After rebranding my Mate 9 C567 to C432 my MEID shows 000000. All is working well with no exception, it's just a cosmetic inconvenience. I know it has to do with the WCDMA incompatibility which is fine. I wonder if if I could edit the hex and have the original MEID. Any advice is appreciated.

Firstly let me apologize for duplicating the content of several other topics. This post will intend to summarize the issue in order to provide better visibility to anyone trying to help.
To start off, I have the same problem with my Mate 8.
The Issue
The Huawei Mate 8 has two Sim Card Slots: one supports 3g/4g and the other supports only 2g. That's how it's build.
When you pun in non-China Telecom card into *either* of the slots a message pops up saying that 3g/4g is only supported on China Telecom: https://tj6nvw-bn1306.files.1drv.com/y3p0MIG3qgLckpGbYHxgH70oReY058UmP2hfiLYG-HZPelszWa8XkA5gqwtKldaPY54l0lK91_XhjKz149GjRW6H06HJyAdEN7dXS8GzEWZyDvEiUeg7moZtmEGVG3nFj-qqywRCQTzYESnpN5IGyuD7w/Screenshot_2016-01-26-14-08-52%20%281%29.png?psid=1
More Details
It is possible to change the active 3g/4g card slot via settings configuration.
You can use 2g capabilities in *any* of the physical slots (via configuration above)
When you insert 2 sim cards only one of them is active. The device does *not* recognize the second card. It is possible to switch between the two cards, but only one of them can be active.
The problem is reported only for CL00 & TL00 models (and not the AL10 or L29 ones).
What is tried already?
I've tried and confirm all the items above.
Did factory reset.
I've loaded the International Software to Mate 8 from this topics
The Chinese Telecom message no longer appears on the International Software, however the slot still doesn't work.
Did factory reset on the international Software as well.
Tried to unlock it via DC-Unlocker - it is not possible. The "Unlock" button is grayed out.
The Sim Status in DC-Unlocker is "unlocked" however it shows only one IMEI number, where the phone has 2 IMEI numbers if you check it via *#06#
Guys report the same problem with Verizon cards, where Verizon and China Telecom networks are similar.
Thoughts/Suggestions
I talked to the DC Unlocker guys from the support and they advised me it might be from the Firmware. Even I've installed the international one and don't rule out that this might be the root issue of the issue as I don't know the origins of the International software.
Any suggestions?
Update 1: I got feedback from DC Unlocker Support that the phone is most likely "unlocked". Still I'm not convinced that both sim slots are unlocked.
Update 2: Another suggestion from DC Unlocker Support: If device support frequencies (EU) and if they are different from China (they might be) then, yes it should be possible to solve this with correct firmware if such exists. You should check first original specifications of device for china networks, then compare them to network that you want to use it with.
Update 3: Clarification that problem exists only for CL00 & TL00 models (and not the AL10 or L29) (thanks @jbmc83)
u have to add that this is only pertaining to the china telecom locked models CL00 & TL00, and not the AL10 or L29 models
I have AL10 and verizon sim wont work.

is it only verizon or also other carriers?
edit: ah thats a different reason though. both al10 and l29 mate 8 versions are gsm and not cdma based. thats different from the cl00 and tl00 variants being carrier locked to specific network providers...
im betting ur al10 will work just fine with tmobile or att

I have the DL00 version as well and I was wondering have you tried to load the international ROM or anything else on it. Does it work the same as the AL10
Who can lay oeminfo file from
dev / block / platform / hi_mci.0 / by-name /
of firmware for L29

