I am new to Huawei. Currently on BLA-L09 8.0.0.125(C34) on Optus(AU). I want to rebrand it to Asia/International version.
The queries I have.
01. Can someone please point me to the right Zone Code (i.e. C34) which I should be using?
02. Is it safe to use ROM's for L29 in L09 set and change the Zone? (i.e. rebrand with L29 Asia/International ROM)
03. If I use a L29 Asia/International ROM and purchase a Dual Sim tray, does both the sim slot works?
Thanks in advance.
This thread is relevant to my interests (I also have a pro w/Optus).
I emailed the good guys at Funky Huawei. They pointed to me that, I need to change to C636. In settings, I can see two SIM support is now enabled. Ordered a dual SIM tray, once I get them delivered, I hope they do work. However, the only thing I am missing is the VoLTE support. The option is not in the settings anymore. I wont certainly wont miss the option much but still trying to find a way. Apart from that, the ROM is smooth.
where did you order the dual sim tray?

Did you have to pay for the firmware and/or installation tool(s) from funky or did you do it some other way?

Unfortunately I cannot take credit for that. I paid and followed instructions with FH.

That's cool, how did you find the process? Easy enough? How much did you pay? What was your motivation to change your firmware? I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions

I did it because I needed the dual sim support that wasn't present with the firmware I was using.
The process honestly it's pretty straightforward, I can't complain.
Look like there no hope of having a lineage OS for our mate 10. It has been so long and no developer had build any of it.
I am also looking into rebranding.
Did you check with FH guys about support for Optus VoLTE???
I tried to flash firmware from Huawei frimware finder and bricked my Mate 10 pro. Is there any way I can fix it by flashing the stock firmware again?
I also have a m8 10 pro with optus. Thinking of doing this too hows reception any changes? Also does the AI still work i hear if you root then it gets disabled could you confirm it still works?

You don't need root to rebrand using FH tool.
Upon re branding I have lost VoLTE on optus. Today I have got the dual sim tray and I can confirm that it works. Using 131 C636 ROM

You could rebrand back to Optus model and have both VoLTE and dual sim. Even if you rebrand to a single-sim branding, FHRebrandTool gives you dual sim. The only caveat is, if you're on a single-sim branding, you can't put a PIN code on your sim card.
I'm I'm c34 and can't even get volte to work. Optus have been useless.
My Sim has volte enabled, as my wife's mate 10 pro has it working wth it.
After hours of 'tech support's and a trip to the useless staff as the store, the only advice I received was "can you come back tomorrow".
Useless.

I've purchased sim-free Mate 10 Pro via CPW in the UK.
I've inserted a 3 sim card and phone reported detected local sim and installed some of the 3 apps and enabled wifi calling.
When I do the following - *#*#2846579#*#* then option 3, then option 4.
It shows as being H3G-GB, so has my phone automatically rebranded itself (and now sim-locked to a network) and if i change provider at later date will a replacement sim work and the branding change
I'm on three, and also noticed that as soon as I put in my three sim it downloaded the three splash screen and a couple of garbage apps that you can't uninstall.
It also does similar (not sure about splash screens) with O2 and Vodafone sims (but not EE)...
I did contact CPW about this and they stated that all their phones are sim free... it just brands itself when a sim is inserted... so I believe (but haven't tried it) that it is not sim locked to three...just branded...
Unfortunately, I do believe that some people have done a factory reset, and the three splash screen remains... so that is a bit of a bummer that you can't get rid of it !!!
If you've got a spare sim, feel free to pop it in and share the results !!!
I will contact huawei later as the phone should not get rebranded in my view - i also don't have another sim to test it with
On EE is detects the EE Sim and restarts. Installs the EE app but nothing more. It is awful that it rebrands to Three.
I've logged this with Huawei, i've got an email to send some screenshots and confirmation of purchase to them. the phone should not rebrand itself to the first sim - this i think is a huawei issue as the cpw cannot sell any three product

just an update, someone states they have just purchased the phone from CPW and inserted a 3 sim and it has not been rebranded. I have had a live chat with CPW regarding the phone and this is what they say
most of our handset locks to the first sim card that you first used with the handset and only that specific network provider can be able to assist on unlocking the handset as the handset is locked directly with them.
I do apologize, as we get the handset from the manufacture directly sim free phone however they do lock to first network used with the handset please contact three Customer Services and they will be able to assist you.

