Question about rebranding BKL-L09 to BKL-L04 - Honor View 10 Questions & Answers

I am trying to get LDAC support for my Honor View 10 (BKL-L09) and already contacted the Huawei support. The gave me some information about the US version BKL-L04 and that it is supporting LDAC from scratch, but the european model does not. I really don't know why the european model is lacking LDAC, but I know that rebranding a Huawei/Honor phone is possible.
Will rebranding to BKL-L04 work and will I still have the same features I got with my BKL-L09?
Are there any more benefits from rebranding, or will I lose functions like FDD-LTE bands, losing warranty, etc.?
Hope someone can give me more information about this.

Which region is the H60L04 V100R001C00B103? which bands used? How to upgrade?

Hello good afternoon:
Buy me a particular honor 6 months ago. I have contacted the support page of hihonor to ask for the version that brings my honor to be the V100R001C00B103. I came in a white box, comes back to be the H60L04 model, same settings, the version I hisuite detected smoothly, the IMEI is correct. My question is I have android 4.4.2 and am trying to figure out what the update that corresponds to me, but to do that I wonder at what my honor6 region belongs ?. For the model it is Europe and is one sim. I would also like to know that my model uses 4g bands. Location Andalucia Spain, and in principle and works well **** me 4G network, but want to know that frequency bands used my model. And I repeat, I want to find out what is my honor region in June? I hope you can answer my questions, because I have not been so far able to find more information about my model. Greetings and thank you very much everyone for your help. Forgive my English

NXT-AL10 versus NXT-AL29

Does anyone know, really, what are the differences between the versions NXT-AL10 and NXT-AL29?
It has to do with the regions where they are sold?
The software is different from one version to another?
I ask this questions is because I've read almost all of the post on this forum, and frankly, I could not understand what the differences are...
IMHO I think the answer to this question is the key in order to install the different versions that are not yet available, but certainly in the near future will be.
By the way, my Mate 8 has the NXT-AL10C00B156 version. It is the Chinese or international version?
As others have said, I am also impressed with the overall performance of this machine, and my only disappointment results from the pre-installed software that has huge Chinese junk (of course, no offense to the Chinese people I greatly respect).
Thanks a lot
AL10 = chinese version, unlocked
TL00, DL00, CL00 = chinese versions, locked to chinese carriers
L29 = international version, unlocked, dual sim
L09 = international version, unlocked, single sim, only available in 3/32 GB
only differences between AL10 and L29 are in the preinstalled software (AL10 has "chinese junk" on it and no preinstalled google apps & services, opposite is the case with L29 & L09 models)
also, they differ in one single supported LTE band: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9878/the-huawei-mate-8-review
scroll down for the specs table, differences are listed there
thats it! and exactly because theyre so similar we can crossflash roms between the two models
cheers
Do you guys think we'll be able to flash the Chinese models into fully thinking they're L29?
good question, no idea. in principle, wed only need to manipulate the device name in about phone, so as to fool future OTA´s
I had the 10, returned for the 29 with preloaded Google Apps. I was having an issue on the Chinese version with Google Apps and my Google account. The Chinese language on some apps was annoying as well. Now with the International version all is good. Plus it was cheaper.

Some of you guys have any idea if briefly there will be a European version of the L29 ,as to L10 this will never happen ...
That would be ideal as we would be with 64 (which is my case ) or 128GB and the fully functional mobile phone !
Hi All,
I bought TL00 (China Mobile). Can I root it? And flash international rom?
hm, where are u located? have u made sure that it works with sim cards from carriers other than china mobile? just wondering
aside from that, some others have already flashed the international rom on their carrier locked china devices. although it didnt seem to help in terms of sim card functionality, the firmwares did seem to work. no promises though!
Huawei mate 8 NXT-AL10C00B156
Hi all,
Got my phone with all kind of chinese apps which ofcourse where of no use for me, as i do not speak Chinese. It came with google play store though so i was able to not only get rid of the apps they allowed me to delete and inhabilitated others. Installed all I wanted and more or less I am happy. The phone is absolutely great with 128GB and do not feel any yearning to the many samsungs I had in the past and got fed up about, and which I always bought in Asia with Dual sim i need for my double geaographical life. Would only wish to get the European version if their is guarantee that it works. I am far from an expert but have installed several times in the past different IOS via ODIN with good result. If anybody has tried this change with succes from the chinese IOS to the European variant, kindly indicate.
Thanks in advance,
Br

