Works for my
Change for C185 to C636
L19

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 ?

Debrand p9 vodafone IT
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?

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

Using [TOOL] SRK Tool Huawei Bootloader/ROOT/Recovery/Backup/Utility

Hi,
I have just one question for debrand. I have vodafone rom (C02). I have to unlock bootloader,install twrp,root,change oeminfo and custom.bin, then stock recovery > dload firmware c432.
After this procedure, will I have bootlooder unlocked or locked? Will I receive OTA? App 'themes' working??
Thank you

dload Update.app method, entering TRWP instead

Hey Guys..
Bought a L29 Mate 8 last week, have been able to unlock, root but now want to install some custom roms..
The installations instructions tell me to go (back) to a stock B1xx rom through the "dload method", and next upgrade to a stock B3xx rom through the "dload" method.
I'm running stock B170, rooted/unlocked right now.
I've loaded a stock B3xx update.app file on my phone, but i'm unable to get the phone to run this update, it either boots normal to system, or when I use vol+/vol-/power it boots into TRWP instead.
Other instructions mention a setting to run update manual going through settings/update but can't find a "manual update"" setting there.
Hope you guys can help me going with this one...
Thanks

You need to flash stock recovery back,use srk tools.

That did the trick, it will "force" manual update now.
Now I run in another problem though, stock rom links for my "NXT-L29C636" are not available, link for C185B170 was still working and the only B320 stock i could find was the one shared by user "bluheart" in his signature "C185B320"
So decided to rebrand the device to C185 with SRK Tool so I would be able to flash these stock roms, first flashed C185B170 through dload method with no problem, and from there tried to flash C185B320 but update does not get passed 5%.
The rom version listed in the device is somehow NXT-C900B170, using the "* # * # 2846579 # * # *" code in dialer confirms phone is "C185 - Africa / Middle East"
Any pointers ?
(edit: tried to reflash C185B170 through download method, also gets stuck @5%)
Thanks

Now in about phone it show C900B170?
Can you get an ota update via updater?
The latest c185B200 so start from this one.
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v65326/f1/full/update.zip
Or you need to root B170 and change build display and oem info to C185 in srk tools.after this you will be able to dload c185b320

Used SRK Tools to change ROM version from "NXT-C900B170" to installed "NXT-L29C185B170" in the hope this miss match prevented the update, no luck, also no OTA available.
Thanks for the link, will download this and try to get this going first...
(edit: Changing OEM, SRK Tools read the device as AL-10?, changed to C185, fingers crossed)

Yes flash b200 like you are debranding,I mean change build prop display and oem info to c185.

Had no luck with the C185 roms, they all got stuck at 5%, decided to rebrand back to C636 and dload the original NXT-L29C636B170 and that worked, so will create a TRWP backup from here to fall back on.
Will give the rebranding to C185 another try later, with the rom you provided (i wonder if i went wrong somewhere with all rom downloads named "Update.zip" I might have mixed something up)
Maybe you/anybody confirm I take the right steps to rebrand to C185 and update to the NXT-L29C185B200 ROM provided.
Using SRK Tool: (current: NXT-L29C636B170/Rooted/Bootloader Unlocked)
1-Install TRWP
2-Change OEM from C636 to C185
3-Change ro.build.display.id=NXT-L29C636B170 to NXT-L29C185170 or NXT-L29C185B200 ?
4- Copy NXT-L29C185B200 "update.app" to device/dload
5- Install Original Recovery
6- Use vol+/vol-/power to apply B200 update
8-Install TRWP/ create Backup
9- Root ?
10- Copy NXT-L29C185B320 "update.app" to device/dload
11- Install Original Recovery
12- Use vol+/vol-/power to apply B320 update
Thanks in advance....

Flash stock recovery.
For HWOTA8, follow the thread. You need to download FullOTA.

Also with HWOTA8, you will not need to flash stock recovery manually. Basically you flash the zip from TWRP with the provided stock recovery and the three FullOTA update files from Huawei located in a HWOTA8 folder on your external SD card. Once the update is completed, you can then flash TWRP and root again. Same process for every update. Bootloader stays unlocked.

