Rebranding chinese P20 pro - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I'm a little ignorant on this subject, so I'll ask all my questions here. Please, be kind...
I'm moving from a brazilian Xperia XZ to a chinese P20 Pro (my father-in-law works there) and I know that I need to do a rebranding.
But the question is: For which firmware/local?
What I found until now is that the phone has a FW version (is that correct?) CLT-AL00.
Thanks in advance for the answers!

You need to use FunkyHuawei rebranding tool and firmware installation. I had the same model and rebranded to European version CLT-L29. It removed all the Chinese language and made the phone 100% English, which was my goal.
First: Obtain unlock code for the bootloader from Huawei. Contact UK Team.
Second: Create account on FunkyHuawei and buy enough credits to rebrand and install firmware (FunkyHuawei will help you choose the correct ones, ask them)
Third: Follow instructions and contact FunkyHuawei team if you have problems using their tools.
Notes:
After rebranding and firmware installation, you're bootloader will continue to display a message that you're bootloader is unlock and untrust. To fix that, just lock the bootloader again with your unlock code. Don't lose it.
Fastboot mode = Connect USB + Power Down + Volume Down
eRecovery mode = Connect USB + Power Down + Volume Up
Rebranding is not permanent. You change the region again if you want. Same with the firmware.
If you need to recovery for some reason, eRecovery might work with Huawei servers. If eRecovery doesn't work using the normal method, use FunkyHuawei to recover again with firmware installation.
Backup everything before recovering. Cloud backup, PC backup, or whatever method you choose. Keep a record of your system information. Example: IMEI, Serial Number, Serial Number. Some tools can modify these for some reason, so if that happens, you have the necessary numbers to restore. Screenshot them from Settings app and Backup those screenshots.
If you have 2-step authentication apps on your phone, backup those settings or keys before rebranding or installing/recoverying firmware, or you will lose access to certain services.

That was helpful, thank you!
Wow, about $50usd to rebrand? There goes the savings I had buying the China version lol

The phone arrives today and I find that it already comes with 8.1. Can I rebranding with the same method?

You can also do the same for free. There is my tutorial and files which you need

How can I lock the boot loader again after I have unlocked it?

OK, I understand myself
Use fastboot OEM relock xxxxxxxxxx

This is kind of random, but if i purchase the Chinese variant of this phone does anyone know if it would work on CDMA technology (Verizon)

Where/how to find the rebranding codes
Hi all,
I do have the same issue... I have a Chinese version P20 Pro which I would like get into the European version.
I’ve contacted huawei support but they told me that the unlocking codes are no more available for end users . Is there any solution ?
To have the Chinese version does not allow me to have wathsapp etc.
Thanks for you help.

You can do almost everything with the chinese version, you just need to install the Google Apps by yourself (sideloading) first.

International ROM for EVA-AL10

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

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.

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)?

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"

Modify EVA-DL00 for 'non-chinese'/international use

Hi XDA guys,
I got a Huawei P9 EVA-DL00 from China and want to use it in Europe (Germany). As I don't know Chinese I would like to change language/region properties to make it as international as possible. I'm not sure what is the smartest way to do so: keep and modify the original ROM as far as possible and accept it's limitations or to flash a different ROM.
To keep the chinese firmware seems to have a couple of limitations though, i.e even after changing region settings to my needs there are still only chinese language settings in the stock browser, lock screen and others, I couldn't find Google play store in HiApp (and ended up installing an apk from a site that I don't know if it's trustful), HiVoice is in Chinese and so on. Therefore my prefered solution is to install a different firmware to make my phone similar to the international P9 version EVA-L19 with CUST C432 - but I don't know if this is possible at all and in which limitations/problems this would result.
Currently my firmware is EVA-DL00C17B183, I received it OTA in Germany right after connecting the device with the internet for the first time. The service menu reports vendor: unicom, country: cn - no sim lock. So is it possible to flash a EVA-L19 ROM on my device at all? Somewhere I read flashing a chinese model with a european firmware would end up in having a C900 firmware that doesn't receveive major OTA updates, is this correct?
I'm not really familiar with unlocking/rooting/flashing mobile phones. I'm for sure willing to find out how this needs to be done - this doesn't mean I don't appreciate any hints - but I am a bit worried to brick the mobile and I would prefer to do a manual flash only as an initial step and be able to receive OTA updates also for major updates (such as Android 7.0 one day) later on in the future. Furthermore I would like to have a 100% working and reliable mobile and not to end up with a not properly working hardware support or whatever. All in all I don't know if it's worthy to take the 'trouble' of flashing a different ROM.
Thanks for any information and help!

