Hi There,
I bought Huawei P9 plus in china in Dec 16, model no: VIE-AL10. I continually update the Chinese firmware on it, when the phone requests a new one is available. However I get fed up that there are still some features I can't access as I don't understand chinese and also I don't have a chinese registered mobile no. to access some of the Huawei faciilities.
Can I change the firmware to a European version? and if so how do I go about this. I'm not very savvy when it comes to mobiles so a simple step by step process would be appreciated . What are the main differences between the two firmwares which you think I will benefit from?
thanks
andy
On XDA, 'support' for P9 Plus is much less than for P9 (there are procedures to debrand P9 and install EU cust c432, wherefrom you can install custom ROMs for P9, etc).
If you google for e.g. XDA VIE-AL10, you can find some threads about installing TWRP and rooting the Chinese P9 Plus, you may further ask there
TG, I have P9 EVA-L09 which is best 'supported' (with L19)

Got this TL00 from China. this version doesnt have NFC. Wishing to change to EVA-L29 rom
I have the same problem, DL00 and chinese rom, mostly would like to change it to an european or american rom to remove all the chinese locked stuff...
you can search tutorials on how to debrand Huawei p9, note that you will need to unlock your bootloader and root your device first.
Hi everyone,
I have an P9 (EVA-AL00), the 3gb Dual-SIM chinese variant. I'm using it in Europe, and i would like to try (after a NANDROID Backup done) to flash the corresponding European Dual-SIM variant EVA-L19 firmware.
A few questions:
-Does anyone here had already flashed an European Firmware on a Chinese variant?
-Having it done (if possible), may the phone receive OTA updates, this time for EVA-L19?
Objective:
-Mainly, my objective here was to get a phone as if was and original European one, which i could create a Huawei ID account.
-As a bonus: Get working that search tool we got from long pressing "Home button" and the slide up, i guess its called HIVoice, in english or portuguese.
I basically would like to still have this amazing phone (and Android compilation btw) as stock as possible (Europe zone).
Many thanks in advance!
PS: I have some experience with flashing CFW, on some phones i previously had - Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300), but none with Huawei phones
Huawei P9
Hi, did you find a solution for your Huawei P9? I have the same problem; Huawei p9 from China with EVA - AL00. Now i want to get rid of the chinese systemparts and flash an international rom.
Hi guys, I need an oeminfo C150 for flash C150B191 and C150B321 (Nougat) please? I have C432B181 and I want flash C150B191 or C150B321. Another thing.. Is there TWRP for Nougat P9 Plus? And can rooting on Nougat? Thanks. Regards
Ps. I have P9 Plus... VIE-L09C432B181
me too, have anyone this oeminfo ?
Yeah, maybe someone can make a backup of the telekom oeminfo and custom.bin of a branded t-com P9 Plus? That seems the best solution to get Nougat in germany right now and faster updates.
I check everyday for new updates and information for a Leaked Beta or rollout of c432 Nougat in germany. I had a branded Vodafone P9 Plus now unbranded C432 because i thought they would get easier or faster a Nougat update xP Fail~ Telecom is the first Provider that i ever saw doing that fast updates...faster then Huawei for C432.
Well i hope someone can help or HW will be soon as possible rollout finally the Update for C432 or someone shares a leaked beta/stable. I guess there will be no Offical Beta in germany now after that long time they would already had started something. The only other question is, have the C150 some kind of bloatware by telecom inside?
I love Huawei but it's bad sad to see that a phone like the P9 Plus seems to get the Update as last one.
Hi everyone,
I just received my brand new Honor 5C from China and would like to install a european rom (France) to get rid of Huawei chinese programs.
I've read the similar threads on this forum, but I'm not sure of what exactly I need to do to avoid bricked phone or loss of SIM card.
Bootloader is already unlocked and I have a NEM-AL10C00B110-2GBRAM build number.
Can you help me ? I'd appreciate it a lot !
edit 24/03 :
After reading carefully all the posts in this forum (and others), it seems like I can't install a european rom on my NEM-AL10 without loosing the IMEI...
Yes, changing hardware regions on NEM-AL10 is impossible without losing cellular connectivity atm.
But you have a solution. I've made a zip for TWRP which cleans out most Chinese software and tweaks the settings to suit Russian users. European languages also supported. There is some Cyrillic here and there but you'll get firmware without Chinese apps, with working play market, contacts/calendar sync and many usability tweaks for emui.

I have installed the TWRP 3.02 on my phone, but i only have Access to 107MB Memory and can't install the zip-file. Has anyone the same Problem ?

Look in this threat Lost "IMEI on NEM-L51 (actually an AL10 2Gb) by bdurren "
I've wondering what would really happened if i am gonna flash a different firmware based on flashing different oeminfo
Original Firmware: PRA-LX2C636B160
Flashed after debrand: PRA-LX1XXXXB180 (EU HW, Dual Sim version)
I was scared when EMUI asks for update again then they've asked me to update system images too, right after a OTA update. It was B190 with March 2018 Security Update.
What should i do? Should i ignore this until i were able to go back to PRA-LX2?
And also what is difference between P8 Lite 2017 to GR3 2017?
Thanks
The names are different just because Huawei does not ship the same model-name worldwide.
Different models are sold in different parts of the world even though it is the same phone, almost (99%)! Things that can differ is the color and the dual-sim/single-sim.
Your phone is pra-lx2 but the software thinks its pra-lx1, so you will always get the updates for lx1 version.
You should not be afraid of the updates since as I said before, it is basically the same version of the phone. Updating wont hurt the phone.
P8 Lite 2017 is GR3 2017, and many other names.
