Is it possible to flash EU ROM on a CAZ-AL10? - Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers

Hi everybody!
My question is in the title "Is it possible to flash EU ROM on a CAZ-AL10?".
Thank you for your feedback!

CAZ AL 10
Also searching same

The CAZ AL10 is the model that came out in China and is for all major Chinese carriers versus the China mobile only one. The twrp, LOS and other things work fine on it (there was one poster who had problems, but they cannot be confirmed with logs).

I'm trying to flash system.img with fastboot but that error occurs:
UNLOCKED Bootloader = FAILED Remote: command not allowed
I made sure that the command is correct.

I have CAZ-AL10 which was changed to CAN-L11. There is guide in russian language how do it with TWRP and HUC. 4pda_link
After this instruction u will have euro location L11C432, and firmware CAN-L11C432B390, but u will have china boot.img. There are not any bugs.

After flashing Chinese AL10 to L29 NXT-C900B133 what stock ROM can I use?

I've reasonably scoured the Mate 8 section looking for what ROM to use to convert my NXT-C900B133 to a locked, stock version and avoid the problems with the phone being unlocked and untrusted, not to mention not receiving OTA updates.
There are pages and pages of questions and answers, but I haven't found an answer to this problem of mine.
Many folk must have used that thread on how to convert an AL10 to L29 but no one seems to have clarified how to return the Mate 8 to a locked state which will receive OTA. I saw someone asked a similar question but got no answer. Possibly I won't either but I'm now out of ideas so why not ask?
I never tested NFC before I changed ROMs and I'm hoping an updated stock ROM may fix an NFC reading problem I'm having.
The thread in referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/howto-load-international-mate-8-t3293619/page1
C436B190 Wil be better if you want European version
C636B200 if asian version
I have the L29 C636,there is no difference between C432 and C636,in C636 no China Apps or something else

Thanks very much. I will hunt down C436B190 as I wanted to have the international version, but could only buy a Chinese version.
Cheers.

My search for C436B190 didn't bring up any results.
I then tried the link in your signature (latest stock version) but that didn't work (using the three buttons together & dload folder). Got the "software failed install, incompatible with current version, reboot" error.
I don't suppose you have a link to the version your recommend?
Cheers.
Try this budyy
Download
I also live in South Africa and got the C900B133. There is a C900B188 available if you just want to stick with your current "global" version.
I changed my country code to the C636 and flashed C636B321. If you do this according to @somboons SRK Tool and instructions you will end up with a Locked stock C636B321 which is great.

Hi there, thanks for the link (I assume C436B190?).
I downloaded the update, which took almost 3 hrs the site is sooo slow.
I connected an SD card with the update in a folder called dload. Start the three finger boot and was really disappointed to be told at 5%:
"software failed to install
incompatibility with current version
reboot"
I tried again with moving dload to internal memory, but the same outcome.
Scratching my head here. Are my steps faulty?
Cheers.

Hi, someone in the same boat so to speak!
I didn't know that the C900 part designated your country code. What made you chose C636 (China)? I have seen @somboons pages but didn't find answers to my problem, well staring me in the face anyway!
Does ZA have a country code and stock ROM? I went into Huawei's new store in Melrose Arch this morning. The guy tried to help but couldn't assist with a stock ROM and referred me to their main office in Bryanston. I figure at this point I will get better information on XDA!
My Mate 8 is just rejecting any ROM I try to flash. On the face of it, only the right ROM will be accepted, but I haven't found it (or I'm doing it wrong!).

I am not sure of the South African country code, if it even has one, but I have another Huawei which is C185 which is Africa and middle-east. It all depends who imported the phone and who you bought it from. Huawei phones don't control their ROMs like Samsung.
C636 is Asia. China has it's own model NXT-AL10 instead of NXT-L29. I chose NXT-L29 C636 B** simply because it had the highest update number for 'international versions ..which is B321 ... So I installed NXT-L29C636B321.
All international versions, NXT-L29, are full English, as apposed to China model NXT-AL10 which is mainly chinese.
Also any ROM that you choose from C3** has the new EMUI 4.1 and they are NOT officially released by Huawei yet, so you flash them at your own cost...although I have found them pretty good.
You cannot just flash any ROM over your current ROM. You have to change region(called: debranding) and then you can flash the ROM you choose from that region.
So you need to spend a bit of time reading up on the threads by @somboons because EVERYTHING is there...you just have to decide what you want.

