Weird.! What's ur device model.??

You need to enable developer option on your device. From system go to "about phone". Click build number a few times (5 times I think). the developer option should appear in system option. (weird - you already pointed out the developer mode but it's not there). Try search through setting though.
But I never bought 1 from China, it might not what as I pointed out - because of different market? Idk.

anyone try the paid app funkyhuawei for rebrand COL-A10 to L29?

what if i flash the latest european version in china phone. COL-AL10. both the devices have same hardware. at the max edit buid.prop ???

I have the same problem
I bought a model COL-AL10, with 6gb of RAM and 128 of Internal Storage, the seller said it had International ROM, and factory unlocked, but he lied, its neither, or maybe because of the ROM the Network doesnt works, i dont know really, i just want to know if its possible to fix this? and if so, how can i do it? for start, does this version (6gb of RAM and 128 of internal storage) exists?

well all ROMs are international with more languages, Honor doesn't have Chinese and Global ROM, they have specific ROMs for each market but they are pretty much equal and it is SIM unlocked, so they haven't lied really, of course you have to do bootloader unlock by yourself
as for bands, check phone compatibility with your network, you should really had check this before buying and not now

Hello everybody! I'm a new here, and I'm not expert. I also bought Honor 10 col-al10 Chinise Version. I know in settings i can choose English, but i don't like chineese apps. I would change complete ROM. I tryed use Firmware Finder but find only CN version.
Please help me.

You can remove/disable all chinese apps(just the yellow pages you cant).
So its not a big deal, its almoast the same, just 98% english and some chinese text in some things.

In theory you will have to flash european vendor. This will switch your firmware but... I can not promise if it will work. Or maybe to say it bettet it wont transform your device in a beautiful brick

i‘m afraid that there’ll be a few custom rom for A199,for the k3v2 cpu,it is special,which needs to confirm the boot.imgfile all the time,unless Huawei would unlock this structure.the models like A199,such as Huawei P6,U9508,Mate,etc all have this sort of question
on Anzhi page ,chinese developers only ported miui for them due to miui uses the same boot file.

I found some posts on the ROM from Chinese Flashing Forum web: shuajizhijia.com/huawei/a199/
Anybody know whether flashing my A199 with one of those ROM will allow the use of other provider's CDMA SIM card?
Thanks.
Ok.. so now I managed to flash my phone with one of the ROM downloaded from Shuajizhi, but my A199 still doesn't read my CDMA card...
Do I need to root my phone first? How can I install gApps on my phone?

Hi,
How you got your phone unlocked? Can you explain please? I also have A199 with cdma part locked
Hi guys,
I've buy one A199 when I was in China for work 4 months ago , now I'm returned in Europe but my phone company use only 3g and this phone actually use only 2g line.
Now my question are , There is european firmware for this phone?
It's possible to unlock 3g line and /or there are custom roms for european use?
And the last question is , It's possible to add android market? because actually if I download the app, it isn't possible to open
Thanks in advance for your response

If you mean to use 3g in GSM card slot - no, you cannot, it is only for GSM 900/1800 Mhz, but not for HSDPA 2100 Mhz. CDMA card slot you can use only for cdma 800 Mhz also. As to Google account and market - sure you can. You need to root your phone first with a help of EROOT program . Then use gapps-jb-20121011-signed . I suggest to do this all on clean last firmware version CV100R001C92B130 .

Buying Honor 10 from China

I am looking to buying a Honor 10 from a ebay seller in China - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323461516674?ViewItem=&item=323461516674
I believe it will work in the UK as it supports the B20 band. Anyone confirm?
Also is this the China or Global version? If Global, I presume there is no difference if I buy this and from a UK shop?
Thank you
Just got a reply from the seller who said its the Chinese AL version.
Is it possible to flash European firmware?
Nope it wont be possible cause u did not ask for bootloader unlock code and now u cant get bootloader unlock code anymore.
I m using this device in germany and I have 4G without problem. Also system language german, english, french are available.

Ok thanks.
So what is the difference between the Chinese and European firmware?
Firmware are different:
On Chinese you have Hiboard, Europe has Google News when swiping right from home screen...
Actually u will get updates faster with chinese version...i dont see other differences.
I m using this phone with Lawnchair Launcher oder Blinkfeed Launcher so for me is no problem. Also i got 6Gb Ram version and Europe Version has only 4Gb Ram.

I am slightly confused as the one I am buying is a 128GB 4GB model. I thought this is a European version?
I thought all Chinese versions are 6GB. Can you actually get a 128GB 4GB China model?

