Hi guys, how are you all ? I purchased Xiaomi Mi 5 yesterday and I am trying to find out how to get rid of all applications in chinese language ... I set up my phone in english but 70% is still in chinese ... Does any managers exist for this issue ? I am still googling, but every answer would be apprecieted !
You can install other rom like xiaomi.eu using EDL. There are no chinese apps, gapps included and many more stuff.. Google more about EDL and you'll be good.
Here's the guide how to do it: http://www.honorbuy.com/forum/forum...xtra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=65&typeid=65

I think you need an unlocked bootloader to do this. Besides, there is no "international ROM" at the moment, and will never be until these idiots release the kernel source...
The EU rom is pretty good and can be flashed with a locked bootloader... Go to honorbuy and check out there forum its there with instructions.
Ah crap.. As above!. He even put a link up haha
Hi, I've just bought a brand new p9 from amazon and it was supoused to be 09 eva-L09 but the version it came is DL00. My question is regarding the chinese rom, is there any way to flash an european or american rom to remove all the chinese that the phone doesn't translate? If it is possible, can someone explain or refer me to the guide on how to do it and what rom should I get into the phone?
Thank you veeeeery much and pardon my english, I'm from Argentina !
you can search tutorials on how to debrand Huawei p9, note that you will need to unlock your bootloader and root your device first.
Hi everyone,
Apologies for my noob question, I'm a former Windows Phone user who is going to buy his second Android phone (upgrading from the A1).
When I buy the MI 8 right now, it's going to be the Chinese version (with English language support). Is it officially supported to "upgrade" the ROM to the international version when it becomes available? It's ok if I would need to reset the phone (lose all data/apps etc.) But my concern is that it will be a "hack" with no official support for updates later on.
Also, is it difficult to do that upgrade? (I'm a developer, so I have a tech background but I've never juggled with Android ROMs since my A1 came with the international ROM)
Thanks!!

Hi,
is not difficult unlock the bootloader, flash the twrp and the rom.
I have installed the xiaomi eu miui 10 version and seems that all work ok

"Dear Mi Fans,
Here's something VERY important before you flash or update the ROM.
1. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Chinese market are not able to run MIUI Global ROM.
2. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Global markets are not able to run MIUI China ROM.
We highly recommend you to buy Xiaomi Phones via official or authorized sales channels and double check the system infomation before flashing or updating.

I think they are full of horsesh*t because i'm running a Global ROM on a Chinese version phone. You just can't lock the bootloader or it will brick.

But you can install global rom, it's just impossible to lock BL again, you have to back to chinese rom to lock it!
With this new announcement, does it mean that we can still flash the xiaomi.eu ROM?
I have a phone on the way from china with the global rom flashed onto it
I'm a bit worried now

I almost regret buying this chinese phone. First, they introduced bootloader locking issue then edl authorization and now this! Xiaomi is becoming worst than I thought.
Will this be implemented for all Xiaomi phones?
unlock your bootloader and you can flash it
I think that Xiaomi is just taking that load out of his conscience.
Reminding people that if they brick is not their fault but yours.
I agree with you, a lot of people flesh before they read any instructions and end up with bricked device.
I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 from GeekBuying some days ago, faulty advertised as global version. When I updated the result was a bricked phone. Now I have asked for a full refund since it was totaly their fault...i don't want to say the word "fraud". If they don't give me a full refund I will have to complain to the European department responsible for customer's rights in Europe and ask charges against GeekBuying warehouses in Europe.

How did the upgrade brick your phone? Is it using Global ROM or China ROM?

You are totally right about it. This re-sellers are selling the Mi8 as Global Version, they unlock the BL without the buyer consent, so yes, they are adultarating the product and selling something that doesn't even exist.
And the problems with BL are there just because re-sellers are doing this kind of thing!

Uhm I'm not sure but I would say that geekbuying flashed the Global rom through EDL, so they didn't need to unlock bootloader. He then updated OTA with locked bootloader and **** happened. @ekc_1971 do you remember if bootloader was locked or unlocked?
Wait a little, I have a xiaomi mi 8 Chinese version with global rom installed, also the bootloader is unlocked l, does that mean that if I upgraded OTA to miui 10 my device will get bricked?
BTW I upgraded 2 times from 9.5 to 9.6 and everything ran smoothly, can someone please clarify?

If your bootloader is unlocked you won't brick. Make sure you never lock the bootloader though.
Thank you for clarifying, why would somebody want to lock the bootloader again?
I should not have any problem then, but I would appreciate if you guys could post comments when you upgrade to a global miui 10 having a Chinese version.
Hello guys
Just got a quick question for your guys. I want to buy MI 8, and i am getting MI 8 Chinese model with bootloader unlocked and xiaomi.eu rom installed, now i want to ask that is it safe to buy that model? I want to install HavocOS or pixel experience, is these roms support Chinese variant?
It's completely safe to do what you want to do provided you follow the information on the threads here. I also bought a Chinese variant mi 8 and have installed numerous roms.
