So, I want to rebrand to EMUI 8 India from EMUI 8 China. If you could give me detailed instructions with file links it would be awesome. I tried once via HWOTA and it worked but my build number was incorrect and it was incomplete flash. Tried to restore it multiple times via HWOTA and hurupdater. Didn't work. Tried flashing custom ROM. Flashed just fine but on boot got endless "your device isn't certified" messages. So a guide would be helpful. Preferably one without the use of HWOTA and that doesn't cause these problems.
Also in Chinese EMUI 8 I don't have FRP lock. In Indian it is present. How does this affect ROM flashing. Thanks.
Use this guide it's from Ramesh006
From EMUI 8 china to EMUI 8 india

then twrp from this
https://mega.nz/#!a81EDZAR!2-9yPFh3r...fqDsgUG66ewjkk
Download india oem info from this
https://mega.nz/#!eBECSYKZ!rte1IxPYu...6vBBo46iJ6JlEw
now download emui 8 india stock rom from firmware finder
rename them as update. zip
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip
then create a folder on sd card keep these three files along with stock recovery. img and huru. zip
Now flash twrp via fastboot then reboot to twrp flash oem info zip if it fails to install then extract oem info then select install img on twrp select extracted img flash then select only huru. zip then swipe to install it will ask you to hit vol down in 10secs then press vol down it will flash stock emui8 then go back to main screen select reboot recovery then do factory reset
for first time its asks need verified google account then again hit factory reset it will do factory reset then reboot.
it will stay at bootlogo screen for 30-40 secs then boots.
your bootloader will be locked again even after flashing via huru so be prepared and need to enable oem unlock on developer options.
Good luck
I checked that stock recovery link doesn't work so extract it from update.zip
