Base, cust and preload - Huawei P40 Pro+ Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I came here after successfully installed GMS on my p40 pro+.
I'm now stuck on EMUI 10, and I'd like to understand how it works before trying to upgrade.
First, I'd like to understand what are base, cust and preload. I suppose base is the rom, but what are cust and preload ?
Next, is it possible to have a base on v11 and cust / preload on v10 ? (I suppose not)
Finally, I try to understand how regions work. When I downgraded, I did'nt need to use cust and preload (why ?), but they're now on v10 with the region code C432 (Europe). The problem is that I don't find any C432 cust and preload on v11. Is it a problem if I use C578 ones (canada) ? I find a compatible version for both, according to firmware finder installed on my phone. What does region changes ?
Thanks,
Julien

Hey there Daniel! I'm on the Vodacom network as well. Could you please tell me what your cust version is? Maybe you can take a screenshot? I don't see a cust version on mine.

Some released firmware has UPDATE.APP for vendor. In can be found in folder named "Part 2". Inside of it you can find the file with a capacity of 17.9 kb. Hoping that Vodacom released it somewhere.

The Turkish version of b619 has it. I tried using it before and it works on 3.0. I modified it to get onto cust 432. I tried it now again but it doesn't work for 3.1.

I know it has. But we need CUSTC02 to get this firmware B817 work for non Vodacom user. 432 or 433 and etc. wont make this firmware work normally except having CUSTC02. This firmware can be used by Vodacom user only normally without having CUST error during installation.

Anyway, no problem about bootloader locked. I kept my unlocked code. But, still not working on B817. Still we need CUSTC02.
It's not so much of an issue from what can see. I did a factory reset and restored all my apps and data to see what happens. Still the same except that I now have LTE. Still no cust. If you have a look at the cust folder for our network, you'll see that there are masses of applications that will automatically install, all of which I am not partularly interested in. All I am interested in is the fact that everything runs and runs more smoothly than any other version I have used before, and there are no visible bugs so far

I totally agree with @rodlane .... this build is almost bug free .... only navigation bar hide option is not there .... and the battery is good .... i use 3g network all the time so it doesn't last long but no more mediaserver issues and no more heating ...... also with the built in lollipop battery saver function it is better then ever but huawei has hidden it dunno why but This app opens it :laugh::laugh:
Guys please help me I'm stuck on b800 after downgrading from b817, now I can't upgrade nor downgrade to kitkat..every rom file I flash it fails on 2%..I'm running stock firmware not rooted...
After several days finding ways how to successfully install B817 without CUST error, finally I made it. Now by playing the Vendor CUSTC version, I finally managed to change my vendor version to CUSTC02.

Change vendor/country info?

Hi all, i have a P9 L19 C185 vendor/country info middle east/africa and want to change to EU C432. Since there is no stock firmware out for L19 EU version i want to ask if it is possible to change the region if i take it from the L09 version and flash the vendor.img file or root the phone and change the oem file?

Change country code with ios Apple
Hi There,
I read several posts. I just bought a chinese version Huawei P9
Manufacture info: EVA-TL00VN2
Bootloader Version:: EVA-C00B198_Fastboot
CP Version: 21.210.03.01.031 (balong)
), but live in The Netherlands and require English. At present the "Google" app is not working properly. It sincs Calandar and Mail, but it refuses to sync contacts.
I am totally new on software changes etc. I try to understand, but need step-for-step instructions.
I also believe that the Chinese google apk restricts the phone doing certain things due to Chinese laws. (is this a realistic assumption).
I tried downloading SRK-file from other thread, but this is software for Windows and I have a Mac.
Is there a SRK-program (or similar) to operate from IOS.
Please help.
P.s.: Is country code is not an issue to my problem according to you, please advise.
I have restored factory settings several times and started over with installation.
I have checked all possible boxes in Phone and on Google account to allow sites / software to be installed from non-verified partners.
I have been able to download European Google Playstore and all related apps....however...contacts do not sync.
Even though I have changed languages in several locations on phone to English, Chinese signs keep popping up (i.e. homescreen). Rest is English.
Does anyone no the "Verification Key" for the special code under "Veneer Code" (youtube.com/watch?v=oipKvS_n--A&index=47&list=PLeiJwJY5dlmjhw2MEVYMsDvuiuIlphUv1[/url])

so i unlocked boot loader then i installed custom recovery twrp , i wiped system and data and flashed boot cust recover system files trough fastboot
after reboot phone stuck in huawei logo , i flashed twrp again ,i can enetr fastboot and recovery

what can i do for unbreak phone ?
thx for helping
i use this post , now everything ok
thx @cristi.blidariu

