L09C636/C34 'VERLIST.IMG' entries

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).

How to find original build number?

Hello.
I am new to everything related to Huawei and I have a small doubt please.
I have a Huawei P9 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1 (exactly the same phone and specs as P8 Lite 2017; just a different name used by Huawei for marketing and regional purposes).
I have recently updated the build number through the inbuilt Huawei system update to version B162.
Please note that this was only a 400MB update with very minor changes and it was not a full ROM installation. Please see attached screenshot.
I am going to unlock the bootloader, TWRP and root very soon. I read that on the forum that sometimes people have to flash the original version of the build number when their phone gets soft or hard bricked in order to recover their phone.
I wanted to download the original build number as safety in case something goes wrong.
I can't remember the build number I had previously to B162.
1. How would I find the original build number I was on when I bought the phone? Only through a factory reset?
2. Is it really necessary the original build number to recover my phone (if needed one day) or another build would work?
Sorry but I find this Huawei updating method rather complicated or confusing.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Factory reset don't work because it will same build that you on now. Perhaps if you install firmware finder you can see previous builds

Thank you for the answer.
I do have Firmware Finder installed but as I mentioned I did not memorise the previous build number so I would not know which one to look for.
I suppose that if I search for build number B162 (my current updated version) it would work in case I need to flash the original version if any problems arise.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Also in relation to my question #2 any idea please?
Thank you so much.

I have honor 4x(different phone, but this part of the phones might be same).
I think FULL firmwares from firmware finder can be flashed in TWRP and in that case you'll only need to worry about getting the firmware which has the same specs as your phone.
TWRP dosen't do any version checking so you don't need to find exactly correct version.
I don't know will this work, but if you get stuck it's good to know.

Yes it is good to know I will be able to flash any version as long as it is for PRA-LX1.
With some other phone brands I had in the past downgrading was out of the question (LG G3 and G4 for example).
Not sure about Huawei in relation to downgrading.
My opinion is that this should be all standardised all across Android anyway and not all different between phone manufacturers.
Thanks for your reply.

basically the only thing you need to look at is C432 in the firmware number

Thanks a lot!

You MAY find your original build number according to your region:
https://mobiletech360.co/huawei-p8-lite-2017-stock-firmwarerom-android-7-nougat-pra-lx1/
But even if you do i doubt that you can revert it back, I had a PRA-LX1C464 which is the region code for Turkey, I wanted to update it through Firmware Finder and successfully did. But it changed my phone' build number to PRA-LX1C432, and I can't revert it back to C464. My phone is single SIM, but the firmware I'm using is dual SIM (wtf huawei? ) . So far so good though, phone works fine.

You need to rebrand your phone aka flash another oeminfo that is related to your device. This will lock your bootloader, so make sure you are on stock EMUI first, flash the new oeminfo (make sure it belongs to your device), go to erecovery and restore your device, this will wipe all your data and download the firmware of the oeminfo you flashed. You can unlock your bootloader afterwards.

[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
@AndroidFilehost: HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B365.zip (Oreo) MD5: 0858c05a98053ad5043dfaf7041ec54e

@Mega: HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B177.zip (Nougat)

Doesn't work on a converted single sim UK P10 plus to dual sim. Used this method to go back to B123 to get the phone to work. It was showing a different model number each time I tried to update to B177 using this method.

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.

I am back on L29C432B170 via normal OTA.
Probably messed up on 2. Run the update.bat file from a preopended CMD with adminrights, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.
I just ran update.bat file as an administrator. That was the only thing I did differently to the guide.

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.

how to convert VKY-L09C432 dual sim to single sim?

Sorry for stupid question. I'm having VKY-AL00 with B217 firmware. I guess soon I will update it to Oreo. Am I still capable for rebranding?

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. The instructions can be a little confusing but you should be ok if you've flashed phones before.

TWRP not working
Hi,
I can't get TWRP to work on my VKY-L29. Everytime I try to get in TWRP, I get into the normal Huawei recovery again. Phone's Bootloader is definitely unlocked and it also says that writing the TWRP was sucessful. I followed all the steps as they're written. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

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
I am from Portugal and only need for the phone to have Dual Sim

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.

Where to get 9.1 OR 10.0 firmware for C605 region CLT-L29 phone?

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

Downgrading honor 9 lite

Is there any other way to downgrade honor 9 lite LLD AL10 (indian version)
Apart from hisuite?
Tried to downgrade from there but that isnt showing "switch to another version" option.
If anyone can help will be thankful.

If you mean downgrade to Oreo, then the answer is no.
If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite, you must downgrade to the lower Pie build number via dload method (flashing Service ROM aka "full stock ROM" for your model and REGION (Cxxx)! This process will erase all your data! You can also try chinese HiSuite (with an .exe extension instead of _OVE).
What is your model and build number?

Model LLD AL10
Build 9.1.0.173 ( C675E....1p4)
It was the last update i received.
Could you please provide the link for full stock rom which i need to flash through dload
