So I need a rom for MTK6889 S21+ Ultra and I want to upload it via adb sideload. But I have one problem, I can't find any rom for this phone. And could any of you help me find such a rom? I searched wherever I could but couldn't find it. But I also noticed in the band version and there is MARLIN2, I was also looking for this, but some printing machines popped up or something else. Sorry I'm using Google Translate because of not good english. I'm from Poland and my phone is in Polish lang.
There’s no way you’re gonna find a room for a knockoff phone unless u can build or port one yourself or your device is treble compliant and can be bootloader unlocked

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 ?
Again - its not the Pro version, its the 2018 version
owde.180707.001.H1
If someone please direct me to an international rom it would be really appreciated - at the same time, if someone know what will i be missing if i switch to this version ? would i be able to use Wechat pay/Alipay still ?
Thank you

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.

Hi, can you share rom for me??
Hi Everyone ?
Just signed up and new to this world. Recently purchased an Oppo Find X2 Pro only to realize it is the Chinese ROM, model PDEM30. Huge disappointment ???
I desperately need your help in either switching to the global ROM or a custom ROM that will help me get rid of the very irritating Chinese apps and allow me to use apps like Google's Find My Device.
Any help or your kind suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much ??
I will be the sad one to tell you as no one seems to want to do so: there's no way to switch to Global ROM on PDEM30 model
The only thing you can do is to get rid of some of the bloatware using ADB but the limitations of Chinese software will stay :/ This community has been trying so long to flash the Global ROM on the Chinese version... without success.
Well i managed to flash the BETA Android 11 on the Global Firmware, and i rollback to Android Q but with CPH2025PU version as the Beta is too laggy and it worked except now my sim card is not detected...
I will try when Oppo will release a new European Firmware
Thank you for your replies
Thank you very much to you both
Guess I will be selling this phone. Am very disappointed in Oppo for limiting their phones so much.
I basically bought an X50 Pro Player edition from AliExpress at a decent price for the UK (£414 inc DHL Shipping)
And because i know that this Player Edition of the phone only seems to be available for the Chinese market at the moment and might not even get released in the EU or anywhere else globally.
I assume that the firmware on it will be the CN version and there possibly wont be any other versions available for this specific model RMX2072.
The main differences as far as i know on this model compared to the normal EU specced X50 pro's is that this edition has LPDDR5 and is using UFS 3.1 instead of 3.0, and that the front and back camera setups are downgraded on the player edition, everything else from what i can see is pretty much exactly the same as the normal x50 pro.
My question is that because i am UK based i would prefer to use the EU X50 Pro Rom, but would i be able to flash the EU rom onto this version of the phone?
yeah i would like to know this too since i am considering buying one
Hmmmmm take that as a no lol
you can try the same method as here described

I suppose it's the one from the link in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83037269&postcount=24
If you cared to read the whole thread which is quite short for now, you'd see it yourself.
Regretfully, I am still waiting for my phone to arrive, so I can't check it myself yet.
I also compared that custom RMX2076EU_OTA11_A.20 with the stock version, and I had only found 2 differences:
1. The file \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script is a little different.
The author of the custom ROM just deleted the part in the beginning where it should check if your phone model is RMX2076EU. So, basically, you can try to install it on any phone you like, but the consequences would be quite unpredictable. So it's better to install it on RMX2071CN only, for which this customized ROM was intended.
2. The file \firmware-update\modem.img is the one from stock RMX2071_OTA11_A.18
I don't know why the author didn't use modem.img from RMX2071_OTA11_A.20. Maybe it wasn't released yet by the time that custom ROM was made.
This custom ROM seems to be a proof of concept that EU ROM can be ported to CN version, but the author of the above mentioned post claims that it doesn't work otherwise than upgrading from stock RMX2071_OTA11_A.18 to this customized RMX2076EU_OTA11_A.20, and that the kernel is different in RMX2076EU_OTA11_A.22, so you can't upgrade further this way. I'll be sure to check this myself when my phone finally arrives. I also presume that someone more knowledgeable may be able to customize this port further to make Play Market certification work as well. We only need to wait until someone with actual skill and knowledge starts working on it.

Hello guys thanks in advance for your help, I've been reading a lot and i managed to connect my chinese watch4 (SM-R870) to my laptop with ADB,
but I stll can't connect it to my European s21 ultra the message I get is " Can't pair with galaxy watch4". I guess is a firmware issue, but I can't find the no chinese one anywhere.
Please help
Thanks a lot
VHave you already found a solution to this problem?
Same problem here, wish there is a way to flash the global rom or at least install play store and GMS.
No solution yet, waiting for the firmware to come out
Dose anyone found any workaround for this problem?

Hey Jsigno, did you overcome your issues? I can't connect GW4 China watch to my OnePlus 8T with OxygenOS.
The watch did connect once using SH. But I gave up on the watch due to no Google Play apps. Was going to try the sideload method. But this time absolutely no joy. What a joke of a device IMHO.
Any support gladly welcomed!
