How to Flash Global Firmware to Chinese XREAL Beam Pro & Root Guide
(Making the Chinese XREAL Beam Pro function like the global version)

Credit goes to Reddit users u/Fit_Werewolf_7846 and u/Otherwise_Chemist369 for taking the risk of flashing the global firmware onto the Chinese XREAL Beam Pro. Additional credit goes to u/Opposite_Teach_9410 for discovering the method to root the XREAL Beam Pro and for creating the original rooting guide.

Note: This guide is based on information shared by the users mentioned above, along with some additional information I knew or came across. Most of the details related to flashing global firmware on the Chinese XREAL Beam Pro come from u/Otherwise_Chemist369. I do not own a Chinese XREAL Beam Pro myself, so I have not personally tested this process. If you run into issues, I may not be able to help. Please proceed at your own risk.
 

⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️
I am not responsible for any damage to your device. Rooting and/or flashing the global firmware on a Chinese XREAL Beam Pro is risky—proceed at your own risk.

Rooting the device or flashing it to the global firmware voids your warranty. The warranty DOES NOT cover rooted devices or devices that have been flashed to the global version.
This guide is for the XREAL Beam Pro only, NOT the original XREAL Beam.

Important notes, issues, and warnings before starting (PLEASE READ)

Check back after rooting or flashing global firmware on your Chinese XREAL Beam Pro
Note #1: Rooting your device, unlocking the bootloader, or flashing a different firmware (such as a custom ROM or a global version on a Chinese model) can cause the issues listed below. This may affect DRM streaming and banking apps. Some streaming apps may block access or updates, and banking apps are usually stricter about root detection. Because of this, the solutions below may not fix every issue. You may also need to keep modules updated from time to time to continue meeting app requirements.
Note #2: Check out the guide "[GUIDE][HOWTO] Use banking apps on your rooted device" on the XDA forums to properly install the necessary Magisk modules and apps for getting banking apps to work. The guide mentions the Nothing Phone, but the steps should work the same way on the XREAL Beam Pro.

• ​Data Wipe:
  Rooting, unlocking the bootloader, or flashing global firmware will result in a full data wipe on the XREAL Beam Pro. Be sure to back up all important data before proceeding. Once the firmware is flashed, all existing data will be permanently erased.

• Unlocking Bootloader May Be Required:
  Flashing global firmware may require an unlocked bootloader. Reddit user u/Otherwise_Chemist369 reported that they were able to flash global firmware on the XREAL Beam Pro with an unlocked bootloader and no root. They also mentioned that they relocked the bootloader afterward, but weren’t sure if having it unlocked was the reason the flash worked. A knowledgeable contact believes the unlocked bootloader was likely the reason flashing global firmware on the Chinese XREAL Beam Pro succeeded.
  If you want to test flashing global firmware without unlocking the bootloader, feel free to give it a try and share your results on the message boards.

• Bootloop risk:
  After flashing global firmware, you may encounter a bootloop where the device continuously reboots. A factory reset / full data wipe may be required to restore normal operation.

• Google certification (required):
  Once global firmware is installed, you must register your XREAL Beam Pro on Google’s uncertified device registration page, then log into your XREAL account via Android settings.

  Note #1: According to Reddit user u/Fit_Werewolf_7846, this was a necessary step to properly install and run apps through the Google Play Store. Reddit user u/Otherwise_Chemist369 also reported that a warning message would pop up every few seconds saying the device was uncertified. Registering the device with Google stopped the constant warnings.
  Note #2: Google certification can take 6 or more hours to complete, so the status may not update immediately.

• Google Play “Device not certified” issue:
  You can check your certification status in Google Play Store > Profile icon > Settings > About (scroll to the bottom for Play Protect certification).
  If it says Device is not certified, try tapping “Fix device issue.”
  Note: Reddit user u/Otherwise_Chemist369 mentioned that registering the device with Google stopped the constant warning messages, but did not fix the “Device is not certified” status shown in the Google Play Store settings. Fixing that issue may require rooting the XREAL Beam Pro. He chose to leave the device as is, and after about a month, reported that he was using it daily as his main media device for the glasses, with Widevine L1 working in Netflix.

• If certification still fails:
  You may need to root the device and install the YuriKey Magisk module (plus additional modules for Strong Integrity).
  Refer to the “How to get Strong Integrity?” section here:
  https://github.com/Yurii0307/yurikey?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-get-strong-integrity-

  Warning: Rooting or lack of certification may prevent some apps (banking, streaming, etc.) from working. Compatibility is not guaranteed, and Play Integrity status should be checked at least once a month.
  Note: I’ve had my XREAL Beam Pro rooted since late July 2024 and haven’t run into any issues with streaming apps, even during times when I forgot to check my Play Integrity status or keep Magisk modules fully up to date. Streaming apps have continued to play in Widevine L1 HD quality. That said, I haven’t tested any banking apps, since I don’t use banking apps on the XREAL Beam Pro. Still, it’s best to keep everything up to date to pass all checks, just in case.

• Play Integrity levels:
  Google Play Integrity has three levels:
  Basic Integrity, Device Integrity, and Strong Integrity.
  Most apps work with Basic or Device Integrity, but some require all three.

  To check:

  1. Open Google Play Store

  2. Profile icon > Settings > About

  3. Tap Play Store version multiple times to enable Developer Options

  4. Go to General > Developer Options > Play Integrity > Check integrity

  5. Passing all checks will show:

     MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY, MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY, MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY
     Alternative (Easier) Way to Check Google Play Integrity:
     You can use the “Play Integrity API Checker” app from the Google Play Store to quickly check your device’s integrity status

• Hiding root (Recommended):
  You may need to hide Magisk to prevent root detection. This can be done in Magisk settings, which renames the app, often to “Settings”, and changes the app’s package name to something unique so it’s less likely to be detected.

• Ethernet detection issue (glasses):
  Note: Reddit user u/Fit_Werewolf_7846 mentioned that they needed to disable TCP/IP from the glasses’ OSD to launch nebulaOS and ensure network-based apps work properly, as the glasses were detecting and overriding the Wi-Fi connection. According to them, this may be because they have both Chinese and global firmware versions installed. I haven’t run into this issue myself with my global version of the XREAL Beam Pro.
  To disable this:

  1. Go to Other (5th navigation icon) on the glasses on-screen display (OSD)

  2. Scroll to page 3

  3. Highlight Serial Number

  4. Press and hold the Mode button to open the Developer page

  5. Disable TCP/IP
     Note: TCP/IP may need to be enabled to access nebulaOS on the XREAL Beam Pro and to perform firmware updates on the glasses.

• Final note:
  There may be additional issues when flashing global firmware onto a Chinese model that are not yet documented. Proceed at your own risk.​
