I already did 10+ regions :)
Updated to oreo and given my phone to someone.
Detailed steps in my signature in fact as I did myself and written that user friendly guide
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

download huru from this thread

https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...overy-t3769279

then stock recovery from this

https://mega.nz/#!cbJFAIQD!qvp1KnZ0q...De5PoZE0BQf8fs

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

I am confused, flashing oeminfo. Oeminfo in this instruction consist two directories with some files.
In the instruction from shashank1320 ther is just 1 small file zipped.
I tried rebrandingbranding with flasing the small oeminfo.zip and got "error wrog zip format" I deziped+ziped the includet oeminfo again, it did not work. Is the big oeminfo from this manual for twrp flash and the small (like instructions from shashank1320) not usable for twrp flash? I am wondering, a single file shoult do same as many files here. At other manul it should flashed using Multitools, but multitools 7 last tim was only display in russian. Later i readet, also possible twrp.
Another question: I can not get a full ota from firmwarefinder, because my internet provider allow not changing to alternate DNS server. Is another way possible?

Hey people, has someone recently done this? the new version of the multitool seems to be quite different.

Im unlocked and rooted with an european Honor6x but Im stuck at step 3 and im not finding anything to backup my oeminfo.
Or can i rely on the provided oeminfo file in the first post of this thread as backup?
