Was your phone rooted prior to your attempt to update? I wonder if rooted phones may be what has causes the SIM issue...

No it wasn't rooted. Bone stock. Only bootloader unlocked.

Yes i know i can use FF to find them. By the way it means that you can use your phone...but something when wrong when trying to downgrade to C432B113, and the phone was in bootloop, even after factory reset...

Thanks for the links, i wonder what i haven't typed correctly before, may be the _

Best is to find the Firmware u want in Firmware Finder, in Download, mark the firmwares and choose Share Firmware. The i will have the links and just paste them in.

Hello partners.

I looked in FF to see the latest Firmware for MHA-L29C432 and if there is a new version:

*MHA-L29C432B182-LOG

So I downloaded it a few days ago and installed it with the HWOTA without any problem.

It is a version of the B182, which brings an apk for huawei employees : "BETAclub" (ask for registration) and be to enter the program for huawei testers.

So I do not see any difference.

Thanks to the creators, for sharing the work and the creation of HWOTA!

Do you know if there is a way to download and try emui 5.1?

I've succeed in flashing my VTR-L09 into VTR-L29 after hours to slowly download the HWOTA file VTR-L29C636B130 as suggested.

Now my phone works again, no more sim card problem, thank to all helped me to do that.

But I'm wondering if now I am in C636, get back again to C432 will work?

Did someone on the same case done that before?

Strange thing is have pointed in a previous post, that is when I first flash into C432, the phone became dual SIM...

May is it due to I have forgot to put out my sim card during the flash?

Stock VTR-L09C432 haven't this dual SIM feature i guess, no?

Can someone confirm that?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
A lot of people end up with​ dual sim when debrand to C432, can be wrong oeminfo, maby it's taken from a L29C432 but label as L09C432? Because C432 comes as singel sim L09 and dual sim L29.

Even if the imei show 000000000000000 it works to use a second sim and call, all u need is to change the simtray if it does not fit a second sim. Best is to stay on C636 for now until someone finds a solution for the problem.

Befor debrand it's realy importent to make a backup of Original oeminfo if u want to go back!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hypermot1100:
I know that back up is always important...

But as the tool install TWRP by it self, i didn't think about backing up my oem info when the device rebooted in TWRP...

and it wasn't natural for me to back up with TWRP, because my previous devices were Nexus, and i haven't to do that kind of things, as unbranding was not necessary, no need to save OEM info.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
I know, but it should say in the guide to make backup of oeminfo if u want to go back, a big miss in the guide i think.

Salut,

I originally moved my P10 from an exotic C635 to C452 to get EU version with a supposed L09 ("about phone") hardware version, and then I got SIM card issue (no PIN managed).

So I moved to L29-C636 as read through posts as being working version, which worked fine with no SIM PIN issue,

Thinking the issue could come from single/dual SIM and not being due to regional version I tried to install L29-C432.-B130... Successfully!

So my guess is the SIM PIN related issue comes from L09/L29 and has nothig to do with EU-432 or Asia-636 version

I got 636 version a few minutes, I just noticed keyboard layout was different, I was missing this 4th line with figures and I did not find how to get it back from swype parameters...

This also answers your question, I did exactly what you are thinking about, you can move back to L29C432, mine is working like a charm

Yapluka!

Regards
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hypermot1100:
Salut,

I've bought my P10 in an Orange shop.

Where did you buy yours to suspect that is not really a P10 single SIM?

You succeeded to flashing to VTR-L29 C432, but you don't think that flashing it to VTR-L09C432 will succeed?

As far I can remember, in the XML file of VTR-L09C432, I saw lines in the end talking about VTR-L29...

So may be the HWOTA file is responsible...

If I have some time I will flash it back once to VTR-L09C432B130 to be sure...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdarbois:
I first flashed to L09432, version B123, when I had SIM PIN issue

I also noticed that you have one link for L09 and one link for L29 within filelist.xml, so this could be an issue with L09C432B123 I first used to move to EU version that could be fixed with B130 file, but as it does work well with L29 now...

There is not the authentication problem on mate 9?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jr313:
Download the update for your specific phone, all 3 files and use the program from this thread in the OP and you're good to go. Just follow the directions thoroughly and you'll be fine. If you want to rebrand to another follow those guidelines and you'll be fine. You don't have to root but you will need to unlock your bootloader so you'll need that code unless you have already obtained it. After all processes are finished you will be upgraded and back at stock, not rooted and with a locked bootloader

3- update.zip

TWRP is installed on the device and Android tools are in place in my PC.

Also, I've downloaded (HWOTA_2017050101_Base + HWOTA_2017050101_MHA + HWOTA_2017050101_Windows) as you mentioned.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Download the tool for ur phone model from first page and extract it on ur pc.

Use firmware finder from playstore to download the 3 firmware files (update,hw_data,public zips).

Rename them as per OP and place them in a folder HWOTA on ur sd card.

Unlock the bootloader if you didn't already (this step will wipe ur phone so do a backup).

Boot ur phone in fastboot mode and run the tool,than follow the steps.

Hope it's clear.

