[Q] So I have the B508 system...but I need the international version!

Hello! I bought a P6 very recently, but it turns out that its stock system is based on the Chinese local store, not Google Store! This is a very big problem as I am a Canadian user, and I have many apps and personal information that's associated with my Google account.
The current version of my p6 is B508 after the kitkat update. So can anyone please shed some light on how I can replace it with an international rom? I see so many versions flying around and I don't know where to start anymore...step by step guidance would be greatly appreciated, as I'm a noob with custom roms.
Thank you all in advance!

I tried to boot into the bootloader by both methods (pressing volume down + power button, and from the command line), but both method got me stuck on the white screen with orange WO logo. Is this a common problem? How do I get around it?
ie. The device shows up when i go adb devices, so this part is fine at least.

Changing from b508 is little irritating process, but it's possible ,, first you've to downgrade to b132 ,,,then you can upgrade to kit Kat versions,,,, directly you can't change from b508 to international kit Kat versions,,

I find B508 is way better than international kitkat roms. For google play, go to the Huawei app store app and then search for google play and install it. or alternately download google play apk file and install it.

I believe that "white screen with orange WO logo" it's in your case a bootloader mode so type "fastboot flash recovery {here type your stock recovery file name.img} after that, force update.app (P6 Unicom EMUI2.0) (power and both volumes) make sure you got update.app in sd/dload folder and then just update to B132.
Your recovery file should be placed in adb folder

So I decided to give fate a shot, and went straight with your method (started copying the first .app file to the SD and update it). It worked! So it seems like my device's bootloader was already unlocked? Anyways, I followed your method seeing that the first step was successful, and now I have the international kitkat with full working Google Store! My deepest gratitude to all of you!
@warea: I actually had the Google Play services installed, but it would simply crash on me after I entered my account, just before the policy page showed up. I reset the phone multiple times, went with all the methods I could find about getting Google Play to work with the Chinese version, but I couldn't...Which makes sense, because it's likely forcefully blocked to avoid conflict on interest. That's my guess though!

Uhmm That's weird, I have no problems with google services at all. I've changed official roms B132, B125, B510, B512. B634 a multiple times and Google always works. Which Rom you are running now? In my case B132 is best one, I will wait for another KitKat release as for now all KitKat seems to be a little sluggish for me.

Hi.
I'm in similar situation as kesun (OP) was: I'm running B508 right now and I want to install the international version B512. Google Play Store was installed, but it also crashes everytime I open it and it can't be fixed with any of the suggestions found online (downloading newer version, updating Google Play Services, clearind data and cache, etc.)
I know that in order to install B512 I have to first install B132, but I recently discovered that the bootloader in my phone is locked, does that prevent me to doing this? If so, how do I unlock it?
Thank you all in advance.

Can anyone please give me a hand here? I've been told that the bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked to install official firmware, so I gave it a try.
The methods described here involve flashing EMUI 2.0 (which I already have, do I need to flash it again?, can I do that with bootloader locked?), then installing the B132 firmware and them the B512.
I encountered a problem when installing B132 via local update. It says "Huawei SD card update failed", then it does a couple of steps and gives a big FAILED.
I remind you the my bootloader is locked. I suspect this is the problem. I'm currently running 4.4.2 with B508.

Try the suggested method and install the emui 2.0 even though you already have it, because I know few months ago people had problem reverting back to jb without the update. Then you can try to install the B132.

Thank you. I'll try that then.

There is a downgrade update.app for EMUI 2.0 just search here on XDA otherwise you will not be able to downgrade.

Thank you, taaeem. Would hat cause the error I described ("Huawei SD card update FAIL")? or there could be other reasons for that?

Yes this would cause such a error message, there could be a different problem but I don't think that.

