Hello everyone. I have an idea: let's share our oeminfo?
What is oeminfo?
Oeminfo is a partition in Huawei devices that defines what regional settings will be applied on boot.
How does it work?
No one except Huawei knows what exactly this partition contains. It can't be mounted, most likely doesn't contain files and its format is undefined.
The only thing we know is that changing its content to the one from device of another country makes your device think it's from that country.
Also we know that the device somehow reads this partiton and decides what folder from cust partiton to read and link to.
What's all that for?
As we know, Chinese manufacturers often forget to update devices from countries other than China. It makes their owners frustrate and dream of new features they'll possibly never get.
How to know what oeminfo do i have?
First of all, go to "About device" and look at build number. For example, my Russian tablet has BTV-DL09C100B005 number. BTV-DL09 is model, C100 is region my firmware belongs to and B005 is version.
At this moment we can find the newest chinese firmware, which build number is BTV-DL09C233B026. C233 is Chinese region and this firmware brings some new features to EMUI like posibility to hide navigation bar, set screen density to apps etc. Of course if your region differs from C233, you won't see this update with Update menu.
Also, you can type *#*#2846579#*#* in dialer, go to Network Information Query and then to Vendor Country info. My device shows Vendor: hw, Country: ru.
How to backup oeminfo?
I know 3 ways:
1) With TWRP backup feature
2) With dd from TWRP adb shell
3) With ES Explorer.
1) Backup with TWRP is easy and doesn't need an explanation.
2) To backup with dd go to TWRP, connect your device to the computer, type adb shell in command line and you'll be in TWRP console.
Now type dd if=/dev/block/platrofm/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo.img and you'll get a byte-to-byte copy of oeminfo partition in internal storage.
3) To backup with ES Explorer, you'll need root access. If you have if, go to /dev/block/platrofm/hi_mci.0/by-name/ and copy oeminfo to another place.
I don't know which way is the most correct, but owners of another Huawei devices change oeminfo with ES Explorer and sometimes dd.
So, what do you, guys, think? If someone has Chinese DL09 with C233 region, please, share your oeminfo, so other people could get updates.
Wow, great post full of great info...
Just for the sake of trying, I successfully copied my oeminfo file as you advise from /dev/... to SDcard, using ES Explorer in root mode.
For everyone's info that's a mighty 64MB file... my case is vendor=hw, country=eu.
One innocent question: say we get a Chinese oeminfo somehow, how to be sure that swapping around those files in /dev/... directory won't brick the device? (or turn the display to unreadable pinyin characters...)

Well, this method of switching regions is used on many huawei devices like Mate 8, Honor 6, P8 lite, Mediapad M2, Mediapad X2, etc. I can't garantee that it works on M3, but I don't think it's something completely different from other devices where this method works. Anyway, at this moment I want to collect these files from different regions and see if they're at least similar. Its size is really 64MB and it's OK. I also would make a dd backup just in case something goes wrong.
P.S. what's your build number? I'd like to know if other countries have more recent firmware than Russia, cause the reason of all this messing around is just getting as more updates as possible.

it's BTV-DL09C100B003
by the way I also uploaded my oeminfo file up there so you can play around.... (click the "Valider et telecharger le fichier" button in the middle).
Let us know how it goes...
Got mine through a gray import, and looks like it is a Chinese version:
Model No: BTV-W09
Build No: BTV-W09C233B019
Device not rooted yet and waiting for availability of official recovery before installing TWRP.
Device did have a lot of Chinese app (since uninstalled) but no real issue switching language to English on first boot up. Had to select English (UK) before I can use Australia as region. Selecting English (US) did not give Australia as a country as an option.
Have also replaced the EMUI with stock standard Google interface.
I am not rooting mine yet but my
Modelnumber: BTV-W09
Build Number: BTF-W09C100B003
bought mine officially in Austria

What's different from DL09? Wi-Fi only, no SIM? Is there anything interesting in Settings? Does it see any OTA?
Hi,
from Huawei's specifications page, indeed seems only two models have been released: DL09 (L as LTE) and W09 (W as WIFI).
DL being the same as W with cellphone "Network" features added, i.e. GSM, UMTS, LTE, etc.
Availability of the LTE seems to depend on region, whereas the (cheaper) WIFI model is available everywhere.
eg. in EU we have both, whereas it seems they only get the W in the US.

