My Huawei P8 has some blue clouding on the screen and I want to get it repaired. How can I find out what region the phone is originally from? Huawei USA support didn't understand the question and they said they cannot service the phone. It's a GRA-L09 I think from Latin America, but I don't know exactly where.

In that case, your phone is actually a GRA-UL10 or CL10 (not L09) - as only this model has the premium spec (64Gb storage) & dual-SIM capability.
My guess is that someone may have installed a GRA-L09 (single-SIM) firmware/rom on your phone, which would also explain the lack of dual-SIM settings. Contact the previous owner & ask about this.
What model is mentioned on the rear bottom of your phone in tiny text? And what's the full firmware build number in Settings > About phone? It will be in this format: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.
Edit: Ok, what I said before may not be entirely true, as I've since found 2 instances of the L09 model with 64Gb storage + Kirin 935, & for both there's only single-SIM support mentioned:

From all the info you've given so far, my guess now is that you have an International version, but with a single-SIM European firmware installed (HERE's an example of a GRA-L09 dual-SIM firmware, so it does exist).
Where did you buy the phone from? Which country or region? If you bought it secondhand, where did your seller buy it from brand new?
What was the previous / original firmware installed before you updated to your present C432B392?
What was the original firmware that came with the brand new phone? Do you remember, or can you find out from the original buyer?

Looks like you (or the previous owner) installed a firmware version that's different to the region meant for your phone - like in these 2 examples:
Help resting P8 back to complete stock, recovery, system etc.
Need a kind soul to help!
What is the model number/code mentioned in tiny text on the rear bottom of the phone? It will be in this format: GRA-xxxx.
What is the full 'Build number' mentioned in Settings > About phone? It will be in this format or similar: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.

That looks fine, although normally it would be GRA-L09 & GRA-L09C469B190.
If it is as I say, which country are you from, or which country did you purchase the phone from? Also, is the phone vendor/network branded?

Usually, on network-branded phones, the company's logo will be visible during bootup. Also, there may be Entel-related apps installed.
Are you wanting to update your phone's software from Lollipop (Android 5) to Marshmallow (Android 6)?
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.

So I want to kind of start this discussion and work on a fix. Ideally a fix without root, if it's possible.
According to the Chinese forums, the Chinese version (which I'm getting because I want 128GB of storage) has been altered as of version B115 to not include the necessary GMS framework to allow installation of google services, play store, and so on.
Previous versions (some Chinese models shipped with B109) included the ability to load Google Services.
The first step in fixing this for people whose phones ship with more recent firmware is to find a full package of B109. The only other option will be bootloader unlock and flashing of either international firmware or google play services after unlocking the bootloader.
My phone will arrive here in Japan tomorrow, so I will work on reverse engineering the update server like I did with Mate 8, and keep everyone up to date with any progress. Does anyone else have plans to buy the Chinese version? Please feel free to chime in!
UPDATE!!
As of December, Huawei has released a package to install google services on the Mate 9. Simply search the HiApp store for GMS and get the first result.
Couldn't just install a international from through the update?
So your saying if I purchase this from a Chinese online mobile store I wont be able to get google play store on it im in need of a new phone so bad and wanted this

You will be able to get Google Play store on it IF your phone ships with version B109 or earlier. Apparently this is rare. Otherwise, you will not be able to without unlocking your bootloader, at this time. My phone is supposed to arrive today, so I will be a guinea pig and figure out what needs to be done, as obviously it's useless to me without Google Play.
I have bought Chinese huawei mate 9 too. And it doesn't have google. If anyone knows the solution please help

Good! We work together again, like the old days!
Do you have the international one now? Can you use wireshark and find out the http query from eRecovery to get the location to the latest firmware?
For example, you can get latest Mate 8 AL10 firmware like this:
Code:
curl -d '{"rules":{"D_version":"","DeviceName":"HUAWEI NXT-AL10","saleinfo":"||||||||N","IMEI":"","FingerPrint":"","FirmWare":"HUAWEI NXT-AL10-all-cn","IMSI":"","C_version":"","OS":"","HotaVersion":"e.0.1","Language":"","devicetoken":"","PackageType":"full"}}' http://query.hicloud.com:80/sp_ard_common/v2/Check.action?latest=True

I also bought same version. Do you currently have European version in your hands? I think it might be possible to use some tricks to write European firmware onto Chinese version.

