Been working towards debranding my P9 from L09C34 (optus/au) to L09C636 (hw/asia).
Tried following all the guides and consistently ending up with C900 firmware, but managed to successfully roll back to the original C34, with version number displayed correctly on the phone.
My question is this:
In the C34 firmware that came with the phone (and that i've been using to roll back) AND the C636 firmware, BOTH firmwares have only two lines in VERLIST.IMG:
EVA_C900B000
EVA_Global
How then, does this part of the debrand process affect the version number displaying correctly, if both the successful original firmware and the unsuccessful C636 firmware have the same entries?
I had the same issue with wife's P9 Optus rom is based on the Global Version. EVA_C900 you need to flash both rom and data partition

Thanks. I managed to successfully get back to the Optus firmware with the correct version displaying - but I still haven't cracked the de-brand without it showing C900 firmware - from what I read, C900 is a cross-flash firmware and will not get OTA updates. My main concern was getting the Nougat update, which has apparently started appearing on the unbranded devices.
Did you manage to de-brand your wife's phone to C636? Does it show the correct firmware version in 'about phone'?
I tried to debrand my C34 to C636 as well but ultimately, I gave up on it and went to the debranded C432 UK version. There are plenty of info on this forum on how to do it and there is no lose in functionality and it works perfectly fine with the AU carriers. Realistically, apart from the build having C432 instead of C636, you wouldnt see or feel a difference between the 2 models. If anything, C432 will get updates sooner than C636 (as proven with Nougat).
Anybody knows whether my huawei p9 EVA-L09 C346 B150 have received nougat update or not?
Someone help me please

I checked in Firmware Finder for your phone and that is the only one I could find. Looks like you are not getting any new updates for the carrier you are using(but I'm not 100% sure). In order to get updates you need to debrand your phone to C432. Follow the link here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523

Is it safe for my device to do that? Since my devic3 is under vodafone, i want to know whether the update will be released by vodafone or official huawei?

I followed the steps there and it worked fine for me. I too was also waiting for Vodafone Australia to release Nougat update (EVA-L09 user here that had vodafone branded phone). Huawei hasn't given the firmware to them yet so I went and debranded anyway using that L09C432 guide.
Just make sure you get bootloader to unlock properly. Official method to get bootloader unlock code is recommended.
So the steps I noted are:
- I got the bootloader unlock code from huawei, inserted the code with SRK-Tool to push the unlock code to the phone.
- Followed steps to get to B182.
- Then used this guide to get further updates: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70594380&postcount=2 (Do this incrementally, don't jump past a build or more in advance.)
Hello my cell phone, has the C900 compilation and has android 6, I would like to know how to go to the C432 compilation?
Thaks!
I have C900 too. There's a way to change I think but the C432 updates, if you download them and install manually, are compatible. It's how I've been updating my phone ever since I bought it. I have installed B380 update currently. There's a newer one but some folks are having trouble with it so I haven't updated yet.

Yes, but what is the way it changes from c900 to c432, thanks
Hi,
Does the rebranding process from C782 to C432 still work on FunkyHuawei?
I'm confused as to what firmware I install when I start the rebrand.
My C782 is on. 282
Thanks
I have the same phone. P20 pro c782 EE uk
You resolve this problem or not?

Yes you can. Exactly what I did. From c782 to c432. However the last price I saw for bl unlock code was more than the handsets are worth. And its a pain as you need to be on oreo, it does work on pie so also have to do a rollback

If I remember well some people reported last year that they were able to rebrand by simply flashing different service firmware with dload method... it was reported around time when early 9.1 firmware revisions showed up... might work only between certain revisions though...
I have the same problem. Need to rebrand for c782 uk to c432. Clt l09

This was a misunderstanding due to Huawei changing the naming structure of firmwares. Lgrp2 covers numerous regions in Europe etc so it wasn't rebranding, just changing the firmware version name.
As for rebranding via fh. You need to be on oreo. Then you Rebrand with the same version number but the c432 version. Then it will automatically update via ota to current 432 version, usually in a few stages

Hello. I have a Huawei P9 EVA DL00, on it EMUI 8.0.0 / Android 8.0.0. Is it possible to port the EMUI 9 firmware from Huawei P10 / Honor 9 or another device to our P9 on it. We have Kirin 955, and on the Huawei P10 / Honor 9 Kirin 960. Who can port?
It's is possible?!

I don't know have you really been originally on that cust c451, or you rebranded to c451 as part of going back to stock / rolling back to MM
Anyway, c451 is a dead end, check on FirmwarFinder or at:
https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=EVA-L09c451
you will see that EMUI 4.1, b131/b132 are the last ever firmwares for c451
You need to rebrand to some 'proper' cust like c432 (European), c636, or so, to be able to obtain OTA updates up to EMUI 5, like it was described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2
Rebranding to c432 is crucial. If updating to b182 as described there will fail, you should be able to reinstall c432 b182 (or newer c432) by eRecovery, or by flashing service restore c432b182 (but there are no service restores for c451 and no Nougat firmwares for c451)

Thanks for the reply,
No, ive been originally on c451. I dindt change anything on this device. I bought it at amazon almost 3 years ago, and apparently it was a "telstra" phone, i think from Australia, altought in amazon it said unlocked. Now im using Movistar network in Argentina.
Ok then, the question is, is there any way to know that after rebranding to c432 or another cust my device will work properly? i mean phone signal (the most important thing), camera, fingerprint sensor, etc.

Hardware is always the same, rebranding puts the other cust.
And with cust c432 you should receive OTA updates up to b504/b505
If not, for some reason (then it is possible to force DLOAD or HWOTA updates
Btw, responding you now from L09c432 rebranded to AL10c00 (Chinese), with Oreo b540 (Oreo was released for P9 only in China) and with some adaptations (Chinese firmwares are specific), everything works ok.
If you search throughout XDA, you will find many users (for all kinds of Huawei models) rebrand here and there, usually to c432 or c636 since they obtain faster and more updates (except for Chinese AL10, AL00, DL10 and alike that get first and farthest OTA updates, but Chinese firmwares require adaptations to become useful worldwide: bloatware, missing GApps, missing intl languages and configurations for intl carriers, and so)
Btw, didn't you previously say that you returned to stock (from custom ROM?) - in that case you must have Bootloader code (for rebranding you need to start with the unlocked Bootloader - have also OEM/FRP unlocked)
Edit: Btw, this is a wrong thread for discussing the update of stock MM firmware to Nougat
