You can change the region of your Huawei Honor 4C and gain the ability to flash firmware from other countries by a few tweaks to the files that hold country settings. This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the entire process and provide you with the files required.

Huawei Honor 4C

 

1. Requirements

  • Full root access
  • ES File Explorer (Root Explorer is not recommended at all!)
  • Backup of your current stock recovery and custom recovery
  • Full Nandroid backup of all partitions
  • OEM Info File (download here)

Warning: Although you might find this tempting, there’s a high chance that you’ll brick your phone in the process. That’s why you’re strongly advised to keep a handy nandroid backup. We hold no responsibility for any kind of damage caused during or after this procedure. You proceed entirely at your own risk!

2. Procedure

Step 1: First of all, find out your current vendor/country info. One way to do this is by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* – from the menu that pops up go to Network Information > Vendor/Country Info. Some of the vendors/countries are:

  1. hw/spcseas – Malaysia
  2. unicomelectric/cn – China
  3. hw/meafnaf – Pakistan
  4. mts/by – Belarus

Step 2: Now that you know your region information, open ES File Explorer and turn “Root Explorer” on from the menu in the sidebar. Select “/” (device) from the bar above and go to “Data”. Open custom.bin using the ES Note Editor. You’ll see the same vendor and country information in this file as you previously saw in engineering mode. Clear the text and insert the text corresponding to the region you wanna shift to. For example, if I were moving from Pakistan to Malaysia, I’d clear “hw/meafnaf” from custom.bin and insert “hw/spcseas” instead.

When you’re done, save the file and make sure its permissions are set to rw-rw-rw in its properties.

Step 3: Now download the OEM Info package from above and extract it. Inside the oeminfo folder, take the oeminfo file of the country you’re shifting to and copy it to [/device]/dev/block/hi_mci.0/by-name/. Replace the file that’s already present in by-name folder. I repeat – replace the file – don’t delete it! Make sure you’re doing this only through ES File Explorer. Make sure this file has rwx rwx rwx permissions.

Step 4: Finally, if you’ve done everything right, reboot your phone and check your vendor and country info again by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* in the dialer.

Step 5: Now you should be able to flash any firmware from the region you now have. In case you’re seeing “balong” in Settings > Update as your version number it means that you now won’t be able to receive any online updates. You don’t really need to worry about it. Simply download the firmware and flash it through the forced SD upgrade method (you know the one – Vol up + Vol down + Power).
