Weird Build Number - Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers

Hey
So, I just bought my p9+ and wanted to root it.
But From what I see (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/development/twrp-t3584486 for example), it's for B380+ only and my build number is VIE-L09C02B34.
Will it work anyway ? Or if not can I make it works ?

Build number is different because your phone is branded (c02=vodafone brand). Just check emui versione, if it's 5 or above (so if you have nougat) you are ready to go.

Ok thanks, and then I can debrand it by thishttps://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/vdo-guide-how-to-debrand-huawei-phone-t3410046 method, can't I ?

As far as I know that tool works only with marshmallow, but maybe I'm wrong, check the thread. I used a different guide which is on an italian forum.

Works great on my C470! Really happy with it, EMUI 4.0 is definately better than 3.0, really happy with it Xposed also working great.
Only funny thing is that it says "Country: Thailand" in OP, but you cant set your region to Thailand because the option is not there lol.
Which region is this C470?
I think it's either Cambodia or Singapore, not sure about it. Never know what region to expect if you buy a phone in the ASEAN haha!
İ need to c433b180 model please hellp me

You need to be rooted and do some modifications in the system files to enable multiple users. You should Google it, there are a few guides out there on how to do this. Don't really recommended though, theres this bug on some apps that you have installed on both users. If you open the app as a non main user or guest it will not load and instantly crash, and if you go back to your main account it will suddenly do the same. If you reboot the phone it will be uninstalled, together with all the data. It happened to me with Line, and lost all my conversations because of that.
Also, I have no idea what Keyguard is so I am not missing out on much XD

So it's not really compatible with B180? Sad, no suppprt for our model around the web too.
I upgraded from B180 so it should work. Just make sure you are on stock recovery, unroot and have the original ROM on your device first before updating.

Any issues with Xposed. I assume you deodexed the rom for it to work.
I came from C470B180. If you want to go back to stock recovery you should extract it from the rom of the original firmware of your deice, and flash it with adb.
No problems with xposed so far, and yes I deodexed. The xposed for emai topic mentioned some trouble with bluetooth specific stuff but it's all stuff I dont use so for me everything works fine.

Install EMUI 5 on EVA L09C521B140

As the title says, how can I install the android 7 OTA on my P9 EVA L09C521B140? In the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586
I saw that the OTA for NXT-L09C521B140, it serves me the same? In what changes?
Thank you very much
I'm interested in this as well. I'm assuming you're interested in unbranding your phone as I am? Got it from a carrier, right?
If you find out anything regarding this please do let me know.

That post is old and it hasnt been updated it ages, if you want to know the latest firmware for your C521, best to download an app called Firmware Finder and check in there, B361 is the official released Android 7 firmware.

Hi, thanks for replying.
This is only the second day I have this new phone. I got it from my carrier so it has their brand at boot, the crappy bloatware they tend to put etc.
What I would like to do (at least until the devs manage to release a stable CM version for the phone) I'd like to get the OFFICIAL stock rom (unbranded, like bought from a store)
Could you point me somewhere where I could find how to do it, where to start etc? I'm all for learning myself but a start-point would be nice.
If I'm not mistaken, the model is EVA-L09 so C521 would be the variant? and B140 the firmware version, correct? And what's with the "cust" version at the bottom? carriers firmware?
Also, I've been reading and apparently NOUGAT is still in beta for these phones? So I guess I'd like to update to latest MM, and then update whenever they decide to release OTA.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT* TL;DR, Basically, I want to unbrand the phone. Remove my carriers bloatware. Just like a store bought phone.

If you look through the guide section of this forum, you will find what you been looking for. If you are looking at debranding and getting on to Nougat, you can follow this guide. Also, Nougat (EMUI 5.0) is now being officially rolling out but at a very slow pace.

