Unable to debrand Huawei Nova

Hi everybody,
this is my first post so please forgive any "incorrect habit" might come out of this post.
My situation is the following: I bought a Huawei Nova smartphone about a week ago. It comes with Vodafone brand and the complete build model is CAN-L01C02B130CUSTC02D014.
I read lots of forum posts and blogs over the web and what I learned is that:
- L01 means single sim;
- C02 means that is branded Vodafone;
- B130 is the firmware version;
- CUSTC02D014 is the custom build with the debug version.
I want to debrand my smartphone (without unlocking or rooting it, if possible) so I downloaded FirmwareFinder and, from there, I fetched every firmware compatible with CAN-L01 following to my build model (made on 2016-09-14). Unfortunately, I was not able to install any of those firmwares (very strange).
Given the above-mentioned information, here are my questions:
1 - is it possible to debrand my smartphone without unlocking and rooting?
2 - is it really possible that every firmware made after mine (on 2016-09-14) failed to install?
3 - how can I pick a compatible firmware?
4 - someone wrote that before installing a more recent firmware, one must debrand by downgrading and then (only then) update the firmware itself. Is it true?
Thank you very much,
Valerio

Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers for more relevant answers.
Good luck

For your case you have to find a full update.app and to flash it via the tree buttons method

Ok so I need tofind a full update, but I am not able to do it on FirmwareFinder...I guess I have to wait for it a little bit...but (knowing that I have CAN-L01C02 build model) do you think I can install a CAN-L01C432 firmware when it comes out?
Thank you for your help.

I think that is better not to install it using the three button method. If you going to do it, at least have a nandroid backup, assuming you unlocked your bootloader and installed the twrp.
One other way to try, requires a unlocked bootloader too, huawei extract tool and then flash system.img and boot.img at least.
I linked the source, but Idk if it is going to work and requeries courage to do this :/
Edit: sadly, wait for the official upgrad is the most safer thing to do right now

I can tell for sure, but from the changelogs I read, it seems it is a test build or something like that. I could open it with dsixda and will try to flash as soon I unlock the bootloader but I'm waiting to get the code.

Thank you so much for the link! I think it should go flawlessly as long as it is compatible with CAN-L01 (and it actually is). The only thing that stops is that it is a test build...maybe I'll wait the official release too.

Nova Plus MLA.....

Is it possible, to open a thread for the Nova Plus MLA-LXX only?
Root, firmwareupdates , etc.

i think its a good idea...im in canada /rogers with mla-l03...and not much here for our version

Not rooted ( yet ) but got the unlock code, me too
have the code, yet not used, all my other mobiles ihave rooted

Like i said...our device is a one pretty young...birth in september so...theres no rush to "enter the dragon" :angel:
But very anxious to try nouEmui

i have tried the unlock code, and it works, but i have relocked it.....

I've the MLA-L11 too. would be awsome to have a working TWRP , no use in getting bt unlocked
unless there is a custom recovery. I'd say we find a dev and donate enough to persuade him to work
on a twrp !

Hi, where is the android 7.0 for us, I hate Huawei when they are late on softwares....! I'm having a problem to use youtube over the phone network with my Nova Plus.
Thanks

guys the MLA varients work with xelfmade's TWRP recovery and roms can be unified to work on all varients

Ota upgrade made with my MLA-L03 to Nougat yesterday and all working great! Used FF to push the update via proxy and changed from C654B140 to C578B302 with stock updated app. Best I've like the phone yet!! Big improvement in every aspect so far.

Buddy,
for us using the MLA-L03 can you explain in details how you did that ? Been waiting for ages to get that OTA update that never comes lol
Thanks in advance

Hallo,

You can try this to update to Nougat: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v73849/f1/full/update.zip Extract all the files and place them in a dload folder then place that on the root of your SD Card and install it using the three button method. If your Build Number is not showing up correctly after installing that install this: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_MLA-L11_hw_eu.zip using the same method as before. If it does not work the first time you may need to flash the stock EMUI 5 Nougat recovery which will let you install Nougat updates, I had to do this for the CAN-L01C432 variant as the update kept stopping at around 40%. EMUI 5 Nougat Recovery: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4T1GJ6EZ3LvTWNpZ0p5YXVINGs It is up to you to try it and I am not trying to make you as I do not have a MLA variant so I do not know if it will work or not. I hope this this helps.