NXT-DL00 - Locked?
Hello
I have Huawei Mate 8 NXT-DL00. What it means is locked for Chinese carriers. And if anyone tried to unlock it? I use this phone from 01.10.2016 in Poland. I think it works well but I can not change the language in the application Hiapp to any other without bushes nor register - server always busy, try later. I thought me change the software on the other, and everything will be fine.
Regards
MJ

are you able to get group text messaging functions like you would on a US based phone? for example a galaxy s7 that was bought in a Verizon store.
i bought the international redmi 3pro and i cannot get normal group messaging functions, i cannot see the group messaging all together in 1 single group text. it sends all responses to me as individual messages instead of a group. i dont want to buy the mate8 if it does that as well. i want my old group messaging functions back
depends on the app youre using i guess... also check and see if the app settings include anything about group messages.

Any idea ?
Can we use dual sim on AL10 ?

Model number variants - US and Berlin

I have previously owned a 5x and now I just purchased a 6x. Looking through the forums, I am unsure of what is what with all the variants. I see recoveries that work with the "Berlin" variant. Is this the same as the US variant. Could somebody summarize the different types of Honor 6x and give the product IDs for the various types...
i.e. Berlin (BLN-L24....)
Mine is a BLN-L24C567B360. This is a US version, but I am confused if it goes by other names as well. Thanks!

Honor 6x Global ROM NEEDED

Hello XDAers .. anyone knows wich model numer is the Honor 6X Global version..? also anyone knows where to find a Global ROM for 6x..? Can it be debranded to Global..? The oeminfo file can be downloaded..? I don´t need NFCs so thos rom can be perfect for me... Any help please..? Thanks in advance and best regards.
Honestly i never saw a build for Honor 6X marked as "global", nor I've read about it here on XDA. Every build is region-specific, so i suppose that the best way to achieve what you want is to flash a stock AOSP GSI, Phh-Treble builds for being accurate. You'd need an unlocked bootloader in way to do everything, though.

Thanks so much for answering... I was asking because i have tried 2 different roms (debranding using shashank1320 guides) and they have not fullfilled my needs.. then, just googleing, found Honor 6xes for sale on china stores like gearbest and those alike claiming to be " global " versions.. then I thought in the posibility of finding one of those ROMS on the web.. (nowadays i keep searching...) The point is.. i read users post saying they do debranding to 6X but the won´t flash this or that other rom because they don´t wanna lose 4G bands.. so it came to my mind that is a real thing that bands and frecuencies on 6x are limited by regions and software... and going from that maybe and just maybe i was going to be able to sove my need... and that need is the activation and use of the 3G Band on 900 MHz and or the 4G Band on 1800 MHz.. as the users say all hardware on 6x is the same.. changing on software for different regions... Well i´m about to give up because after 2 rebrandings of my L24 variant i´m unable to use those bands so i´m stucked on 2G extra slow internet conection... (can only use whatsapp for texting, and sometimes facebook mesenger) ... I was hoping also some guru tells me " Oh thats is achievable on the 6x if you root it an edit this file.. or that file.." but no i´m not that lucky... So any help here will be very apreciated.. even an advice telling me to stop because that is completely impossible... Thanks in advance for any consideration regarding this issue..
There will never be a global ROM man, you can be sure of this since that official software support for Honor 6X has ended almost a year ago. About what other users are saying i can't say the same, i'm on a GSI actually and my 4G bands works just as they should. I own an European 6X rebranded to India variant and i never had problems with bands. The faster and better way to take away the doubt however is to try by yourself. Yes, the hardware is the same (except for the presence of the NFC chip not included in all variants, but it's okay since that you don't care about this), based on Hi6250 architecture.
About your last sentence, i'm not aware of strings to add to build.prop in way to amplify or remove bands signal also because probably that depends by the device and the SIM of your provider. I helped you as i could: trying by yourself without waiting for a "guru" to come is faster than keep waiting, don't you think?

Thanks a million for your answer... i did the debranding first to india rom L22, did not work.. the did it for european rom L21 and it was the same.. no 3g nor 4g... so now goign back to original L24 configuration... but thanks anyway.. some friend in US that worked for Honor/huawei told me that models made for USA market does not have 3G 900 MHz and 4G 1800 MHz bansd since are not in use in that country.. so i think that 6x and other models of different brands made for that market have different hardware configuration... saldy i give up.. mostly because i fear to hard brick the phone leaving it unusable and thats the last thign i want beacuse i really like this phone.. .. . if i manage to get another phone (i like and i want a P20 Lite) then i will keep trying with other roms on the 6x... thanks a million and if this serves you i tell you that you have a new friend in Cuba... Best regards...
Many people debranded their L24 to L22, so it's not impossible but indeed your friend is right about the bands: those vary with regions, so if your L24 doesn't have the bands that your SIM requires then there will never be a way to install them after market. Another Huawei device?! You can do whatever you want obviously but if you're custom ROM/GSI oriented, just don't. Other brands offers great quality/price hardware and overall, they're third-party friendly.
Nice to have contacts in Cuba anyway best regards to you, see ya!

