Hello everyone,
This thread is for the owners of a Huawei P20 Pro (CLT-L04) which Huawei sells in México and Canada. As a owner of this device, I find very difficult to find a carrier free firmware and FunkyHuawei does not support this version of the model.
I was trying to rebrand but I didn't do it because there isn't a lot of information for this version.
So, in an effort to concentrate all the information about that specific model I have created this thread.
Remember that you have less than 60 days to ask for a code.
Huawei will shut down support about unlocking bootloader codes.
If you successfully rebrand you CLT-04, please reply with a source or your experience about it
Greetings, Mr.P
It's not supported per se as no there are no updates directly from Funkyhuawei, but if you rebrand it to a supported model it should be fine, I did it with a Mate 10 and I'm just waiting to get a dual sim tray to rebrand it
I asked FunkyHuawei and was told there was certain risk of bricking my phone so I didnt try as they said it would be permanent... If someone tries and get it working I'd definitely do it. As a Mexican I know Telcel will take ages to update this device, we're still on 102 (c69) firmware ¬¬
Im from Vancouver, bought my P20 Pro from Hong Kong, as the twilight wasnt being sold here yet. Im guessing its on the HK firmware CLT-L29
Canadian owner here, will be waiting to see how it goes if any CLT-L04's get rebranded.

Sorry for the noob question. Rebranding meaning CLT-04 to CLT29 for example? If so, I was going to try CLT-29 on the weekend form this site https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei...t_of_Huawei_P20_Pro_Stock_Firmware_collection
Some people is rebranding CLT-09 to CLT-29 and viceversa. the question is... Will it work with CLT-04??
Here is the guide for rebranding. Still looking for info before try this...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/guide-how-to-root-debrand-remove-retail-t3788326
yeah same here. if anyone had success would greatly appreciate the steps.
Yes the steps of the tutorial for rebranding clt-09 to clt-29 works with this model
I'm from Mexico and have this model and the first day I unlock the bootloader before too late and then l follow that tutorial for rebranding and delete the crap apps from telcel.
A very useful tip from my to you, first make a backup using the unofficial twrp. NOT THE OFFICIAL. Because the oficial won't work well with this model and don't allow you to make the backup until you format data

Did you rebrand for a Dual-sim?
I know you have a single-sim because I have the same P20 Pro from Telcel.
Did the bootloader code change?
I want to change to a dual-sim before the time for unlock the bootloader expires.

So bye bye your 2 years warranty from Huawei Mexico, correct? Thats the only thing holding me from unlocking my Telcel P20 pro. I already have the code as i didnt want to lose the opportunity but just dont want to lose my warranty.
Yeah! I prefer lose warranty.
There have too much crap trash apps and outdated firmware so you can't have the full potential of this beast phone.
And more because some guy already ported Huawei camera with all the functions to project treble and more specified to lineage OS

I don't have the dual sim tray to try it, in that tread people say you need to put the two Sims to get dual sim functionality if not you see only one sim option on the settings menu
Just rebranded mine, L29 C432 still on .120 and no update available OTA. Did you receive any update?
CLT-L04 bought in Mexico here, just rebranded to CLT-L29 following the steps posted here. No issues so far besides Google Photos not downloading my pictures. Had to uninstall the app through adb commands and reinstalling again.
BTW, I'm not receiving the last update either. Still looking for a way to install manually.

Use the phone for 1 month, swim with it, test it as there is no tomorrow. I would prefer lose the warranty, and I am more sure because they give you 2 years of warranty. Huawei know they are selling high quality products.
Besides, the warranty in this case with the carrier, not Huawei directly.

Did the IMEI and bootloader code change?
Did you try to relock? Maybe you were able to use OTA again

Phone model: PRA-LX1
Serial number: PRA-LX1C02B156
Emui: 5.0.1 (Android 7.0)
Thanks.
For debranding your device you have to unlock your bootloader first.
Then you can follow the guide for changing the device from Single to Dual sim (I link it for you here): https://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1326478 (guide is in Spanish,use Google Translate if you encount any problem)

I also have a chinese version P20 PRO CLT-AL00 8.1.0.108(sp3c00).
Will it lose some hardware functions?
What about warranty ? All I want would be to have a normal European software inside with google apps and so on.
In case I have a problem I would install the backup of the current firmware and send it to repairs in China.
How in a quickly overview can I do this ? I know about TWRP but I am not sure if I can just copy the firmware from one L29 to my L00 and just hope for the best..
I successfully rebranded and installed a european firmware (CLT-L29 8.1.0.120 (C432)) with FunkyHuawei. The Huawei stock apps are replaced with Google stock apps. I haven't loss any noticeable functionality.
The UK Huawei team is the only team I encounter that actually helps with customers, especially with assisting unlocking bootloaders. I would consider sending the phone to them before China.
Warranty is voided when bootloader is unlocked and the device is rooted. UK Huawei team gives several warnings about warranty while obtaining the unlock code for the bootloader.
Do you an an e-mail contact for the Huawei UK team?

