Hi everyone!

So i was able to rebrand my phone VTR-L09 to VTR-L29C432B180 with a bit of complication but nothing major, thank you for the tutorial, now there is something that it still not clear to me, as per the guide:

When i check systemupdate, there is no update available, but i see in firmware finder that there new ones available for my phone that are compatible (as per IMEI check), how can i get OTA on my phone? it is still not clear to me.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] virusdunil:
Is there a way someone can provide the system.img for that Oreo ?

YES extract it with Huawei Update Extractor (disable CRC in settings)

is there a recovery.img in Oreo ?

cant extract it with update extractor... have to disable CRC in settings

all was running fine till i played with build.prop file

tried noumerous things to recover the P10 but...no luck

thanks

EDIT... i managed to extract system.img but get error ...

fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img... error: cannot load 'SYSTEM.img'

ive flashed SYSTEM.img but with android studio/sdk tools ;)

P10 FIXED...by just flashing KERNEL.img.......WARNING... DONT PLAY WITH build.prop FILE

Hi, for the life of me I can't make my VTR-AL00 boot into TWRP. It has EMUI 8.0, maybe that's the problem? It also doesn't have the "OEM Unlock" option in the developer settings.

[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenicas:
Hi. I have an interesting problem. I was on fRom, but my phone somehow thought it was some device on android 5.1 and EMUI 3 instead of EMUI 5.1. Everytime I try to use this method, I go through the process to rebrand the phone to VKY-L29C432 (this is my phone's original model) with no problems at all, and system update runs completely in eRecovery, but when I boot I find nothing has changed at all except the bootloader is now locked. I have tried this a million times now. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Are we supposed to have OTA updates after rebranding? I rebranded my P10 from Chinese version to European. With VTR-L29C432B180 there was no way to update (it was always stuck), I had to force it with Firmware Finder wich is backup + hard reset :(

I did that already, opened cmd with admin rights and cd / to location then opened file and nothing :( just closed straight away.. Maybe file is corrupt?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Then check with the provided MD5-Hash :).

A batch is just a textfile, if you can edit it and it shows you gibberish, then somethings wrong.

Just downloaded my file again to check for corruption, everythings fine. So it seems the problem is on your side.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
No, you don´t need to rebrand, just use update in hwota and you will be fine. Because your just updating, one flash is enough.

Just keep in mind you have to reopen the bootloader and in this case the device makes factory reset, so save your data first.

or,id better restore to original boot/kernel ?

also,in firmware finder,i see L29-------C180 dated from 26th and 804mb...

is that update for the 360 that i have now ?... if so,if i dont see it in update manager,is it cuz im rooted and custom kernel ?

thanks aaaagain ;)

EDIT:...I think theres a more suitable update for the 360...named 365 from 21st... If i check with IMEI it says not suitable... (is cuz im from L09 canada/Rogers) and im re branded L29 ?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lil_kujo:
If you wanna update via firmware finder then try the proxy way, even tho if your IMEI not ready for the update it wont update so it's better if you install the nocheck recovery for vtr and then download the update and force it to update via three button method . If not you will recieve your update till Huawei releases the update for you IMEI batch.

[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Seems you placed the hwota in some directory where your current user has no full rights. Try placing the hwota folder on root of your C-Partition (e.g. C:\hwota).

If that doesn´t work try another pc, it still could be a cygwin-bug.

I have a VTR-L09C432 on B185, but on Firmware Finder, the only B380/B385 that say they're approved with my IMEI are the VTR-L29C432 firmwares. Will I need to rebrand for this firmware, or will it work straight away?

Thanks
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
No you don´t have to, because you already have the stockphone.

Just use replace the files in hwota\update with this ones and rename them correspondingly:

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G2323/g1699/v125418/f1/full/update.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...18/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...l/VTR-L09_hw_eu/update_full_VTR-L09_hw_eu.zip

When the running the script choose "update" instead of "rebrand".

Maybe in your (norebrand-)case it´s better to use the update procedure from Jannomag:

Hello! I've been trying to rebrand my Huawei P10, which is a VTR AL-00 version that I got as a gift while in China, to the VTR L29. I've been able to get through all of step one, with the exception of not being able to find the OEM Unlock option even after accessing Developer Options. Despite that, I've got TWRP installed and can boot to that. I'm just struggling with Step 2.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
There are other users who did unbrand their AL-00, just PM them.

If i remember correctly you must alter the script also, because AL-00 has a different partionlayout.

Just search in this thread for the answers.

Can this method be used for L09C432B120? I can't find the firmware for B120 anywhere. Should I use L29C432B360 instead?

Thanks
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] WILMANS2M:
B120 is the firmware version. C432 is for international version. L09 is single sim. L29 is dual sim. Both is compatible. B120 to B180 is Android Nougat (for L29 as L09 got B202 vers). B360 is Android Oreo.

Hello Community, a quick question.

I debrandet my L09 (Single SIM, German Provider) Nougat to L29 (C432), dual sim is working great.

But in the Settings the Model is the same L09 but dual sim is working. ?

Now i want to Update to Oreo. So i can flash the C432B365 L29 or?

I only ask because in the settings the model is still L09 but Dual Sim works. Is this unimportend?

[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Put the hwota folder in the root of c: (c:\hwota).

If you try to run from c:\progam files\hwota for instance, the script doesn´t have the rights to create the tmp-folder.

Also remember to run cmd with right-click "run as admin".

