I have a C782 P20 Pro, now bootloader unlocked via ToolAllInOne and now I need help.
I'm stuck.
Recently, I updated to .282 firmware via the DNS method. I want to get off C782 onto C432 and this is where i'm having issues.
I purchased credits for FH and have now realised I need to be on Oreo!! I can't roll back to Oreo via Hi Suite, it doesn't give me the option since .282.
Root seems straight forward via TWRP but then i've seen posts of phones being bricked on TWRP. Bricking it would be a nightmare.
I need help getting Magisk on firstly. The guides I have read on here are from 2018, links don't work and i'm not sure the instructions still apply to Pie.
After that i'll see if I can work out how to rebrand.

For Rooting with Magisk on Pie I followed the guide posted by smohanv https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...awei-p20-pro-charlotte-l29c432b131-8-t3809964
The only difference is I had to get the latest RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_282.img using the below method
1. Download the matching firmware for your device using Firmware finder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder&hl=en_GB
2. Unzip the downloaded update_full_base.zip then extract recovery_ramdisk.img from the Update.app using https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2433454
copy this img to your device
You don't need twrp. There's a guide on here with an automated flash.bat script to revert back to Oreo. I did exactly what you're trying to do. Took me ages to find the best way, can't remember the exact post BUT if you search the forum for a post with "numpty" in the title, that's from me and links to it and explains the whole process [emoji16]

Wait, so now you can unlock yoir bootloader without using FunkyHuawei's paying method?
I mean you don't need to do it seperately sorry. The batch tool, will run through it including installing twrp in one go.
Unlock bootloader
Run tool
Follow instructions
Device is on oreo

I did buy the code and use toolallinone yep.
So I do need to install Twrp then?
Is there a chance of bricking the phone rebranding the Oreo way?
@chrissyyyw
There is no zero risk to make this kind of modification on a device.
Using the script ensures no errors in commands and it's all relative to the previous step so if you miss a step it won't complete. Phone is as it was. And no. I had my bootloader unlocked nothing else. The script installs twrp, debrand, restarts and then flashes the Oreo firmware for you

Do OTA updates work via this method?

I've found the thread about the script @blufreak.
Seems straight forward enough, just one question about downloading the Oreo firmware and extracting the 3 files.
Do you download C782 to get you back onto Oreo and then use the FH tool to rebrand onto C432?
Yes. C432 won't install u till you have rebranded. Download C782. Extract. Run.
Run fh rebrand and use that to install C432. Start with a version of Oreo as close to the C782 version as you can, must be equal to or higher but not lower.

Cool, I'll give it a go tomorrow.
With the software, in the guide it says you must dowload the one with the 3 files.
Does it matter which one FH downloads? Or is it just the equal too or greater than version number?
So for Oreo C782 I think I went for 159 but could be wrong. Easiest way to make sure is run hi suite, connect phone and click update then when it says you're up to date select other version and it will list a specific Oreo version. Then download that one from something like androidhost.ru and check the zips for the correct number of files and names. That was the most confusing part for me
Once I debranded I then installed the identical version of C432 via fh as per rebrand instructions..... Once handset started the update barrage started

Since installing. 282 via the DNS method my Huawei Suite doesn't give me the option to install another version at all.
It did when I was on. 168
Possibly as it's not an official release. Well, go for 159, it's a moderately up to date Oreo, and I remembered I found you had to do one earlier than the 160s for a reason to do with some of the files..... Don't ask me to be more specific lol. It doesn't matter really. As long as you do an Oreo below 160 you'll get updates straight away anyway. Just don't allow it to start updating when you boot into Oreo C782 obviously

That makes sense as I'm not sure Huawei have officially released it, even now.
2 questions before I get stuck into this tomorrow. ADB with charge mode, how do you enable that?
I have found CLT-L09C782B159 (8.0.0.159) on firmware finder on my laptop. Change log says it's the version to roll back.
I have been on the app on my phone, found the same FW version but only got the CLT and update.zip files, not the public?
The only version I can find with the 3 files you mentioned does not mention the rollback in the changelog?
Is this ok to go with @blufreak ?
Thanks
Download the files from androidhost.ru and it should be right. And Adb charge mode is under developer options (tap 7 times on build to reveal them)

The Oreo .159 version I can find with L09, Public and Full files is the October update.
The roll back version does not contain the 3 files.
https://pro-teammt.ru/online-firmware-database-ru/?firmware_model=clt-l09c782&firmware_page=0
28/10/16 I have downloaded.
Is it ok to use the normal version?
I can't get into Fastmode, the phone keeps ignoring me pressing power and volume down and booting to the 'your device cannot be trusted' screen.

Hello,
I have a PRA-LX1 C432 unbranded and the updater keep saying I have the latest official update B170.
Using HFF we can see B181, 183 and 191 for C432 model. But... making a system dump of these builds we can see that there is in build.prop "generic_15" as phone model...
So I didn't install anything...
- Are the builds from HFF trustables ??
- Is there a way to force the update?
thanks!

