Definitly B179
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Because B179 is the last verified one for the device. wait for the new Oreo-Update in March. You should get it via Systemupdate. No need to use FF, only i you can´t wait, cause as others manufactures Huawei rolls their updates out in waves.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyanbono:
Thank you
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DanKrv:
When I rebranded i got the B180 will I get the Oreo-Update via System update anyway?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tangoalfa:
Man!!! I don't know how you managed to get it right, but I followed your steps one by one, like bread crums, and it magically worked!!!!

I really don't know how to thank you!!! :good::good::good::good::good:

I really appreciate your effort and the sharing of your knowledge! I know have a VTR-L29B180 up and running!

hi,

I installed firmaware b179 via the last method Firmware Finder from b152. It worked and installed. But when I turned it back on it was still on B152. And now the "System Update" option in the Settings has disappeared. Anyone know why? what have I done to my phone?

I have tried resetting but still the same.

Any help? thanks

Knuckle Gestures

Is anyone having troubles or has had troubles with motion controls after rebranding, Knuckle gestures are not working since rebranding from VTR09 to VTR 29C432B179. Draw gesture, Smart screenshot and split screen not working. Motions are working. Any help would be appreciated. I have given it a good rap and pressed very firmly so I know it isn't applying more pressure.

Thanks

After many tries with the script and guide, finally managed to rebranded my VTR-AL00 to VTR-L29, bought the phone in China and wanted to rebrand it to the European version. The china version AL00 is slightly different from the European version in that it has emmc flash memory for its OEM info. A few steps of the script needed to be changed in order for the script to work.

1. Change the TWRP from twrp-3.1.0-0-vtr to twrp-3.1.1-0-vtr, you can download it from https://xdaforums.com/p10/development/testers-twrp-t3585256

2. Need to edit the HWOTA script and change these lines to change the flash addresses

Line 288 , change /dev/block/sdd5 to /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Line 318 , change /dev/block/sdd33 to /dev/block/mmcblk0p37

Line 319 , change /dev/block/sdd30 to /dev/block/mmcblk0p34

After that, follow the original instructions and everything should work. This is only to rebrand the chinese VTR-AL00 version as chinese versions of P10/P10+ has a special emmc flash memory, other versions don't need to make this change, I haven't tested it on the P10+ as I don't have a P10+ but it should be working for it too.

When i install the App and check the firmware with IMEI it tells me, my version is B161 (which is the reason for all this "debrad-thing" i am doing here).

So do i have to use B179 or B180 now, how should i know?

-EDIT-

meanwhile i found another guy asking the same and someone told him to use 179. So i did ...

running the script it tells me on some point

But the phone tells me

so i'm stuck here ...

-EDIT-

done full restore. Phone runs again.

Switched to next step. Trying

How long did you wait for first OTA update? I have rebranded my phone 14 days ago (my current soft is C432B180)... Thanks for answer! ;)
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] M1chiel:
I think a few weeks. It was quite some time ago and I use FF nowadays to update.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] netmaniack:
I have searched this topic but I dont undestand one thing. Today at last VTR-L29C432 Oreo showed up on FF. It is not approved for My device but I own VTR-L29C432, no rebrand, original device. Is it possible to use HWOTA to update manualy to it?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
I updated an previously Vodafone branded device that has been debranded to L29C432 yesterday and it works flawlessly. You just have to close the bootloader manually afterwards and switch off the OEM-Unlock in Developeroptions afterwards.

Proof
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] netmaniack:
Thank You, thats what I needed to know.

Hi, how did You manage to install Oreo for VTR-L29C432 via FF when there is no Full OTA-MF-PV file just FullOTA-MF and two OTA-MF?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Read more excatly, he asked me if you can do it with hwota? And i did it via hwota, of course the package isn´t signed yet, if you manually try ro flash it via ff.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 806ZR1DAN:
So it is manageable to upgrade to Oreo via HWOTA using just these files currently available from the FF? Sorry, I didn't know that, I'm sort of a new to HUAWEI since my previous phone was SAMSUNG. Thanks for the clarification, I will try to upgrade as You did.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maly82:
Would updating to Oreo with hwota not collide with new partition layout for Oreo OS?

I have rebranded to c432 and I'm on latest version of nougat (185). Firmware finder says my device is not approved yet via IMEI.

