Whoa that's great news, because getting the oem unlock code from Huawei is proving to be impossible!

Did you develop that tool?

I'll definitely look into it as soon as I get a better internet connection (I'm deep in the countryside for the weekend).

I would like to present a little VDO GUIDE for how to debrand Huawei Phone via my tool :)

[TOOL] SRK Tool Huawei Bootloader/ROOT/Recovery/Backup/Utility

In this VDO GUIDE , I use Huawei Mate 8 model, and use these same method for Huawei P9 Plus

[YOUTUBE]JZVsIKtdgV4[/YOUTUBE]
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
HI, whats the benefit of debranding? I'm curious but dunno what the benefits are, thanks
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] somboons:
The benefits of debrand , you can use new firmware from other variant, Maybe you can solve problem about your phone such as mate 8 can't go back to EMUI 4.0 after upgrade to EMUI4.1 I have to debrand to C432 then dload EMUI 4.0 of my stock firmware , for any people who use AL10 from china that have many bloatware or chinese apps you can debrand to EU. :)
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] yaxanali17:

any one test on L29, I want to debrand from C185 to C636

When open VERLIST.img had this code:

VIE_C900B000
EVA_Global
VIE_Global_B025

Edit:

I used VIE_C900B000 and debrand to C636 and upgrade framework to VIE-L29C636B130 from another thread yours

HI,

Could you please write a step by step guide?

I would really appreciate it! I feel lost in the red forest...

My phone failed to update to c02b128 but it changed the version info without installing the new apps.. so now I need to debrand and install the latest fw manually..

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards!
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
I downloaded the B161 for 432 from the stock firmwares thread and then created the dload folder on the ext sd card and put the 2 files from the update zip into the dload folder. Then followed the video guide in the debranding thread. Just make sure yr phone is rooted (the tool can do that for you, it's very easy to follow the options). Once rooted you choose option 7 (utility) and then change the oeminfo & custombin (option 9) Then after rebooting choose option 7 again and choose option 10. Download Huawei extractor 0.9.9.3 (google it) and use it as shown in video, once finished with changing the ro.build.display then change recovery to stock (use the tool as per video) and then unroot from within supersu app (choose full unroot option in settings). Then use the project menu (it's in the video) to flash the update file. Once rebooted activate dev options and debugging and flash twrp recovery and root of you want and all done. Hope this helps a bit
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
Great! Thank you!

Quick one: Do you have the new apps? Like TV remote?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
Yes but i deleted them as i don't use them
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
Ok, Thank you! I'll give it a go
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
Just hated waiting for my carrier to release firmware so that's why I debranded so i could update when a new firmware was released by Huawei.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
Did you have to unlock the bootloader? or just root it?!

Thanks,

fr34ky
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sakiin:
VIE-AL10 anyone?

I have VIE-AL10 with VIE-AL10C00B176 Chinese version, anybody debranded this?

I live in Europe and there is no dual sim in Europe, am I better of Asia?

Any advice, appreciated.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] somboons:
AL10 to C636, after debrand you can only use 1 sim card. I 'm not sure , it is a same with another variant.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sakiin:
Many thanks. In that case I will withhold because I need the dual sim to work.

Really disappointing as I really wanted to change it.

Is there another solution?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] somboons:
after debrand to international firmware , you have to change oeminfo to al10 . that's a way to use dual sim , but after that you will lost ota feature in international firmware.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sakiin:
Is this the case even if I use AL29 which is the dual sim for international?

Is the debranding process harmless? I was thinking of trying out.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] marekpipe:
That seems to be very interesting . Is it right, that al10 is the chinese version and al29 the international / HK Version of the dual sim P9+ ? Has anybody tried to get an AL10 to AL29 ? What does it mean to change oem Info to AL10 ? Do you have full google Services then and dual Sim ?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
In have he L29C636 version, dual sim is not needed on ny end, what I need is FULL google services and fast updates, which firmware should I use?

Also I cannot have my phone running rooted unless it is just for switching firmwares.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
U will loose dual sim.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

C432 is best for fast updates. U will have to root the phone to flash oeminfo and change firmware. Then u can unroot the phone.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] marekpipe:
But when you change oeminfo after that then dualsim will be back?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] marekpipe:
So the way would be for al10:

Flashing everything as i would have a al29 ... last step would be cchanging oeminfo back to al10.... right?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sakiin:
Just wondering what are we gaining by doing this? I already have all Google services with AL10 which you can do by first installing Play and get the rest from the Play.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] marekpipe:
Thank you for that info.