I got a P9 from my tour in China. I like its dual lens feature. Leica is another reason. My old mobile phone needed charging three times in two days and I lost battery charge for my camera. I easily changed the language setting. Most of the apps don't work well in US. I downloaded google store, through which I installed most apps used in my old phone. However there are a few good Huawei apps that I keep using. Another feature I like is the dual SIM slot, through which I expanded its memory.

Only way to do it is to first unlock bootloader and flash TWRP and root. Then u must change oeminfo and custom with SrkTool Huawei. If u dont have experience on flashing and root i would stay away from trying.
Have you found a way to make it 'non-chinese'? Struggling with the same problem now and wondering if it would be possible to just install stock android since the problem is with EMUI.

Hi, is possible to unlock the bootloader on this model (DL00)? Because, i tried but it says "failed (remote: command not allowed)"
Thanks
@Stieglers due to a lack of time I didn't complete the process yet, but I'm very optimistic it is possible.
@EtiZimm It is possible to unlock the bootloader of DL00. I got the unlock code from the Huawei website (am not allowed to post an external link: emui[dot]huawei[dot]com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail - login with Huawei ID necessary).
Once you received this code - in my case I received instantly - you can unlock the bootloader either manually with adb (USB driver needed):
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock <unlock code>
or with SRK Tool (I would just avoid v2.0 as virus scanner reports the main exe to be malware infected).

5. Enabling dual-sim features on single-sim phones.
6. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
You do not need to unlock your bootloader, or void your warranty to use the service. (except the free rooting feature)
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclusive-att-huawei-mate-10-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
FunkyHuawei, due to popular request, is now offering an unlimited pass. You can break your phone all you want, and turn to FunkyHuawei to unbrick it however many times you need to. You can also install all the latest updates, beta versions, and so on, without worrying about spending credits. You can check out more details on FH's reddit or homepage.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Mate 10/Mate 10 Pro Device-Specific Information
WARNING: Huawei has considerably improved the security of the Mate 10 compared to previous models.
This means that it is extremely easy to brick the phone if you don't know what you are doing.
FunkyHuawei tools are safe and will not brick your phone, but if you do end up bricking your phone by trying other methods, you can contact FunkyHuawei for help.
All FunkyHuawei features are currently working on the Mate 10, including installing software, recovering bricks, and rebranding.
FunkyHuawei is also offering a new, free feature to root your phone, but rooting will cause the following issue:
-You will lose your data partition, including any carrier/vendor customizations-
To root and rebrand a phone with an unlocked bootloader, please google for the "FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding Tool"
To rebrand a phone with a locked bootloader, please google for the "FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool"
With these tools, a full rebrand is possible. You can get OTA updates, and the phone will function entirely like a phone from its new region.
Old methdos do not work with the Mate 10, so you will need to use one of those tools.
To install a firmware update which matches the branding of your phone, you can use the eRecovery method posted in the instructions section of the FunkyHuawei page.
However, when installing a firmware update the first time after using a rebranding tool, you must use a specific version of HiSuite. Please see the instructions included with the tool for more information.
Recommended Branding: ALP-L29 C636 hw/spcseas
We see the most frequent firmware updates for this model, so we recommend everyone rebrand to it for fastest updates.
NOTE: If you want to rebrand a Single-Sim device to Dual-Sim, you MUST use the "FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool" with a locked bootloader. If you use the Mate 10 tool you can rebrand, but you will not gain dual sim functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!

Unfortunately, no. You will lose root if you flash the updates, and will need to root again afterwards, each time, if you want root.
Take note that the Mate 10 is extremely easy to brick if you touch the wrong things, so be careful with what you do as root!

It's just a slow download, due to your geographic location being far from the server. If you are in Vietnam, you'll get better speed by choosing ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) and not 119. Or you can wait for the slower download for the newest version.
To be clear, if you're using eRecovery, this is AFTER you already successfully installed once with HiSuite, right?
If HiSuite downloads faster you can do the second install with HiSuite too.

You'd still need to use FunkyHuawei to install 119, so no... not until the OTA is pushed out by Huawei.

Yes, that's correct.
Second install is done same way as first install, but should reach 100%.

