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.
I rollback to emui8, 8.2 to be exact , the only possibility I have.
Connected to hcu client, info phone is showed.
unlock bootloader command.....phone not found. !

it does not work.

kind regards

You're just not using hcu-client the right way...
Device should be in 'manufacture mode' for 'read bootloader code' option to work :D ...
All is written on hcu-client screen on how to put device in manufacture mode...

Unlock and new firmware

I unlocked the chinese enjoy max ARS-Al00.
installed twrp.
no problems so far.
But I can not install a new firmware.
tried all I can find, none worked.
always zip signature verification failed.
tried without the zip signature verification, does not work either.
Now I only have twrp.
who knows how to handle this phone and with which firmware.?

thnx
kind regards

I have also managed to unlock it using hcu and $4.

But still can't find some european or non-chinese ROM.

Any hint would be appreciated.

You could rebrand ARE-AL00 / ARE-TL00 to ARS-L22 .
They are All ARES /ARE /ARS devices. (Honor8x Max / Huawei Y Max / Honor Changxiang Max)

@andonen Trust @geogsm_1 about that.
He got better experience on that.

So far I can tell that chinese sellers achieve it on ARE-TL00 (I will double check its SD6xx).

I can also tell there is a not released yet emui SD nocheck-recovery, that just need testing but who'll help HWOTA/HWOUC in a rebrand process.
@andonen Maybe better to not try it yourself if you are not confident enough, or woryed of a brick.
@andonen rooting your AL00 and patching safetynet checks, will grant you most of playstore's L29 benefit. -I guess it's why you want to rebrand...

@oslo83

Well, I did an Acer and Sony to custom ROM successfully so I'm familiar with the process, this is just a matter of compatibility to be sure of.
This is actually ARS-AL00 and it's not useful for anything like this so why not try :)

I've manage to root it, have Magisk running.
I have tried Google installer as mentioned here on the forum, it installs but just crashes every time it's started, so that's a no go for now.
Yes the goal is to have normal playstore, browser, Ytube and stuff without chinese apps.

Edit: now I see it has 660 cpu - cool

Yes, the 660 processor and 128 GB memory are cool.
But Chinese sellers are very tricky. Many have a big problem! People are already buying the phone with rebranding at the C185 vendor. There are problems with the microphone and communication
But I have already decided this question. The phone works fine, after my kidning

This can be achieved on chinese firmwares without rebranding device :
Playstore installers (emui version specific) should help you. (it just not worked On emui9 B165, previous emui9 and emui8 builds are fine to install GMS on).
Then root and use fingerprint patching. This will get you safetynet and device's Playstore certified status.
Then use adb and/or root to remove Chineses apps.
PM me to go that way.

There are problems with the microphone and communication
Do you think it's related to rebrand ?
I noticed headphone output and microphone were not so good while in communication.-I just though it was hardware related. Mic and headphone output being not so good.-I don't know.
It's an ARE-TL00C00 emui8 rebranded to ARS-L22C636 emui8.

Well, what can I say) everything works fine and the problem with the microphone is solved. I think proofs are not needed. Todayhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=10742797 also solved the microphone issue with him. Everything works perfectly
P.S Perhaps if desired, he himself to share to work :eek:
Can you please explain how to fix microphone issue? I've got a 8x max 660 6/64 with global rom. Thanks a lot ;)
