How to tell what region Huawei P8 is from?

My Huawei P8 has some blue clouding on the screen and I want to get it repaired. How can I find out what region the phone is originally from? Huawei USA support didn't understand the question and they said they cannot service the phone. It's a GRA-L09 I think from Latin America, but I don't know exactly where.

I already wrote how to see the location of your P8 must be typed in dialer *#*#2846579#*#*> Network info-on query>Country Vendor Info>Vendor

My vendor is "eu" so I guess I will try with the German support. Thanks.

My vendor is: hw
Where is it from?

Sorry, can't tell without the country code.
What does it say next to 'Country'?

Vendor: hw
Country: meafnaf
It could been changed by updating the firmware from LL to MM (GRA-UL00C185B320)?. At first it has´t ...C185... (I didn´t take note the original)

In that case, your phone is actually a GRA-UL10 or CL10 (not L09) - as only this model has the premium spec (64Gb storage) & dual-SIM capability.
My guess is that someone may have installed a GRA-L09 (single-SIM) firmware/rom on your phone, which would also explain the lack of dual-SIM settings. Contact the previous owner & ask about this.
What model is mentioned on the rear bottom of your phone in tiny text? And what's the full firmware build number in Settings > About phone? It will be in this format: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.
Edit: Ok, what I said before may not be entirely true, as I've since found 2 instances of the L09 model with 64Gb storage + Kirin 935, & for both there's only single-SIM support mentioned:

From all the info you've given so far, my guess now is that you have an International version, but with a single-SIM European firmware installed (HERE's an example of a GRA-L09 dual-SIM firmware, so it does exist).
Where did you buy the phone from? Which country or region? If you bought it secondhand, where did your seller buy it from brand new?
What was the previous / original firmware installed before you updated to your present C432B392?
What was the original firmware that came with the brand new phone? Do you remember, or can you find out from the original buyer?

Vendor: country file not exist
Country: vendor country file not exist

Looks like you (or the previous owner) installed a firmware version that's different to the region meant for your phone - like in these 2 examples:
Help resting P8 back to complete stock, recovery, system etc.
Need a kind soul to help!
What is the model number/code mentioned in tiny text on the rear bottom of the phone? It will be in this format: GRA-xxxx.
What is the full 'Build number' mentioned in Settings > About phone? It will be in this format or similar: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.

That looks fine, although normally it would be GRA-L09 & GRA-L09C469B190.
If it is as I say, which country are you from, or which country did you purchase the phone from? Also, is the phone vendor/network branded?

Usually, on network-branded phones, the company's logo will be visible during bootup. Also, there may be Entel-related apps installed.
Are you wanting to update your phone's software from Lollipop (Android 5) to Marshmallow (Android 6)?

Product serial number missing

I picked up a 2nd hand NXT-L29 off ebay. The IMEI numbers check out OK but the serial number is reporting ' 123456789ABCDEF' so is missing.
HCU Cannot find the serial number.
Is there any better way to find it?

check any labels and/or stickers on the phone or in the box it came with, the serial number is usually printed somewhere...

you can use it without serial number, its fine.
But few more things i will tell you in advance.
1. you will not be able to unlock bootloader, not even with dc-unlocker
2. most likely oem info will be damaged already.
3. if oem info is not there, then updates are not going to work
4. You are not alone, i have fixed some phones with same problem. most devices sold on ebay are tempered , that is why they are cheaper.
if you don't have box, serial number can be found under back cover. yes you have to open it.

Sent it back as inability to root is a deal-breaker.
I was told elsewhere that it could also be the result of a repair or manufacturing fault but I don't feel like prising it open to find out.
The only question is why do Huawei make you jump through so many hoops to unlock the bootloader when most other manufacturers just have the adb&fastboot?

yes, u can fix it using the HCU tool to repair or reinstate serial/imei but you have to have that information at hand..once done repairing you can proceed to read the bootloader code using the same tool..at fastboot, the phone may already show that bootloader unlocked but all you have to do is unlocking the bootloader again using code received from HCU tool, via fastboot oem unlock XXX.
Then your bootloader is unlocked and ready to flash twrp and root..if youre doing it right, it will cost you 12 euro, 8 credits for repairing serial/imei and 4 for getting new bootloader code using HCU..note that even if you restored serial/imei back to original, the original bootloader code received from huawei website will no longer work so you have to get new one from HCU, or DC-unlocker tool

You can use hcu to repair and to get unlock code only using 8 credit. Just do both things without closing the software.
I bricked my phone and ended up with no SN when flashed with DC Phoenix.

Hello! forgive me if I disturb you, but I wanted to ask you a question: can you confirm that I can repair my serial number and read the bootloader unlock code using only 8 credits / 8 EUR?
What version of HCU Client did you use?
Because I bricked my Honor 8, I recovered it with DC Phoenix and so:
- I lost my serial number, replaced by a generic 0123456789ABCDF
- the old bootloader unlocked code I obtained from Huawei now no longer works because DC Phoenix also changed the Product ID of the phone and I want to read the bootloader unlock code.
It would be perfect to fix everything with only 8 EUR instead of 12 EUR.
Thanks!

Yes, I confirm, I mean that's what I did, and that's what DC Service told to me.
You can do both with only 8 EUR just do both without closing the software in between. It saved my Mate 8.
I used last HCU software provided on website.

I was wondering if someone can help me get the bootloader unlock code for me
IMEI1: 867928037394271
IMEI2: 867928037414285
Serial number: 9DC7N18530000998
EAN: 6901443158102
Huawei not giving me any code i try to flash another recovery like TWRP it says FAILED: Command NOT ALLOWED

Huawei won't give me a code either. I even stated that I'm aware that unlocking may void my warranty and that I've rooted etc numerous phones before. Still they won't give me the code... Anyone got any luck in getting the code in recent days?
Thanks
Edit: Nevermind, got it sorted. DC Unlocker did the job, and costs only €4.
