K, now we are talking. Only thing you can do is flash your rom back to stock the semi-official way:

Download the firmware finder from the playstore.

Search for your device (not the one you want rebrand to) and check with IMEI in Firmware Finder just to be sure. Here you have a guide: Firmware Finder Tutorial

If you prefer reading, you can also follow this: https://xdaforums.com/p10/how-to/guide-update-p10-via-firmware-finder-app-t3674477

Then you should be back to normal. When it´s finished you can try again, just be really sure following the steps and do no extra steps!! ....for Instance wiping something after you installed TWRP ;)

You can try the dload method instead, but i recommend doing it via firmwarefinder, simply cause it will work.

How it's possible to work with 2 Simcards and only one emei?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Not all carriers/providers use the IMEI for verification, just try, if it works good, if not, at least you have tried :fingers-crossed:. Maybe the other SIM is verified via MEID, as i said it depends on your carrier.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Floodland:
After rebranding a second Imei appears, with just a byte of difference regarding the original one.

All p10 have two Imeis, just crippled in 09 models for the will of greedy carriers around the world
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xormaster:
That is not true, only one IMEI is after rebranding from VTR-L09 to VTR-L29 available.

You can check it in the Test menu *#*#6130#*#* Phoneinformation > ABO1 and ABO2.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Floodland:
You are right. I confused MEID with the second IMEI. Still, both Sims work, even if they are from the same carrier, with the same IMEI.

Hello,

I have Canadian version of P10 (locked and unlocked to provider) it is supported one SIM. VTR-L09 4GB RAM and 32GB ROM.

Hi, I'm trying to rebrand from VTR-AL00 to VTR-L29. Everything was going well, until the installation of the update itself. The script gets stuck on 'Please wait for upload files and do not press any key.' if I try to install the update from my PC's disk and stops after having finished replacing the oeminfo if I attempt to install from a SD card. I would be grateful if someone could help me finish the process.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] eribs4e:
I'm in the same situation as you....Canadian version of P10 (C557). Did you attempt rebranding and if so were you successful?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Which version did you use? B180 or B179? Did you check with firmware finder first?

The upload to your device takes a long time, cause the files are big. How long did you wait?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Filal253:
First of all, please excuse any dumb things I might say, as this is my first time doing this.

In the firmwarefinder, no version matched both L29 and AL00, so I just decided to give one of the versions provided in the thread a try, and downloaded B179. Should I use a version that supports AL00 instead?

I waited for around 2 hours, furthermore, I checked in the code of the script and some other messages should appear when the files are being copied if I’m not mistaken. None of them appeared for me.

Thanks for helping.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
You should not try to use a version that isn´t approved for your phone. Maybe check some older versions. If you want to brand to l29, then you should only check for the this one, not for thr AL00.

Besides, did you already install the oreo update on your phone? If yes, be aware that the partionlayout has changed from nougat to oreo.

If you want to build it yourself just replace the 3 updates in the updatefolder with a version you can approve in firmwarefinder.

Simply check with firmwarefinder and imei and then download the version from here:

http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=vtr-l29c432&firmware_page=0

If you click on filelist, you can download the 3 parts of the firmeware and place them in the hwota\update folder. Be sure to rename them exactly as the files that were in that folder.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] eribs4e:
As per the instructions on the first page I was able to successfully rebrand my P10 from a VTR-L09C557B312 to the VTR-L29C432B179 firmware. The first run through I applied the update using option 2 of the script to "Rebrand" and then a ran the process a second time with option 1 for the "Same brand". Doing this twice was required so that the phone would be able to run the system updates going forward.

However, when I go into the system updates and search for a new update i get "No Updates" found. I know there are new updates for the device (C432B180). In fact there are a few versions of it. Any ideas as to what I'm missing? Phone appears to be functioning correctly otherwise.

---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

Found my answer. Even though the L29C432B180 is listed in FF, it has not been approved when i check via IMEI number. So it appears that all is working as it's supposed to. Once the B180 is approved, I'll test the system update to make sure it's working.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] J4G3D:
N00B attempting this great guide :)

Bootloader unlocked and the whole of step 1 done OK! including the backup.

Now im onto step 2 and, if i can get past this part i think i will be home dry.

My issue is:

I have VTR-L09C02

using HUAWEI firmware finder, the recommended firmware i can use is: VTR-L09C02B159

But I want to use VTR-L29 and im now confused as to which one of these I can use:

HWOTA_P10_B164

HWOTA_P10_B130

EDIT:

If i manually add the model VTR-L09C432 in the firmware finder (love this app used it a few times in the past)

Then do a search, B179 says its approved for my device.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] eribs4e:
My understanding is that if you rebrand an L09 to another L09 your sim card will not work (see first post of this thread). Therefore you HAVE to rebrand to a valid L29 firmware. The main advantage here is you will activate the second sim feature, even if you don't use it, there's no harm.