Thanks again, mate.
EDIT @taaeem, sorry for the hassle, but I have a few more doubts.
Is it important which version of the firmware and which Android version i'm coming from? I'm running B508 right now, which is a KitKat firmware. Can I just flash a 4.2 firmware (B132) from a 4.4 firmware? I've seen many post talking about flashing some other stock recovery in order to being able to go from B50x to B132 and then to B512. Do I need to have bootloader unlocked for this? If you culd just go through the steps quickly I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks in advance

No need of other stock recovery just download the downgrade update.app and put it on your dload folder and update. Than put B132 update.app in the dload folder IMPORTANT delete the other file before.
And then update again and that should work.

All done!

Will say Update FAILED if USB cable is plugged in, must UNPLUG usb cable for stock recovery to update successfully.

G3-D855 trying to upgrade from 4.4.2, but it refuses no matter what.

Hi all.
I bought a used LG G3, where the guy said this phone had been used to pass around reviewers, so I don't know if this has any factor as to why I'm having issues.
So, issue is, I'm on 4.4.2 atm, and want to upgrade to at least 5, and possibly 6 if this is possible (which it seems to be from what I've seen around the web.) I tried to do it via the phone first, through the built-in update center (current version is V10g-EUR-XX) It sees there is an update for the phone, which I then select to download and install. It then tells me it will download it, and shows the object under my notifications. But then it simply says Cannot download, and just stalls at this point. I've tried both options with wifi only, and over 2g/3g as well.
(At this point I added some screenshots I took, but can't add them, as external links are not allowed for the first 10 posts)
I then tried to go through the LG PC suite, installed the USB drivers etc. When checking for updates, it simply says "Cannot Proceed Upgrade. LG PC Suite upgrades unavailable on this phone."
Where do I go from here? Can I manually update it through the flashtool 2014, or am I looking at rooting this phone, to get be able to upgrade it?
In advance, thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Dozer.

Honor 7X EMUI 8 Oreo Download Link

Hi guys,
I'm using Honor 7x BND-AL10C675 (Indian). I wanted to get back to stock as emui 8 stable rolled out. I was running emui 8 beta and I was stuck so I flashed the stock recovery, re locked bootloader, and downloaded the EMUI 8 update.app file from "Huawei firmware finder". Now, I created the "dload" folder in sd card and pressing both volume buttons and power button, I tried to install the firmware.
It says "The update failed" at 5% and I tried it many times. Maybe it's a mismatch or incompatible. Now, I can't go back to my twrp backup as stock recovery was installed. I can't flash recovery or rom using fastboot as it requires unlocked bootloader. To unlock bootloader, I need to enable "OEM UNLOCK" in settings and I can't boot into system as everything is wiped when I relocked the bootloader. So I'm basically stuck.
The only things I can do now is to install the stock firmware using the dload method. However, I need the right update.app file so I can install using install the firmware. I can't use Nougat file as I guess we can't go back to Nougat from Oreo. So I need EMUI 8 firmware BND AL10C675.
I can't find it anywhere, so Could someone miraculously post a download link or the file here? What should I be doing?

Thats' so fast!! I really thank you for coming at rescue for a fellow XDA member. Thanks for the link and I couldn't find the link myself really. Do you have any idea which file I should download? there is one full Ota MF and other two are just Ota MF. Maybe full Ota mf? I guess I downloaded the firmware from the app from these guys or website only on my android phone. I will do it now on my laptop now. Let's hope it works!! Thanks again

I'm not positive on the correct DLOAD method
I think you extract the update.zip to dload folder on sdcard.
The whole zip package, not just the update.app

I followed all the steps and I guess it's more complicated for me. I was stuck with an older build number although I changed different ROMS. Maybe because of that the update doesn't authenticate and fails to install the firmware. I don't know but also it maybe that the firmware isn't for my exact model. I just don't know and my phone is as good as bricked and I"m taking it to service centre.
What's more hurting is that, I Locked myself out of all the options. I mean I have the bootloader unlock code, Twrp backup but I just went through a one way route so confidently that it would work and I locked bootloader, flashed stock recovery. It's such a shame that HUAWEI DOESN'T RELEASE THE STOCK FIRMWARE EVEN AFTER ALMOST 6 MONTHS OF THE HONOR 7X RELEASE. If they had the stock firmware available just like Xiaomi, I wouldn't have had all this trouble.
I don't know why no one raises the voice. I really hate Huawei for this and I'll make sure I won't recommend these phones to anyone.