first of all,you need to unlock bootloader,and then flash by fastboot this firmware:
Ale-L21C432B052
https://mega.nz/#!jdFiyJpR!X2fmOZ-ShY-Kx-9lwnSUN16Vo52_aU0i4K1KmdBW64Q
when is done,reboot phone,now flash this firmware by fastboot:
Ale-L21C432B132 http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/09/download-huawei-p8-lite-b132-firmware-dual-sim/ (download and extract,you will find a folder dload,now use huawei update extractor to extract this files:boot,cust,recovery and system)
Now you need to make local update with this firmware
https://mega.nz/#!XAlCSLqQ!EhBUXcrvbt1pluokN4uGZeIs9RsMwKwa6J0g1i8oGjM
At the end your phone will end up with build number Ale-L21C432B170,now open HiCare app from phone,update to last version,and then HiCare app will tale you there is an update to Ale-L21C432B574

Unfortunately i only know how to unbrick only use this method,but i think that with the correct firmware you should be able to return to your region
edit:you can try with this version V100R001C185B120,download and extract,now use huawei update extractor and extract this files:boot,cust,recovery and system,and flash by fastboot commands,when is done,make a local update with ALE-L21C185B525 i wish you best of luck

You can't rebrand (but you could brick) just by flashing c432 build.
Maybe you can do it by HWOTA7 (advantage, no need to go back to MM), similarly as explained in posts #1 and #2 (you can directly ask in the thread would it work, maybe you can escape c432 ang go directly to AL10b399 etc)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
But for sure you can rebrand to c432 by rolling back to MM (and then you will receive OTA updates for c432 for Nougat)

Hi
Sorry for my late answer. HWOTA7 is primarily for rebranding on Android 7 without having to downgrade to Android 6.
A) Just read first Post 1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849/
B) Follow the Guide from Post 2 - STEPS 0-10 (11 and 12 are only required, if something went wrong in step 10) - but in Step 8 you must choose the oeminfo for your needs (in your case L09c432) and of course, you must have the Firmware for the new oeminfo in the update folder!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2
I would recommend to use b504 for EVA-L09c432 for now, because it is currently approved

No, it doesn't contain any personal information on Android 7 and Android 6 - only on new devices with Android 8 oeminfo include IMEI.
That's why it's not possible on Android 8 to change location by changing oeminfo...
@miksly Would you please zip your oeminfo Backup and upload it for me (I would integrate into HWOTA7) , thanks

I don't know have you really been originally on that cust c451, or you rebranded to c451 as part of going back to stock / rolling back to MM
Anyway, c451 is a dead end, check on FirmwarFinder or at:
https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=EVA-L09c451
you will see that EMUI 4.1, b131/b132 are the last ever firmwares for c451
You need to rebrand to some 'proper' cust like c432 (European), c636, or so, to be able to obtain OTA updates up to EMUI 5, like it was described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2
Rebranding to c432 is crucial. If updating to b182 as described there will fail, you should be able to reinstall c432 b182 (or newer c432) by eRecovery, or by flashing service restore c432b182 (but there are no service restores for c451 and no Nougat firmwares for c451)

Thanks for the reply,
No, ive been originally on c451. I dindt change anything on this device. I bought it at amazon almost 3 years ago, and apparently it was a "telstra" phone, i think from Australia, altought in amazon it said unlocked. Now im using Movistar network in Argentina.
Ok then, the question is, is there any way to know that after rebranding to c432 or another cust my device will work properly? i mean phone signal (the most important thing), camera, fingerprint sensor, etc.

Hardware is always the same, rebranding puts the other cust.
And with cust c432 you should receive OTA updates up to b504/b505
If not, for some reason (then it is possible to force DLOAD or HWOTA updates
Btw, responding you now from L09c432 rebranded to AL10c00 (Chinese), with Oreo b540 (Oreo was released for P9 only in China) and with some adaptations (Chinese firmwares are specific), everything works ok.
If you search throughout XDA, you will find many users (for all kinds of Huawei models) rebrand here and there, usually to c432 or c636 since they obtain faster and more updates (except for Chinese AL10, AL00, DL10 and alike that get first and farthest OTA updates, but Chinese firmwares require adaptations to become useful worldwide: bloatware, missing GApps, missing intl languages and configurations for intl carriers, and so)
Btw, didn't you previously say that you returned to stock (from custom ROM?) - in that case you must have Bootloader code (for rebranding you need to start with the unlocked Bootloader - have also OEM/FRP unlocked)
Edit: Btw, this is a wrong thread for discussing the update of stock MM firmware to Nougat