In order to find the valid firmware to download, us FF and add the VTR-L29C432 model and search. Validate the returned firmwares against your phone to find the most recent one that is allowed (use IMEI check). Make sure to use a "FULL" firmware and not an OTA one. I used the windows version of FF to download the files and put them in the appropriate location. Then follow the rest of the steps carefully.

I successfully rebranded my VTR-L09C557 to VTR-L29C432 last night with B179, but be sure to validate with FF to make sure you use a valid firmware.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] J4G3D:
Yeah the L29 B179 is confirmed on my device via FF.

Could i not continue the install of this via FF or do i need to follow the guide and download the B179 file from the OPS mega account?.

I've reached my download limit on mega as i use it to download all sorts. Have to wait 3 hours now.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] eribs4e:
L29C02B179 or the L29C432B179? If it's the L29C432 then you need to use the guide so the debranding steps will take place.

You can download the firmware files directly from Huawei using the PC version of FF (There's a FF thread on this site with the link, just search for it). Validate the firmware with your phone, then search and download it using the PC version.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] J4G3D:
Had numerous problems but got there in the end. The UPDATE.BAT finished like this:

https://i.imgur.com/Pui3oYT.jpg

Obviously it didn't finish properly. Also when i logged into my phone it said the following:

BUILD NUMBER: NRD90M test-keys

So i followed the process 3 times and it eventually is now working as L29.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
I work for a company that gets their phones from Vodafone, which are known for being lazy in deploying updates for their phones.

That said i testet a few devices with different cables and in different systems.

You always get NRD90M test-keys, if the updatefiles aren´t pushed correctly to device.

My tests showed that almost in any case the cables were the problem and if you use the orginalcable that came with the device, it sometimes a problem of your USB-controller or driver.

So i now recommend using a sdcard for the update. Simply copy the folder "update" to your sdcard. But this can also fail, if the sdcard is corrupted or a very cheap one, if not the update seems to be smoother and without errors.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] J4G3D:
Cheers.

Yeah it seems i got there in the end using a aftermarket cable and updating from the PC rather than SD card. It took numerous attempts.

Out of interest, can you get vodafone unlock codes? My shiney new L29 now needs unlocking lol.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] eribs4e:
Based on your screenshot above, you didn't let the script complete. When doing my phone, it hung up at that location for quite a while also, but eventually moved on and finished properly.

Either way, glad to see you got it sorted out!!
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:

I got this to work on my bricked P10. I got it to run but when i check phonr information it has wrong info. Like only 2gb ram and itd android 5.1 not 7.0
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] camp04:
Stucked

Hi guys, I am following the steps, but something is wrong. I got stucked and nothing happens.

.

.

.

2. Run the update.bat file from a preopended CMD with adminrights, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.

3. Now connect your device and Reboot into Bootloader mode using “Volume Down + Power” or just use “adb reboot bootloader” then press any key.

4. The above step will install TWRP in your device.

5. Now Disconnect USB Cable and turn off your device and use “Volume Up + Power” to enter TWRP.

6. Once you’re in TWRP mode, plug in the USB cable again and press the Enter key on your computer.

And here at Step 6

- I am in TWRP mode

- mobile is connected to the PC via USB cable

- update.zip and the other 2 zip is on SDCard in HWOTA folder and of course renamed.

- I also have the zip files on my PC in HWOTA/update folder

Here is the screen what I can see and I have waited here 30 mins, pressed a couple of times ENTER too, and tried to disconnect the phone and start again in TWRP recovery and connected again... nothing seems to work.

I have tried also to flash the update.zip and other in TWRP but then I receive an ERROR: 9 message. More information about that here: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/error-9-flashing-update-zip-t3732838/page3#post75159049 and on page 1.

Any suggestions?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] J4G3D:
In the end i used a ebay seller for 4.90 GBP and it worked a treat.

Probably much cheaper than DC unlocker.

Cant unlock Bootloader

Hi all,

Hopefully someone might be able to help please?

I have done all the prerequisites from post 1, however when i run adb devices whilst my VTR-L02C09 is in normal running I can see me device, when i run adb reboot boot loader, no problem either, phone reboots in to fastboot&rescue mode fine.

Now this is where I run into issues, phone is detected in win 10 device manager as Kedacom USB Device - Android Bootloader Interface (28/08/2016 11.0.0.0) but when i run adb devices at this stage, no devices are found and i cant send the unlock key to my handset.

USB debugging is enabled, as is oem unlock too.

I have tried all the USB ports on my PC, 2 cables (1 original) and tried loads of different USB drivers to no avail.

Also have factory reset my phone to see if that helped, it didn't

Can anyone see what if anything I can be doing wrong ?

