[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] matt4321:
I, like a lot of UK users, are looking to rebrand to EU variants. From what I understand CLT-L29(C432) firmwares can be installed on CLT-L09(C432)? I'm currently CLT-L09(C782) and want to become CLT-L09(C432) so I can get EU updates. I'm not fussed about dual SIM and want to stay unlocked. If I use FHP20Tool on my CLT-L09(C782) it will become CLT-L09(C432) correct and the bootloader will stay unlocked? When it then comes to getting updates can I use the normal OTA method when an update is available, having changed the region and the bootloader being unlocked won't make a difference? Or must I use the FH firmware flash method? If FH firmware flash method is used, what are the implications on data and bootloader, will it wipe data or relock the bootloader? I hope that's clear, Huawei devices are confusing.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
We don't offer CLT-L09 as an option to change to.

If you use FHP20Tool you can choose CLT-L29. It will not be converted to dual sim, and the bootloader can be unlocked again with the same code (it will stay unlocked). However the model will show as CLT-L29 despite being single sim.

You should expect to lose your data. In actuality you may or may not.

You can still get OTA updates.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scook94:
[MENTION=4393511]matt4321[/MENTION] to add to what is above, flashing new FW using the FH method won't wipe data.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] matt4321:
Thanks!

Are you doing the same then? CLT-L09(C782) to CLT-L29(C432)? Are you doing just the rebrand or converting to dual SIM too?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scook94:
Yeah definitely going to move to C432, just not sure which option to go for.

I'm minded to go for the full conversion to Dual SIM, it's probably not a feature I'd use but it may be worth it especially if it helps resale value (I've ordered a dual SIM tray already). Only drawback I see is that you'd be locked into waiting for OTA or using credits to upgrade FW with FunkyHuawei (to be fair this is how I've always done it with my p10+ and now P20 Pro). If I use the other method then you have other options for upgrading FW and can still root/TWRP (something I haven't bothered doing with my last 3 phones, so not really a concern).
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] matt4321:
Yeah it's hard to weigh up the best option. My main thought on going to Dual SIM is that as it locks the device there isn't any way back to CLT-L09(C782) should I need to for warranty or anything.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scook94:
Trying the full conversion. Think it may have gone tits up though! :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] matt4321:
Let us know how it goes!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grancapitan:
Why do not you say that after the rebrand the bootloader is blocked, because your clients would be much less and you could bleed them as those who have blocked it without having warned us?

Because you get good money for every time we use your services.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
With FHP20Tool the bootloader remans unlocked, the phone does not change to dual sim, the unlock code stays the same.

With FHP20SingleToDual the bootloader unlock code changes (as a result the bootloader is locked). This is mentioned on the site.

Currently there is no way to know the new code. In the future, when we are able to do operations with locked bootloaders for newer Huawei devices (many things changed with introduction of P20) we will be able to offer more.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grancapitan:
In this forum, you can, I have not read it, but not in your instructions, which is what we read those of us who have used your tools.

And do not talk about the future, it's very easy, I talked about fixing it in the present, without having to continually resort to your tools (paying, every time, that we use them).
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Generally we recommend buying a pass so that you don't need to pay every time you use the tools. Credits are available for those who need to do operations for multiple phones.

The instructions include the following text:

(Note: Bootloader will be locked and bootloader code will change after using single to dual tool.)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scook94:
There are other ways to rebrand and upgrade your device without having to pay, just search this forum. If you decide to use FunkyHuawei then yes you pay, but it is a value added service as they provide excellent support (I know this first hand), So dry your eyes, you have options.

It's entirely up to you to do your research and understand ALL implications before you attempt to modify your phone in any way!

---------- Post added at 14:24 ---------- Previous post was at 14:20 ----------

Job done! Had some issues, but FH were able to resolve those quickly! If you decide to go ahead and use FH make sure you do it at a time where their support are not asleep! ;)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grancapitan:
I do not cry, do not worry, but I fight for my rights and I like to BE TOLD OF ALL, ABSOLUTELY ALL, THE "SECONDARY EFFECTS" WHEN I PAY FOR A SERVICE (there are the files with the instructions and I WOULD CHANGE THE CODE BUT IN NO ONE OF THEM DOES THE BOOTLOADER BE BLOCKED AFTER REBRAND).

And I paid the services because the other rebrand manual, LIKE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FORUM, did not work for us, thanking us anyway (BECAUSE I VALUE AND RESPECT THE OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE AND I DO NOT RIE OF THEM) their work.

Sorry, the moderators, for the capital letters but I get very angry with those who do not respect me.

Now I will continue with the preparation of my trip for tomorrow, for that reason I did not answer you, duly, before.

