How to flash Red Magic 3 official global ROM (firmware)

If you bought the Chinese variant of Red Magic 3 and wish to install the global firmware on the phone, follow the instructions on this page carefully to guide you.

Before you proceed with the migration to global ROM on your Red Magic 3 you should take note of the following:

• This is not device software or firmware update. The flash file will completely reinstall the firmware on your phone to replace with global ROM
• In essence, you should back up all important data to cloud storage or other storage drive
• All data on the device must be wiped to avoid compatibility issues after the ROM has been installed- most apps and services on the Chinese firmware are not compatible with the Global ROM.
• Charge the phone to at least 50% to avoid interruption of the installation process
