I don't think it will be possible to flash even an official firmware with a locked bootloader.
then I can give up and keep the phone as it is ... I was waiting for some developer to put a global rom and then pass it on my wiev 20 ... I also know that you have to pay to unlock the bootloader ... and in the end I don't know what suits me ... if there are no alternatives I can only sell it. thank you very much for your reply
Unlock bootloader -> flash OEMINFO -> flash global firmware.
This is real, but time is needed. I think there will soon be a way to make Rebrand
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about buying a chinese version of the mate 20x for cheap, much cheaper than the global version. Was wondering if its possible to buy it and then install the L29 global rom. Is this possible? If so how?
.
Not sure if possible, but i dont recommend to change the original rom.
Appreciate the reply. But since youre not sure, does anyone know if its still possible to do this?
From what I understand (reading this forum), this requires unlocked bootloader and root.

Hi.. thanks for the reply. How do I unlock the bootloader?
.
Buy Chinese version with global rom. It raises price just about 35 to 50 dollars.
My suggestion

But thats the problem I want to avoid. I want to buy the chinese version without having to pay for the global rom so that i can install the global rom myself.
I will save you some trouble. I made the mistake of buying the Chinese version because I assumed the bootloader could be unlocked and the phone could be flashed. The answer to your question is, "no - you cannot root or flash the Mate 20 X as at this time".
Huawei has locked all bootloaders for all their devices and are no longer offering unlock codes. I have been unsuccessful in unlocking my EVR-AL00.
There are a few threads in this forum and there are developers looking for a workaround but there are none at this time.
I wanted to post a quick follow-up on my previous post. The Mate 20 X Chinese version is the first non-root phone I have owned in more than 10+ years. I will say, unlike my Samsung and OnePlus phones I have not found a need for root beyond changing the default launcher. The phone is customized so you can manage DPI settings (in and outside developer mode), auto launch/keep apps running in the background and even includes a good equalizer. If you have any specific questions about the Chinese model of the EVR-AL00 then feel free to PM me. I'm happy to try answering questions.

Hi dogatemycomputer,
Appreciate the heads up. But regarding rooting the mate 20x, there are threads here that show that you can root it and flash twrp. Am I missing something?
.
Yes.
Regarding XDA’s stance on Huawei’s decision to stop bootloader unlocking
Back in April, Huawei’s form to request a bootloader unlock code mysteriously disappeared. Late May, the form returned but with a warning that the service would no longer work after 60 days. As promised, Huawei’s form is no longer available, meaning it’s no longer possible to unlock the bootloader of Huawei or Honor devices. This has obviously been disappointing to many users on our forums, but it’s been especially disappointing for us, the XDA Portal team.
https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-huawei-decision-stop-bootloader-unlocking/amp/
Basically you could unlock the bootloader until May when Huewei decided you could no longer.

If you truly had read and understood threads about this, you'd know that unlocking the bootloader is no longer possible. Huawei shut this down, unfortunately.
I researched this before purchasing, as I too wanted the least expensive version which allowed changing the default launcher. The only solution at this point is a new L29, or a used AL00 that has root. Shame that if we want to change the launcher we're limited to the 6/128 version.

So whats the difference between the L29 and AL00 for someone to use in USA? And did you by chance install Emui 10 beta? If so let me know what you think of it.

1. Broken Google Location History & Sharing
2. No access to EMUI 10 beta
I use the Chinese version and there are some minor differences between the Global and Chinese version but the Chinese version has worked well for me.
Some Google services do not work. The two I have found are OK GOOGLE (always listening) and location sharing via Google Maps.
Outside of these 2 limitations I have not found a difference between the stock Chinese and Global versions. I have been very happy with my Mate 20 X and I have not found a reason to root the phone.

Thanks for your input. I think rooting may be overrated unless you install roms. But even then most roms have issues which convinces me personally to stick with stock.
.
I have no issues with Ok Google or location sharing via Google Maps. My AL00 is on Emui 10.0 & works perfectly, i’m in Europe btw. Of course, the big difference is when factory restoring must install manually the google apps like Play Store, Maps, Google Photos, Chrome, and so on. Otherwise i see no difference between global and chinese version.
solution chinese to global rom
for all those looking for solution to change firmware from Chinese to global, search on Facebook for ministryofsolutions. he can donthe job at minimum costs. had mine changed today, very happy.

Can you change my Huawei mate Xs from Chinese to global? I'd pay you if you can do it
Dear VIVO engineers ,
as you know many of us got Chinese variant of VIVO NEX 3, because we think generally is the best variant cause a lot of reasons.
Now we have problems to use device in normal life because :
1) Google Pay is not licensed so we can't add cards to pay in stores
2) FM Radio is disabled ( meanwhile you have enabled and supported on Malaysian variant of device )
3) Bootloader is heavy closed. We can't root device and we can't fix by ourself Google Pay problem
Please VIVO,
follow your customer suggestions .

Please unlock the bootloader for vivo z1 pro
Nice you sent it to Vivo. Hopefully they will pay attention. At least the bootloader unlocking.
We should all send it.
It is usless they will never add this feature . It is not made for global use ... it is for China market.
For anyone who has a Fitbit -> FitbitPay works. I use it as a workaround for now.
Did this work with the original Vivo Nex?
Maybe magisk can be installed somehow? Fitbit is for smartwatch so another hardware.
I wrote an email to VIVO according firmware flash from 1924A to 1924F.(global).