[Guide] Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat "Updated 25.03.2018"
[Guide] Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat
This thread will be discontinued, because Huawei refuses to provide unlock codes in the future, because of security reasons.
A shame that after the support end of the device it will be quite useless, cause you don´t get any security updates and have no chance to make secure again, by flashing someting else.
I recommend you not buy any Huaweidevices in the future cause of that.
Here´s my P10 Guide, the steps are the same for the P10 Plus: Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat
Just use the following files for the P10 Plus instead:
TWRP for P10 Plus

Did you already use this method before? Seems you messed up with the 1 of the 3 updatefiles. Especially the update_all_hw.zip which is only for the l29 or l09.
Did you try to update via firmware finder and did you make check with imei in that tool? That should fix your problems, if you use the FullOTA.

The FULLOTA in firmware finder says 'The firmware is not approved for installation'.
I have VKY-L09C432 which I converted to VKY-L29C432 and was on B170. I used the 3 update files from the the link you provided in step 2 'HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B177.zip'. Was I supposed to change any of these files?

No, i think you just haven´t read the guide carefully. In firmwarefinder choose an older one, that is approved for installation.

Hello guys!
So I recently bought a "Huawei P10 Plus VKY-AL00 6GB RAM 128GB Dual-Sim" from China. I want to rebrand this model to "Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L29 6GB RAM 128GB Dual-Sim". Ive unlocked bootloader. So what shall I do now ? This tutorial above is for the european model. Please help me thx!
No connection to the mobile network after rebranding
Hi
I went through all your described steps and everything worked fine. However, I've got a strange problem.
I have different SIM cards available (multiple mobiles), but only one (prepaid from croatia) is working after the procedure. The ones from Vodafone Germany and Swisscom do not work.
They work fine on other mobiles. Everything else is working fine on the P10+. The SIMs not working, are displayed in the phone, but will not connect to the mobile network of any provider.
No available networks are listed. Both SIM-slots tested.
Any idea, where the problem could come from?
Thanks for your help.

You can still rebrand, but AL00 is already dual sim if that's what you were after.

There's a walkthrough for using HWOTA to rebrand to the L29 model: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p1...nvert-to-dualsim-huawei-p10-plus-vky-t3605071 Works very well, changed my Fido/Rogers L09 without any issues.

I don't know what to tell you...I got firmware finder as well but my latest update was 2 days ago and now i got B177.The chinese phones already got Oreo update (yesterday,two days ago). I recomand you to not update yet,use HiSuite and connect your phone to your pc.I did get B170 using the cable and having installed on my pc HiSuite,so good luck.
Hello,
Tried following the guide but now my phone VKY-L09 shows up as a NRD90M with 2GB of RAM. followed the procedure many times now but still with the same results.
Doing the rebrand seems to work (if i do it twice on the update script it shows VKY-L29C432 but after booting up it still is NRD90M.
I can boot to fastboot/twrp/erecovery without issues.
Used this file HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B177.zip

Had a similar issue. Got round it by following this guide to rebrand then used the firmware finder app to install the latest available vky-l29 update. After that I unlocked bootloader again and flashed twrp and installed magisk.

Hi all,
I have a huawei P8 Lite ALE21-C02-896
Is there perhaps a way to install TWRP on a phone with a locked blocked bootloader??
Also would it be possible to update an ALE21-C02 phone with ALE-C432 firmware using the volume button and power combination??
I have tried this but it goes till 4% and displays update failed, what do I do??:crying:
I'm having the same issue here. But does the method actually work?

Use rollback rom.
I don't know if there is a emui3 rom online to install next.

I have managed to unlock the bootloader by getting the bootloader unlock code with DC unlocker for 4EURO.
I first tried your way by trying to downgrade to emui 3 but got bootloop and this has been resolved by update.app of the original version(which i had trouble searching for)
If the downgrade method doesnt work for your version i.e. other than C432 i suggest just unlock it with DC it really works.
I've downgraded yesterday and it works like charm. You must follow the procedure, first install rollback package, then B170.
Both packages are hard to find (Huawei has removed all links from their pages), so you have to google it.
ROLLBACK package is named
HUAWEI_P8 Lite_Rollback transition Package_ALE-L21_From Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 to Android 5.0 EMUI 3.1_C900B500.zip
and Android package
ALE-L21C432B170.....
(for unbranded european version, for other versions it's different one)
Here you can get all firmware's that you need:
https://huaweidl.com/download/p8-lite/ale-l21/
And here you have my GDrive link to the rollback package:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aLCiIyb5hAX2JHyzLbJoxqBQ8YgYzmOZ/view?usp=drivesdk
At last i sucessfully rooted with the following Kingroot apk:

Do you have 100% sure that your phone is a ALE-L21? It says that in the back at the bottom?

yes
but it is vodafone branded C02.. which seems to be the problem from what i have found?
is there any way to downgrade/unlock on the branded version?

