Hi! I have the China specific EVA-AL10 version of the Huawei P9. The phone works perfectly in India, although the stock browser , voice command and some other apps work only in Chinese. It doesn't even recognise a Huawei watch brought in the US. I know this phone, same version is available in the US and Europe. I am sure their must b other firmware too..can anyone please suggest a solution...I think k a different ...more open firmware is needed
I am in the same situation. I didn't flash a new rom. I just changed the default app, such as message, browser, etc.
You can user google launcher, which gives you the classic UI, and you can set the voice assistant as google now, so that you can use "Okay Google" to voice control it. Just that the original Chinese voice assistant is still there, just ignore it.
Can't change the default Launcher...what's the workaround

Go to Apps -> Advanced (at the bottom) -> Default App Settings
You can change the launcher and other system apps there.
I can't use google playstore in my china bought huawei P9. If you restore it works for a while then after sometime its just says downloading but can't. Further downloaded apps from play store also can't update. Pls help, do i need to change the global firmware?

Just a heads up about the BL unlock. The code I got from Huawei website did not work for me. I got an error message that the password was wrong when I entered unlock command. I got a code from DC unlocker ($4 euors. Which was different from the Huawei site) and it worked for me.
Converting to from AL10 to L19 was very beneficial to me. I have no issues so far.

When you debrand it from Al10 to L19 the Chinese stuff will go away.

according to willMyPhoneWork site,
EVA-L19 (Global Dual SIM version) 4G LTE: Band4-AWS, Band7-2600MHz
the L19 is not fully compatible with my mobile provider,
EVA-AL10 (China, Dual SIM version) 4G LTE: Band17-700MHz, Band4-AWS, Band2-1900MHz, Band7-2600MHz
EVA-L09 (Global Single SIM version)4G LTE: Band17-700MHz, Band4-AWS, Band2-1900MHz, Band7-2600MHz
EVA-L29 (Global Dual SIM version) 4G LTE: Band17-700MHz, Band4-AWS, Band2-1900MHz, Band7-2600MHz
if I flash my AL10 to L19, is that means I can't use LTE?
can any one let me know ?
thanks,
I don't have any issues with LTE after debranding my AL10 to L19. I use dual sim set up with ATT and Tmobile in United States and it works fine. Just keep in mind that only one sim can be LTE and the other will have to be 2G.
thanks for your clarification,
I plan to use only 1 SIM card + MicroSD

Hi HIEPXHOP,
I have EVA-AL10C00B386, EMUI V. 5.0, Android 7.0
I want to flash it to L19, I have a few questions
1. do I need to unlocked the bootloader?
2. do I need to go back to MarshMallow(i found the guide is basic on MM)?
thanks,

Yes you will need to unlock the bootloader. You need to go back to MM if you want to debrand with the SRK tool. SRK tool has oeminfo for L19C636 and L19185.
Initially, I debranded my AL10 to L19C636 (asia). I had to downgrade to MM and used SRK tool. But I was not able to get OTA to latest Nougat.
So I debranded again, but this time to L19C432 (SRK tool only has oeminfo for L09C432, but not L19C432). I followed this guide from Tecalote to do it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2.
It does not use the SRKtool, so you will have to do must of the steps manually. Be sure to follow it EXACTLY.
I hope this helps.

I have the Eva-al10 and would like to get rid off the chinese letters and download attachments problems.
Could someone post a step by step process to change it to L19 ( for android dummies like myself)?
I suggest debranding your device
I just debranded my EVA-AL10 to EVA-L09 (european version) and everything is working fine but it wasn't easy 99% of instructions (even on this forum) didn't work because they are based on Android 6 and if you already have Android 7 you have to find solution by yourself. When I have enough time I'll write it on this forum because I didn't find even one working "step by step" instruction "How to change chinese soft on AL-10 to european"

How you make the debrand ?
Hello, guys! I`m using my s6 at&t in Ukraine, and it works perfectly with my sim. Firmware is 5.1.1 Is it possible to install 6.x and it is possible to get my phone locked to at&t after installin it? thanks in advance
I doubt that if your phone is a unlocked phone also known as a sim unlock phone that is that it can be used with any carrier would get locked due to a software update. Since you mentioned that you are in Ukraine and if it works with the local sim that means that the phone is a sim unlocked phone and would probably not be affected by a software update.
Also just use odin to update the phone

hi guys,
i have debranded my mate 10 pro through funkyhuawey from branded single sim to unbranded c432 dual sim.
the process has changed my imei so the question is: will i get emui 9 (no pie update till now)?
is there anyone who has carried out the same process that has already received pie?
thank you
This process is not supposed to change your imei at all.
I did the same and am so far receiving Ota so you should be good

