CSC G900FOXA1BOC7
Pl. can you anyone point to right path?
Sorry fella, discussion of how to modify IMEI numbers is against XDA rules as it is illegal to tamper with it in many countries. I understand your reason for posting and that you are simply trying to get your device back in working order, but any methods or information posted here in answer to your question could be seen and used by somebody 'less honest' so unfortunately for you, you're not going to get your answer on this site.
The only bit of info we can give would be to take your device to a repair centre where they have the equipment needed to re-write your IMEI.
Hi guys,
I'm a little noob with geek stuff but still I like to do it by myself.
Story: I went abroad for a six months trip and I bought a P8 lite in Japan (Soft bank carrier). The model is a ALE-L02-C111B210 (single sim) and from my search on the forum, I understand that it is the same as L21 except LTE frequencies may not work. I have different ideas but I'd like to check before doing anything stupid (which I am )
The phone has a lot of japanese crappy apps that I cannot uninstall and no updates are provided by this carrier. That why I want to root it and debrand it.
1- When I put my european simcard, it ask me for a network unlock code. I cannot get it from the carrier because my account was closed and they don't want to hear anything. I then found website who can give me a "generic" unlock code for this device against 10€. Before paying for a code, I'd like to know if rooting the phone and puting a custom/unbrand rom, it will also unlock the network or not. I compare to my old iphone who can be unlocked once rooted
2- I read a LOT of threds about L21 and several people with the L02 used the video for RootJunky who give all required files included a firmware file but an old one I think (V100R001C636B120).
Can replace it with one I got from huawei website but following the same procedure ? for instance : HUAWEI P8 Lite Firmware(ALE-L21, Andriod 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C432B565, Austria, Single SIM, Channel-Others)
3- dumb question. what's the stock rom for ? because it is only 34Mb on the RootJunky repository
Thanks a lot for any help/answer

1) Which website? Are you sure it is safe? Don't give credit card information on such sites without confirmation. Iphone rooted?Iphone can be unlock and jail break but remember root is different from jailbreaking.
2) You may flash other country firmware. It's no big deal. But you may need to unlock bootloader.
3) stock rom is the default rom that phone comes with. Its size is usually above 1GB. 34MB can't be stock rom.

This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread.
FunkyHuawei is a (mostly) paid service which allows you to do the following:
1. Install the latest system software, even before it's released by OTA.
2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.
3. Recover a bricked phone.
4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
Except for rooting, all of these features are supported even if you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-emui-6-huawei-mate-9/
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Mate 9 Device-Specific Information
The Mate 9 now has a relatively mature community with many methods to do many things.
However, there are still some things only possible with FunkyHuawei, so it would be most useful for:
1. Installing updates, especially on bootloader-locked devices, even if the update is not approved by Huawei for your device.
2. Rebranding bootloader-locked devices.
3. Restoring bricked devices.
Note that even though the Mate 10 Root tool is designed for and publicized as being for the Mate 10, it works perfectly on the Mate 9 running Android O betas.
This tool is FREE, and might be easier than installing TWRP and rooting that way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
I am surprised how you always have the audacity to constantly advertise your paid services on here even though most of the community is obviously bothered by it.
Advertising your products is against the rules of XDA. You're just getting away with it nowadays because you're doing it indirectly. But you're not fooling anyone and we all know what you're doing. Just stop. It's annoying.
New Android O Build: MHA-L29 8.0.0.329(C432) now available for MHA-L29 European branding.
Can be installed with eRecovery on top of any Android O beta.
Someone report this

It is currently allowed for commercial organizations to post "support" threads so long as they don't post links to their site, behave in a spammy way or post things that are clearly not of interest or use to our users or our purpose as a site. This is of use as the info is of direct relevance and use to users. The information here is not really any more than we'd allow in a "Support" thread.
So, it's within the rule, he is providing support, he's not linking out of XDA. As with any other support thread, if for any reason it were to be abused then the article would be pulled and the thread closed.

I never said his post broke any of the rules. I do realize that it does not. If it was, I would have reported it.
I am not sure if you're a Mate 9 user, but if you do spend a lot of time on the Mate 9 forums you'd see how he is always talking about his website and how he used it to do X and Y. About how it is a solution to bricked phones and whatsoever. It is not that hard to see that he is indeed indirectly advertising for his service (and I do realize there might be no rules against that). But yeah. It is just annoying how he is always on about his website. Especially considering that the user was previously temporary banned for putting his paid service on here.

No problem. The post wasn't completely directed at you. We'd already received reports from other members so I wanted to explain to all; your post just happened to be readily available to reply to.
I understand your point and we've clarified with him what is and isn't allowed. He's promised to tone it down and to limit it to his support threads. So, as we do with all members of the community who want to contribute, let's give him the benefit of the doubt and let this thread get back on topic.

While I generally don't approve of advertising here on xda, I have to say that Funky Huawei with their unbrick tool are a life saver. As long as you can get into fastboot mode this little tool can rescue your phone. It costs a little money for their "credits" but when it comes to either having a $400 paperweight or having a working phone the process is worth it.

Hate to agree, while I don't like how they operate I have used them to save a device or two because I messed up. The eRecovery with DNS is brilliant and pretty much idiot (me) proof.

L09 is the single sim version and L29 is the dual SIM version, rebranding is not going to change the model.

Same here, this was the first and hopefully last time, if it wasn't for a corrupt system.img backup that I had I wouldn't have had to use their unlock tool, next time I flash a custom system I'm going to make damn sure my backup is flashable and not going to brick this beast
Hi guys and gals
Any information on functionality of this model after unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP and choice of rom.
Why I posted was to check that whoever reads this post can be assured of at least getting the same experience of the stock OS, but with all the goodies that come with Oreo, preferably 64bit version.
One thing I have noticed is that download links tend to have a specific model ie pixel experience shows xt1686 on androidfilehost.
So any information regarding UK only model can be kept in one place, if anyone has spent any time reading the G5plus forums its a right mess between the different models, and the same questions and answers are going around again and again, so for us if having one Country specific post can help any confusion, great in my book.
Any non UK owners, please do not clutter up this thread, suggest you create your own model/country specific new post.
Regards
Ray
I've only just got my xt1685, so haven't rooted yet.
I want to use android pay so need to read up on that first.
I've also have a G3 and I prosume this will be the same and any regnal version for a G5 plus will work.

What are you talking about "unlock"?
Bootloader unlock or carrier sim card unlock?
The bootloader cannot be unlocked on this device.
To carrier unlock it so you can use any sim card, not just Sprint you will have to contact Sprint customer service who should unlock it for free provided the phone is paid off if financed https://www.sprint.com/en/support/solutions/device/faqs-about-unlocking-your-sprint-device.html
Or you can find one of the millions of paid services to do it for you
