Wrong flash after un-branding

Good Morning,
Yesterday in the attempt to unbrand my P9+ VIE-L09 and correct the S.N to C432 i figured out that the zip that has to be flashed is for the EVA-L09 (oeminfo-huawei-p9-eval09-c432.zip) but only after flashing. Now my phone can boot the firmware but no radio is working, I already tried to reflash with the SD Method the correct .APP firmware but the phone stop to 5% and giving an error regarding an incompatibility problem.
actually i can boot the phone, go to original recovery or twrp, boot in fastboot mode.
how can i do to reinstall the correct VIE-L09 firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance for your help

Thanks A lot Mostar088 for your help and for the link to the official TIM italy firmware.
Actually the phone won't install the firmware because of the wrong oeminfo flashed at the start. By the way, I found a solution to bring the phone to life again and I will write a small guide ASAP to help other Users.
here follow a small summary of the step i follow:
The actual solution was to flash trough TWRP the correct oeminfo.img to the phone, then wipe data, cache & dalvik, after that, I powered off the phone, inserted an SD card with the NO BRAND VIE-L09 B160 Firmware (UPDATE.APP) and restarted the phone with the volume+ and volume- pressed togheter
finally the phone accepted the update and restored the correct firmware on the phone, now it works everything and I have a stock unbranded P9+ with the correct SN (VIE-L09C432B160)
Thanks a lot again for the help,
I will post the solution and the correct files ASAP.

Huawei P9 Firmware

Hi,
I have the Huawei P9 EVA-L09C671B138, I am looking for an updated firmware.
any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your customization is C671,you dont install FW L09C432B182 without change oeminfo. First you must change oeminfo and custom.bin from C671 to C432 using SRK Tools. And then flash FW L09C432B182.

Thanks for the quick response, can you please elaborate regarding SRK tools. Do I need to root or flash anything or just use the tool to edit the 2 files you referred to.

????

You must first unlock bootloader and root. Then use SRK tool.

Thank You
I have managed to complete this and update to B182 :good:

oeminfo for C636 in SRK tool

hi guys, i'm still new here and i can't comment on the development thread. can someone help me with my problem?
i've read on another that if have back up of your oemfile you can restore it somehow, am i right?
my p9+ was originally C636, but after i updated to B170, it turned to C900, there was an oeminfo.bin for the C636 on the SRK tool right? can i restore mine to C636 using that without rooting?

Not without unlocked bootloader and root, why dont u downgrade to the firmware u had first? Best is to start with B103 and then update up. It will erase your data if u downgrade so make a backup first.

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!
