Help after downgrade FRD-L09 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello kind people of XDA,
I recently acquired an Honor 8 L09 64gb variant, after downgrading it from N to MM following this guide my model number has changed from FRD-L09 to FRD and my build number is FRD-C675B140.
I am wondering what this means in terms of upgrades etc. Has my phone been rebranded or is it still an L09 just not showing as that in the settings.
Is it possible to upgrade it back to N, if it is how would I go about doing that? If it helps, the phone rooted with Magisk.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I used the EU rollback L09 is the EU version, isn't it? Would I still look for L09 in Firmware Finder?

Mate 7 TL10 (4.4.4, Stock) changed to L09 after B326(5.1.1) dload method

I had Mate 7 TL 10 with kitkat, and wanted to get the lolipop. I searched this forum and found out that there was a beta testing program for MM. I read that to go to MM I had to have the b326 lolipop update. So I downloaded the b326 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784 . I did the update and was on lolipop 5.1.1, but the thing is My model changed from mt7 tl10 to mt7 l09. Is is a problem? I also downloaded the MM update b511 but was unable to do it because it is for tl10 and my phone changed to mt7- l09. Please help me to make my phone tl10 again.
Thank you.

I'm a noob, but when you say tour model do you mean international version? I have the middle east and Africa version. I'm sorry I just got the phone 2 days ago.
I write about flash firmware for your model and Region

Mine is MT&-TL10 from "meafnaf". I flashed the same. The model changed to MT7-L09 and the build MT7-L09C900B326, the ram is still 3GB storage is also around 32 GB.
Have a look in the buildprop to see what model it says. If it's only L09 firmware, maybe you lose the use of the second SIM.
I only flash a ROM that is a genuine OTA update or from local storage if it has the included Huawei PDF instructions because it tells you which ROMs it can update from.
I have TWRP recovery in my TL10 and it named the save folder L09 but I think that's just because whoever did the TWRP maybe had an L09. In my phone info it tells me TL10 still.

Which is the right model to chose to keep all hardware working but having all Google apps?
Thanks in advance,

[NXT-AL10] update to Nougat and EMUI 5.0

Hi guys,
I have just bought a mate 8 nxt-al10 (chinese version, unlocked) two weeks ago on Priceminister, and i've recently seen that the mate 8 received the nougat and emui 5.0 update... My friend got the same phone, but in TL00 version (chinese version too but locked for chinese carriers) and she got the update.....whereas I cannot​ get it me! In settings tray, when I tap on "check for updates", the phone return to me "no update avaible", whereas I'm sure that my friend has Android 7.0 with emui 5.0..
I live in France and I received my phone with an international rom, NXT-C900B170, already configured at the unboxing.
Can I have help to get the update please?
Thanks
toXa
C900 most likely means that your phone was crossflashed with an international firmware for the L29 variant of the phone. in this state, u wont be able to receive OTA updates, so ull either have to flash an original AL10 firmware or change your regional cust to an L29 variant.

Thx for your reply
Okay thanks... And how can I change the cust to L29 directly or AL10 (and then flash an european rom after)? Whitch is the better method?

I tried to flash an AL10 firmware, the last released, via Firmware Finder, but when I try to flash it, the phone returns that the package is uncompatible.. I suppose that the last chance is to change the cust?
Sent from my HUAWEI NEXT using XDA Labs
for changing cust, u can use the so called SRK tool, you can find it in one of the mate 8 sub sections
Okay thanks
I will try it soon, I keep you informed

Which model to chose with Firmware finder for BLN-AL10?

Hi all
I have a BLN-AL10 Honor 6x which I bought few months ago and never used.
With the original firmware I tried Firmware Finder, choosing another model and I had the international version.
After that I went back to the original version, the phone updated itself to Nougat and now I am not certain if I still can make it international version.
Please, advise me, can this be done after upgrading to Nougat? If yes, which variant to chose for BLN-AL10?
Thanks in advance,
Janos

i don't recommend to do that in emui 5.0
possibly brick your device, making it unusable

Rebrand means you have to rebrand it to us variant firmware...
For this you have to flash us variant firmware .....
Ok, I do understand, As for now I have unlocked bootloader and already installed TWRP.
I have the latest update of the emui 5.0.1 software.
Do I have to directly flash the update.app from honor system recovery or the update.zip from twrp. Any need to downgrade first or just flash the latest us firmware?

Its kind a complicated process....
You will need some files
Do not perform rebranding if any file missind..it could brick your phone...
Search for rebranding guide in this section .....you will find that
