Honor 7x BND-AL00 - Switch to international firmware

Hello,
I can't find an up-to-date guide to switch from chinese firmware to international firmware. The problem I'm facing is that my booloader is locked and Huawei don't permit anymore to unlock it.
So, how can I swith to international firmware? Is still possible?
Thank you,
bye

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

[ Open Letter to VIVO ] Enable FM Radio - Google Pay - Bootloader Unlock

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).

I can root in my device in vivo y15

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

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

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 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.

It's about upgrading to a correct LGRPx base for your device, while upgrading correct emui10 cust and preload.

help me with my honor 20 china
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.

Question I bought Chinese version of IQOO9 and want to switch to Funtouch OS

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.

Hi there,
I've got 9 Pro version and I am interested too. is it possible to unlock bootloader? Developer options are very limited - most of functions are grayed.

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

Quick update I managed to remove a lot of vivos bloatware, not all but most of them using adb appcontrol just wanted to leave this here in case someone may find use of this info

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