For CL00 user, it seems to me that the international(eu) "oeminfo" file is the key for flashing L29 firmware, described as this topic.
Does anyone put "oeminfo" file of L29 anywhere??
Even putting different roms on this phone doesn't change the fact the main aim is locked in CDMA / LTE mode. It's a hardware thing or something these different roms can't edit.
same problem
1st slot 4g 3g 2g snd slot 3g/2g on each mate 8 any version
Bought phone Mate 9 second hand.
How can I be sure what version is it or if its been rebranded?
About phone says its a MHA-L09 and build is L09C432B182
I tried to upgrade it to newest b193 with method in this post [Guide] Mate 9 Flash Update Package and Rebrand
but after upgrade i noticed I lost MEID just zeros, same with PESN when type: *#06#
I am not sure if those numbers were the same before upgrade or something just went wrong.
Other thing is that phone doesnt recognize sim cards after upgrade, it works fine with b182, even if I do upgrade with normal software upgrade throuh phone it finds b190 and again sim is not recognized.
It made me thinking ,how can I actually know what version of Mate 9 i have? I went to huawei web site to check warranty (http://consumer.huawei.com/in/support/warranty-query/index.htm) for this phone and acording to its serial nr/ imei and it says its a MHA-L09B ?im slightly surprised as i found out L09B is an Australian model? live in UK . my serial nr is UGM0217122003582 can someone advice? also if its L09 so i suppose it should have only 1 sim , then why if i go to mobile network there is an sim 2 network field (grey out) ,is that how it should be?
thx
You have 2 sims cause u rebranded ur phone from single sim l09 to dual sim l29.
Better to rebrand it back to l09 so you can hve ur iemi back and working network.
Read carefully , I have IMEI with all brands , I lost MEID and PESN not IMEI, also never rebranded to any l29 always used l09 that's the point

Are u sure it was L09 Firmware u used? Because if it shows that u have 2 sim now u used L29 Firmware when u flashed it, if u flash a L09 that is the singel sim version with a L29 Firmware it will show that u have 2 sim slots in the Settings.

1. bought phone mate 9
2 have no knowledge of its history and if it was rebranded or not.
3. phone info clearly shows MHA - L09 C432B182, IMEI was also there and mach serial number according to huewai warranty checker
4. tried to upgrade many times to newest MHA-09 C432193 but always had some issue with it finaly somehow i did it, phone info was showing MHA - L09 C432B193 IMEI was there but i noticed there is no MEID just zeros
5. confirmed that with dialler: *#06# MEID and PESN have just zeros IMEI is there
6. inserted sim and phone had to noticed its there as had pop up from sim vodafone if i want to use prepay or postpay, after selecting either of two : no service.
7 in settings , mobile network there are 2 sections sim 1 and sim 2 both ,grey out
8 rebranded phone with MHA - L09 C432B186, all went ok but results the same, phone upgraded mobile network still shows sim 1 sim 2 both greyout, no service
9 again flashed phone with MHA - L09 C432B182, straight away phone picked up signal. mobile network still shows sim 1 filled with info and sim 2 greyout.
10.having installed MHA - L09 C432B182 i upgraded software through official way settings ,system upgrade : system found MHA-L09C432B190 proceed with that , as a result system upgraded but again sim 1 sim 2 grey out no service.
Thats why im wondering if there is any way to find out phone original region/brand/version ? how can i know if i got L09 or L29 regardless software it has installed?
Something there is definitely not right if the official phone upgrade screws things up ,there is no service and only firmware that works is 182.

Seems it was single sim branded phone and the previous owner has flash it to single sim unbranded.
I think l29c636 firmware can fix it. Just flash an approved firmware.

Did you use original C33 oeminfo or got from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/oeminfo-library-t3555353/post70999977

I am in the same boat. Posted bere my experience a week ago but no reply. I rebranded from C567 to C432 and all work well. I even updated to Oreo. For me is just a cosmetic issues, but I'd still love to fix it.

I don't think it's possible to fix. I have looked into this a lot as I had the same thing happening on my phone and nobody seems to have a fix. When you rebrand a single sim device to a dual SIM ROM it appears to activate the second sim slot which gives the MEID 00000000 in settings and activates dual SIM menu in settings. It also stops the SIM from being read in some ROMs until the SIM is ejected and put back in after a reboot. The second sim reader stays active even if you rebrand back to a single sim ROM. I ultimately had to send my phone off to be repaired and they ended up replacing the mainboard under warranty.

I had P30 ele-l29 (c431e4r2p2) which is NCK sim locked.I want to change its IMEI in order to unblock it.can anyone help me with that issue and tell me how can i change Imei number of p30?
Android version is 9.1 and Emui 9.1.0.193
Did you manage to find a solution?
If the IMEI is blocked then the phone is stolen or lost by the owner.Dont ask for solutions here mate !
Greetings!
I have the phone and after flashing IMEI dropped to some random one (111111111111119 on both IMEI1 and IMEI2). I wrote the proper ones using MOBILETESTER but the phone still shows no signal. What can I do? Can it be IMEI SV or SN problem, as IDK what originally was there and no backup of course.
OK, so I edited the SN number, now it shows the proper one in *#06#, however, it cannot still see the SIM. Now I don't know what to do. Could anyone help me?
BUMP. One more and I'm sadly done with this with no solution…