Model BND-AL10 No system update- how to manually update

Dear all,
This is my first post and I have bought a honor 7x on ebay and I noticed after a few months that I cannot update the phone as there is no system update button. I contacted the seller but ofcourse he was not of any help.
From what I understood( correct me if i'm wrong), the seller installed a custom firmware on the phone so that there is no chinese on the phone. but with these custom firmware, there is no updates. I also get a message upon restart( please find the picture below)
I would like to update the phone . is it possible to update the phone or roll back to stock firmware so I can be notified of updates.
Please find the necessary attachment. Please let me know what I can do as I cannot access my mobile network section( hence cannot switch on roaming) .
i live in Europe and use english as phone language.

ok so you get the warning message, so bootloader is unlocked. Means you should be able to modify it.
your model is "BND-AL10" your region is "C00"
there are many full roms available for this model.

you should be able to install almost any of them through the firmware finder app search play store--- if you have google play installed

Thank you for your quick response.
I install the firmware finder on the play store but I couldn't trigger the update as there is no update button on the settings system.
Even though I do not have the update option in my settings, I can follow instructions to update the phone manually through the computer. If i understood correctly, I can follow these instruction: appuals.com/manually-update-honor-7x-al-10-firmware/
Is it possible to install another firmware on the phone so that I have the update option and also the mobile network section( hence cannot switch on roaming). I travel a lot and the data roaming is important for me.
I am completely new to this as I was an apple user, hence still discovering android possibilities

don't get a bad idea of android based on this device. It has way more specific weirdness about it than any other android I have had.
There is way to change to other area firmware, but do not try that yet. Your device is missing stuff , probably because previous owner deleted it, not because to version it is.
download fullOTA files for your devices listed model/ region and use HWOTA to install.

don't get a bad idea of android based on this device. It has way more specific weirdness about it than any other android I have had.
There is way to change to other area firmware, but do not try that yet. Your device is missing stuff , probably because previous owner deleted it, not because to version it is.
download fullOTA files for your devices listed model/ region and use HWOTA to install.[/QUOTE]
Hello, I did the update via the HiSuite of Huawei. I got the notifications on the windows programs. I did 2 update ( one for the system and the other one was the emui)
Now I cannot open google play or any google applications(maps, gmail, etc)
do you know how I can remedy that?
My emui version is 8.0.0
android version 8.0.0
It is a bit frustrating
my google play version is Google Play Store 10.8.32-all [0] [PR] 205344279 (240-480dpi) (Android 4.1+) 5 WHICH I updated through the Hisuite Update and downloaded this apk.

12.5 update on QGGMIXM

So, this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I have my phone for almost two years now, and it used to get the updates the right way, until the 12.0.7, then it just stopped getting any updates, when I checked it says "no updates avaliable".
Searching yesterday, I manage to update it to 12.0.8 by changing the device region to India, but it just stopped there, I can't update to 12.5 or further.
While searching i've seen that the devices different from QGGMIXM (which mine is), like RGGMIXM already got the updates.
I even tried to install the 12.5 update (for RGGMIXM) manually and it said it could not verify the update.
Is there any way to change QGGMIXM to RGGMIXM or to get the update without changing it? Any help are appreciated

1/ Just tried vpn, didn't work
2/ Neither downgrading or upgrading worked, downgrading says it's unable to downgrade and tried to upgrade says it couldn't verify the update
3/ I haven't tried this yet, but I'm guessing it'll be the only way to update it.
