Huawei P20 Pro 6/64 CLT-AL01

Hello everyone
I got my Huawei P20 Pro 6/64 CLT-AC01 today in the mail.
It is locked to Chinese region, and doesn't has any of the gapps installed.
I looked for several hours through the forum and on Google today, and I can't find any way to flash a different region ROM to it (often referred to as Debranding)
Also, I read that Huawei canceled the option to unlock the bootloader - I tried it on several ways today and got to a 404 on the unlock page.
Could someone tell me how do I change the region of the device to a normal international one?
Thanks! Can't wait to start using this beautiful device.

Your last option might be funkyhuawei

Yours is uncommon one indeed. 90-99% P20 Pro out there is 6/128GB, yet you have 6/64

I talked to Huawei support in 3 countries.
They refuse to supply me with an unlock code and it looks like i'm stuck with this device

You probably got either a early test device or a fake one.

It's the Chinese P20 Pro is normal to have 64GB...
I was in the same situation, same model of phone, two weeks ago but I had luck getting the unlock code the last day. When the unlocked bootloader I could debrand the phone following the guide in this forum. As they won't give the unlock code, your only option is funky or dc-unlocker when they support the phone. Also I found an indian guy that maybe could do it, his webpage is called ministry of solutions . But I don't know if it is reliable.
Good luck

Could you elaborate on how did you get the unlock code, and supply a link to the rebranding guide?

I got the code through the EMUI webpage (which doesn't work now because of Huawei's decission)
The link to guide is the following:

Do you have any updates on your case so far???
How did it end?
Did you decide to learn chinese in the end or how did you resolve it??? *smile*
As far as i know theFunkyHuawei have that model listed as "CLT-AL01C00" or is this a different one??

Global ROM? UK usage

Hi all.
I know the 8th November Xiaomi UK launch is rumoured to include the Mi Mix 3, but I'm not confident that it will. Besides, if it does it will probably be priced in line with other handsets oof similar spec in the UK.
I'm thinking of buying one from a Chinese source such as AliExpress or Gearbest, but I'm now questioning if I'll be able to load a global ROM on it or not?
This article states that phones pre installed with Chinese ROM cannot have Global installed: https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/09/...-miui-china-rom-no-longer-support-global-rom/
Does anyone know if this is the case? When I got my original MIX I was able to flash Global with no problems.
Thanks,
Dom

You can flash a global rom on a China device, but you can't relock bootloader

Ok thanks... So if you can't re-lock the bootloader, I guess apps like Google Pay won't work?

Sorry for the double post.
Do you have any detail about that? Or a source?
My original Mix 1 bootloader was unlocked, Global flashed, and then re-locked.
Has this changed recently?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I believe the UK release is rumoured to be the Mi 8 Explorer. So I will probably order a CN Mix 3 and hope that the China ROM is fully compatible with the UK after GAPPS are installed.
I don't think UK apps such as google pay, and most mobile banking apps, will work if the bootloader is unlocked. But I may be wrong. Anyone know?

Banking apps (atleast mine) run fine on a bootloader unlocked rooted device. I didn't try Google pay

I also have an unlocked bootloader on my Mi Mix and have no issues with Banking apps (when using Magisk).

Mine should be here anyday, with mi mix I have no problems with any apps, Los 16 coming soon apparently for mi8, which will need minimum twerking to work on mix 3, don't forget there's also twrp to test. How I can unlock instantly

Hi,
Can I ask how you got on? Thinking of getting it but unsure if it'll work.
Also what site did you purchase the Mix 3 on.

This and maybe EU rom out soon, tomorrow global without unlock if you believe the rumors

You guys think there's going to be major hardware differences with the new Global 5g version coming out in 2019 (besides the 5g capability of course) ?OR the rest of the specs should be the same? I'm not sure on ordering one now or wait for the global one to be released. But I'm assuming that the 5g should be more expensive.

I have the mi mix 3 Chinese version 256gb.. Love the phone but I can't get Google Assistant to work. I read in another post that we have to root the phone but I think the Global version will have it all preinstalled and allow the Xiaoai button to control OK Google... This is honestly the only thing I'm waiting for assuming we're able to flash the Global rom on top of the Chinese one...

oppo updates schedule

Dear oppo owners
I never used an oppo phone before but am thinking about the find x2 pro, i just wanted to know frankly if oppo is fast in updates specially the major os updates or not
And does it guarantee 2 major Android versions same as Samsung or not
Thanks in advance

Yea want to together to you

would like to know this too
if Oppo has a tool like Odin akin to Samsung where we can download fw and flash ourselves for the monthly Android security patches at least.

So far so good. Since I've got the device there was 2 software update (just received the second one today)
CPH2025_11_A.10 with March security patch and some improvements in system. Also Facebook got dark mode by default.

