Good day to you,fyi for now we only can managed to rebrand from AL00 to L29C636 and vice versa,this is because other region's Offline Dload files is no where to be found(for now).

1-u need to unlock BL in order to flash twrp(which is a custom recovery),u will need to use adb to unlock your BL and also to push/flash/install twrp.

2-u need to use twrp restore function to restore the OEMinfo

3-u need to unlock BL again because once u have flash the official fw everything will be stock again including recovery and it will lock back your BL thus why OP mention to unlock BL again

4-refer to point no 3,thats y u need to reinstall twrp again beforw you can flash any zip files.

hope the above is clear

Thank You and Have a Nice Day Ahead.

Thanks for your favorable reply for now I was able to have UNLOCK CODE FROM HUAWEI based on the information I gave them which included the Model number of MHA-AL00

NOW on this XDA developers platform I was able to download FULL FIRMWARE for MHA-L29C432 and also OEMINFO for C432

So from your explanation you explained with this 2 Softwares I have which is the full firmware and oeminfo can I go ahead to Change the ROM will it work

2. Also you said it will be locked would I have to go thru that 14 days again to have a different UNLOCK BOOTLOADER CODE FOR C432 OR THE PREVIOUS UNLOCK CODE I RECEIVED FROM HUAWEI WHICH WAS GENERATED FROM MY MODEL NUMBERS OF MHA-AL00 WILL IT WORK?

And also what is the function of this HW DATA FILE

BECAUSE ALREADY I HAVE FULL FIRMWARE FOR C432 AND OEMINFO

THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE SIR

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
You can rebrand to l29c636 only not c432.

The bootloader code you can use it as many as you want,you don't need to request it again.

Full firmware doesn't include regional specific applications and services that's why you need hw_data.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] secondd:
Hi friend,

I am going through the rebranding process and I have made it up to flashing hw_data.

With bootloader unlocked and TWRP 3.0.3-1 installed, flashing the update_full_hw_spcseas.zip gives an error.

Am I correct in thinking that this zip needs to be installed through TWRP? Or is there another way of flashing it?

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
Hi,you are most welcome but there are a couple of things i need to make it clear for C432 FW you cannot use the 3 button method aka Dload method because the file is not OFFLINE file.

2- you can use your existing unlock code to unlock BL,and you dont need to wait another 14 days for the code.HW data is to prevent your phone to boot with black screen and visible navigation bar only.thus u need to flash hw data and dload for the 2nd time to prevent any error.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

are you getting error 7?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] secondd:
Yes my friend, it is error 7..
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Yes it gives some error but don't worry,you are fine to continue.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kipsyprince:
Thanks for your advice sir

So that mean for now I must wait for C432 to have the HW DATA FILE

AND also are there any plans to make C432 work with this 3 button method you mentioned
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Hw data files for c432 are available but the problem that we don't have offline updates for c432.

Huawei not releasing offline updates,the 2 we got are leaked firmwares.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] secondd:
As I understand it, the rebranding process allows for updates for the rebranded firmware.

After experiencing the flashing error and booting up, I get no updates to the latest firmware.

Attached is my system update and About Phone page.

Sorry I cannot post links because of I do not have enough posts, but:

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
well basically it still go thru even with error 7,so now u can proceed to dload again before booting into system
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
You can try with wifi and 4g.

There is 3 dots in the upper right click on download latest update package.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Hope you managed to find the update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mai55:

Thank you again

glad that it works for you..
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Just for info.

Did rebrand from C432 to C636, but with differences.

I copied/extracted whole folder dload from archive to internal memory, not microsd.

I did not flash hw_data

Phone was started successfully and with additional apps like Facebook, Tripadvisor, Truecaller and etc. So it is fully working.

Don't realize why. Probably, it is cause dload folder already has all files: update.app, update_vendor.app and update_data_hw_spcseas.app

May be phone flashed them all.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
So you copied the dload folder to ur internal storage and dload work?

Usually when using dload in internal storage, the update say update not found?

How did you copied via twrp?

You had any root or modified boot.img?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
I copied when phone was normally working (via Explorer). Just copied, then turned off and flashed by 3-buttons method.

I've had root and modifed boot before flashing process. I've lost all modifications after and got locked bootloader. But it's not problem, i've got root and modified boot back.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
So maybe because of the decrypted boot,all the files flashed successfully?

Or because the location in internal storage,but that's weird how the update Start from internal storage.