Korean s9Plus

Hi Guys Im using a SM-G965N in the UK, when I try to register for the Pie Beta it give me the message "Your sim card doenst match the service provider software on your phone. This is common if you've changed service providers or if your phone and SIM card are from different country's" Im using the 3 network in the UK and the phone is LGu... Anyone have any work around..?
Anyone? I have exactly same problem. I got sm-g965n with LG Uplus carrier living in other country. Can i just flask stock firmware in my region to get rid of all the bloats and also is there a way for me to participate in pie beta? I can also swap this one with carrier unlocked SD845 version. Can i flash US stock on that one also?
Hi guys, I'm running into a similar issue with G965F device in Canada.
Here's what I've been able to piece together. Each device is a hardware variant and can use a specific set of firmware variants (sometimes called Multi-CSC). Your hardware variant is G965N. And if you look at sammobile for hardware variant, you can see the set of firmware available for this specific device. Unfortunately for you, there is ONLY Korean firmware for this hardware variant. For me, I have many more options but still no Canada!
It it completely inadvisable to flash the firmware onto your device that is not specifically tailored to your hardware. It's especially stupid when the firmware is tailored for an entirely different chipset (for example, Exynos firmware for Snapdragon hardware). But even if the devices use the same chipset, there may exist other hardware differences that will cause instability/errors/ bricks/unknown.
So as far as I can tell, we're all screwed. Have a nice day
Great news. I got into Pie Beta with my g965n. I was about to change my phone when i found LG Uplus sim card in my country. I put the sim card in and was able to register and download OTA. Now i am on android pie.

I found it almost by luck. I was at this phone store when i randomly asked from a lady selling smart phones whether she had Lg Uplus sim card or not and she said yeah i got few. You can have one. That is how i found one. I wouldn't be able to ship it outside country without reliable shipping service in my country.

Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G Bootloader Unlock help

Hi Everyone,
I've recently bought a Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G dual SIM from China and I would like to unlock the bootloader to flash an oversea version firmware (with GMS framework). I have enabled the Developer option and OEM Unlocking function and I am having difficulty to get into Fastboot mode. With the phone powered off, I press the volume down button + power button and it only boots into recovery mode. Can someone please point me to the right direction? I also need some help of finding the right firmware for this model and flashing tool. I found this firmware Oppo_Reno 3_Pro_5G_PCRM00_11_A.02_191215.ofp online and not sure if that would be the right one.
Thanks,
Joe

to enter fastboot mode you have to push volume button up and power, not volume down on this phone or you enter in adb shell on your PC the command "adb reboot fastboot"
BUT: I think, there are a lot of hints still not known by us users to unlock this oppo phone. We might like on Xiaomi phones need an oppo Account to unlock.
I myself didn't try to unlock yet. Does only make sense when a working TWRP is out
There was a note in the OPPO RENO forum about getting and running a file from OPPO, after 60 days.
For me the Chinese version is not good anymore, now I can't install any new app on this phone because it says that I have to log in to a heytap account. But if I want to log in, I have to give my Chinese phone number.. I don't have Chinese phone number of course. Any solutions to this problem?
Now the find x2 neo (cph2009eu) released as the global version, and I want to install it's software because it's 100% the same hardware if I know it well. But I can't. I have the firmware for it from the internet, but in a .ofp file, I can't flash it
Okay, now I found a method to install apps without signing in with a chinese number, so the global software is not urgent anymore, but it would be good anyway.
I tried to install the global software via qfil, but it gives sahara error. After a quick search I found that we have to unlock the phone's bootloader to flash the global rom.
But the chinese version that I have does not have fastboot mode, so maybe we have to wait until Oppo will unlock the phone's bootloader officially (probably we have to wait until the next Android/ColorOS beta)
I have bought this EU Version, but funny thing here: they disabled 5G. Mine has 765G, 12GB RAM, dual SIM but neither specified nor selectable 5G
Hi all,
I also own the Chinese version of this phone (PCRM00)
Looking to unlock the bootloader, install EU version of the ROM and also root..
Any help?
Thanks!
Hi,
the Oppo registration ist now available with a none-chinese mobile number. Seems they splittet the HeyTap and Oppo services so you can use an least the Oppo services.
Here is the software update of the global version
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Neo
It gives an error, so suddenly we cant install it simply from the original recovery
My variant is just the 128/8gb version, and maybe this also could be a problem, becouse the global phone has only 256/12 variant. So maybe with a 256/12 varint its woth a try

I have 12/256 EU Version (seems to sell in Poland), dual-SIM, 4G only (although SD765G).
Current Firmware reads CHP2009_11_A.08, March security update.
Is this a valid update or will it possibly bring 5G?

If you have the single-camerahole, 765G version, and the phone is CHP2009, this update maybe woth a try. The problem could be that Oppo dont allow to change the firmware in the official recovery, only update is possible, so if I try to install the global (CHP2009EU) on my PCRM00 (chinese) variant, it fails and dont install anything. And we dont have custom recoverys yet, and the chinese version dont even have fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader, so it seems impossible for me to install the global until Oppo dont unlock our phones bootloaders officially (for example for a beta upadate)
But if you already have CHP2009 software, maybe the update that I linked worth a try. If the recovery allows it..
If I know it well, the CHP2009EU (Oppo find X2 neo) have 5g modem, just like the chinese variant that I have (Theyre the same phone, but the software is different. I want the global software instead of the chinese becouse of Netflix HDR and Google assistant)
It is the single camera hole but 5G disabled- See Spec
I'd show you, but I cannot share screenshots here.
Would it reject update if it was not functional version or would I brick the device, if I flashed incorrect version?
The difference I see ist that X2 neo has single SIM and Reno3 pro has dual. I know from other brands, that this can brick the phone.

