Can you perhaps tell me more detailed how it works? I have debranded my AL10 to international rom b133 successfully. I am happy with this now as it has solved my notification issue too. But now I am looking for a way to update the international rom to the latest 152 version. Thanks!

look around through the thread here in the mate 8 section, theres a ton of info on how to flash roms

u can only fully remove the chinese stuff by unlocking bootloader and rooting ur phone. then u can delete all that stuff by using titanium backup, for example, or by manually deleting the stuff via a root explorer.
aside from that, some L29 roms actually work in terms of notifications but yeah if u wanna stick to AL10 firmwares, im guessing thats a good point @notifications. thats actually the main reason i switched to crossflashing L29 firmwares...

so what you mean is that when i flash the AL29 ROM i wont have any notification issues?
is there any disadvantages over the AL10 rom?
thx buddy
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

only advantages as far as ive seen. no chinese stuff, no notification issues and google apps & services preinstalled
btw, new L29 B180 full rom was just made available over in the huawei ota server thread...

guys thx for your help... i will flash the AL29 B180 when i get home.. one question left... on the international rom AL29 is the hiapp in Chinese too or is it in English?
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

hiapp is not preinstalled on the international roms, since u have google play store instead hiapp is just the chinese app store

What iatest EU ROM version?

I am still on B136.

Looks like B136 is, but there is a B160 sighting.

I have not unlocked it, EVA-L09C432B137, I got it 2 weeks ago.
It was a minor update on 99.43 MB
The change log shows the following:
The update fixes a problem with the network connection.
[Optimizations]
Some feature descriptions are optimized for Swedish as system languages.
[Correction]
One problem with some users could not access the internet for some operator networks in Montenegro.

If anyone gets an update notification then please snatch the hicare download link. Thanks.

I don't get L09 updates since I unrooted and re locked bootloader

BTW, the chinese rom version is 168 now. Some 17X are testing among few users.

Maybe I switch back to Chinese rom!

Stock ROM instead of carrier's branded one?

Hi,
I'm considering buying Honor 8 and I need to know what steps will be needed for flashing manufacturer's stock ROM instead of carrier's branded one? Is it required unlocked bootloader or is there any more simple method?

There is no stock rom currently available.

If you still use HUAWEI's official ROM, no need to unlock your bootloader. Just wait for HUAWEI releases the files.
But so far there is no files yet avaliable for Honor 8.

Stock ROM here.
This is for the FRD-L09 model only.

Aha, nice sharing. Although I couldn't find any ROM in EMUI website yet, for stock ROM, better stick with official website.

Have similiar question.
i debrand NXT-DL00 to NXT-L29 (flashed the B180,B192,B320, now i have B580), but still Sim cards have no signal, light not work, camera not work (cant connect to camera)...

After flashing cust from l29c185 sim 1 works but the model is changed to NEXT and stops updating as you can see from the above user who flashed the l29 cust. This ,"Sent from my NEXT using Tapatalk" .

Could please explain in detail? I debrand nxtl09 to nxt-al10 and lost imei and sim detection