Today I tried to redo these procedures, I restore OEM_info, and flash dload B115, then flash the hw_data. However, it turned out couldn't work, the MEID is still all 0. What should I do? Restore the backup OEM_info (original US version) and try to find a US full firmware packages and flash it, will it restore the MEID? Many thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Dont know the price, check on Dc Unlocker they Support them. Check in there forum if u can restore MEID.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fairyland4ever:
I restore the original US OEM_info, and eRecovery back to US MHA-L29C567B190, I found there is no MEID in the "About". and I tried *#06#, there showed only two IMEIs, nothing else. Do the US version not support the MEID actually? That is the reason why when I flash to China version, the MEID is all 0?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Do you have a twrp backup for ur original files?

Did you try to enter erecovery and download full firmware via wifi?

Seems ur efs partition is corrupted if you have backup maybe you can restore it.

Do you still have phone signal? If so forgot about MEID.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fairyland4ever:
Thank you for your reply! I have only backup the OEM_info, since it was the only thing I replaced. Now I restore to the original OEM_info, and eRecover to US firmware. However, I found the US version is different. In the "About" there is no MEID item, which is different from China version. I tried to type *#06#, the US version only showed two IMEIs, the China version showed two IMEIs and MEID and one more item. I am doubt that maybe the US version originally don't support MEID... is it true?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Seems it's not supported,so happy ending :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fairyland4ever:
Thank you gm007! However, it is not happy ending : (

I think the mate 9 is a full band supported phone, however, without the EMID, which means it doesn't support the CDMA 2000... I am sure that the mate 9 bought from China support CDMA 2000 and has the EMID. Also you can see the picture of the US version, they are different from China version.

Thanks for the reply. Just one question, what am I suppose to select form that site ? the version that matches my phone or the version that I want ?

"A. Get ROM update link through hwmt.ru. Click "filelist.xml".

B. Observe "update.zip" size, choose more than 1GB file size FULL OTA from previous step. Example MHA-L29C636B158 filelist Link, all three update files and path are in the filelist.xml content."

I mean, should I go for the MHA AL00 or for the one that I want to install - international ?

I would, but I'm trying to get rid of all the chinese stuff from my phone: pinyin keyboard, yellow pages, voice commands, lock screen swipe up menu, and the HiApp where everything is in chinese.

Yes. Hardware is fully detected even after rebranding.

Difference in software. On world ROMs are not call recording, not option to hide navigation keys. World ROMs updated slower than Chinese.

ok :confused:... im lost:)..heres my story..i bought an L09 single sim mate 9(vodaphone australia version).. the seller neglected to inform me it was in demo/retail mode (i checked with both huawei and vodaphone and the phone was totally legit and even in warranty), i couldnt work out how to get it out of demo mode,and had the bright idea to flash it to a stock unbranded firmware (of course, being my first huawei and it being years since i played around flashing phones and roms, i didnt know how tricky this sucker was gonna be) , and of course, the phone wouldnt let me flash a firmware..i got mad at this point, so i unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp (and of course,being the genius i am, totally forgot to make a backup of the firmware on it,even if it was locked in retail mode), and tried a couple of roms here on xda..i just wanna use my phone!:crying:..anyway, i tried a couple of roms,but they were either buggy or the camera didnt work/buggy, so i searched and found threads on rebranding and flashing the l29 firmware (636,as apparrently thats one of only 2 firms that can be flashed, maybe its changed now, and i can get back to a stock l09 firmware :fingers-crossed: ), anyway, i got it loaded and everything is fine except! my phone is recognised as an l29, with the dual sim options in settings, the second imei is blank( thank god i didnt lose my imei through my stupidity),and my imed is all zeros, other than that, phone appears to function good..Anyway,thts in a nutshell what i have done, is there a way back to l09? without using a service like funky whatever..i can wait until other leaked firmwares get out,if i have to,as my phone functioning, but if you or anybody can give me other options, thast would be fantastic! :victory:..so sorry for the convoluted post,all, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, i would be most obliged :good:

I tried all the available updates but I'm always getting "unauthorized" response even for both "with IMEI and without IMEI" options.

Since I only wanted to update my OS (not rebranding), do I still have to flash TWRP?

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
C635 has some FullOTA ROMs, so you can get original back.

But you need search files via Firmware Finder entering MHA-L29BC635 (Is is normal when Huawei puts symbol B in metadata, ROM version must be without this symbol)

https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108

1. Read manual. Learn what utility is doing in general

2. Download files via FF or using web site.

3. Prepare to rebrand. Did you have backup? You should have oeminfo file for C635.
