No need to unlock bootloader.
All guides you need are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495800
I bought the Kenya version from Jumia. Is the bootloader locked? Is there anyway I can tell if its locked or not?
Also, if its unlocked, can I flash a custom recovery then root thru it?
Thanks!

do you want to install twrp and root??
I think in change my P9 EVA-L19C185B385 to EVA-L19C432B386. This is possible? If is, how?
My P9 isn't rooted and have bootloader locked. And I don't want to make root or unlock my bootloader....
If this is possible, may I use dload method?
I've download both B386 files, update.zip and update_data_full_EVA-L19_hw_eu.zip, from FF.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english...

I using this guide when I first try to debrand my phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
now, i prefer to install oeminfo through twrp. if you can manage to unlock bootloader and flash twrp, you can do debrand easily. you just need to find right oeminfo (for example l19c432/l19c185).

you don't need to lock your BL if you want to receive OTA ! anyway if you lock it you will be not able to unlock it again! my BL is unlocked and OTA update work perfect ! last OTA for L29 is 128 firmware but not 128a !

I understand. I replay to your answer.
I said you to look here ==> https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3779416
Or use FunkyHuawei tools.

Do you have a stock recovery or a TWRP? As I've read somewhere on the forum you have to be on the stock recovery to flash OTAs. But let someone confirm this cause I don't have the P20 PRO yet.

Is it simple enough to do? And did you relock the bootloader when it was complete?

Yes, it's pretty simple. I made it because I wanted to transform my P20 pro single sim to dual sim and it worked !
After procedure the new bootloader become re-locked. You can't use anymore the Huawei code to unlock boootloader and you can't root the phone or install twrp.
Until Funky find a system to unlock without code.

You mean, you cannot use the code again due to rebranding?

I had heard that using any of Funky's procedures relocks the bootloader and the Huawei bootloader unlock code no longer works. But like a lot of people, I purchased my unlock code from a 3rd party. So it would be interesting to see if it survived a Funky method.

I didn't know that we can buy unlock codes.
But surely your code do not work after procedure!
Because Funky firmware chanche your bootloader code. And so unlock codes doesn't work anymore.

Yes there are a few sites offering bootlocker unlock codes. https://ministryofsolutions.com/huaw...-new-firmwares does them for 30€, although they only accept so many paypal payments per day. https://global-unlocking-solutions-...es,_Choose_Model_Below/p5093122_19186756.aspx is €35 but has no limitations on paypal payments. I believe that both are totally legit, according to P20 onwers here.
Funky Huawei is a strange one. If you use one of their options to, say, change your region, model number etc, it will lock your phone again and make your current bootloader password useless. And the bad thing about this is, they don't offer an unlock service. Unless you pay for their unlimited use pass, which costs $132. Then they throw in a free bootloader unlock. I'm not sure if the relock and code breaking is a deliberate act by Funky Huawei but personally speaking, they should be giving a new working code to anyone whose unlock code they've trashed.
