This is the official FunkyHuawei thread for the Mate 20X.
What FunkyHuawei Supports Currently:
1. Firmware Installation / Unbricking
FunkyHuawei supports the Mate 20X for unbricking and firmware installation, but support has not yet been made public. This will be updated when it is.
2. Rebranding
Rebranding is currently not possible on the Mate 20X, even with root or unlocked bootloader. If this changes in the future, it will be updated.
Those who need to install updates and so on are welcome to contact FunkyHuawei support for help while the release of support for this model is still private.
Any other questions, feel free to ask them here.
Can you unlock the bootloader so it can be rooted?
Also, is there any difference in hardware between the 6/128 China version and the 6/128 Global version?
I see people mention google support, but how can it be impossible to install google stuff on a rooted china model?
Thanks
Hi, would these apps work on this version of the phone?
- Gboard, Google Pay(I usually use it for contactless payment), UK banking apps(HSBC, Barclays, etc)
Google pay

I dont believe there is any hardware difference just maybe 1 let band difference. Chinese model will get updates quicker as the main base is in China so there update that model first . Google pay etc worked fine on my Honor note 10 which came out in August, call it the smaller brother which has no global ROM .
I personally prefer Chinese model , can delete most Chinese apps fine , yes some will remain and some Chinese characters in certain parts but still prefer Chinese model

Huawei have become strict in unlocking so maybe not but Honor who is apart of Huawei did offer users of honour note 10 codes .
@duraaraa,
I haven't been around here much since back when we goofed around with the Mi Mix (recall I sent you one I got so you could work on it since you didn't have one). Anyways, really glad to see what you have done with FunkyHuawei and all - impressive you turned your hobby in to a business so congrats.
I am curious about buying the global from your site. I am very likely to pull the trigger for one of these soon, haven't had a Chinese phone since my Mi Mix and Mate 9 (sold the Mi Mix ultimately for being to rough around the edges in terms of software and the mid range camera but kept the Mate 9 and was pretty happy with it for a while with no real issues once setup properly). Can you give us a summary of the finer points you see as advantages to getting a global from FunkyHuawei verse just getting a Chinese version with Play store already installed?
P.S. Anyone looking for a great unlocked Note 9 with bunch of accessories and whatnot send me PM.

I think you might have mistaken me for someone else about the Mi Mix, but I did work on the Mi Mix 2. I've never actually seen a Mi Mix 1 in person
The Chinese version uses various Chinese services instead of Google Services, and some of those can't be changed. For example, for location services. For the default voice assistant. And so on.
I've heard that OK Google doesn't work on the Chinese version, while you can use it to unlock the phone on the international version, and so on.
I had thought that Chinese version wouldn't pass Safetynet, but I'm not sure. I've also heard that the Chinese version doesn't allow you to change the default launcher. The dual app feature supports whatsapp and facebook on the global version, but wechat and chinese apps on the Chinese version, and so on.
If you don't live in China, getting the global version will work out better for most people.

Certain google things can be installed on the Chinese model. But google is baked into the non-Chinese model. So things like OK Google (to wake up the phone), google assistant as default, Google used as location provider, and so on, will be available only on the international model.

As far as I know you can't unlock the bootloader or root these at present.
If 'Enable OEM Unlock' becomes select-able in developer options it would be possible.

Have not heard anything for the Mate 20 X. The Pro has the screen supplied by LG and BOE, and most of the green-color bleeding issues are from LG. The screen of Mate 20 X is supplied by Samsung.
Hi @duraaraa. I think I'm ok sticking with Chinese version. But was wondering, in the event I'd like to change it to L29, if progress has been made on rebranding. Do you think it will be possible in the coming months. Thanks!
I have China version of the Huawei mate 30 pro 5g. Can I switch version to the global one without unlocking boot loader? If it's possible, can anyone share the link?
Can't
Why? I’ve found solutions for mate 20 pro. Why it’s impossible to do something similar for our device?

Instead of shouting at us read properly, you are in the MATE 30 PRO section, go and vent your frustrations in the proper section.
And as for your complaint, I had - my wife has it now, a mate 20 Pro which came with android 9 and with each update that phone got better. Update to Android 10 whent flawless so it looks like you have a defective device.
even on p30 is the same android 10 is total crap .. 9 was gold

i had p30 pro and i sold it .. crap curved screen .. camera not that good as they all say
Its all relative...how high are your expectations and in how far do you believe all the you tube reviews on new phones?
Huawei does like Samsung and Apple a good marketing with the aim of you believing them and buying their devices and this every year.
I had a Mate 9, Mate 10, Mate 20pro and now the Mate 30pro and the only one which I was not happy with camera wise was the Mate 10. The pictures from that phone looked often like oil paintings. I disagree about the Mate 20pro, it improved after upgrading to android 10 and its camera was - is good. Cannot judge the P30pro.
I do agree that some people will never be satisfied and always find excuses to complain, I am sure that these people have nothing better to do than complaining. These people should understand that if you want to take good pictures you buy a proper camera and not a phone with a camera but then we talking again about expectations.

Someone managed to run Arcore on the MiNote10 and/or MiNote10 Pro?
On my CubotX19 i get it installed with Xposed, but every app crashes or doesn't really work.
I'm searching for a new awesome camera smartphone with a fair price and ArCore ist one of my decision Points.

thanks for your reply, after you posted this i hoped sooo much it will be listed on https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices but it isn't, even after waiting some weeks
So are you sure it's mi note 10 and not mi 10/mi 10 pro?
it's a very important feature for me, so i would be so happy if maybe you or someone else who tested it, could give me feedback about this

I own a P40 PRO with sideloaded GMS. But I´m tired of the lack of notifications vs lack of playstore and I'm thinking about selling it. I´m looking at Xiaomi 11 T. Do you think it is a downgrade? Thanks
Didn't use any other app store instead of Google Play Store ?
Aurora, for example ... or APKPure, APKMirror ...

I was on the same boat as you are and went for a s21 ultra. It was a downgrade as far as size, design, camera, battery are concerned, however I could not stand all this gms sideloading, no push notifications, no nfc payments etc..
Well, I "upgraded" for the xiaomi 11 t... After a week, I came back to P40 PRO, now without any google apps. I took this decision because the camera is incomparable and I use it a lot. I love the P40 PRO and I´ll stuck here. This is perfectly usable without GMS, in my case.
Anyone's got Mate 50 Pro and installed Google?
I've tried this method on Mate 50 pro Chinese DCO
Al00. it got successfully installed I was so happy..
BUT on next day I woke up it stopped working..
on opening of Google apps it was showing white
screen with error. so I guess we have to wait for
some more time for better way of gms on mate 50
pro.. my OS version also got updated to 3.0.0.168.
it was a 6.4 gb massive download.

Applications to use Google like Gspace, Gbox..... are just a temporary solution. Slow, draining battery, no push notifications........ Good solution is still Install Native Google.

This method is for China Domestic Version Harmony OS 3.0 Tested working well with Mate 50, Mate 50pr and Mate 40pr. You can try it on other phones with Harmony OS3.0 Hello everyone! Huawei Mate 50 Series is undeniably one of the best phones...

Hey guys, just wanted to share.
Today I used this service through telegram @gmsservices and paid 50$ to get my phone rebranded to Chinese version and got Harmoney OS installed
After that I used this guide
to install GMS, he also has videos on errors after etc. so far works great