If you need to cry, I can send you a clinex if you want.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scook94:
[MENTION=5944790]Grancapitan[/MENTION] just an FYI, respect has to be earned.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Has anyone who's used this "service* who already had their bootloader unlocked, been able to re-unlock it?

If not then there is a very real problem here which should be addressed.

[MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] can you answer that please, your service is extremely expensive and I think with no warning about this at a time when the bootloader being unlocked is being stopped by Huawei you have an obligation to inform your customers.

Bare in mind that developers who develop ROMs and mods do so for free and carry no risk to the dev as it's a free offering.

What you offer is an actual service so the users become customers, meaning you have a duty of care towards them.

If the rumours are true and the bootloader cannot be re-unlocked and you've not shown due care then I would call that negligence.

Can you clarify this please...

PS : I de-branded my own device and wrote an updated version of a tutorial for others, I have not paid for funkys service nor would I, but I think people should have a right to know.

FYI: this is a thread below this one

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/bootloader-code-changed-funky-hauwei-t3799460

It clearly shows people with no way back, if this was me I'd be upset and would want the cost back to cover a new phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have not been able to re unlock.

There was no warning about this. This should be clear and in capitals. AFTER BOOTLOADER CODE IS CHANGED IT MAY/MAY NOT BE UNLOCKED AGAIN.

This statement would of actually stopped me using it considering after researching more about C432 I definately should have gone to that instead of just switching to dual UK.

Support I found hit or miss, sometimes helpful other times they just ignore emails.

Currently I have 5 credits and if I had another 2 I could attempt it again if I can find a new code. However the minimum buy is 5 credits for about £30 which is an absolute rip off. There is no chance in hell that this service is worth that much money.

Also the tool I needed to use cost 7 credits. Again, no option to buy 7 credits and I had to buy 8 therefore wasting money.

Overall even though the service is good and does what it says, I agree with quoted post that the 'seller' has shown negligence and should be answering these questions considering huawei are no longer offering bootloader codes. I feel that the service is a rip off.

Hopeful that in a few months there will be some sort of All in one tool for this phone that can deal with it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kaiowas82:
I don't understand, they clearly say that. if you rebrand from single to dual your bootloader code will change.

Do they add this info later on? if so i haven't noticed it.

In the first case it's only your negligence in getting informed about what you're doing.

In the second case, their fault.. they should think of some refunds.

But anyway, what i found hilarious is people the want a different bootloader code, providing the same info.

It's a mathematical algorithm, same input same output.

my 2cents
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
That's not the point.

The point is people have been unable to unlock their bootloader after using this service.

If it was accurately stated and what the outcome would be, I think you can safely say there would not be half as many paying for the service.

So glad I didn't touch it, without the bootloader unlocking I would not want this phone i would have to sell, I need root for what I use, it's that simple.

So warned of changes to be made? Sure but was it clear?? I'm guessing not with the amount of people complaining.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grancapitan:
That's why I have a PayPal claim for this issue. Reporting partially (informs that you change the unlock code but not that you block the bootloader) is the same as not reporting. All this is done so that we continue paying in case of problems with the terminal (of course: forget to take the phone to Huawei).

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lombes:
Any ideas what will happen after Huawei stops the bootloader unlock page?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Once the bootloader unlock page stops, nothing will change immediately. Those who can unlock their bootloader can still rebrand. Regardless of bootloader state, anyone can still update with eRecovery method.

In the future we hope we will be able to support rebranding and unbricking tools with locked bootloader, like we have for the older Huawei phones. But we don't have an ETA of when that will be.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I hope soon, but can't be sure.

Did you rebrand to dual SIM?

And you can unlock your bootloader??
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 1nS4n3:
Mine was CLT-L29 with Demo Retail rom. After flashing custom rom, the model remain with retail emui. From here and i could enable ADB OEM unlock and booted in fastboot to unlock bootloader. I could rebrand using XDA tutorial explained in detail here but is ok with demo emui for now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ah I see, then yes you wouldn't have had a problem there.

Not a rooting related Q (though it might be):

Can the stock camera app be configured to write both jpeg and RAW files, and RETAIN this config for when it is quick-launched?

On the Samsung S7 you can't do that. To get RAW you have to select PRO mode but there is no way to quick-launch the camera app in PRO mode. And none of the 3rd party camera apps can be quick-launched... I am sure there is a way with a rooted phone (my S7 is) but you then can't use google pay (well, not without some complicated hacks).

Also, on a rooting topic, does this root method work with google pay? My rooted S7 actually worked for google pay for about a year before stopping... a real mystery!

Hi, if you use FHP20SingleToDual, bootloader will be locked, dual Sim will work, and OTA? WHat about OTA? Does it work after Rom Flash?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] subhani:
You say you should have converted C432 and not UK. I have the following questions for my EE locked L09 P20 Pro:

- Does converting to dual sim actually enable the use of two sim cards? Has anyone confirmed this? (I now have the OEM dual sim tray I ordered online)

- Do I also need C432 instead of the UK 7xx, to get full dual sim functionality?

