Question Bounty$100 .. Convert Honor magic vs chinese to global

[lgvw]

Hi , Supposedly i bought a new fold phone. Tired of samsung monopoly and big fan of mate 20x , i went for magic vs. I got duped by alibaba seller as he stated that he will install global rom ie MagicOs 7.1 bt phone is still on magic OS 7. (android 12)
So anybody who can actually help me convert it to global are welcome. I got it done earlier for my mate 20x but this time honor magic os is still based on huawei's harmony os and its impossible to get proper google integration.

Also i read its easy to root any snapdragon phone with some method(lost post link)
But when i used to do this earlier it was never possible without unlocking bootloader and to the best of my knowledge honor and huawei no longer provide those.

If nothing comes out., i would have to take things into my own hands. Guys please advice me if its possible to root and if yes, are there any guides to port twrp. Also i remember earlier there used to be things like android kitchen, whats new recently. All advices are welcome. People help!!

Apart from this, mods please feel free to move this to appropriate section.

I have the exact same problem. Got a brand new Honor Magic Vs Chinese version, running MagicOS 7.0 & Android 12 . Great hardware, but can't have Google suite put on properly unless upgrade the system to MagicOS 7.1 with Android 13. While there's quasi solutions to use Google apps, via Gspace or others, it's just not the solid experience unless the Google Services Framework can be put on properly. Can't find a way to upgrade the system software still.

wait, magicOS china has gapps on android 13? I'd be interested in buying a chinese honor as well. anyways, this might be what you are searching for I think (if I got the model right): http://www.viprom.cn/list/21931.html

Hi guys, any one managed to do the global Rom flash to their Magic v or Vs?
Or managed to install the Google services on MagicOs 7.0

Global launch is around the corner so its just a matter of time before we will see a global rom. I think the Problem might be the locked bootloader.

And I can not read Chinese but all these firmwares on the linked site seem to be Android 12 Firmwares. We need a MagicOS 7.1 Firmware. Not 7.0.x.x.x.

So if I bought the global version, does that mean that things like Android auto should work?

I purchased the Magic Vs in the UK and it does have Android Auto integrated.
Also, there is full Google integration.

Hi, is there a way to flash the global rom on Chinese version?

Seems pretty simple to me, although there is a 70% chance that I am underthinking this, then again Huawei is very suprising. Also you will not get anywhere without doing a tear down on the phone.
