Flash Chinese Rom on Honor 7EU

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.
I hope soon someone finds a safe way to run and revert back this kind of test.

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!

Actually I did it already , and now I'm using Marshmallow Europe B313 BETA.

hello,
could anyone advise me on how to flash Chinese custom rom coz currently my unit is also chinese PLK-AL10C92B190....

its possible with Honor multi-tool. Debrand your phone. But 64 to 32 and 32 to 64 not tested. I have PLK-L01 and I debrand it to PLK-TL01H. I recieved OTA and installing it well.

China rom + Europe rom

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 ^^
It's just based on my searches

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.

FunkyHuawei: Mate 9 Pro/Porsche support added!

Please see the original FunkyHuawei thread for information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/introducing-funkyhuawei-flash-official-t3515875
If you have a Mate 9 Pro/Porsche, you can now use FunkyHuawei to recover firmware in eRecovery. Initially, we support the Chinese edition (LON-AL00), the Middle East/North Africa edition (LON-L29C185) and the Worldwide Porsche (LON-L29C721).
Support for other variants will be added as it becomes possible to do so. (If anyone has a device they can donate to me for testing, it will help! PM me.)
Please keep discussion of Mate 9 Pro/Porsche usage of FunkyHuawei in this thread.
Make sure you only flash firmware compatible with your device! LON is Mate 9 Pro/Porsche. MHA is for the regular Mate 9.

Update: Added LON-AL00C00B155

Hi,
Currently i use LON-AL00, which is the Chinese variant. I would like to install an international rom or an english centric rom, which I would assume is the Middle east and porsche rom. So, my question is, would i be able to use your software to switch from LON-AL00 to Middle east or Porsche rom?
Thank you

I don't have a mate 9 pro so.i can't be sure. If you would like to be a tester I can probably get it working but you will most likely have the caveat of missing a few features like themes updates exchange sync and other things that go missing when the non matching regions firmware is installed.
If you are able to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP we can likely do better though.

I see. So, i'll be correct when i assume that cross switching of rom will cause some functions to not work such as themes, sync, and updates. In this case, i feel, its always better to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, that way i can have a fully functioning phone. Actually, the only nuisance i have at the moment is with the Mandarin characters used in HiVoice app, Magazine unlock screen, and the launcher. So my next question is, is it possible for you to pull those apps from a different region's firmware that you provide, then have them replaced onto my current phone? This should remove the need for me to cross switch and/or unlock the bootloader.
If the above mentioned is not possible, Could you kindly provide me a link on how to unlock Huawei bootloader? I'm a samsung user, so this is my first experience with Huawei, so at the moment i am very clueless.

There actually is no HiVoice assistant except in Chinese in the Chinese firmware. The English version only lets you make a call.
Regardless these are system apps and part of the firmware so it's not possible to cross install from a different version. Unlocking the bootloader and using TWRP is your best bet. For a Chinese phone please look at the getting a bootloader unlock code for the details but you'll need to stay logged in to hicloud for 2 weeks and then get in touch with Huawei support, in Chinese language

Hi all,
I have Mate 9 Pro 64 GB (LON-AL00), and runing on Chinese firmware. i want change to Middle East or any worldwide/international ROM. which one i should select from drop down from www.funkyhuawei.com? advise me please.

thanks for your work! i may wouldn't need it, but great job

Thanks to a lot of persistence from @Oweida who wanted to rebrand regardless of risk, I now have a preliminary solution to rebrand the Mate 9 Pro. We can rebrand any Mate 9 Pro to any version, but I recommend the LON-L29C636 version, which has the most firmware availability right now.
If you have a bricked Mate 9 Pro, or a Mate 9 Pro with an unlocked bootloader which you want to rebrand, please get in touch. You will need some kind of USB storage you can plug in with an mhl adapter, and knowledge of how to do things like set your DNS, and how to flash things in TWRP, etc. Right now, I am helping people rebrand to C636 spcseas version, which I can support the best in FunkyHuawei so far, but the next step will be rebranding to Porsche.
I know there were a few people in this thread with bricked Mate 9 Pro that they couldn't recover. Please get in touch with me if you want to attempt recovery/rebranding. Send me a PM, and let me know your user name on FunkyHuawei so I can set things up for you.
I might also mention that we can now rebrand the Mate 9 to any region we want, including USA, Japan, India, and even rebrand a Mate 9 to Mate 9 Pro (I have no idea why you'd want to, though.). The only problem is, there is no firmware available for most of these regions yet, so it's not something useful, just possible, at this point.

Hello I have LON-L29C636B124 which seems to be the asian international firmware however I am loacated in the middle east now and I don't get updates like others in europe (same model and same build number ) and asia who are now using the B156 firmware
I got a USB OTG but I still cant get any updates even with firmware finder proxy , I hope funkyhuawei can get my issue resolved

No Updates at all

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?

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?

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)

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...^^

Upgrading chinese Axon7 to Android Nougat OS

Hello! I live in the UK but I got an Axon 7 from a chinese reseller, I thought it was a good idea, I was especially looking forward to try daydream. However, I think I need Nougat for that (and some other things), which seems not to be available by normal updates. The current version says "ZTE_A2017V2.1.1B07", MiFavor 4.0.
From reddit, somebody pointed me to the chinese update from the axon7 website, which I am planning to install now. However, I was wondering whether there was any way to change my phone into something like a 2017G edition so that I could then install a non-chinese stock android version. Does what I have just written make any sense or I am not grasping something?
If you could even just link to the right thread or anything, I will it myself and make sure to understand it.
Thanks!

It does make sense, and it's a common thing to do. But a few words first:
OTA will definitely not work
You need to unlock the bootloader to do this, since you need TWRP to flash stuff
You should install A2017U firmware, or at least try both. A2017G's firmware is not very good... i have a G myself.
You have to keep the A2017 modem and install the system without changing it. I'm 99% sure that the only way to do this is using flashable system zips like the ones tron1 made.
And last, but not least... I might sound rude, but why don't you look over Guides, News and Discussions before asking? This way you get your answer instantly... I'm sure I've seen a guide on how to do this.

Hello, I have a Chinese zte axon 7 too. you need up update your b013. get the zip file place on an SD card in the root directory. from this the Android N updates will roll it.
welcome to the UK Chinese axon 7 club. let me know if you need anything else. I've had mine now for 6 months and it's a great phone.

he's asking to transform it to a2017G or U though

why bother with that. it's a Chinese version stick with that. It works fine and receives updates before everyone else
