Now I using China rom b370, overall performance is good.
Camera have more options such as time lapse, object recognition, and online translation.
Phone manager have permission manager and virus scanner
Fingerprint is faster
Ability to download video from any app such as Tumblr
And lots more.
Disadvantages,
no ability to lock signal, sometime crashes, charging slow ( some say new update fix it)
How to install?
Simply download any China marshmallows rom, extract the ' system' and 'boot' file using 'huawei update extractor'
Flash it using Fastboot
First boot take longer time.
After that Install the downloaded rom using normal update method ( folder dload)
Rom can be obtain from 4pda forum ( Russian)
.......................................................................................
MY question is it possible to get China rom features into Europe rom?? ? ?
What model do you have?
Didn't you debrand your phone to a China model? If so, to which model?
I installed B380 yesterday but protected apps function doesn't work. I enabled it for Whatsapp but when I clear the background apps, Whatsapp going also. To get notifications, I had to open Whatsapp again and you should never close it. Then I went back to new B220 rom, same thing happened again. After that debranded to PLK-L01 again and I am using B180 right now, everything works fine. Unstable Marshmallow is killing me. I will not update until a stable firmware come up.
I have a B371 update notification right now but it's not useful too.
But except this issue, Chinese firmwares are really good and clean. Even there are no Google Apps. I installed manually GAPPS Pico version.

First, I debranded to PLK-TL01H from PLK-L01. And I installed B380 Full OTA directly via dload way.
Debranding is not necessary always but it's better when the phone version is fully compatible with firmware.
And you cannot get any update if you do not do debrand thing.

Hi again,
The cust is specific for each region ( at least i think it's this )
You have the C432BXXX ( C432 means Europe, so you'll have the update for european device )
That's why i think you can install a different Rom, but whitout the ota's
And finaly, debrand the phone put the cust of your choice and allow you to receive the ota's
I wish you good luck

For your main question, i don't think so, what i know is, on MM you can add some lignes in the build.prop to add functionality ,but i'm afraid that all of you want is in the update,maybe there is a way, but i'm just a phone user ^^

Hi,
Well, i've never used the Multitool to debrand, but After installation of your Rom, have you made a hardreset ? ( Before trying debrand )
And have you got a custom recovery ? ( to receive ota, recovery stock is required )

You can't get OTA update quickly. This may take a while. And you don't have to wait, just download B380 and install it.

Hi to all,
Ive been reading a lot this forum, and i find the chinese version more complete, so my question is simple.
¿is it possible to flash a chinese rom? I like chinese features, and i read it gets more updates.
My only worries are warranty and to lose european radio bands.
Any help?
Give it a try and let us know how you get on....;0)
Thanks for your message sheridan2000,
I'm a newie, until now I only had a nexus 4, wich have a huge community, I don't know how to do if for this new phone I just received, and I'm worried about the warranty, about brick if and if is possible get back to EU flash rom.
My abilities are limited, and with my lack of knowledge I feel is too risky.
If some one with experience can bring some information would be great.
Regards,
Just kidding fella, think at this early stage in developement best not to flash any roms not intended for the EU version as may mess up your phone. When we get a fully working ROOT and TWRP then there will be some safety in doing so....

Agree with him! When we get a stable and well working custom recovery, I think people will mod the Honor 7 more.
Any why do you want the chinese version? I tried a chinese MIUI rom on my Honor 6, and the all the chinese stuff drove me crazy so I had to roll back to a normal EU rom...

Hi!
I feel like chinese rom is more "updated" I think european version is more "conservative" as they might try to secure the user experience. Chinese rom gets much more updates, Ive read something about huawei idchanger; Chinese rom also have more options like recording call, navigation shortcuts, youtube bloat window and download...
In nexus we could chose wich part of the rom we would like to flash, is that posible in this huawei? What I have thought is what about flash the Chinese rom, without flash the radio baseband in order to keep the compatibility with european LTE bands. Any idea??

I did this on my european honor 6 plus. DO NOT DO IT.
No way to get back to european firmware. But was probably because officallollipop was not out yet. More hassle than it was worth. Voided warrenty also. DO NOT ATTEMPT
Thank you for your usefull feedback.