It Changes your imei if you transform a single to dual.
Nop.
I have a single SIM orange branded that I transformed into a dual sim European unbranded and no imei problem
Duplicated. Sorry

My actual imei is different from the original one.
Anyway thanks for your feedback.
Have you received pie?
I have not received pie for now but received previous updates without problems so not worried.
For your imei you should register a ticket to FH support maybe they can explain to you what happened.

FH changes your IMEI when you rebrand. Under settings, there is maybe the old IMEI but you have to go to fastboot and type this: fastboot oem get-psid. This will be different than the one under settings. The imei in fastboot matters for everything like unlock-code etc.
Hey guys, I'm very confused with the amount of information around about the P30 Pro rebranding, FunkyHuawei doesn't support the P30 Pro as we know which leaves us to our own devices.
Here in the UK my P30 Pro is on contract (EE) and sim locked of course..
Unfortunately this means I'm on EE's firmware which is fine but slow to get updates, I'm on June still when August is already out...
My question is, is there ANY way I can change from C431 to C432 (or better) and get on to .193?, I imagine the sim lock will remain which is fine, I just want to get faster updates..
Sorry if y'all have been over this already I'm just trying the get a definitive answer in this thread
Note: am I correct in thinking C432 is the best/faster firmware for updates?
Thanks in advanced :highfive:

As far as I'm aware with Huawei devices , changing firmware regions is not possible without root.

I'm on C431 on the non-Pro P30 and have the .193 August update, also on EE
Try the eRecovery method, and the Hisuite update method
Also read something about the carrier software only installing after inserting the SIM, to return to stock firmware remove the SIM card, factory reset the phone

Thank you for the reply, strange that you're on the latest & I'm not, if you have time could you link any threads for either of the methods you mentioned please?
Assuming that doesn't work I'll try the factory reset as a last resort

Install Hisuite on the PC
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/hisuite/
Enable the options in your phone it asks for, check for updates with the phone connected to PC USB
eRecovery - Power off the phone, Hold vol up & power until the white screen appears, choose the update/recovery option
Google has all the info you need

As to the C431 or C432, is that still a thing?, The reason I ask is because I had a Mate 10 Pro which was C782 & once rebranding to C432 I got updates so much faster

According to my knowledge/understanding,
C432 is global European
C431 is quite the same but with the ability to be directly custom by carriers inside the rom
You'll usually see c431 on phones sell by orange isp across Europe.
There's also the way to add a custom patch by the carrier with the sim, that's come with additional little patches on top of the main rom (any rom cust/region numbers in that case).
Warning [emoji615]
This is just my guess
So it could be so wrong
Let someone with real knowledge tell 'the truth'

Yes, you're perfectly right.
C431 is sold (in Romania especially) by carriers (Orange, Vodafone, Telekom, Digi) and retailers too. The one sold by carriers has an update of their own when you inserted their SIM (ex. If you bought an C431 from Vodafone and you insert an Vodafone SIM, you will get an update from them and you're firmware will get customized, so for the next firmware you'll have to wait for Vodafone to approve and be delivered. If you insert another carrier SIM, you're phone will remain with the untouched firmware and get updates as Huawei release it, in batches).
C432 version is rare arround here, i didn't see any of that on the phones i saw (friends, reviews, on-line resellers) but the only difference between C431 and C432 is the ammount of apps preinstalled that you'll get when updating.
Cheers,
SilviuO
The carrier 'extra' patch I talked is the one which could spread through the sim and, afaik, be with any cust/region/csc devices ; but you can avoid/postpone it (even if getting annoying reminders).
C432 usually are from 'regular' shop. (mediamark, fnac, saturn, amazon...).
C431 from carrier or affiliated ones, even if it correctly said not simlocked for most of them. Note (global idea): Western european 'law' which 'forbid' to sim lock phone or if locked have the obligation to freely unlocked it after a short period if requested by customer.
C432 is, as you said, the 'best' for getting quicker updates in Europe. Said quoted because it's not only that, depend your country, carrier, imei, huawei id...and sometimes luck
C431 is almost the same but could be managed directly by your carrier for specific parameters like network management ('standard is for dummy' they certainly think...and proud of themselves) or services (WiFi calling is a good exemple) and you can't avoid it. But they also have stronger commitment against huawei like they can't 'sleep on it'. If not huawei will push c431 without waiting, that's why c431 and C432 is almost the same.
Again [emoji615]
These are my only understanding/guesses while surfing around in forum, spec sheets, etc...
I have no clue and no will to argue if someone say its not true.
Just sharing my 'experiences'.
Conclusion :
If you're going to use the phone mainly in Europe, go chase for a c432.
And I will add, if no need from services stucked/moved to some specific bands like cdma in america/japan or special regulations in some asian countries, c432 will also be the better hardware cust version.

