Been working towards debranding my P9 from L09C34 (optus/au) to L09C636 (hw/asia).
Tried following all the guides and consistently ending up with C900 firmware, but managed to successfully roll back to the original C34, with version number displayed correctly on the phone.
My question is this:
In the C34 firmware that came with the phone (and that i've been using to roll back) AND the C636 firmware, BOTH firmwares have only two lines in VERLIST.IMG:
EVA_C900B000
EVA_Global
How then, does this part of the debrand process affect the version number displaying correctly, if both the successful original firmware and the unsuccessful C636 firmware have the same entries?
I had the same issue with wife's P9 Optus rom is based on the Global Version. EVA_C900 you need to flash both rom and data partition

Thanks. I managed to successfully get back to the Optus firmware with the correct version displaying - but I still haven't cracked the de-brand without it showing C900 firmware - from what I read, C900 is a cross-flash firmware and will not get OTA updates. My main concern was getting the Nougat update, which has apparently started appearing on the unbranded devices.
Did you manage to de-brand your wife's phone to C636? Does it show the correct firmware version in 'about phone'?
I tried to debrand my C34 to C636 as well but ultimately, I gave up on it and went to the debranded C432 UK version. There are plenty of info on this forum on how to do it and there is no lose in functionality and it works perfectly fine with the AU carriers. Realistically, apart from the build having C432 instead of C636, you wouldnt see or feel a difference between the 2 models. If anything, C432 will get updates sooner than C636 (as proven with Nougat).
Hello my cell phone, has the C900 compilation and has android 6, I would like to know how to go to the C432 compilation?
Thaks!
I have C900 too. There's a way to change I think but the C432 updates, if you download them and install manually, are compatible. It's how I've been updating my phone ever since I bought it. I have installed B380 update currently. There's a newer one but some folks are having trouble with it so I haven't updated yet.

Hi I was wondering if it's possible to rebrand my phone using this tool :https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Via twrp as my l09 c782 p20 pro is still stuck on 103 firmware whilst c432 is up to 120 firmware.
Pretty crap being so far behind on the firmware train when paying £800 for a phone
I dont think so, try the huawei funky rebranding tool. I do havr the c432 but its stiil on 107 no 120 update for me
Hello. I have a Huawei P9 EVA DL00, on it EMUI 8.0.0 / Android 8.0.0. Is it possible to port the EMUI 9 firmware from Huawei P10 / Honor 9 or another device to our P9 on it. We have Kirin 955, and on the Huawei P10 / Honor 9 Kirin 960. Who can port?
It's is possible?!

I don't know have you really been originally on that cust c451, or you rebranded to c451 as part of going back to stock / rolling back to MM
Anyway, c451 is a dead end, check on FirmwarFinder or at:
https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=EVA-L09c451
you will see that EMUI 4.1, b131/b132 are the last ever firmwares for c451
You need to rebrand to some 'proper' cust like c432 (European), c636, or so, to be able to obtain OTA updates up to EMUI 5, like it was described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2
Rebranding to c432 is crucial. If updating to b182 as described there will fail, you should be able to reinstall c432 b182 (or newer c432) by eRecovery, or by flashing service restore c432b182 (but there are no service restores for c451 and no Nougat firmwares for c451)

Thanks for the reply,
No, ive been originally on c451. I dindt change anything on this device. I bought it at amazon almost 3 years ago, and apparently it was a "telstra" phone, i think from Australia, altought in amazon it said unlocked. Now im using Movistar network in Argentina.
Ok then, the question is, is there any way to know that after rebranding to c432 or another cust my device will work properly? i mean phone signal (the most important thing), camera, fingerprint sensor, etc.

Hardware is always the same, rebranding puts the other cust.
And with cust c432 you should receive OTA updates up to b504/b505
If not, for some reason (then it is possible to force DLOAD or HWOTA updates
Btw, responding you now from L09c432 rebranded to AL10c00 (Chinese), with Oreo b540 (Oreo was released for P9 only in China) and with some adaptations (Chinese firmwares are specific), everything works ok.
If you search throughout XDA, you will find many users (for all kinds of Huawei models) rebrand here and there, usually to c432 or c636 since they obtain faster and more updates (except for Chinese AL10, AL00, DL10 and alike that get first and farthest OTA updates, but Chinese firmwares require adaptations to become useful worldwide: bloatware, missing GApps, missing intl languages and configurations for intl carriers, and so)
Btw, didn't you previously say that you returned to stock (from custom ROM?) - in that case you must have Bootloader code (for rebranding you need to start with the unlocked Bootloader - have also OEM/FRP unlocked)
Edit: Btw, this is a wrong thread for discussing the update of stock MM firmware to Nougat

OK thank you! iwill do it
no, i was telling what happened with a previous device, gx8.
Hello guys,
Quick question. Does anybody know where to get official 9.1 OR 10.0 firmware for C605 phones? My current version shows 9.0.0.263 (C605E2R1P11). I'm using my phone with MINT mobile. No OTA updates available...
Modded hisuite and huawei firmware finder
EMUI 10 for P20 Pro was not released globally yet.
Stupid question, do you have an active SIM in the phone? Initial OTA might not arrive without a SIM.
Also, I can suggest using HiSuite on a PC, it also can find new versions when you don't see OTA.
Yes, I have active SIM in my phone. But nothing happens OTA. As far as HiSuite goes, I tried a regular (non modified) version and also no updates found.
I was wondering if there are users with C605 region that have 9.1 firmware installed and how/where did they get it. I know there are some web resources that host firmware but I'm skeptical to use them without references...
The EMUI 10 you see on firmware finder is only for india region

Can somebody tell how exactly this method is used? I found the modded Hisuite and installed it and replaced files. But got No internet error. Also, not completely understanding how the FF is used along with Hisuite for installation. Thanks.