Bootloader Unlock -> Questions , Firmware : VTR-L09 8.0.0.382

Hello All.
I am relativly new to the XDA forum. Mostly i read stuff here, to get very good infos about problems you can run into, and i was able to solve them by reading some threads here. So really glad something like this exit ! Now i think i need to be a lil bit more active inside XDA to get more precise answers. I am a bit confused about the topic: "Bootloader Unlock". So i don´t know which solution might be the best to acomplish my task : get "bootloader unlock" / "root" & "TWRP" on my Huawei P10.
This is my Model :
HUAWEI P10 : VTR-L09
Firmware : VTR-L09 8.0.0.382
Since the official-Huawei sites which provided the "Bootloader Unlock" has been closed, i only found these non-Huawei sites, which promise to provide the "Bootloader Unlock":
1.) Ministry of Solutions ( hxxps_//ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-htm )
2.) Global Unlocking Solutions ( hxxps_//global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below )
3.) Funky Huawei ( hxxps_//funkyhuawei.club/buycodes )
4.) Huawei Sim Unlock ( hxxps_//xxx.huaweisimunlock.com/huawei-unlock-prices.html#prices )
5.) DC - Unlocker ( hxxps_//xxx.dc-unlocker.com/ )
6.) HCU - Client ( hxxps_//hcu-client.com/features/ )
(can´t provide Links, because new user)
I guess these "pay"-method services are the only way to get your codes for the "Bootloader Unlock" !? Can anyone confirm, that these listed-services, or some of them works ? (Sadly DC-Unlocker didn´t worked for me. Maybe i´ve done something wrong)
a.) Is it correct, that you need to rollDown from Oreo to Nougat to unlock your bootloader ? (i got Oreo on my phone)
b.) You can´t even think of to "root" your phone and get "TWRP" on it, before you don´t unlocked the Bootloader ? (Or are there maybe other methods to get "root" & "TWRP" onto P10)
It would be great, if someone can give some hints, expirences, or Links to another threads which handles this topic. When on both questions a.) & b.) the answer is = true, so my biggest problem than is, to get my phone unlocked (Bootloader unlock) !
Thanks in advance

No! You still can unlock your bootloader with Oreo installed. You just need the unlock code.

Yes, you need TWRP to root your phone, because you need to flash either SuperSU or Magisk. With stock recovery it's not possible, but you can flash stock recovery after you rooted, if you wish.
This are the direct anwers to your questions, now I'll go a bit further:
Unlock:
DC Phoenix is the only tool which I confirm it's working to unlock the phone.
You're right, Huawei stopped to provide the unlock code to "provide the best expierence for all users". I call this bull****, since DC Phoenix and FunkyHuawei are driven by Huawei.
But if you want to unlock, the only way is to pay - and DC Phoenix works (don't ask me how, I never used it, I just read many posts about it) - it's also cheap with $4.
NOTICE: AN UNLOCK WILL CAUSE A FACTORY RESET!
TWRP:
I can recommend the TWRP by @espaciosalter20 even it's just for testing purpose.
For me it works very well. This version also supports /data decryption (it's the only version for P10 atm, I believe).
Root:
The best way to root is with Magisk, because it's a safe method and the tweaks as systemless installed. This is good for passing SafetyNet, even if it doesn't work for every app (SafetyNet is a check if your phone is unlocked and rooted, some apps check it, mostly banking apps, but also games like Mario Run).
For this, you need to unlock and install TWRP. After this you can proceed installing Magisk.
- Just download the latest stable zip, the manager apk and also the uninstaller, if something went wrong.
- Make a backup of /system if it makes problems while or after installing.
- Install the Magisk zip via TWRP
- Boot the phone (takes a bit!)
- Install the Manager app.
- Done.
If you want to unroot you can either flash your /system backup or update your phone to the same or a newer version with my guide.
I hope this answered all questions!
Have fun with your P10 - and backup your unlock code if you got one!
Thx for the detailed answer !
I´ve done allready rooting with my current Honor 6 (yeah, its also a huawei brand). And it worked smoothly. Because i don´t needed huawei or any service to get a "Bootloader Unlock"-Code.
I got my unlock Code by an App !!! Don´t believe it ? Its called "HonorTuner" ( hxxps_//forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/unlock-code-via-honortuner-t3217651 ). Really a great App. But it seems it only works for older Honor-Devices. I wish something like that app would exist for Huawei P10. Anyways, just wanted to say, that doing the rooting on "P10" is pain in the ass (without a bootloader unlock code).
As said before, i didn´t managed to get a unlock code or to unlock the bootloader with the tool DC-Unlocker. Do you know whats the difference between DC-Unlocker & DC-Phoenix ? I think i need a step-by-step Tutorial to get it working with DC-Phoenix / DE-Unlocker. The last time, i tried it with DC-Unlocker it went wrong, and i lost money . Therefore i just want to be prepared, with a tutorial on it.
@absynteZero created a guide, maybe this helps.
Thx very much @Jannomag. I think this is exactly what i was searching for. I will try it out, as soon as i get some more time. Afterwards i will give you here some feedback about my P10 Bootloader unlock / rooting / -story
I am back. (or better to say my phone)
Now with a little help of this forum, i succeeded to "unlock the Bootloader". Thx to the provided links of "Jannomag". My TWRP version was from this links and the guide-how-to. It was very well explained.
So i can confirm that DC-Unlocker (DC-unlocker client software V1.00.1403) works with an Huawei P10 Oreo OS. I just paid 4,-eur to get 4-credits and with it you can read out the Bootloader Code. It is important
that your ADB Drivers recognize your phone. You can check it by typing into the CMD "adb devices", it should display you your phone serial number. Best way to install all nescecary drivers is to install the actual HiSuite, because everything goes automaticly. Next step is to Start DC-Unlocker, connect your phone to PC, find your phone inside DC-Unlocker (there must be shown a COM-x port with a number). After this step you need to log-in within DC-Unlocker Server (after you paid 4,-eur , you got a user name + password). Finaly you can click on "unlocking" and "read Bootloader Code". In few seconds you got your Code. You should copy n pasta this Code somewhere onto your SD-Card / PC.
After my Bootloader was unlocked, i was able to install TWRP and with TWRP i was able to install Magisk v18.0 , the newest version. I was also able to update my OREO ver. VTR-L09 8.0.0.382(C02)-FULL to VTR-L09 8.0.0.389(C02)-FULL with TWRP oreoupdate , Tutorial-2 ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286 ). Mission accomplished

