Hi guys,
I just bought a frd-al00, I've seen in another thread that changing regions is possible so could someone please show me how to change my firmware to a European version?
Thanks
ps: sorry if this thread already exists or if it's posted in the wrong area
I really don't recommend doing this as you will void the retailer's warranty.

In all honesty, I really don't mind
I plan to root afterwards anyway
idk how to do it but if you said there is another thread talking about it, then wouldnt it be easier to ask the question there?
It's too hard go do so.
But no one made a guide specifically for the honor 8. There's a similar guide for the 5x (Again don't try it as there's no guide for our device)

The problem is there's no method specifically for the honor 8, there's one for the honor 5x (I think it can work)
Make sure to backup EVERYTHING, if you want to do it

How do you find the code name of your device? Ex. d2att for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Also, I think (tell me if I'm wrong) that the phones I'm looking at from Wind Mobile work with T-Mobile phones. If this is true, does that mean a ROM in the T-Mobile forum that doesn't list the exact model number of the Wind Mobile phone (ex. if it listed SM-G920T but didn't list SM-G920W8) will still work with that ROM?

unfortunately i cant answer that, but i can comment on it.
there are a small amount of phones that you can flash a rom that wasnt specifically made for it, but if you cant find proof before trying, there is a real risk of permanent brick if your wrong.
take the g3 for instance (only because i know about this device),
you can take a vzw g3 and use it on tmo, but you can not flash a tmo rom on it because it is a vzw phone.
if your just talking about a rom, and not actual stock firmware, the risk of issues is still there, but generally, more likely fixable because its not flashing key partitions that could render your device unfixable.
i am in no way suggesting you try it, only because if it bricks the phone i dont want to be responsible, but if it were me, and i had a backup to restore the phone, and stock files to flash if need be, i would try it. but you would have to be in a position to buy a new phone if things go terribly wrong. if not, then i wouldnt do it.

I'm not sure if we have the same understanding. I mean just like how the Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 can flash AT&T ROMs, I'm wondering if that would be the same for Wind Mobile flashing T-Mobile ROMs even if the model number is not exactly the same (ex. flashing a SM-G920T ROM on a SM-G920W8).
And yeah, I'm talking about flashing an AOSP ROM rather than stock firmware ROM (TouchWiz, Sense, Etc).

maybe you will get some help if you ask in the specific device forum q&a of the devices you need info about. usually thats the best place to ask questions if the device specific forums exist for your models.

yea go for it. maybe stagger your post a bit though. dont throw them all in at once.
Canadian here. All T-Mobile ROMs will work on our Canadian owned S6s. Sometimes an extra custom kernel needs to be flashed, but they will work.
Also, try going to download.cyanogenmod.com to search for your device, then you will see the codename at the end of all nightly zip filenames.
Good luck.

This might just be the dumbest question ever posted on this forum. Having said that I've made other posts so maybe not!
I'm hopefully buying a Chinese AL00 Mate 9 from wonda, and they say they've got the MHA-L29C636 ROM installed on it, which is international so they've clearly changed it.
I wanted to know if this is rootable (so I can do cool stuff you can only do with rooted phone) but then it hit me that if it's already got a different ROM on it then perhaps it must already have been rooted? Or does it mean the bootloader is already unlocked so then I can easily root it myself?
Can anyone help clarify for a thickie like me?

Hi. It is unlikely to come rooted. Chances are the bootloader is locked too. Best is to ask the seller.
Hi guys, has anyone flashed a Chinese version of a phone with a global ROM. I have a Vivo Nex Dual Display but everything is in Chinese. Just wondering if it was possible to flash a global ROM on there. I don't even know if the bootloader is unlocked etc because everything is in Chinese.

Personally I did that on my OnePlus 8, but you're posting your question on the wrong section, next time be careful on that.
Just find out it's not possible for Vivo phones:

"I asked Vivo about firmware change. They said it is not possible, if I want to have firmware from India I have to buy phone in India, phones from China can have only Chinese firmware"

Thanks for the new link, that's working and I guess you can't flash Vivo. Some people are giving solutions but it's not as simple as just flashing a new ROM.

Hello, first time in here!
I was planning to buy the Rog Phone 5S, and I found a quite cheap CN Tencent version on eBay.
However, I'm not really into ROMs and firmware things, so I would like to ask a couple of things.
Is there any EASY way to install the WW version? I tried looking here in the forum's, but I was a bit confused, so I thought it was better to ask here.
And also after installing the Global version, will I be able to receive auto updates like usual?
Thanks in advance for the answers, have a nice weekend everyone!!

Then it's actually better off to find a WW version (International) rather than go through the hassle and headache of converting one. Asus made it difficult over the year for conversions, and especially on the 5S - the conversion us not yet a 100% successful.

Sad to hear, WW ones are way more expensive and much harder to find I would try to go for the conversion, but if it's not 100% successful, that's a problem. What happens if the conversion don't go the right way? Does the phone bricks, or it simy stays the way it is?

You don't know about N971N variants, do you? I DID SAW EVERY LISTS AND THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTED IN NORMAL WAYS! Why would I even bother asking then?????? They have Twrp but no exact workarounds for rooting it. The Base Note 10's 5g version is almost Impossible to root in a way (as I tried and used all ways in my knowledge). And About flashing, I did said it didn't helped, so it means it didn't! Like, the Volatile memory of my Note 10 5g(which is usually not affected by flashing) is corrupted due to wrong file flashings. Now The issue is, there is no network. Even flashing original roms numerous times doesn't help. Rooting via TWRP is also baseless, since even after multiple tries of rooting it by flashing SuperSu or Magisk modded Roms. It just doesn't work.

Man, I really dont speak English perfectly and am frustrated! Cz you know , this N971N is such a mess. It's exynos version is so messed up and hard to root or fix. Oh btw, your one's a exynos version or sd one? Cz that might have a influence too.
Yes I also flashed lineage OS on my Note 10 had it rooted afterwards, but which didn't worked (nothing works, like, it does says its rooted but doesn't works). But after flashing Lineage OS, i saw I have no internet, and I thought maybe its my phone's problem (which, you say isn't as you have the same issue after flashing....****) so I flashed a EFS file thinking Lineage OS might have jacked my EFS (which was totally unprofessional of me) I really was so disappointed afterwards.
No no wait, I know if I don't get help from XDA then I would not be able to get help and I also know that all other roms out there didn't included d1x or N971N as their supported device! Thats exactly why I was just saying that when you asked?
Im sorry man, I didn't wanted to be rude.... actually Im Searching here and there for a long time. Shabi_Shaw and I had a talk and I also said him too. I've been on this for 1 year and I am really in need of a way to fix my phone. The only reason I need to root my note is access the EFS folder and edit it back to normal.
Wish all these mess never happened. I mean, how the hell I thought back then that rooting can Increase N971N's battery life when it's capacity's already less