Like I said you may need to flash the stock EMUI 5 Nougat recovery first before any of the Nougat updates work, the big update is the Nougat update and the smaller one is functionality. Let me know how it goes if you try it.

Yes, understand, which build is it and is there no problem to get the official one when i had install it?
If it doesn`t work how to get back to notmal firmware?
I have all my devices rooted , but this one not, there are to less informations about my build, therefore i have no twrp installed.
Im careful, my last device was honor 7, and i have no problem with twrp and root, but more informations.
Download is very slow.
Do you have made the update to nougat, and does it run without bugs?

List of Mate 9 / Mate 9 Pro Latest FIrmwares

Since I spend 12 hours a day working with Huawei firmware, I figured a list may be handy.
Key:
Model and Version
Chinese Model:
MHA-AL00C00B301 (EMUI 5.1, beta)
MHA-AL00C00B203
Meafnaf (Middle East / North Africa) Models
MHA-L29C185B181
LON-L29C185B180
Eu (Europe) Models
MHA-L09C432B182
MHA-L29C432B182
LON-L29C432B185
Spcseas (Asia/Pacific) Models
MHA-L29C636B181
LON-L29C636B182
USA Model
MHA-L29C567B190
Porsche Model
LON-L29C721B185
Generic Model
MHA-L09C900B186
MHA-L29C900B186
LON-L29C900B187
Note: It's not possible to tell how new a firmware is based only on its build number. For example, MHA-L29C567B183 has a very high build number, but it's much older than MHA-L29C636B181

Any chance to include the PD version in this list?
Anyways, it's depressing to see they are developing indeed, but they are struggling so hard at keeping a decent official release pace. I mean, pretty much everything is unauthenticated, or if it is it still takes ages to become available. If it wasn't for Firmware Finder, I'd still be stuck at a 4 months old firmware on my PD, without 10x zoom, all the camera tweaks which were applied later and so on, how can this be possible?!

Ok, added it.
Actually, Huawei is very active with development, but not active with public releases/authentication. Basically, the rollout cycle is:
Build, upload for internal use (usually day after build), upload publicly, release to some devices, release to all devices.
With the Porsche Design Mate 9, they actually had a build 156, but they never ended up uploading it or releasing it publicly, and just jumped to 174, then 180, without publicly releasing them. It is strange, indeed, but the Porsche tends to get updates fast enough, internally, at least. I feel most sorry for the LON-L29C432 users, really, because they seem to get the updates last.

Well,
MHA-L29C567B183 <-- old
MHA-L29C636B180 <-- newer
Somehow that makes sense. At first, your statement scared me a bit ("wtf are they doing?").
Let's see what comes next. I personally am sick and tired of flashing. Bricked more than one phone (although Samsungs); I'll be waiting quietly here until they release whatever they want to release.
Ooommmmh

I have LON-C432 and you are right that this model gets update last of them all and that realy sucks. Is it possible to debrand it to PD if we flash oeminfo on it?

Yes, it's possible. The best branding isn't PD, though. It's probably LON-L29C636 which gets fastest updates.

Of course there are benefits, but it's impossible to know exactly what they are. I know the kernel is newly built and the security patches are more recent. Otherwise, seems to be mainly power management/performance-related, but the changelogs are so vague, so it's up to fate whether or not you feel an actual substantial change. Not many people have tried it at this point.
If you want the files, just use HiSuite to try and install the update. The files will be downloaded to your Documents\HiSuite folder. If you're rooted, it's possible the HiSuite update might fail, but you'll get the files.

Do you notice any difference with battery drain?

Using Firmware Finder I found newer ROMs than my current 158. What's the difference between FullOTA-MF and OTA-MF? I know one is huge but which do i download to upgrade please?
I am thinking to upgrade to 172 as 180 has no FullOTA file.

And which one is best to download of the three? It's very confusing. I did all this fine on my Mate 8 but now i forget. Thanks.

