No I get ctsProfile: false and basicIntegrity: false

I might have done something wrong along the lines as I could not boot the phone after fastbooting Magisk image and had to back track.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I'm currently using 5.4.0 which has been spot on up to now, with the new one it'll work then just go back to the home screen, no error.

Give 5.4.0 a shot

It's not the sim tray. I got p20 pro dual sim tray but same result. Someone was saying he'd working dual SIM by funky. Buy locked bootloader. Not gonna bother to pay that much money for dual sim and get locked maybe for forever.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] doromax:
The sim tray holder for P20 Pro and Mate 10 Pro are similar but not compatible. I explain. I buyed a sim tray holder for Mate 10 Pro because in april there wasn't one for P20 Pro. So I saw the pictures and they was very similar, a lot ! But there are 2 things to say :

1- Mate 10 Pro sim tray holder is about 15 millimeters longer than P20 pro, so sim tray holder goes out from phone of these 15 millimeters and you can break it ( for sure!).

2- The good thing is that the inner part is equal to P20 pro, so if you have 2 sim you can try to use tha Mate 10 Pro sim tray holder to test the functionality of both 2 sim !! for the reason I said before, Only to test .

If you use this method (@tolove4) you will obtain always just one working sim (as I said 1k times)!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adieSA:
Yeah I saw your post. It's the reason I ordered the mate Pro Sim tray. Anyway I guess the only way to get the dual Sim to function is to use the funkyhuawei method. Definitely not going to pay that much money.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
In regards to the sim tray, what about modifying the one you've already got? Or buy another single SIM one and modify that.

Pretty sure besides the bar going across the size is accurate, much more than a different devices SIM tray would be.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sajibcy:
It's just around £2 and it came fairly quick. Around 9-10 days. I got mine from here
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] matt4321:
I'm pretty sure this method doesn't allow for dual SIM even though we see the menu.

I saw when you do it with FunkyHuawei you get 2 IMEIs and this is what causes the bootloader issue, it doesn't know which one to read. We still have only 1 IMEI, it's just we're running a firmware that allows it hence we see the dual SIM menu
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] doromax:
With only 1 IMEI you can use two different sim. Also of two different operators.

Where IMEI is operator lock (USA [emoji631] or China [emoji630]) you must have 2 different IMEI.

Original P20 pro Asia have two IMEI.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djndk:
So i read most of this posts. to understand: at the moment there are two options. The funkeyhawei , where i will change from 09 to 29 , have 2 imei's , i will be able to use 2 sim cards, but i will loose the ability to add bootloader which makes it impossible to do custom stuff on my mobile in the future . (Regular firmwareupdates will work)

The other method is from [MENTION=279756]tolo[/MENTION]ve4 where i change to 29, but it only does like it is one, opens the menu to see the point but i still will have only one imei and not be able to use 2 sim cards, even if it is allegedly possible to use 2 sim with one imei?

do i get this right?

i want to change to 29 to be able to use 2 sim cards. one for data and one for telephone. if i do the funkyhuawei thing, i will never be able to update my phone and use android pay/google pay? i dont really get it. sorry. can you help me?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sudman:
No, I think with Funky Huawei method you still only have one IMEI used by both Sims. So you can't have both Sims on the same network active at the same time if I understand it correctly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You will only ever have one SIM card live at anyone time, unlike the Oneplus devices where they're both live at the same time, can both receive calls and texts without swapping.

Funky will break bootloader unlocking due to the huge changes to your device, plus it costs, a LOT!!

The method described in this thread will rebrand your device and leave your bootloader untouched.

The chap is [MENTION=1599044]ToLive4[/MENTION] not tolove4

I don't get the need for the dual SIM feature personally, primarily as they're both not live at the same time, it's quite a weak implementation of that variety of phone and you could actually just swap out your SIM and get the same outcome.

It's your choice if you commit to either.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] doromax:
With funky method you will chanhe L09 to L29 and you will able to use both sim but you have only 1 IMEI ! NOT 2.

It isn't correct. If you are in Europe (no sim lock) you can use both sim in same network (example: Three)

So you can use also 2 sim of same operator.

Simply you can do what you want.

Not true! At all.

P20 pro manage 2 sim at same time. You can phone and at same time you can download torrent with other sim.

Second thing every sim is live at same time! I can recive sms with sim one and phone with sim two.

Or I phone with sim two and P20 pro advise me of an incoming call on sim one.

Thanks for this thread that puts some clarity around about the operations to do for unlocking and rooting.

I have just some easy questions:

If I root my phone and install, let's say adaway, will I be able to receive OTA? Or I will have to flash a new image manually?

If after root I relock bootloader, will I be able to unlock it again later for further modding?

This method implies that I can return to stock anytime and relock bootloader?

I lost my phone in Vietnam, so I had to buy one there. I got this CLT-L29 c636 dual sim,

And it has 2 IMEI. Can I flash a CLT-L29 c432 european, right?

Thanks for the answers, informations are so scattered.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sudman:
You've misunderstood what I'm saying so to be clear :

If you have a phone with two IMEI's of course you can you 2 sims from the same network at the same time . However, as I said, with the Funky Huawei method you end up with a phone sharing 1 IMEI across two sims, therefore you may not be able to use both sims at the same time if they are on the same network because network would detect it probably boot you off. They do not like duplicate phones being on the network at the same time which is effectively what they would be seeing.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] doromax:
No. It is not so.