One question: you had the complete nandroid backup and you couldn't flashed it after experimenting with the Chinese ROM over EU? How far did you get then or where did you stuck when trying to reverse?
I never had EU Honor 7, but my personal opinion is that before playing with different roms, you should be perfectly aware what are you doing and what do you want to achieve. Changing hardware is out of the question and probably is the same with drivers. At least to the point when a real custom rom appears. As I mentioned there are some modifications of Chinese roms already available as a flashable zip, which don't alternate baseband or kernel in general, but they are customized to particular roms. Flashing any of them on EU rom could be safe only if you can get back in the case anything goes wrong. Otherwise, if you just need a particular system application, you can always try to push it to the system with appropriate file manager and stay safe as long as you have the nandroid backup.
Nandroid backup did not work through twrp.
Chinese rom was fine but was a developer edition.
Phone can not go back to kitkat from chinese lollipop.
Tried offical downgrade package. Did not work.
Tried back up many times. Did not work.
Chinese emui site takes hours to load and most of the time fails through multiple browsers.
Dont waste your life.
I was still in my 14 day return so exhange by my network to honor 7
Never messing with a huawei phone again where there is little to no support
i had tried chinese rom PLK-U00 which is DUAL 4G as per claim by Honor China, what i do is i extract out the boot&recovery&system&cache&userdata img from the update.app (using huawei tools) then flash it under fastboot, it will boot & load to "Android is upgrading" but after the progress finish it restart itself and repeat the "android is upgrading" progress
I've tried the same with 5.1.1 ply-tl01h rom. I get the bootloop with boot and system flashed and almost get to the home screen using the boot from the 121 firmware
Hi,
I hope you could find a way. I know there are chinese roms available, but hard to find and understand, we might ask them in english then they might help us.
I hope you could fix your phone
Hello Guys,
I bought my Honor 7 yesterday, and this is the model number -- PLK-L01C636B120
I tried to update to B121 or B130 or 140, All of them failed.
As I read my device model is Malaysia not Europe, So Can I flash Europe Stock ROM and flash all the updates?

NO i don’t think so! You should do not do that, because there are some differences between both firmwares. Pre-defaults for the mobil-net (modem drivers) ; LTE specifications; maybe some functions like recording during a call etc.
Edit: @Muhammad Rihawi have tried it and it seems to work. But i dont’t recommand it anyway!

Hello, i just receive my new phone with CN firmware ZTE_A2017V2.1.1B07. It come with international languages and google play installed so no OTA update available. Now, i don't want to take too many risk so i just want to be able to use my phone with nougat 7.1 and my question is can i directly install from recovery mode the B13 7.1 version or did i need 1st to install the full B09 and after OTA for B13, then reinstallation of googplay ? If i'm right every time i install a new full firmware i will have to reinstal googleplay ?

To install google play and make the phone works for your country, the seller must had messing around with your phone.
So before make any risk, you should unlock bootloader, then you can flash recovery and install A2017U or A2017G (depend on where you live). It have google service pre-install, english without chinese craps.
That could be my next step but i'm not really confident doing this right now (newbee). My concern is will my 2/3/4G work well with a A2017G on a CN phone, no modem or band problem ? Of coure that would be more simple because after i will be able to do all updates with OTA. Anybody can confirm that going from A2017 to A2017G work 100% ? Is there a guide A2017 (CN) to A2017G ? I see a lot of good informations here on xda but i don't want to brick my new phone . So if someone can provide me a step by step or a link with the full procedure that will help me a lot.

I myself run A2016U on chinese model. Work fabulous (wifi, cellurar, mobile network) - as long as you flash right modem.
My phone is already unlock bootloader when seller gives it to me, and I do plenty things (even run into EDL only, but not dead still, chinese model rule!!).
Yes the key point is the modem ... I'm too newbee to make the sorcer apprentice ... I really need some help to do that right.

Okay I also ordered the same phone (A2017 China version) from AliExpress and the seller installed Google play and international language support. My phone came with B07 (same as yours).
Now read this really carefully, your phone is not stock, to install Google play and language support the seller messes around with the phone at the system level, so the phone will not receive OTA updates and will not flash OTA update files, the Chinese recovery is also useless. Any attempt to forcefully update the device will soft brick your phone.
You can keep running the B07 ROM but of you want to update you will have to unlock bootloader, root and install TWRP on your phone.
I have created a rar file with all the files you need to root and unlock bootlader:

Follow the instructions here:
Follow the instructions here.