I thought that Not all google Services would work with the al10 fw. If it is possible to installl everything though google play then there is really No need for that .....perhaps only to get deinstall the chinese stuff
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] radioraheem2:
i have an AL 10 and i downloaded all google apps too, but Google now on tap doesn't work. when i hold home button it still goes to huawei's own chinese voice search.

but other than that, i would say my AL 10 functions and looks just like a normal, un-China version.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
Is the C432 a chinese based firmware? All google play servies working? or what else do I need to knkw before I flash to that firmware. And I dont see a L29C432 firmware posted only al10c432
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
C432 is the international version for L09, so no, not Chinese based. Everything works fine I'm on C432B170.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
Indeed. The tricky part is make sure you unroot before installing back the stock recovery. Fw install may fail because of root and there is a risk to brick apparently...
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
I converted my VIE-L29C636B130 to C432 and it switched to L09 and i did lose dual sim funktion. Did i do someting wrong or can that be fixed so my phone is L29C432 and not L09C432?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
you didnt do anything wrong except not knowing that installing eu fw to the chinese dualsim will take away the dualsim functionality. You need to go back to your oeminfo (you will need your oem info files) then find a chinese fw and flash it back.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
I did that, now i am back on L29C636. I tought only AL10 did loose dual sim function and not the L29? I still have 2 imei when on L09. Is there any whay to fix so u can have C432 on L29 and keep dualsim function?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
at this stage I dont think so
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
What is the purpose of getting the back the oeminfo if you can get dual sim on the EU firmware anyway or is it just for going back to C636 ?

---------------------------

I am about to change to L09 C432, so i just need to download the firmware get the debranding tool and nothing else? ive seen the video guide once and there seems to be a step specific to the Mate 8 only the part where the firmware label was copy pasted?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
It is just if u want to go back to C636, u can debrand it to C185 if u want then your dual sim will work. C185 is the Middle East/Africa cust but has the latest firmware as C432.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
yes, you do the same on the P9+, only other thing you need to download is Huawei extractor you need it for one of the steps, but if you follow it it works quite easily. also dont be alarmed if you do the firmware update via stock recovery at all goes well then at 100% it says update failed! but actually it hasn't failed all is well so dont fear. Even with stock recovery and unroot it says the same, but when u boot u'll see all is well and the phone is updated. On that note if you use SuperSU 2.76 you dont need to unroot and 2.76 is systemless, so I'm not sure what triggers the update failed but each of the 3 times I've updated I had that message but all was fine.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
Is the debranding tool using SuperSU 2.76 ?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
no, 2.62/4 I think, I have attached the Huawei Update Extractor for those that need it (needed for changing ro.build.display.info).
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
So that means I have to unroot before flashing back to stock recovery or is 2.62 still systemless?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
No 2.62 is not systemless so you'll have to unroot, unless you just flash the 2.76 version of supersu over 2.62 then you won't need to.

Have you tried to change from AL10 to AL29 and are you satisfied with the results?

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

You may have enabled Phone Finder when you set up your phone the first time. It prevents the sending of commands to the bootloader.

Go to Settings ---> Advanced settings ---> Security ---> Phone Finder and disable this.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
I am at the part where the buildprop needs to be changed, after changing it the phone rebooted normal and prompted a factory reset due to decryption failure on the data ( this also happened earlier when unlocked the bootloader and the device performed a lowlevel factory reset ) the phone performs a lowlevel factory reset and reboots then prompts me on the same white screen that asks for a factory reset.

I am now stuck in that loop and I need some help how to fix this. I still have access to fastboot though if that helps.

Interesting. I was in a loop as well. after 2-3 round of low level format it sorted itself! :S I know it's not much of a help, sorry :( relock the bootloader, install stock recovery and try to install the latest FW.

Download stock C432B103 zip from post #1 in Stock firmwares thread read bit about returning to stock. So i was rooted (supersu 2. 76 which is systemless) with bootloader unlocked, i created the 3 folders as per post #1 I referred to above and put the extracted zip files into dload folder on ext sd card but replaced the UPDATE. APP with the latest B173(4) but kept the dt and hw folders. Then installed stock recovery used the *#*#284...#*#* menu and flagged via sd card, all went fine though it wipes phone and relocks bootloader, so i unlocked, installed twrp and rooted it then restored data from twrp backup, all good now.

Thankfully this worked and after one more factory reset it booted!

Debrand p9 vodafone IT

Hello,

I would like to debrand my phone. I read some guide here and I will use srk tool.

Now I'm on c02b133.

Which is the correct procedure?

have I to install via dload c432b136, go to c900 and then unlock bootloader, root e oem info file?

Or have I to unlock bootloader, root, oem info file and then flash the rom c432?.

I have this doubt because in some post, someone told to reinstall stock recovery after root, and forced the installation of the stock rom..so I'm not sure about correct way.

Thank to everyone

Hello,

I've debranded my P9 Plus fro. Branded O2 to generic Europe

The phone now shows c432b174

Vendor hw

Country eu

All themes work

Android pay is working

Does this sound like it's been debranded properly.

The only issue I seem to have is my NatWest app not allowing fingerprint as it's says it's rooted or security features changed.

Thanks for the tutorial. The only issue I had doing this was data encryption and getting around that and a bootloop that ensued was a right royal pain in the arse. Lol

Hi everybody, I tried the procedure, but after the first step (change custom.bin) the device wouldn't boot anymore, it gave me a red warning screen (as opposed to the usual orange one) and subsequently asked for a password to decrypt the archive (???). Only a factory reset allowed me to reboot into the system, now I don't know where I'm at, because it detects C432 (as I wanted to turn my phone into), but I still have some steps to do... Any help please? Thanks a lot :confused:

UPDATE: I tried to update the firmware with the dload method, and once again at the reboot it asked for a password to decrypt. After a factory reset, it now boots normally again, but there's obviously something wrong... In also getting warnings as I try to move default storage location to SD and stuff. Any help please?
