Hi everyone,
I just bought a Honor 9 STF-AL00, build: STF-AL00C00B201.
As it is the chinese version, can anyone tell me the difference between it and the european version? Is it only software?
I would like to know if I can stay with the chinese version r if it is necessary to install the european firmware, because i read that some users bricked their phones when rebranding from chinese to european.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, i'm on STF-AL00 rebranded to STF-L09C432.
If you want we can compare.
Can you ota update your C00 or you need a chinese simcard or chinese wifi to do so?

Hi! thanx!
I've been notified of an update to STF-AL00 8.0.0.336 (C00) few days ago. I did not update yet because I was not sure if it would be possible to rebrand it after that.
I've also installed GMS yesterday from a chinese site. I did not log in my gmail account yet.
Which choice is better: rebrand or stay under the chinese version?
Rebranding from chinese to european ;
HUAWEI THEME STORE
Pros:
-access to chinese region huawei themes and wallpaper database. There is a lot more of themes in chinese store than on 'balance' europeean store. But on chinese store, some of these extra themes are sold.
Cons:
-may need a chinese huawei account which need a chinese +86 phone number to validate and use a chinese huawei account.

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.
hello to all guys and good evening, I sincerely hope you can give me an answer to my question. I have a vivo x50 pro Chinese stock version where, however, the Italian language and Google services are already present, the only thing that bothers me are all those settings on the notifications that sometimes go sometimes no ... mystery. now i was wondering since the vivo x51 is practically a vivo x50 pro in global version could you put the global stock rom on my china version? risk something? thank you all

let us know how it goes if you go ahead and changed your rom . i am on the South African operator branded rom and i'd like to switch to a non branded rom ( get rid of the operator wallpaper and other stuff)
Any news about this subject ??
Hi all
Does Google pay work on this phone?
Bludiode sell the phone with global ROM, will Google pay work on this?
Thanks
Dan
Both of CN and CN flashed with global will work with google pay.
Using CN version in Russia, Google pay ok.
