Hello @All!
I would like to buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro, but in the large 12/512GB version. This is available, for example, at TradingShenzhen.
But now there is suddenly the following sentence: INFO! NO GOOGLE PLAY STORE POSSIBLE
As firmware is specified: Multi - GE, EN, FR, ES, ...
According to this, it is a European ROM. If I buy in Germany at Amazon the leine 8/256 GB version, then Google Play Store is also included. It can not be that the use of Google Play Store is dependent on the size of the RAM.
TradingShenzhen wrote me on request that it is not possible to flash another ROM on Honor. That would be very strange though. In principle, you can flash another ROM (e.g. European version) when the bootloader is "unlocked". A few years ago I've bought the Huawei Mate 9 in the bigger chinese version. I I flashed the European ROM and that was it! Everthing worked without any issues.
I find all this somehow strange and would be grateful if someone here could please enlighten me.
Another question in this context: I noticed that the European versions of Chinese smartphones only in smaller memory variants. The Chinese devices have up to twice as much memory as the European ones. What is the reason?
Where can I buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro 12/512GB, where also the Google Apps work?
Somewhere I have now also read that the Chinese version has no GSM? Does this mean that SMS is no longer possible?
Thanks a lot!
Best,

At China, phone version is AN10 no GSM/google service ; but you could buy an asian international version NX9 at Hong Kong.

My friend has a Samsung GT-N7108 that he bought here in China. He wanted me to install Google Play on it so he could install more apps. I transferred the .APK file to his phone, installed, and GP won't work. Surprise! So, we have to flash a new ROM to his phone. Only 1 problem - it's the 7108 which is apparently specific to the Chinese domestic market. I tell my friends to bring me when they shop for phones...but noooo, they never call me and buy crap phones like this.
Seeing as this phone is different than other phones in its line, which ROMs are safe to flash? I really don't want to brick my friend's phone...
The N7108 has a different radio unit configured to use China's own version of HSPA called TD-HSPA, which uses TD-SCDMA rather than the WCDMA the rest of the world uses for HSPA.
As a result, N7100/N7105 roms won't even work/boot on an N7108.
Sent from my GT-N7100
Are there any replacement ROMs, anywhere?
Well, actually, I suppose any hackers would be Chinese, and thus the instructions, etc. would be all in Chinese. Oh well, my dumb friend's fault for buying without doing any research first.
Hello,
is there an any custom rom for this device with google play and other european language ?
Thank's
Anyone found a ROM for this thing?
pleas assist to root gt-n7108
Hi everyone
I'm waiting for the arrival of my Nova 2 Pic al00 but I have some questions that I don't find the answer so easily....sooooo here I come:
1 - What is the differences between CN version and European version?
2 - What is the differences between International Version and Global version?
3 - I know that the version that I bought will come with International version and with some app from the store...what if I make a reset to the phone....I will lose the Play Store but will get rid of all the app from the store...and after that? Is it easy to get back the phone to work with google apps?
4 - I read that some users prefer to keep the CN version than to make a debranding....Why?
5 - Since I m in Europe, will I get OTA updates for a CN version?
I know that's a lot of questions....SORRY !!
Thanks

good question ...
At first I looked only for European sellers for the 2 years of guarantee.
Any of those whom I questioned (eBay, amazon, groove inc) none of these sellers was able to certify me that the model which it sold was a "European" model.
So i gave up, ... now I'm waiting for a good deal on P10 (i'm sure that in can get one for about 350 € pretty soon
:laugh:
Is it OK to buy the Chinese version or should I wait for global version?
my experience from p20 pro- i have both chinese and global and the difference for USA is no location sharing among family/friends in google maps, it is a google operational issue, everything else the same. The chinese one has esim, more huawei apps, baidu, etc.

NO! never get chinese versioon unless u dont live in china !
had Honor note 10 and had to sell it ! google isn't supported 100% u defo need global if u are in usa !
Hi, i just spend days researching on the lenovo p11, and ended realizing that i should spend a little more and buy the xiaomi.
I'm from Israel. i use google apps + i want the firmware to be in English (i use Hebrew in apps).
I plan to buy in aliexpress. please advise, what are the differences between the Chinese and global rom versions on the mipad 5 chinese devices that are sold in aliexpress?
Did you ever find out info for this?
I cannot find IQoo 9 Pro to be available for sale in UK or US with Funtouch OS. Any site that sells it to UK or US (like AliExpress) is only selling the Origin OS Version, is there any way I can get my hands on the funtouch OS version?
If I buy the Origin OS version, can I then root it and install Funtouch OS on top of it?
No you cannot migrate from origin to fun touch.
Is there anywhere we can buy the Funtouch OS version in UK or US?
Try Amazon India.
Amazon India doesn't deliver to UK or US.
It asks for Indian pin code to deliver.
maybe try to find a reliable Online Mobile phone seller in India but it is risky...

Any recommendations for online sellers who ship outside of India?
How did you get this device shipped to Australia?
mine is Origin and I bought it on Aliexpress.
I wouldn't recomment Origin OS.
Thanks for the response, I am also planning on buying this phone from AliExpress.
What exactly is wrong with Origin OS? Does it pass safety net? Are you able to use Google pay with it?
The main drawbacks I have heard was that Android Auto doesn't work, but I have never used Android Auto, so that is not an issue for me.
So ... A lot of things are annoying :
- tons of china apps (some can be removed using abd, many can't be)
- no google assistant voice control. Annoying when you drive and wanna make a call or send a text
- can't force change the SMS and phone app.
- Whatsapp selfies don't work.
- can't google back up your phone.
- and as you know android auto
And tons more i don't recall.
Does Google Pay / Safety net work?
That would be the major dealbreaker for me.
Yes you can install Google Play.
Not sure about safety net work ...
"Google Pay" not Google Play, Pay is what you use to pay using NFC with your saved credit cards from your phone.
I believe Safety net is required for Google Pay to work, so they are both interlinked.
My bad. Yes they both work. Pay and play.
Thanks for confirming that, I really want to have Google Pay working on my mobile phone.
It looks like there is no way to buy the Funtouch OS version in UK or US, so I would have to buy the Origin OS version.
If you really truly want this phone. I am happy with it tbh ... but the amount of chinese stuff on it that cant be ADB removed and some missing core Android functions are a killer.
I do use Android Auto daily and i have to use my old S8+ tethering via BT with my IQ 9P to be able to get navigation. Its so annoying !
There is a iqoo 9 pro with funtouch os on ebay, imported from India
Hello friends, I wonder if this will work on IQOO 9 Pro as they are very similar phones:
