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?

[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?
Sent from my HUAWEI NEXT using XDA Labs
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

Hi,
I just have finished to unlock the bootloader and I have a question.. will I receive OTA updates if I flash L29 rom?
Where can I find a L29 rom? Can firmware finder do the job?
Hello friend toXaGeek
I have seen your comments and I am in the same situation as your cell phone.
You can please share if you came to solve what you were talking about.
Please, if so. Please detail what you have done, I am asking you this because I am new to this and I am going to flash my equipment
Thank you very much for your help.
Greetings.
Manuel.
Im in the same dish as you boss, can i install a nougat global firmware on a NXT-L29C900B156 ?

Debrand to enable US LTE bands in Indian Honor 6X (BLN-L22)

I bought BLN-L22 Honor 6X from India and now want to use it in US but it does not work with any network on LTE. Any way I can debrand to use US bands ?
Rebranding is only for software, as for bands, it is hardware related so you can't change anything.
Try willmyphonework.net
BLN-L21 is the Intl. model, I don't think yours will work on US bands
Here are the bands that honor 6x support, 1, 3, 7, 8 and 38

I have read and people have verified with other Huawei phone that the hardware is actually capable of supporting all bands but Huawei locks them based on specific region. It can be unlocked by changing oeminfo and then flashing the rom of that region

In that case, try and tell us if it's true
By rebranding you can use VOLTE ,there is not restrictions and hardware support .
@PalakMi and @venugopalu007, I wasn't able to find oeminfo for BLN-L24 (US version) but I rebranded it to BLN-L21 (EU version) which enabled the wcdma band 2. At least now I have 3g working. This also confirms that hardware supports all bands and that they have just been software locked. Hope someone can provide oeminfo file for BLN-L24 (US version)

Changes on Firmware finder

Why now our phone is just FRD? New firmware is FRD B395
FRD is the abbreviation of Faraday the factory name of the device. They are probably aggregating updates, just that and nothing else.

I still see all variants, and saw "just frd" weeks ago.
me too , but after I uninstall and install the app the problem solved
if not work for you ,,, you need to write your model manually
FRD is the Chinese international variant of the device. Ignore it.

That's not what I've been told when I was a beta tester.

Anyone has FRD-DL00 oeminfo??

Hello, I tried debrand my honor 8 DL00 (the chinese 3G RAM+32G version) to europe version, everything worked except no LTE signal...
Now I need to get back to DL00, but I forgot to back up the original oeminfo before debrand. Anyone has DL00 oeminfo could you please send me a copy.
Thanks a lot!!!
If it is a 3g phone there ain't LTE. Pretty sure all Honor 8s are LTE, though.
Honor 8 is LTE

Meant 3G capacity in RAM. Sorry confusing words.
The LTE is related to the modem inside the phone, rebranding it won't solve the issue (because it's a hardware thing)

Yes you are right, and that is the reason I am asking for DL00 oeminfo. I need it to get back to stock oeminfo. For this moment I have to blame myself again for not backing up the original oeminfo...

I would also be interested. I have the same model with 6gb of ram.
C432 is what you're after.
Thank you. So we would have to use a tool like FunkyHuawei to switch from the chinese version to the international one, is that right?
Will we have to unlock our bootloader?
Are there any guides out there that explain the steps?
Thank you so much.
I have called Huawei in Europe today and they have told me that changing the Version from China to Europe is no problem at all and does not require to unlock the bootloader. The guarantee will not void as long as you use official huawei builds.
This is rxactly what he has told me.
And did he say how to do that?
I have the same one and i would change to the europien rom, too
