I tried this procedure in Windows 7 and 8.1 - It stucks because system doesnt recognize phone as an adroid device (adb drivers problem).

Finally I got it working in Windows 10. Pass all the procedure, but when on the phone screen was message Installing update it stucks on 72%.

I was waiting and waiting - finally power off device.

Now the phone is booting properly (bootloader unlocked) but in Phone settings I have:

Device Name: Onyx D188

Model Number: D188-L29

Compilation number: NRD90M test-keys

Emui version 3.1

Android Version 5.1

When I enter fastboot mode I have info Device unlocked - on green FRP LOCKED.

I cant enter TWRP to start process all over to complete properly rebranding procedure.

Any ideas of this matter ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Try relocking bootloader, 'fastboot oem relock bootloader_unlock_code'.

Then go to dev options and enable OEM Unlocking, then unlock bootloader again.

Edit: You did tell it to flash oeminfo, right?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sixhundrednine:
Please mention the advantages of rebranding.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] scOOtt84:
Ok, I finally end up running VTR-L29C432B151 firmware on my Huawei P10.

I was rebranding from version VTR-AL00. I would like to share the problems which I was facing during this process and solutions which I used to end this process succesfully.

First of all I started rebranding process under Windows 8.1 Pro.

I've installed ADB Drivers (adb-setup-1.4.3). System doesn't recognize the device properly so I have to update drivers manually. After this process system recognized the device as Android ADB Device (or something like that I do not remember exactly). After downloading all the nessesary files I moved them to SD Card and to C drive of Windows.

I've started process of rebranding.

Unlocking the bootloader

1) Enable USB debbuging options in device

2) Go to adb main directory hold shift key and open cmd window from this point

3) Use command 'adb fastboot reboot'

5) Device will restart in fastboot mode

6) Use command 'fastboot oem unlock *type here your unlock code*'

7) Device will reboot and you are ready to go with rebrand/update process of your device

Rebranding process

1) Boot the device into bootloader using "Volume Down" + "Power" and then press any key.

2) TWRP will be flashed into the device

3) After installing TWRP disconnect USB cable and reboot the device holding power button and Volume UP

At this point troubles came - when I enter TWRP in both systems Windows 7 and 8.1 device were not discovered properly - and I cannot follow further steps - the script hangs and I havent got option to choose HWOTA SD Card etc

After doing these steps under Windows 10 everything went smooth - so I follow through the onscreen instructions

The flashing process hangs on 72% - I do not know why - maybe that is because after I saw info at the screen of the device - Installing update - I hit ENTER on the console and it dissapeard - don't know

The consequenses of that was my device boots up with FRP Locked and strange image as below:

Device Name: Onyx D188

Model Number: D188-L29

Compilation number: NRD90M test-keys

Emui version 3.1

Android Version 5.1

I've managed to unlock FRP lock using command: fastboot oem relock bootloader *your code* and after that under developer options uncheck something about FRP (sorry I do not remember exact name of this option)

Now I restarted the process all over again. The device was flashed sucessfully - after that I flashed it again with the same brand option (please be aware that you must copy update,hw files and public files once more in the HWOTA folder on SD Card because they have been deleted during flash process).

And voilà - the device is running international ROM and no more chinese signs :D

Thanks everybody for helping me.

BIG thanks to the authors of the scripts and everything what was needed to do to be able to do this process

Cheers from Poland

Best regards

Lukasz

Use the script update folder option. Place the 3 zips in /hwota/update on your hard drive, the script will adb push the files to your phone.

Because if yes, exactly then it gets the wrong build name for me
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Seems u have a firmware not matching oeminfo.

Do you have oeminfo backup for original firmware?

Did it happen to u at sometime that when the flash complete and the phone do a factory rest with an error? If yes try to manually do factory reset from erecovery and flash again.

I have flashed twice to reband from L29C363 to AL00 but the build number is still "NRD90M test-keys". Is there any solution for this? Tks
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
It is odd behavior. Flashing twice is enough to success. Nrd90m means that ROM is not matched with meta-info (product, region, model and etc,)

Flash again. Just note: rebranding is complex process. You need flash TWRP to flash oeminfo, then flash modified recovery to force ROM onto new oeminfo. In some cases you should after that, flash same ROM again, but without rebranding.

Many people got success. Try again, may be you flash wrong rom.

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

In general - yes.

But you must have specific modified recovery, that can force update without authorization.

Did you unlock the TWRP screen before you connect to USB? Also check your windows driver while connected to TWRP
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
You should look into binary files.

Unfortunately, it is hard to me. First try I searched in script and config files. Didn't find anything changed cause modifications are not there :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Did. I'm using 'diff' so it only says if it's different when it comes to binaries :/

I did pm mankindtw though so I'll see if I can get an answer :) it doesn't really matter, only interested in where it checks.

Edit: Ah, it's using MHA-AL00 as base.

The only files differing are sbin/recovery and update-binary in the dload zip.

Only a few bytes in each, nothing obvious.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mevyn:

Ok people, this work now. My problem was the NORTON ANTIVIRUS.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah, you have to write to OP. Method uses TWRP to change oeminfo and change recovery to specific modified recovery.

Unfortunately, TWRP (definitely for Mate 9) can't flash stock roms. Huawei put rom blocks in one file (update.app). Stock recovery uses special function to read content from update.app and this function is only for Huawei, it is not in TWRP.

OK, we have TWRP, but why have to use modified recovery? Cause Huawei decided check every update for authorization. They post all roms in HiCloud (that is public), but may be they are too lazy, may be there are other circumstances, they don't want when people will install new roms before day X (release day). So, they post new rom and start update process to batch of phones (chosen by imei, imsi and other unique identifiers). If you are not in this pack - you are not authorised. After a few days they roll on next pack and then allow rom to all.

But we don't wanna wait, that's why we have modified recovery ;)

i did manage to rebrand and install version VTR-L09C432B150 but phone now says it is even B162 (or b163?) I am reflashing now because:

suddenly i have no service on my phone (emergency calls only) and in menu I have dual sim options (new)

several hours of stress now....

I just tried one more time same files... (emergency calls only)

now I wil try lover version,

next.... any ideas?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Make sure it says L09, and I think C432 has problems with getting mobile network if you rebrand. Not sure if its the same for L09 and L29. A sure bet is C636.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] marko-mb:
for sure there are problems. I tried lover version now and same.... next thing I will try L29 instead of L09....

dont know what to do ....

also... what does that mean: Rebrand flash twice. Select "Rebrand" update type on the first time, and select "Same model update" on the second time. You may need to do factory default to get all app installed.

I need to unlock bootloader again and flash one more time ?

edit:

I did try VTR-L29C432B151 and now my sim card is recognized...

I hope next OTA will be normal ..... since I dont want stress like this again :)
