Which profile should I use in order to extract partitions from update.app?
There is no profile for P7, but there is one for P6.
Hi,
I followed the instructions to convert L09 to Middle Eastern & North and South Africa version and it all worked well for me, but I'm wondering how do I convert to Chinese version? Can anyone help with some information?
Like do i just need to edit the build.prop and have the correct regions update.app file? or is something else necessary.
Thanks in advance
Gavin

So I managed to convert to Chinese version. This is how I did it.
While fresh in the memory, instructions on how to change the region+ firmware to UL00
What do you need (links in 004's original post earlier in the thread or here:
1. Firmware UL00-C433B114 (Middle East, North and South Africa)
2. The oeminfo.img program to change the locale (45.69 KB) Anti-Virus may or complain, so disable it)
3. Mounted on the phone ES Explorer (Solid or Root Explorer will not work !!!)
4. You need a copy of your existing ROM versions recovery.img. You can get this using the Huawei ROM extractor tool.
What to do:
1. Flash TWRP Recovery through Fastboot (Bootloader must be unlocked)
2..Get Root (install SuperSU.zip through TWRP), reboot.
3. Install and enable root in settings of ES Explorer and go to the folder /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/
4. Copy oeminfo file and transfer it to your computer
5. On your computer, unpack the oeminfo.exe program from the RAR. Put your oeminfo file in the same folder.
6. Rename oeminfo in oeminfo.img
7. Run oeminfo.img.exe and type hw / meafnaf replacing dualcu / cn - click apply
8. Rename oeminfo.img back to oeminfo and copy to your mobile phone
9. Replace the original file in the phone to change (overwrite)
10. Go to the phone / system / and open the file build.prop
11. Find the line ro.build.displey.id = change your version to "=" CRR-UL00C433B000 and save changes
EDIT ?: These steps (10/11) MUST be completed or it will not allow you to update later with new regions ROM
12. Extract the new ROM file on your computer with the firmware.
13. Copy dload folder with the Update.app file and copy it to the phone's internal memory or MicroSD card
14. Flash back stock recovery from your existing ROM (use the extractor tool if needed). You can do this now or at the end before flashing but you must remove TWRP and ROOT before attempting to flash new rom.
15. On the phone go Settings - Update.
16. Select Menu - Local update
I then ensured Google Play was installed.
After doing this, flashed TWRP again and Rooted the phone, I then edited the oeminfo file using the above method, changing the attribute back to "dualcu/cn". After this I edited the build.prop to using the above method but this time I changed "ro.build.display.id=CRR-UL00C00B131".
I then removed root and flashed the original Huawei recovery, and then rebooted and went to update settings. I searched for update and a new file was found however a modified system was detected so it offered to download a full version which was the B160 build. This downloaded and then updated and now I have CRR-UL00C00B160 version
Whats the advantage of this Version?
There are more updates to the Chinese version..they are on build B160 whereas UK still on build B144.
Some other features like dual SIM should work however I haven't tested this.
Other things like build in virus scanner, permissions manager and also the ability to set the date of your mobile data plan to help keep track of data usage and allowance.
Pressure sensitive screen is also featured although not yet used in any apps but maybe it will be enabled soon by Huawei

Hello, could you please tell me why do you write (type) in step 11. CRR-UL00C433B000 instead of CRR-UL00C433B114? Thanks for your answer.

you need to set your build.id to B000 so you can update to B114 with an full update package in the EMUI Update app

Thanks for your soon answer. To say the truth, i have just completed the process. Unfortunately, i wrote (in my case) CRR-L09C432B114 instead of CRR-L09C432B000; my device ist just running with this B114 Rom. I was running the B119 Rom before, what should i do now in order to receive the updates?

if you have changed your localization ( the "Cxxx" part) then you won´t receive any updates. You have to manualy update via Update.APP files.
Your IMEI is linked to you Build/Localization. This way, Huawei makes sure that every phone receives the right update file. If you change one of both, you won´t receive OTA updates anymore, since the update system can´t assign the "right" update file.
Anyone can confirm the dual sim function work after this procedure?? This I want a dual sim active dfsa
it does not, EU Mate S does not have dual-dim hardware