Just tried my unlocked phone bought from cpw in Nov. Was using a three sim since Nov....Did a factory reset, and then put in wife's O2 sim and it worked FINE..... Still got three splash screens, but phone appears to be still unlocked... good job or cpw were in for a big fight !!!
well the stance from CPW is that unless it is faulty they won't replace it and to determine if faulty they want to send it of for repair.
It will not lock your phone to the first sim card.
It just puts 3 splash screen on if you insert a 3 sim.
The phone is still unlocked to any network

Can confirm the above, and that inserting a sim DOES NOT lock it to the first sim card you put in... but will install the three splash screen (if it's a three sim)..
ok, just seen this on three's website - http://www.three.co.uk/discover/Three_inTouch/android-wifi-calling
this means the phones are being updated to say they were purchased through them and not a 3rd party, which then allows the wifi calling features to work.
Hi all,
I have finally received an update from Huawei
The Mate 10 Pro version sold in Carphone Warehouse is the open market version and it is exactly the same one sold by H3G.
The software version is also the same, however, this will be customized to the relevant operator depending on the SIM card that is inserted in the device for the very first time.
This customization is irreversible as per the operator's requirement, however, the device will maintain its SIM Free status.
One of the reasons behind it is to ensure the 4G/Wi-fi calling feature will be enabled on these devices. As you may know this option is not available on the unbranded/open market devices, as it requires network customization.

Sorry to bump an old thread
Thinking about getting a mate 10 Pro, sim free version from Amazon UK.
I’m on 3 sim only, are you saying if I put my sim into this handset it will rebrand it 3 and enable WiFi calling ? Does VoLTE work too?
After this the 3 branding will remain no matter what sim I use later?
Thanks.

That's my understanding from what I've read in the UK thread. I'm on Vodafone myself and recently purchased a Mate 10 Pro from Currys and I have WiFi calling working and the Vodafone Apps installed themselves, so the response from Huawei makes sense and must be the way they are doing things now.

The 3 branding will remain. There is no way of getting rid of it. Even after factory wipe the 3 splash screen remains.
However the phone still remains unlocked.
There is a setting in developer options that I believe stops this from happening if you select it before you put the SIM in.
Automatic system updates needs to be un selected
But if you un select it 3 functions like WiFi calling ect will not work as it stops the 3 updates ?
Yeah, the Amazon UK supplied Mate 10 Pros will work with wifi calling and VoLTE (worked great on EE when had my Mate 10 Pro).
I'm thinking of moving to O2 soon, and expect they'll work OK there too...
Sucks for anyone on 3, I had my EE SIM card in my Mate 10 Pro and it installed the My EE app which I use anyway, then I bought a O2 SIM card, factory reset and it downloaded a O2 app, but no splash screens or permanent rebranding, only tested it out because of this thread, I'm back on my EE SIM card now.

