Hi all,
I just got my new honor X2 / Mediapad X2 from aliexpress a 703L 32GB 3GB Ram model.
it's lock screen / it's own play store and others are chinese even setting english australian on factory reset didnt help.
I see an update is waiting for me, Android 6 and the UI v. 4.0 B211
I dont know if I should update as I dont want to be locked from installing a custom rom, as Android 6.0 might be hard to install a custom rom?!
Currently Android 5.1.1 and B112 Rom, are installed
Does anyone have good advice for me,
Will I be able to get english if I upgrade to Android 6.0? I am doubtfull as it's the huawei software thats in chinese!
Maybe Huawei UI 4.0 might allow more language options?!
All I want is to have Play store installed & have English on the lock screen.
I would be happy to flash a custom rom as I have done that in the past on other devices, I just dont know much about this one.
Await your replies
Many Thanks,
Shaun.

Hello,
I just bought a new Huawei P8 GRA-UL00 from China and currently the device has GRA-UL00C00B153 build EMUI 3.1.
I live in Europe and even I have chosen the English language settings, the device still has many Chinese specific notifiers, apps, and some other stuff and as you know, there are restrictions on google services, play store, etc..
I searched over the forum and also some other resources to learn whether it is possible to modify the phone as to be purchased in Europe. After I read many discussions, I am now highly confused.
Do I need to unblock and root the device for removing the Chinese stuff or is it also possible to do it by finding and installing a European firmware (if exists) from the manufacturer?
I will be pleased if you guys can help me in this issue.

Hello,
I live in France and I have the same problem on my P8 GRA-UL10 with a B183 China ROM version.
I can easily upgrade to an other B173 China ROM version but I can't upgrade to B143 General ROM version.
How to install a B141 General ROM version ? Do I have to unlock the bootloader ?
Thanks in advance
Greetings
Your best option is to select the ROM produced for Europe.
After preparation ROM root the phone and then unlocking the bootloader downgrade supplier.
Most likely your problem will be solved.
good luck.

So it works now. Got Lolipop + emui 3.1
You need to get the stock rom for your device. But first replace (build.prop + local.prop) -> you need root for that. Then you can go and do the ota's of course. Good Luck!

I am running the official 5.0 sw/GEM-701L, is there any new official sw like 5.1.1 or 6.0 , i tried to check with referent regions in Huawei website but no hop,
they released the device and left it without update
many thanks in advance
There is no official Update for 701.You can unlock the Bootloader and flash the China Firmware from 703 or the international 702 Firmware.
Many thanks for your feedback
Hi
Actually it's a bit tricky but you'll find tutorials on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-x2-gem-703l-gem-702l-t3228915
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-gem-701-702-703-t3293795
But anyway, I think that 701L users now need a more simple, clear and updated tutorial for " how to install a recent 703L rom on my 701L", dedicated to this precise model.
If someone with this experience would read that...
Does anybody know the market shear between 701, 702 and 703 models? I am wondering what are the reasons of being no updates for 701. Maybe it's becaus it only represens a few percent of the X2 market?

I agree. It's definitely needed a dedicated tutorial for 701L on how to convert to 703L.
I hope AJ can spare some of his time for this..[emoji16]

no 701L update blues
Got em bad.
This seriously sucks for what is otherwise a fabulous device.
Certainly puts me off Huawei for my next phone.
Save a maximum of personnal data and settings (with for example : huawei backup app, helium backup, titanium backup...).
Then flash directly on your 701L this official international rom designed for 702L:
http://consumer.huawei.com/tw/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=92804&key4=GEM-702LC158B203
It will install, and your device will be on android 6, and designed for international users.
Please note that it is recommanded to unlock your bootloader before flashing anything. In order to unbrick your device if something goes wrong.

Hello everyone,
My brother got a Honor 8 FRL AL10 in China as a gift from Honor company and he asked me to change the Chinese Android to English if it's possible. My knowledge of such "operation" is very limited and following few guides I have managed to root the phone using the TWRP and SuperSu.
Now I'm kinda stuck here and don't know what to do next. I don't even know if it's possible to do it, I have used the search but in my eyes there is a ton of data which I don't understand and it makes me anxious tbh. So I want to ask you guys here to tell me in laic english what are my options right now. Is it possible to just flash the "english" version without all the chinese apps because I would rather stick to the stock ROM for now. I've spend all day with 1000 tabs open reading about stuff I can't understand :crying:
Thank you very much
tldr:
Have a chinese honor8, want to transfer android to "normal, english", phone rooted
you didnt had to do root for that, its just a selection of language in settings
or if you wanted an international version of software, you shouldve tried the official method,, or any official english firmware,
since now you have rooted and on twrp, go on and flash any custom rom available..
Hello everyone,
Please help.
I bought the Canadian Fido P20. Few days ago, the system updated to EMUI 9.0 automatically.
Since that, I couldn't download the themes from Huawei Themes App and also got some app problems.
Therefore I downgrade back to EMUI 8.1 through the Hisuit. Right now the build number is EML-L09 8.1.0.113(C792).
I'm not sure this is the right version for my phone. Now I still cannot download the themes from Huawei Themes APP, also the update push of EMUI 9.0 is no longer available.
Just drive me crazy about that, if I tried to use Hisuit to recover the cellpone, it doesn't support the device. I have no idea why Huawei provides this kind of poor support to Canadian.
Anyone knows how to get the right version back? Anything I can do about it?
Thank you very much, guys
