Hi, there is no separate thread for Chinese variant of 8x max phone. Not even for any variant of 8x max. So i am starting this thread for this device. Everyone is requested to contribute towards this nice device.

And HCU-Client reads bootloader's unlock code of Honor 8x Max aka Huawei Enjoy Max / Y Max / ChangXiang Max
which is great !

But (Huawei) Honor 8x are JSN Johnson device with Kirin.
And Honor 8x Max, Huawei Enjoy Max / Y Max / ChangXiang Max are, I think, ARE/ARS Ares device with Qualcomm ;
So for this a whole new device section would be needed.

Huawei ChangXiang Max ARS-AL00

Hi, I bought Huawei ChangXiang Max ARS-AL00 that has Chinese ROM and EMUI 9 bans Google service completely. Is there a way to change it to global ROM?

I realized that outside China, they are selling the equivalent Huawei Enjoy Max / Y Max. I assume that should be one.

Many thanks

hcu-client / hde-tool / sigkill windows app all support reading bootloader's unlock code on Ares Snapdragon devices (ARE- and ARS-).

That shall cost like 4usd to do it yourself.

Yes, there should be as chinese sellers do it since release.

I guess you could
unlock bootloader,
install a *not yet public as not yet tested* emui8 Snapdragon's nocheck-recovery (kirin's won't work),
rebrand with oeminfo executable binary ran from adb shell (oeminfo binary not reported yet working on Snapdragon),
then do a perfect HWOTA flash with new firmware and same region.

This is dangerous as no one reported trying it (yet).
Once with your own oeminfo rebranded to new region not chinese, that will raise up oem-frp lock as locked. Which would be a problem if you end up with a new stock recovery not of the region of your new device's oeminfo.

Please, can you describe how you managed to unlock the bootloader.

kind regards
Hcu-client.com 's app works to read* bootloader unlock code on Honor8xMax and its variants ARS- and ARE-.
It will cost you 4€ to use it yourself to do that.

*(In fact, hcu-client does not read orignal code, but use an exploit to set-up a new custom one.)

It does.
At least when used on emui8 firmware.

If you tryed it when on emui8 : You just did it wrong.
If tou tryed when on emui9 : Rollback to emui8 with hisuite before using hcu-client.