OnePlus 8 (IN2010) Chinese Bands vs Europe

Hello,
i would just like to know if OnePlus 8 (China version) is good enough to support 4G LTE in EU, does it have all the bands required? I've read about "band 28" which it lacks and that this will be used for 5G? I don't care for 5G (yet), so my question is, will it work for everything else, is it good enough, i'm from Slovenia if that helps, i've been checking the bands, but i'm too confused to know what to think about this, those are too confusing for me, i've been checking them, but i'm just not sure, i think it should be fine, but i'm not 100% sure, so if anyone who knows this stuff can tell me, or even better, someone who has that OnePlus 8 phone can tell me, that would be great (=
Greetings
I have just ordered a CN version for use in the UK and from what i have read it lacks 1 frequency (band 32 i think) which from what i'm aware o2 in UK doesn't use .... Is this correct anyone? (Sorry if this a thread hijack)

Hi, just to be sure we're on the same page, I read that IN2010 is the international version (5 4gLTE bands support) and IN2020 is the Chinese one, which is missing one band used here in Europe.
Are you sure IN2010 is Chinese ?

Oh thx, I didn't see that one coming , so I have 2 questions : where to search for those infos (regional variants numbers I mean) and is this a software matter or a hardware matter ? (Will there be missing/China specials bands in it or it's just software)
Edit:
Are there any global version of the OnePlus 8, if so what would be its regional variant name ?

I just use google to find out a variant. The main differences are hardware related, specifically the bands of the device. There is also a chinese version of Oxygen OS which is called Hydrogen OS , but this can change easily by flashing global unlocked OxygenOS without any compromises.
Here you can learn more about the bands in each version : https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/g1rm7e/oneplus_8_pro_versions_and_4glte_and_5g_nr/
Edit: I think there is not a global version bandwise. (US, Europe, India and China as far as i know )

Hi,
Thanks for all this clarification, indeed I've been kinda fooled by marketing speech...
I've bought the OnePlus 8 not on the OnePlus website but on another one, and the announce said "OnePlus International Version IN2010", I was like "cool, plus it's cheap, let's get this".
Now I understand the business behind the whole website (a French one): they buy in China, flash the global rom manually and sells it cheaper, but make a little margin on the final price. That's why they call it international, just because of the ROM!
I knew (but still wanted confirmation) about missing bands a HydrogenOS and now I fully understand the market scheme. So I'll be missing B28 band (used in France with my career for 4G LTE)and an EU-compatible charger. No big deal but I'm kinda disappointed in myself, not being able to see through marketing speech and candidly trusting attractive prices... Well, we learn as we make mistakes (and I'm not ready to forgot that one).
One last think, kil-movil had a section for the OnePlus 8 called "Global" with every bands marked as available, and the model number was still IN2010. I guess they're part of the deal, since when I clicked on "see offers" I was redirected to the website I bought it in.
Even the seller was lying as he said "compatible with every bands in France". And when people ask, he was denying it every single time
Thanks for your explanations tho, I'll be able to warn the next ones at least.

Yup don't worry, I can return it and having all my money back but I don't think I will, my Nextbit Robin (daily driver) is dying and not having B28 4G out of 4 other antennas available isn't a big deal. I have only 50 Mo of data so I don't use 4G often. I would have been bothered by the charger but the seller claims (if it's not a lie) that he gives us an adapter. (Comments says he does, so hopefully he'll do)
Right now the only thing I have to do is getting past the disillusionment with some good music. Have you any title to recommend?
I have here listed supported 4G & 5G bands and Carrier Aggregation combinations of OnePlus 8:
China variant: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2010
Global variant: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2013

Is it possible to activate the VoLTE service (Vodafone ITA) with IN2010?
Hello, I have just ordered the oneplus 8 through Fnac and I think it is the version IN2010, seem like I cant find any EU version from fnac ( sorry im new in France )
My question is do you know any others site selling op8 EU version if not, does the IN2010 work fine in france?
