Sorry but this is not totally clear to me. If you want to change from C432 to C636 why after the OEM change appear C900 ?

Hello,
I would like to debrand my phone. I read some guide here and I will use srk tool.
Now I'm on c02b133.
Which is the correct procedure?
have I to install via dload c432b136, go to c900 and then unlock bootloader, root e oem info file?
Or have I to unlock bootloader, root, oem info file and then flash the rom c432?.
I have this doubt because in some post, someone told to reinstall stock recovery after root, and forced the installation of the stock rom..so I'm not sure about correct way.
Thank to everyone

unlock bootloader > install twrp > root > change oeminfo and custom.bin > fastboot stock recovery > dload
after finished your phone become c432 and it can any ota from c432 firmware.
if you would like to go back to , you can do with the same method.
Always make backup of your oeminfo before u debrand.

Need some help.
i've used this toolkit to unlock,twrp and root. All done perfectly. After that i want to change my oeminfo from C900 to C432. iv'e backuo of the oeminfo and then used this toolkit to change that but, my phone first stuck in boot and lost TWRP and root.
Then when it is power on it shows a red message(normally it is yellow/orrange) and i cant install TWRP,root or lock BT again,all failed
SOLVED: Flash the new version in sdcard. Restored BL locked,recovery and all went fine. Finally.
What can i do?
This is the first procedure to debrand the Phone?
Hello guys
I'm from italy, and in this week i'll receive my new huawei p9, but there is a problem: is brand vodafone!
So the updates are reeeeally slow...like the last was b133, and i saw something like b180 on the no brand smartphones :S
So i was searching how to debrand the p9 and i saw this guide:
"to debrand the phone, the boot loader has to be locked and with the stock recovery.
create a folder in the sd called "dload"
download the ROM Stock EVA-l09C432B136 file, and place in the dload folder
turn off the device and reboot it pressing power+volume up+volume down"
I don't know if this is old or what, its still working?
Many thanks,
Andrea

1) Unlocked bootloader with steps in first link in op
2) Downloaded twrp for Huawei Honor 5X from twrp website and installed via adb: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
3) Flashed supersu zip via twrp recovery

After flash twrp and enter twrp recovery. It will show in Chinese Ui, you can change language to English. One click root built-in will show in advance option. Tap and slide to start installing Supersu. This post isn't a fake but only your failure that make ruining your device.

Some specs are....
Model number : BLL - L23
Compilation : BLL - L23C60xxxxx
Emui: 4.1
Android version: 6.0
cpu : kirin 655
ram : 3 gb
Memory : 32 gb
I hope you can help me! Thanks in advance.

Install a working TWRP on Nougat and Root, also i need the stock rom

Hey guys, how can i check which Honor 8 FDR i have?? I want to roll back to android 6 if i cant succeed rooting android 7 https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/firmware-huawei-honor-8-stock-firmware-t3470454 which rom is for my phone and what android version they are?
I can only see that is the model it says nxt-l29 its a Europe model i guess since it has multi-language support.
Every time i boot into the TWRP i can't see anything on the storage so i cannot install SuperSu, i have tried several recoveries like from this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946

Frd-al00's rollback is different from l04.
If you are in official emui 5.
I suggested you download hisuite in huawei website, and then connect your phone to pc, click system update in hisuite, you will see rollback button.

I have REBRAND AL00 to L09 by https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220
Pls help me from L09 back to AL00?
I don't have back up rom AL00, only back up OEM info
Interesting discussion. so is 360 the only version you can do a straight flash back to in TWRP, or is there a newer version?
Can the stock rom be rooted using Magisk or SuperSU - can one of them be flashed immediatedly after flashing the update zips before rebooting, while twrp is still loaded?
Rommco05 said:
B360 is first stable Nougat for most models and I starting from this firmware and after update device with OTA. Yes supersu works, I was using modified supersu wich is posted in twrp thread by openkirin team and I always install them after first boot to rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, but if you flash back to b360, it doesn't take OTA updates, and I don't want to relock the bootloader.
The main issue I have with stock is the inability to turn off the battery charging LED - it really annoys me.
Help.
Been messing around. I'm now on b380 but camera doesn't work and updates don't work. I've lost twrp, and if I try to install it it fails, although my boot loader says it's unlocked. It's there a way to flash the restore from a pc if I can't get twrp reinstalled?

How u install B380?
Click to expand...

Eventually resolved by downloading rollback package and b331 from Huawei site, and putting the update.app from each in dload on the sd card and forcing flash.
Frd-Al10 has native CallRecorder?
Hello. After update requires huawei ID log and pass. Can't use phone.
Does anyone know hot to fix it? Can't find rollback

Root frd L02

Hello all the respected guides and developers, i am Naresh from Rajasthan, India. I have honor 8 FRD L02, and tried many times for root my device but something went wrong.. I think i dont have correct files for that.. So please provide me all usefull files and correct method for successfully root my FRD L02.
First of all u have to unlock bootloader
Then download and flash twrp recovery.
Then u can go two ways. Either download and flash supersu to root or download and flash magisk module and after that supersu..
Installing magisk is better i think as it gives users additional usability..
I have currently magisk 14.0 installed with supersu and everythong works flawlessly on my FRD L02.
I rooted my phone last night. But i installed only supersu v2.83...
What is magisk? And can i install it now or what the special benifit of magisk.?
As you know that FRD L02 is a single sim phone, only slot 1 is supporting. Can we modified or install something customized for use 2nd slot..? Can we make it dual sim support?

Unfortunately you can't
Magisk is a root utility which enable you to hide your root access for certain applications, you can root with SuperSU or Magisk , but you need to uninstall your current root in order to re-root with Magisk.
But I think I read that Root Hiding function is not yet stable on Honor 8, read everything before installing it
