P9 Lite debranding question.

Hi Devs, I have question to debranding VNS-L21.
I wanted to make everything from video using SRK Tool (by droidth) just using P9 choices (did nothing from oeminfo.img and custom.bin part).
All I did:
- Firstly rollbacked from 7.0 to 6.0 (went on 7.0 without debranding)
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Installed TWRP (as I said before from SRK Tool - P9 choice)
- Rooted
// Wanted to put screenshot here from "About phone" to present how it looks like but trust me - I have VNS-L21C900B161
And here is my question: If verlist.img of VNS-L21C432B161 don't have that name of version (I wanted to flash with changing build.prop parameter) so do I need to proceed changing build.prop parameter? Will it work, won't it get bricked? If so, how can I debrand my phone?
Additional infos:
- My branded compilation was VNS-L21C09B131.
- Then I got on the Android 7.0 using proxy.
- Why I want to debrand? Because of OTA Updates.
If you know the solution please reply! Sorry for my bad english too!
Cheers!

Google Services don't work - Huawei P9 Lite

Hello everyone, I have a problem with a Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31 .
The Google Services don't work: when I open a Google app (i.e. Google Play) the Google Login screen appears and disappears quickly, so, I can't login to Google.
This phone runs Android 6.0 with EMUI 4.0, with serial number VNS-L31C900B170... about this SN I read that the problem is this version of the stock ROM that "blocks" the Google Services and can't update to Android Nougat.
I tried to unlock the bootloader by using DC-Unlocker (because the Huawei's official service for the bootloader code shutted down) but I had a problem with the credits payment, so I can't unlock the bootloader now. I had tried to install some firmwares that suggest Firmware Finder 9.5 with the software updater, but none of the suggested firmware had work.
So, in this thread I want to ask if there are a way to install a "normal" firmware (like the C432, that is the european firmware) without unlocking bootloader or unlock bootloader without using DC-unlocker.

I'm having the same problem, somebody can help us?

Guys I would like you could recover the full functionality of your device ...
but I wondered how you did to have that firmware ( global firmware/C900 ).
In order to solve those problems you need to know the model L31 / L21, single / dual SIM and firmware in use before you had C900 firmware, branded/unbranded included in which region you live, because it also depends on this. Answer me these infos...
I suggest you take a look at the UNIFIED HELP THREAD for aid.
Look at post #6 ...
I can try to help you, better ask or re-read before doing.
Happy Holidays

The program that the post suggests don't work: first of all, the program don't read the bootloader code and for this opens the old website for requesting the unlock code, that is disabled. So it's completely useless. Ah, the program doesn't recognize my device, after enabling usb debug, installed hisuite and enabled manufacture mode (adb recognised it, the program not). So, are you sure that the program is a crap?

Don't know what you're talking about.
Link i posted you talks about update via dload folder AKA three button method.
If you refer to DC-UNLOCKER app and still interested in unlock bootloader read this post,
i will suggest to read the entire thread, then decide.
In any case the device is yours and you can choose what's right for you...
Good luck

Hello dear,
I don't know if the 'demo' version can be unlocked (bootloader code),
but if yes then you can use @k1ll3r8e's TOOLKIT to rebrand to another region (cust)
like C432 european or C636 asian, etc... you just need the correct files.
Once you rebranded then will be possible to upgrade to nougat via Firmware Finder app
or some other tool/script.
P.S.: What version of p9 lite do you have ? L21-L22-L23-L31-L53 ?
Cheers

Well, i think you can rebrand to the european firmware (C432);
both single and dual sim oeminfo files and matching firmwares (B160&B161) available. (see the attachments below)
But, like a told, you need to unlock the bootloader first.
P.S.: you already risked to brick the device trying by your own,
using the toolkit and doing something wrong could turn the device in a paperweight....beware what you do with your device !!!

Dear friend,
I agree with you and completely opposed to paying, but
I believe there are no other ways than giving up a couple of beers and
using DC-UNLOCKER which at the cost of 4 euro reads the bootloader code.
Obviously you only know if it's worth it and definitely remains your choice.
For everything you should / want to do there's a guide you just have to follow.
If you encounter any problems or are unsure about how to do,
you can always meet the community or me in this topic.
I wish you the best !!

P10 Lite (WAS-TL10) Stock ROM files

Hello all,
I'm looking for the stock rom (EMUI 5.0/Android 7.0) firmware files for my newly acquired P10 Lite (WAS-TL10).
Bought it at AliExpress, was supposed to ship with Android 7.0, but got Android 8.0 on it.
Unfortunately I need Android 7 for the sole purpose of verifying some Huawei allegations in which they pretend my app is not working properly with HMS Core version lower than 2.5.3! A version you can't find anywhere on any devices, but those Huawei phones running Android 7.0!
I say they pretend because they've made-up all kind of new rules for the past months to just prevent my apps from being published in China, as explained here: https://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/2784
Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the only Android 7 Stock firmware I could find:
Huawei P10 Lite Dual

Thanks but the download link doesn't work at all. I've found hundredth of such links but none works. This one ends-up with 'an error occured'.
Is it the same for you or are you able to download the file?

