Hi there everyone,
i want to get new themes but i can't from the huawei theme store because it's not available in my country (UK) and some of them look really nice, i haven't rooted my phone and i don't plan to is there any other way to get themes or am i stuck with the default ones
Download tunnelbear and use its Hong Kong VPN services to trick phone into thinking your in China ?
You have to put out your sim card thought otherwise it won't work. I have exact the same problem.
Atm not a chance to pull out the sim card.
i make it with sim card and it works fine

So once I download tunnelbear, how will i get other themes for my P8Max, will hey show up in the themes app or can I just download new ones from the google play store?
I found out you can download themes from the Huawei theme store when you changed the local.prop for the language.
Once it is not in Chinese anymore, you can download themes with any problem, just in your country.
But your phone has to be rooted. This also removes the Chinese phonenumbers when dialing.

No more need to have Tunnelbear.

I know, i haven't been able to get my bootloader code too for days so i found on te internet how to get it.
There is another way to get your bootloader but you have to pay 4 dollars/euros for it.
PM me if you need the website. It's not mine btw, I had to pay it too but it was all worth and less of a hassle.
After you get the bootloader code, make sure you save it safe on somewhere.
Once you rooted your phone, edit the local.prop in your country and you no longer need tunnelbear to download themes from the Theme app.
And also no more need to put out your sim card.
Look on play store for Huawei themes......

Hi,
Sorry newbe here..
Just want to check if anyone had my below issue when buying phone from china to save few quits
1) Phone comes with all preload chinese apps (which most of the can be ignore once google play has been installed)
2) I've cannot register to Huawei ID from the phone (even after had login details when registered through web)
error message
"Service not supported for your Location. We apologise for the inconvenience."
I am trying to register phone from UK.
troubleshots done (from search engine)
1) Installed tunnelbear and tried registering no luck.
2)created new account from huaweis chinese website still no luck.
Any help much appericated, also can i install UK rom on this phone?
Phone details
Honor 8
model : FRD-AL00
Let me know if you need any further details.
Try switching the launcher from System Launcher to Huawei Home although not 100% sure this will work since we aren't living in China
Much appericated for your prompt response.
Not sure how to do that
Sorry how can i do that?
It si set to Huawei Home
If that's the case I suppose it won't work. I picked up this phone (from China) and got rid of almost all of the apps that were installed by default. I can't see a reason I would want a Huawei ID....
thanks I've manged to register to Huawei ID here i've done
Created Account thorough PC -> went to setting from from the phone ->

It worked for me and i am now In and had 5Gb free cloud space to store my contacts and some useful files.

The best way would be waiting for HUAWEI to release a stock Englist ROM and flash that...
All the chinese variants comes with preloaded chinese apps, I think you should be able to uninstall them easily from Settings > Apps. I never really tried a chinese ROM, so don't know if they are uninstallable, but most of us gets bloats in our /cust partition, from which we can uninstall them.

Some of the default apps can be uninstalled, but I am hoping that at some point there is an English version of the rom for FRD-AL10 released.

Yes, maybe, if some dev makes it.
I get the same Huawei ID location error on Europe Honor 7. I don't think its anything to do with the rom being Chinese.

Thanks for this. I downloaded it, but I will wait to hear if someone else has flashed it on a FRD-AL10 first! Right now the phone is too new and I don't want to risk bricking it.
EU ROMs works on EU variants only, don't try it on Chinese variant, unless you debrand it.

