Hi, I've to rollback my mate 10 pro to branded TIM firmware with Funky Huawei.
When it ask for region code I don't know what to enter. The firmware should be C55 Tim Italia, but I've tried typing tim/it but without success.
What code I've to write as region?
Thanks!

Just C55 if that's the cust you have selected.
Hi, Funky Huawey wrote the region to use for C55 Tim Italia:
"Yes, the C55 is branded:
BLA-L09 for device
ti/it for branding."
This evening I'll try and I'll report you... :fingers-crossed:

Yes, the region code for TIM is C55, but first tell us which firmware version are you on?
If you are on a recent firmware that blocked the backdoor that FH was using, then most likely you are stuck with your current cust (c432 or whatever you rebranded to from C55).

Yes you're right, I got error on rebranding (losing 5 credits for nothing...) and I've tried also with erecovery method without success...maybe shoud I downgrade to a previous firmware allowing backdoor?
Anyway I've written to FW to get support...:fingers-crossed:

I've hw/eu on .150 (was .148 after rebranding).
Ok, I'ts impossible to use FW on firmware > .142, for the backdoor for the magic have been patched since .145 forward.
I've tried any knowleged for downgrade: FW, eRecovery, Project Menu (update.app in dload on external disk), but nope
So, I'll keep my BLA-L09 as BLA-L29, and it's good because I've also an Iliad sim with a lot of gigas per month
The phone It's also well working (using since Dec' 12, more than 6 months...), hoping for doesn't need support in future... :fingers-crossed:

Hello,
can someone here tell what kind of Honor 5X I have .
My Honor 5X has the build number KIW - L21C900B120 .
What does the number?
I ask this because I no update will be offered to marshmallow.
Many thanks for your help.
Where do you live, and where have you bought it ?
KIW-L21 is Europe version
C900 is the code number of the cust (custom) partition
B120 is the build number of the ROM. KIW-L21 C432 is on B130 out of the box.
You can maybe flash it to make it a C432, then you can update easily to b330, but you have to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash TWRP.
edit: found it: https://mobilenet.cz/katalog/honor-5x/specifikace
It seems to be the Czech version.
Two choices:
- Wait for MM update
- Flash it with a C432 ROM/TWRP backup.

I'm from Austria and I got the update to B330 (Marshmallow 6.0.1) via the "early adopter"-option in the HiCare-App. I don't know if it is possible to update from B120 directly to B330 because there was at least B130 in between for the KIW-L21.
MM update on Honor 5X
Hello,
I´ve got the same problem with my 5X. I won the phone and have the firmware version L21C900B120. Has anyone already updated this version successfully to Android 6?
I talked to the Honor support, but they´re trying to convince me, that this is a special version which won´t get any updates!? Basically it should be the same Hardware as the C432 - right?
Thanks,
Florian

Normally yes, but it has a special software.
But you can debrand it and flash a fw with updates in the future
I need some help, I have a Mate 10 from China the Al00 version 6gb/128gb version. It came rebranded with AL29 115 (C636) flashed over it. Everything is working fine. When I check Firmware Finder app it shows there are updates available for C636 but these are not approved for installation. However when I check the (C185) update version of the L29 it is approved for my device. So I updated to this version which is L29 8.0.0.119(C185) everything worked fine and when my phone rebooted it was still on L29 8.0.0.115(C636) but the security patch was updated to the latest November one from October. I don't understand what has happened here? WHY HASN'T the build version changed? Why isn't any update version of the C636 not approved for my phone? I would appreciate any help thank you in advance
Interesting I thought about doing this myself, so you probably have the firmware files of .119 but still device details .115. Can you take a screen shot of your syatem/About Phone?
You would need to rebrand your phone I would have thought, currently only funky Huawei can do this from what I've read.
I'm in the same boat, all the C636 firmwares are not authorised currently for my device also. Update.app method doesn't work with out associated hw files and I'm not willing to fastboot the partitions to the device tho should work.

I have checked and I am positive that my phone is rebranded to C636, what I find strange is that others in this forum bought the same phone from the same vendor and it was rebranded by the vendor too. They are also in the UK and they have received an OTA to 119 from 115, I do not understand why this is the case.