I'm sorry, I should've checked the link first, it seems like these files were removed from Huawei servers, however, there's AFH which, luckily, has the nougat firmware.

Try to downgrade to Nougat using Hisuite (official and safe way to do the downgrade). A7 firmware will not help you, there's no way downgrade (with locked bootloader) . Try chinese Hisuite :
https://mega.nz/file/1p9xyIRL#bx1M6zXqtrR38okQd4YqkYvmLfRaOBDJ2snjd8W7kqk
If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version" or "Earlier version"), you must downgrade to the lower Oreo build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM for your model and region).

Hi...
Like @-Alf- said you can try it this way. If it doesn't work for you. Search this forum for Service Rom to downgrade from emui 8 to emui 5. But be carefully by using any method. Make a full Backup of your System before doing any change. If you will downgrade to emui 5 for unlocking the bootloader. Better think about to use the Dc-unlocker for that. It will cost 4€ to get the unlock code. But its without risk to brick your device and it doesn't waste time to get it. You need to choose wat is more important for you.
So good luck

Thanks all, I was able to downgrade to EMUI 5.1, which allowed me testing very old HMS Core (2.5.2) somehow and its upgrade mechanism. Not sure I needed that device as it seems EMUI 5.1 didn't come with AppGallery at all, LOL.
Now I'd like to upgrade back to sell the device, but I haven't found a way to do so... Hi Suite tells me device is up-to-date, and OS system update tells me the same

Build number is WAS-TL10C636B187
I found a firmware, but it doesn't seem compatible ( Warsaw-TL10HK 8.0.0.371(C636)_Firmware_8.0.0_r1_EMUI8.0_05014HTC ) because upgrade says there is no update file on SD when I put the dload folder on it.
EDIT: That firmware contained zip files instead of .app, so I extracted the .app files and recreated the expected structure, and it processed the update using OS menu ( *#*#2846579#*#* ).
If any-one need the modified file, let me know.

No idea what that is lol.
After modifying the dload folder to have .app files (instead of .zip), the phone took the upgrade (editing previous post). New build number is WAS-TL10 8.0.0.371(C636).
I can now upgrade/downgrade between Android 7 and 8 for testing. That's pretty useful, so thanks to all.

WARSAW is the Name of the Phone...an p8 lite 2017 is called Prague or an Samsung S6 Edge is called zerolte
If you try to flash a firmware with another Region like C432 for Europa on a Device with C636 Asian Region...the verifying of the Update Package will not pass and update proceed will abort.
If you want to change the Region of the Device you need to use HWOTA Method for that...in the Script during configuration comes the Question to change firmware or to change location.
But be carefull by changing the Region cause the Devices for the different Regions could have different hardware integrate. Hardware like modem and so^^

OK thank you, i think modified firmware provided by 3c will work on my device as is has the same code of region c636 and the firmware flashed on my device is Asian pacific (c636)

Jfyi, the Huawei update server is down since February, so Firmware Finder is dead. Therefore, it is also not possible to use HwOTA or HuRupdater (unless someone has the necessary files stored on the disk).

Update P9 Lite from Android 6 to 7

Hello everyone, I have a P9 Lite which was issued from Vodafone Europe (originally VNS-L21C02B128), and I'd like to update it to Android 7.
Since none of the stock ROMs I tried would pass the verification when updating via the Project Menu, I found and flashed a newer Android 6 which works fine apparently - build number is currently VNS-L21C900B170.
Trouble is all of the newer ROMs are still not working. During the verification phase, it says they are not compatible with the phone.
Any ideas what is the simplest safest way to get to Android 7 ? Thanks for the help.

- Unlock the bootloader
- on android 6 rebrand to C432 global
- in TWRP install fullOTA-MF-PV VNS-L21C432B370
- then you can upgrade to a higher version by installing a Service ROM via dload method (it will lock your BL again).
The problem is probably with your current build number - the C900 is fake firmware, incomplete or incompatible. I'm afraid you won't be able to unlock the bootloader or rebrand the phone with this build.

Hello Alf, I did try VNS-L21C02B346 but it didn't work, both with the original and the newer ROM. I also tried the "SERVICE Full Repair VNS-L21 C432B381" from here, also with no luck.
The current B170 ROM was labeled as "VNS-L21C432B170" on the site I got it from, but now it shows as C900. This one updated with no problems via the Project Menu upgrade command, the only one to work so far...
I will see later about unlocking the bootloader thanks.

You can't install C432 on C02 and vice versa without changing oeminfo, that's why you now have a C900 region and failed verification.

Thanks but I don't know hot to change oeminfo. Can I use SRK Tool ?
Also is there a free way to unlock the bootloader ? Is it this one ?
Does the phone have to be dissasembled, or is there a software method as well ?
Is dc-unlocker free for phones with android 6 and 7 ?