Now this is very confusing. I ordered the 4/64GB version from aliexpress. All of the descriptions (of all sellers) on ali clearly highlights all the network features and bands that are only supported by the european model of Mate9, called "MHA-L29". Huawei's official specs clearly say MHA-L29 is dual-sim supported and MHA-L09 (=chinese version) is not.
I asked the seller and after 3-4 questions he finally replied it's the chinese version (of course) but tried to convince me that it will work with google play because every huawei phone they sell can work with play.
I can't risk it to have a phone that I have to mod to use play, and I can't expect the firmware updates easily without any problem/risk.
I cancelled the order, asked a few other sellers they all have the chinese version. It seems I can't get the european version with a lower price I have to wait till the phone launches here, and it will be much more expensive.
What is your opinion how difficult will it be to update the firmware with sufficient google services by tricks on the chinese models? Would you recommend it to a noob like me(I unlocked bootloaders and stuff but I can only follow specific directions) to have the chinese model backed by a worthless warranty?

I think it will be possible to do with specific directions, probably within a month -- hopefully sooner. I also think it's possible that Huawei re-introduces the ability to install Google services into a future update, because the outcry from the Chinese community is huge.
Once I find the way to do it, I will make as easy-to-follow guide as I can, but I can't promise anything! It might be very difficult if it's too different from the Mate 8.
My advice to you is to wait until a solution has been found before buying the Chinese version.

Thanks, I'm gonna wait a little more then. I cancelled my order before shipment so they must refund me without any problem. There will be a 130-150 USD difference comparing the chinese version to prices in my country. I'm hesitating to either wait for this phone or buy the OnePlus 3T on the 28th of november, but I really like the Mate9.
A best solution could be to completely trasform chinese into european. With european rom, european modem and other features like sar reduction : do you remember that mate 8 EU had a string "sar reduction yes" that in chinese there wasn't?
Do you think that is possibile to convert At 100% chinese in european? (with unlock bootloader)
We can work At this?

Customs delayed my phone's delivery to Monday, so I can't really say without looking at how it works, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't be possible to convert the Chinese version to the european one as long as we have an unlocked bootloader or root.

Hi, i bought P10 lite october 2017 and after turning on, phone received an firmware update B183.
Since then, phone is not receiveing any other system updates so its current version is: WAS-LX1C432B183, while other WAS-LX1 phones received newer firmware updates.
Any possible solution or ideas about solving this problem, please?
I too seem to be getting no updates either - although I'm 'lucky' enough to be on WAS-LX1AC432B187 even though in another thread here other people are up to B209/B210
I originally suspect it may be all down to Country / Operator / Network ....
Certain Operators (especially in UK) are VPN's that 'rent' airwaves from the main companies (Vodafone/O2/3/EE) & I suspect that when a new firmware is released (by Huawei for example), the big companies then have to modify these to include their bloatware to distribute it > then the VPN's may get their hands on the firmware & add their bloatware before distributing the updates..
Considering my operator is ASDA Mobile, who 'rents' from EE - I suspect EE hasn't passed on the modified firmware to ASDA to distribute (of course I may be totally wrong on how firmwares are distributed)
I admit I have been VERY tempted to attempt Firmwarefinder app to update to a newer firmware (not necessary BETA Oreo), but a little scared as there's SOOooo many firmware updates for my phone & like everything 'new' & never used before - I'm scared I may brick my phone (I can't afford to buy a new £200 each time I bugger something up)
I'm not sure if I can go from B187 straight to B209 (or B210)..
... or do I have to do it in steps (B187/B188 etc)..
.... or do I use the the OTA-MF or the FullOTA-MF version..
.... and why is there a B209 firmware (dated 2018.04.08) that 'newer' than a B210 (dated 2018.04.27) for the same phone

