Hi, everyone,
i bought the Huawei Honor 9 chinese version (STF-AL00), is it possible to change the chinese version by the european version (STF-L09) through only FirmwareFinder (FF) Software ?
I'm asking that, because i saw a tutorial from someone, where he changed the chinese to european ROM just using the FF software. Basically, in FF, after the proxy configurations, when you search for a model to update, you change the model name for an european model (STF-L09...) and, after that, when you go to update option from device and ask for updates, the newest ROM (STF-L09...) will be available, so just confirm to install and reboot.
The procedure above really works ? I'm asking that because this procedure was done in other Huawei device, and not Honor 9.
I'm not with the device yet, not arrived from China.
I want to do so. Some Phonefixer on Taobao said they can do that but it is a little expensive（for me and other Chinese）.It costs 190 yuan to do that.

Could that possibly brick your device? Seeing as the Chinese version of the Honor 9 and the EU version use slightly different hardware?

Hi everyone,
I just bought a Honor 9 STF-AL00, build: STF-AL00C00B201.
As it is the chinese version, can anyone tell me the difference between it and the european version? Is it only software?
I would like to know if I can stay with the chinese version r if it is necessary to install the european firmware, because i read that some users bricked their phones when rebranding from chinese to european.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! thanx!
I've been notified of an update to STF-AL00 8.0.0.336 (C00) few days ago. I did not update yet because I was not sure if it would be possible to rebrand it after that.
I've also installed GMS yesterday from a chinese site. I did not log in my gmail account yet.
Which choice is better: rebrand or stay under the chinese version?
Rebranding from chinese to european ;
HUAWEI THEME STORE
Pros:
-access to chinese region huawei themes and wallpaper database. There is a lot more of themes in chinese store than on 'balance' europeean store. But on chinese store, some of these extra themes are sold.
Cons:
-may need a chinese huawei account which need a chinese +86 phone number to validate and use a chinese huawei account.

This phone looks good and balanced.
If I buy in China, it looks better because the RAM is 6GB at similar price.
I would like to be able to rebrand a non-Chinese rom just like any other Huawei product.
In other Huawei products, how long did it take?

Hey there,
thanks for your answers, I had the same question as the one starting this thread.
Now I became a little sceptic since the updates mentioned in the thread that's linked above, are for the honor 10 model COL-L29 (4gb RAM) – the 6gb RAM version has the code COL-AL10 though – are there any updates / EU ROMs for COL-AL10 that someone knows of?
I guess you can't just install firmware for the 4gb version on the 6gb version, or can you?
Would be awesome if someone knows of something or maybe has the 6gb version themselves + official Global/EU ROM on it.

Currently very little is known about this device software and hardware variants.
Though the device is launched with Emui 8.1 some models have march or april or may android update out of the box. we need to wait till june security update to know more about it.
Most of the EU variants are updated to may security patches.
Yes stock ROM available
Yes stock ROM for L29 is available. I have seen somewhere. That was for Europe and some other countries and B104.

You are in wrong section its for Honor 10 not 10 lite you need to post in that forum.
BTW do you have bootloader unlocking code ?
If not I think there will be anyway to rebrand it.
how to rebrand Mate 20 pro from chinese version to asia version ?
Need it too
I would also be interested in rebranding as certain apps such as Google Photos (not uploading unless open) and Google Nest (no notifications) do not work properly even after adjusting the power and notification settings.
Would installing Kangvip help or...?
you may not do that .because the china version got software difference between other version flash that may cause serious problem for example the band support the system OTA
Wrong thread tho
I wante to know how to rebrand Mate 20 pro from asia version to chinese version .

Hi,
I bought 1 year ago the Media Pad M5 Pro unbranded from eBay.
I never received any update till now Still on Android 8.0.0 ( Build Nr CMR-AL19 8.0.0.199 (C431)
Huawei Support told me multiple times there is no update available for my device.
But I think they are wrong.
I think it just got the wrong Cust (C431 is made for "providers" but mine has no brand but this firmware)
C432 receives all the updates from Huawei.
So my question is how I can change my Cust from C431 to C432 or directly flash a C432 firmware?
I hope someone can help me in easy steps I think I am not the only one on the whole internet with this problem but in non-forum a solution.
Thanks

changing to c432 (which is the m5 wifi version, with Kirin 960s not Kirin 960) is quit risky - bootloop
but u could go for the testpoint method and flash treble gsi android 10, need to open bootloader
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/downgrade-unbrick-huawei-device-methods-t3915693
its a bit easier with HCU client and dc phoenix( u need the dc unlocker anyway -to unlock bootloader - unfortunatly no other way) but HCU is 20 bucks time license for 3 days
if you really want the the super easy way there is a guy doing it for 30 bucks but u need to give him access to your windows pc(i wouldnt do that) https://ministryofsolutions.com/paid-services
if u find an easier way pls tell me, i gave an cmr-w09 (m5 wifi) and its running super smooth on havoc os(custom android 10)
Hello, I'm planning to buy one of the newest Xiaomi tablets and everything for me depends on availability of global ROM, because of polish language in this version of firmware. Will 5g Pro version be available globally, is there any info about that? There are 3 versions (with different hardware names so every version have it own uncompatible firmware and can be or not sold globally) standard, Pro and Pro 5g. Of course i would like to buy 5G Pro version, but for now i found only review of standard version with global firmware. (Tablet is sold with Global Russia version in Belarus from 5 sept) And i have few questions for you, maybe you know answers for them, will 5G version will be available with global MIUI? Maybe only Pro without 5g version or only standard version will be/are sold globally? Can I download Global Russia version for Pad 5/Pad 5 Pro? (If its sold with it it should be available for download) If no, when it should be available, when first update appears? And last somebody have successfully rooted this device? Greetings
I don't know if mipad5 5g will sell in your region or not, but it can be root using magisk. Also twrp rec available( unofficial, made by a Chinese developer)

I don't have twrp imagine, I.saw an article in an Chinese forum which the author clammed that he had twrp for mipad5 and need to pay for it. But I saw some comments said twrp made by this developer is difficult to use, so I missed it.

The PRO version does not have twrp, and the twrp compiled by the developer of the Chinese forum does not work properly, but only displays the time at the top of the screen.The PRO version does not have twrp, and the twrp compiled by the developer of the Chinese forum does not work properly, but only displays the time at the top of the screen.