I think I need to wait a while to update. :(
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] choppy80:
For me it was the same, I did it with hwota, and Oreo is very fine. I lost only 8% for 1h sot....
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 806ZR1DAN:
Installed an Oreo with HWOTA and after bricking my device and spending whole night devoted to fixing the issue I managed to get to play with android 8 and it was worth the time and the nerves. Now what it's left for me to do is relocking the phone with stock recovery installation, I guess I will succeed in this effort as well all thanks to You guys from XDA.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fatjoez:
Why did it brick

How did you fix
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 806ZR1DAN:
It was bricked due to the fact that I didn't have micro sd so I was going on to solution to push the oreo to phone via pc and cable witch at one point got stuck. Then I tried to do it with usb via otg cable in recovery but it wasn't recognized and before I even plugged in the usb I deleted everything except cust in recovery and was left with nothing in device (how stupid of me). And, I was prepared to leave it to the service but before that I decided to give HWOTA one more chance also via pc and it worked :) I was more than happy setting up the device when up until the end of having my phone the way I want it to be I remembered that I didn't relocked the bootloader so went to do that and by so phone started lowlevel factory reset :( aaawh, cannot believe that, I have to set up phone again, it was frustrating but it was worth it... Basically all my fault, more or less, try not to make my mistakes and You are golden, plus You got Oreo :)

Hi,

i've tried to debrand a german vodafone P10 and choose a wrong oem info for my L09. After debrand i get the error only emergency calls, no sim detected, no service.

In case of NO Service or NO SIM detected, can be solved with TRWP (re)Backup of OEM Info to SD card. :

1. boot into TRWP

2. Backup to OEM Info to SD card

3. put SD card to PC

4. Download right one from here (in my case L29 instead of L09)

5. unzip, exchange and rename *.bin with backuped one

6. recover OEM Info

7. make wipe/dalvik cache

8. reboot

may someone has the same issue and don't want to become crazy :D
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lil_kujo:
does some body know how to recover the erecovery on the p10, tried to install the twrp oreo recovery and the update i went through the update and even boot to twrp but now it just seems stuck on th error mode screen, it boots in to fastboot mode and also i can flash the reocvery from oreo but it seems that my erecovery partition was damage, thankfully i have a spare phone but if i can recover this one i would apreciate the help, tried i cant get it to do factory reset at all so im sutck between fastboot mode and error mode its not able to go to ercecovery mode and now im unable also to go to recovery mode even after flashing the oreo twrp . model is vtr l09 c432, thanks
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
There actually 2 erecoverys on the device. Try other methods to boot to recovery first, see main post at the bottom.

If it doesn´t help you can flash the the recoverys via adb. you can extract the recoverys from the update.zip with this tool: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

Only use if you know what are you doing.

I would highly recommend just running hwota again, to ensure you have the firmware correctly installed. If you device boots and you modelnummer ist correct, just relock you bootloader and you will be back on stock recovery. To be complete just switch "OEM-Unlock" off in deveolper settings after that.

If you are not rebranding to l29 you should use other updates files in the hwota\update folder. But unfortnuately there are no Full_OTA files for the l09 available yet. At least on firmwarefinder: http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=vtr-l09c432&firmware_page=0

So you have the choices:

1. Wait for Full-OTA files for the l09 and replace the files in the updatefolder (make sure to rename them) or flash the 3 update files in correct order under TWRP

2. Use hwota and rebrand to l29

3. Replace the recovery with the ones from update.zip. Be warned you can mess up your device even more. So be really sure about what you´re doing.

If i had to it, i would use method 2.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tangoalfa:
I tried updating to Oreo on a VTR-L29C432B180 (downloading the 3 files for Oreo from the russian website cause mega won't allow me, renaming them, using the update.bat with unlocked bootloader and all the steps) and ended up in eRecovery. Then I could restart the phone and it booted up, but it was the same version (B180).

So still Nougat for me.

I used Same Brand Update. Should I use rebrand instead?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iFlashed:
So I don't know if I undertstood well.

If I want to force update to Oreo, and I'm currently on B180 rebdrand europe, do I have to RELOCK my bootloeader and unlock it again in order to update to Oreo? Why?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Cause you want the update before it has been officially signed by huawei, maybe? :o You tell me.

You can use the dload method instead, should maybe work, too.

