Hello there!
I bought a Huawei Honor 5x from an Australian website (I'm currently living in NZ). When I got my phone, I noticed the box/instructions were in chinese. When I turn the phone on, it was the same thing. I tried to change the language but there were some sections like logs from update and some menus they were in chinese. I tried to change the firmware but it didnt work (probably because my model is KIW-TL00 and I downloaded a different firmware). Now, a stupid question: there is a way to change the model of the phone to be able to install a US firmware? and if it's not possible, there is a way to change the firmware to a english version?
Thanks in advance!

Can you run the script that is located here and post your results
I have the same problem and question. I bought one of these and it turned out to be the Chinese version. Even after changing the Android language to english there are still many chinese messsages. Any advice how to load a different firmware, or at least change all the Huawei messages to english? Thanks.

I have got the same phone here in Czech republic with Czech language on board. So it seems that yours is from distribution for other countries.
Did you try Custom Locale from Google Play Store?
Yes, it should be some EU distribution, but i haven´t entered the sim card yet. GF has to go to carrier for cutting the SIMcard to microSIM
When the sim card is entered, the phone should set itself somehow by the region of the simcard. If this won´t help, i will try manualy set by #country code#. Today i founded code for my country finally.
so it doens´t work, the custom locale only could set keyboard to "czech" but settings and everything is in english, country code "works" the same way
when i root the phone, can i install there any czech localizated system or FW even if its EU distribution ?
thanks a lot
Hi, everyone,
i bought the Huawei Honor 9 chinese version (STF-AL00), is it possible to change the chinese version by the european version (STF-L09) through only FirmwareFinder (FF) Software ?
I'm asking that, because i saw a tutorial from someone, where he changed the chinese to european ROM just using the FF software. Basically, in FF, after the proxy configurations, when you search for a model to update, you change the model name for an european model (STF-L09...) and, after that, when you go to update option from device and ask for updates, the newest ROM (STF-L09...) will be available, so just confirm to install and reboot.
The procedure above really works ? I'm asking that because this procedure was done in other Huawei device, and not Honor 9.
I'm not with the device yet, not arrived from China.
I want to do so. Some Phonefixer on Taobao said they can do that but it is a little expensive（for me and other Chinese）.It costs 190 yuan to do that.

Just follow the link above and it should work.
Sent from my Honor 8 Pro using XDA Labs
Could that possibly brick your device? Seeing as the Chinese version of the Honor 9 and the EU version use slightly different hardware?

Ok. Let me be specific. The Phone is in Chinese Language (default system language). Can any one point me out which icons I should click (in Chinese) or the location of the menu, specific menu item #, so that I can change the language without having to learn Chinese or find someone who knows Chinese. I happened to enter somewhere where I can change the keyboard somehow, but I have no idea where the "Language and Settings" is (in Chinese).
Best Regards,
In setting go for the last one enter it than the third it's language enter and now the first one is to change language
On the Mate 10 - settings>bottom icon>3rd icon>1st icon>bottom icon>then select language
Hey guys. Im interested to know what restrictions you have on your Chinese Mate 10 pro’s. Its my understanding that google play no longer works. Could you let me know what if any issues you have faced with the Chinese firmware.
Regards

Since Huawei stopped providing bootloader codes , it could be done only by some paid services, search in google
Hi can any one help just got this phone and did not know it was Chinese version. Is there any way I can change it in to European version or near as. Every thing is in Chinese and I don't seem to be able to install google or firefox unless its in Chinese. I have changed language to English and have key pad in English. But it wont let me download google firefox to install. Any help would be well and truly appreciated .
Look around in this forum and you can find ways to rebrand this phone to European or whatever.
Hi All,
I'm sorry to bother you all, but I really need you help. I live in Morocco and I bought a new Oppo R17 Pro from Aliexpress, I thought it was a global version, but I once I got my hands on it, I realised that the model is PBDM00 which is a Chineese model according to google and the tons of bloatware installed on the phone . I want to install the global firmware CPH1879 with international rom.
I attached 2 images showing all the details you might need to give a hand.
Could you please inform me on how to do that? I really need your help guys. Thank you so much
You're probably better off on the Chinese version. The latest Android 10 update for R17 Pro just came out a few days ago. It is only available for PBDM00 and PBDT00 variants (both Chinese). I'm on CPH1877 and don't have the Android 10 update yet.
@sghir ziane
The mentioned tons of bloatware installed aren't part of device's ROM: they are either installed as user apps or system apps / system-privileged apps and can all get deinstalled / frozen by you.

i think when you donde it you can install any firmware
i got my oppo r17(pbem00) BL unlocked but i could not do anything after that since we don't have the suitable twrp and you will get stuck in the username and password of the msm download tools in the stock rom files.