Confusion about build numbers

Hi everyone !
I just add a misadventure with my Honor 5C (bricking it, basically). Since I didn't remember which firmware was installed beforehand, I went ahead and downloaded the latest build number proposed by looking for NEM-L51 in Huawei Firmware Finder. I didn't have any OS installed on my phone after bricking it, so I couldn't do an OTA and had to download a full version instead.
Now I have the build number NEM-L51C432B141. I know for sure I hadn't this version before, since I noticed some minor changes in the settings. Now is it a good thing ? Why didn't my phone updated to this version before ? Was it even supposed to ? Everything seems to work just fine, but...
I'm pretty confused about this whole build stuff anyway. What does it refer to ? I read somewhere that the C432 part had something to do with the location... If so, what about the rest of the number ?
And how to know which build I should be using ? If a new one is available ? Should I download them manually or just let my phone update at its own pace ? So many questions I'd be glad to find answer to.
Thank you for reading me. Hope someone can help me to understand, at least, a bit more.

thank you, but my phone was bricked but i fixed it thanks again
How did you fix it and which version ur running...plz I need help
I just got my phone, a VKY-L09 and its running B195 ...
I only seem to see B123 to latest B160 in stock firmware available.
I even tried using the aforementioned firmware finder.
Further, it seems that most of the roms (custom or otherwise) are biased on firmware many versions older.
I really want to root my phone but without a stock solution to flash I'm reluctant to do so.
Anyone have B195 stock or know where to find it?

It's because we're using the Canadian ( and probably be American) variant. Our build number is higher, but European builds are better. Try anything that's L09 B160, battery should improve

Thanks, I took your advice and downloaded a B162 build as a stock solution.

I highly recommend the Genesis ROM by @Blackball , it's really great.
It's what I'm using for now until I can get a working AOSP build created. Hopefully soon, I've been making progress

It seems I screwed up my data partition in my system and cant get the phone to make calls or the camera to work. Not even my backups get things working again.
Was thinking that If I need to flash stock or redo my phone fm scratch, may as well flash Genesis.
Can I just format data, wipe everything and flash the rom even on 192 base?
Or do I have to de-brand and install the 160 base to flash Genesis rom?

You can but he recommends rebranding to European L29. If I still had any FunkyHuawei credits left I'd hook you up but I've already used them

I tried to install it without re-branding and everything works except themes and phone info is messed up but other then that, everything seems as advertised. Thanks again for your advice and good luck with your AOSP build!

Firmware version for BL029 BL Unlock

Sorry guys, but I'm still confused about which FW versions can be BL unlocked and which can't.
I'm not familiar with the Huawei versioning in the naming of the firmwares.
Specifically, it's BLA-L29 8.0.0.150 C432 that I am wondering about. If someone feels like explaining the versioning in a sentence or two (or point me in the right direction), that would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
In one of the other messages treads some posted this link.

It was Quoted from this thread finally-unlock-bootloader-mate-10-pro-t3850111
I think the version system is different from how you listed. Some people talk about the 8.0.0.xxx With xxx being some thing 142 or 145 but the guides mostly use C432 and c636 for example. This C number you can see on the about software page in you phone as well as the xxx. It usually appears after the version like, 8.0.0.xxx(Cyyy).
The part I'm struggling with is that I have a two sim phone, BLA-L29 and most people her are loading BLA-L09 (single sim version) of software. i don't know if its compatible. I think they are as I've never seen an issue with any other phone in the past. People use to use the dual sim add on's and you never had to update the software to recognize the new sim tray. So I think I can load BLA-L09 but I'm not sure. Still doing my homework.
Thanks, I think I got it figured out now.
According to posts here in the forum, the unlock is not possible from versions >= 8.0.0.145 (which can be downgraded to ...142).
What wasn't clear to me, was the way the versioning works. But apparently it's simply counting up, so 145 is a later version than 136.

C432B142 is the last firmware where DC worked (for C432, other custs have other build numbers). B145 can be downgraded to B142. B146+ use new bootloader which can't be downgraded. So on B150 you will not be able to get an unlock code. I did however see some site which claimed it could get unlock code for any firmware, even on new devices. I'm not sure how reliable it is though and it cost €30

Just to clarify. BLA-L29 8.0.0.143 (C636Patch1) would be B143 so I can downgrade? This is the first time I'm seeing Bxxx.
