketplace, there's seller who sell at quite attractive price there and he says its tencent edition with international / global ROM. Any thought on this from mods ? @Gustav_ASUS @Anders_ASUS should i take precaution as ROG phone 3/2 or is this safe on ROG Phone 5 ? thanks. (The sellers said FOTA is safe this time with rog phone 5)

The ASUS Unlock Tool can only be used once and in your case unfortunately, it was done by whoever flashed the device for you to WW rom.

You can try the following link (Moderators - please remove if I am not allowed to post this link😞

Unfortunately the developer options on my phone doesn't have OEM unlocking option as well.
Which makes that fastboot option impossible also

You need to enable developer options and allow usb debugging. From there, you can do fastboot.

I am not sure if it's the same for ROG 5, but ROG 2 - you need to connect the USB to the side port of your phone when using Fastboot. So if it doesn't work using the bottom port, use the side port.