My phone was MEO branded and i found no problems downgrading.
First i used the rollback rom, then i got the balong rom bug, after that i flashed B133 rom and still had the balong bug, inside was 2 update.app files, one (bigger) i flashed first, and the second (inside CUSTOM folder) i flashed in the end through the phone updater (local update in settings) and it solved the balong bug.
However my phone is the Single Sim version.
You can try this if your phone is single sim.
If not use the b170 rom for dual sim variant.

damn it this is crazy.. i bought the "dual sim" phone to run lineage...which is vodafone... which is single sim.. dafuq?!
also.. which can not be unlocked for free like on every other manufacturer... i hate huawei for now...
trying to downgrade to vodafone 589 now.. and will try some other versions .. maybe i get to a working state before i throw it at a wall hehe
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------
were you on the latest firmware available? if so, when did you do the downgrade, if you can reconstruct that?
bought the DC Unlocker code now.. man that was painless.. 4€ totally worth it!
so to C02 (Vodafone) users.. dont bother trying.. you just waste time and SSD space
all of the X Versions out there dont work
btw.. xiaomi ftw in this regard. unlocking is done by official xiaomi software, painless except for 3days waiting for the code. but no proprietary drivers you would need whatsoever on every host/VM config.. samsung always just crashes the server lol, let's see how this one does.. just bought it because the seperate sim slots.

Well I'm glad that at least you have unlocked your bootloader, I'll post a tutorial with all the steps I've made in order to see if someone can use it and avoid paying 4€ to DC unlocker code.
If it doesn't work, well, that is the last option.

don't worry, your explanations already are good. and the rest is pretty clear how to do in once you try.. just put it on an SD and hope for the best
but i think there is no other option, at least for my phone. i tried around 30 different roms, and only the vodafone stock ones werre accepted so i could get back to b589 max, which wasnt enough.
but now that it works, it works pretty flawless.. it is not a new phone but well enough for a secondary daily driver
*** SOFT BRICK RISK! Some people reported having soft bricked their devices by installing Android 10 update package. Huawei eRecovery will not work then in case that Huawei in your region did not yet publish Android 10 packages. It will try to recover to Android 9 instead, which the device will reject to do ***
For updating firmware of BL (bootloader) locked Mate 20 Pro an experimental method is available using HiSuite to latest firmwares. Windows only, no Mac.
Purpose of this is to bring the device up-to-date even when OTA upgrade is not available at a given time for a given region/carrier.
*** CAUTION: may break SafetyNet check, i.e. disable Google Pay, if firmware higher than intended for a given region is flashed ***
Hope it helps you.
Note that if your BL is unlocked, this method will lock it. Unlocking it again is possible, however full-wipe will occur.
Usage: unzip HSTool, run as standard user and follow prompts. No need to run HSTool under elevated Windows privileges, just the "hosts" file editing needs privileged access to the filesystem.
Successfully tested SafetyNet check passing firmware list (no longer maintained):
(All variants) 9.0.0.206 (Changelog) Note: February 2019 Security patch, Camera 9.0.0.305
(All variants) 9.0.0.210 (Changelog) Note: March 2019 Security patch, Camera 9.0.0.305
Cust partition (region) will stay original based on device oeminfo. C432 wil stay C432 after upgrade and so forth. Also in case you previously used a different method which "soft rebranded" your device, e.g. from Europe C432 to Asia/Pacific C636, this method will fix it.
Test results (no longer maintained):
2019/03/01: Own test: 9.0.0.206 - ctsProfile pass C432 Vodafone EU, camera 9.0.0.305 (likely designed for Europe, assumed because of working GPay on C432)
2019/03/12: Own test: 9.0.0.211, 213 - ctsProfile mismatch C432 Vodafone EU, camera 9.0.0.305
2019/03/13: Own test: 9.0.0.222, 225 - ctsProfile mismatch C432 Vodafone EU, camera 9.0.0.305
2019/03/19: Own test: 9.0.0.178 - ctsProfile mismatch C432 Vodafone EU, camera 9.0.0.309 (likely a Huawei experiment/beta image)
2019/03/27: Reported by dajumper: 9.0.0.228 - ctsProfile not reported, camera 9.0.0.312 (likely designed for Japan, assumed because of Japanese changelog, incl. Japanese KDDI VoLTE support added)
2019/03/27: Own test + reported by KedrosNg: 9.0.0.232 - ctsProfile mismatch C432 Vodafone EU, camera 9.0.0.305
2019/04/04: Own test: 9.0.0.235, ctsProfile pass status unknown (tested on rooted device), camera 9.0.0.312
2019/04/06: Reported by Merewood bebox: 9.0.0.210 - ctsProfile pass C432, camera 9.0.0.305

Is there anything you can suggest I do please?

In general downgrade is not recommended and may cause problems. Not because of the method. Because manufacturers don't want downgrades (see e.g. Apple, Huawei seems going similar direction).
As to OTA, I am very confident that one day you normally receive OTA with this method. But the question is rather when? Aren't you here just because you didn't receive it from manufacturer? If it was so great with factory OTAs, tools like this wouldn't need to exist.

Its entirely up to Huawei but if new firmwares don't get released in this format then it's highly unlikely they'll be available via OTA.