Hi @Finefeather,
just to clarify that I imported the Mate 8 from HKG, and it was an AL10. Before ordering the Chinese version, I had read that thread on how to convert to international. That process worked perfectly, leaving me with this NEXT NXT-C900B133.
Did you follow the same path as me? (AL10 flashed to NXT-C900B133 flashed to NXT-L29C636B321)
You said: "You have to change region(called: debranding)". That's news to me, thanks. This is probably why every attempt to flash C900 with C436 hasn't worked. I'm going to look for the @somboons SRK Tool information now!

Mine was a NXT-L29C900B133 to start with, bought locally from an online shop. I had to debrand to C636 with @somboons SRK Tool which works great and then I just flashed straight over with dload method...My phone model now is NXT-L29C636B321 all locked and stock.
Just make sure you understand all the steps before you start. I spent 2 weeks reading @somboons threads before I did the deed...I come from years of Samsung so everything is a little strange to start off with.
What's your country code?
First you have to unlock bootloader
Second install TWRP
Third Root after debugging
Fourth flash new firmware
Then do a dload to lock
Country code? Currently the version is reported as C900 which is apparently Global.
Thank you for the steps involved, which don't look too complex when you list them. I've only achieved step one, but the rest look straightforward. The problem is knowing this stuff before you start! Cheers.

anything that works on the l31, c432 means it's the european variant
So all L31 variants work? Or is there differences in lte bands lets say like 432 and 185 variants ?
You can flash whatever rom version you want.
As most of us, we've installed vns-l31c185/c636b360(latest version of Nougat) and we don't have bugs or problems.
No matter what oem info it has (oem info is the Variant/region of the phone, like c432 is for Europe, c185 is for mena , c636 asia i guess, correct me if I'm wrong) The version will be compatible with your phone.
I don't know if there is differences between oem info of each region , personally i installed c185b360+ the additional package of c432b328 over c432b161,( i was in mm and went to nougat) and i dont have problems with mobile data.
@simo255
Thanks for the answers. Like i said i currently have rooted L31c432b336 and revolution recovery.
If i want to update b360 should upgrade through dload method or twrp?

Via twrp you can flash nougat without changing oem info. If you want to update via dload you must have the oeminfo of the rom you want to install.( So if you are on C432 you can t flash C185 Ffirmware via dload because you havr c432 oeminfo) but be carefull..there arr lots of bricked devicea.

Sorry to rub it, but I want to be sure because I already had troubles when upgrading to nougat.
But....so in twrp I can just flash the bigger (abt 1.2gb) file and its should work? No need to flash second smaller zip?
I have had Sony devices past 3 year and I have used to flash those

Like i did , flash the bigger size and the additional package, take a look at my thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932
I will follow simo225's instructions.
Now I'm beginning to wonder what is the differences between smaller zip and additional zip, because I thought they were the same :laugh:

HUAWEI Enjoy 7S (FIG-AL10) rebranding to HUAWEI P Smart (FIG-LX1): feasible? how?

I bought a Huawei Enjoy 7s (FIG-AL10) in China, but now I would like to rebrand it to a European version (FIG-LX1).
I read tons of posts suggesting to use TWRP, but there is no TWRP available for this phone.
I found a firmware for FIG-LX1 version on Firmware Finder, but now I do not know how to load it into the phone and rebrand it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I bought the huawei P smart which is the European version of Huawei Enjoy 7s. i think we should wait for a forum to be opened here for this device before we can do anything like unlocking bootloader or Rebranding and rooting.
just be patient bro.
I've just found a procedure to root Huawei P Smart, but XDA does not allow me to post the link.
Try to look in google: "Huawei P smart - Root - Anleitung".
It works perfectly. I tried it out on my Huawei Enjoy 7S.
Next thing would be to flash another firmware to change from Chinese to European version, but I'm still not sure how to do it.

I just tried, but system.img writing failed.
In the rescue.exe compressed folder it seems that there are two files: system.img and vendor.img.
Is vendor.img to be renamed to cust.img?
Sorry. I uploaded vendor instead of cust. Will replace the download by tomorrow.
Just translated the tuto:

I tried to flash from fastboot cust.img and system.img of P Smart on Enjoy 7S but writing failed.
Probably rebrand on this phone involves other partitions or files (oeminfo?) that I'm still not aware of.
I hope a procedure for rebrand will be released soon.

