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, i'm on STF-AL00 rebranded to STF-L09C432.
If you want we can compare.
Can you ota update your C00 or you need a chinese simcard or chinese wifi to do so?

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.

Paid, a bit easier: https://funkyhuawei.club/rebranding
None of these are particularly easy. What reason specifically do you have to rebrand? Note that the Chinese version gets the most updates. The main issue with the Chinese version for me is that some Google functionality (e.g. location history) is not working out-of-the-box.

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?

Is the china version has NFC and infrared ?
Orignially version is BLA-L29 i rebrand to Chinese version BLA-AL00, after that can not use China telecom make call.
other feature no problem also can upgrade. only not support China telecom.
I have no idea, but as far as I know the hardware specification is different, at least the LTE bands. I have no idea about the CDMA part. However, I think it may be a bad idea to rebrand the device to another variant.
Maybe you should try to rebrand to TL version of software, as I know there is two version in china AL-00 and TL-00, TL is for use on Telecom. Maybe this solves your problem.
me too , have you solve this problem?

I believe this to be the case too.
When I asked a Chinese vendor prior to purchasing my 'phone what the differences were between AL00 and TL00, his answer was "AL00 = China Unicom, TL00 = China Mobile & China Telecom."

Does BLA-L29 with original system support China telecom, all 2G/3G/LTE?
The BLA-L29 rebranding to China version OS doesn't support China telecom for sure.

Update of L29 is very lagging
Don't like Android messaging app, Huawei messaging app don't work on L29
Intelligent object recognition (and many other things) is not fully functional on L29
No Chinese voice assistant on L29
Etc

Did you already do it? I have global, can I change to Taiwán? Does it have Google services? Can you lock Bootloader with Taiwán firmware?

I have global but I've changed to China stable. It's very smooth and you get updates faster (got 12.5.3 OTA today). It even has basic google services and play store preinstalled. The ROM just needs to be cleaned up a bit now I hardly notice any difference except I have more features.
And yes you can use Taiwan I've tried that one too. Would not recommend locking bootloader on it even though it might be possible since it's stock firmware. I would only try that with the software the phone came with so the software matches the model number.

Please please please, would you be willing to lock the bootloader on TW rom? It should work if you have the global device.... But no one confirmed it in practice.