Can you please confirm it worked even it says in the warning:
WARNING:
Huawei P10 VTR-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
Huawei P10 plus VKY-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
I am asking as I tried to unlock bootloader thru https://ministryofsolutions.com but got refunded as "Huawei has updated security and its impossible to read bootloader unlock code on new firmwares. Only 30 euro service can unlock latest firmware bootloader. "
Thanks!
Trust me ... as long as you have an Oreo OS, you are able to read the Bootloader Code. Its seems its not a big deal for DC-Unlocker. And in comparison to 30,-eur ... 4,-eur seems much cheaper . I really don´t like these methods and i am angry Huawei closed their possibility to get a Code from them, i was forced to use such a service. However, the first time i tried DC-Unlocker it didn´t worked because i was unknown about the procedure. I lost 15,-eur. And gladly i found help on this forum here. With some detailed guides / tutorials it worked for me on a second try. Give it a try. You really need to follow the instructions in the guides. Thats it.

Hi,
Have you used DC-Unlocker tool or DC-Phoenix? (Not shure about differences)
Here is what Dc-unlocker support told to me: (My info: P10 Vtr-L09. 8.0.0.381 (C432).)
"We do not have bootloader unlock service at all. Chances to read bootloader unlock code from your mobile version on our tool is very low as well."
So I'm noy sure to try...

It is really sad that there is no central point for finding the information about unlocking the boatloader for P10 phones.
I used LOS, CM, AOSP, CAF and cousins for more than 5 years on at least 6-7 devices and now feel completely helpless to be able to use OpenKirin. On XDA P10/P10+ forums lots of posts are outdated as they are pre Oreo updates and on OpenKirin chat it is a no-no question.
Just not sure how the development is supposed to stay alive longer for these beautiful phones...

You should be able to use DCUnlocker, but you may need to downgrade first (my guess is to a firmware version before July 2018). Downgrading can be done with the dload method, but it works only with specific firmware versions, check: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78558134&postcount=41
A new unlock method is also available via the Big Huawei Exploits telegram group. This is free but a bit complicated.