Thanks so much, really appreciate the help. I will do so in the future.
Just to confirm what would be the reason to flash and install a TWRP? For dev reasons only?
Or just to remove all the preset Chinese settings?
@ChinHon
Interesting i can install all the services from Google-Installer-v3 onto a Enjoy 7S, but can not open the Play Store or Drive as it just hangs on the loading screen. And never actually goes in.
Haha, im stumped .
Find the current Playstore Apk from the net and install it.
TWRP is necessary for Magisk rooting or to create backups or flash zip`s.
I can't help much with dabranding. I don't know very much about that.

I tried in several ways to install C432 firmware on my Enjoy 7S, but no way to flash System.img.
As soon as I flash C432 oeminfo file FRP gets locked and I cannot flash anything anymore.
I tried also Dc Unlocker tools, but System.img flashing stops with the message "Sparse flash write failure".
I'm still looking for somebody who managed to rebrand the Enjoy 7S to P Smart.

I wish i could help,I cant currently even get any Google option on the Enjoy 7S to run. Even trying to add a google account to cloud just freezes. Seems as soon as any Google option is chosen, the Google Services just states "Restarting".
Out of options.
Google services installation was an easy task compared to rebrand.
Download GMS from the link below:
https://mega.nz/#!WqYwyLyD!l7H8WRHBHs0ZwpyE0w2c7n6AvTSpTF29KjjX7_MM2u8
Procedure:
1. Install GMS (it is going to clear all previous google apps and restart the phone)
2. Install google play that I included in the zip file.
Let me know. For me it worked like a charm.

Global Rom Is Now Available!

Global Rom is officialy out!
it turns out 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD is a real global rom with a broken modem.
just update to newer releases that might fix the issue.
You cant just flash the global rom over an Antirollback rom as the global rom doesnt have Antirollback. (it will brick your device)
Guide to installing global rom on antirollback devices & installing global rom with fixed modem (for calls and internet) over china rom (no ARB): here
Download Links for Official Global Rom: here
Antirollback information: here
Thanks and have a great day!

Hello there people!
our lovely new Mi Max 3 is now available for purchase on many websites.
These websites sell you a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom".
The version that they sell is 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD
Unfortunately this rom is FAKE / Un-Official and is dangerous for your device!
Why? because to install this shady rom they need to unlock your bootloader unofficialy and install a rom which was not originaly designed for Mi Max 3! this rom bricks some partitions of your device and may cause a lot of issues later! Some say that this rom may cause damage to the ability to flash roms and more onto your device or to move to official rom / xiaomi.eu rom
THERE ISNT ANY OFFICIAL GLOBAL ROM AVAILABLE FOR MI MAX 3 YET!
I suggest not to buy the Mi Max 3 with a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom". (Please notice that some people that have asked not to install the fake rom got their devices with the fake rom even though they asked!)
Be patient and wait for official global rom from en.miui.com
Have a great day!

I suggest flashing the latest china beta rom using fastboot mode
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED
download: here
after that flash xiaomi.eu rom
tutorial: here
Why do you need to flash both the china beta rom and the xiaomi.eu rom?
The flashing of xiaomi.eu does not delete everything previously installed anyway?

Fastboot china rom will wipe all partitions and reinstall them.
Xiaomi.eu recovery rom only changes the SYSTEM partition, remember you are coming from a fake rom so you might not want to have broken partitions from the flashing of the fake rom.
My Max 3 comes with this so-called "Global" ROM.
I checked my bootloader and it says Unlocked. So yesterday I downloaded CN ROM and flashed it via fastboot.
Ok, I understand. "fastboot china rom" means it should only be installed through fastboot? or its also possible through custom recovery?

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED BEFORE DOING THIS OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Fastboot roms are flashed through a special tool by xiaomi which can be found: here
You also might need adb drivers which are found: here
1. Open the drivers file and click "y" for every option that it asks for.
1. Install the fastboot tool tool
2. Download the fastboot rom that you wanna flash
3. Unzip the rom to a folder on your pc
4. Open the tool and in bottom right corner there will be 3 options, select "clean all"
5. Click on the "select" button on top left corner and head to the folder that you unziped, select it.
6. On your device enable "USB debugging", "install via USB", "USB Debugging (security settings)", and disable "verify apps over USB" (Developers options are enabled by going to "about phone" then spam clicking the "MIUI version" until it says that your are a developer. then go to "additional setting" and you will find "developer options")
7. Boot your device to fastboot mode by holding down the vol- + power key together until you see a bunny with fastboot sign.
8. Connect your device to your PC and click the "refresh" button on top right corner. (your phone should now appear in the list)
9. Click "flash" and wait until your device boots to the MI logo and 3 dots. (DONT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE BEFORE THAT!!!)
10. Wait for your device to boot up
11. Enjoy!
Hi, So if I buy with China ROM (Outside China - I live in Thailand) I can download and change to Global ROM once it's released?
China ROM will still get updates, though right?
Sorry for numpty question!
This is the ROM on my girlfriends Mi Max 3.
Thanks for the info but it would also be good if you posted up how to check if the bootloader is unlocked seeing how important it is before doing any steps.
Also you state that for the people to put on the fake ROM they had to unlock the bootloader in the first place so would they then relock the bootloader? Won't all phones with fake ROMs have unlocked bootloaders?