Is there any way to tell if you get your updates from your carrier or direct from Huawei?
I have C431 on EE network in the UK, but there are no signs of EE anywhere in installed apps or branding

Yes, the carriers updates will come long time after Huawei release the update for your device IMEI. Tested with someone who has Orange branded firmware. I received OTA ~ 1 week after it was released on FF and his device received it 3 weeks later (that happend before using HSTool method, i was like on firmware v158 or v161, kinda ).
If you don't have career related firmware installed on your phone, that means that you receive straight from Huawei servers.

There is no version number or code to say though? Just the speed of the updates?
With Samsung you could tell via the CSC for example VOD = Vodafone, BTU = Unbranded/Unlocked straight from Samsung

Nope, there is no CSC code on Huawei or any other way to know. Before the P30 / P30 Pro, there was no C431 version, just C432 and the firmware was released / carrier branded as i described in my post reply, depending on the SIM / carrier or retailer from where you've bought your phone. Starting with P30 / P30 Pro versions, C431 was introduced as EEA firmware version (all the EU countries + Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway + Switzerland) beside C432 as EU firmware (includes al EU contries without Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway + Switzerland).
I get to those conclusions by checking the update info from the dload firmware inside Software folder (in those files you have all the info about the firmware updates -what security patches were applied, what errors have been resolved, for what carrier the firmware needs approval, etc-)
Anyway, regardless C431 is preffered by carriers and some retailers, you can always flash C432 or C10 firmwares over C431 without any problem, your cust will remain C431, but you'll install C432 firmware.
You can do that by dload method as i mentioned you or by HiSuite one (last one available for now only on EMUI 9.1 and maybe will work too on EMUI 10 but that we'll have to wait and see by mid November/early December when EMUI 10 will be out of beta and released globally).

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me.
Ive just bought this phone refurbished . Its arrived in immaculate condition, but the problem is I can not get it to update the firmware to EMUI 9.
I have contacted customer services at Huawei and they have said that I cant update the phone OTA as it has been a demonstrator phone, even though its unlocked and works OK.
They want me to send it off to the service centre.
What can I do to flash the phone to the latest EMUI 9.1 firmware for the UK?
I dont want to put EMUI 10 on as I want to use mirrorlink for my car.
Can this be done or is it better to send back to service centre?
Thanks for any help.

Try inserting the sim card. Enable 4g conection and wait 1 minute. Then try to find update with the phone. That was a solution for me.
Also, i think in this versión you can get easly the bootloader Code. If you update, It Will be so difficult to extract it.

If you unlock the bootloader, then you will be able to rebrand it to the European version (c432) and update it normally.

Hi, Thanks so much for the information.
Given I have not done this before, could you give me any advice on how to unlock the bootloader and then rebrand to the c432 version?
Im guessing that I can then update to emui 9.1 once the normal European version is on the phone.
Thanks again for any help
Huawei stopped giving BL unlock codes long time ago so it cannot be done currently, try talking with funkyhuawei to see if they can help.

You can use HCU/DC-Phoenix to get the unlock code (it should cost about 4-5 €). Then you could use HWOTA8 tool to rebrand it for free (you can find the tool here on XDA).
@paul1777 Did you manage to get this fixed as I have the same issue with a refurb mate 10 pro phone (amazon warehouse deal by any chance?) also c652 and huawei have been no help
