Update chineese PLK-AL10 to english version, preferably to Android 6.0 - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry in advance for possible duplicate posts. I failed in all searches that I performed.
I bought an Honor 7 PLK-AL10 in China. I would like to ged rid of a number of chinese applications that are not helpful to me and make the phone more "googlish".
The current firmware version is PLK-AL10C00B190 and I am interested in installing english version of firmware. Is it possible??
Even more, may I update my current PLK-AL10C00B190 to PLK-L01C432B320 (Android6.0, EMUI4.0)??
Thanks in advance for help

Why bother to 'install' English fw? (even let alone if possible). Simply disable & uninstall some of the Chinese apps. Set locale/ language to International/English.
Regarding 'making it more googlish', review this post for a start; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3233228

Goophone 4GS Won't Load Recovery
Hi, I own a Goophone 4GS. After running 4GS-REC-ROOT and rebooting pressing (+) button and power button to open Chinese recovery, the device stays on the apple logo. The only way to boot the phone up again is by pressing the button inside the headphone jack. This means that I can not install a new rom, because the device won't load recovery.

[Q] Some help with a chinese cellphone with Android

Greetings everyone, before I made this very first post on the forum I can assure that I used the search option. So this is my little problem. A friend of mine just bought a phone made in China with Android OS (sounds pretty stupid to me). The problem is that the menu contains several sections where the english language is not available, but only chinese.
The most important thing I would like to know is what softwares should I use to upgrade the phone to a better version with full English menu, it would be nice to have Romanian language too but the main issue is to get rid of the chinese thing. The phone is using Android 2.3.6, if anyone could help I could provide all the information about the software versions of the phone. Also I can post a picture or the phone name if this helps with something. Many thanks!
Hi The phone make and model would definitely help. I'm sure you can't be the only person that would need english on that device!
What's the name of the cell....and intalling a new custom rom will solve your problem
Using XDA premium through A5
Press thanks on help
MCT 666 is the name of the phone. Another phone that he just bought is a Daxian XY 100. To be honest I've never heard of them before.
Search for their custom rom
Using XDA premium through A5
Well I did but I couldn't find anything so this is why I'm asking for help. Would Cyanogen help me with this matter?

Lenovo S960 Vibe X

I have bought a Lenovo Vibe X and love the device. I recently got it rooted and thought that now everything will be great and i will be able to use the phone as my primary phone. Unfortunally I cant get Google apps to work. It makes me crazy. Iv tried to just install the APK:s but google services just crashes all the time. Google play starts but terminates.
BTW I rooted it with Vroot. http://www.mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot
What I can understand from reading on different sites is that I need a speciall rom or a CWM custom made for this model to push in Gapps? Have I gotten it right?
Have some one got it to work on this phone.
Help

Hisense a6 (double screen)

Hi,
I just bought from China, Hisense a6 with double screen.
It comes without google play. I have tried to install google play manually without any success.
I have tried with apkmirror, installing manually. I also tried with googleinstaller 2.0 and 3.0. But both method did not give any result.
Is there a way to install googleplay on the device or any international stock rom?
Thanks
wij
be
I also want ot solution of same things. Anyone please help me out.
From what I know it's impossible unfortunately, because Hisense locks down any possibility to install google services.
I think you could use Yalp store to replace google play store. For google play services, I'm not sure it would work, maybe you could use the open-source solution like microG?
Hi,
The problem is not only on google play store, but it is impossible to create google account, for gmail, contact, calendar, etc.
Eventhough, I can install other apps, but without sync all the basic, it is practically unuseable.
Is there any solution for this?
thanks

Hi,
I want to get the A6 too but I am using gmail and calendar so much that it's a no-go for me if I can't install them...
Do you know how they lock the possibilities to install google service? There must be a workaround.
Or do you think using another android image could help? Maybe we can just install the app/drivers needed for the eink?

can't share them as I have less than 10 post. But if you try "安装google hisense a6" you will find some thread on fan forum of hisense.
Dunno but it looks like it can't be done. Now we must find why and how to bypass it...

Actually, I've watched posts in some Chinese forums and nobody have ever found a solution for installing google play services on Hisense phones. I think the only way to use google is to wait the release of the "export edition" with google play services, since Hisense basically "locks down" the possibility of installing google play services and rooting. But it seems any of the "export edition" of Hisense has the problem with updating firmware.

That is a bad news.....
What I think very frustrating is that Hisense advertize their phone at the CES so that everyone know, then they release it only on China without any plan of global release.
Even more annoying they give basically no information about it. I tried contacting them on every possible email but had only a "we currently have no plan for global release".
I mean why would they even care to lock google framework. That does not make sens that the company would try to lock it, I thought it would be the Chinese government that was locking it locally in China. I would be Hisense, on the contrary I would release unofficially a bypass for this google lock to make more sells.
It's just what happenned with the yotaphone 3, it was not available for global customers for a long time, until people got uninterested and that a newer model finally got available. No surprise they are not doing good sells.
here is full bin package for A6, and I'm trying to unzip the bin file. I was wondering if one get to know how to pack the bin file , then you can add magisk/google service app into the boot/system partition and flash it with QPST tool.
link:https://pan.baidu.com/s/1cqwtWLtrAHyXC7rR0EL9IA download code:i7rc
uzip pwd:55925
here is a basic tutorial to walk through the bin file.

