Huawei P8 Removing Chinese Firmware and Installing European

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.

Honor 8 FRD AL10 from Chinese to English ROM

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,
Just got this watch here in China, everything is in Chinese (ofcourse) but i find it really hard to use this way, i asked Huawei and they claim that this version (DLXXE) doesnt have an international rom - is this true ?

I have the normal sport watch and yours LTE version. Before buying the watch in China i had confirmed with many Huawei stores that watch can install English OS but alas after buying the watch it couldnt be done via the chinese OS. You have to unlock the bootloader then install the English rom then close the bootloader again. Once on English rom you can update to the latest OS. Instructions are there in the forum. However i got lazy after years of rooting and hacking and being on IOS mostly and took the help of Sunny mention below. He will charge a fee and remotely installed the English OS.
PS. Dm me for alipay apk which i downloaded from some chinese website its an earlier version but works. It works beautifully from phone for paying with English. Care to tell how you got the wechat pay on the phone? While i had the Chinese rom for a day i cant remember i had wechat pay installed then.
Thank you for your answer - but to confirm, you have the version of the watch with the SIM slot ? this version im talking about is the Esim version and i suspect this is the reason why no int ROM was made for it, as it would render the Esim useless.
Do you think that if i try to put the rom as you suggest it would work on this watch as well?

I am not sure if there is an Esim English version. So yes if there is no English E-sim version then could be an issue.
My bad i didnt realise that wasnt the case. My watch is normal BT watch.
I am not sure if it would be advisable to install a rom which is not for your watch and even if it does work then probably you wont have the E-sim function. Just my guess. Sorry if my reply didnt help you further. Wearos scene in China and worldwide is a mess. I cant install the huawei market app on my phone or cant find 1 apk for it.

What kind of downsides are you talking about ???
The only one I know is the warranty.
The rest of chinese version are benefits: quick updates before global versions; 7680 fps slow record video; call recording.
I don't understand you.

I've done quite a bit of research into this. It's not a simple process as for example Xiaomi.
It will involve resizing the system partition among other partitions.

This last update does not includes spanish or changes anything
Hi, I have the RMX2075 (UK) and there is an update on the UK site for RMX2076EU, would this work if I installed it.
File manager detects that it is an update package. For reference it's the 17/6/2020 RMX2076EU_11_A.22

No sorry, this was a tangent regarding the RMX2075 (UK) getting the RMX2076EU update which was posted on the UK site.
Probably they just named it wrong. Sorry, I don't have the RMX2017 (CN) (but isn't it 2071 lol).
Just as an interest, what's wrong with the CN version?

As per my first analysis, RM2071 (CN) did not bring the majority of the languages (in my case, I need PT), just CN, EN and other two or three asian languages. It does not have Google Play store although it is possible to install it separatedly.
Finally there are many CN apps that comes together and when using EN, some untranslated texts in CN are still appearing in many screens.

Google maps Timeline can not be enabled on RMX2071(CN) version.
Disappointed with Chinese Rom
I also own a RMX2071 version.
To be honest I'm disappointed as my expectations with this phone were too high.
Here are my remarks:
Breeno is only in Chinese and you cannot download EU voices,
Global search is only retrieving Chinese news,
Impossible to fully replace Breeno with Google Assistant (shortcut will still launch Breeno instead of GA, GA will not produce notification sound when activated...)
Some software and some rare options are not translated in my language (I set the FR language and still Chinese texte)
Security check is done for all app you are downloading from Google store (which leads sometimes to Play Store crash)
Google Chrome is freezing from time to time
I need to switch mobile data off and on to get back internet (specially after leaving the phone locked for a while).
I need to switch mobile data off and on right after a call or I'll not be able to get Internet...
Regards

Before selling this phone I'll try to remove all those Chinese stuff.... I found this on the Realme X2 forum. Both phones share the same os.

I was also at the point of selling this phone, but am very happy with it now, would struggle to tell it was a Chinese Rom. Google assistant etc working fine.