Not sure if there is EU version ROM for FRD-AL00?
Hi,
I have an tablet above. The model is PLC-703L. The problem is the room version is Chinese version with HiApp Store. I want to re-up the room with international version use Google Plays as main store apps. Please anyone could tell me that i could use this room?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/mediapad-x2-firmware-702l-703l-t3168925
I found that my device firmware is PLE-703LC233B017
Hi
this forum is dedicated to mediapad X2 (GEM-70xL).
you should try to find help with people on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-iam-want-root-huawei-mediapad-t2-7-t3467251
Anyway, for you precise issue, the more simple is to install google apps and services that way on your current rom:
use Huawei store (Hiapp) that is already installed on your device:
for gapps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI2RYZiTl38
for sync services:

Hi all.
I know the 8th November Xiaomi UK launch is rumoured to include the Mi Mix 3, but I'm not confident that it will. Besides, if it does it will probably be priced in line with other handsets oof similar spec in the UK.
I'm thinking of buying one from a Chinese source such as AliExpress or Gearbest, but I'm now questioning if I'll be able to load a global ROM on it or not?
This article states that phones pre installed with Chinese ROM cannot have Global installed: https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/09/...-miui-china-rom-no-longer-support-global-rom/
Does anyone know if this is the case? When I got my original MIX I was able to flash Global with no problems.
Thanks,
Dom
You can flash a global rom on a China device, but you can't relock bootloader
Ok thanks... So if you can't re-lock the bootloader, I guess apps like Google Pay won't work?

Sorry for the double post.
Do you have any detail about that? Or a source?
My original Mix 1 bootloader was unlocked, Global flashed, and then re-locked.
Has this changed recently?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I believe the UK release is rumoured to be the Mi 8 Explorer. So I will probably order a CN Mix 3 and hope that the China ROM is fully compatible with the UK after GAPPS are installed.
I don't think UK apps such as google pay, and most mobile banking apps, will work if the bootloader is unlocked. But I may be wrong. Anyone know?

Banking apps (atleast mine) run fine on a bootloader unlocked rooted device. I didn't try Google pay
I also have an unlocked bootloader on my Mi Mix and have no issues with Banking apps (when using Magisk).

Hi,
Can I ask how you got on? Thinking of getting it but unsure if it'll work.
Also what site did you purchase the Mix 3 on.

I got mines today and no problem with selecting English, you can install play services easily with Google installer 3.0 apk.
Might need to set some apps as system apps to ensure notifications come through straight away.

This and maybe EU rom out soon, tomorrow global without unlock if you believe the rumors
You guys think there's going to be major hardware differences with the new Global 5g version coming out in 2019 (besides the 5g capability of course) ?OR the rest of the specs should be the same? I'm not sure on ordering one now or wait for the global one to be released. But I'm assuming that the 5g should be more expensive.

I have the mi mix 3 Chinese version 256gb.. Love the phone but I can't get Google Assistant to work. I read in another post that we have to root the phone but I think the Global version will have it all preinstalled and allow the Xiaoai button to control OK Google... This is honestly the only thing I'm waiting for assuming we're able to flash the Global rom on top of the Chinese one...

There are some workarounds to get assistant working on Chinese rom. I had no issues w assistant except using ok Google voice command. EU room has it mapped to AI button.
For some Reason my original Chinese ROM installed version of Huawei Assistant app now tells me that an update installed is the international version and cannot be used, please uninstall updates. When I do this, it just updates itself! This is going round and round even when telling it not to update, it does it in the background. See screenshots attached.
If someone could extract/export/link to a copy of the original and any updates for the Chinese version AN00 or equivalent has had, I will try to remove and install by adb.
I have emailed Huawei but as normal, no response received.
All sorted now. I had to uninstall the international updated app, then change app store to China version, wait for the update, then change it back to UK.
This allowed it update the China rather than the international app version.
Why I can't load the news?! Always show no data! I try to fix in many ways but no luck
Try setting region to UK it works .

Hello,
in the store they told me huawei isnt giving unlock codes anymore so i cant unlock my bootloader?
Is this correct?
For me i need unlock/root/custom roms etc, is there anybody who can give the correct answer on this?
I know i can get GMS installed but i need root, so i can use different apps, like modded whatsapp
Like i said, really looking forward to this device, i am a frequent xiaomi user but want to switch now
Theres a local discount here in my country and ends at wednesday 23:59
So hope for fast and correct answer/solution
Thanks
There is no current way of unlocking the bootloader. No one has managed to generate any working keys so you may as well give up now waiting. There is no sign that Huawei will reverse their decision.
