Hello everybody. I am from Europe (Bulgaria) and I am going to buy Huawei Honor 8. I found a guy who bought Honor 8 from his mobile vendor (Telenor if it matters) and now he is selling it but the strange thing is that the model of his phone is actually for India. FRD-L02C432. I know it sounds strange because the phone model is for India (L02) but the build number is for the European region (C432). Do you think it is a good idea to buy this phone? I need a suggestion.
PS: Another bulgarian person bought Honor 8 from Telenor BG and he also got L02C432 and he is stuck to Android MM.
Is there Nougat update for this specific model?
LXX in Huawei does not specify regions, it does specify the number of production series. L02 would mean it was in the second batch produced, nothing to worry about.

There is no logic in your words. So L19 which is the european model with 64 gigs means it is the 19th batch produced, isnt it?

You asked, I answered. Sorry, you don't like it. Ask Huawei directly if they even care to answer your adolescent question buddy.
L02 definitely does not stand for "For India ONLY", that's for sure.

Well, sorry then. Be happy.
Pretty sure it is for region not batch number and I have yet to see anything else.
There seem to be only assumptions about this though, as far as I know.

LXX is indication for the number and kinds of bands the phone supports. It might be region-related but not necessarily. https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...nor-8-standard-edition-dual-sim-lte-a-frd-l09
That would definitely add to the confusion. I'm assuming C432 is the region code then. That doesn't make sense then though since the supported bands differ depending on region only.
Well i guess they do lol.
Huawei isn't exactly very straight-forward in their naming process.

Here you have the specs for L02.
Your Firmware is European.
Note:
1. L02 has nothing to do with India. Yes it's the only selled Honor 8 in India but has nothing to do with the country. It's because the frequencys of the signals is compatible in india.
2. Your device COULD be debranded. Check online with your serial number if it is a L02. (Maybe there's a webpage that does that)

I found a B380 FullOTA update for the L02C432 in the Firmware Finder app. I am not sure if it works, though. I have my phone from carrier in Slovakia.I hope the update comes soon officialy.

Don't think so I've been looking for a while we're out of luck man.
No, unfortunately. I gave up and finally rebranded and updated to 567B183. I'm very pleased.
I bought BLN-L22 Honor 6X from India and now want to use it in US but it does not work with any network on LTE. Any way I can debrand to use US bands ?
Rebranding is only for software, as for bands, it is hardware related so you can't change anything.
Try willmyphonework.net
BLN-L21 is the Intl. model, I don't think yours will work on US bands
Here are the bands that honor 6x support, 1, 3, 7, 8 and 38

I have read and people have verified with other Huawei phone that the hardware is actually capable of supporting all bands but Huawei locks them based on specific region. It can be unlocked by changing oeminfo and then flashing the rom of that region

By rebranding you can use VOLTE ,there is not restrictions and hardware support .
@PalakMi and @venugopalu007, I wasn't able to find oeminfo for BLN-L24 (US version) but I rebranded it to BLN-L21 (EU version) which enabled the wcdma band 2. At least now I have 3g working. This also confirms that hardware supports all bands and that they have just been software locked. Hope someone can provide oeminfo file for BLN-L24 (US version)

Rebrand means you have to rebrand it to us variant firmware...
For this you have to flash us variant firmware .....
Ok, I do understand, As for now I have unlocked bootloader and already installed TWRP.
I have the latest update of the emui 5.0.1 software.
Do I have to directly flash the update.app from honor system recovery or the update.zip from twrp. Any need to downgrade first or just flash the latest us firmware?

There are many posts scattered around with this information, and people asking about it. So i prefered to regroup this here.
So YES it is confirmed, the only places to get the OPPO Find X2 Pro 2025 , Global WITH Dual Sim are in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapour (waiting for more information if other countries have them)
It's nearly impossible to find a place to buy it online, so you need to find alternative ways like http://www.parcl.com to get it, and it will come out more expensive.
Be careful on the JD.com site from Thailand as it has various versions of the phone.
Also apparently Oppo is big in Thailand and they have shops in Bangkok, so it's easy to find (apparently the Black one is out of stock, but the Orange one can be easily found).
One member here posted this as proof, and it's thanks to him we were able to find the truth!
Oppo FInd x2 pro screenshot
I'm also interested to know that. Did you flash the EU / UK Firmware on the Thai Model with no issues? Strange i thought the Global 2025 variant all have the same firmware. But now thinking of it; as the Thai model is the only Dual SIM 2025, i'm very curious to know what differences there are... as if there are not many, this is going to be interesting to see if it's possible to port it to other 2025 single sim Models.
Could you please enlighen us and tell us the differences between the two models?