There's always a theoretical chance to brick your device when you modify the software, it's your responsibility. But I think there's more chance that the original recovery that we have won't allow you to update your software to the X2 neo's software. If you want 5g, you can try the Chinese variant's software, but I think the recovery won't allow the other softwares to install

I have it now for three weeks, no need for 5G, so better have a working than bricked phone currently.
Probably I'd play around in one year, when tools are more stable.
In fact I considered to search for an update on Polish Oppo site and found an update file for my Reno3 Pro, that was exactly the same as from your link and X2 neo.
So I did the update via Recovery, it ran through and landed with version .28.
It did not change anything on supported bands.
I remember from Sony phones, that bands are defined in NVRAM.
It seems that for all Reno3/X2 variants with 765G the firmware is the same, it is distinguished only by supported bands.

I also tried it, dont work :/
I don't know if it's really helpful but i think I've read somewhere on the official website that 5g isn't unlocked yet and would be thru future updates.
I live in the Netherlands and my Reno pro 5g should arrive today.
I'm kind of lost by all the different variants though..
The find x neo is also for sale over here and it seems the same service expert a minor different front cam.
But here in the Netherlands they are both for sale but the neo is much more expensive.
Anyway, I'm excited as this will be my first Oppo.

I might have misread the comments, but why in here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-realme-gt-gt-neo-easily-tested-on-chinese-variant.4290569/, they say only tested in CN version? I don't want to risk buying a phone only to find out it is non-rootable, or testing something not officially being mentioned in https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1248075024070344704 that might hard brick my device. Also, I read that keeping the bootloader unlocked will disallow fingerprint scanning from working, as I was intended to keep my bootloader unlocked forever, because I don't to contact Realme servers everytime I want to confirm my submission in the Deep Testing app (I don't want to rely on having Realme support my device in their servers, as one day they might pull the plug out, and I can no longer get Realme to verify my device using this app).
I contacted the Realme EU support and they said that Realme has no plans on providing unlock codes for EU models. They apparently only offered this for a few models on Indian market, so I'm not sure if it applies internationally, although imo, it sounds like it. What a shame.

What a shame. Such a good cheap phone is out of my options now . I guess I have to bite it and buy OnePlus 9 now (OnePlus no longer a flagship killer ).

I think the same thing happens with the Realme 7 pro. You had to change the dialer to change to India. So if I could unlock it .. It would be nice if it could be done with the European realme gt

So, can you change the dialer with the EU version and the deep test app would work too?

I think that if the method that was used in the realme 7 pro could be applied. I have tried it but have not been successful. You would have to know the engineer codes to change region. I guess they must be different on each terminal.
Here you have the manual that I use in the relame 7 pro.

If someone could find how to change the region in the realme GT from engineer mode, I think it would be the solution to be able to unlock.
Here are some codes that I found in case they could be usable

On the realme 7 pro it works. It would be a matter of being able to test it in our realme. I can not find any engineer code that allows us

I have not found any solution. They also told me in the telegram group that for our European version there will be no possibility of unlocking. I will sell it

Buy a Oneplus 9R. It goes perfect with the qualcomm 870. I already have it unlocked and it has the recovery options that I want in case of disaster. It is a very good smart

I wondered if it was a problem with the Google dialer not accepting the codes. Did you try a different dialer esp the realme or oppo dialer?
People also say the fact that it's coming to India should be good news for bootloader unlocking.

Any tutorials out there or here that instructs on unlocking the bootloader for this phone? Again, I am looking for the international version's tut, not the CN version.

Have you tried using a VPN to route traffic through India, and unlocking the phone?
Can someone send me a build.prop file from the system partition?

I don't have the phone yet lol. I'm not gonna risk buying a phone, only to find out it's hopeless to root it.
Not tested:

Has anybody been able to unlock the bootloader on the global variant? I have to pick between the Realme GT and the Poco F3 and would prefer the first because of the headphone jack, but if it's not possible to unlock the bootloader the phone would be almost useless to me.
What about previous Realme phones, is it possible to unlock the bootloader for all of them or are there some models where this is not possible? If the company has a good track record then we could assume that some day it will be possible to unlock the bootloader of the GT too.
I keep reading about some deep testing app or in-depth test app needed to unlock the bootloader, does anybody know where it comes from and who the developer is? All I could find was downloads on random websites and the whole thing seems sketchy.
Not buying this phone given the sad state of unlocking and sources.
I'm just here to check how this phone is doing in development and seems like it's doing terrible.
