    Post Does Chinese version of Mate 20 pro work in other counties

    In regards to your first point; You can view the frequencies that are being used by the phone online (I usually use GSM arena or just a google search) and then compare them with your countries bands (also a quick google away). I am Australian and searched on my carriers website and they had a...

    Post Have this phone ROOT / OEM UNLOCK?

    While I can't say anything that actually matters, I think it might have something to do with possibly breaching the security or reliability of the phone. Regardless of if its your device, if something goes wrong it will look bad for the company.

    Post Have this phone ROOT / OEM UNLOCK?

    Huawei used to give the codes out but stopped around July, if I remember correctly. Now you must use a company like FunkyHuawei which will sell you the code to unlock the phone. You can alternatively buy a rooted version from them as well.

    Can you try and video record it, I find them much easier to follow (less room for error). Also why do we flash the unencrypted zip (and why twice)? Finally, does the micro version of open gapps work the same or... ? Is there anyway to increase system partition.