Mine is the chinese version too, I’ve asked Huawei UK for the code. What’s the procedure to rebrand it?

There's instructions provided and Funky Huawei will happily help you through the process if you get stuck or confused.
In general,
Unlock Bootloader
Setup DNS server to point to FunkyHuwaei
Boot to Fastboot
Run rebrand tool with device connected
Choose region
Choose firmware
Boot to eRecovery
Run update
Wait and reboot, success
You'll encounter errors and will have to run the tool twice. This is normal.
Sorry for replying in an older thread but I didn't want to create a new one for a similar question.
I have a P20 Pro bought from China, as I had problems using my S8+ with China sims, but I would like to bring to EU firmware as it has chinese voice control menus with chinese commands that cannot be changed to english. Google is there as a separate menu but it doesn't include Wake Up command like the native functionalities in the Voice control menu.
Is there a way to bring it to EU firmware but unroot it after I'm done? Reason is I have insurance to cover my phone back in UK but I'm not sure whether it will cover it if it's rooted.
Can anyone tell me how to convert my HUAWEI P10 VTR-L09 to a dual sim?
I need detailed instructions please.
You need HWOTA to rebrand your phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/huawei-p10-debrand-rebrand-update-guide-t3691013
Note that an unlocked bootloader is required. Since Huawei doesn't issue the codes anymore this may cost you a few euros (e.g. DCUnlocker).

I am not sure. Huawei changed the bootloader a few months ago, which makes it impossible to roll back to older versions. I sold my P10, so I do not follow its developments anymore. So please check in the thread.

If you search on Bootloader unlock on XDA you should find a lot of discussions, and that Huawei no longer provides you must buy from eg DC Unlocker (search also for that on XDA), 4 Eur credit
There are other services but more expensive
But if you are on c900 you maybe already did rebranding in the past (or somebody sold you a rebranded phone with a 'wrong' cust) - Bootloader code is one and the same for patticular phone, if you have it from the past you can reuse it

Hi there
I have bought a second hand VOG-L29 Dual Sim 256 Gb/8Gb model few weeks a go. For many years i have used Samsung's amiral ships so this i want to use two phone paralel for a while to make sure this decision is true for me.
My device build number and model was 9.1.0.108 (SP2C900E108R1P7) and coudn't update via OTA or hi suite. So i started to search xda for OTG/Download mode update like i know from Samsung's. I have change rom's of my device with stock or custom many times in old devices and had no problem but in Huawei i get error " Your device has loaded a different operating system" I have try two version of rom files which publish in here 10.0.0.186 for C431 and C432.
May be i have choose wrong rom because i can't be sure whole model number which seems like 9.0.0.108(SP2C900E108R1P7).
Help me to find necessary rom version for my p30 pro and i can install it via erecovery OTG/microsd/usb update method.
Thank You

Hi m8,
Usually C900 is the version of the cust that gets flashed another firmware from another device and messes it up. Was your phone bought from a retailer? Do you have an option to return it and get an replacement?
What could bevthe issue? There are 2 options about it :
1. It was a VOG unit intented to be used by the on-line/offline testers or some reviewers and usually those tests devices has C900 cust (in that case it means NO OTA or other updates);
2. It had another cust and previous owner used paid services (as Funky Huawei) to flash firmwares and flashed a wrong one whitch f####d up the cust and without unlocked bootlader you can't change it or rebrand it.
As long as you cannot unlock the bootloader you will be stucked with this problem, even you flash C431 or C432 firmware.

Thanks for your reply i searched so many forms but no one has information that you have. I think i don't have chance to return it because device has no warranty so now i looked for other your idea about funky huawei or unlock bootloader. If there is a chance to make it with gsm repair shops helps i will try or is there any method to unlock bootlader from adb in recovery mode.

Short version :
1. Funky Huawei had an offer of unlocking bootloader codes for 200$, unlock bootloader code that for other OEM's IS FREE (Somy, Samsung, Xiaomi, etc)!!!. I don't reccomend paying a cent to them.
2. On GSM service centers they could change your phone's motherboard (it costs ~300$, depending on version - L29+8GB RAM+512 GB storage). Maybe take a visit to some GSM repair service or search on ebay/amazon for motherboard and buy one then get replaced in a service center.
Hope you get it done, somehow