Where did you purchase your Find, did it have Chinese firmware or was it the global version. Mine has the Chinese and I want to change it over to the global.

It would require unlocking your bootloader, and I'm pretty sure you cant do that on Oppo devices.
EDIT: It appears I was wrong. I did a bit of research and from what I understand, you can only unlock the bootloader on Chinese variants. But it still is kinda difficult to do. From another thread
"You can only unlock your bootloader once your Oppo ID has been logged into the phone for 60 days or more."
"They only accept 15,000 applications per month and the quota refreshes on the 16th of the month."
But please let me know if you find out any more information about this. I ordered a Find X2 yesterday and I'm probably gonna want to flash a global ROM to get rid of the Chinese bloatware apps. Thanks in advance.

update schedule oppo
hi guys, for those with software update problems there is a solution:
download a free vpn from the playstore, start the vpn by locating the country of purchase of your oppo find x2 pro, access the settings, software update, and you will see that it immediately notifies you of the new firmware update. start the download, and after 10 seconds turn off the vpn and continue the download in wifi. I tested it on my oppo and received 2 updates. sorry my english.

perfect! I was on A06, now I am on A14

I'm on the PDEM30_11_A.07
I tried updating using a VPN tunner bear connected to Hongkong, Singapore and India. All told me that my current version is the newest.

I believe it only works on a global version. you should try to synchronize with the vpn the state where you bought your oppo.

Just found this one. Not sure if this works on non-international versions.
CPH2025_11_A.13

TMO to Global Flash?

Has anyone had any luck flashing Tmobile's OP8 with the firmware from the global model? When I had my OP7Pro, I recall flashing the global firmware to improve the overall experience, as TMO is TERRIBLE when it comes to updates. Is this even feasible with 5G?
And before you ask why I didn't just buy the global model... I am on EIP on Tmobile.

If I am correct; People are waiting for one plus to fix the IMEI not accepted issue on the one plus unlock bootloader site; after which people will start unlocking and reflashing the global version. I am waiting at least.

That's correct, without an unlocked bootloader were stuck atm lol

Understood, thanks guys.

OnePlus fixed the invalid IMEI message on their website so now you can submit your unlock code and get your unlock token then you can unlock your bootloader, a way to flash is being worked on ???

unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, make a full back up, also you should back up persist just in case your fingerprint stops working, then flash the global firmware fastboot ROM, then flash TWRP restore the MODEM ONLY from the full backup and root etc

Question Playstore and Global release

This device looks great. Do you guys know if this will be launched with the Playstore in China or will this have a Global release in the near future?
I couldn't find the ROM for this device in MIUI forms, do you guys know if and when the ROM will be released so that we can get Root for this device?

I bought it from Wanda mobile, Chinese/English languages and all Google matters installed. They are going to ship July 15th. I believe they'll create a global version but I don't think immediately.

The Xiaomi EU forum will probably be the first to release a more generic ROM but in fastboot versions until a working twrp is produced.
Mine too is coming from Wanda and as said, it will come with a basic Google with playstore but I will flash the first Xiaomi EU fastboot ROM as soon as I can.

It might kind of a dumb question but is it possible to flash Magisk without a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) because if I can't root it as soon as I get it, I probably won't buy the phone haha

No phone has a working twrp on release. It needs the guys who can, to work on it and modify a twrp version to match the new phone. So everyone will have to wait for that.
Normally a custom fastboot ROM gets released until a working twrp is found and then custom ROMs tend to be in a twrp flash version and of course ability to flash magisk. Just hand on a while until a twrp is found before buying.

Thanks for the answer
How long do you think it would take for a custom fastboot ROM to be released?

Probably a couple of weeks after release? Check out the Xiaomi EU forum for its release, as those are the guys who will have the first but also check out https://mifirm.net/model/thor.ttt for all the latest releases and twrp releases.

I had no idea that mifirm website had existed, I'll keep track. Thanks again!

This is exciting. I'm waiting for mine in Canada, bought internationally. Not sure where mine will be coming from. I usually buy internationally.
Hoping for a quick mod fastboot edition of the ROM to install for removal of junkware and inclusion of PlayStore plus better battery optimizations by default.

Based in the US and I ordered one from Giztop.com on July 4th and received it yesterday (July 11th.) Looking forward to switching the Chinese Rom to another rom. It came with the Google Playstore.

Do you think android auto will be available to this model?

have you had luck with 5G? am using the mi 11ultra in the usa on t-mobile. it can access 5GNSA but not their 5GUC which is about 5 times faster.

Ordered from Giztop back on 7/7 and its out for delivery today. Plan on using it on my T-Mobile line so ill report back once I pop my sim in it!

How much did you pay for it?

Anyone had theirs ship from Wonda yet?
