Probably not running. If yes for 09. Can try it, but only if you have a 00.
hello,
is this still 4.4.2 ?
Yes, 4.4.2.
Hi, i don't know why, but i can't apply update.
Always fail, i test it with my 64Gb and a 4Gb Sd card and always fail.
I restore the original recovery but don't seem to work for me (MT-L09)
Is it just me, or does battery life seem even better with this updated firmware?
after the software update I have no way switch between 4g and 3g network.
4g switch disappeared from menu, i can't turn on 4g on after update.
Dose anyone have the same problem?
My phone has 4G as default on, and it is working fine. But if I choose something else like 3G, I don't have a choice to get 4G back. On old firmware I had it as a seperate choice. Luckily, I backed up my phone before I tried this. Just loading old backup. Doesn't really affect me as I never disable 4G, but it is a little strange......
Edit 1:
Restore didn't work. Stuck in bootloop. Will try to figure out a slolution.....
Edit 2:
Managed to get phone on again, and did a factory restore (wiped everything) Started phone up again (like for the first time) and 4G option was back. Now to install my programs again.......
Will the update work on this Firmware: MT7-L09V100R001C00B120SP04 ?
The document inside states that the upgrade is intended for MT7-L09V100R001C00B118SP04 or MT7-L09V100R001C00B121SP05, so not sure if my version can be updated without problems.
I've downloaded old software B120SP04,
and I made an update to the software.
Again have the option to 4G and everything works fine.
4g on and old firmware.

Yes, it works for me.
too bad : I could not install it : "installation aborted" with no further details : not very helpful for debugging !
I'm also having B120 firmware though....
EDIT : finally fine on B120SP04
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!

Hi, I just bought a huawei nova during my time in China. It's fully unlocked and has all the Chinese apps like baidu market place and such. Im wondering if that means I can't root it or tweak it with the tweaks and ROMS posted on this website? Is my nova different enough not to be able do this stuff? Thanks
Edit: model number is WAS-AL00
Emui 5.1 Android 7.0

Root should work without any troubles.
I don't know about LOS/RR, but maybe they'll work too.
It is not the same phone, so no, TWRP/ROMs will not work (well, most likely). It is a different model, Huawei Nova Lite I believe. Huawei Nova original models in China are CAZ-......, not WAS.

Hi, I have a Ticwatch Pro 4G/LTE (Catshark) [USA]. Do you know if it is possible to flash the EU stock firmware? I find so many comments here in the blog but, after a long research, seems I didn't fine a final answer to that
Can someone highlight me if was able to do the "conversion". For sure EU firmware seems is still getting updated, while US one no
Thank you!

I don't mean to say you are wrong but to share my experience. September of 2021 I got a TicWatch Pro 4G (catshark) and I live in the US. Brand new, but I can not tell you what firmware it came with. I flashed the U.S.A rom the moment the battery got to 50%, lol. I had nothing but issues. I flashed everything over and over. I think I could win a TickWatch setup Speedrun by now, I should summit my time. I made a bash script to automate the whole flashing process because I was tired of it.
I was out of ideas. I said "F it" nothing left to flash but the EU version. To my surprise it works perfectly, even data with Verizon, text, everything works for me, even Majisk. Flash Magisk 20.4 and you can install some modules. It's all kinda pointless on a watch though
I know the question is old by now but maybe it will help someone out just getting a TicWatch.

Can you post screenshots of such a setup please? I have posted several screenshots of my setup in other post and I can tell you that I believe there is no way that the EU rom will work on US Verizon. So please, post screenshots of rom build version and working Verizon signal, if you don't mind! I'm sure I'm not the only one that doubts such a working setup! Thank you!

Network State says "Disconnected" not sure what that's about but Verizon works as it should. Phone number is there, I purposely didn't show the whole number. I couldn't tell the EU version from the US by looking at firmware version but It's the Rom labeled "EU" is all I know.
I flash it manually with a rooted Note 10 if that makes any difference. Never connected the watch to a pc. I
Why is everyone so quiet now? You were not expecting screenshots?......I'm joking. Is that even the EU Rom? I honestly can't tell. It's from the EU Mega Folder posted here.
Good Evening
I would like some advice regarding my note 4. I bought it second hand, as I've had 1 before, and I love the devices.
The issue i'm experiencing is that I can't install messenger, I have no problem installing any other apps, only messenger.
These are the things I've tried to rectify the problem
I've factory reset the device.
Cleared cache and data on both Playstore and google services.
Changed the playstore settings to UK.
Uninstalled and then tried reinstalling Messenger.
Tried installing it in safe mode.
Disabled Automatic restore of device.
Tried a different log in for playstore.
Tried downloading from a different app downloader service.
The phone is currently running android 5 Lollypop. (Could I upgrade this to another version? If so how would I go about doing this? explained in novice terms).
Would rooting the device help? (also how do I do this?).
I really would appreciate any advice that anyone could give regarding this matter.
Kind regards
Col
