Hello,
I've been gifted an Huawei 6x chinese version, which I have upgraded.
it mount now the 5.11.16 and cust version. CUSTCHNC00B667.
I was wondering if there is some way to convert it to european by changing che custom version value or flash an european fw.
As far i've found, this model is just for china, isn't it? And as of now i found many topics on this very forum, and also on other, explaining how to remove some chinese fonts or flashing gapps, but not a real answer explaining or if possible to flash an european fw.
BTW: i recall that with other brands like samsung, for example, it was so easy to change region (multicsc)

Dial this code

Select network info query, then select vendor country info. Note the country info. If the country mentioned as eu then
Root your phone. And go to cust/hw folder. Rename the folder name "normal" to "eu". And restart. Now you will get indian version.
Thank you very much for your reply.
In the vendor info i have "hw" and country info "eu" (this is an european model)
In cust/hw i have both directories:
default
eu
normal

if anyone can help to move forward, it would be nice of him
Hello,
I've buy an imported Huawei Mate 9, wich runs a Chinese ROM
I can switch to my native tongue (French), but some apps, especially Huawei apps, have chinese option. Furthermore the dialer with Yellow Page is kinda boring.
Is there a way to switch to a European ROM? if it's possible how to do it?
PS : I have access to bootloader
Best Regards

You can rebrand to the L29C636 international model
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-rebrand-chinese-al00-mate9-to-t3554656
This gets rid of all the Chinese stuff, and you will receive OTA updates as normal
You can rebrand it . I did it from French version to eu version. It's working flawlessly.
Hello everyone,
as per the title, can i buy the mi mix 2s in china from a local seller and then switch it to a Global Rom?
Will i encounter bands problem for example? i live in EU
Thank youu
Yes, you can just install the global rom, I'm living in germany and also got the chinese version. You may check what LTE bands are used in your country since the chinese version does not have all the bands the global version has. However, the extra bands the global version has are mostly used in africa and america so chances are good that you'll be fine
Are you entirely sure that the two versions come with different bands? I can't find any confirmation anywhere

Yes they do come with different bands. I do not recommend you buying the chinese variant!
Look for the model that ends with XA ! this is the Global one with all bands.
Trust us. There is a reason for different models to exist.
The Chinese model can install global ROM but you cannot lock bootloader afterwards so it is not safe and many apps will not work.
Global model has more bands than base Chinese models but same as 8/256 Chinese model.
You can, but it would be "better" to buy it and install a rooted ROM from here if you want full features like Android Pay to function.
You can't relock the bootloader if you change from the chinese ROM.
Yes you could, but that may be not suggested depending on the model you want to get...
For 6+64 / 6+128 models, China variant (XE model) differs from global variant (XA model): XE has less band support and you need to keep your BL unlocked to install global ROM. So you'd better not buy these two models in China.
Still, I can show you the missing bands on XE model if you'd like to know, but anyway I don't think it necessary to buy it...
For 8+256 model, there's no two variants, only one XA model for both China and other countries. You should be safe to buy it.
And, if you get XE variant and flash global ROM with BL unlocked, you still cannot install Magisk - you'll see bootloop and then enter recovery. That's another important reason why I don't recommend XE variant. The only way to install Magisk is to install MiPa kernel instead of the stock one.
I'm from Europe.
If I buy a second hand Android phone from a different country (inside of EU too), can I use it in my country (in Europe) with my carrier (which it will be different than the one on that country) and flash an official LineageOS ROM in my country language.
Will the baseband be the same as an equal model in my country, no? I mean I should flash some baseband firmware or something if I use it in my country?.
Probably is a stupid question to ask, but... thx anyway!
Hi I have a A326B/DS smartphone and the only firmware I can see online is from the Brazil region. I live in the UK and can see this was also an international model. So no idea why the only firmware online seems to be from Brazil.
My question is, I'm wanting to root/flash the device. Do I stick with the Brazil option, or should I use a A326B Firmware which looks like its from the UK (No DS on the end specific to my model)
