Hi,
I'm Mario from Italy...
It's possible to switch the firmware from BLA-L09 monosim to BLA-L029 dual sim?
I find this item https://ibb.co/exZ6v6 and I wondered if the difference was just in the firmware.
Someone has experience about it?

Is possible to switch the firmware yes. FunkyHuawei. According to reports the difference is only on firmware
Where can i buy one is these dual sim trays? Anyhow know?
I'm also interested in this and i know that is possible with Funky Huawei, but i wonder if it's also valid for my Mate 10 pro 's firmware version BLA-L09 8.0.0.122 (C55), brand TI, country IT.

So you went from Dual to Single sim? Which part was difficult driver setup on Windows or other part of the process?

Yeah I did, even though I'm now now L09 both simcard slots are still displayed
The whole process was quite difficult, although I'm familiar with rooting I've never had a Huawei phone, I'm use to a simpler and free method of rooting. It wasn't a huge issue though as Funky Huawei give awesome support

I'm practical with the technical stuff in general, but this is my first time with Huawei (coming from Nexus devices).
What i really miss with this device, is root access, especially for Ad-blocking.

Just be aware if you root you lose the data partition
well i buyed too these dual sim holder
got french MATE 10 Pro BLA-L09 but need multisim..
now trying to find a way for rebranding without pay 50$..
Unlikely, yes Funky Huawei costs money, but it takes time and money to devolop themes tools
i'm Ok for paying 15/20$ but not 50$ it's really too expansive.

They had another option and was around 30$ for 24 hours use. That was the most convenient, but i think it only lasted a few hours. Maybe they will add this option again.
There is a better way, simore sim adapter, up to three simcards plus SD card, price is about 20 used, no need to mess with system

Ragazzi buongiorno, ho anche io necessità di ri portare il Mate 10 Pro a dual sim. Attendo la procedura con ansia. So che si può e che è solo questione di tempo. Spero si possa fare presto, grazie a tutti.
Good morning guys, I also need to re bring the Mate 10 Pro to dual sim. I await the procedure with anxiety. I know that it is possible and that it is only a matter of time. I hope we can do soon, thanks to everyone.

Hello Guys. I just purchased my Mate 10 Pro but it's running on retail Demo.
I tried to remove the app by disabling the retail demo app as administrator and Unistall it but it failed.
I also tried installing the firmware which I got from getdroidtips. After creating the dload folder in the internal storage I moved the update.zip to it and shut down my phone. I pressed both volume buttons and the power button. It started flashing the firmware but after 5% it tells me that it failed.
Any other ideas guys?
You need to rebrand the phone. Your phone is demo branding, so without rebranding it will remain demo.

I figured that out too. I manged it to remov the retail demo app.
Do you have any other solution that isn't connected with paying? Not everyone has PayPal and this is like advertising to force you to pay.

There is only one solution for rebranding the Mate 10 at this time, and it isn't free. The only other thing I can think of would be getting the bootloader unlock code, rooting the phone, and trying to remove/disable anything demo-related, but you'd end up with a severely butchered phone. How did you end up buying a demo model anyway?

I bought it over the internet cheap. Of course I was suspicious but when I got the phone it came out that it was a real one. Only the demo software makes it unusable.
I need to open an PayPal account in order to do that.
I have some questions. How do I get the bootloader code?
I don't use Windows but Mac. Do I need windows 7 at all because my phone is recognized by ADB on Mac and I can give every command from there too.
After I open up my bootloader will it be again locked after the procedure? And the last one is do I receive OTA/security Uptades when I am done with everything?
Sorry for such many questions and thank you in advance for your help.

Where did you buy it? For how much? Let me know how to get a cheap one too! I need more test devices. I don't care if it's demo branding.
You'll need something like Parallels/VMWare on your Mac to install Windows to do the procedure.
You can get the bootloader code from Huawei, but I think they're unlikely to let you get it for demo units.
If you check the thread linked to above, you can find the tool/method which doesn't require you to unlock your bootloader, in case you're not able to get the code. But it will require Windows, and it's not exactly easy. Still, you only need to do it once. Afterwards, yes, you can get OTA updates, but they might not be pushed out very quickly by Huawei, based on experience with the Mate 9 series.
Anyway, if you're going to be using FunkyHuawei, it's probably best to continue the conversation in the FunkyHuawei support thread.

