i hope someone can help me, i'm a newbie on debranding and a problem occured while i'm trying to debrand my huawei p9 plus.
i tried extracting the verlist.img on the update app using the huawei extractor but the build inside it is for the international C900. can someone provide me with the correct one? and in the srk tool, vefore i enter the value for the ro.build.display.id, it said for the current value shell missing, or something like that, how can i fix it?

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:

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!

I have same problem...
Did You found solution?
Hi Guys,
I need serious help, as I tried to drand my Huawei P9 Plus, that I have purchased for UK Vodafone in the UK, as they are the only people who sell it.
This phone was originally on VIE-L09C02B131.
I have tried to dbrand it to L09C423B181, using the video guide [VDO-GUIDE] How to debrand Huawei Phone by SRK Tool Huawei by somboons. It is now showing as L09C900B181.
I tried again to unlock my bootloader, Install TWRP, root my phone, so that I could reapply the correct C432 oeminfo and custom.bin file.
However my phone is now stuck in Huawei eRecovery boot and I am unable to get back into my phone at all.
Can someone please help.
UPDATE 1: I have now managed to get L09C432B181 installed on my phone, however, the firmware is still showing as L09C900B181 and my theme are now showing default.
UPDATE 2: I have now installed TWRP and SUPERSU, however the phone keeps rebooting to Huawei eRecovery. I now need to now update the custom.bin and oeminfo to C432.
Someone please help me. I can't work out where I went wrong, as I have followed the dbranding video.
Thanks in advance,
Bashy
now i know why everytime i manual update my p9 plus c636b103 to higher firmware is making it c900. its because my p9 plus is locked to its network carrier and the network smart is not releasing the ota for p9 plus. i have a vendor of smart country ph.,
pls bare to read as your knowledge/experience will help alot not only to me but to the future whom might get the same questions as mine. pls answer every questions./problems i have encountered thank you.
Q:#1 as i understand i think i need to do the debranding?? to unlock my p9 plus from my network, at first it made me so confused because my sim is unlocked i can use any sim. but then i realized its still locked in system updates from smart ph.
Q:#2 do i need to unlock bootloader install twrp and root the p9 plus first before contiunuing to the vdo of debranding?
Problem: #1, i dont fully understand the vdo of droidth in debranding the unit. i got lost of understanding in the changing of ro. build. id something like that. i tried to do the extracting the verlist but when i open the extracted verlist. img in notepad i only get random letters and symbols(ex. b&+g~), but in the video i should see vie/nxtc636b***. so i really got lost.
Problem: #2. i know i need the unlock code from huawei website.before i can unlock bootloader and i already get a code but the problem is i forgot to right it down as i only txted it to my number which i also use in my p9plus and i factory reset my p9 plus when i install back to c636b103 because if i dont factory reset after install b103 i got null imei, camera crashes, internal storage none. but after factory reset its ok.
so how am i gonna get a code again? is it still possible to get the code again? can someone pls put the link? thx.
thank you.
your reply will be much appreciated.
Yes, you need to debrand your phone and install the generic firmware for your region (for example, c432 firmwares for europe). In order to do this, you need unlocked bootloader and twrp. Root is optional, it depends on how you want to change the OEMinfo. For the unlock code I think you can ask it again to huawei in the same way you asked for it the First time. For problem#1, sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about because I didn't use that guide. Maybe try to root the phone and then edit the file directly on it with somethin like root explorer.

can i use any firmware in debranding? and should i first go back to b103? i have frimwares here b180 b190 b170 b130 b362.. all ar3 c636, what should i use? and can i do now the debranding process even if im still on c900b180?
Since you are on C900, I believe your cust is broken. Read here: https://www.google.it/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/how-to-change-cust-c900-c432-t3392824/amp/ note: it's about p9, don't download or flash anything from there.
Now if you want you can try these steps:
1- unlock bootloader (if it's still locked)
2- install twrp
3- flash via twrp the attached file (ONLY if your phone is supposed to be L29-C636, which I believe it is)
4- install a C636 firmware with DLOAD metod
Now you should be on C636 firmware with a debranded phone.
