[Question] Update from C636 to C432 - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Hello guys! it's possible? there's a safe method to do this without restore phone or unlock bootloader?
I have VTR-L29-C636-B120 and there's no OTA updates u.u I want that B151 firmware from C432. Thanks in advance and have a nice day!.

Hi there,
Same here have also C636B120 firmware and no OTA. Any tips or advices?
Thanks
Tom

You can only rebrand your phone with TWRP. For this you need an unlocked bootloader and the unlock progress causes a factory reset.
So, without factory reset you can't rebrand your phone to C432.
If you installed a C432 firmware you can relock you bootloader, but I don't know if the OTA Updater recognize a different between locked and relocked.
You can try this. It worked for me as Updater very good, because I can't OTA update because, I rooted. But this tool has also a rebrand option. If you need any help using this, reply or send me a message.

Q:p9 plus debranding.

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.

First you must flash stock recovery. You can extract from another full rom 7.0
Second you must have downgrade pack for your region and mobile operator.
Next you must have full rom 6.0 for your region.
You must have all file because you don't want debrand your firmware
Thanks, actually if i want debrand my phone whats the diference? Because I think I don't care...
Also, where can i find all of these files you write about?
I'm really lost with all firmware versions ... Does it matter if my version is EVA L09 C33B363 and i flash stock recovery from another version??
Also, my bootloader is locked, do I have to relock it? Does it even possible??

If you have locked you must unlock again. All file you can take from forum. Debrand it's unlock warranty and sometime you loose your guarantee. But what region you from

Here you have how debrand
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
If you debrand you can then flash stock recovery flash b300 and then b136 and do it wipe in stock recovery.
When you want debrand first you see your cust be c900 and then you must flash stock recovery do it wipe system/data and cache
If you do it your cust change to c432 and then must check your region using dial pad
*#*#2846579#*#* then push 3 and 4
If you see your vendor: hw and country: Europe
You can downgrade to b300 and then to b182
You lose your theme and you see ugly icon then do it wipe system/data and cache in stock recovery
After this you have update to b383 then b386 next to b391 and final to b393 or b394
I have b393

[Q] LOCK BOOTLOADER on OREO (not relock)

Hello,
I was on B360 Oreo.
I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, used MAGISK (16) to modify boot(ramdisk) partition, flashed it and got ROOT.
Then I flashed HYPER KERNEL.
Now i realised that custom kernel gives me nothing special in term of battery life (after 7 days) so i flashed back all stock partitions (BOOT, RECOVERY, KERNEL).
Now I am on stock, but with bootloader unlocked.
So i can get updates, but no ANDROID PAY.
The TASK is: How to lock bootloader. I mean LOCK not RELOCK.
ON nougat when i used the HWOTA to debrand my device the device was automatically locked after the change.
Now on HWOTA8 i flashed all three parts of the B360 full ota to get the bootloader locked, but still unlocked.
I think to erase and flash OEMINFO again, but i am afraid to brick the device by that.
Does anybody know how to make forced update that the bootloader will lock?
@Blackball maybe?
Actually the only way i discover to do this is, go Back to nougat, and the update vía firmware Finder vía proxy while you had your bootloader locked after rebranding again, Cheers brother
will try to update via firmware finder from b360 to b365 full firmware. Will see.
How this went for You?

Canadian p20pro L04 to L29 questions after rebranding,updating and rooting.

Hi Everyone,
Ive rebranded my canadian p20pro to L29 using these guide successfully
To root

To debrand
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ide-getting-started-unlock-twrp-root-t3806180
To install firmware updates
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
I had some questions hopefully can be resolved.
When there is an update in firmware finder can install it directly or it has to be through twrp or erecovery?
Am i able to update magisk manager without problems?
anyone got viper4anroid working or made audio experience better for this phone?
i understand that every time I update firmware ill loose root. Is there a way to not loose it?
Will update firmware make me loose all my apps and settings?
does downgrading firmware causing bricking?
Hello!
I've done the same thing. I didn't install TWRP so I can update via OTA. Today i've got 8.1.0.131 (C432) update. If you use TWRP to update firmware it will wipe your data. Magisk can be updated without problem. Viper will not work. No support for x64 audio drivers.
Go back from l29 to l04
How do i go back to l04 from l29 i was l04 at the start
When a new update is available you can just download it and flash it through hurupdater in twrp.
After updating just flash magisk again and you will retain root (also remember to reflash twrp/have the recovery.img file in the same directory when updating through hurupdater).
You will not loose any data or settings (unless the new firmware explicitly tells otherwise).

Hello Just one question. Did you use the same guide to get root and to debrand or was the same link used by mistake? I am asking because I am doing this to my phone and I am now in the debrand part. will really appreciate your help. thanks