New updates are based on IMEI numbers, operators and country, its true, its weird how you guys didnt receive any updates yet, but after the update is available for your IMEI, operators must distribute update to customers. Was-lx1a, not only oreo beta, official oreo update should be available for your phone, like in Germany, Spain or other countries, they all receive it, B209, B210 are updates for P10 lite, b209 is for single sim model, b210 is for dual sim variant, and dual sim variant receive it after single sim, its the same update, thats only difference. My advise for you is to contact huawei support and maybe they could push updates for your phones through hicare app or somehow.
Greetings

Was-lx1a, not only oreo beta, official oreo update should be available for your phone, like in Germany, Spain or other countries, they all receive it, B209, B210 are updates for P10 lite, b209 is for single sim model, b210 is for dual sim variant, and dual sim variant receive it after single sim, its the same update, thats only difference. My advise for you is to contact huawei support and maybe they could push updates for your phones through hicare app or somehow.

I did factory reset on P10 lite last night and nothing happened, still no firmware update found. My phone is factory unlocked, bought from T-mobile partner in my country, and i'm using it on another telecom provider VIP (vodafone member)

I need to make an observation.
In my daily life i check 2 different P10 Lite phones for updates (both are locked in Vodafone).
So... about the updates, i observed that the availability of the updates is limited to few days, maybe a week. I actually updates one P10 lite and had no time to update the second one. After a week when i tried to update the second phone, the update info in the Update App was there as red text, but it disappeared when i tried to apply it. So i had to wait for the next update to bring both phones to the same version.
So, ya.. try to talk to Huawei using whatever chat system its available to you.

You dont need factory reset on phone, just contact their support in your country. At least, try to do that, I heard they have really bad support.

I tried to call their support in Macedonia, its almost impossible to contact them so i'm trying to find a solution by myself. I still have more then 1 year warranty

If you want oreo on your phone try to use hwota method, you will have to unlock bootloader and after you finish you can relock it again. Im not sure if you will lose varanty, more about this method you can read here on xda, just scrool down
WAS-LX1AC432B179 here.
Spoke to an operator today via HiCare / Live chat
"All devices in the UK are scheduled to receive it in the following 8 weeks maximum."
"The update is sent in batches for a certain number of devices and another one and so on."
"I cannot specify an exact date when you will receive it I'm afraid."
8 weeks, how slow they are.
Im not in the UK, but... Who knows, maybe 8 weeks for me either
It isn't uncommon for an update to roll out over several weeks. What's stupid is that you can't force the update yourself with whatever risk it entails.
Hmm, 8 weeks..... guess I'll have to see if I get it or not, before I reconsider doing the Firmwarefinder route
I contacted them recently regarding the Oreo update and they said i should receive the update before the end of July, if not then contact them again

I too seem to be getting no updates either - although I'm 'lucky' enough to be on WAS-LX1AC432B187 even though in another thread here other people are up to B209/B210
I originally suspect it may be all down to Country / Operator / Network ....
Certain Operators (especially in UK) are VPN's that 'rent' airwaves from the main companies (Vodafone/O2/3/EE) & I suspect that when a new firmware is released (by Huawei for example), the big companies then have to modify these to include their bloatware to distribute it > then the VPN's may get their hands on the firmware & add their bloatware before distributing the updates..
Considering my operator is ASDA Mobile, who 'rents' from EE - I suspect EE hasn't passed on the modified firmware to ASDA to distribute (of course I may be totally wrong on how firmwares are distributed)
I admit I have been VERY tempted to attempt Firmwarefinder app to update to a newer firmware (not necessary BETA Oreo), but a little scared as there's SOOooo many firmware updates for my phone & like everything 'new' & never used before - I'm scared I may brick my phone (I can't afford to buy a new £200 each time I bugger something up)
I'm not sure if I can go from B187 straight to B209 (or B210)..
... or do I have to do it in steps (B187/B188 etc)..
.... or do I use the the OTA-MF or the FullOTA-MF version..
.... and why is there a B209 firmware (dated 2018.04.08) that 'newer' than a B210 (dated 2018.04.27) for the same phone

