Change Vendor/Region on same fw version -is that safe? - Huawei Mate S

Well, I own a CRR-L09 Swisscom branded device(vendor=Vodafone/country=ch), updated first to unbranded LP B145, now on MM B321 and all good so far except for LTE band 4 not working on my carrier(Claro) while it does on other carrier, obviously on same band.
So my question is: If the firmware version I´m using now is good for both Vodafone/ch and hw/eu, is it safe to simply use 004´s oeminfo.img tool to change that file only? Then I´d change /data/custom.bin,too.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: It would be very nice if someone could share an oeminfo file from hw/eu B303/B321 device. It is located in /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/ (ES explorer w/root access needed).

Tengo el mismo problema
Lo has resuelto ya???
Do you want to restore the original firmware or do you want to flash another?
which model do you have? CRR-UL00, CRR-L09 or another one? Look for it in your phone settings and write the whole build number.
Hi, (sorry for my english)
I would like to obtain de original vodafone stock firm. Model CRR-L09, because i installed other original firm, but the "cust.img" is not compatible with my country and appears a warning in the phone.
The phone works fine, but i need to restore to original firm to sold it.
Regards
i can´t find the original update.app for the vodafone branded spanis mate s.
But if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can root your mate s, change the buildnumber in the build.prop and should receive the original update via ota.
I´m not sure about the right buildnumber. musst be CRR-L09C02B000 i think.

Change country code with ios Apple
Hi There,
I read several posts. I just bought a chinese version Huawei P9
Manufacture info: EVA-TL00VN2
Bootloader Version:: EVA-C00B198_Fastboot
CP Version: 21.210.03.01.031 (balong)
), but live in The Netherlands and require English. At present the "Google" app is not working properly. It sincs Calandar and Mail, but it refuses to sync contacts.
I am totally new on software changes etc. I try to understand, but need step-for-step instructions.
I also believe that the Chinese google apk restricts the phone doing certain things due to Chinese laws. (is this a realistic assumption).
I tried downloading SRK-file from other thread, but this is software for Windows and I have a Mac.
Is there a SRK-program (or similar) to operate from IOS.
Please help.
P.s.: Is country code is not an issue to my problem according to you, please advise.
I have restored factory settings several times and started over with installation.
I have checked all possible boxes in Phone and on Google account to allow sites / software to be installed from non-verified partners.
I have been able to download European Google Playstore and all related apps....however...contacts do not sync.
Even though I have changed languages in several locations on phone to English, Chinese signs keep popping up (i.e. homescreen). Rest is English.
Does anyone no the "Verification Key" for the special code under "Veneer Code" (youtube.com/watch?v=oipKvS_n--A&index=47&list=PLeiJwJY5dlmjhw2MEVYMsDvuiuIlphUv1[/url])
Thanks for your cooperation.
Bad post!

Missing custom.bin = unlocked project menu on branded device.

Last week I tried to de-brand from C34 to C636. No matter what I did, I always ended up with the C900 firmware.
Managed to flash back to C34 and in the process flashed the "optus/au" AND "hw/normal" folders to /CUST/
The result was a successful flash back to C34, build number reading correctly, Optus branding on startup and everything sorted. But I'm still trying to get to the bottom of how this all works.
What I noticed last night is that the Project Menu is now usable (*#*#2846579#*#*) previously blocked by the Optus build. On further inspection, I am also missing 'custom.bin' that by my understanding tells the phone where to look for build-specific files on the CUST partition.
Questions:
1. Without custom.bin - how does the phone know which folders to access in CUST?
2. If I were to add a custom.bin that directed to the /hw/normal folder on CUST, how will this affect my Optus firmware.
3. Still trying to work out why the de-brand didn't work to C636 and my best guess is that the oeminfo I flashed didn't match the exact build of the firmware OR I didn't flash it right- can anyone confirm how specific oeminfo is to the firmware version?
Any help is appreciated. Just trying to learn.
Thanks.

Where did you get the C636 oeminfo and custom.bin from?

oeminfo from this post.
Custom.bin I copied from the SKR tool files. Technically the C636 files on the SKR tool are for the dual sim variant - so I can't use the oeminfo, but the actual contents of custom.bin are a single file path, so it shouldn't matter.

I see, I did something similar but ultimately I just went to C432 and now I am rather happy I did change it to C432. I am getting updates much sooner and I have no issues at all with this firmware.
Also, when I backed up my oeminfo and custom.bin using the SRK and then restoring it, this broke my P9, so I dont trust the backup feature of the SRK tool.
How would you add a custom.bin manually? I've bricked my phone, but I have the backed up oeminfo and custom.bin and root access via the terminal in twrp. I found out where to flash the oeminfo but not the custom.bin. Thanks in advance!

How to remove branded boot logo from firmware?

Hi
I am trying to remove t-mobile boot logo from firmware, and i want to make the firmware generic as possible.
Using flashtool and G8441_T-Mobile HR_1311-0658_47.1.A.12.235_R7B firmware to create new bundle.
Now few questions:
1. Do i need to delete fwinfo.xml and update.xml from firmware folder?
2. Can i remove boot logo by deleting some .sin file or .sin file needs to be edited?
Any tips appreciated.
I think that branding depends on your branded firmware. There is no problem to just flash an unbranded version. This is quite easy with Flashtool. Just download the proper version for your smartphone. You can select every version from Sony. The language files are included in every firmware.
To get a generic unbranded firmware.... you flash a generic firmware... like i am using G8441_Customized MY_1311-1764_47.1.A.12.235_R6B. There is cusomtized version for germany too.
Thanks for tips but i knew that, i was asking how to do it manually on branded firmware, and by the way how to know which firmware is without branding in xperifirm?

I've never used a branded fw before, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in /oem/media/bootanimation.zip. so you would have to edit the oem.sin (or remount /oem as writable if you got root).

You can't rebrand (but you could brick) just by flashing c432 build.
Maybe you can do it by HWOTA7 (advantage, no need to go back to MM), similarly as explained in posts #1 and #2 (you can directly ask in the thread would it work, maybe you can escape c432 ang go directly to AL10b399 etc)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
But for sure you can rebrand to c432 by rolling back to MM (and then you will receive OTA updates for c432 for Nougat)

Hi
Sorry for my late answer. HWOTA7 is primarily for rebranding on Android 7 without having to downgrade to Android 6.
A) Just read first Post 1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849/
B) Follow the Guide from Post 2 - STEPS 0-10 (11 and 12 are only required, if something went wrong in step 10) - but in Step 8 you must choose the oeminfo for your needs (in your case L09c432) and of course, you must have the Firmware for the new oeminfo in the update folder!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2
I would recommend to use b504 for EVA-L09c432 for now, because it is currently approved

No, it doesn't contain any personal information on Android 7 and Android 6 - only on new devices with Android 8 oeminfo include IMEI.
That's why it's not possible on Android 8 to change location by changing oeminfo...
@miksly Would you please zip your oeminfo Backup and upload it for me (I would integrate into HWOTA7) , thanks
