Chinese tablette, change/add language, flash to french?
Hi guys,
I'm on the same boat, I bought the device from China for my dad, but it only has Chinese/Korean/English language and a lot of stuff he doesn't want/need.
I would like to flash the tablet to French, but it seems the ROMS are country dependent, and I don't want to brick it just yet
What's my best option to get french on the device?
Any feedback on this will be appreciated!!

Hello,
could you install the Google Play and youTube in your device?
Thank you

SM-T800C (China) is compatible with SM-T800
SM-T805C (China) NO (modem.bin, sboot.bin and system.img you can not flash through Odin). If you want, you can flash this firmware:

Hello Bodivas, so far, thank you very much, but here comes another question, If I flash the firmware in my SM-T800 (bought in China) that you suggest, would I be able to install google play and youtube?
Thanks again.:good:

You'll have the European model with all the services of google working ..
Try to flash this latest firmware for Hong Kong. After the flash, you have to get into recovery mod and do the wipe reset factory.

Hello Bodivas,

You just have to flash the one I posted above and do the reset. Stop.
Firmware Hong Kong is the European firmware (not ė China and contains all the google services) but as a rule are the fastest of those european

I haven't. I am being careful. I am waiting on Bodiva to answer my question. Bodiva if you are seeing this can you please advise

I'm in the UK, bought my Tab S 10.5 from eGlobal Central UK and when it arrived the system software was in Chinese. I was able to change it ok to English and the model number is SM-T800. The Samsung internet app home page is the Samsung Hong Kong site. All Google apps are present and correct and there are no preinstalled Chinese apps. But I can't get Odin to recognise it in download mode. I've tried different cables, different usb sockets, I've even tried it on 2 pc's but no use. Odin does see it on Com port 9 when the tablet is booted up, but doesn't see it at all on the 2nd pc. It connects as an mtp device on both pc's ok.
So even though its an SM-T800 Tab S, it looks like I have no mission of rooting it as Odin doesn't work. I suppose I could return it as I wasn't told in advance that it would be a Chinese one I was buying.

Hi, I used the ROM Bodiva suggested. It works perfect !
The only thing that doesn't work is the 4g connection. it doesn't recognize the SIM card (null / null IMEI). I am still looking for a solution for that. But for the rest the ROM is OK, can easily be flashed through ODIN.

which odin do you use.... I use odin 3.07, but it seems odin 3.09 for galaxy s4 also recognizes the tablet, although I haven't confirmed it actually works. See if this works: go to your tablet's settings, tap general, tap "about device", then tap "build number" 7 times. Now you have developer options. Now tap that and check enable usb-debugging. If you have installed adb, open a command terminal with admin rights and type "adb reboot download" (without the quotationmarks) put your original samsung cable in the top-usb port on the back of your computer, open odin 3.07, and check the connection.

That will be difficult if not impossible until someone can change the bootloader, even in Hong Kong if you tell them you live on
the mainland, they will not sell you a 4G model as it will not work.
One strange thing is that with every ROM ever made, if you for example took the SamsungIME apk and moved it to another device
that was similar, it worked fine, it does not in this, a Hong Kong 805 IME will not even register or be recognized on the 805C. That
is enough to suspect that China does not want you to replace that keyboard, but why? keylogging perhaps.

Hi, what would happen if I would flash an European 805 firmware on the 805C ?

Chinese apps on WW_2.20.40.97 firmware from Asus

Hi all,
I recently received a second hand Z00AD (2GB / 32GB, 1.83Ghz) which I believe was purchased from China (it has a Chinese manual & charger). It was running a WW firmware when I first received it, which OTAed up to 2.20.40.97 (WW) when I got it out of the box.
I wasn't too surprised that the phone came with a lot of Chinese apps built into the firmware - e.g. a Chinese game store, lots of links to Yahoo China & a couple of other Chinese apps - and also defaulted to the Chinese language on a factory reset (but could be changed to English easily enough).
I figured that if I downloaded the latest full version of WW_2.20.40.97 from Asus' website, adb sideloaded it & did a factory reset in Recovery that I would lose all the Chinese apps & perhaps default to English. To my surprise, however, all the Chinese apps remained!
I downloaded the firmware from here:
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
My questions are:
1. Does flashing WW_2.20.40.97 default to the Chinese language & come preloaded with Chinese apps on all devices?
2. If it does, are there official firmwares that do not come with Chinese apps?
3. If it doesn't then why is this happening on my phone & is there a way to modify my device to behave like a worldwide phone without Chinese apps?
4. Is it possible to default the language to English after a factory reset?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Mike

Try to reflash, maybe fix this time.

On a US model, flashing the WW firmware defaults to English and does not have any Chinese apps visible/installed.
You mentioned Z00AD, my US model uses Z00A firmware. Maybe you need to use Z00A instead of Z00AD?

The firmware I pointed to in the post is suited to these phones:
ASUS ZenFone 2=ZE551ML(Z00AD/Z00ADA/Z00ADB/Z00ADC) software Image: V2.20.40.97 for WW SKU only*
I don't think there are other firmwares for the Zenfone 2 on Asus' website? Is your product code also ZE551ML?
Mike

Yes, I have the US release of the ZE551ML (4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, 2.3 GHz)
After looking a bit more closely, it looks like it is actually the Z00AD, not the Z00A. Sorry about that. There must be somewhere else in the phone that identifies itself as a CN model vs WW, I'm guessing.

You should have done factory reset after flashing WW firmware or at least wiped cache and data. If you insist you don't need to wipe you might check if those apps are uninstallable. They could have updated via PlayStore so the system keeps newer downloaded versions as user installed apks.

Huawei MediaPad M2-A01w Wrong ROM Installed

Hi all new to the forum, looks like a great place to get help and support for android tablets and phones.
I have Huawei MediaPad M2-A01w. Great little tablet had it for the last 11 months or so with no problems at all
Yesterday i decided to do a clean install of the firmware and accidentally flashed the chinese rom meaning I have an app call HiApp instead of google play and youtube is the chinese version.
I have tried the western europe firmware (I'm in the UK) and it says Version Check failed. Software install failed. Incompatibilty with current version. Please download the correct update package.
Is there anyway I can recover this unit or is it bricked.
Regards

Hard to look up something. There is a chance going the way I described in my thread about the stock ROM for M2-A01L LTE variant, called dload variant.
But you'd need the appropriate ROM. The current one for your specific device would be M2-A01wV100R001C100B008CUSTC100D001. Unfortunately it is only available on a payed service portal, as are many stock ROMs nowadays.

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!

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.

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,

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