Look for @huaweihax on Telegram.
Guys,
You don´t need a downgrade, at all !!!
You just need to download DC-Unlocker. Read the Links of the guides in the first posts. Thats it . Don´t waste time downgrading VTR-L09 to Nougat. Just start unlock with OREO. And whats the Problem here ? 4,- eurs ?? C´mon. Buying a "Kebap" for 4,-eurs or geting Bootloader-Codes for 4,-eurs. Think about. I also mentioned whats really important & all posts before explained everything. Nothing more to say. I also had an email conversation with the support team from DC-Unlocker. They told me the same....but i think the guy for the support don´t know everything (because he is not the dev, of course). So in the end its your descition. I can confirm that i read out Bootloader Code on 2x Huawei P10 : C02 & C432 Phones with both Oreo OS on it with DC-Unlocker !!! ... Nevertheless i wish you success & braveness.
(Please...nobody can destroy his phone. Why this panic ? It is a "read out" not "writing". Just reading out a Code for a Bootloader. You can get panic when you are "writing" f.e. new recovery.img / new OS, and so on. This can destroy your phone if you do something wrong. I allready get into Bootloop, no boot into OS etc. Than i got into panic. But this is a different story)
Hi there, i can confirm similar to sledgehammer, the DC Unlocker worked for my P10plus already with OREO, i was able to read the bootloader code. The latest DC Unlocker version shows detailed the procedure to correctly read this code. You simply have to follow these instructions. the 4 EUR was it worth.
@Sledgeham @dc_01 What was the security patch of the oreo versions you unlocked with DCUnlocker? Were they before July 2018?
No patches, just used software that was on the phone (i bought 2nd hand). These 2x Huawei p10 phones were "vanilla". No Bootloader unlock, no ROOT etc. Just as it is. First phone was: VTR-L09 8.0.0.382 (C02) and i MANUALLY UPDATED this to VTR-L09 8.0.0.389 (C02) (after Bootloader unlock, with TWRP). Second phone was: VTR-L09 8.0.0.376 (C432) and i MANUALLY UPDATED this to VTR-L09 8.0.0.379 (C432) (after Bootloader unlock, with TWRP).
I think security patch was written something with 01.01.2019 and the other was something dec. 2018. But i didn´t pay much attention onto this dates. I think the exact dates you can get from the ROM vers. which was provided on a specific date, if its important for you. In my opinion get "Bootloader Code" with Dc-unlocker from OREO shouldn´t be that hard. For me it was much more work to find out which version i can update manually (C02 and C432).

Thanks for your answer. I am trying to find out why some users report that DCUnlocker works and others that it doesn't. In July Huawei patched a vulnerability that allowed retrieving bootloader codes, so I thought this may be the key. But apparently it's not!

hi there, i did the bootloader task in November 2018, at this time, the phone had applied the latest firmware. So it should be beyond July 2018. I suggest, give it a try. The worst that can happen: you may lose 4€. For me it worked with a second try, because i did not follow the instructions correctly. So you need to set USB to manufacturer mode ( see DC homepage ) to allow DC app to recognize your phone. When following correctly, the thing is done within seconds.

If it was sold as single SIM (L09), you cannot 'transform' (by changing firmware) to dual SIM (L29), because there are hardware differences.
For any flashing (changing cust for stock firmware, custom ROM, rooting, TWRP) you have to buy Bootloader code and unlock Bootloader (it is possible but the code is costly)

They are expensive. I'm also waiting for their answer (people say they answer from time to time, they depend on an insider, when he is able...):
https://imei.by/delivery
Ministry can also do it, little cheaper (40$) but you will need to open back cover and connect Testpoint pins. Minister will need Team Viewer remote access to your PC. I guess (didn't go for, waiting if I can buy from the first above) he will low-level flash an old Oreo, where from it was possible to generate BL code. Then he would, IMO, update back to Pie. Guy told me the operation might take an hour or two:
https://ministryofsolutions.com/paid-services/amp
I was also told that those can provide the code but for ridiculously high price (you can ask them):
https://funkyhuawei.club/
Finally, don't use them, they only unlock BL for one-time (and high price) you don't get the code:

Many thread speak about rebranding from single to dual but nead unlooking bootloader
Can i flash other update with last security patch; because mine is still on march and nothing via official updater menu

Exactly for VTR-L09 or some other Huawei model (it's not the same)
A year ago I played for a week and rebranded EVA-L09 to L19, tried a lot but it never became dual SIM.
To the other side, similar rebranding to dual SIM model worked fine and straightforward for P9 Lite
Edit: You could have provide a link to spread info and help the community (if single SIM P10 can be really rebranded to dual SIM)
This is what i got with MT tool
Can i install one of those updates and if ok how can i perform it
Thank's