I know your pain - Most carrier networks need to receive a Firmware Approval before rolling it out across their network. It is also likely that it is based of your IMEI Number as well, since that is what Huawei uses to check to see if you are eligible for an update.
I am originally from the UK (O2-UK) that was (at the time) stuck on WAS-LX1AC432B173, now living in Belgium (Proximus/Belgacom) on WAS-LX1AC432B209.
I would highly recommend the Firmware Finder app for using it to update. it allows you to tap on a Firmware and check in advance of updating, wether not not you can (Check Firmware Access -> Check Availability -> Allow it to use your phone for reading IMEI, and it will let you know if its is Approxed for installation, or Not Approved.).
To answer your questions:
NOTE: All of this is from my own experience with Upgrading using Firmware Finder. Highly Recommending making a backup using HiSuite to back up your phone before continuing.
1. You will probably need to do it in steps. B187 -> B191 -> B193 -> B197 -> B203 -> B207 -> B209
2. Always use the FullOTA-MF Versions.
3. Probably for the different variants (Single Sim vrs Dual Sim) like Umri Muki already said.
Hope this helped at all

Thanxs for the feedback.. I think i'll still wait the 8weeks b4 considering...
1 more question (open to all)... How will I know which of these is for single SIM & which is for Dual ?
Both show up as 'approved for installation' & to be honest I'm not 100% sure whether my phone is Single or Dual SIM anyway (brought of Amazon UK so I assume its the European/UK Single SIM model)
I THINK it's single since under Settings > About phone there's only 1 IMEI number shown & I did read that a Dual SIM would show 2 IMEI numbers (or am I mistaken)

Had been stuck on B187 for months, but decided to give Firmware Finder method a go as above, downloading the FullOTA-MF of B191 using the DNS VPN method. Had a few problems with download errors but found another post here that suggested uninstalling any updates to the 'System Update' app. That seemed to work and update started downloading VERY SLOWLY. Left it overnight and finally got the update to install after a couple of reboots. Once B191 was on, phone seems to be able to pick other updates automatically. Has picked up B193 itself and now is just installing B197. Hopefully, it will get to B209.
Phone is a SIM Free UK version bought from Carphone Warehouse.
WAS-LX1AC432Bxxx
Update -- seems to have stopped an B197 so will try B203 via Firmware Finder

Had a look - but that post isn't for my phone
My phone is a 'WAS-LX1A' while that post refers to L01, L21, L21A & L01A
Further checking & I find posts like
Huawei P10 lite Model No: WAS-LX1 is BUILT as a single SIM device

It can be either one. You will only be able to check if you have a single sim, or dual sim device, by checking if you have one, or two, IMEI numbers in Settings > About phone.

So at least I'm 90% sure I have a single sim phone BUT there's post that state I COULD make it Dual sim if I wanted

you sure? then what is the X is LX1A for? 0 for single sim and 2 for dual sim. so L01A is single sim and L21A is dual sim.

Your post makes no sense. You're asking about a950u which is us model. Your pic is of a 950f European model.

yes, but that's the fact, on the pcb it says g950u, and the chipset is detected on PC qualcom, but the cellphone information says g950f and when dial * # 1234 # shows the results like this
but if I use the dial code * # 12580 * 369 # it will address the results like this
then when I use the 'phone info' application the results are like this
So its a950 u. With 950f stuff on it. Probably unlocked and setup to run on a international carrier. The bootloader version of the important one. And what i would go off of
and this test results from 'miracle thunder' addressed the results as shown below
like this
I blinked using the G950u and G950u1 all failed, luckily my cellphone didn't bootloop,

so it's best if I want to upgrade to the latest firmware but don't make this phone back washed, how to do it, and what should I do
I tried to flash using the G950U SQU2CRB 9 oreo firmware, but it failed, so which should I use which firmware to upgrade?

I dont really know. Some one had it customized to a non us carrier. So other than downloading the latest firmware you can find on sam mobile and try but it may mess with what ever carrier its setup to use
