This erased your data?! I need to do this US software doesn't come with dualsim , I think if I flash EU I will have dualsim

 

LinusJian , via OnePlus 8 Pro , Jun 8, 2020 :

No it won't, I've tried it myself.

Oh my God , I tried so hard not to return this phone but I don't have any other option

 

JulianLa , via OnePlus 6T , Jun 8, 2020 :

No it didn't wipe my data.

No knowledge of the US version of the phone unfortunately.

Has anyone done this in the US and still been able to keep 5g and google pay?

Changing your phone region will also change other things to the phone,like what type of signal will use or how will it connect to the internet,there is a reason why there are different updates for different regions

I tried It wont wipe your data
I upgrade from 10.5.7 NA to 10.5.7 EU

Dual SIM is blocked at hardware level for in2025 so it won't make a difference if you flash from global to EU, as above it may affect other things, there is no advantage to flashing a firmware for a hardware problem.

Thank you very much for posting this simple method. I succeeded to upgrade from 10.5.12.IN21AA to 10.5.12.IN21BA.No data or settings had been lost. Thank you again!

thanks it worked for me and now I got eu software

Sorry for delay! I have the IN2013 version(eu) but the firmware was global so that's the first motivation in doing this upgrade. Second, Oneplus 8 and the pro version doesn't have 5G activated yet, although some phone carriers implemented this technology in my country(Romania). Now with the eu firmware installed in my eu version phone, I hope there are more chances to get that 5G software update from Oneplus(I understand that this tech needs time, but it's equally true that I bought a 5G phone to use as a 5G phone - maybe somebody here will hear this request).