Yeah I've the same device from Wandamobile.
I just received the .119 OTA update as of last night. You'll get it very shortly.
Seems to be in line with firmware finder when you check firmware access, as soon as my access was approved on the app I got the OTA.

Thank you very much my friend I appreciate that ?
i have the same problem.. my mate 10 rebrand by itself after i installed a full OTA via firmware finder. my mate 10 was 119(C636) then after i downloaded and installed a firmware 128(636) via firmware finder. it didnt change at all. my mate 10 was still on firmware 119 but the worst it became 119(185) when i try to download a firmware 128(C185) i cannot install it because it was not approved.. but when i try to download a 128(636) all is good but the problem is im still at 119(C185) after the installation..
With regards to firmware versions on mate 10 pro does anyone know what the difference is between (C782) and (C781) ?
The reason is I'm on 115 (C782) and thinking of updating to 125 (C781)
Wonder what would happen if you flashed a firmware on FF which didn't match up. Would it just refuse to flash or would it mess the phone up?
This is exactly my thought. It's saying available to update on a few firmwares on there. I also wonder what would happen if I tried to update it
You would most likely not be able to install. You'd need to flash oeminfo for the firmware you want to install. (you can flash with a nocheck ramdisk but you'd end up bricked.)
Rebrand here if C781 oeminfo is available: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
Else you could rebrand to C432 or C636.
So FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool will be the only way forward to Rebrand. $50 ? I don't think so

The link I posted is free.
I have a Chinese Mediapad M5 and I'm looking to flash European firmware on it so I can access Google Play Store etc. I've seen some call this "rebranding".
Thanks to Apo11on's guides I've been able to unlock and root. I was hoping now I could simply flash a European firmware directly from SD card via download mode but it fails.
Any help would be appreciated.
So I think I've figured out what to do, but I'm unable to do it right now as I'm on the latest W09 C00 B124 build and the inbuilt software upgrade doesn't let you flash older builds.
Step 0: Make sure you aren't running the latest build. There has to be a newer version build for C432.
Step 1: Unlock bootloader
Step 2: Download your current C00 stock rom and extract the RAMDISK. This is a backup just in case.
Step 3: Download matching C432 stock rom for the same build. Extract RAMDISK and flash it. [optional: patch with magisk manager for root]
Step 4: Download newer C432 stock rom. Unzip and place UPDATE.APP in a folder called dload on your sdcard root dir (create this folder if doesn't exist). Update via project settings or download mode.
Does this sound correct?
I am trying to do the same for the SHT AL09 C00 LTE China tablet, I think you need to get the C432 oeminfo to rebrand, so far I know some one has only shared a C636 (Asia Pacific) oeminfo in the root thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/me...-root-guide-huawei-mediapad-m5-t3786157/page3) but it is 4 byte larger than expected.
---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
Can anyone with a C432 (Europe) SHT AL09 LTE model to share their oeminfo, it can be obtained in adb shell as root by command: "dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo.img" AFTER rooting!
Thanks a lot and this will enable us rebrand the Chinese model.

Double post, apologies.
Ok that makes sense. Let's see if we can get C432 oeminfos for all 4 models - please upload if you can according to bear_alex's instructions above! Might help to mention the build number of the rom too.
I will update the first post with a full guide and download links when we have this solved.

this work on all my Huawei/Honor devices (OREO)
This is apparently the link JamesBott tried to post:

Curious if this works - and would this work somehow without adb?
In that link the patched recovery ramdisk is for a Huawei Honor View 10 BKL04 and others say it works on the BKL09. I don't think it's going to work on our Mediapad M5s.