WiFi only. Only had one OTA and that was when I first turned it on. No current update in settings.
This is important stuff since it may help us unlock the 5 GHz WiFi which is disabled in the US versions.
I have been searching and I have found https://pan.baidu.com/s/1nuUWTo1 contains the fastboot roms for the chinese versions this has 4 files boot recovery cust and system
in my preliminary analysis I see that boot and recovery are signed and the signature block is 4K
Looks a good start ... but it's all in Chinese characters. Google translate does a great job but eventually downloading bigger files need the "BaiduNetDisk" utility to be installed, which is all in pinyin too ... unreadable for non-asians and google translate cannot be used to help it.
Any chance you could retrieve this all and upload it for us to another place?
Essentially these two big 1.4GB files cannot be downloaded w/o the utility :
华为_BTV-W09_BTV-W09C233B017_中国(China)_6.0.zip
华为_BTV-W09_BTV-W09C233B010_中国(China)_6.0.zip
and beware, the file MiFlash工具教程.zip is reported by Firefox to contain a virus or malware. Might be true or not, but at least MSE does not flag it as dangerous.

Don't know why, but I can mark these files, press 下载 button and files are being downloaded. The problem is it's very slow.
Also, I have a link to Full OTA firmware for BTV-W09C233B019:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1224/g490/v67974/f1/full/update.zip
PLEASE, BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL IT
How-to:
1) Download this file.
2) Open it and assure that it has META-INF folder and UPDATE.APP file inside.
3) Find some kind of Huawei firmware extractor and open UPDATE.APP with it.
4) Extract cust.img and verlist.img
5) Open verlist.img with notepad or any other text editor and assure it has BTV-W09Cxxx inside, where xxx is a number.
6) Find ext4 extractor and extract cust.img. Somewhere in dualcu/cn/prop you will find local.prop. Open it and assure it has ro.build.display_id=BTV-DL09C233B019 inside.
7) Boot into TWRP and make a backup, transfer in to the PC.
8) Make a backup of all partitions with dd from adb shell (still it TWRP):
Code:
for f in 3rdmodem 3rdmodemnvm 3rdmodemnvmbkp boot cache cust dfx dts fastboot frp fw_hifi fw_lpm3 hisitest0 hisitest1 hisitest2 misc modem modem_dsp modem_dtb modem_om modemnvm_backup modemnvm_factory modemnvm_img modemnvm_system modemnvm_update nvme oeminfo persist recovery recovery2 reserved1 reserved2 secure_storage sensorhub splash splash2 system teeos trustfirmware vrl vrl_backup ; do echo "Copying $f"; dd if=$f of=/sdcard/$f.img; done
Please, edit it according to partitions you have, because this script is for BTV-DL09. The easiest way to do it is launch "ls -1" command, copy its output to notepad, delete userdata from the list and put everything in one line.
9) Copy img files to your computer.
10) put update.zip to your tablet's memory and install it with TWRP, just like any other zip file.
11) You will loose TWRP, so boot into fastboot and reinstall it.
I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong. I don't have W09 tablet, but all these have been done by me on a DL09 variant with Chinese C233B026 firmware.
Also, I will try to download these zip files and put them to another site.
Added links to those Chinese ROMS. Please, tell me if you can't download them or can't undestand how to.

So, well, thanks to all. As I see, there's really no great need in changing OemInfo at this moment.
Here're the reasons:
1) You want OTA -> you don't modify the system. Otherwise it won't install.
2) If you have root and did some modifications, it's better to install Chinese firmware than wait for an OTA which may come or not.
3) This tablet is not a cheap one and still there was no person who'd like to try changing OEMINFO to some other, so we don't know if it can be done at all.
4) Chinese firmware can be successfully installed with TWRP and if you backup your cust partition and restore your original folder structure there after installation, you won't have any problems. Moreover your tablet will behave just like it's from your country, not China.
5) Nobody knows how to manually install OTA updates, because old ways don't work and new ones are not discovered.
Could somebody post a TWRP backup of the Chinese version of oeminfo for the BTV-DL09C233.