Have they answered yet? Is it possible to flash global rom to a Nex 3 that has Chinese rom?
Saya ingin membuka bootloader please
Vivo answered to my email. We cannot flash global rom to Chinese rom phone.
Dear vivo user,
Thanks so much for your email and we are sorry for the delay. In order to satisfy the needs of our users from different regions, some of our phones have two versions( Chinese version and Global version). The Chinese version is designed for Chinese Mainland users and has made some changes to meet the Chinese market, which differs much from the global version. Currently, the phones with the Chinese version cannot install the Global version. Your understanding will be highly appreciated.

Honor 9X: "Error: /preas/ xxx not found in/hw_product/hw_oem/STK-L21HN/parent_cust.c
Hello guys!
A few days ago , tried to upgrade the software of my device, manually via microsd card, using the dload method.
I got a softbrick.
I tried many roms for Honor 9X STK-LX1 (C431) but none worked.
After many attempts, i installed the latest official firmware Emui 10 with Android 10 ( STK-L21HN -10.0.0212), and the device is functional now, but with many bugs.
1) The logo screen has change from previus "HONOR 9X" to "HUAWEI".
2) The new rom is installed without a keybord. So It's difficult for me to setup the new rom.
3) In ----> Settings---->telephone information---->the model seems as "unknown " and
4) In----> Settings----->telephone information---->publication number----> "Error: /preas/ xxx not found in/hw_product/hw_oem/STK-L21HN/parent_cust.cfg"
Do you know what these errors mean and how to fix???
Thank you!
Solved
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...fficult-to-t4177819/post83729825#post83729825
With the help of @oslo83, we managed to make the device functional.
Now it works like a charm.
It was not easy at all and oslo83 tried
very much.
I want to thank him for his interest and help.
Hi.
I have exactly the same problem...
I would upgrade my Honor 9x (STK-L21HN 9.1.0.334) to emui 10 (10.0.0.212).
@oslo83: Can you explain to me what I have to do for that or may you help me to do?
Thanks in advance.

Hello can you help me to my Honor 20? its also display in my build number "Error: /preas/xxx not found in /product/hw_oem/L61/parent_cust.cfg" i willing to pay to solve this
I have the same errors with an Huawei P20 Lite (ANE-LX2) region spceas changed to eu via DC-Unlocker
Now is on this firmware:
HUAWEI ANE-LX2 9.1.0.209(C636) YAZILIM ilsasupport.com
- Installed without a keyboard. Solved downloading microsoft swiftkey from appgallery.
- Model is ANE, not ANE-LX2
- Build is: "Error: /preas/ xxx not found in/product/hw_oem/LX1/parent_cust.cfg"
This is not a big problem for me now, because all works ok, is rooted, I can use, call and play well with it. But I'm curious about what is the problem and how to solve it.
Install an other firmware, one which is right for your device's variant hardware.

So, after investigations on device, a chinese base was flashed by offline dload on this branded overseas device.
Here why the problems. Force flashing a correct base for actual branded model and region would fix.

HI friends, I have made a mistake buying iqoo9 from Aliexpress without reading the OS description. I read somewhere that vivo is supposed to be offering the option for owners to switch to funtouch is that true will I be able to do that or was that just a rumor?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
same situation for me. I have bought the IQOO 9 pro PD2172A and I would try to flash PD2172F ROM but I don't want to brick my phone.
I hope there is someone expert who can help.
Thank you
Same situation for me!
Bad news guys I contacted Vivo. Switching is not possible as the Chinese version is made for Chinese audience and won't let you flash funtouch. At this point all I can hope for is to be at least able to access USB debugging and remove vivos bloatware.

Hi mate, can you post us the link please? I would try to convince them to give us the possibility to switch to Global rom. At the end we have spent a lot of money for this flagship and if they don't want to lose customers in the future, they should make us happy in someway.
So there's no single way for us now to be able to flash something different onto it? Nobody tried?
the main problem is to find the original ROM so in case of problems you can revert back.

Unfortunately you can't. They won't even let you use root account to use adb debugging mode to remove their crap bloatware. Unfortunate that an incredible phone like this with amazing specs is locked. I would be happy if they let me at least use adb
Do you think it's possibile at least to flash the Global version over the China version?

No the Chinese phone are branded with different model code even if we assume you manage to get to bootloader which they already have locked and when I asked them they said no. We don't allow bootloader access for phones made for Chinese markets
Traying to find the correct stock software to the Chinese version of Iqoo 9 Pro I found instead software to F model not A. I didn't know the F model does exist at all. Recently Vivo released this model (9 Pro) to India market but I am not convinced it is V2172F. Possibly this software could be downloaded to ours 9 Proses after bootloader unlocked. Am I right?

I don't know about the Indian version I looked for the model number but don't seem to find it. Either way there is no point of that. I already tried to do extract the boot file and attached it to magisk here is the catch you can't run that without bootloader unlocked
If you looking for chiness file, you may find on PAID website, such as ROMDevelopers ETC

Hi Moe990
I am doing the same and building a list of what is safe to remove.
A few weeks ago I removed an APP that disabled my NFC (Google Pay) - I had to factory reset my phone
Have you managed to remove :
- Music and Video players
- Phone / SMS / Contact APP
Thanks
Nah not everything is removable. But I'm glad with what I removed so far
I noticed I cannot google back up my phone. its greyed out ... so annyoing
