Hey,
A few months earlier I bought a Honor 6X in France. When I received it I noticed that it was not the right model and that the one I had was actually a Huawei GR5 2017 BLL-L22.
A friend of mine told me then about "rebranding" that allows to change the model at the software level.
Not knowing this technique, I would like to know if it is risky and easy.
Moreover, I don't know how to do it and I didn't find anything for my model on the internet, so if you can help I'll be very happy.
Thank you very much
Take a look here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-successful-debranding-to-bln-t3701050
And how can I know which model I need to take for my country ? On internet I found BLN-L21 but on Firmware Finder I have 3 models which start with that (BLN-L21C10, BLN-L21C185 and BLN-L21C432)
I have actually a BLL-L22C636.
hat do you mean? The model listed in the guide is BLN-L21C432 (European variant)

Theres two sim slot, but it only supports single sim. Is there a way to activate dual sim? Maybe via rooting or no cos i think US version only has one IMEI number
I heard one of the previous Huawei(honor) device got dual functioning through update of dev or phone update , but the phone was released as single sim version , later it was activated second sim. Hope we can get that soon :
I don't think so but, if Frd-l04 have another "HIDDEN" IMEI then, it's 100% possible to achieve

I was wondering about the same .
Last time i rebranded to L09 to test that stuff , it went in vain and got no help. Am sure that i did something wrong .( Wait i did nothing wrong as i rebranded successfully,got an ota update after first boot. Still no dual sim. )I suspect that i may have flashed a firmware meant for single sim. This time am collecting all info , let u guys know if i was successful on my next trial

BLN-L24.
Hi folks - I'm a first time poster here, so go easy on me
I bought a second hand Honor 6X (BLN-L21) last week. It had Android 6 on it so naturally I checked to see if Android 7 was available for it. It was, but not by checking in-phone for OTA updates. I used the steps on this site STechGuide, perhaps in a bit of a rush...
So the upgrade process said it had failed after about 20 minutes. But after it rebooted it was indeed on Android 7.0 and EMUI 5, but now shows the Build Number as "NRD90M test-keys" and I cannot get it to check for updates. Also now each time I restart the phone I get a message saying "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly".
If I go into the 'eRecovery' settings, it connects to my home wifi and it fails to get package info and all I can do is reboot it.
So in short - how can I blast it back to its original firmware and thereby get official Huawei/Honor OTA updates? Also shouldn't the 6X have received Nougat in the UK by now?
Thanks and apologies for the newbie question that has no doubt been asked many times.
DM
You can ignore warning message. It wont cause any issue. This is because you may have unlocked bootloader while doing this.
What is the build number of firmware you flashed?
BLN-L21CXYZBXYC
please provide these details and I can help with the stock files.
we need OEMINFO file as well to get rid of this NRD test key stuff.
Namaste Shashank and thanks for the reply.
Although I can simply hit the power button to proceed, I would prefer it to automagically proceed to boot!! It was already SIM-unlocked when I bought it by the way. I bought this model second hand, so have the original box it came in and that only says it's a BLN-L21 with a S/N, EAN and IMEI1 (it's a dual sim model though a European model). It has 32Gb storage and 3Gb RAM. The sticker on the bottom of the box (with the S/N) says "This device may be operated in all member states of the EU" if that helps...
I was stupid enough not to take pictures or screenshots of all the system details before flashing it to Nougat, so I cannot give you the specific BLN-L21xxxxxxx information - I thought it might be found via the *#*#2846579#*#* USSD code, but while there is plenty of information there, it doesn't give a specific BLN-L21xxxxxxx code :/
I've tried attaching the phone to the HiSuite application, but it says everything's up to date. HALP!
How exactly can I determine the OEMINFO? I have a bunch of pictures I took with my other phone to illustrate the problem if you need them...

Sorry for the late answer brother, i just saw this post. So, i bought mine from Amazon and it is classified HW/EU standing by what my vendor.img says, my build it's C432. But don't worry, there's an easy way to know your build number in any moment; just write your IMEI here http://www.imei.info/ and details should follow
Ok great - will try that shortly!
Thanks a lot guys

Oh i see... Well, there's even an adb method to know build and other props. To obtain Android version you can write on adb "adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release", while other the rest should be visible after that you write "adb shell getprop".
Let me know if you can figure it out!
Ok the site is back up. Here are screen shots of the results - I only used the primary IMEI however.

Ok we can't find the thing that we need there so, i thought it was possible. Try adb method!
I will update as different versions come available. We will try to keep all the Mega.
Use it as you see fit. I've seen it being charged to be downloaded. But thats not just not a smart thing to do. IMO.
Not responsible for YOU messing up YOUR device.
I provide no support on how to use this, or what to do with it.

Is there a confirm on rooted. What is the Recovery?
Can install the l29 on the lv00?
Hi guys,
Seems this forum is almost dead...
Still, I will ask : anyone flashed that ROM that is supposed to be rooted ? Is it really rooted ? Can a ROM even be rooted if the bootloader is not unlocked ?
Thanks for your answers.

Hey everyone,
after reading for a few hours in the Guidesection, just a quick question: If i understand it correctly, the only option for me to get the Oreo Update on a EU Honor 6x (BLN L21c432b382) would to rebrand it like that https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402 and after that use this Guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317 to get Android 8.
Or did i miss an easier solution?
Thanks and cheers from Berlin.
Yeah, leave Huawei and buy Nokia.