Remember to run the backup program "axon7backup.exe" to backup your recovery and boot before rooting.
Also update twrp using fastboot once you have unlocked the bootloader.
After installing the latest twrp you can update to the latest nougat chinese build using this:

Thanks Vurio, doing like you said bring me to A2017 B13 Nougat 7.1 in chinese version right ? Is that preferable and more easier to do this than trying to go on A2017G ? I'm in Switzerland and the phone work great 2G/4G so i don't really need to be on G version. Just one more newbee question, every time i put a new firmware i will need to reinstall all my apps and of course Googplay ?
If I flash the u or g version on this phone. Are the LTE bands 20 unlocked like one the g version?
I have the Chinese version. All i done when i got it was flashed the full Chinese firmware and installed Google services and apps. I've been getting the ota updates and am now on 7.1.1. Which came ota Sunday. I did not need to root or anything.
I'm in uk.

Everytime you flash a new ROM, you need to wipe data, so yes you need to reinstall Google play and all your apps. But if you are rooted you can use titanium backup and that makes restoring apps really easy and quick.
About the firmware, axon 7 has 3 versions, Chinese, European and american. Each one comes with its own set of 4g bands and that cannot be changed no matter what you flash.
The Chinese and the american versions are most compatible with each other. You can use the American rom on the Chinese version but the changes will be aesthetic only. You will get rid of all the annoying Chinese text and apps and your phone will look and feel more "global". The modem of the phone will still remain Chinese so the bands won't change.
Ok so titanium is a must because we will have some new firmware this year ...
I'm not a newbie on computer thing but Android .... I discover it on my shield tv 2 monthes before ... I'm not scared to try but it's the fact to try and not to be sure 100% that work.
Your solution same to be the one but i see now that some (other) chinese seller propose A2017 CN version with A2017G installed ... How they do that ? Did they also flash the modem ?
I repeat i dont really need A2017G but i want to apply the most optimal option for my situation and when you don't really know what you do, it's not easy ... Also when you just pay some $$ to a brand new phone ...

The modem will not work. The modem will only work for the particular device. The seller on AliExpress never have the best reputation.
I am guessing that they would flash the European ROM but leave the modem Chinese. This is possible but European compatibility is not the best with Chinese version.
The american on the other hand has the best compatibility and even received updates faster. For eg. American version is on 7.1.1 whereas the European version is on 7.0.
And I completely agree with your sentiments on your new phone. One should always be careful and have complete information before messing around with a phone.
Also titanium backup only works on rooted phones. Titanium and adaway are the only reason that the first thing I do when I get a new phone is root it ??

I bought mine from aliexpress. They done the same thing and put a note saying you shouldn't do anything... Or something to that effect. Trust me, your in exactly the same situation. There's a few threads on here from a few months ago. All you need to do is flash the stock firmware. Flag the Google apps and update them and away you go. Check the threads, I'm out so ain't got time to look but i think they were in the general section. Definately easy as pie. I've not had to write my phone since. Have had a couple of ota updates and no problems

Did you flash the official firmware without rooting and installing TWRP?
Yes. I have never rooted the phone or installed any other recovery. Just flashed the firmware by having it on the internal sd card and update software.
Please read through the thread where this is discussed in detail and works easy before you start.
I followed info from that thread and it went fine.

Ok alom5 you got my attention now. I'm really not in hurry f you can give me the thread (when you have some time) tomorow or later. This phone is so great, i will take my time to make the right think. Just to be clear you receive OTA after flashing ? So i need to flash the stock A2017 B07 ( i presume), then reinstall "properly" googplay and after i will receive all news OTA update ? Sound great ... Could be the easiest way for me ... When you flash back to stock and restart can you choice the language or are you only in chinese ?
I'm searching in the forum and if i see right i can directly flash the B13 version for SD ? http://www.zte.com.cn/china/sitecor...rt/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78 I'm downloading right now ... 9 hours remaining ...

