Hi,
I followed the instructions to convert L09 to Middle Eastern & North and South Africa version and it all worked well for me, but I'm wondering how do I convert to Chinese version? Can anyone help with some information?
Like do i just need to edit the build.prop and have the correct regions update.app file? or is something else necessary.
Thanks in advance
Gavin

So I managed to convert to Chinese version. This is how I did it.
While fresh in the memory, instructions on how to change the region+ firmware to UL00
What do you need (links in 004's original post earlier in the thread or here:
1. Firmware UL00-C433B114 (Middle East, North and South Africa)
2. The oeminfo.img program to change the locale (45.69 KB) Anti-Virus may or complain, so disable it)
3. Mounted on the phone ES Explorer (Solid or Root Explorer will not work !!!)
4. You need a copy of your existing ROM versions recovery.img. You can get this using the Huawei ROM extractor tool.
What to do:
1. Flash TWRP Recovery through Fastboot (Bootloader must be unlocked)
2..Get Root (install SuperSU.zip through TWRP), reboot.
3. Install and enable root in settings of ES Explorer and go to the folder /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/
4. Copy oeminfo file and transfer it to your computer
5. On your computer, unpack the oeminfo.exe program from the RAR. Put your oeminfo file in the same folder.
6. Rename oeminfo in oeminfo.img
7. Run oeminfo.img.exe and type hw / meafnaf replacing dualcu / cn - click apply
8. Rename oeminfo.img back to oeminfo and copy to your mobile phone
9. Replace the original file in the phone to change (overwrite)
10. Go to the phone / system / and open the file build.prop
11. Find the line ro.build.displey.id = change your version to "=" CRR-UL00C433B000 and save changes
EDIT ?: These steps (10/11) MUST be completed or it will not allow you to update later with new regions ROM
12. Extract the new ROM file on your computer with the firmware.
13. Copy dload folder with the Update.app file and copy it to the phone's internal memory or MicroSD card
14. Flash back stock recovery from your existing ROM (use the extractor tool if needed). You can do this now or at the end before flashing but you must remove TWRP and ROOT before attempting to flash new rom.
15. On the phone go Settings - Update.
16. Select Menu - Local update
I then ensured Google Play was installed.
After doing this, flashed TWRP again and Rooted the phone, I then edited the oeminfo file using the above method, changing the attribute back to "dualcu/cn". After this I edited the build.prop to using the above method but this time I changed "ro.build.display.id=CRR-UL00C00B131".
I then removed root and flashed the original Huawei recovery, and then rebooted and went to update settings. I searched for update and a new file was found however a modified system was detected so it offered to download a full version which was the B160 build. This downloaded and then updated and now I have CRR-UL00C00B160 version
Whats the advantage of this Version?
There are more updates to the Chinese version..they are on build B160 whereas UK still on build B144.
Some other features like dual SIM should work however I haven't tested this.
Other things like build in virus scanner, permissions manager and also the ability to set the date of your mobile data plan to help keep track of data usage and allowance.
Pressure sensitive screen is also featured although not yet used in any apps but maybe it will be enabled soon by Huawei

Hello, could you please tell me why do you write (type) in step 11. CRR-UL00C433B000 instead of CRR-UL00C433B114? Thanks for your answer.

you need to set your build.id to B000 so you can update to B114 with an full update package in the EMUI Update app

Thanks for your soon answer. To say the truth, i have just completed the process. Unfortunately, i wrote (in my case) CRR-L09C432B114 instead of CRR-L09C432B000; my device ist just running with this B114 Rom. I was running the B119 Rom before, what should i do now in order to receive the updates?

if you have changed your localization ( the "Cxxx" part) then you won´t receive any updates. You have to manualy update via Update.APP files.
Your IMEI is linked to you Build/Localization. This way, Huawei makes sure that every phone receives the right update file. If you change one of both, you won´t receive OTA updates anymore, since the update system can´t assign the "right" update file.
Anyone can confirm the dual sim function work after this procedure?? This I want a dual sim active dfsa
it does not, EU Mate S does not have dual-dim hardware

if you have changed your localization, you won´t get the OTA Update.
Your IMEI is connected to one localization. This way every phone will receive the suitable update. If you have changed your localization (e.g. if you swapped from UL00C00BXXX to UL00C433BXXX) you won´t receive any OTA because the servers can´t find a suitable update for your IMEI/Build combination.