Check if you can install twrp, if you can its unlocked.
You may never know...
This procedure work on 128 Gb mi max 3 ?
Thank you
I ordered a one from Eternal Team on Ali before I seen this and asked them about the fake rom and the bootloader after it was sent this is the reply .....
Dear friend:
Welcome to our store . /:000
Sorry for the late reply .
It's locked . But you could use the Google play and use all the function normally . If you need use the Mi service . You need unlock it by yourself .
Please check this link:http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Best regards,
Cassie-- ET
(Working time: GMT+8, 9:00 am-6:30 pm, Mon-Fri)
So looks like the bootloader is locked and this fake rom is installed.
Great

Thanks for the advice and I really appreciate your help but could you give some clearer step by step instructions as many people are not coming from a Xiaomi world. I come from Note4 and for me to install TWRP I do this using Odin but;
1) In simple step by step guide, how do you install TWRP on the Mi Max 3?
2). How do you unlock the bootloader - I go to https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and it starts in English then the next page is in Mandarin so not good to me.
These and other basics instructions are needed to be clearly detailed in a thread as there will be many people following me with the same questions/issues.

Thanks for the advice and I really appreciate your help but could you give some clearer step by step instructions as many people are not coming from a Xiaomi world. I come from Note4 and for me to install TWRP I do this using Odin but;
1) In simple step by step guide, how do you install TWRP on the Mi Max 3?
2). How do you unlock the bootloader - I go to https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and it starts in English then the next page is in Mandarin so not good to me.

1. yes go: here
2. You need to create a mi account on global forums and then use them to apply, assign the account to your phone in developer settings and unlock your phone after you got perms. search for a vid on how to unlock the bootloader on xiaomi devices on YT for a better guide.
Thanks for the info.

Excellent, thanks that is much clearer.
I checked this video on youtube for checking 'locked bootloader' and also how to unlock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL2omn9PGc4
I did not need to unlock becasue as I rightly guessed the bootloader is still unlocked. (pic attached). This is on both the Mi Max 3's that I have.
So I'll just start the process of flashing the Chinese ROM (to make sure of partition integrity) via Fastboot and then installing TWRP, and then flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM.
OK omer919, thanks to you I have flashed the Chinese MUI10 Fastboot ROM.
Unfortunately the link to the TWRP instructions is not good at the moment as the TWRP link in that thread is not working and the thread is now closed.
Do you (or anyone else) have a working link to TWRP for Mi Max 3 so I can install the Xiaomi.eu ROM?

C900 B163??

Hello dear,
I don't know if the 'demo' version can be unlocked (bootloader code),
but if yes then you can use @k1ll3r8e's TOOLKIT to rebrand to another region (cust)
like C432 european or C636 asian, etc... you just need the correct files.
Once you rebranded then will be possible to upgrade to nougat via Firmware Finder app
or some other tool/script.
P.S.: What version of p9 lite do you have ? L21-L22-L23-L31-L53 ?
Cheers

Well, i think you can rebrand to the european firmware (C432);
both single and dual sim oeminfo files and matching firmwares (B160&B161) available. (see the attachments below)
But, like a told, you need to unlock the bootloader first.
P.S.: you already risked to brick the device trying by your own,
using the toolkit and doing something wrong could turn the device in a paperweight....beware what you do with your device !!!

Dear friend,
I agree with you and completely opposed to paying, but
I believe there are no other ways than giving up a couple of beers and
using DC-UNLOCKER which at the cost of 4 euro reads the bootloader code.
Obviously you only know if it's worth it and definitely remains your choice.
For everything you should / want to do there's a guide you just have to follow.
If you encounter any problems or are unsure about how to do,
you can always meet the community or me in this topic.
I wish you the best !!
Cheers