Sorry I don't know
Please share file oeminfo Dual Sim CRR-UL00 any region (hw/meafnaf or dualcu/cn)
I lost my backup of oeminfo / custom.bin from my L09C432 can anyone make this backup and share to me .
I need it too! Have you already managed to find those files?
Hi,
I am very unsure how this happened, but I think we all can agree that I f***ed up somehow.
Ive been trying to get back to stock B373 (or B370), but with no luck. NOTHING I do works. Flash manually in fastboot with extracted .imgs from Update.App, tools, or trying to get the recovery to flash the Update.APP file (stuck at 5%).
Finally I tried installing the Marshmellow Resurrection Remix, and it says it can't because my device doesn't match the 'allowed ones', and my device is EVA.
So, how the heck do I go back to VIE-L09? Like, I respect that my phone identifies as EVA now, and I support her efforts, but I got work to do
Help?

Well, looks like your efforts to fix your mobile brought you to an update.app that was made for the "regular" P9 - that's actually called EVA. As Huawei successfully pulled all ROMs from their servers it looks like you have to send your EVA in to their service centre for reassigning surgery
There might be a slight change to change things back to normal yourself with SRK-Tool.
Good luck!
if you can pull out the oeminfo, you can edit it via an hexadecimal editor and change the value EVA to VIE.

Thank you so much for answering, even tho you couldnt help Appreciate it! Nothing worse than complete silence
boot into twrp -> advanced -> File Manager -> /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/ -> copy "oeminfo" into SD card or other folder visible by computer
then copy the copied "oeminfo" to your computer
open it with an hexadecimal editor (you can use this editor : HxD )
goto offset : 5A200 (just press ctrl+G then write 5A200 then OK) and change EVA to VIE
then goto offset 60200 and change EVA to VIE again
warning : do not change other values in oeminfo
save the changes
recopy the modified oeminfo to your phone then to /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/
reboot

So, after hours and hours .. Im still stuck.
I've tried the above, but it doesnt fix it. I . have C432 oeminfo file, and custom.bin file. However, I have no clue as to where to put the custom.bin file. It says to place it in /data/, but there arent any custom.bin file there from before, so I'm unsure.
Im really really stuck here, for the first time ever in all my years screwing up in modding/flashing
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and there's 0.5 Decred (DCR) for whoever gives me a tip that helps me solve this ****.
try update to your original rom with firmwarefinder (proxy methode)
if FF detect your phone as EVA you can change the model (tap to change model in the menu)
Hi, I would like to restore my P9 to stock rom EVA-L09C432B386 using the HWOTA method explained here.
I am unable to locate the firmware files required.
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip
Does anyone have them?
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place.
Thanks.
Hi, I am looking for the same or similar to upgrade from EVA-L09C432B210, preferably in the format where i can use the dialpad? All previous links seem dead. If anyone has a copy of this software somewhere this would be much appreciated.
Same problem that I have too, I guess we arrived late ....
Have the images, but unfortunately no zips or update.app available anymore.
B136 only main update.app
B182 only main update.app
B210
B242
B378 full zips
B383
B386
B387
B388
B391
B393
B394
B395
B397
B398
B399 imgs + cust zips
B502
B503
B504
B505
B506 update.app complete
If you guys use TWRP, we can talk about a prebuilded zip to flash. On the other hand allmost every firmware is unpacked and is only as img files available. Most are useless to store.

Hi, could you share the full zips for B378?
How would I use a prebuilt zip to restore to stock?
Thanks for your reply!
Check if you can find something in Nougat folder at:
15.94 GB folder on MEGA
32 files and 6 subfolders
mega.nz
Rar images should be unarchived and inside you should find zips for updating.
Some may even contain official installation documentation
I dont know but maybe in the future someone is going to need my signature.
Have fun.
