[Q] other country rom on e8

Hello guys!
I am new to android world.I just bought this E8 from China and its the China Unicom version of E8 known as M8SW.There are many chinese apps on the phone and also it doesnt let me take cloud backup of the device as it asks for some chinese weibo account to sign in or create new account.The same phone has been launched in India and some other countries with the model code M8SD.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge,I am just curious can i flash indian or any other country rom like singapore on it which supports english as main default language.I dont wanna install custom rom on my phone and somehow wanna stay with stock rom but from some other country.
Also if i flash some other country rom on it would it be a problem with frquencies my current rom supports and frequencies what indian rom supports.i mean i dont want any hardware issue after i flash indian rom on to my e8.
After i flash indian rom would the ota updates happen or no.
Finally where I can get Indian stock rom for e8.
Thanks in advance.
Harman

Hello, i own also a HTC ONE E8 DUAL SIM (M8SW) with the China ROM on it. This ROM has not the Possibility to UPDATE the Android, is missing this Point in the options Menu. Could you tell me someone where ich can Download another Country ROM who works this OTA function?? Maybe INDIAN oder better another EUROPEAN version. SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP HERE?
THANKS

I would say you have to unlock bootloader (1), go s-off (2), change CID (3), flash international stock ROM and possibly lock the bootloader to get OTA updates. How it's done is explained in several threads here.
One of my own posts containing information on 1, 2 & 3:
I finaly managed to get dutch feeds in Blinkfeed.
What I did:
1. unlock the phone (see www.htcdev.com)
2. flash TWRP and rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...luded-t2819571)
3. gain s-off (http://theroot.ninja/)
4. write Super CID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317536)
5. modify build.prop (you can find build.prop in "/system"). Set ro.product.locale.language=nl & ro.product.locale.region=NL (I found these records twice in build.prop and I changed both)
6. go to play store, remove Blinkfeed and then reinstall Blinkfeed.
I now have local news and/or feeds in dutch on my HTC One E8 (m8sw), you can probably get them in any language you like.

thanks for the information
i have try to change the ro.product.language and region to en GB , but after reboot, it resumed to zh, CN ....
i just want to change the blinkfeed to hk or tw source..... any idea? ^_^

I'm pretty sure that you are still s-on then...
S-on prevents you from making changes to system.

any success?
Hello.. any success? I am also in same situation.. have M8SW, and need other country ROM.
So I can get local blinkfeed, and language support. Though I have changed language to English, some pop-ups still come in Chinese.. guess system related messages.. and default market is not google play, but gives option of either HTC market place /game center.. when I get reminders about app updates. So when I open Google play and then update apps from menu, it works fine.

it seems that it worked on my htc one e8 m8sw with lollypop

Heelp updating new Honor 6+ PE-TL10 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 (3UK)

Hi
I have purchased the Honor 6+ from 3 UK.
Currently my installed rom is as folows:
Model Number PE-TL10
Build Number PE-TL10V100R001C900B141
Android Version 4.4.2
Custom Version CUSTC432D141
Fully Stock / Unrooted
I am looking to upgrade to 4.4.4 stock unrooted.
I have tried the B160 update from this page http://www.needrom.com/download/honor-6-4g-pe-tl10/ but the update always fails.
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong or the file I should be using? Also this pages says that Gapps are not incleded, does that mean I have to root in order to flash Gapps through a custom recovery?
Thanks

All honor 6 and 6+ stock roms are based on android 4.4.2.
You dont need to root to install gapps, just install the apks

Sorry of the confusion, that page lists the rom as "official Update" and "Android Version 4.4.4" and says to flash through the huawei update app on the phone.
Does that mean the only 4.4.4 woudl be a custom rom that rrequires a custom recovery?

Yes but I don't think that there is any custom rom for the Honor 6 plus. For the honor 6 there is an ufficial cm11 but it miss some basic features like dual sim support.

International ROM

Not to hijack the thread, but I would be interested in getting an International ROM like you seem to have.. I have the Chinese version, which do not allow me to join Huawei cloud, and pops up messages in Chinese now and then... If the ROM is not tied up to 3UK in anyway, that is.
I have the latest build PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B173

Seems my answer didnt get posted:
If you e.g. Open HiVoice, charachters are English & Chinese, so I guess this app are of no use, voice command I guess.. Most annoying is pop-ups warning me of backups. Since I'm not allowed to use Huawei Cloud+, it's of no use( "service unavailable in your country"). Phone is set to Norwegian language, and most apps is in Norwegian, some in English. I use other clouds for backup, but the 6+ defaults to HCloud+.
Some themes use Chinese also..
Small things that are annoying...especially when the phone is released in Europe now...

