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

Anybody know, where to get this information from?
if I want to change to any other region where can I find the correct information for the OEMINFO.IMG?

Sorry I don't know
Please share file oeminfo Dual Sim CRR-UL00 any region (hw/meafnaf or dualcu/cn)
{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. iv'e been lookin in alot of threads but no luck so far. been doing about 200 dload updates without any more luck. first of all my bluetooth, nfc or nothing like that is working (the wifi is workin and the phone itself works otherwise) so i tried many times to install twpr without any luck. if i use fastboot it goes to the part where it should install the files. then it says : FAILED (remote: image verification error)
locked bootloader and guess i can't do much there now? all the pages i get send to is down. and read something about that it would be like taht for now?
i guess ive just worked myself blind now, so migh be easy, but i can't see it. so can anyone help here?

not sure. u see i sold the phone, so did a wipe on it. then it just flipped. so i went and locked for a stock rom and installed that. booted up the phone and it worked. i did not check BT and all that. so the guy gave it back to me and asked if i could fix it.. so heh can't remember what was on it
Do you have any telegram/facebook/whatsapp anything? I could help you more hmm "live"
This way we'd also avoid making a mess in this thread
and if i input that code for project menu *#*#2846579#*#* it just goes back to dialer. nothing else.

There should only be one file,UPDATE.APP
1- Install terminal emulator from google play
2- Run this command
Code:
getprop ro.hw.custPath
3- If the output is different from this => /cust/hw/eu => let us know

yeah in that last one there was only update file. but did try different types. and some had more files. and then i also tried with only the update file. so did try everything there. just stops at 20%

nope, it's /cust/hw/eu
and the phone was never branded (not locked to any provider) so the locked part itself should not be any issue. the thing is that whatever updates i try, the first small update goes fine. but when i try the second one, it stops at 20% the debugging and everything is ok. and done it all as it should be. now i can't install twpr, i can't put in that dialcode for the project menu (did read that was another way to flash) the phone itself is working, but bluetooth is not. neither nfc and hmm, not sure if any more. now i did insert a SD in the phone, and formated it with the phone. so guess that should work. so im kinda clueless to why none of the updates are working.

Edit: maybe first try dload method thease files, seperate, first from update.zip, second from update_full_hw_eu.zip (in dload folder only update.app and then restart phone holding volume + and -)
EVA-L09C432B378 update.zip, update_full_hw_eu.zip and only then try next writed
First, you need download and with dload method instal this https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/huawei-p9-rollback-package-eva-l09-t3497882
there are direct download
this file are small, and will configure phone to be able return to android 6
Create backup all files, other things you need, kuz using b136 will wipe all you got there
to return back to android 6 use this package : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
here shortcut to mega site, works well for me
need to work, before start dload charge phone around 70%.
edit: Some questions:
Do you know, how aply dload method? (can you step by step how to? )
Can you enter in fastboot, and send pic what is here ? need to be similar in this picture

yes fastboot look like that (frp is red if i let the oem lovk in developer settings be enabled) but can make it look just like that yes.
and i insertet a 32gb micro sd card. and made a dload folder in the root of that card. and i put the update file in that folder and i hold volume + and - and power for like 5-6 seconds. and the emui comes up and start the update package
managed to find a working b378 on that last link but can't innstall the update in the megafilelink. says it's not the correct one for my system. so guess i'll try another one. but the phone is garbage soon...
B378 dload 1 update.zip only update.app, then dload 2 update.full.hw.eu.zip only update.app,
then dload small 89mb ?? Update.app from rollback, that's 3 time use dload,
then you need dload 4 all files from mega link, all files, maps, as you unzip it, in dload folder need to be update.app and 2 folders.
It's 4 times to do dload, really don't work?

the first update.zip stopped at 26% now. saying "failed to check the update pacage. please download the pacage again" and that happens all the time. never on the small files, so wonder if i might have to get another sdcard)might be something wrong with it?
so i get to the part where ive got b378 but the phone is still the same..

i get to the 378. i run full update hw (second one) and the rollback (third one) but it stops when i take the file from mega, 2 folders and the update total 4.4 gb unpacked. so wonder if there might be something with my SD card, it stops on 5% and says failed to check the update pacage, please download the package again. seems kinda like i don't have the right to write to the system or something, since i believe this should be the correct files so im gonna do a last try with different SDcard.