Hi all,
I just recently went back to complete stock, from CM, as I want to hand it over to a friend.
I successfully switched back to C432B160 last week.
But still not a single update does show up, though that build is from November 2016.
It always tells me, that there are no updates. I am aware that Updates will show up with Hisuite, but shouldn't the stock updater present updates, too?
(I am not even talking about Nougat)
I already successfully tried a factory reset.
The only idee I have, is that I now have a DS oeminfo on an originally SS phone.
Does anyone have an idee, what might be wrong?

Well the phone was SS at the beginning, but now I have oeminfo for DS and Stock Rom for DS (B160)
I wiped all and completely new flashed B160.
I did not setup any account (Google, Huawei), but only connected the phone to my WIFI.
Still neither Update nor HiCare show any available updates.
Does this need a SIM Card to be in the phone? Are there any other precautions?
I have no idea why it behaves like this.
edit: both frp and bootloader are locked according to the Bootloader Menu
I might add 2 weeks ago when coming from CM, there were no updates in update menu but HiCare, so I went fo Nougat. Nougat did not work properly, so I went back to B160 in order to start again, but since then, I never saw any update in menu, nor HiCare.
Might Huawei block DS Roms for IMEIS of originally SS phones?
Push, maybe @k1ll3r8e has an answer for me?

Heyho,
sounds really wired...
-
Here is what u can try,
1) bring the device back to stock (unrooted, loader closed)
2) do a factory reset and also the cache clear which is offered in the stock recovery
-
Start the device, do a dummy setup (only wlan is needed) check if the device offers an update. If not, well, try to manually update from C432B160 to C432B210 and check the update app again.
About this issue, i'm not sure, but maybe Huawei have a "downlaod limit" for an IMEI, that u can only download the update for example 10 times or so... I don't know^^ - I can only say, my device "L31 - Single-SIM - T-Mobile" modded to C432B380 dual-SIM have no issues with updates... I got since B130 every update via the normal update app. - But i also know that the updates will be released in waves, i don't know how they exclude/include devices in such an wave. But maybe, u have an oeminfo from an device which wasn't in the "current wave list". - As already mentioned i don't know how they manage those waves or what the trigger is...
Hope i could help u a bit
Regards
Sebastian

So, did you try upgrade on N using Firmware finder?
If not, try it and you will see if your device in black list. I also use DS firmware for SS model and just last night I upgraded normaly from B160 to B370 Ota, and after that to B380 Ota.
@k1ll3r8e
Yes it already is a dummy setup. I will manually upgrade to B210 and try again, Thanks alot! @Alexxxx1
Firmware Finder is the Windows tool, isn't it? If above progress won't work I might boot my Windows partition and check on that.
Is there by chance any other way to check if the device is somehow blacklisted?
@all
Would Huawei push the updates to my device, if I would contact them? (I ask because of the altered oeminfo. Or would the refuse support in that case, which is what I guess)
edit: Does by chance anyone have a link to the C432B210 ROM?

Heyho,
if u have an L31, go to my FTP (oeminfo) and go a few folders back, then u'll find a Huawei folder there are several versions stored.
Edit:
Here is the link (just back on my PC)

Sebastian
Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using XDA Labs
Firmware finder is android app. You can find it in google play store as a free tool for upgrade huawei devices. In Ffinder you will find option for checking autorization of official firmware for your device, is it allowed or not for your device.
Regards
I did flash B210, but no Updates withiin 1 day. (I think time was to short)
I then flashed B370 Full-PV via Firmware Finder.
B380 should come automatically sometime, hopefully.
I think its time to hand it over to my friend now.
Only thing I am curious about is:
settings -> about phone -> certification: Serbia
I guess this is normal for C432?

No worries about that
I bought mine also from T-Mobile DE, and mine shows also "Serbia"... I searched a bit for similar issues and it seems that also the P8 with C432 is for "Serbia" at least a unknown amount of it, sooo i think it comes from the "ROM" not from the device. Maybe they only certify the ROM for a "law based standart" to "Serbia". - Who knows...^^

Which Baseband version you have is your device??? (check in about device/phone)
Also tell about how good or bad is your network reception, wifi, gps and volte, Video call via dialler, etc is working.
Don't forget to mention your device model and device name??? (ex- x820, x821, x829, China Model, India Modal, USA Model etc.)
Also mention about which custom rom or eui you are using and which version of rom your using.
Also Mention if your flashed any modem firmware by yourself in your device.
Let's work together to find the best version for your device and your country.
Thanks.
( TIP - You can upload a picture of your about device section in setting but don't forget to hide or blur your private and personal details and device identity.)