You relock to during the hwota method and after the update you can/must relock the bootloader. Depends, if you want official updates over OTA, or you want to update manually.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
If you are have a L29, no rebrand should be necessary. As i mentioned in the post, it´s depending on a lot of factors. If you used the update from the hwota over usb, maybe try placing them on your sdcard, or use the dload method.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iFlashed:
So relock the bootloader is something optional?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lil_kujo:
Thank you for the answer, but the phone is ****ed up, some where in the process the partitions from erecovery got fu..k up ( i dont know if thats even posible). it all started when i tried to install the oreo update it went well it finsihed installing but then it wouldnt boot then i installed the twrp for oreo i guess thats where i broke it, it went into twrp serveral times tried to install the rom again from twrp but it didnt work, and then it got stuck with this error mode screen.( error 11 no recovery image-error 2 failed to load, it goes to fastboot and it still says phone is unlock and frp unlock, using the hwota doesnt work since it flashes the twro recovery but it gives a error stating that the length of the partition error mess. now even if i tried to fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk ...img it flashes the img but i doesnt go to recovery it goes directy to error mode is the same messages as before, tried to flash all the partitions one by one they flash but still it wont start, i dont know if its possible that the erecovery is f up some how but thats the only image not possbile to flash from fastboot. i mean im pretty sure it in deep waters now, i tried several methods and they dont work. basically im stuck between fastboot and error mode with 0 possibilty to get into erecovery mode. anyways if someone knows about this issues let me know. thanks
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Since there is no official twrp support for oreo yet and you are probably flashed the oreo firmware, i advice you reading this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/p10/how-to/android-oreo-updates-rollback-guide-t3733723

You can also try the dload with nougat service rom in force update mode, because you can´t access it via servicecode: https://translate.google.com/transl...re-huawei-p10-a-postup-instalacie-do-telefonu

So was able to recover the phone and update to oreo at the same time, took me the whole night but finally found a way. I tried trough twrp oreo and nothing seem to work dload way wasn't working. Still had the issue after trying all the methods possible. Since I was in oreo firmware I was able to boot to twrp even so it was hard to do so flashing the zip from twrp wasn't working and I would end up on the se screen tried to flash the hwota8 update zip and also it did work. Finally I decide to extract the img from the oreo update zip and flash the original recovery_ramdisk kernel, and ram disk through fastboot i relocked the bootloader turn on rescue mode using hisuite, unlocked the bootloader and flashed the mha_recovery_nocheck. Img reboot the devices and force update mode with volumen up and down i went to erecovery and flashed the ROM! I did have the update zips on my SD card in hwota8 folder.

Help needed

Hey,

I have rebranded successfully my VTR-L09C654 to VTR-L29C432, installed b185 via FF after imei check.

Recently, I received a new uptate popup (OTA) : Victoria-L29C432B180... When I tried to install it the phone felt in eRecovery on restart... Received the same update 2 more times afterward...

I thought I might have a soft issue so I tried to hard reset my phone, but when I go to settings to initiate hard reset, I still get to eRecovery and do not get the option to hard reset...

I have tried to reflash VTR-L29C432B185 in TWRP but got an error (do not remember which one though)... My phone is now unlocked, but I hesitate to relock the bootloader...

Does somebody had the same issue?

I'm quite noob to all this stuff... All I want is to hard reset my phone to start fresh. Any help will be appreciated!

Are you really sure, you rebrand correctly? what version does it show in settings-about? VTR-L29C432 or NRD90M.TEST.KEYS

When you see NRD90M.TEST.KEYS, did you do the hwota method twice? in order to rebrand correctly you have to do it twice. Otherwise your device will be branded to this nirvanaversion :cyclops:

It roll back very quick after that i followed this guide with files was able to upgrade and rebrand with hwota very quick in just one try super smooth. Happy camper. I couldnt do it before because that script uses the old twrp files to work so I had to downgrade the phone back to nougat to make it work and from there upgrade again.

I would check your files you downloaded. Sometimes zip files get errors when downloading on mobile data. I had few problems like this before. Make sure your WiFi has stable connection and try not to move your device much while downloading the file. Might help.

I have restarted the whole process and rebranded my already rebranded phone (VTR-L09C654 -> VTR-L29C432). The only way I could achieve this was to use HWOTA/Update folder from PC, even though my SDcard was fully working and had no errors.

This info might help others :)
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
As i said numeros times:

Sometimes the sdcard (depending on the brand and the fileformat) isn´t working, sometimes it´s the fault of cheap usb-cable or an usb-port (drivers or power of the usb-port).

That´s no problem of the script, just keep in mind that the updatefiles aren´t that small. So pushing some kb-sized files is working, but those big updatefiles are another league.

Also a lot of people forget to install the hisuite or at least the drivers that are needed. Also make sure hisuite isn´t running in the background. It might interfere the process.

Unlocking, relocking and using howta wipes the data in numerous of steps.

Backup your data and use google autofill and smartlock to speed up your "setting it up again" process.