Did you manage to find any ROMS which worked on the 3uk version. As i could not find the orginal rom ( PE-TL10V100R001C900B141) anywhere to download I have not risked flashing using a ROM not based for this phone.

Hey Jusumgeezer
Did you solve the problem with a local update Honor 6+

I have a feeling the rom we have on our 3uk handests are specific for 3. ......maybe i am wrong. Would be good to se if someone has better knowledge that I do.

I bought my 6 plus from Amazon UK not 3 and I have the same versions as you, so not specific to 3. Hope this helps!

Interesting. Have you managed to load a diferent rom on to it yet success? and if yes which one?

Still no joy with updating yet. I have a feeling that the page I quoted is actually showing roms for the 6 not the 6+ that's why they won't work

NO. The page you quoted is correct. I have a feeling that our "European" models need specific ROMs for them. Which is annoying. ANy one had any luck yet?

Dont't work for me
I have trying all ways too update, no one work.
This way works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/development/guide-to-stock-rom-method-t3099261
ore use multi-tool and use the unbrick option.
but the Sim card is not detected and updates also do not work and my phone keep restarting.
I suspect that the PE-TL10 partitioning is different divided than in the Chinese PE-TL10.

I think this has happened just after unlocking the bootloader and the device may have been trying to format itself but can't find the stock recovery to do so.
The Service Center guys were not able to detect whether my deviced was unlocked or not. So they try repairing, cant repair and changed my Mobo with New One.

Interesting - IMO it's the same b535 that now comes with OTA if rebranded to AL10c00b528
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77949951&postcount=860
Was there a particular reason (K-Settings or something) that you rooted with SuperSU, not Magisk
How did you solve Mobile network - does it work with 4G and in case of dual SIM L19, do both SIMs work
TWRP version you are using, does it support encryption, ie, can it access Data partition and Internal memory
Have you tried to install Viper4Android

Is not problem install magisk
My operator dont support 4G, but 3G working on both slots.
TWRP is not support encryption.
I try install dolby atmos - negative)
EVA-AL/TL/CL/DL, all is chinese version.

@rambik33
Hi
Can you please share the oeminfo tools with Download Link?
I would like to take a look at it. I wonder how it is possible to have a mobile network despite rebranding.
You know maybe, I made this Thread here, and everything is working so far: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849/
BTW: The TWRP we are using is better than the one from Developer MT (and it is not their own, because they "kanged" it from Pretoriano80 from another device)
Thanks!

Question - you wrote in first Post "I have EVA-L09" - but if 3G is working on both slots, you perhaps have EVA-L19 ?

K-Settings zip was never released for installation.
K-Settings are always included in a complete Rom, which is made by KangV.
I am the only one Person, which is really in official contact with him - and he included the KangV-Settings into the European Roms what I have released.
On MagicRainbow (last version I think) I was able to find out and extract these settings and put it in an extra flashable zip file, so Users have the choise to decide if they would like to have it or not.
This is not anymore possible on Oreo. Oreo does not allow to flash modified SystemUI or Framework files afterwards.
If KangV Settings, they must be included.
It seems to me you cannot wait until a new (good) MR Rom will be released for Oreo together with his Settings. → no problem. You can install his Rom over b535.

Can I flash global P40Pro+ with Chinese firmware (ELS-N39 -> ELS-AN10) ?

The reason for this question would be to have call recorder working. Reportedly feature exists on Chinese firmware but doesn't exist on UK/EU/Global one ...
1) Would it work using Huawei Hi Suite proxy ?
2) Would finally call recording work with this change ?
Alternatively,
3) Can I extract HwCallRecorder from Chinese ROM and "adb install ...." it into global one ??
Thanks experts

Don't do that or you brick your phone .

It won't, it's just an APK?

I said about his idea to flash chinese fw to global version not an apk , anyway installing APK wont do anything.

Take a look at this thread. I haven't tested it yet but people report that it works.