Have no such menu in settings. Which ROM number do you have? Mine is 132
I believe you are using L29 model, mine is A09 US specific version with 8.0.0.110 rom.
Just on the xda front page that the Mate 10 range is getting face unlock as well as raise to wake!

C432B141 and C432B142 has it.
You'd have to use HWOTA or HuRUpdater from TWRP to flash it.
Am I going to get it OTA in future, I don't want to root my phone, not so good at it...

It says I have latest software but no raise to wake or face unlock
Which update is this coming in or anyway to get it?
Just got my new Honor 8X Max in the mail and it's the chinese version (I'm living in Europe). The model number is ARE-AL00. I got the GMS installer and the Google Installer v2 and now I can open the play store, but I can't use it to install or uninstall apps, it just gets stuck on the "(un)installing" screen. When I try to install the Play store from a separate apk I usually get a program which I can't even open. And I've tried this with and without the software update. If anyone has got the Play store working on this phone I'd love to know how you did it.
Overall I'm pretty upset with this phone. I didn't realize I was getting the Chinese version and of course it comes with all kinds of censorship and ability restrictions, I spend like 10 hours trying to figure out how to root it and it turns out Huawei decided to make unlocking the bootloader impossible only a few months ago and funkyhuawei (with their insane prices) can't even do anything for a Qualcomm chipset so I'm S.O.L. I don't think the Chinese company I bought from will give a refund after the box is opened so I'm basically out my $300 if I want another phone. I was excited to be getting such great hardware for such a low price but the lack of functionality and customizability makes it a complete waste.

Same situation here, here is what I did to get Play Store works on my Honor 8X :
- Turn on the "Authorize unknown source apps install thing"
- Install GMS installer to get the Play Store works
- Install Gboard to get rid of the chinese keyboard everywhere.
But still, I'm searching for the Global Firmware and according to a Honor / Huawei Customer Agent, they do not allow firmware downloads anymore.
Hope this can help other people in the same case...

Thanks a lot for the help. My more-tech-savvy friend encouraged me to use F-droid and Yalp and that has been working fine so I'm going to give that a try before insisting on getting Google back...I emailed Huawei customer support about unlocking the bootloader and received an interesting response:
"We kindly inform you that in order to achieve a better user experience, Huawei has decided to terminate the unlock code application service. If your device is already rooted, we inform you that it no longer counts with warranty or device support.
Also, Huawei USA does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader under any circumstance. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the device or in other words, renders the device completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader will affect your device."
I'm emailed Huawei USA just cause I'm American (living in Sweden though), but this response suggests that maybe if I email Huawei Sweden or China that they will give me one? Gonna give it a try and see what happens.
Also my original post may have been a bit reflexive, I need to give this phone a chance. I remember thinking my last phone (Galaxy S5) was pretty stupid for a few weeks, I eventually just got over it.

Yes the camera is good quality from what I can tell and the battery life is great. But it is a huge phone, if you don't want something so big then you should probably get the 8X instead of the 8X Max.

This is my very own guide on how to download Play Store on Honor 8X: https://www.oscrunch.com/2018/11/17/google-play-store-on-honor-8x-and-8x-max/
I guess you will have to use a different version of GMS installer. Also, this process requires you to install one more application.
Try this and let me know how it goes. It should work perfectly fine.

Yes, you nailed It!
Speaking for myself, I can say that Today I'm a happy owner of a Chinese Honor 8X, but in the past I was in trouble because I was not able to find the *right* version of GSM installer that fits to me (JSN-AL00a).
It was hard to clear all those Chinese apps from my device, but now I have a very strong phone with a high level of performance.

I had issue on installing Google play. Package installer block me from installing gmsinstaller.apk. what you do to get around it is thru adb. Make sure that you turn off "monitor app install by adb" in developer option or it won't work. If you need more detail let me know.