Hi mp187263
Thank you for your reply, I also think updating via hwota8 is better solution, having said that, there are 4 file downloaded from ff 3 of them are with l29 and one is l09.
could u pls advise if i should dl and flash the 3 files all together with hwota8?
many thanks

You should only have 3 files, that are specific to your model. FF gives you the exact download links you need as long as the correct model is selected.
If you can get into the OS, it will be under Settings > System > About phone (example: MHA-L29 with the build number showing the region - ie. C636). Or a better way is to get the FF app and it will show you the model as well as the region. If you cannot get into the OS and your phone has not been rebranded, it will be on a label on the original box. My phone is from China so it came as a MHA-AL00, but was rebranded to MHA-L29C636 (International version). There are also other versions such as C567 for USA and so forth. The files you download have to match exactly what you have, do not flash it if unsure.

Any modified partitions? That would most likely be why, and you'd have to flash FullOTA if that's the case.

Difference between OTA and FULLOTA is that OTA patches existing partitions while full flashes full images. Your data will stay untouched

How to downgrade firmware?

I have a new SHT-AL09 with 172 firmware and a locked bootloader.
This firmware prohibits DC-Unlocker from reading the bootloader unlock code.
How do I downgrade to a previous firmware?

Try HuRUpdater: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/unbrick-mediapad-m5-install-otas-t3856312
You should be able to install TWRP even with locked bootloader. Download the full OTA and follow the HuRUpdater instructions.

Has anyone tried it yet?
Don't want to be the first, since I do not feel too comfortable and I am awqy for a few days

I think there is very little risk. Even when the downgrade fails, you should be able to just flash 172 again with HuRUpdater to restore back the original state. Don’t try to rollback too far, install the last version prior to 172 and try dc unlocker again.

I asked on a german Forum and got the response that TWRP cannot be installed with locked BL - which I find somewhat logical - however, I am reaching for the unlikely event that I can get an open Bootloader somehow....

I am a little confused by the instructions. I have to put the TWRP.img in the folder on the SD Card together with the HuRUpdater.zip file and the firmware zip files. But then what? How do I flash anything?

I cannot flash TWRP with my locked bootloader. I get an error FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) when I try this when the M5 is in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Found this on the last page of the HuRUpdater thread:
Absolute prerequisite: unlocked bootloader
I don't have this so is there another way to downgrade the firmware?

OK, bummer. You can try the dload method, not sure if that works for downgrades though: dload

Firmware Finder apparently does not work with EMUI8 anymore.
And there is no rollback package available for the M5.
I have always found a solution for these kind of problems on XDA (and I have had a bricked device or two) but for the moment I am at a loss.
Guess I will have to learn to live without root and with the stock Huawei firmware...

Sorry mate, tough luck. ? I think the hardware of the device is pretty nice, but the stock firmware is so full of crap and spyware, totally unacceptable.

when downgrading using dload, check for xloader version first.

For my SHT-AL09 there is no older firmware on androidhost.ru than B172.
I have downloaded the B163 and B152 firmware through Huawei Firmware Finder and I can extract it with HuaweiUpdateExtractor but then what?

From my latest findings:
Bootloader need to be unlocked for DOWNGRADE to sucess in firmware mode with a working dload service repair firmware.
With locked bootloader you'll only be able to DOWNGRADE in eRecovery mode with the latest firmware approved (It will be a downgrade only if said version is the latest approved fetched in eRecovery and inferior to yours current)
I did not find yet how the latest firmware shown/available in eRecovery is fetched into eRecovery. I think it happens in normal mode sometimes when you're connected online. You'll then have to reboot later to eRecovery to be shown...
Now, for your SHT-AL09 B172 with august 2018 secutity patches, the only way to downgrade is to get your unlock code and vice&versa.
Luckyly, third-party sellers are just starting to provide working bootloader's unlock code online for around 30~50€.
New devices are supported.
You just pay, gave them Model ID, IMEI1, Serial, Product ID and you'll get your code within the next hours.
You just pay, gave them Model ID, IMEI1, Serial, Product ID and you'll got it within the next hours. I already tested it on few devices.
FunkyHuawei does it for 130€ per device with other services included.

I am also interested in rooting M5. Where you able to downgrade the tablet from B172 to B161?

