FRD-AL ... 00, 04, 09, 10, 14, 19 ... what are the differences? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers
What i know:
FRD-AL00 >>> China version (?) (32 GB)
FRD-AL10 >>> China version with 4GB Ram + 64 GB Rom
FRD-AL09 >>> EU version 32 GB
FRD-AL19 >>> EU version 64 GB
FRD-AL04 >>> US version 32 GB
FRD-AL14 >>> US version 64 GB
Maybe there are more different versions available.
Each one is a Honor 8
What i suggest:
The TWRP - Packages are not compatible (yet)
They have localized software / bloatware installed.
EMUI Roms are / are not compatible?

There is a tool called SrkTool Huawei that can convert phone, but does not support Honor 8 yet. It supports P9, P9+, Mate8 the creator is somboons and u can ask him on that forum.

Single vs dual sims will probably result in incompatible roms between the different versions.
Please I want the EU ROM
Hi guys, I recently purchased this phone from China and it came with the AL10 ROM which is customised for the Chinese people.
I will be very glad if anyone here can teach me how to install/change my ROM to the EU version AL19 or US version AL14. Thanks
The spec of my Honor 8 is 4gb/64gb/blue FRD-AL10.

Yes but to make it work someone with AL19 and AL14 need to make backup of there oeminfo.bin and custom.bin and send it to the Developer so he can put it in the tool, then it will be possible to debrand the phone. And we need stock firmware. I have made backup of my L09 and sent to the Developer of SrkTool Huawei and he will put it in his tool so we can crossflash Honor 8.

Auto Rotation does not work
Hello, I have the MHA-AL00 and since the last 2 firmware updates the auto-rotation stopped working. I've tried the hard reset (by the way the backup does not store account information and other stuff - had to configure lot's of stuff again by hand after restore) and the problem remains. It's not rooted, because It's still brand new (7 days old). One thing I did not try was to wipe the cache partition. would it help? Also, is there a simple way to install the European firmware? Lot's of apps are in Chinese and it's not possible to change the language... Thanks. Cheers.

Will the firmware for US Mate 9 also work well on a non-US Mate 9?
The firmware of HUAWEI Mate 9 for US edition(MHA-L29) phone is available on Huawei official website. http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/mobile-phones/mate9-us-sup.htm I just wonder whether this firmware will also work well on non-US edition Mate 9, such as China edition one. Thank you in advance.
I am using the B190 as my allday since rollout. I am in Germany. No Problem Vodafone Germany LTE
