Ok, i have a stupid JKM-LX3 Y9-2019 and im trying to get rid of the phone provider bs. I have already tried with the vanilla options in HiSuite and no luck, it keeps giving me the same rom.

So I want to try my luck installing be it the JKM-AL00 or the JKM-TL00 wich are the Chinese versions of the phone.

Leaving the spooky things about pooh probably living inside the rom, my major consern is the posible difference in drivers, especially because there's a difference between my 3GB RAM phone and the Chinese versions with 4GB.

SO, should I try my luck?

Disclaimer: I'm a software engineer that knows next to nothing about hardware, firmware, or drivers.

I used to work for a company that made an Android device. At one point we made a hardware revision where we changed display vendors for cost reasons. Whenever someone would accidentally flash the image for a device intended for the old display on a tablet with the new display, the display would get extremely hot and then burn out and stop working permanently after a few minutes.

Hopefully there isn't a sneaky change like that in there.