Official line is O2 doesn't support VoLTE or VoWiFi on Huawei phones, did you test that TheInfiniteAndroid? Not supported doesn't always mean not working...
I'm thinking of changing over to O2 because there's 4G at home on O2 but basically no signal at all on EE - have to rely on VoWiFi here, which isn't ideal.
I cannot seem to get a straight answer on this. I am hoping someone on this forum uses the Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29 with the Europe or any branding for that matter on T-Mobile.
Initially, when the phone was released, VoLTE did not work on T-Mobile. The simplest way to check if this works is if you turn WiFi off, make a phone call on T-Mobile, and if the 4G symbol changes to 3G or anything else while you are on the call, it doesn't work. If it stays on 4G, it works.
Since then, Huawei has released the P20 line. They all work with VoLTE on T-Mobile.
So I'm wondering with all the updates the Mate 10 Pro has received, if they have now turned this feature on for US CARRIERS?
Or because they released a US version of the phone (BLA-A09) where VoLTE works on T-Mobile, they may be opting to not turn this on on the international version of the phone as to not undermine sales of the US version of the phone.
If anyone can definitively answer this question for me and if VoLTE now works, please attach a screenshot while on a call with a T-Mobile SIM so I can see.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and helps me out.
I've rebranded my BLA-L29 to BLA-A09 to get this functionality to work because I don't want to unlock my bootloader and change the carrier and buildprop files which would make it work on a BLA-L29.
The funniest thing is when I email Huawei, they respond with "please check with your carrier"... It's not the carrier, it's their configuration file on the phone that either allows or disallows it to work.

So here's a feq questions i'd really like to figure out for clarity...
But before that, here are the model details i am dealing with as per subject:
Model: BLA-L09
Build: 9.0.0.168 / C34E3R1P11
EMUI Version: 9.0.0
1. it appears from what i've been finding that Huawei has essentially cut the cord when it comes to Bootloader Unlock codes?
It looks like DC Unlocker and Funky Huawei don't support the model at the moment either.
So has anyone had any success with trying to do this at all?
2. Being that this model has the unfortunate result of having Optus firmware on it (if i had known it was going to be and Optus version i would have found an alternative) ...this does not seem to get LTE reception, at least the phone doesnt seem to think so anyway, can only get 4G+
Has anyone had this issue and has there been a fix implemented?
Thankfully my Aldi sim is working, but i would like to actually get full use out of my service by having full LTE reception.
I believe the phone is physically capable of it?
3. I noticed the sim card slot has the second port blocked out, is this for if it was setup as the dual-sim model, or can this actually take a microsd memory card?
I have seen some conflicting messages on this.
4. Much of all that above clearly seems to rely on being able to unlock the Bootloader and get a different firmware onto the phone, but it's sounding like the Mate 10 series is being left in limbo...
I appreciate all helpful feedback
Hello everyone, I have a question for everyone. My Mi 10 is purchased in Europe (single card). A few days ago I changed the ROM of the phone (Chinese version custom). In the settings, SIM2 actually appeared. I was wondering if I could change the dual card slot to make the single SIM a dual SIM.
English is not my mother tongue, these come from Google Translate. I like xda i like to flash
I guess it's possible if you have the skills to remove the sim slot inside the phone

Are u sure it's only a matter of tray? I mean, is the tray the thing where you put the SIM card(s) and slide in?
From what I was reading you should be able to do it. Someone already did it let me look for the link.

guys, i bought a global Mi 10, and the unlocked it, flashed EU ROM and now 2 sim active! but there is a problem, in my country, to stop the smugglers,you have to register your IMEI so i tried to do that, But in Global model the IMEI1 and IMEI 2 are completely different! THE TAC part of IMEI is starting with 8602 and the second one starts with 8615!!!! completely different and the custom of my country don't let me to register both IMEIs!
So friends, someone with China Package, would you please check that the TAC part of IMEI ( the first 6 numbers of IMEI) are the same or completely different like mine!!!
Thanks in advance

Hey @pascha46
I just flashed the xiaomi.eu rom: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V11.0.25.0.QJBCNXM_v11-10 and now when someone calls me it only says unknown caller - no number or contact name is showing. Are you seeing the same thing when someone calls you?
Its really wierd for me because when i go back to stock global rom as i got it out of the box, the caller id does work but the phones second sim is disabled. as soon as i do xiaomi.eu rom i get this error. Pictures attached.
I ordered the dual sim slot and still waiting for it to come in, so right now i have 2nd sim enabled but only one sim in the phone, i dont know if that might be the reason im getting this error.