Hello all, I'm relatively new to this forum but I'd like to make a contribution.
Recently I rebranded my Mediapad M3, changing the oeminfo from C233 to C100.
I made a backup before this change and would like to share it.
Of course, I wouldn't recommend the C233 unless you are Chinese. Because of the Chinese gov't ban on Google products, it removes most standard Google features and replaces them with Chinese versions.
While there are workarounds (installing Google Play) I feel that it significantly alters the Android experience.
I can confirm that changing from C233(China) to C100(Europe) works well, however I am not sure if the same can be said of the converse situation.
Anyway, enjoy!

There are maybe about 10 apps in place of google apps, but most of them can be uninstalled. A few can only be disabled
I bought mine in Romania, it has Vendor: hw, Country: eu. The sticker on the back, with the MAC and S/N says Huawei Technologies Netherlands BV. I have a W09C100 version, with Nougat B301 on it right now.
Hi all! After sarchin' on the net (and haven't found anything good), I'll make a guide on How to unroot, unbrick 'n' lock your device.
BEFORE ALL
There is one problem: The rollbacks don't exist for all models, so this guide isn't for everything models. I don't recommend to use it for India, China, Middle East regions' versions.
You can find everything needed for you
HERE for the FRD-L09
HERE for the FRD-L04 (thanks to @matt914)
TESTED DEVICES
FRD-L09 (By me)
FRD-L04 (By @matt914 again)
Code:
/*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this GUIDE
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
WHAT YOU NEED
1. Your device (that guide is only for Honor 8)
2. Your rollback and MM packages WATCH HERE
3. A MicroSD card and its MicroSD/SD or MicroSD/USB reader
4. Your PC (I've tested it with linux, but You can use Windows too).
5. Your USB cable
HOW TO
1. Download the rollback and the MM firmware from hihonor
2. Extract the zip packages, you'll find a dload folder and some pdfs (you can delete these pdfs)
FOR LINUX
3. Before all install the android-tools (google is your friend on that)
4. With THAT you'll be able to extract files from MM UPDATE.APP (thanks to @marco.minetti), you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a terminal on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
sudo fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
FOR WINDOWS
3. Before all install the minimal android tool (google is your friend on that)
4. With Huawei Extractor tool, you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img (FROM THE MM UPDATE.APP)
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a CMD (with administrator access) on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
AT THE END
If you have followed the instructions correctly you'll with a device with MM firmware. It will download b380 and than b389 (for the FRD-L09 version).
Flashing the MM package will lock your device (not relock) so you don't need the fastboot oem lock [key]

For step 7 in the Windows guide, how exactly are we supposed to put the rollback dload folder onto the SD card when it wont mount the SD card? twrp? or do I have to take out the SD card and use it in a card reader?

Format /data (not wipe!) from TWRP and then the errors about mounting /data will be gone. Note that this will wipe your internal memory, so you better backup your stuff before doing this.
Hi all,
No need to format data here link for twrp recovery

sound great (u have the same device)
sorry iam noob so let me ask u question
when my device was bricked i unbricked it using this thread >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-plus/help/to-stock-using-fastboot-t3708585 by #Henkate
and download this frimware from here >> https://www.getdroidtips.com/b350-nougat-huawei-nova-plus/
and now my mla l11 works good
then i download huawei updater finder and found a update (2018.01.12) and i think its the last update
so i donwloaded it with (huawei update finder) .. (FULLOTA-MF) and (OTA-MF) its name (MLA-L11C432B361)
so i want to flash it but i dont know how
Note : i dont have Update on setting menu O.O
sorry for my bad english and my stupid brain xD !
Updating is depending on your region and cust, don't flush any update if it is not for you region.
Regions are defined by end letters in cust
Exmp: mine is meaf c185d001
Meaf: meadle east africa
And if your device work good why want you update it, only if it's for android 8
For the missing update botton in your menu, i think you haven't cust too
In what about phone in parameter, the cust line is missing i think
And what about theme manager ?