Thanks

Android Oreo Beta

Hi all,

Do successfully rebranded from VTR-L09C02 to VTR-L29C432179 then with the help of Firmware Finder updated to B180, then I used the Huawei Beta app to try and see if I could get onto the Oreo Beta, but the app says I can't participate in any current projects, make sure your phone and software version meet the requirements.

Have I missed something, as I thought B180 was the correct version to get the beta.

Guys, just a question. I made a nandroid backup on my sd before rebranding so if I want to rebrand back to the original oem all I have to do is restore the backup from twrp. But will this revalidate my warranty? Or it is forever lost?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Since you unlocked you bootloader to do this and your backup is also unlocked, your warranty is void.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Check with firmwarefinder and imeo to verify which version you need. Don´t check with the version you have, check with the version you want to rebrand to. In your case this will be VTR-L29c432. There is no working method to rebrand without unlocking the bootloader. After rebrand you get ota via huawei. But remember, huawei rolls updates out in waves, when it´s available it doesn´t mean you get it directly. If you can´t wait use FF again to trick huawei updatepolicy.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Mine to, what do you want android 8.0?!? Then you have to wait :)
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Yes, you get the updates via OTA, if you can´t wait use FF.

hi guys, I'm a bit noon with Huawei devices so I'm sorry in advance. I currently have a P10 locked to Vodafone (C02) I have my bootloader unlocked and twrp installed. for me to rebrand I just need to download a FOTA (all 3 files) from C432 and flash them in order in twrp right?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maly82:
Just wandering is unlocking bootloader in order to rebrand phone does not disable some of the functions of a phone. I know when unlocking Sony phones could break camera capabilities.

I noticed significant drop in battery life after rebranding from stock original VTR-L09GBRC to VTR-L29432. Before I was able to last a day and a half with no charging. Now I need to use charger every night.

My original firmware was on version 152 this one is 180. I like to have latest security patches from Google, but I guess it comes with poorer battery life.

Maybe unlocking bootloader switch "machine learning" off.

Does anyone had same experience?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
From point of view, there are no disavantages. Quite contrary, you gain the option to use a second sim, get updates more often and don´t have the bloatware from your carrier.

Battery stays the same. If you have poor battery life, make sure that it isn´t an app floating in the background and using up your battery :o

REBRAND VTR-AL00 to VTR-L29

I could rebrand my VTR-AL00 to VTR-L29

These are the steps that I follow:

NOTES:

- I recommend you to use Windows 10. It doesn´t produce any bug.

-Follow the Step 1 from here https://xdaforums.com/p10...guide-t3691013

1) Download the update package from here https://xdaforums.com/mat...ckage-t3593108 (Direct uncompress Base, OS, and P10 zips without file name as directory.)

2) It´s important to have this version of TWRP --> twrp-3.1.1-0-vtr.img . Once you have rename it to twrp-3.1.0-0-vtr.img and put it in HWOTA\recovery\VTR (replace the version that is in there)

3) Then change hwota.sh as zhjc1124 says here https://xdaforums.com/p10...ooted-t3659636

4) Now run the script. It´s important to select the update folder source because if you don´t, it doesn´t works.

So put your 3 updates files (update, hw and public) in HWOTA\update

5) If at the final of the script your phone enters in recovery mode those are good news! Now you have to run the script again but this time select update instead of rebrand

6) In case your firmware would rebranded in a different version like "Onyx D188", DON´T PANIC, it happens sometimes. To solve this problem just download another

update files and change them with the old ones (remember: HWOTA\update). So now run the script again and select rebrand (In case you need run the script again in update mode) and that is all.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pd.Chal:
i try your method, but im stuck
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] radex2000:

If your phone entered in recovery mode close the script and reboot your huawei. Then run the script again but now select update (remember to choose the update folder source).

Anyone has an idea if it is safe to install this firmware using Firmware Finder.

I am currently on VTR-L29C636B172. It's the latest approved for installation from firmware finder.

Then I tried checking on Firmware Finder the VTR-L29C432B185 FULLOTA-MF 2018.0.1.17. It says that it is approved for installation (with IMEI).

I was wondering if it is perfectly fine to install the firmware, given that my phone comes with the C636 firmware, and the one I am to install is C432?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do like to apologize if I may sound noob. Since I've been out of the Android Ecosystem for quite a while now.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yuriksat:
No, it is not safe to install as C636 means Global region and C432 - Europe. You have to re-brand it first, following the instructions from this thread, or wait until C636 firmware is approved for your device.

Depends, if yo want working sim, no and if you not then no :)

I can´t complain about the update policy from huawei, in comparison to other brands there are very fast with updates.

Keep in mind that they are working on the oreo-update for the p10 and so they might less updates for nougat. Also keep in mind, that you can´t compare the version from device to device.

For instance ab B179 for the l29 might never than a B180 for the l09.
