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!

Help with Galaxy A7 SM-A7000

Hi everyone, recently purchased a Chinese A7 SM-7000 and regret it, the phone is a good hardware piece, but the software is crappy, lot of Chinese bloatware, no more than three languages, and the best of all is there's no Google Apps, no Google play, so I need some help in maybe flashing another firmware, a (normal) one, or wathever to make this phone international, BTW I've rooted the stock rom under 5.0.2 but guess it won't help.

If the software is infected, I think you can flash another rom from SamMobile... But for your model there are only chinese firmwares... Maybe from there you can root, then check if your phone can use a firmware from another variation, maybe it can be done by skipping the baseband. Check with your provider if there is any subscription, and if there are any, cancel them... Doing this after a full flash on Odin must clean your device from trouble...
Sorry if my reply caused any trouble to you, it wasn't my intention... :crying:

I have that phone too. Running android 6.0.1 but no google apps are available on this phone because Samsung China's devices have a restriction that is that phones don't have Google. i have updated my device from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 and then 6.0.1 one month ago.

You can't flash other model firmware to SM-A7000, odin process will be failed or may cause instability to your device or may brick your phone.

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??

I need help, and ZTE won't help!

So, I have the US version of the Axon 7 Mini, I wanted to downgrade too Marshmallow, so I downloaded a file flashed it, success! Problem is, is it was the EU version P852A11 supposed to be P852A12, I downloaded the Nougat update from ZTE USA, and tried too flash it no success it says wrong device basically! When I flashed the EU version it basically changed my device to P852A11, and now my device is EU! How does that work it should have recognized and said not compatible, but no it changed my device and I don't know what too do! Can somebody please help! If it is possible can someone download the US Nougat from the ZTE US file and edit it and make it for a P852A11 so I can flash it?!
Or can somebody tell me how too toot this phone, because I have had no success with the threads on XDA!!

@NewbieGamingYT,
Hi,
Sorry to hear that. Yet I am comfused about your phone's problem, as far as I can see, if you flash your phone ZTE cannot help you because when you flash your phone is out of warrenty. Hoping to get your reponse. Thanks!

TA-1000 chinese version with Google play installed - can be update outside China

Hello all!
I have a Nokia 6 TA-1000 with Google play preinstalled, with 4GB RAM /64GB. The phone is stuck at 7.1.1, 1st April.
Is there a chance to update the phone, without putting firmware from another region?
Thanks in advance!:good:

I've got the same problem. Sigh.
And now the Oreo beta is over and rollout has begun, so the official ROM should be easy to get right?

The one I told you, was suggested by developers, its official build for Nokia 6 TA 1000, after this you will get the OTA updates
Install them, then you will get OREO officially
Remember: after you flash this firmware, make a hard reset to let it work perfectly.

I had the same problem as you, with a ta-1000 and its modified rom. I did flash as sltushar says and from there all the OTAs were installed automatically. It is the only way to make your ta-1000 operational and updated.

Hello guys. I've got TA-1000. I'm in Malaysia.
Could you help me to have Oreo on my Nokia 6 Chinese version. I'm stuck on 7.1.1 and I don't know anything about flashing. I have an idea about upgrading using the sd card, but flashing! I have no idea.
