Hello,
Recently bought a Honor V8 in one of the local (cheap) store but they selling phones with chinese rom. I would like to replace the original one with a global rom what i found here :victory:. After unlocking the boot loader (bye-bye guarantee), uploaded the update.zip onto the dload folder of the SD card. However the phone still complains and not accepting this as a valid firmware. Probably i need to use TWRP or similar tool for this task, but i would like to know if someone done this before or is it possible at all?
Many Thanks for your help!
its very risky since this device having different board and density size ! .
You can probably try and flash the original ROM again if it doesn't work. Not sure if it will break your phone using different versions
What's your phone model?

As a new member it's not permitted to ask this in "Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development" section, only here "Honor 8 Questions & Answers".
This is a new thread here. What do you exactly would like to suggest, shall I move it to somewhere else?

Some phones that are made only for the Chinese market will not be compatible with any new firmware. But always try to find the exact firmware that matches your device hardware before trying. The V8 is a completely different phone than the Honor 8. Do not try to use the Honor 8 firmware.
So I bought the Honor 8 in China. This means that when I swipe to the right (from the homepage) I can see Chinese news, instead of international or English. Is there some way of changing that. All I want to know is how to access the settings for that feature.
Thanks

Mine is also having that. I cant switch it to english. I cant also find a way changing that so I disabled it by pinching the screen and click setting and disable HiBoard.
Can you change the source of news or the app to extract news? If you have any specific question that I can help you ask in the Chinese Honor forum, just let me know.

That would be great.
I was wondering, if I could link the news function to another application, I would do that. I searched the device for the source of the news and wondered, if I deleted it, would it provide me with the option of replacing it with another.
If you could ask, I would be most grateful.

Just posted your question on the Chinese forum: http://club.huawei.com/thread-12103532-1-1.html
I'll keep an eye on it if there is any valuable solution.

From an authorized source, it seems impossible at this moment to change the news sources. But a feedback has been sent to the Huawei developer team. Hopefully, a future update can allow you to customize those functions. One suggestion given by them is to use a third party news source and ignore the Chinese news for now.
As the Chinese version of EMUI has more functionality, include more available Camera plugins and better AI designs, I hope you enjoy the default EMUI system, anyways.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem with Honor 9, would be happy to find a solution.
Thanks,

You could try to flash the global OTA ROM (i.e. B360 or B385).

Some things in the Chinese forum that were suggested:
-If you haven't yet, turn on your location and refresh the news
- they said news is based on you specifically, like Google now news, so maybe after time it will adapt to your likes.
*To speed this up you could try going into the settings of the news and click on things you like (English news that is)
Sorry, wasn't much else

There's one out there. But yeah, the lack of availability in the US seems to have killed developer interest.

Well ... I have founded a new ROM for this mobile. Based on MIUI 10.2.1
It is posted on russian forum: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895159&st=4140#entry90240414
You must update the firmware using TWRP. Remenber to do format and wipes on TWRP before install it.
I have test it on my x650 and it is great. Enviroment is nice and very fast, so it has 1 fault: no NFC control.
Languaje contains english, korean, chinese ... etc , but not spanish.
Good luck.

Why are u so butthurt? I only asked you if the fingerprint scanner works because I use it everyday and i also asked you to create a new thread so that everyone can see your work and eventually 'share their experiences'. You don't have to see it the wrong way

If you see the test pictures of the ROM on the russian web, you can see finger recognition working.
I am in the right way: You only must to see information in links has been gave, but is less work to ask people than read or see information which has been exposed. Actually people is too much lazy ....
Hi, anyone proven it on x657 model?
Still nothing...? Any modified original rom.i want yo get rid of Chinese apps....my phone installs apps with automatic pilot!!! It is too boring...

hmmm.. but how we can download it?
I have not been able to download it since the web does not load me
You will have to donate first(I guess), which I cant seem to find where or how to donate. If you find a download link, please share.
Update: DO NOT TRY TO PAY!!! THE GUIDE IS BADLY OUTDATED. JUST USE THE RESOURCES AND FREE METHODS.
If you want to try the paid method, you should definitely get in touch with the seller first. I don't know whether the previous sellers are active or not.
If you want to inform me of something important, please `@me`, (I missed many replies in the past years)

There seems to exist a new method: It is said to work on Qualcomm devices.
First, dump frp partion, then edit the value to 1 at 7fff0, finally, flash the modified frp image. then you can use fastboot command to unlock your phone.
This new method shall work for for ODM devices like 16T, 16x, 16xs and Note9 and so on. see FRP Method.
Below is the original post:
The original post has been removed, since it's outdated and I almost finished the English version tutorial on Github.
You can see it on github.
BTW, it's really difficult to use XDA's text editor.
You can download the TWRP of 16s here
it's a start, is there anyone who has already tried a gsi?
Good news for us Meizu users! Hope this is just a first step towards some good modding ?
Will this also work on Meizu Note 9?

A new method has been released on 4pda, which supports almost all MEIZU devices using Qualcomm Proccessor. This is the original link 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=961552&st=960#entry90949224

Sure, the new method applies to almost all devices, all versions. You can have a look at my github repository. I will edit the original post as soon as I can post links. BTW, is there any netdisk you guys use frequently? I don't know where to put the TWRP so that you can download easily.

You can use yandex.disk or google drive.
But you say about downgrade. Does the new method ignore the firmware version ?

yes, the new method applies to almost all versions, I have not updated the original post, because I have not prepared the English Version well on Github. You can have a look at github.com/sukanka/MEIZU16S_unlock_tutorial/wiki/Guide-to-Unlock-Your-MEIZU-Device
A new tutorial has been released on github

There seems to be custom ROMs for MEIZU 16th, I've seen Lineage, havoc, and mokee before. But i don't know how do these ROMs work. Anyway, I use 16s, not 16th. Besides, I don't know how to add a new phone category.
BTW, it's said that the kernel source of the 16 series will be released, maybe next year. And there are plans to upgrade the Android version of the 16 series.

No problem. If your phone becomes a brick, you can follow the unbrick tutorial to save your phone. But you are suggested to have glance at the tutorial before you go.
As reported by others, fingerprint and Mengine (taptic engine) don't work.
I am on havoc 2.9. Fingerprint mengine and mtp not work. But other features work fine
