Anyone who has used Tuke knows that it cannot be used in China, because its system blocks SIM cards from domestic carriers, so if you use a domestic network, you cannot log in. If you want to use the international version of Tuke in China, you must use a foreign SIM card or a foreign network node to bypass the system block. But no matter which of these two methods you use, you can't avoid one issue: your phone needs to have the international version of Tuke that can be used in China installed.
Because Tuke is aimed at foreign markets and is developed based on the Google framework, and domestic phone systems have basically removed the Google framework, it cannot be installed normally. This means we need to use specific methods to reinstall the Google framework, and then install Tuke. Next, I will share with you the most reliable method to install the international version of Tuke that can be used in China: remove the SIM card, use a VPN, and then install Tuke. The VPN acts as an accelerator, providing a stable and fast fixed IP, which helps everyone enjoy watching videos smoothly.
First, what we need to do is remove all SIM cards from the phone to prevent the software from detecting them (don’t think about disabling the SIM card, I’ve tested it and it doesn’t work), then install a "VPN tool" and a "Google Installer" on your phone. The VPN tool allows us to access Google normally, and the Google Installer lets us install the Google framework, Google Play Store, and other apps. Next, open the VPN tool and Google Play Store, search for and download Tuke. Then download the Fake Location app to set a virtual location for your phone. Finally, use the VPN, open Tuke, and it becomes the international version of Tuke that can be used in China.
This method is currently the simplest (if you don’t consider the VPN issue), but everyone should note that when using Tuke, the phone you installed it on will be disconnected from the network. So the most perfect solution is to prepare a spare phone specifically for Tuke. Don’t get yourself disconnected just to figure out how to use the international version of Tuke in China.
