Buying Honor 10 from China - Honor 10 Questions & Answers

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.

Thanks.
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?

Mate10 pro after rebrand from BLA-L29 to BLA-AL00 didn't support China telecom

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.

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.

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

convert SC-J02 Docomo to G950W

Hi, would it be possible to convert a Galaxy S8 Japanese version (SC-02J) to a Canadian version G950W or a US unlock G950U1?
I know the question sounds crazy but the Japanese model has the Snapdragon chipset and the same other specs as the other Snapdragon versions... The reason I want to do this is to have french language on this freakin device I've been trying with Combination Firmware but Odin keeps blocking my attemps...
Any idea?

Do you want to unlock your SC-02J? You can try samkey to do it. Good luck!

Hi bro, no it's already sim unlock. I'm desperately searching a way to add french language in this phone ?
Thanks ?

International x global version

Sorry If i'm being dumb but i am considering getting a Mi A3 this week and i want to know If I can find out If its global or international right at the store?
I saw some have an extra simbol on its back like an C.E. what does It mean?
What is the diferences between booth versions? I Heard some dont run apps like Netflix and dont get OTA ... is that right?
Thanks
Global and international are the same thing.
The 2 versions are EU and Global.
The differences is the EU version respects European legislation when it comes to data protection and the like.
There is no difference. They are exactly the same. You can flash EU onto global and vice versa.
Global version receives updates slightly quicker than EU version also

Not quite, since Indian variant uses Global firmware