i guess it's the reason from google inc. Cuz if hisense wants to put gapps into their phones, they must be certified by google, with money and legal stuff. Chinese government has no limitation on the gapps installation. Currently in China most phones made by Xiaomi, Huawei, Vivo/Oppo and of course oneplus have google framework . (but you will need to try to install one google app like maps or youtube to activate it.)
Oh I thought google/youtube was still locked in China.
I just checked and found that you are right, it's google that is preventing the framework from working on uncertified devices since 2017 : https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2018/04/google-services-blocked-on-uncertified-devices/
What is this bin package exactly? What do you mean unzip it? For me bin means binary file, so unzip I guess you mean retroengineering to get back source code? This sound like virtually impossible isn't it? Unless this kind of bin package which structure is similar to every android bin package?
Now that we know what is the issue maybe there's a way around it I'll dig into it.

I just checked and found that you are right, it's google that is preventing the framework from working on uncertified devices since 2017 : https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2018/04/google-services-blocked-on-uncertified-devices/
What is this bin package exactly? What do you mean unzip it? For me bin means binary file, so unzip I guess you mean retroengineering to get back source code? This sound like virtually impossible isn't it? Unless this kind of bin package which structure is similar to every android bin package?
Now that we know what is the issue maybe there's a way around it I'll dig into it.

yes google & youtube and many other sites are still locked in China, but you can use one VPN to bypass the block. It is possible to examine the bin structure, just see the link i posted above-using the tools provided in that link. I tried to look into it, but I don't koow which part is the boot partition. However, most part of the bin file are self-explainable. For example, the binwalk gives the offset of different android system file in the bin file. You can just extract a file with the offset address from the bin file.
Thanks,
Can you tell me more about this bin file? Where did you got it and what it is exactly? (I think I miss some basic understanding on how the android roms are made.)
What it should include and so on.

the bin file and its related info can be figured out through this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78724090&postcount=12 , using the binwalk utility on a linux system
the not certified by google error is not related to hisense a6, as a6 itself cannot install google framework, let alone the error (which only exists when you have the framework on the phone)
a hisense engineer told me that they plan to sell a6 outside China, and they have a gapps ROM version for it. You can mail your phone to them and request them to flash that custom ROM into your phone (for free).
Thanks for the info!
Not sure to understand correctly, you need to mail physically the phone to them in China? Then they send it back to you? Or send them your phone number? But then I don't see how that would help them flashing the ROM.
Have you done it already ?
If you can pm me the engineer contact to get the room? I tried to contact hisense on various email but got no usefully reply so far.
PS: so I guess global version will be same hardware right? Not like yotaphone2 ? Cause I got the Chinese yoga version which gave me lot of bugs even with global ROM.

yes, he told me to physically send the phone to them and they will flash a beta version google-rom into it. I will not do that as I've sold my a6 already.
I can ask for his permission whether to share the ROM info after the Chinese new yr.

Can i know why you sold it? Was it because you were not satisfied and if so by what problem?
Buying it from China to France, then send it back from france to china for in the end have it back from China sounds like a lot of shipping...
If you can send me his name or email or wechat or anything then perhaps I can discuss with him
But as you say with CNY he probably won't reply.
A reseller in China told me Hisense planed to release global version after CNY, within 50 days from now. But not sure if his info was correct.

How to install international ROM on Honor 10 COL-AL10

Hello,
I bought a Honor 10 COL-AL10 in China and would like to install the international/global ROM on it, because some things on the phone sticks on Chinese language and I think I'm not realizing its full potential.
Can someone help?
What kind of things on ur phone sticks on Chinese Language?

Installing an international ROM may need bootloader unlock code.

Some configurations, Huawei Assistant, SmartCare, even in English language they are shown in Chinese. Also, with every atualization of the EMUI, the Play Store is uninstalled. And some Huawei apps that are all Chinese and others functions not working, like the Find Phone.
What is the bootloader unlock code? How do i get it?
What is ur system build number? My build number is 10.0.0.156. I switched to English (I am a Chinese user so for me, it's not a problem )and found that only part of Magazine Unlock, HiVoice ,a small part of SmartCare, a small part of Hitouch and a small part of HiSearch are shown in Chinese. Also, some apps designed for Chinese users such as Honor Choice and Vmall are shown in Chinese.
You can try to open AppGallery--Me--Settings--Country/Region, select your own Country/Region and then restart the phone. If the problem still exists, you can read the thread "Successfully rebanding Chinese COL-AL10 to European COL-L29", but you need a bootloader unlock code. Bootloader is something that can be used to flash different partitions in your phone(if it is unlocked), but it can be easy for you to brick your phone if you don't use the right files to flash. However, Huawei stopped providing bootloader unlock code in 2018. Plus, you can also send an email to Huawei to ask for a solution.
And Google play isn't automatically uninstalled, I think. You can't see it because it's version is too low. Last year, you might be able to use AppGallery to update it. But it's said that Huawei has stopped cooperating with Google recently, so you can't find Google play in AppGallery(at least in China) now. HUAWEI is trying to make HMS more and more popular in the world recently, so you can try AppGallery. I'll search the Internet for the way to make Google Play show again later.

A Chinese App called 应用宝 may help(I only know some Chinese apps because I'm a Chinese), you can search for "Google play store" in the app and tap 更新, which means 'update'.