No

I am also looking for a way to downgrade my Mediapad M5.
I have Hauwei MediaPad M5 CMR-AL09 (C432) currently running 8.0.0.192. dc-unlocker does not work with this version so I can not unlock bootloader.
This is what I have done:
* Format external sdcard into exfat. I used my Ubuntu Linux computer for this, sudo mkfs.exfat /dev/sdx1.
* Put the empty sdcard into the tablet.
* Download android app "Firmware Finder for Huawei" and I choose CMR-AL09C432B161 (8.0.0.161) FullOTA-MF. Downloaded that into update.zip file.
* I use android app FX File Explorer to get read/write access to the mediacard and to create the dload folder.
* I used android app FX File Explorer to extract only UPDATE.APP file into mediacard and the dload folder. The file is around 4.2GB in size when extracted. I also tried to put all files into dload folder but with the same result below.
* Open dialer and type in *#*#2846579#*#*. Go to software upgrade and choose SDCard upgrade. The tablet will now restart and do the downgrade.
* Problem now is that it goes into 5% and then fails.
Am guessing there is some protection to downgrade into 8.0.0.161 version.
Guys.. Let's solve this. :crying:

Hmhm. I downgraded my Mediapad M5 Pro from 8.0.0.172 to 8.0.0.161
This is what I did:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...uer-huawei-mediapad-m5-ab-08-2018.892304.html
(short paraphrase of my downgrade-"guide" at android-hilfe.de)
1) check xloader-version
2) Download the potential downgrade from androidfilehost.ru (this worked for me, again, M5 PRO (CMR-AL19), Europe! https://androidhost.ru/byu )
2.1) The structure inside is firmware-name>software>dload
2.2) copy dload onto your SD (root directory)
3)The downgrade-process
3.1) power off the device
3.2) Volume up AND down AND Power Button for some seconds
3.3) Downgrade should start! If folder is not recognized, a Pink screen will appear - just do it from the start.
After rebooting, you should then have the version you wanted to downgrade to.
I have done this several times ( accidently updated once or twice )and it worked without any trouble.
The 5% thing: it stayed at 5% for quite some time. But it always went on after some time, at least for me
I read somewhere, sometime ago that with Firmware Finder the security check that is somewhere included in the file is not removed and therefore you cannot use those files. It seems imperative to me that one uses androidhost.ru (no guarantee that this information is right - so feel free to correct me )
ah, sorry only now I realized that you specified CMR-AL09, we had someone do it for SHT-AL-09, sorry :-/
but why don't you try the files from androidhost.ru (download the correct firmware! I linked the one for the M5 Pro! )

Thanks kev1807 for the input.
I tried the firmware you linked to for Huawei MediaPad M5 CMR-AL09 (C432) version 8.0.0.161. It did not work.
I found the version 8.0.0.190 on androidfilehost.ru and that worked. So I have now downgraded from 8.0.0.192 to 8.0.0.190 but that will not help me much. Downgrading into 8.0.0.161 still does not work.
I was on 8.0.0.192 and manage to use the file
"Huawei MadiaPad M5 CMR-AL19 hw eu Cameron-AL09A 8.0.0.190(C432) Firmware 8.0.0 r1 EMUI8.0 05014XYB [androidhost.ru]"
I have tried these packages but they have not worked.

[BOUNTY] to anyone that can workout and provide a guide to re brand AL00 to L29

[BOUNTY] to anyone that can workout and provide a guide to re brand AL00 to L29
I personally pledge £50

And whoever can also figure out a way to enable oem unlocking on the L29 should be in the bounty.
In the past there was a file you flashed in stock recovery that allowed you to downgrade your Android version. I wonder if you can get ahold a similar file for the 20X if you could rebrand with that. Here's how it may be able to get done. Merge the custs (the AL00 and L29) together into a twrp flashable zip and flash it in twrp. Then copy the full L29 rom zip on to your internal storage into a folder called dload. Then fastboot flash the boot, system, recovery etc from the L29 stock rom. Then shut down and hold in vol up + vol down and power to enter emergency recovery mode. Recovery will attempt to flash the full rom that is in the dload folder. If this update doesn't fail then you will be converted. I don't have an AL00 or else I would try this. It's the way we were able to rebrand some Huwei devices in the past.
The updater usually looks for the oeminfo (cust) for the Global version and if it is present along with the original (Chinese cust) the Global update would actually go through (or it would fail at 98 percent on the cust part but still boot) which we could then fix by flashing the L29 cust in fastboot or the merged cust in twrp.

L29 won't work as permission to enable option to unlock bootloader is not accessible .. problem is dat on L29 there is more security added +FRP lock .. AL00 has no FRP .. and no disabled allowance to unlock bootloader.. toggle option is not there so AL00 bootloader can be unlocked...
You can do tricks only with AL00 ..
Who want's to be ginny pig ? :laugh:

In the past DCUnlocker could remove FRP and retrieve your bootloader code on most Huawei phones

The .172 update enables OEM unlock on the L29 device. Rebranding could he coming soon. :fingers-crossed:
