None of the official boyue updates I could find had an English option, and this is quite a pain since many apps automatically use the system ui language as their own default language. It seems that later official updates disable USB debugging and advanced access too, though there is at least one modified image that is rooted and enables USB and adb. Boyue does seem to have made some useful improvements in the front light settings and perhaps other bug fixes but it may not be worth it.

The other option is a modified onyx c67ml Carta2 image. I found two on baidu, version 1.74 and 1.8 if I'm not mistaken. Both worked quite well and have many language choices. Neither included a built-in play store and I had some trouble getting sideloaded gapps to fully work, but that may have just required more patience or a fresh reboot after flashing.
Did you modify those C67 images, or were they already modified? When I had a Boyue T62+, I installed a C67ML Carta image on it, and it worked quite well. It needed to have build.prop edited so that I could control the frontlight. I wondered if an Onyx C67ML Carta 2 image or update.zip could work with my Boyue T63. I tried once but I couldn't get it to install at all.
