[PSA] Take caution - Tencent-branded Chinese models with "Global/International ROM"

[CH_ASUS]

Hi all

We have come to notice there are resellers selling the so-called "Tencent ROG Phone II"-models for the Chinese market with "International ROM".

We would like to make clear that ASUS does not officially sell any Tencent-branded ROG Phone II with so called "International ROM" or "Global firmware".
We cannot guarantee the functionality of this combination , if you are facing any type of issues - please turn to your reseller where you bought this device - as this is is not a combination we are selling.

Please also take careful note that updates/FOTA functionality will be disabled since the ROM and the models dont match, some resellers note this in the fine-print.. some may not..

Extra info:
If you are seeing anything about a "Global ROM version" or "Tencent with Global/WW ROM" it would be a clear giveaway.

I have a tencent phone that had a global image, but the fingerprint was still CN.

My Asus rog phone 2 keeps restarting ever since I updated in March. Several updates afterwards have not fixed the problem. It's is very very annoying and I feel like crying each time I use my phone. My phone that I saved a lot to buy. I'm highly disappointed

I have a tencent edition with the WW_PHONE_16.0622.1906.19 version. I tried to update manually but it fails and also the CTS profile match was false. I unlocked the bootloader, tried to root the phone but it didn`t work as well. Any idea of what to do?