I used the HCU client tool to change my version to EU, but still having problem with the rebrand. How do i get you the oeminfo file?
Does anyone have the oeminfo file for a SHT-W09 C636 (8.4 inch version if that matters)? I'd like to rebrand to Asia Pacific. Thank you!
The NoCheck-Recovery is patched stock-recovery and work (by me) on all Huawei/Honor devices with OREO
All have the same OS, but different build ( Hardware, LTE-Bands ... )
There seems to be no exact guide for rebranding our m5.
Exactly how will you use the oeminfo if you have already obtained it to rebrand?
Is flashing the ramdisk image not enough as written in post #2?
Hello. Does anybody have an oeminfo for Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 Pro CMR-AL19 C432 (European)?
I have CMR-AL19 C00 (Chinese) and want to rebrand it. Tried method from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/mod-oeminfo-structure-t3446382.
Could modify my file, but it didn't work properly. It shows me the region hw/eu instead of all/cn, but it changed firmware version number to 8.0.0.046 (86S) instead of 8.0.0.122 (C00). I could install 8.0.0.122 (C432) on it using Firmware Finder on Android. It failed to finish installation, but after I made a low level factory reset from the recovery menu, it booted. I have all of the international apps, Chinese apps are gone, but I can't update the firmware. So, the method is semi-working. Luckily the IMEI is the same. Will restore everything as it was before to start from scratch.
If anybody needs, my oeminfo is here (Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 Pro CMR-AL19 (C00)) :

Hello,
I've got a chinese version SHT-W09 C00 and i want to rebrand it in the international version.
I think i'll give a try with the method of ravenHeart but i miss the oemfile for my version SHT-W09 C432
Is the country bit in the oemfile the only difference between the chinese and the interntional version?
Could i eventually try with the oemfile file for the 4G version SHT-AL09 or is there a risk of brick?
If somenone could post it, i would be very helpful

With the method I tried you don't need any other oemfile. I took an oemfile from Huawei Mate 10 and Madiapad M5 8.4" just to see as an example, what are the differences between my version and theirs. This script above decompiled all of the content, but you'll be able to modify only text tiles as there are a lot of binary files there, too. And the only thing I did is I changed "all/cn" to "hw/eu" there and compiled it back. So, you need just your own oemfile for it.

You're welcome
Just notice:
The regions for the P10 firmware are limited to Latin America, Argentina und China.
Don't flash the firmware before rebranding your phone! It's also possible that you can't use the mobile network in your country with a firmware from a different region.
The Chinese versions, AL00 and TL00 don't have Google services including play store installed.
So, don't install anything without knowing what you do
I still wait for C432E1R1P8 and try flash to Pie Beta ??*

Do you have to rebrand first? What happens if you don't rebrand before flashing this?
I read that it will make you region C900 but nobody said if C900 is a problem. It's just the international version.
So you could still use the phone on region c900 right?
Possibly single/dual sim will be affected?
I don't know if it works different with pie, but my last information is, that you can't install it. The recover, even the NoCheck version, checks the oeminfo partition first. I also never heard about C900 VTR models, the international version without branding is C432, while this code is for France / Western Europe on older devices.
It can happen, that your phone shows developer version. Then you'll have some problems to rebrand to a real version with pie, because there are no oeminfo files for pie, yet.
If your phone is in developer mode, you're able to use it as normal but you won't be able to update via OTA or even with methods like HWOTA8.
Is it worth to upgrade to Android Pie 9.0 ? Does anybody has some experience with it ? I read somewhere that 9.0 works much more with Ai algorithms. Like prediction, etc. Beside that Ai for OS usability i am more curios if / interested in:
- if it uses less RAM memory
- if it use less battery power
- if it has a performance boost overall
If all of this points are opposite on 9.0 , i don´t see any benefits in it.

What if we rebrand to version C605 which is this 9.0 firmware region then flash the rom.
Theoretically if this is the first firmware available in europe for Pie then we should get an update of final version soon after right?
So won't need to rebrand later and by that time Pie will be full release??
The main concern is to make sure bootloader code does not change during rebranding because then we're stuck.

C605 is for Latin America / Columbia. If they use other network frequencies than Europe and Huawei specified those frequencies in the firmwares than you're not able to use it here.
But yes, you should be able to rebrand to C605 by flashing the correct oeminfo. Rebrand on Oreo first before you update to Pie.
The bootloader code shouldn't change because of rebranding, it's hard coded into the bootloader and Huawei uses serial, model number (not region) and IMEI to make the code, those information won't change.
If you'll get updates while using a phone in a different region as the firmware says, isn't clearly, yet. Huaweis update plitics are a miracle, some guys still stuck on Nougat, some guys are getting the newest updates.
Update manually if you want to be up to date.
