Hi to all and please excuse my panic because that's the state I'm into right now.
I bought a Note 3 which is a Chinese version therefore I don not have access to Play Store plus the phone things I'm a Chinese living in China (defaut browser showed me Chinese results - oh my).

First thing I did before I seek help here was to install the Google Play Store .apk. Didnt work because Google Services keep crashing thanks to the latest official ROM by Samsung that banned everything related to Google for China market.

If you just want to install apps, you can use another othe app stores like mobigenie, 9apps, etc.
Or you can try flashing gapps through recovery

In great need of assistance

Hello,
I own a Huawei Honor 5x (KIW-AL10) and it seems to be the chinese version.
The problem is i cannot sync contacts or get google apps by default. It's really annoying. Plus some chinese words here and there, even if the language is set to english.
My question is : how safe would be flashing a stock ROM, but for a different version of the phone (USA, Europe).
Has anyone did this before ? And if so, what ROM and where to download it from ? I would like to receive Marshallow update too.
Thank you
Hi Sir, you can install any version of the stoock rom just be sure that your model is same otherwise it will not install. And you can install Europe one because MM is recieved by the Europe CSC phones
The LTE bands seem to be fine. I live in Romania and i get 4G. My only issue with the phone is the ROM and all Google features i cannot get. For example, i cant use contacts from my Google account.
Im looking for a solutions to be able to install an international version of software and not to brick my phone. By the way, my phone has 3GB of RAM.
Hello and thank you for your input.
The thing that buggs me right now is that i cannot use google contacts.
I've downloaded Play Store from Huawei thingy presinstalled on the phone and worked my way from there.
Google App, Gmail are up to date.
Problem is that "sync contacts" will not appear on Accounts > Google. I have given all permisions to Google app.
I need to find a way to switch to an European / Worldwide ROM. I am willing to pay for someone's time helping me.
I do love this phone and what it offers and i would like MM update too.
I've done some research and it seems that is possible to change the region code. After that its ok to flash the ROM from that specific region.
However, i dont have any experience regarding this process. Can someone assist me via skype ? I will pay, of course !
Noone did this before ?

Recently bought a Yoga Tab 3 Plus from china and can't access google play store. HELP

Hey all. As the title says I recently got the tab 3 plus from China and as such it isn't loaded with anything google related. I tried downloading the apk files for google services and store but it seems lenovo have gone out of their way to make sure these things don't work on the device. After many hours trying to figure out how to solve my problem I stumbled upon a video on youtube of a man who flashed a Chinese version of the device with global row firmware. Unfortunately he did not mention how he went about doing this, so here I am in a desperate attempt to figure it out. Going to be honest I was really hoping I wouldn't have to risk bricking my device just so I can use the apps I like. Any help on the safest way to go about this procedure would be greatly appreciated.
Quick edit my model number is YT-X703F running android 6.0.1
I don't know anything about the China version. Have you tried changing the language? Settings/ Personal/ Language and settings.
Download the Google Play apk to your computer. Transfer apk to the tabs Download folder.
