Hello guys! I have a friend that bought a demo version of the mate 9! The build is mha-l29C652B157
I have searched all over the web and realised that only thing i can do is unlock bootloader (I think its not longer an option since official huawei service is gone?) I even searched for funkyhuawei, does not seem to support his version?
Please, and i mean it, can you help me, what can i do to make this phone usable? The retail demo is all over the phone if you leave it one second untouched, how can i do something to this awful firmware? I cant believe someone sold this as a phone to him.

Hi this is my first post here so please be gentle. i did search for this answer but truthfully i'm only new to Android as I've been a Iphone user for years and years. I don't even know the correct 'Android' terminology to search for information but i'm picking it up quickly i think.
Recently I purchased my first Samsung Galaxy S4 and it died an hour later so once i had that replaced I spoke to my telecommunications provider (Telstra Australia) and the guy on the phone was really helpful and he told me to nuke my new phone and get a version of Odin (the open UK version I think) and i wrote down everything he said but unfortunately either my daughter or my girlfriend found a better use for that piece of paper and now I don't know which version he referred to.
Essentially he explained that Telstra has layered it's own software over the top of the Samsung and Android software and that it made it a slower device and also received slower updates (months later) so i thought what he said made good sense.
Can anybody please tell me which version this guy would have been referring to, or at least a good version to run with instead of what I have already?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hey mate, the version of Odin shouldn't matter TOO much. Just get the latest 3.09.
It's only about 9 megs I think.
However, to use it (and avoid voiding your warranty) you will also need an official Samsung rom. Best place to go for that is http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ though their downloads are often slow.
Make sure you get a Samsung version, and not a play version or black version. The Russian version: XXUFNC9 should be fine for your needs.
Flash it as AP and make sure repartition is NOT checked.
You may also need to first install Kies from Samsung (and ensure it's not running in the background when launching Odin) to get the drivers (so that Odin recognises your device).
Post back here if you're stuck at any stage.
I imagine this thread also should be in the Q&A forum. Maybe a mod should move it?
EDIT: Just saw the post above me: Good advice, I assumed you were on a Telstra I9505T or I9505 (as that's the Telstra S4 4G that I have - but best to check your model first).
Great advice from the guy on the phone....
Don't even think about flashing software on your phone if you don't know the basics yet.
Read the forums, learn the basics, read what to do when the flashing fails.
Odin is the program to flash the official roms on your phone. Learn what Knox is, what custom roms are and what custom recovery is.
This forum is flooded by people that screw there phone up because they don't take the time to read the basics. They just follow a guide and then it's help it does not work.
Hi everyone! I need help with my phone model Lenovo a820t.
I want to explain some issues of my phone before make the question.
I bought it 5 days ago in Aliexpress and when I received it I saw that didn't seems like a Lenovo phone, at least doesn't appears the logo neither back or front of the case. I think only the seller put a rom of lenovo inside the phone.
When I saw the features in settings/phone information, it says that is an eight core mtk6592 kernel and I don't see any a820t with mtk6592, every devices I saw are mtk6589.
From here, i've gone crazy looking for a ROM for my phone. I saw many threads but all of them are from months ago and anyone tell nothing about a good and stable rom for this model, everything are problems and nothing reliable.
Anyone knows some site where I can find a rom for this model (lenovo a820T) or anything that could help me please? I'm desperate!!:crying::crying:
I hope you can understand my question.
Of course, thanks for every response, I follow this forum since my first android mobile and there's no site with more information than this to learn.!
My phone is unusual,too.I also have searched for rims.But I even have never seen the phone in the forum.I have clamed down.Just root it,and install 3d-chain are not bad.
Sent from my GT-I9168I using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Let me just say this first, i'm not an idiot and i've done firmware flashing, rooting, etc plenty of times on my old phone before.
I have, as well, spent extensive time researching but came up with mixed results since it seems like this issue is different depending on a number of factors.
Anyhow, s4 broke so i needed a new phone and found a sweet deal on ebay, Huawei p9 lite for 95€, literally nothing better you could get for that price. Its only a couple months old, no scratches, nothing.
There was only one problem.
The camera app doesn't work, whether through the app itself or other apps such as whatsapp, that's why the guy reduced the price so heavily.
Anywho first thing i thought of is "software problem", i'm no expert but it seemed to me that it's a software issue and not a hardware one, and software issuesn are relatively easily fixed.
Another thing to notice is that he bought the phone online and it came in a G9 box.
Google tells me it's a Chinese model.
Oh yeah and the camera app did work, but then he updated the phone and it stopped working.
Anyway i know WHAT to do, flash mm and stay there or update to nougat.
But i don't know how, well i do but every guide seemed a little different and i do not want to risk my phone at all.
I require help in the way of you guys either telling me what to do, or giving me a link to a guide that is suited to my case model number and all.
So here's the relevant info.
Tl;dr:
Help me reflash firmware to get rid of test keys
Model: Huawei VNS-21
Build: NRD90M test-keys
Emui: 5.0
Android: 7.0
Oh yeah when i scroll down in the options and click on certificate i get this illuminati looking triangle with the words "serbia" under it whatever that means, thought that might be important info.
Hello,
Stupid question probably ... so is it possible?
Thanks.
I don't think it's possible, Huawei is one of the most troublesome phone manufacturers there.
Though I said it's troublesome, Personally I think it's one of the most secure ones. Or rather was.
If even an authorized service center can't fix it then I'm sorry to inform you, you have a piece of metal now.
This is the first time I have bought a Chinese device! So far I have been dealing with them. Many models have passed through my hands, and I do not need to list them all. the Poco m3 I found that it takes 7 days to unlock it I imagine the company will have a reason to do something like this, but no matter how much I put my imagination to work I could not find why. Can you explain it to me?
Please read this thread.
I was told to wait for 360 hours (15 days) when I unlocked bootloader of my POCO M3.
It might be because I didn't enable find device on my M3.
I have redmi note 3 pro. Years ago there was no need to wait.
I guess because of avoiding some bad guys to install bad bloat apps in phone then sell it.
It is necessary that providing a new phone and new system inside to customers.
If unlock phone immediately then I can pretend this phone is new easily and you can't figure it out.
