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).

[HELP] Will I ever be able to unlock bootloader again?

Hi all. So I recently bricked my device while trying to update to oreo.
What I did was rebrand my device from PRA-LA1 to PRA-AL00X(P8 Lite 2017 to Honor 8 Lite) which was required for updating to Oreo. After that, I typed in the command from TWRP to install the update.zip, but nothing happened so I rebooted my device. It boots up as Honor and my eRecovery and fastboot still works, but my bootloader locked when I rebranded.
As I'm typing this, I managed to connect to WiFi and its downloading the firmware, but what I was wondering is will it be possible again to unlock bootloader again? Because my IMEI number obviously changed since rebranding and I didn't save the unlock code so I was wondering if I manage to unbrick this device if it'll be possible to unlock bootloader again with the new IMEI. Any help will be appreciated.

Huawei P8 bricked with locked FRP & BL

Hi, guys. I have a huge problem and I'd appreciate every kind of help.
As I was planning to sell my Huawei P8 lite 2017 phone (PRA-LX1), I've decided to relock the already unlocked bl for warranty reasons.
After relock and factory reset process, the phone does not restart al all, but it gets into eRecovery mode, asking to connect to internet in order to download a new firmware.
But the problem is there is a "getting package info failed" message.
I've tried to enter in fastboot mode, and both BL and FRP are locked (green color)
I have even tried to use the dload method, but update stucks at 5%.
What can I do? I've searched a lot of pages here before I open this thread.
Thanks in advance.
you may have bl unkock code use it
I have the unlock code, but I cannot use it due to locked FRP.

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.

Mate 10 Pro BLA-L09 8.0.0112(C652)

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.

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried to update with the sim card inserted, it does not work.
I contacted huawei and they said that the firmware was for demo phones, so can not be updated in normal ways.
If I unlocked the bootloader would this help update? I have not heard of this.

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