Try this
1.Tap 7-8 times on build number it will enable developers option
2.Go to developers options
3.Enable USB debugging
4.Disable Monitor apps installed by ADB

I also have a OnePlus 7 pro 256gb.
I have kept the Find X because second hand prices are to low to sell.
So I'll keep it as a back up in the hope that someone makes a rom and unlocks everything on the phone.

Wishful thinking mate.
When I heard of this phone I was super excited then I got it and I was super disappointed within days.
Is a good phone if you are trying to reduce phone usage.
Guys. I am planning to buy a gaming phone and 2 choices - Redmagic 5G and Black shark 3 pro. I am slightly more attracted to BS3 because of larger screen, and physical triggers but slightly concerned about few features, or lack of it. Could you please help me with few queries?
1) NFC - If I convert to global rom, would NFC work? BS3 global version (official), will come later this week but is super expensive in my country (S$1050 for RM5g vs. S$1500 for official global BS3 pro / S$1300 for china rom BS3 pro
2) What are the chances of root and custom roms (unpaid) coming on XDA? I definitely would want a global rom on my phone with root access.
3) Current owners, do you find the phone durable? I am hearing some complaints about the RM5g already (screen burn, dirt accumulating in the internal phone fan etc.)
Thank you so much for your help!

1) NFC - If I convert to global rom, would NFC work? BS3 global version (official), will come later this week but is super expensive in my country (S$1050 for RM5g vs. S$1500 for official global BS3 pro / S$1300 for china rom BS3 pro
2) What are the chances of root and custom roms (unpaid) coming on XDA? I definitely would want a global rom on my phone with root access.
3) Current owners, do you find the phone durable? I am hearing some complaints about the RM5g already (screen burn, dirt accumulating in the internal phone fan etc.)
Thank you so much for your help!

1. No NFC even if you change to global rom or buy global version
2. very low to 0 without paying
3. Dont buy red magic, I had very very very bad time with the red magic 3, I returned it to them and refunded
Where did you read that black shark 3 pro will be globally released by the end of this week?

The shopkeeper I deal with has pre ordered some sets, which he will get by this week. Probably EU edition, supports all bands and Google installed out of the box.
May i know what issues you had with RM3? I am slightly bent towards BS3 but almost 40% higher cost (for global) and lack of custom dev support makes me nervous.

both red magic and BS dont really have custom dec support
my RM3 review: https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/help/problems-global-variant-red-magic-3-t3936980
do you know where did the shopkeeper order from? BS3 Pro doesnt seem to be avilable globally, not even on official site until like the end of the month

Probably from here. He might get it shipped internationally through local contact.

I bought mine from Tradingshenzhen, because i wanted the black color in 512GB. It comes tomorrow. :victory:
Hopefully we can flash it to global some day. They really f*cked up the global release.
- First they say on May 8
- Then end of May.
- Then release the global model on June 4 exclusively on Shopee Malaysia
- Now they say late June for Europe and other countries.

are you planning on staying on china rom with notification problems and bloatware? or pay to unlock the phone and switch to non-updatable global rom?

Haha yes, i write this with my Mate 20 X
Well i see that tomorrow, how the CN rom is and bloatware. Most bloatware i always remove this way: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access. So when you flash the global rom you don't get updates anymore?

yep, because on BS3Pro you must unlock the bootloader and flash twrp and then flash the global rom from there, I was told you get Otas by IMEI (its IMEI locked) and also the global rom that you will flash isnt the first global rom released (official global rom is 20.2.28) and you will flash 20.2.24 so you gonna experience some bugs from that leaked version

Sure, will do that after work. Why do you need that?
MoreLocale trick worked and got the apps in my language now. Most bloadware you can unistall by phone. I only used the bloadware trick to remove the standard browser.
There is still something that blocks notifications. I thought it was the security app (that was the fix for Chinese Huawei/Honor phones), but when removed the problem was still there.

Were you able to change the language of the AppStore with this trick? Also out of curiousity, what app did they use to install google services on your phone?
I got mine from Wondamobile and they used this app that is in chinese (apk name is com.goplaycn.googleinstall) with no language options (that I can find), was wondering if anyone knows whether I ever have to update this app or do I never touch it ?
