[fahadsgalaxy]

Hi Guys,

im planing to get a Sony X900H, but I am currently located in china and the same model is sold here under a different name and also comes without Netflix and Google apps.

I wanna know is there someway for me to change the firmware ? and install the US firmware on it so I can get the Google apps and Netflix ?

I haven't bought the tv yet.

but something tells me it probably won't work on it. the same tv is sold here but under different model number variant.

I guess they might be region locked which may prevent on installing firmware from other regions.

but I was still hoping if there is some work around