Firmware Finder will only work on older releases which are signed by Huawei. When a new release is found, Huawei won't be signing it for your device for a few weeks in most cases. You'll have to use a different method if you want to install 180.

Ota vky-l09c432

Which is the last official OTA checking from update system for this model VKY-L09C432?
I have had only the OTA 123. But I see with ff also 125 and 130 but not from system update.
Thanks

Updates seem to be pushed by location. If youre outside of the intended c432 area, you might be waiting awhile. You could try VPN, or there is always funky Huawei

Which region / location are you in?
Just Unboxed my unbranded P10+ , and out of the box its on 120.. but no b130 OTA.. ... Im in UK, which is c432 region.. but as Goranock pointed out.. Huawei do OTA via location..
You could try downloadiong Huawei's HiSuite and trying an update
Im a little cautious about manually flashing Hauwei roms... I used to have a P9, but flashing a stock C432 Rom on a stock C432 device changed it to a C900.. which renders it useless to Stock OTAs and Android Pay.. according to some XDA modders.. the C900 on the P9 was a test / safe mode rom.. not a consumer rom,, so be careful .. although I cant say what the P10+ would do, but Im net messing with any Hauwei roms.. Ive even read of folk flashing a stock rom.. and bricking their P9.... just a word of caution
Hope UK gets it soon

I am a bit puzzled that the updates are not more of an issue here. I think it's really annoying that currently there seem to be no other ways for manually initiating the update than to use (the way too expensive) funkyhuawei or to unlock bootloader. Did anyone manage to successfully initiate an update by using a VPN and if so what location do I use to do so?

Yes, thank you, I know about that way though but the thing is I dont want to even have to unlock the bootloader in the first place, even if it ends up being locked/relocked afterwards. Personally that's just too much of a hassle just to install updates in my book. But since you said you are from Italy and you obviously already have received the update I'm gonna try and use an Italian VPN to try and see if I can at least upgrade to B123 then. Even though I feel that's a bit ridiculous now that not only B130 but also B133 seems to be out already. By the speed they are distributing their updates OTA I'm probably not gonna till B133 by autumn or something...
Edit: nope, tried several European countries, obviously VPN doesn't help...

Just wondering : what's the changelog for B133 ?
Pretty new to Huawei's firmware here... on the russian FF site I don't see it.

That depends on what variant you have, the official Oreo is out for the AL00, C636, and C432 regions, it's not out for the rest of us yet. You can rebrand to a C432 variant and install the European version (C432), or one of the others. Otherwise you'll have to wait on the official version to come out for your region

I am in Europe (Greece) L29 C432 B198 and Oreo is not available yet..........

Use FF to update. It doesn't need any rooting, unlocking and so on.

What is use FF?
Btw.. I noticed that.. After upgraded my mate 9 to oreo through OTA... There's something missing.
1: Vulkan api no longer supported.
Performance issues.
1: 3D mark scores with Oreo are worse than Nougat.
2: 2k and 4k downloaded videos and movies, lagging and stuttering while playing.. Especially with 60fps ( idk.. Perhaps 3rd app not optimised for oreo)
And i didn't face any of this problem with Nougat.
Btw.. I love the EMUI 8..

There isn't an Oreo update on FF for C432 or C636

You should have added a model (MHA-L29) in FF. Usually you will find your model in parentheses; MHA-L29 8.0.0.361 (C636), for example. You'd better check firmware access before any updating or downgrading.

Yes, after upgraded to emui8, i found my mate 9 is terribly hang and lots of the apps crashed or spent more than 3mins just for ran it.
The interface is nice but the phone is too slow or taken too much of time to load.

Had the same and was steadily getting worse. Had emails not displaying, apps not opening etc.... Few days ago i wiped data and factory reset and so far its blisteringly fast once more and zero issues. Probably worth doing that for you.

Thanks, I wonder why they changed the naming convention.

My OTA update came in yesterday. Several important (to me) apps stopped working. I need to go back.
I'm not experienced with Huawei methods, so I need some pretty specific instructions to go back on US version. If anyone can point me to that it would be appreciated.
I am tempted to wipe and reload apps, but I have so much setup to do with that, I hate to take that time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the two main apps I want working and they just won't work.
