  4. After many many tries i found a way to convert my CUCC edition to WW.

    This way should work for any Edition.

    1.) Install ADB & USB Drivers
    2.) Download recovery image (version should be smaller or equal to desired rom)
    3.) Boot to fastboot mode (Power + Vol Up)
    4.1) flash fastboot.img from original desired rom zip (fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img)
    4.2) flash recovery image (fastboot flash recovery xyz.img)
    5.) reboot to fastboot again
    6.) launch recovery from fastboot
    7.) upload firmware (adb sideload xyz.zip)
    8.) wipe cache
    9.) reboot

    Your phone should now have the desired ROM & SKU (even future OTA updates should work)