- Does the above process void warranty?

- Can I still receive OTA?

Any help will be hugely appreciated. I am loving this phone coming from a Google Pixel XL and this functionality would make the phone even better!

- If I want .130 update, do I need to pay for every new firmware released by Huawei?

Hi,

I have a CLT-L09 rebanded to CLT-L29 (BN: CLT-L29 8.1.0.128 C432). Can I use FHP20SingleToDual tool now to get DualSim? Does OTA work after Rom Flash?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Yes, you can.

There's nothing to stop OTA from working, but it depends on Huawei pushing you the OTA.

So far even rebranded devices have received OTAs, but you never know which you will and won't get. Depends entirely on Huawei's rollout.

If you want to install a specific version at a specific time, you can use FunkyHuawei to do it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
1. Yes, it has been confirmed. It definitely enables the use of two sim cards.

2. You need to choose C432, but you can install the C782 firmware even having chosen the C432 branding.

3. Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty. After the tool is used the bootloader is shown as locked. The warranty may or may not be usable, but I haven't heard of people turned away. It depends on your local Huawei's policy.

4. Nothing stopping you from receiving OTA, but it's up to Huawei.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] David Horn:
Just used FH to rebrand from UK single-SIM to European dual. Went without a hitch, only one flash needed despite instructions saying two may be needed. All seems to work well.

FYI, the eRecovery firmware download took hours on a 100Mb connection. It will work, just give it time. Bootloader now permanently locked, but FH reckon they'll find a way to generate the codes in the future.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Gyre8:
Thanks David. Can I ask which firmware variant you used to rebrand from C782 to European Dual please?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] andywright1982:

Set up your computer as a hotspot using Windows 10 hotspot feature, then disable ipv6 and change DNS on all network interfaces.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] subhani:
I cannot change my DNS settings on my router. It has no option.

What is the hotspot method? I have looked at your website for this and the instructions are confusing. How do I disable ipv6 and change the DNS on all network interfaces? What does this even mean? I know the DNS server addresses that you guys want me to input are 213.202.238.238 and 1.2.3.4. I have it memorised. But I do not know where to input these details after enabling windows 10 hotspot.

Edit. It seems I've managed to rebrand my EE provided single sim P20 Pro from L09c7xx to L29c432, from fw .110 to .130.

Now I need help on how to use the dual sim tool to convert from single to dual. I can't find any instructions anywhere. Anyone done this? Where should I look?

Edit 2: I have now successfully rebranded my UK EE provided single SIM P20 Pro stuck on .110 to an EU unbranded fully functional dual SIM variant now on .131! I have to admit, it wasn't easy. But with the ebb and flow of emails back and forth woth FH and lots of patience and faith, it worked without a hitch. This is coming from a guy who hasn't rooted or unlocked a device in the last three years. So I was very rusty and nervous, to say the least.

The service is expensive but if you're a noob like me, then it just works. You do lose bootloader unlocking functionality, as a result too. Which was of no interest to me for my needs. I now have a fully network unlocked (via third party paid site), fully working dual SIM up to date P20 Pro with the genuine dual SIM tray part.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stevo_125:
Hi,

So i've been considering doing the same as you have with my EE supplied handset, but i'm worried about losing VoLTE (4g calling) and Wi-Fi calling if flashing non-UK firmware. Have you found these to still work after rebranding to 432?

Could you possibly share a brief outline of the process please?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] subhani:
I see options for WiFi calling still in the settings menu and is enabled. I'm assuming Volte is just a reference to browsing the web whilst on a call simultaneously? That also works.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

@duraaraa is there someplace where we can regularly check or get notified for the latest firmware for our model or do we manually go to the FH website to check the list?

Will you be announcing on this thread?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
Hi,

Any news from the locked bootloader rebranding option?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stevo_125:
Hi,

Thanks for getting back - so here is the easiest way to confirm the two things, If you wouldn't mind:

Wifi calling:

There is an option under "notifications and status bar" called "display carrier name" if WiFi calling is working then this will display "EE Wi-Fi calling" in the top left of the notification area. if it is NOT working it will just display "EE"

VoLTE: voice calls over 4G . The test is this: Turn off WiFI, make sure you are somewhere where you phone shows "4G" or "LTE", then make a call (I normally use 450 - EE for this) if the signal indicator stays on 4G, then VoLTE is working, if it changes to "3G" or "H" then it is not working. Note checking internet access whilst in a call is not enough, as the phone could be calling and connecting to the net over 3G.

Appreciate the feedback if you have time,

Steve
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] subhani:
