Rebranding my Honor 8 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

My phone says AL10 on the back but it came with FRD-L19 firmware which means it was rebranded by the reseller. Now, I'm stuck on L19C636B360 firmware, the B380 is pending but it outright bricks my phone everytime I update(I've tried everything). So my question is, if I rebrand my phone to AL10, will I get the latest updates? I heard the Chinese versions even got the Oreo update.
Will I face any significant issues with the AL10 firmware?

Chinese version Mate 9 with L29 (European) B156 installed, how to update to B156?

Ello Ello,
I imported a Chinese Mate 9 with L29 installed on it by the seller, I assume via FunkyHuawei.
I'm encountering the touchscreen lag glitch, as well as the lock screen notification problem, and would like to upgrade to the newly released L29 B156.
Since I already have L29 base firmware installed on this Chinese model, can I update using the instructions on gizrom?
Or will this brick my phone?
I depend on this phone as my lifeline so I can't afford to brick it, thus my asking right now.
Should I use FunkyHuawei instead?
Thanks
-Seb
Any suggestions?

Get the March 27 2017 B183 Update

Hopefully someone can help me! I purchased the phone in the China version but was able to rebrand the phone and I am now in the MHA-L29 variant, however I tried to manually update to the B183 version and was not able to. Is this because I am on the international version and not the US based one? Has anyone managed to update I am really interested in getting the Amazon Alexa update.
You can't go between L29 firmwares directly. If you're on C432 (EU) you can't go to C567B183 (USA).
Do you currently have TWRP installed?
If you are you could flash Alexa, or place it manually if you're rooted.
If not you will have to rebrand to C567. Seeing the reports on Alexa here says it'äs not really worth it...

Can i rebrand mate 9 while on Oreo

Hello guys,
I have mate 9 C636 B362 oreo.
The problem is am now living in europe
Which makes my phone unable to get updates through default system update and very slow to updates to go through firmwarefinder
My question is can i rebrand the mate 9 while I am already on Oreo to c432
Thanks
it is workable on Funky Huawei, but the price is quite expensive.
i've sucked on engineer mode when I rebranded china oreo version to European version, i was sure i turned off the FRP function, but when i finished rebrading , the FRP changed to lock status. i searched lots of way on website but not workable.
the final solution is use Funky Huawei with paid, it is quite easy but need money
I had the same issue with my mate 9 C185 region on Oreo not getting it's in UK. I used hisuite to rollback to nougat. Connect to PC and run hisuite update. It tells you you are on latest firmware but tab asks if you want to install previous stable firmware. This fully resets phone back to nougat - so do a backup. Once on nougat you can rebrand to c432 using hwota method. You will need to get bootloader code from Huawei first. This worked for me anyway.

Now I want to switch to b158 again. but I have the latest version of oreo installed on my device. everything has changed and hwota is now outdated. How can I get my device back to region b158 without my device is bricked. My current version is 8.0.0.379

Upgrade Mate 9 (MHA-L29 C636 EMUI 5.0 Android 7.0)

I'm in the United States and need VoLTE to continue using this phone. I'm relatively new at doing this so please try to take that into account.
I've tried DLOAD method for 9.0.1.193 (C636E7R1P8T8) & 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8T8). I got a message both times about the update not compatible with current firmware.
I'm guessing that I need to update to Android 8.0 before trying 9.0 but I'm not sure. I would appreciate specific instructions on how to upgrade this phone if it's possible.
My wife also has a Mate 9 MHA-L29. But it is a C567 and has Android 8.0. I haven't tried to upgrade her phone. But I need VoLTE capability for it too.