So, everyone getting Find X2 Pro from Thailand is lucky right ?
All OPPO Find X2 Pro in Thailand has 2 IMEIs as far as I know.
View attachment 5030543
and this is mine, running on .18 EU firmware
also, I was running on .21 TH firmware and that shows 2 IMEIs too.

Yes, you are right. i miss understood at first. 1 SIM can have 5G, the other is 4G. If you switch "SIM2" to 5G "SIM1" will have 4G max.

you were able to flash EU to your Thailand model? Just flashed in recovery? Sorry don't understand or do you have EU model that doesn't work dual sim?
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------
under the bands specs... this is the translation
* The function will be available on the 5G Live Network. Depending on the service area of the network. And software of certified devices It will be able to support the 5G function when it is upgraded via OTA and when the network used is ready to provide service.
meaning it doesn't support 5G currently since it is not necessarily deployed in that region but they will bring functionality via OTA...
To note, currently 865 snapdragon has 5G limitation to 1 SIM only and is being worked on currently to be patched... this is for all phones... you can either rock dual sim, dual 4G, 1 SIM 5G and 1 SIM Standby. Someone in previous post has the phone in hand and could answer better. The limitation is not Oppo's issue... its googles and Qualcomm. This is why USA OnePlus 8 Pro is currently only 1 SIM and EU OnePlus 8 Pro only supports dual sim 4G.

You have the phone... is there a 5G limitation on single sim? As you previously posted, definitely no dual 5G yet... Can you run on 5G and 4G at same time dual sim or just 4G...?

Not true.
Available officially in Malaysia and Singapore as well.
Could be available in other places as well. So it's definitely not Thailand exclusive
You are right.

Yes, I'm able to flash EU firmware and Global firmware back and forward with no issue.
EU firmware is less bloated with no theme or OPPO browser app. However, my purpose then was to get May patch cause the global rom .17 was pulled at that time.
But I'm back to .21 Global now.
If we flash it from global to EU, something might not work properly. You have to do data wiping once and everything will be fine. But that is not the case when you switch to global firmware from EU firmware.
And for the question about flashing. Yes, I did flash everything via its recovery.
Ok great to know!
Where did you get your "EU" firmware (source)?
Also, you confirm that the dual SIM is still on when you flash the Firmware (it can happen that in the UI or partition the dual SIM is not written in the code. Thanks for your help.

Hello @SAO
Does the Thailand version have non Latin characters when configured to English language?
How much did you pay for the Thailand version?
I just managed to buy the Chinese green version. I am preparing myself for flashing Global Rom (or EU Rom if there are some non Latin characters on global Rom). You confirm it is possible? Is there any tutorial for that?

I'm using PARCL...
its a buying and forwarding service... basically, you find something on the web... for example, the thailand version of the Find X2 Pro (I used the recommend mobile company site that Oppo recommends on Thailand site, believe its AIS)...
Copy the website url and total price and some additional details like color, capacity, etc.
Go on PARCL and follow their instructions (its fairly intuitive)... You basically make a request for someone in that country that forwards for PARCL to buy it for you then ship it to you in your home country... think of it as a personal shopper.
You pick from different forwarders in that country... some new, some experienced, etc.
They review and message you back that they will agree and will give you a price for their services + shipping. For me with USD conversion, it made the phone around $200 more expensive... considering I didn't have to pay tax and I choose the option for them to manipulate the customs info (basically they send as gift as opposed to purchase, helps to avoid tariffs, aliexpress does the same thing) Its not the greatest deal but I am getting a phone in Indiana from Thailand and didn't have to fly there personally...
You pay the total fee (phone cost + their service + shipping) all together with paypal. This lets it be under buyer protection... so even if there's a scam.. you can get your money back for the most part from paypal.
Then basically you wait and stay in contact with your forwarder...
for me, mine should reach him Friday then ship after that... about 12 hours ahead.... then he will take to DHL and ship to me... Will have it in hand next week.
They will typically take a picture when they have it in hand before shipping to you as well.
I mean you could probably hop on a plane and get it yourself faster... but that fairly fast.
This is my first time using the service... its fairly legit... like anything, it has good and bad ratings... but with using paypal for payment... it keeps you protected as far as getting what you ordered... I'll let you know once I get it to give my full recommendation and I will even give my forwarder's name so you can look for him if you decide to go that route...
Unless you know someone going there.... I could not find a store shipping overseas.... plus, how legit is it to give over your credit card to a shop in Thailand or Malaysia??? really? This sounds like a much better "safer" method to me! :good: :fingers-crossed:
I already have the Malaysian version .. if there is any questions I will be happy to help .
