[Refurbished] Oppo Find X2 Pro 5G 12GB/512GB (B Grade) $429 Shipped @ Phonebot

201

Considering $750 is the current new price, $429 shipped seems decent for a refurbished unit (more like used but with warranty). Specs wise; the ram, storage and screen are strong points and future proof, whilst software and dated chipset is bit meh.

    Single sim is the deal breaker for me. Wish it had esim.

    These are easily switched to dual sim with a firmware flash which is incredibly easy to do on this phone, not like other Android phones from the past. Then just pick up a dual sim slot from Ali for a few dollars.
    Owned this since the $594 deal last year and it has been an amazing phone which I cannot fault.
    Specs wise it's about on par with the Samsung s20 ultra.

    • Can you please share a link of how to do so?

        To Change the Region/Carrier on your OPPO FIND X2 PRO Telstra Variant to Retail Version ""AUSTRALIA_EX"

        DUAL SIM=====EDIT: DUAL SIM does work by Choosing SINGAPORE_EX however you will require to buy dual sim tray from EBAY or Aliexpress and get that sim tray sand down to fit.

        First of all if u on C62+ firmware unfortunately the Region/Carrier Change method has been disable there for only way to get around this is to Bring the phone back to OPPO service center and get them to Roll the phone back to Andriod 10 ….apparently they can't refuse it coz C62 Andriod Auto still freeze with AOD/Screen Off ….once you roll back to older firmware by then the Change region/Carrier method will works!!
        Pre-Work
        Most important thing to get the OPPO Free unlock Tool 1.0 "Sec5.exe" working we need to give it address to look up to there for you need to install microsoft loopback network adapter
        here is a example how to do it in WINDOWS 10 …..WIN7/8 will be abit different!!
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj2AJZTN5M0
        then after u sucessfully add the virtual "Microsoft loopback network adapter"

        Open Device Manager on your Windows computer.
            Expand the Network Adapters category and find your Ethernet adapter. Double click on it to open its properties.
            Go to the Advanced tab and find the Network Address option in the Property panel.
            Under the Value panel, Select the radio button.
        

        In the text box next to it, paste in the following: 704D7B61ABCD
        Then u need to disable all other Wired network adapters ….and u need to use wireless to get on internet for this to work !!
        There is 2 method to do this method 1 is using the Sec5 tool and instal ADB driver for ur phone and use the tool to unlock the phone …..i dont recommend doing it this way as its abit more complicated
        therefore we gonna just focusing on Method 2 which its much more simple and striaght forward which is using Sec5 tool to generate Token code to unlock the phone and make it allow region/carrier change !!

        Open your phone apps Dial *#9434# and click on authtokendecrypt, Now you should see IMEI and Time stamp on your phone ....at this point do not exit this screen or restart the phone coz Time stamp will change and render the token generating process invalid
        Open the Sec5.exe and enter the IMEI and Time stamp into it
        then Click on generate token button then u should be able to see a bunch of number and letters
        

        EDIT: this require internet to work as i been told if it saids error on the first time generating token thats normal just click on the generate token button again as it require to Internet to work so if u don't have Wireless network on your PC u can always PM me to generate the code for you. BTW if it didn't work with the token it generate double check the time stamp as that often change if u re-start the phone , or time has pass by etc!!

        now enter the token on to your phone in the token blank and click authtokendecrypt.....at this stage if everything went smoothly you should see everything turn Green !!
        now minmise everything and reopen your phone apps and dial *#3954391# then you should see "switch activated"
        then Dial *#391#
        Now you should see on your screen showing up bunch of region/Carrier
        choose "AUSTRALIA_EX" Retail Version of OPPO FIND X2 PRO
        

        Once you made your selection "AUSTRALIA_EX" then phone should be Rebooting and you done congrats on sucessfully convert your phone into Retail Version !!
        now go to setting => software update ….if u still on andriod 10 it should give u the option to go to Andriod 11 with C57 Firmware …..once u update your phone to C57 firmware go to check for software update again it should now offer you C68/C70/C73 Firmware !!

        DUAL SIM=====EDIT: DUAL SIM does work by Choosing SINGAPORE_EX however you will require to buy dual sim tray from EBAY or Aliexpress and get that sim tray sand down to fit.
        

        "before doing any System/software/firmware update make sure you have enough battery to last you through the process"

        • Thanks

        • Seems quite a process. Not for those who are less technically minded.

        • Hello, many thanks for this guide. Very helpful. Quick question if you don't mind.

          If I'm currently on Android 11 with C57 firmware, can I make it into dual SIM version? Do I need to downgrade to Android 10 first (and how if I need to), or I can just go ahead to change the region using the above method?

          Hope you don't mind advising.

          TIA.
          Cheers,

    Just keep in mind that B-Grade phones seem to have very noticeable chips and scratches

    I have this phone and I really don't rate it. But for the price, probably not a terrible option.

    • I have this phone and I really don't rate it.

      Why?

      • +1

        I have had this phone from new. Cost about $900 + around 18 months ago. While not being an expert in these matters, I think it's great.
        Negatives are the curved screen edges, the screen scratches easily, & I don't like the positioning of the volume buttons & on/off button(opposite sides of phone about midway) Too easy to inadvertently touch one.
        As I said, no expert but have not had a problem & expect it to last for years to come.

        Camera is really average, and I bought it for the camera. Beginning to think I might have a dud! Curved screen is also a pain and I've had a few software issues which require a restart to overcome.

    Got the x2 neo when it was $400 and has been amazing

  • I use mine as a music player since getting a Pixel 6 Pro. Great with 512GB, and I got it new for less than a 256GB iPod!

  • Never buy from Phonebot. You will end up wasting your time chasing your order, staying on phone for hours to resolve something small. These guys should be removed from Ozbargain for giving community hard time.