Theme manger doesn't work and I tried a lot of method like create (hw_init) folder and give it permissions ...
Do you know how to solve it please
In about phone, and last line where the cust number is missing for you, no ?
And there's a thread on this forum to fix it
And i had this problem, and fixed it with creating hw_init folder
Redoo the instructions carefully and it will succed
If not, you have to flash cust.img ( you get it with update extracter) with fastboot method ( not tested !)

1.
Cust number is missing I can't find it in about phone
Okay I will going to extract it

2.
I tried all the method on this forum to fix this problem and failed ( theme changer )
Let me explain the ( theme changer ) error :
When I open app (themes) it open but not show anything (blank page) .. I tried install themes from play store and it's appear on theme manger and when I click apply nothing happen !
Hope you can help me with this problem
1- No cust.img fashed in fastboot mode not TWRP
2- I create a video how to create hw_init folder for themes, hope can help you
3- For cust partion i create a TWRP backup for you, hope can help you too
to restore cust backup, first you need to create a backup for any partition from your recovery
( the reason is that Twrp create a folder for your backups in your SDcard )
then replace files in your Twrp folder by mine, and choose restore cust partition from recovery
i haven't tested it, i only want to help you
i will give you links when upload is finished if you want
before doing any thing from my last post i want to try another method
i have a file to fix cust partition you can try it, if not succeed then try the other method
it's for europe region custom.bin file, extract archive and with root explorer from your phone
go to Root and Data search custom.bin file ( it's in the end ) save your original file by copying it
then replace it by the one given ( change permission to 0644 )
reboot and see if the problem is solved

First : i dont know how to thank you for what u doing for me <3 !!
Second : I found this ROM on huawei update finder app ,and when I click on (check firmware access) with my imie it says (its approve for installation) >> mla-l11c185b341
And I want to flash it manually (put update file on dload folder)

my device bricked after reboot :/ after putting ur coustme.bin and gave it perrmission
now lets stratr from 0 (fresh start) tell me the right firmware for my device cuz i was flash eu version
what can i do now !!
yes if you want official update you have to revert back to stock recovery, and i think 2 other things:
1- delete root by flashing stock boot file
2- relock bootloader
for links here the 2 links:

yeah i see ! but is that required locked bootloader ?!
and there's no reason that TWRP can't mount partitions, i don't know why, it works for me
i have briked it when i flashed superuser and delete supersu files by recovery file manager
by the way tell me if you succeed by flashing a fresh update

Hi!
i create a software to fix Balong issue after flashing a ROM.
Download the zip, extract the folder then only need to follow the steps in software!
Check the pictures bellow!
If fails check if cust image is properly installed before execute the software again.
Tell me if worked for you!
.
Thanks.
I've installed TWRP 3.1.1-0, but when I use your software it says "error: no devices/emulators found", even if I put the correct cust path

Hi
After an update (official!) I re-encountered BALONG. After using your marvelous tool, it worked again, but there's no need to reset device (as written on CMD).
In addition, for the ones that get the error "no device attached" or something similar, you've only to reboot to TWRP, connect the phone to Windows and press Win+X, click on "device manager", look for "android device" or something similar. Right click on it and select "update driver", click the second option and than select that you already have the CD driver. You'll see a list: select "ADB composite device" and than finish: you've done!
Ah, I was about to forget: thank you!
Regards,

Hi.
Thanks for fast answer. I could fix the problem.
I downloaded the EMUI 3.1 as Magyar Telekom firmware from an arabic server cause ru huawei servers doesnt work lol. So I downloaded it I extracted boot, recovery, system, cust img files from UPDATE.APP with Huawei AppImage Extractor application. I flashed these with fastboot (Not TWRP, not huawei recovery). Fastboot from computer. Ok. But at the moment SIM does not work. I upgraded the system from Huawei update from settings (not recovery, system settings). After update the ROM and SIM is work perfectly.
Btw thanks your answer, topices too. This is a big help from you.
Have a nice day, Balázs.
