Debrand&Update from TIM Mobile B123 - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've found on my polish android forum way to debrand p8 lite without using bootloader. However it doesn't work on my phone which is branded for TIM Mobile (some italian operator).
My version is TAG-L01C212B123 - I want to debrand it and follow with official huawei releases.
I'd like to make it without unlocking bootloader so I can keep my guarantee.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

Your best bet is to unlock the bootloader by getting your unlock key from huawei and if the problems arise wherein you need to return your phone pay the small amount to DC unlocker (Google it) to lock your phone (shows locked not relocked)

Thank you for your reply.
Well first of all I managed to update to b576 without unlocking the bootloader.
And the main purpose why I couldn't do it in the first place was... not having a Huawei p8 Lite but huawei 5s enojy / gr3 / p8lite smart (TAG-01) - call it whatever you want. A little misunderstanding between me and phone seller.

Hi! I have a p8 lite smart, too. I'd like to unbrand it, did you find a way to do it?
I didn't find anything on google about it, nobody knows this phone!

If I had, I wouldnt return it It was slightly better than p8 lite.
I guess you should look at chinese/hindi forums, I guess that phone was meant for asian markets.

Huawei P8Lite ALE-UL00

Can anybody help me root my new phone? I picked it up in China and of course come home to the US and find that the native Huawei EMUI 3.1 makes the phone basically unusable due to 1) the native apps being mostly in Chinese, and 2) I cannot install any Google apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

, and when i wrote to them 3 days ago still didn't get any answer. So I was just thinking is there any other way to unlock bootloader?
I was thinking about using something like kingoroot to get root access, then getting some kind of custom recovery, then getting normal root and getting rid of kingo, but have no idea will it work and how to get it to work. Any ideas? Or should i just stay with unrooted p8....
well that site did not work me for me too...
i used this link:

Hi, be careful with Kingroot; I used it on my Huawei P8 lite and it bricked my phone (could not update any app and not go back to factory settings). Also the Huawei website was hopeless for me. But I got the unlock code by PHONING the general Huawei helpdesk. I used a Dutch phonenumber (free calling, no cost) because I live in NL, but you should look for such a number in your country. The man was very helpful, asked for my SN, IMEI and product ID and one day later he phoned bak with the unlock code
Hotline support, view our global hotlines. Google on these sentences on the Huawei general pages. I wish you succes. Jos

Yes, many users have reported that rooting through Kingroot bricked their device, but it worked like a charm for me... Anyways, if you want to do via kingroot way, please understand every risk...

Some advice on "upgrading" my ALE-L02

Hi guys,
I'm a little noob with geek stuff but still I like to do it by myself.
Story: I went abroad for a six months trip and I bought a P8 lite in Japan (Soft bank carrier). The model is a ALE-L02-C111B210 (single sim) and from my search on the forum, I understand that it is the same as L21 except LTE frequencies may not work. I have different ideas but I'd like to check before doing anything stupid (which I am )
The phone has a lot of japanese crappy apps that I cannot uninstall and no updates are provided by this carrier. That why I want to root it and debrand it.
1- When I put my european simcard, it ask me for a network unlock code. I cannot get it from the carrier because my account was closed and they don't want to hear anything. I then found website who can give me a "generic" unlock code for this device against 10€. Before paying for a code, I'd like to know if rooting the phone and puting a custom/unbrand rom, it will also unlock the network or not. I compare to my old iphone who can be unlocked once rooted
2- I read a LOT of threds about L21 and several people with the L02 used the video for RootJunky who give all required files included a firmware file but an old one I think (V100R001C636B120).
Can replace it with one I got from huawei website but following the same procedure ? for instance : HUAWEI P8 Lite Firmware(ALE-L21, Andriod 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C432B565, Austria, Single SIM, Channel-Others)
3- dumb question. what's the stock rom for ? because it is only 34Mb on the RootJunky repository
Thanks a lot for any help/answer

1) Which website? Are you sure it is safe? Don't give credit card information on such sites without confirmation. Iphone rooted?Iphone can be unlock and jail break but remember root is different from jailbreaking.
2) You may flash other country firmware. It's no big deal. But you may need to unlock bootloader.
3) stock rom is the default rom that phone comes with. Its size is usually above 1GB. 34MB can't be stock rom.

The website should be ok, it has a good rating of trustedshops. does not look fake, but still, I'd like to know if buying an unlock code will be necessary after rooting/changing the rom .[/QUOTE]

You can use DC-unlocker but that costs 4$.
Or you may be able to use this method.
Also I saw on the p10 lite forums that someone found a website where Honor provides a limited amount of unlock codes for XDA members. But he is not sure if that is really legit. Anyway the thread is here.

Yeah Honor has started providing limited number of unlock codes to its users... But that's a catch, it's on First come First serve basis... And the main thing is only for Honor devices, Huawei codes won't be there

How to unlock P9 lite in 2019?

Hello, i have received used P9 lite some days ago and i would like to unlock bootloader, custom roms etc.
Is there any free option to unlock my device?
If you know where to get DC unlocker cracked tell me
Which paid option is recommended nowadays? DC for $4.5 is ok.
It seems I was hacked and rooted... As I understand, some kind of spyware found its home at /cust/hw/... Service center offers reset my phone for $5, but I'm not sure they really understand difference between Factory reset and full firmware update (Cambodia, yep). So DC is looking valuable choice. But... Since device was probably unlocked and probably rooted/unrooted, will I get a root without a headache?..
(Still not really understand all the details about rooting process, despite 2 weeks diving into the Android world.)
