well i am pleased to report that I have finally got it. i will try and detail where i went wrong so others might not get stuck.

Base: HWOTA_2017050101_Base.zip when i downloaded this file i used the hwota folder in here to put all the other files in it. It has an empty folder called update in it which is where i out the three zip files.

when renaming the zip files i got confused and added .zip to the end of the renamed folder even though it already is a zipped file(obvious now) but the command cant run it when looking for it.

It is actually very easy to do but you must READ READ READ the thread over and over and it becomes clear in the end.

http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1308963

This is the spanish version of the instructions by Peppus which when googls translated it i found it to be quite a bit easier to follow

Thanks so much everyone for your help. now to start using the phone as it was intended

With this method, receive ota updates after rebrand?

The warranty is still?

Can i flash vtr-l29 firmware to my vtr-l09 phone? (in the htcmania.com thread of this method, some people write the l29 firmware is working on l09 phone, and the dual sim function working too)

Sorry for my bad english and the noob questions... :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, the answers are yes, yes, and yes... Spanish people are trustworthy indeed :p

Cheers!

EDIT: If you need to use the guarantee you should install back a rom that matches with your device
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NIPSEN:
You need to flash a second time ! Selecting "Same model update" , part D of Manual update "Rebrand flash twice." !
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
Ok, so what happened it's that I messed up, had a typo in the update_all_hw and I didn't notice the first time that it said the file couldn't be located, so like in the 3rd try I read that, renamed the file and all went well.

But what about the rebrand and then update? I did it just once and got to C567B190 and then factory reset, was just so glad I could make it work that didn't wanna mess up anymore.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NIPSEN:
Do you have the right rom name in system update? Does theme app work? If yes, it's done.

Hello everyone, need some help, so I'm trying to rebrand from 636 to 432 and the only file I could download from the link is the Update.zip file for L29C432 ( about 1.7 GB ), my question is: where exactly do I download the other two zip files, I read and I read again about those filelist.xml files but I couldn't understand how to download the update_data_public.zip and update_all_hw.zip, ??

EDIT: found them in one of the answers thx
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
Yup! As the screenshots state I have B190 and well themes are working, that's what you meant?

I am getting rather impatient and fed up waiting for Huawei to authorise latest updates. I am on B172 and FF shows B180 and B181. I tried the proxy method of course to no avail as they are not authorised. Is there ANYWAY I can update my rom? I am unrooted and want to stay unrooted please.

Can I download the ROM somewhere and use the dload SD card folder way or flash from recovery or will the installation fail because it is still unauthorised even though downloaded?

If u flash with​ L29C636 it should fix that.

Info from Funky

Hello users!

We are encountering an issue, so far with three people (note: many people did not have this issue, but we're posting just in case!). They try to rebrand a VTR-L09 or VKY-L09 to the respective VTR-L09C432 or VKY-L09C432. The rebranding is successful, but once they finished rebranding, the phone will not read their sim.

Unfortunately, we don't know why, but there is some kind of compatibility issue in some cases. So if you try this and you have this problem, here is the solution:

Rebrand to VKY-L29C636 or VTR-L29C636 Your phone will become dual-sim, but the rebranding will work, and you'll have no more carrier bloatware, as it's a generic Asia version.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lextermina:
OK I have rebrand to VTR-L29C636 flash L09C432B187, pin code work etc but on system Info i have Onyx D188 NRD90M test-keys Emui 3.1 Android 5.1 it's normal?

Spent almost 7 hours. Tried from VTR-L09C109B100 to VTR-L09C432B137. Phone is VTR-L09.

Everything goes smooth until final installation on the phone. After rebooting the phone tried to install update, but can not start and says update package doesn't exist.

On the SD card, in the folder HWOTA there are 3 zips:

update.zip

update_all_hw.zip

update_data_public.zip

What Im doing wrong?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] charlestsai:
Thank you for your work! But I have some questions. Since you used full ota update instead of offline update will it lock the bl back after rebranding? and are you able to receive further ota updates after the action?

how could i know if my bootloader locked or not yet ?

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] narsiliouz:
Yesterday I almost bricked my P10 [VTR-L09]

I have unlocked bootloader, there is a TRWP as recovery installed.

Internal memory is whole wiped, there is nothing.

So I have access to fastboot, i have communication with ADP, there is a TRWP, and I can install SuperSu (.zip).

Problem is, that I can'd do nothing else. I have no external SD card on me right now, only what I can use is internal memory of phone, or my computer.

Edit:

Ok, somehow I realise how to drag out separate files.

Now I have 3 nice clean, properly named files ready in proper HWOTA folder.

I will try again, and we shall see how it wil go :)

I tried this method once yesterday, and everything was smooth and nice, but i think I used wrong ROM, or made a mistake, because when whole process end, phone booted and instead go to update screen, there was warning that update files are not present, and update failed :(((

New update:

Using properly grabbed and re-named .zip files, i was finally able to bring my phone to life.

It is updated, and what's more, Dual-Sim is working now!

And i already checked - it works just brilliant.

Before it was branded (UK), and was not working. Only SD card worked, there was even no Dual - Sim option menu in phone settings.

Bastards..

Anyway, using this method really works, and can unbrick your phone if you are calm, patient, and using your brain ;)

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, enter in fastboot mode and you will see that the phone is locked again, so it will be able of update normally next time.

Hi guys my device is not installing the TWRP, i have noticed that the OEM unlock is now locked on my device and the toggle cannot be moved? is this preventing the TWRP to be installed and does anyone have any ideas on how to get past this? Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Remove password or pin or fingerprint.

Do factory reset.

But backup everything what you need before.

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

It seems like C675 is very customized region. Very little chances to get batch of ROMs. Just a few OTAs.

ROMs in FF are appearing when Huawei had posted them in HiCloud and someone scanned range of parameters (via FF) and found something new.

No ROM in FF equals that Huawei did not post it yet (in most cases)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryderdt5:
Hi i believe i have tried doing that? maybe im worng, can u explain why?

when i run the update.bat it stops at the start when put into fastboot mode then click continue then it says writing twrp but always fails? Thanks

Sorry also forgot to say i already have TWRP 3.0 .2-2 installed and running a custom rom but wish to go back to stock and update but i cannot run the update.bat file and always get caught at the writing TWRP failed. currently running romaur 1.5 and the model number now is the c636b180. do not know if this information is relevent hope someone can help. Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
If you have FRP Lock in fastboot, so you can't flash TWRP.

To avoid Frp lock you should turn ON option "oem unlocking​" in Developer Settings.

It is guide only for world ROMs (including AL00C00 rebranded to world ROMs)

If you have TWRP already NEVER do Factory reset!

Reboot into fastboot and notice that you have all in unlocked mode.

Do you can catch error?

Just download the offline firmware for c636, extract it on sd card,turn off ur phone and press 3 buttons,power volume up and down together till the update start.

And yes you can update later with the method here.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryderdt5:
