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 ->
1st register HiCloud (Dont give details on Huwaei ID)
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.

hi all
i've bought a P8 Max from china. actually its on build DAV-703LV100R001C233B029.
It is possible to flash an europe version? When yes, could you please post a link?
Thanks in advance and regards from switzerland
SWATTIE
nope, and the international version doesnt have all the features that that chinese one has!
Which features do you mean? I missing the possibility to sync my Google contacts
Double Tap to wake I think, but not sure some people here talk about thinks that they are missing on the 701 Version that I have on my 703 Version.
I have unlocked my Bootloader and flashed GAPPS so I dont have the problem to sync my Google Contacts.
But some people wrote here you can download these APPS from the Huawei App Market too...

Any other features from the chinese 703 ?
Just asked the same question to Huawei UK, here is their reply
Dear Customer,*
Thank you for contacting Huawei UK Customer Care.*
Regarding your query, unfortunately we will not be able to assist. However, there should be several forums that cover this process. Moreover, I can tell you that there is a chance that the phone will not work within optimal parameters even with a changed ROM because the hardware itself is a bit different than the one European devices have.*
Best of luck and may you have a great weekend!*
Kind regards,
Tony

You can do this to enable dual sim on single sim devices but has two slots. It is also used to remove chinese characters with chinese ROMs.

I've done quite a bit of research into this. It's not a simple process as for example Xiaomi.
It will involve resizing the system partition among other partitions.

There's a June update for our device, I got it this morning. A19
This last update does not includes spanish or changes anything
Hi, I have the RMX2075 (UK) and there is an update on the UK site for RMX2076EU, would this work if I installed it.
File manager detects that it is an update package. For reference it's the 17/6/2020 RMX2076EU_11_A.22
Currently on RMX2075_11_A.20
Thanks for any help - Josh

No sorry, this was a tangent regarding the RMX2075 (UK) getting the RMX2076EU update which was posted on the UK site.
Probably they just named it wrong. Sorry, I don't have the RMX2017 (CN) (but isn't it 2071 lol).
Just as an interest, what's wrong with the CN version?

As per my first analysis, RM2071 (CN) did not bring the majority of the languages (in my case, I need PT), just CN, EN and other two or three asian languages. It does not have Google Play store although it is possible to install it separatedly.
Finally there are many CN apps that comes together and when using EN, some untranslated texts in CN are still appearing in many screens.

Disappointed with Chinese Rom
I also own a RMX2071 version.
To be honest I'm disappointed as my expectations with this phone were too high.
Here are my remarks:
Breeno is only in Chinese and you cannot download EU voices,
Global search is only retrieving Chinese news,
Impossible to fully replace Breeno with Google Assistant (shortcut will still launch Breeno instead of GA, GA will not produce notification sound when activated...)
Some software and some rare options are not translated in my language (I set the FR language and still Chinese texte)
Security check is done for all app you are downloading from Google store (which leads sometimes to Play Store crash)
Google Chrome is freezing from time to time
I need to switch mobile data off and on to get back internet (specially after leaving the phone locked for a while).
I need to switch mobile data off and on right after a call or I'll not be able to get Internet...
Regards

I did and it has worked well!
I was also at the point of selling this phone, but am very happy with it now, would struggle to tell it was a Chinese Rom. Google assistant etc working fine.
I have a CPH2025 running CW though I purchased it from Amazon UK and can confirm it's Unlocked Network wise, is there no way of flashing just a Global CPH2025 to it so I'm able to get updates quicker?
Nope
There's a flashing tool used by Oppo, Realme and OnePlus phones called MSN Download Tool.
It's what they use internally and there are always leaked / cracked versions available for OnePlus, but not so much Oppo. IF you managed to find the right version you could in theory change your software version. You'd need the tool and .ofp file (which is the full firmware).
I have a couple of cracked versions of the tool and OFP files that I stumbled across when trying to convert my Chinese version to global, but not willing to try on my CPH2025 in case I brick it (plus I have the global version so nothing to gain by doing so). Sure Oppo would reflash under warranty if you could be bothered with the inconvenience of not having a phone for a week.

Unlikely, there are only a few leaked versions of the full firmware, I have found A14 and A29, as ColorOS 11 isn't even out yet is say there is zero chance of getting a leaked version that someone has cracked.... Just have to wait.
It is actually possible to change to global! I put a small tutorial up on Twitter to show you how to do it.

Does it factory reset the phone? How is 4g/5g performance when you switch regions? I imagine Singapore would use different bands... And how does it look with Google Pay, certifications, Widevine etc?
Update: Never mind, tried it, the *# code is actually for a realme device, can't find one specific to Find X2 or X2 Pro, and have no idea if there is a way to extract a list of those secret codes from the device itself...

The *# works on the Find X2 Pro. It's not Realme-specific. Google Pay still works for me and didn't notice any mobile data difference. No factory reset either
I've tried and it works. Changed the region a few times, tried Singapore, UK, then the multi-language E - all worked fine. It even disabled and enabled region specificNone of them have me a ColorOS 11 update though which is why I was doing it.
However, I changed to Thailand True and now this procedure doesn't work. Now stuck on Thailand ?. My fault for playing too much!

Thanks for the post Adam, you've made a lot of people very happy. This change in regional settings had enabled people to get ColorOS 11 early, replace carrier specific software for a more generic version, get features like the Theme Store and call recording working and even opened up the possibility of having dual SIM on a single SIM variant!

Hello XDA forums,
I've recently required a global version of the mi 10 ultra after a phone swap. I'm not flash/bootloading/ROM toting gunslinger and have no clue about this software installed on the phone called TWRP.
From my research I've found it's a bootloader that allows the device to be used in other countries and gives access to Google play store.
But I just wondered whether going back to stock is an option, and if so, would that present any issues i.e. lose assess to play store.
If there is a simplified guide or any guide in general I'd be more than happy to look at it
Kind regards

Thank you for clarifying that for me having spoke to someone via the Xiaomi forums, they stated that it is used on the mi 10 ultra to by pass the Chinese stock ROM and allow Google play store.
The thing I'm lost about is what ROM am I currently using and how do I update it? Would you be able to direct me to some information to troubleshoot this?

Basically Yes, you will lose access to the playstore as China does not allow it on their phones. The 10 ultra's sold to people outside of China had a cutdown version of Google services put on but it did not have location history or find phone and other parts. If you do go back to stock Chinese, you can find playstore app in their version of appstore and if you install it, you can get full Google services again.
If you have the Xiaomi EU ROM installed and you live outside of China, then that version is your best bet. It comes in 2 versions, weekly or stable and both are still updated, so make your choice, stock ROM is available here.. http:/mifirm.net and do a search for cas or mi 10 ultra and install the latest fastboot or recovery ROM if you have twrp recovery installed ( you probably will if you have the EU ROM) or pop over the Xiaomi EU forum for the latest info here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-mi-10-pro-10lite-ultra-10t-pro-lite-10s.204/ and here for the weekly ROM.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-12-1-12-2-12-5-stable-release.56191/ and the weekly ROM here.. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-16-17.61822/ .
All the info on twrp and the ROMs are on the Xiaomi EU forum but there is lots of help and advice here once you make your choice of where you want to go. The 10 Ultra is a dam good phone with the latest EU ROM installed.

Ah no I was wondering whether TWRP is vital to it's operation, as I've tried to factory reset and for some reason it is still retaining the previous owners information. I'm thinking it's due to TWRP
