Install Honor V8 global rom - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Recently bought a Honor V8 in one of the local (cheap) store but they selling phones with chinese rom. I would like to replace the original one with a global rom what i found here :victory:. After unlocking the boot loader (bye-bye guarantee), uploaded the update.zip onto the dload folder of the SD card. However the phone still complains and not accepting this as a valid firmware. Probably i need to use TWRP or similar tool for this task, but i would like to know if someone done this before or is it possible at all?
Many Thanks for your help!

its very risky since this device having different board and density size ! .

You can probably try and flash the original ROM again if it doesn't work. Not sure if it will break your phone using different versions

What's your phone model?

As a new member it's not permitted to ask this in "Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development" section, only here "Honor 8 Questions & Answers".
This is a new thread here. What do you exactly would like to suggest, shall I move it to somewhere else?

Some phones that are made only for the Chinese market will not be compatible with any new firmware. But always try to find the exact firmware that matches your device hardware before trying. The V8 is a completely different phone than the Honor 8. Do not try to use the Honor 8 firmware.

Custom ROM for HH H60-L12 needed!

I am looking for some custom rom (no matter which one) for H60-L12 version.
Any links?
--------------
I founded http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=...age=1&filter=typeid&typeid=15409&typeid=15409
Will there be any development activity on this device. It's not worth purchasing if there is no development activity.

go here and search for L12 or KangVIP
Or use the INDEX thread to find custom ROM for various site listed.
I hope that in the nearest feature there will be a working CM for HH6. Development has already started.
As for other custom ROMs - MIUI is not fully useful now on L12/L12, so i can say that no normal customs are available yet.

Any idea of what's Huawei's stand in sharing the files. The processor is new, so I guess development will take time

EXPOSED FRAMEWORK on X2

UPDATE (on 24 Nov 2015)
===================
Thanks to "ajsmsg78" there is detailed explanation on how to get this working on our X2. Please go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/development/mod-xposed-framework-mediapad-x2-t3255963
INITIAL POST
==========
It seems the Chinese managed to get the Exposed Framework working on X2 ?
The URL:
http://club.huawei.com/forum.php?mo...=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=2005&typeid=2005
Just based on Google Translate to English it seems to indicate detailed instructions how to make it work ?
I don't have a good understanding of Exposed Framework so not sure if those who're familiar can take a look and validate what I saw ? Thanks

The official version on this XDA page doesn't work on our X2. Gets into bootloop.

I'm gonna install it later and see if it indeed works. I know it well from my Samsung Note series days and my Nexus 6. Edit: confirmed working. Testing some modules (I think the one they provide is the only one that works with our X2 as of right now) I can put up a new thread with links and a How To if you want, or you can do it on the main page of this thread, it's up to you.

Did you try installing it from that link? If you did, does it work? I get a boodloop when I try installing it from there. The Chinese one works fine as maybe it's a modified version for our X2's.

There is no root guide in the ROM section, just Kali rom, twrp and forum rules/mods. Maybe a link would be helpful.
Update: I guess they are talking about it in the TWRP post, seems out of place considering the ROM section is not meant for discussion.

Yep, none of those threads have to do with "Root", but people are having discussions about root in the TWRP thread which is against forum rules because those are dev threads. But I guess the dev is either slacking or just letting it fly. Either way, thank you.

Seriously?
I will quickly answer this, as this discussion is against the rules as it is not about the topic of this thread. It is lacking of respect towards the OP who is doing job for the community.
There are various conversations about rooting.
1. The TWRP with root included if you read the OP. People are discussing issues or trying to find solutions for their phones.
2. There is a specific thread saying CF Auto Root ...talks about rooting your devices with Chainfire's fabulous work only. Well mostly people saying thank you, as it is rare that Chainfire's work goes wrong.
I think the Mods on this forum are tough and correct... so if something was against the rules, they would of taken action.
Now this is a thread about volume and Viper... so nothing to do with this discussion... So let's go back on topic.

okkkkkaaaaayyyy. the rom/recovery sections is meant for the developers to post updates on their progress or info about the rom/recovery/etc. This is why the mods continually tell people to not discuss in the rom section, and instead the dev should create a separate thread in the Q&A regarding any questions pertaining to the thread. Root is relevant to almost everything on XDA, so when someone says to go look in the rom section about root information, it's kind of vague to assume that information about "how to root" will be in the TWRP recovery section. My point was that simply telling a user to go to the rom section to find answers about rooting their phone is not ideal nor does it make sense, so let's all avoid confusing more and more people on this site.

Sir,can i flash your mod with soundmod of divinebeats by royalseeker?Will it create any contradictions?
will this mod work whith The Sound Mod Thread by ZuBi182??
or will this cause problems?

No need to flash both mods at the same time as they are meant for the same purpose. Mod by ZuBi182 has more features and adjusted values.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Working but 10 second later turn normal mod
Why do you think's going on?
For example in youtube, 10 second viber4android active, later deactivate.

Chinese problems

So I bought the Honor 8 in China. This means that when I swipe to the right (from the homepage) I can see Chinese news, instead of international or English. Is there some way of changing that. All I want to know is how to access the settings for that feature.
Thanks

Mine is also having that. I cant switch it to english. I cant also find a way changing that so I disabled it by pinching the screen and click setting and disable HiBoard.
Can you change the source of news or the app to extract news? If you have any specific question that I can help you ask in the Chinese Honor forum, just let me know.

That would be great.
I was wondering, if I could link the news function to another application, I would do that. I searched the device for the source of the news and wondered, if I deleted it, would it provide me with the option of replacing it with another.
If you could ask, I would be most grateful.

From an authorized source, it seems impossible at this moment to change the news sources. But a feedback has been sent to the Huawei developer team. Hopefully, a future update can allow you to customize those functions. One suggestion given by them is to use a third party news source and ignore the Chinese news for now.
As the Chinese version of EMUI has more functionality, include more available Camera plugins and better AI designs, I hope you enjoy the default EMUI system, anyways.

I have the same problem with Honor 9, would be happy to find a solution.

You could try to flash the global OTA ROM (i.e. B360 or B385).

Some things in the Chinese forum that were suggested:
-If you haven't yet, turn on your location and refresh the news
- they said news is based on you specifically, like Google now news, so maybe after time it will adapt to your likes.
*To speed this up you could try going into the settings of the news and click on things you like (English news that is)
Sorry, wasn't much else

Well ... I have founded a new ROM for this mobile. Based on MIUI 10.2.1
It is posted on russian forum: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895159&st=4140#entry90240414
You must update the firmware using TWRP. Remenber to do format and wipes on TWRP before install it.
I have test it on my x650 and it is great. Enviroment is nice and very fast, so it has 1 fault: no NFC control.
Languaje contains english, korean, chinese ... etc , but not spanish.
Good luck.

If you see the test pictures of the ROM on the russian web, you can see finger recognition working.
I am in the right way: You only must to see information in links has been gave, but is less work to ask people than read or see information which has been exposed. Actually people is too much lazy ....
Hi, anyone proven it on x657 model?
Still nothing...? Any modified original rom.i want yo get rid of Chinese apps....my phone installs apps with automatic pilot!!! It is too boring...