[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] M1chiel:
Apparently Huawei discontinued the possibility to unlock bootloaders. In a tweet, FunkyHuawei suggested that this is because too many users bricked their phones. Hopefully this is only a temporary situation.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
For F**k sake. They already strechted my nerves after releasing the P20 without sdcard-option, no longer flat backside no headphones jack (even aptX sucks in comparison to the headphonejack and i won´t carry this adapternonsense with me).

First i was using Samsung devices, than LG and Huawei, which all are now ruined cause they cut specs, like no QI and non removable battery.

I already gave up hope, that future devices have a removable battery. But no sdcard, no headphonejack and no qi and those pesky glasspanels (without QI) on the back which break and suck fingerprints?!?

Seems my next phone will the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2s. At least they are the only firm, who don´t cut features and make their phones actually better from generation to generation. The glass panel at least makes sense, because it has buildin QI.

I hope it stays that way, otherwise smartphones are way more dead than declared. For obvious reasons.

Thanks Huawei for nothing and thank you idiots who break the phones by their own fault and blame huawei for that by demanding warranty.

i will no longer maintain the thread, till Huawei comes to senses (or there are less idiots, which will of course never happen)!

Thanks, cheers and till hopefully soon.

Sadly the temp page is a dissappointment. They might say 24hrs but it's a joke. Apparently they can only fill a limited of number of requests per week. Or at least that's the reason they give. Oh well, OEMs breaking promises is the only reliable thing they do.

Update from a recent live chat:

Tech support:

What happened is that in the European region many users unlocked the bootloader and were not able to use the device properly because they modified the ROM settings and software and wanted the repair center to give service.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattintoronto:
Ok cool cats I got the idea from a comments section and it worked so I thought it should post it here. Contact Huawei via live chat on the UK site. They'll ask for your info and get back about 24hrs later with the code. Hope this helps. No chance with the north america sites.

Many thanks for the guide Lwanna.

FYI, I've just done a Oreo (VTR-L29C635B360) to Oreo rebrand using your HWOTA bundle and the guide in the Mate 9 thread.

Just so people are aware, for me the process doesn't work exactly as outlined in that thread:

- Repack.bat threw one error/warning ('function not supported' or similar) during execution, but indicated that the script had run OK at the end. I decided to risk proceeding with using the repacked files and they worked OK.

- The bootloader didn't re-lock at any point in the process, and I didn't need to re-install TWRP except at the end of the process.

- I didn't need to perform the 'downgrade' procedure a second time - in fact, the eRecovery installer threw an error when I tried to (maybe because of the unlocked bootloader?). Does anyone know what the second flash achieves that a factory reset doesn't?

I was bit sceptical that this would work, but everything seems to be running OK.

My fault was:

1. Download: [MENTION=2645378]AndroidFileHost[/MENTION]: HWOTA8_P10_B369a (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: fd330a74d22d2ef55a02bfcfdcea33ee )

All important files are inside this package!!

2. The steps for the this procedure are described here:

https://xdaforums.com/mat...ckage-t3699522

....

Rebrand

A. Put Put hwota8_rebrand.zip and "OEMINFO.bin" (From HWOTA) into SDCard HWOTA8 directory.

the VTR-L29C432.bin has to be renamed to OEMINFO.bin in step REBRAND.... i always did this with the .bin named like in the downloaded package... Maybe someone can edit this step / put in the info to rename the VTR-L...bin to OEMINFO.bin.

Another question: is it possible to lock the bootloader or do something else to get updates from huawei over the Settings menue again?

Thanks in advance!

As long as you keep the OEMinfo backup, you will be able to unbrick your phone, look for guides on xda there are plenty of them. Good luck!

This procedure is authentic and works! I did this with the procedure 2 months ago. I've collected the information I've just read from the Internet.

I had a Vodafone L09C 1 sim card device. Now there is a L29C432 2 sim card.

It was like having stopped during the procedure or did not boot from Twrp, I had to restart.

Perhaps a more stable solution is to copy a firmware to an SD card.

Thanks LwannaCM for someone here to summarize and describe it!
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
I didn´t have to relock my bootloader on this device, i only did on other devices from lg and motorola.

There only 9 possible solutions left :victory: :

1. Flash the VTR_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img (in the hwota\recovery\vtr) you downloaded from here via fastboot. It a modified recovery and should work.

2. Create a flashable stock recovery.zip. There are plenty of tutorials on the net. Remember after you done that and it fails you have overwritten the twrp recovery and maybe no options at all !!!

3. Try putting the already downloaded stock rom (update.app) in dload folder and start your device by pushing all 3 buttons at once (Volume UP, Down & Power) Here a videotutorial

4. Ask "mankindtw" here on xda kindly, because he´s the creator of the script and maybe has a solution.

5. Go via funkyhuawei.club, but you have to pay for that. They know what they are doing.

6. Search the web or on xda for a solution. i think your are not the only one with this problem. Just google your failure codes, there are plenty of entrys for that. :eek:

7. https://xdaforums.com/p10/help/tutorial-recovering-p10-p10-brick-t3600211

8. Try this tool: https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923

9. Try this tool, when it doesn´t do the job and mankindtw has no solution i´m out of options: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial

I have debranded around 10 phones (Vodafone VTR-L09C02) for my company with this script and never had any problems, except that sometimes at the end the phone won´t reboot itself or twrp won´t be started automatically, but that itself was no biggie.

I am uploading an older version (B130) right now (you´ll can find it in the mainpost soon. After you fixed your device, use this one instead, because the bugs where not as frequent as in new version B164. As glehel mentioned putting the 3 roms on sdcard first will help a lot, cause pushing GB´s over fastboot is not always a good thing.
