Hello everyone
I've recently spend a few weeks in China and have discovered that most phones in the US are behind the times, so I decide to pickup a Huawei P20 Pro. Not having to done my research properly (totally my fault) I discover many items are not install on the Chinese version of Oreo such as Google Play Store and etc. So I was wondering what is the simplest was to change my Chinese firmware to the Canadian version. I have not done anything to P20 Pro yet, did not do any OTA upgrade yet.
Model - CLT-AL00
Build Number - CLT-A00 8.1.0.111(C00)
EMUI - 8.1.0
Android 8.1.0
Not looking for anything special builds or anything, I just want the simple Canadian stock firmware version of the P20 Pro loaded and the simplest way. Thank you in advance.
You can install all the Google Apps with the apk (sideloading). Mine is working good (chinese version in Brazil), but just without some Google features that I don't use (like swipe left to go to assistant, for example).
You need the bootloader unlock code to install a new firmware, but the Huawei stopped to give these codes a some time ago. You can search the forum from time to time to find if they restarted this "service".
Search for funkyhuawei.
I think they have all the services you need.
You will have to pay for it though.
Cheers.
Thank you both @FOXTEiN and @Nano- yes I been trying to look for the bootloader, not sure why they stop providing it. Argg.. this sucks. Life goes on.

Hi There,
I bought Huawei P9 plus in china in Dec 16, model no: VIE-AL10. I continually update the Chinese firmware on it, when the phone requests a new one is available. However I get fed up that there are still some features I can't access as I don't understand chinese and also I don't have a chinese registered mobile no. to access some of the Huawei faciilities.
Can I change the firmware to a European version? and if so how do I go about this. I'm not very savvy when it comes to mobiles so a simple step by step process would be appreciated . What are the main differences between the two firmwares which you think I will benefit from?
thanks
andy
On XDA, 'support' for P9 Plus is much less than for P9 (there are procedures to debrand P9 and install EU cust c432, wherefrom you can install custom ROMs for P9, etc).
If you google for e.g. XDA VIE-AL10, you can find some threads about installing TWRP and rooting the Chinese P9 Plus, you may further ask there
TG, I have P9 EVA-L09 which is best 'supported' (with L19)
Hi, I have purchased honor 9 lite mobile in China, it contains Chinese firmware (LLD-AL00). Google apps are not working, I am able to install apps from hiapp or through apk however after installation apps are not getting opened, so I want to rebrand to Asian (Indian) version (LLD-AL10). Can any one help me in re-branding phone?
Hi, I did have same probelm as you before, you may install a gms installer to activate google account as well as google play, as I'm a junior user so ca n not post link to you, you can search following keyword " 應用匯 gms 安裝器 " , it 's a 55M apk file, current version is 1.2
I believe final solution would be install a india rom to replace it, awaiting other fan to update if resource is available.

c185 firmwares always support google apps.
For flashing I plan to use the tool in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Read it carefully, it has been used to flash several Huawei devices.
But so far I didn't get the oeminfo of this firmware so can't flash it because my device is from different region.
If you want to try do it at your own risk.
Thank you.
Hello,
I would like to change my phone from LLD-AL10 to European firmware, so I'm interested is there a way to use zip file from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/honor-9-lite-update-zip-lld-l31-8-0-0-t3767781 and can I simply put this file on my phone and run update or it's not that simple ... I'm new to this and for now I've managed to unlock bootloader following video tutorial from another thread.
Thanks
I'm still searching how to re brand phone to Europe version, so apparently I need something called OEM info, so is it available for honor 9 lite to download from somewhere?
Still the same for me. Buy a LLD-AL10 version, with no B20 band (800mhz). Is it possible to install LLD-L31 rom (stock) ? And does anybody know if it the same hardware (to have B20) ?
Best regards
seb
Hello,
Does anybody knows if I use Firmware Findert and download latest OTA update for european version (there are three files - update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_LLD-L31A_hw_eu.zip), can I use these filese somehow to rebrand my phone or do I risk to brick my phone if I force these update to install?
Thanks
I’m also want to know how to flash from chineses rom to India or Europe version.
Mind is LLD-AL00 8.0.0.163(C00)
Why not install a generic AOSP instead of using firmware from a different region?. Honor 9 Lite is Project Treble supported. As advertised on XDA Features, AOSP brings out more juice from the device. This is just a recommendation as I haven't tried it yet, but it is on my to do list after the return period for my unit lapses.

