Hello,
I recently got my hands on a ascend p7 from china (I know I'm late to the party but I still would like to get this done). So I thought if it would be possible to install an international version (respective the european one). So I basicly want to have back the usual huawei bootsequence (it's now from a chinese mobile service) and would like to get rid of the chinese apps and get the play store back.
So what I found out so far
- unlock bootloader
- flash twrp
- (root)
but from here I have no real clue since there are some custom roms (unbloated ones) but I don't know if it can be flashed on a chinese device since all of them state it's only for L10 (some non chinese version I guess).
Can anyone give me a hint if it's possible to flash either a custom rom or get a european version for it?
Thanks in advance

Okay guys I'm tired. I don't understand why it won't works : I have a brand new Huawei P9, it's a Dual Sim (L19-C185). It's not branded. My current firmware version is EVA-L19-C185B170. I don't want to root or unlock if possible, I just want EMUI 5.0. I've tried to install it (mostly firmware B385, no particular reason) by using the firmware finder, by using HiSuite and by using the "dload" method. None of it worked, it always fail when it "verifies package", or when I use the "dload" method, just after (it tells that the package I've downloaded is not compatible with the version currently installed).
I don't know what to do anymore. Why do I even don't have the OTA ? Is it still deploying ? Do you see what I'm doing wrong ?
For information I've more or less followed this tutorial : http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017...gat-b385-update-emui5-middle-east-africa.html
Note : I didn't use the absolute last version of HiSuite, but almost. Can it come from there ? When I install using Hisuite and Huawei Adapter, Huawei Adaptater warn me that it coudl brick my device since I checked "custom rom" (which make me thinks that it should force the flash), HiSuite tells me that it installed successfully, but my phone just says that the package is incorrect. But it IS the correct package. I did all of this for numerous other brands, but now I don't know what to do anymore.
So, I sent the phone back.
I realized that, even if the firmware was EVA-L19-C185B170, it was actualy a TL00. I think that TL00 is specific to China Mobile (or perhaps other Chinese providers) and that they haven't develloped an official rom for this phone. On my phone, EVA-L19 was somehow flashed, and the bootloader was locked, which means that the vendor successfuly crossflashed a rom that was not intented for this model, without unlocking the phone, or by unlocking and then relocking the phone. If I believe this forum, both methods are currently unknown. However the fact that I had this phone prove that at least one of those two methods is possible. Perhaps more information can be found on the Chinese web. Knowing none of these method, and being unable to update (the low-level software somehow know that my phone is an LT00, and won't update to a firmware which isn't. No LT00 Nougat seems to exists. So I was ****ed) and not willing to unlock the bootloader to try flash without any garantee (I think that hardware are the same, so flashing a L19 Nougat should be fine however), I send back the phone, and bought another, which seller garanteed me it was a L19.
If you run into the same issues, Good luck.
Same Issue with Me
I have been trying to find an upgrade. And my phone is on same firmware as you mentioned. Even I have bought it online from China, and i suppose I am facing the same problem, about it being an original TL00, but tweaked to L19.
I cant send the phone back as i reside in another country!!
Any possible solutions you may suggest?
Can anyone please help with the same..!!
Im looking for the Stock Prop of the Xt-1990-7 Moto X4 or a Rom which is for XT-1900-7 Because i lost my offical software so im asking here (Only the EU Version please)
And is here any way to flash TWRP Recovery directly to the moto x4? (so its everytime aviable)
Get the February pach version from the rom thread. Unfortunately, there is not another version but there will be updates. And it does not matter if you lock the bootloader or not there will always be a message when booting up. In addition, you have to install the bootloader to unlock. please ask for further questions. If you speak German you can also write to me privately in German or simply in English and German. Of course I also have a 1900-7.
Hello,
Today i got my brand new mi8 (from china).
Unluckily, it has some ****ty custom ROM with no actualisation feature. I can't even install offical global rom or unlock bootloader.
So I need to flash my device - and here's the question.
How can I flash my ****ty rom to a offical global rom? as this post says it's forbidden https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/firmware-global-china-stock-firmware-t3818194
So should I flash to a china rom, than unlock bootloader and than install official global/some xiaomi.eu? Any simple solution would be great.
Thanks for help
UPDATE : I found hidden update app and installed global miui 9.6.1.0(OEAMIFD), but I still have ads in MI browser, etc. Will reseting phone to the fabric settings work?
Hi All,
I recently purchased a new Redmi K20 Pro off a friend who by mistake bought what I believe to be a Chinese ROM phone due to opening up apps in Chinese...
I have unlocked the bootloader and am ready to progress to flashing a new rom. However, I have seen in videos and read that you need to flash the correct rom in order not to brick the device. You can create issues by not using the correct vendor rom? I'm wanting to flash a global rom in order to not have a chinese rom with Chinese apps...
What I am hoping to achieve is to flash a global or rom that is in english with google apps ready to go.
I also want to know if I will be able to lock the bootloader once I have flashed the new rom or do I not worry about locking it? I assume if I lock the bootloader, I will be able to use google pay etc?
I have searched and I am unable to find a correct guide that will work for the device I bought...
Can anybody please point me in the right direction with what I need to do in order to get my phone to a global rom where all apps are in English please?

Look here for the fastboot ROM
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/supported/miui/
Choose the fastboot ROM for either European or Global raphael
Use this guide to flash it
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
View the page in desktop mode if viewing on a phone.
IMPORTANT
You must not lock the bootloader. You will brick the phone if you lock the bootloader with any ROM other than Chinese.
The default flash option in the Mi Flash Tool is to lock the bootloader when flashing. You must change this.
In step 5 of the guide make sure you change the flash option to 'clean all' in the Mi Flash Tool before hitting the flash button.
I haven't been in the phone flashing game for a while. I'm not seeing many topics regarding my Xperia 1ii (Docomo version) Because there are locked bootloaders nowadays or something? Would like to flash a global ROM on it but I don't see official TWRP support for it either.
Not receiving the Android 12 updates either even though I should by now. I'm in South East Asia, is my location causing the update not to get pushed over?
using Japaneses model doesn't mean it always locked, i have AU version of xz1 that unlocked and have xz3 global that locked.. but yeah. most Japaneses model are locked. if you are locked. or only want to flash global. there no need to unlock it. or use twrp or other recovery. in fact flashing official rom doesn't even use recovery mode at all. it use download mode(if im not mistaking it)and with tool like xperia Firmware downloader and newflasher. you can flash any official rom to your docomo one.
BUT. REMEMBER!!
1.Japaneses smartphone use special nfc hardware that different than global. your nfc will go bye bye if you flash global rom in there.
2.careful. do research before flashing. xperia devices is not as easy as samsung or xiaomi. 1 mistake can be fatal. if lucky it only bootloop. but if unluck, from software/feature glitch, locked(sim/ubl) or just refuse to detected(A.k.a permanent dead)
i been use xperia devices since z4 era. and trust me it more scare to change official rom on locked devices than swap custom rom or install mod like magisk,etc on unlocked devices even manually modified system file are better than change to global on locked devices,