You should know how old is latest indian eu, using china update ( you will need disable chinas apps ) is much better, new apps more stable, better translation for country language and beter modem which mean better id reader, signal, wifi.. i can say it beacuse i have x821, but do what you want )

x829, x820 and x821 are same devices, (820 is china, 821 is inda) (they have only different lte, lte is definied in cpu, so rom cant change it, so dont be scared) only what flashing firmware for another country can do is changing name of your model ( it doenst matter for waranty ) or add some bloatware, latest eui 5.9 for china have few china apps ( oyu can disable them i guess ) change splashscreen.

But for flashing that he need custom recovery.
And he is also worried about warranty.
Because of that i am suggesting him to update eui and keep using offical Indian version of eui.

that is true, but you dont need flash twrp, you can only boot it, so after restart you will have your eui recovery as before and bootloader can be relocked, but s you said he should try latest indian eui for his problem,
my opinion will be same, indian eui is ald and suck

I had the same issue while buying this phone. It's a vendor rom. I fixed the same problem using a fastboot china rom. But now I am using a custom rom.
Yesterday I upgraded to 19s and that problem is solved. But one problem isn't solved yet that whenever I keep 4G VoLTE on, Internet speed bar keeps showing speed and Internet also works even when Data is off and that drains battery too.

I guess so as i did tried to reflash stock ROM with Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.0 a few days ago, but it didn´t work. Then i used Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8 but it displayed that i had the latest software so no reflashing at all, i was incapable of reflashing and clearing the \system partition, for me it is a real problem as i was expecting to delete all the traces of SuperSU root, Xposed, etc; with the aim of moving to Magisk and keep passing safetynet. Anyone has any clue so that could help me reflashing latest stock MM ROM?

I was also considering downgrade to LP by performing a restore from my TWRP backup. May be easier and safer, as ELUGA modifies certain branded partitions, I guess... Any inconvenience related to that?
I have never got the mobile upgrade to work, not even this version, and that is a shame because here in Finland we have no OTA since lollipop, and I can not understand how the official MM-rom is nowhere to be found, even if the phone have the option of update from storage. If only I could find the update file, I presumably could update without any rooting or twrp or anything, and keep it factory fresh and under warranty?

I agree with you, that is a bad movement from Alcatel not to give access to ROM zip. It would be so easy to flash it via settings _ apply update from zip, as many devices do. Weeks ago I was desperate to find a stock zip for my 6045Y but no luck. It's a shame to let dye this music lover smartphone.
I have the stock MM rom if anybody wants it.

The roms are from murigny64, he made them. He has a thread here which I checked earlier. If you want the version without root the link is still good, only the rooted version was removed.

Sorry, i didn't explain myself properly. I mean, I have already the latest MM stock ROM dated from january of 2017, my device is a 6045Y. However, a few days ago there has been released an update, but my guess is that only for 6045I devices, so i don't have it and can´t reflash my Idol 3 with the same ROM i currently have.
PS:
I tried to flash via TWRP this zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/6045y-mm-6-0-1-firmware-european-idol3-t3435577 and then use the Mobile Upgrade Q to get the latest MM stock, but Mobile Upgrade Q keeps saying "you have already the latest update" which this statement is not true after flashing this zip. Finally, I restored my TWRP backup so i'm in the same state as i began this morning, i'm tired of this policy of Alcatel that there is no official zip from stock firmwares, the only way is using an online tool thar refuses to reflash the same firmware.
I am from india, using 6045k, lost duel sim support due to flashing of marionette's Rom. Still trying to get duel sim back, tried eluga firmware also, but unfortunately i didn't get any error at 45%. Now i am using flyos 2.0, its working like charm. But only one sim is there, i tried several software upgrader versions, but server is not connecting, its always stuck at 20%.
Its been a year that i am trying to get to stock rom. I have done search in several threads and contacted some senior members but it didn't help,
Pls help me, how can i get back to stock rom and get duel sim Support back??