Hi there
Thanks for you advice.
I want to use different regions because China version didn’t have google services and so many useless applications that I can’t remove.
Thanks
Paul
PS: I just read some aosp articles around here, seems it still have some unstable issues like camera and battery, so i’m still going after the original rom.
In fact, what kind of international version is he using instead of the China versions rom in this video? https://youtu.be/AyBX1YoHtMc

There seems to be no issue with the camera on AOSP, it's just that battery suffers a bit compared to stock EMUI. Again, this is based on the XDA review, so I cannot really vouch on how the AOSP-GSI performs on Honor 9 Lite. But if you're really looking to flash stock ROM from another location, there's no harm done in trying this one first to see if it is to your liking.
As for flashing firmware from other regions, read here (google translated). It's an alternative site I use to supplement the info I obtain here in XDA.

I also have a chinese version P20 PRO CLT-AL00 8.1.0.108(sp3c00).
Will it lose some hardware functions?
What about warranty ? All I want would be to have a normal European software inside with google apps and so on.
In case I have a problem I would install the backup of the current firmware and send it to repairs in China.
How in a quickly overview can I do this ? I know about TWRP but I am not sure if I can just copy the firmware from one L29 to my L00 and just hope for the best..
I successfully rebranded and installed a european firmware (CLT-L29 8.1.0.120 (C432)) with FunkyHuawei. The Huawei stock apps are replaced with Google stock apps. I haven't loss any noticeable functionality.
The UK Huawei team is the only team I encounter that actually helps with customers, especially with assisting unlocking bootloaders. I would consider sending the phone to them before China.
Warranty is voided when bootloader is unlocked and the device is rooted. UK Huawei team gives several warnings about warranty while obtaining the unlock code for the bootloader.
Do you an an e-mail contact for the Huawei UK team?

Mine is the chinese version too, I’ve asked Huawei UK for the code. What’s the procedure to rebrand it?

There's instructions provided and Funky Huawei will happily help you through the process if you get stuck or confused.
In general,
Unlock Bootloader
Setup DNS server to point to FunkyHuwaei
Boot to Fastboot
Run rebrand tool with device connected
Choose region
Choose firmware
Boot to eRecovery
Run update
Wait and reboot, success
You'll encounter errors and will have to run the tool twice. This is normal.
Sorry for replying in an older thread but I didn't want to create a new one for a similar question.
I have a P20 Pro bought from China, as I had problems using my S8+ with China sims, but I would like to bring to EU firmware as it has chinese voice control menus with chinese commands that cannot be changed to english. Google is there as a separate menu but it doesn't include Wake Up command like the native functionalities in the Voice control menu.
Is there a way to bring it to EU firmware but unroot it after I'm done? Reason is I have insurance to cover my phone back in UK but I'm not sure whether it will cover it if it's rooted.

You have to write here the all firmware (Cxxx).
I have also same problem.
Hello,
Need your help to solve OTA update.
I bought my P40 pro in Sep'2020 and installed Google in October '2020 with YouTube vedio by Redskull of Mr. Alex.
For your information that my P40 is running excellent, all banking, wallets, food ordering apps including all google apps running smoothly.
The only issue I have is that not received OTA till date after I installed GMS. My phone is on EMUI 10 and build number is 10.1.0.131 (C636E8R6P1). Is it that I have done some error on installing the GMS that restricted to get OTA update?
If possible please help me on this issue so that I can get EMUI 11 and other security updates.
Appreciate your help in this regards.
Thanks in advance.

If you want my advice: stay on that firmware version. Google and Huawei do a lot of work to block every possibility to install and run Google apps. On the last firmware they make a lot of sh..s. I stay on 10.1.0.121. (C432)

I also think you said the right thing. Since all is working fine woth GMS installed better stay as it is till Huawei has its own operating system plus Apps galary similar to the Google play store.

Hello! Because I answered to the same questions on different threads, I decided to create this thread, where I will provide my experience to you, in one place. The followings messages (2-7) contain all major info and tutorials links from this...

Hi everyone. i searched the forum but did not find any suitable information, i hope i did not miss anything.
I have a Nokia 8, Model: TA-1004 (Dual SIM), running the latest known stock update to me Android 9 00WW_5_15G_SP04.
I have some company SW on the phone which starts to make a fuzz about the to old Android version (9) so i have to either buy a new phone or update the current one. Problem is that my company does not allow any rooted devices. Is there any chance to update it to a newer version of Android without root?
Does anybody know? The phone is otherwise great and it would be a bugger having to buy a new one just because of this.
Best regards and thanks a bunch for any possible help here.

You can put Android 12 Pixel Experience on it, default is unrooted. But ofcourse you need to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks for your reply. Now that sounds interesting. I will have to check how that is done. Have not done that before.
Have you got a link for that rom somewhere?
Regards
Basicly all is covered here: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/NB1/install/
Nokia Bootloader Unlock Took doesn't work anymore but you can still unlock using this guide: https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/
After bootloader unlock you can install T-Virus, it includes PixelExperience Android 12, then just take OTA to latest version.