Are you sure you renamed the files correctly..?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] backb0ne5p1d0r:
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

Managed to go from L29C636 to L09C185 with a slight modification to this method.

It should work for any other region though. So now you can rebrand for free :D FINALLY FREE REBRAND TO ANY REGION

I edited the update.bat to work for rebranding. Download it, and replace the old update.bat and TADA now you can rebrand. (or just rename my file into rebrand.bat and place it in the same directory as the update.bat)

Note that you need to have your OEMINFO ready in the TWRP backups folder before you start the bat. :D

I tried to make the instructions as clear as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, what a great new!! All day messing around but tempted to try. Ye was right, I forget to rename, with your bat you have to do the same rename? Could you write a few lines with the OP, please? :o Thank you very much!!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Add branch when phone has unlocked bootloader already.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] backb0ne5p1d0r:
My instructions are for when bootloader is unlocked in the first place

It asks for the bootloader unlock code because when you restore OEMINFO, the bootloader automatically gets locked. The only way to unlock is to use the unlock command again, let it reboot into TWRP, and then let TWRP reboot back into Bootloader.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

Yes. You'd have to rename.

EDIT: THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ARE FOR THE INITIAL OLD SCRIPT. THE NEW BATCH FILES ARE MORE USER-FRIENDLY SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS. JUST DOWNLOAD FROM OP AND FOLLOW STEPS FROM THERE.

Here are details instructions on how to do the rebranding process. It doesn't take long but I wrote all the details so it looks long :p

Requirements

- Unlocked Bootloader

- zip files for update, hw info, public data

- oeminfo placed correctly in the TWRP Backups folder

1) Create a directory in your EXTERNAL SDCard and name it "HWOTA"

2) Copy update.zip, update_data_public.zip, and update_all_hw.zip files to the newly created "HWOTA" directory.

*Note that you must rename the files to match the names mentioned.

3) Open the batch file.

4) It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.

5) Reboot into BOOTLOADER using "Vol-" + "Power" or just use "adb reboot bootloader" then press any key.

6) TWRP will now be flashed into your device. DON'T use a different version of TWRP. So follow this step even if you already have TWRP installed.

7) DISCONNECT USB Cable and use "Vol+" and "Power" to enter TWRP.

8) Restore oeminfo using TWRP then press any key.

9) Connect USB Cable then press any key.

10) Restoring oeminfo causes the bootloader to get LOCKED again. Your device will now automatically reboot into bootloader to unlock it using the code you provided earlier.

11) Your phone will ask you if you want to unlock. Navigate to YES using Vol+ and then press power.

12) Your device will automatically reboot into TWRP. Press any key on the batch file and your device will be rebooted to bootloader again. (This is all part of the unlocking process.)

13) Now you will see that your bootloader is unlocked. DISCONNECT USB CABLE

14) Turn off your device and reboot into recovery using Vol+ and Power. Press any key.

15) Connect the USB cable and then press any key to continue.

16) Your device will now do some magic behind the scenes and reboot itself into bootloader :p

17) When the batch tells you to do so, DISCONNECT USB, and turn off the device to boot into recovery using Vol+ and Power.

18) You will see your device updating now :D THIS IS IT.

Note that AFTER it finishes flashing, it might try to do a "Factory Reset" on its own. It might fail on the "Factory Reset" screen. Do not worry about this as it will boot just fine. But just to be on the safe side, reboot into recovery and wipe data and cache.

I wonder how Funky will react now, basically they just lost most of their client base! Now if we could only find those rare B2** EMUI / O / 5.1 betas somewhere? Saved the flasher tools just for safety's sake in case they disappear.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaTiCeK-:
One question, the OP writes we have to unlock the bootloader. Does unlocking the bootloader permanently break warranty?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ing.King:
permanently yes, but after this procedure you should be locked again, am I right ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, I tried and got stuck after restore oeminfo, in 14) it reboot in twrp recovery and the console stays in "waiting for device", I thought it has to be stock recovery (would be nice if you to specify always which recovery is expected to reboot). When managed to reboot in the stock recovery the console still was waiting for device and didn't react. What I'm doing wrong? Thank you very much!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] backb0ne5p1d0r:
It's supposed to boot into TWRP recovery. Then TWRP will perform some commands, then it will automatically reboot into fastboot mode, then will flash some files.

That's assuming you went through all the previous steps correctly.

Waiting for device means that it's waiting for the device to get into bootloader. Which is odd because if you had done all the steps correctly, it would automatically reboot into bootloader._.

Unless I messed something up with the code while cleaning up ?. But I doubt it. It should work fine.

Did anyone else test?

I tested it twice._.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TouchscreenLover1:
Or Better say: What exactly should happen when, after I held power and vol+ to reboot my device? Should it show up TWRP or erecovery? Should I plug in the USB Cable while the phone showing the huawei logo or when it is allready showing the recovery (TWRP or Erecovery?).

It's supposed to boot into TWRP when you reboot. Rebooting into eRecovery is only the last step.

When you hold VolumeUp and Power it should boot into TWRP. Then after it boots on TWRP, connect the USB cable.
