Erecovery without funky,just connect the phone to usb , hold volume up+power and when u see the logo remove power button while keep pressing volume up to go to erecovery,from there connect to wifi and try to download the firmware.

Some regions succeeded with this.

can anyone help to provide the exact steps? I went through the thread but not yet clear to me. :(

So i changed my region and build with HWOTA from c185b158 to c432b180. To update via OTA, do i have to rebrand it to c432b156? Also after rebranding, my fingerprint reader does not work.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Read my post page 37.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ing.King:
I will be rebranding soon from L09C432B182 to L29C432B182 to get dualsim feature. Please confirm my presumption:

1st step, unlock bootloader, copy to SD HWOTA update files, fastboot, rebrand with OEM info flash using script

2nd step, unlock bootloader again, copy to SD HWOTA update files(as they are removed after flash), fastboot, then standard flash of L29C432B182 FW with script
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aminaqra:
Thanks dear,

But still not clear, I'm very noob.

Would appreciate step by step GUIDE. :D

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FateAudax:
Can anyone point me to the step-by-step instruction for this rebranding? I can't seem to find what files needs to go where...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FateAudax:
Then what about the filelist.xml? I'm confuse. What should I do with it?

When you say "run the tool" means run the update.bat file in HWOTA_2017050101_Windows?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
No need to worry about filelist cause firmware finder is finding the zips for you.

You have to download, the windows files,base files and ur phone model files, extract them in one folder and run update.bat
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FateAudax:
But my phone is bricked... how do I access playstore to download firmware finder?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swan Princess:
It's available as a Windows download as well. On 4PDA somewhere.

Ok I have some additional questions before attempting this. I currently have MHA-L29C636B158 model and I want to flash to the US version, C567. I have already requested and received the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. I want to double check on what exactly are my next steps after unlocking the bootloader. So say that I have completely unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp. I also have downloaded the base file, the os file, and the Mate 9 file as listed and extracted all three into the HWOTA folder. Now do I need to start moving these files into the main Mate 9 or to the SD card or just run straight from the PC with the Mate 9 connected? Also what am I supposed to do with the firmware finder as I have both the android version (on my phone) as well as the window version in the same HWOTA folder? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jaimesco12:
Sd card make HWOTA folder put files there run script and choose sd card when your prompted just follow the guide it's easy I rebranded to c567 and am running 190 right now
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gahu777:
Can i flash "small" update ota with this or full-ota only?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FateAudax:
Place all the HWOTA files like this from Base, OS, and your phone model: http://imgur.com/a/hiJ2i

Then just run the update.bat and follow the instructions.

I MANAGED TO UNBRICK MY P10+ AFTER 1 MONTH STUCKED IN BRICK!! THANKS TO THREAD STARTED!! THANKS ALL!!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ing.King:
10x for the guide and scripts, now rebranded to MHA-L29c432 from MHA-L09c432. On Monday dualsim tray from ali and enjoying dualsim. Don't forget to flash twice when rebranding !!! I have b182log from 5/3 with betaclub app.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeygod:
Do I need to install TWRP first before attempting the script? Right now I am done with unlocking the bootloader but I can't seem to get twrp installed. I tried running the script (bat file) without it but nothing happened.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ing.King:
no, script is doing unlock of bootloader via twrp. and twrp is flashed during execution of the script
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah. If you know what you are doing.

Method (thanks to mankindtw) forces stock recovery to apply update (in case of Mate 9 - two or three files). So, there is no difference what kind of update to install.

To apply OTA your phone shouldn't have any modifications in system partition. Because OTA usually checks integrity of any file what will be patched in update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeygod:
I think the problem I having is booting into fastboot to run the script. Everytime I boot into fastboot, fastboot recognize the device but HISUITE does not and as a result the device never show up (no access to device or SD card on pc). Is there more drivers I need to download in order for the computer to recognize the device while booting in fastboot? I don't have a windows 7 pc to flash it with so I am pretty much stuck with windows 10. Greatly appreciate any help.