As I wrote with 1 IMEI in Europe (example) where operators don't use sim lock (!) you can use same operator sim (exampke 2 Vodafone sim) at same time and both work flawlessly.

This for sure.

For other countries (example Asia and USA) Huawei make P20 pro with 2 IMEI.

This is also the pdoblem for who rebrand a P20 pro from C636(not sure of code) to C432

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sudman:
Well in the UK networks used to periodically sweep their RAN and if they found duplicate imei's on the network at the same time they got barred! maybe that's not done anymore I'll try and find out.

Hello.

What am I doing wrong?

And where do I put the oeminfo file?

[IMG="what is wrong here"]https://ibb.co/fsCV9o[/IMG]

I got it to work.

I got the message "No SD card or USB device please connect in 2 minutes!" and it begun to factory reset, it came to 99% and stood there in 1 minute, and suddenly it stood "factory reset failed" and then I could reboot, but it worked. It got reset and its OEM.

So thanks for the guide.

But I also have an P20 Lite, what is the steps for doing the same on that one?

Thanks.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] afikri6:
how do i debrand from L29c432 to L29c636

or anybody has the oeminfo for c636?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ToLive4:
Just follow the steps and it will work. Do you have unlocked bootloader? If not, it will be difficult to get unlock code for LDU (Live Demo Unit). If you have DS then brand it as CLT-L29 and for SS L09.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Same thing happened to me. Still worked.

P20 lite, you would have to check that forum.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] neilkarunatilaka:
Oh quick question, I used this method to go to .120 and then to .128 OTA. I have since relocked the bootloader. I should technically be able to future OTA without any issues (even with fingerprint/password unlock) correct? :) Thanks again for the awesome guide(s)!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yes that's correct, so you're going back to stock, no more twrp no more root and locked bootloader?

If yes to all then you can install OTA's as expected.

Even if you wasn't to unroot, lock bootloader, remove twrp you'd still be able to receive OTA's just follow my guide on #254
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wivelden:
Hi. Now you have rebranded did you find any advantage in the updates such as better battery or better camera pictures etc? Asking because I have the same model and software as you and was thinking of doing this but only if it has an advantage on doing this. Also did you get another unlock code after debranding to see if it was a different code for future use if needed? Thanks

Magisk manager FCs for me also. Maybe i'll try re-flashing the magisk image and installing the apk and try again.

I now for some reason can't boot into TWRP or eRecovery! I think it may have something to do with having magisk 16.4 installed previously. I tried uninstalling it via magisk manager but it doesn't remove properly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PartheevP:
Hi all, I'll be getting my P20 pro this week (likely EE locked CLT L09 version). Hence I wish to rebrand to get all the latest OTA upgrades. I have a few questions, apologies if these have been answered previously:

1) Does having an EE network lock matter?

2) Do I need to request my bootlocker unlock code (or can I get by without unlocking it)?

3) I will be removing the EE network lock soon, will this rebrand process affect that at all?

Thanks in advance :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yep you've not rooted
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bowlandspoon:
I am rooted but with 16.4 beta from the XDA forum. I'm guessing the one in your guide is a modified version?

I think having the 16.4 version installed prior to flashing the modified one is causing some problems. Not being able to get into twrp is annoying. Think I'll have to go back to the bootloader and reflash twrp so I can then flash the magisk uninstaller. Hopefully that will give me a clean slate to start the rebranding process again.

Failing that I'll have to reset the phone to stock from recovery.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lombes:

hey everyone I followed this guide for CLT-04 and it bricked me phone for that reason I don't recommend this guide, if I can get it fixed I'm never doing this again. I JUST WANT A WORKING PHONE NOW :(

20.Paste recovery command(all lines at once) and wait for prompt to be shown before next step:

echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command

echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_data_public.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command

echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_all_hw.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command

I did this and waited for some time. I assumed after 20minute wait without any "exit" on my laptop or phone came up. I rebooted and now eRecovery keeps booting and WON'T Recover anything.

Sigh
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Sure it's only tested on the L29 and L09

Did you ask if it's compatible with the L04 first?

The guide is perfect there is nothing wrong with it besides people not reading it correctly or skipping steps which is completely their own fault..

I wouldn't assume that you have bricked your phone.. so long as you can get to the bootloader you should be able to work your way back.

SIGHHHHH
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sudman:
From what you've said it would appear that you didn't follow the guide correctly.

"I assumed after 20minute wait without any "exit" on my laptop or phone came up. "

You don't wait for an "Exit" to pop up you type "Exit" that may be where you are going wrong.

Eitherway I would suggest that you follow dladz guide (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76785704&postcount=152) for the correct commands to issue as that is a bit clearer. If you can get to recovery then i would suggest that your phone isn't bricked and you can just start again.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
The problem is after the reboot the phone "relocked" itself. Using the original key to unlock says "Failed! Wrong password" so now I have unbootable phone with locked bootloader

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] matt4321:
Did you type 'reboot' or 'reboot recovery', the phone needs to boot into recovery to perform the update. If you only typed 'reboot' then this may be what caused the issue.

Strange as it never gave me an option on what to do, it just started the update. Did you flash nocheck recovery?

Actually this is a good point! And something we need to think about and consider. Perhaps we need to update the files to latest release as they come? Otherwise people may be converting but downgrading which would cause problems