For me it worked but i don't promise it will work for you
Edit: but remember if it works. Update still installs stock recovery so you have to flash twrp again

72~100 K/s...
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Since we're pointing out changes, Spotify now shows album covers on our lockscreen just like the native music app.
Really cool! The fact that it showed info on the current song that was playing but not the album cover was bugging me a lot.
I am stuck at 19%.. It's been 10 minutes already.. I tried local update (from @sokkoban's blog)...
Hi Everyone!
I followed the instructions to upgrade to Nougat from MM, this includes a file named update_data_full_hw_la.zip
http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/01/huawei-p9-plus-vie-l29-nougat-b354-latin-america.html
The step that I cant seem to install this file, I tried:
Renaming file to update.zip and try to apply it through forced update (DIDNT WORK)
Extract all the content into dload folder (DIDNT WORK)
The content has an UPDATE.APP file and multiple folders. The forced update goes really fast and does not seem to install anything.
The ROM itself does not have many apps so I guess this zip should have everything else that is missing from the ROM but I cant seem to install it properly.
Any help on this? How am I supposed to install it?

try the alternative method:
Alternative Method
Remove update files from your phone, if you have copied before
Download Huawei updater from This Link
Download latest Hisuite from official huawei website
Open huawei update, tick in custom rom, in custom rom version type VIE-L29C605B354
In Custom rom URL copy this link http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1257/g104/v71996/f1/
Then tick custome port, don’t change it.
now connect your phone with pc and make sure Hisuite recognize and connected properly. then just open Hisuite menu and change network settings as shown in image below.
Easy-Nougat-Update-2.png
Then in hisuite click check for update
it should start downloading and installing firmware
Thanks, but that method won't work as the ROM itself was already applied, therefore, HiSuite returns a message saying that I'm on the most updated version.
The file m trying to apply should contain apps like the calculator, Bluetooth, compass, etc. These apps are not part of the ROM but they come on a separate zip file.
The issue seems to be that apps are not compatible with the Nougat ROM already installed.
Any other thoughts?
If any of you has an update zip containing all remaining apps, please share!
The problem u are facing could be 2. Cust and oeminfo but fitting the package and /of rom. And the two packages need to be installed immediately with starting with the hw update, after that the normal one. Tell me which version and cust we are talking about?
{Tools that you need}
1.A P9 lite
2.The files you want to flash (in my case L21C432B370+data files)
3.Firmware Finder
4. A brain
5.Patience
Steps:
1.Download the files
2.Launch firmware finder and start a proxy update on the same software as the downloaded packages. But after it goes to 1%, pause the update
3.Go to HwOUC/(the new folder) and paste the zips there
4.Resume the download
5.Update
6.???
7.Profit
I did this on my P9 lite and it's working.
This method is ONLY if you don't got the Nougat update and the proxy method doesn't work.
If you come here to call me a fgt or something, then don't comment here.
This is a NOOB friendly thread.
Thank you and have a nice day

Well I have done exactly what you have described but when I resume the download , the update program keeps downloading the files , erasing the ones I did copy/paste in HwOUC/folder

If the proxy method works for you, then that's great.
There are times when it works, or resumes the download (when it gets stuck on 0%)
Maybe you didn't placed the files with the correct names.
Hi,
I am very unsure how this happened, but I think we all can agree that I f***ed up somehow.
Ive been trying to get back to stock B373 (or B370), but with no luck. NOTHING I do works. Flash manually in fastboot with extracted .imgs from Update.App, tools, or trying to get the recovery to flash the Update.APP file (stuck at 5%).
Finally I tried installing the Marshmellow Resurrection Remix, and it says it can't because my device doesn't match the 'allowed ones', and my device is EVA.
So, how the heck do I go back to VIE-L09? Like, I respect that my phone identifies as EVA now, and I support her efforts, but I got work to do
Help?

Well, looks like your efforts to fix your mobile brought you to an update.app that was made for the "regular" P9 - that's actually called EVA. As Huawei successfully pulled all ROMs from their servers it looks like you have to send your EVA in to their service centre for reassigning surgery
There might be a slight change to change things back to normal yourself with SRK-Tool.
Good luck!
if you can pull out the oeminfo, you can edit it via an hexadecimal editor and change the value EVA to VIE.

Thank you so much for answering, even tho you couldnt help Appreciate it! Nothing worse than complete silence
boot into twrp -> advanced -> File Manager -> /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/ -> copy "oeminfo" into SD card or other folder visible by computer
then copy the copied "oeminfo" to your computer
open it with an hexadecimal editor (you can use this editor : HxD )
goto offset : 5A200 (just press ctrl+G then write 5A200 then OK) and change EVA to VIE
then goto offset 60200 and change EVA to VIE again
warning : do not change other values in oeminfo
save the changes
recopy the modified oeminfo to your phone then to /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/

So, after hours and hours .. Im still stuck.
I've tried the above, but it doesnt fix it. I . have C432 oeminfo file, and custom.bin file. However, I have no clue as to where to put the custom.bin file. It says to place it in /data/, but there arent any custom.bin file there from before, so I'm unsure.
Im really really stuck here, for the first time ever in all my years screwing up in modding/flashing
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and there's 0.5 Decred (DCR) for whoever gives me a tip that helps me solve this ****.
try update to your original rom with firmwarefinder (proxy methode)
if FF detect your phone as EVA you can change the model (tap to change model in the menu)