Edit: Ok finally managed to get it rebranded. I ended up making a copy of the folder and putting it on my pc and run the script directly from there. Once the script boot up I just followed the instructions. The weird thing is I did not get a prompt for me to flash the second time so I ended up just flashing one time from c636 to c567 and that's pretty much it. Once it reboot I experienced the similar result to post #50 here

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71976167&postcount=50

I was a bit worried since it stated it failed on factory reset but once rebooted, it showed up as c567 just fine. I wondered if I need to unlock the bootloader a third time (second time is of course going through the script) and to reflash c567 again or not since according to the instruction you supposed to flash it twice for rebranding? Anyone going from c636 to c567 can report anything difference? If it's not needed then I preferred to just setup all my apps and start using my phone. TIA OP and everyone here for the assistance.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeygod:
Did you flash it twice or just once? I managed to flash only once to c567 and it seemed to be working without any issue so I didn't flash the same update again as stated in the OP.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jaimesco12:
I flashed once but I messed it up the first time so I did it again and factory reset but if it's working for you then it should be good to go. Are you running 190 too?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeygod:
Yep, I am running 190 with April's security update. I never get a message to flash again so I just went ahead with entering the bootloader unlocked code again as requested by the script and then the error message pop up after it attempted to factory reset. I then reboot after that and it became c567 so I didn't bother trying again.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
Sorry if asked already. Just need a little clarification. So if I unlock the bootloader in order to flash latest firmware, will this kill android pay like rooting does? Also can I relock the bootloader like it never happened? Just want to be as pure clean and stock as possible with system files.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ing.King:
bootloader will be locked again, so you can use android pay after on

After rebranding to C567 using this method, is your volte working now?

I can only answer the latter question: Yes, after flashing firmware like described in the OP your recovery will be back to stock.

No but the option to turn it on is there. Still no volte though, works with my other tmobile branded phone so I know my area supports it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] okcoo:
hi, I was trying to rebrand from Chinese MHA-AL00C00 to L29C567. followed the below instruction but now stuck at step 10. After replacing the oeminfo the bootloader to get LOCKED again but couldn't unlock the bootloader again with the unlock code. It says FAILED (remote: command not allowed).

Tried to use the HW erecovery to restore system but says couldn't get system information (guess it is because the original oeminfo was replaced?).

Now my phone is completely useless... can anyone help?

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.

In the HWOTA base file for the Mate 9 Pro, the update.bat is missing. Can I just take the one from the Mate 9 file, or does it have to be modified?

So I succesfully rebranded, and flashed the second time, as the guide says. Is there anyway getting the bootloader to read "locked" again like it did after flashing the oeminfo? I know I can relock, but that is not what I want.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peppus:
Hi, when the process finish the bootloader get locked again, isn't it?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Is it grey for on or off?

Relock the bootloader and unlock again.

fastboot oem relock xxxxxxx(the code)

Does the rebrand succeed? If yes do a factory reset.

Please see a screenshot below showing my file hirearchy

All the folders have the necessary files in from what I understand

Cygwin - Did not touch the contents

Oeminfo - I put the applicable OEM.bin files for the P10 Plus in here

Recovery- I have the TWRP.img as well as the Recovery.img and Recovery2.img

Tools- Standard ADB Files

Update- In here I have placed the Update.zip regarding the stock Rom I want to install.

Again, when I run the update.bat file I get the above error as shown in the above screenshot. What have I missed ? Help would be great via PM or in here as my phone is useless :(

I watched this video from this thread and this guy seems to have the same layout as me...but im missing something.

ok so i have read this thread over and over but am still confused somewhat. first of all heres what happened so far,

Bought the device

unlocked bootloader

insatlled twrp

tried to add super SU but twrp would not find it even though it was clearly on the device

read that a factory reset sometimes helps

did that and was downgraded to b158 which makes the phone look terrible not to mention i have no keyboard which took a while to install an apk. b158 has nearly no apps or bells and wistles

I also have no option in settings to upate the phone it is not listed as an option anywhere on the device

I am trying and trying many methods including unsuccessful funkyhuawei to get back to b172 but just cant do it

i have tried firmware finder and it dowloads the files but does ntohing after that, no reboot nothing.

I really want to try this method but just am a little unsure of the file edits i need to do.

for the 5 minutes that the phone ran with the beautiful wallpapers it looked amazing and i just want it back so i can use it.

i know this has been long winded but i am running out fo ideas
