Hi,
I want to change/downgrade my firmware to remove Vodafone branding. Can someone tell me what firmware I can use without unlocking/rooting my phone.
Model - ALE-L21
Build Number - ALE-L21C02B589
Custom Version - CUSTC02D001
Network - Vodafone
Thanks
None, all downgrades requiere an unlocked bootloader.
Here's the guide to unlocking the bootloader

Here's the guide to installing EU firmware (C432) (It says UAE but don't mind that)

Here's the link to download the necessary firmware

I followed these to install EU firmware. I had asian firmware (C636) at first. Hopefully it'll work for you too.
Thanks

You should be able to flash it without problems, c02 must be your carrier

CO2 - vodafone branding
C432- generic (non-branded)
after some reading on XDA it's seams that 432 will become 900, I have first to "unbranded", change from 02 (vodafone) to unbranded 432
I found a tutorial on XDA but only in spanish, does it exist in english ?
thanks

Hello and thanx will it also work for the VNS-L31C02B123 verion .. I have been looking everywhere .. My phone is rooted and unlocked .. Thank you
Hello,
I know this thread is a little old but I have some follow up questions since I'll trying to achieve the same (also have L31C002B125 and would like to upgrade without bricking, if possible).
Where is that Spanish guide you found to unbrand your phone (Spanish is fine by me) from 02 to 432?
I've found several treads that talk about jumping to 161 but with a procedure that doesn't inspire much confidence for me. Something requiring preparing a dload folder with B161, flashing oeminfo/custom.bin for my location (that still is C02 and cannot find any file with that) then realizing the firmware is corrupted (what??) and letting it repair using the dload files via 3keys/dialer code (wich one?)... etc etc. as you see not very noob friendly.
At this moment I have already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery... Can't I do the usual flash with latest rom as with other phones? To afraid to try. Please help.
First, you need change oeminfo. Flash oemiffo from c432 and other step -flash firmware c432b160 ( dual sim) 161 ( single sim).
Very easy make this is via twrp. Flash zip with vendor and firmware.
Hello, I tried to update by #*#* secret menu to B361 by downloading update from this site: hwmt.ru
unfortunately the update stops at 7% and phone restarts to current version.
I have a C150 variant that I bought at T-Mobile (Croatia)
Do i have to debrand it (to eu version) in order to successfully upgrade the phone?
If yes, that means that i have to unlock the bootloader which probably cancels the varranty. Is there an alternate option? Thanks in advance!
I accidentallay installed VKY-L09C432B152 rom to my Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L29C185124 version device.
Now the device name changed to D189 and model number is now D189-L29 (compile number is NRD90M test keys)
I want to change version to VKY-L29C636B151. I think this is the right version for my device.
My only goal is change region from middle east to Europe. No root or something else. Just have the europe version.
But, i installed wrong version. Bootloader is unlocked now and when i try to install VKY-L29C636B151 version from hwota folder, it stopped when comes to %5 percent of install.
How can i fix this?
download the correct region firmware update and use HWOTA flash method to reinstall proper version.
Use rebrand not update with HWOTA tool and flash the same firmware twice.
i have the same issue, what if i found the problem via HWOTA method in update.bat?

what exactly does hwota say? saying "about 5%" doesn't mean anything, and no one can help you from there.
Hi,
I have a rooted P9 Lite(2016) with Dual SIM and want to Update to Android 7.
But I can't update OTA because it's a rooted device.
My model: VNS-L31C432B130
I think i have 2 options: First is to unroot and update it OTA and than again root, because it's very important to root for me.
Second option is to download and install it manually.
But i don't know which firmware i have to choose. Only thing i know is that my device is VNS-L31 version.
There is so many firmware on the internet. Can i choose all firmware that begins with VNS-L31 or is there something to consider?
For example this version: VNS-L31C636B361
Which way is easier and which firmware should i choose?
thanks

The right firmware for your phone is L-31C432B370
L-31 is the phone model, if you flash firmwares with wrong phone model your phone will certainly soft brick or brick.
C432 is the region, for example c636 is Oriental/Chinese region, c185 is American or other (I don't remember), c432 is European. If you flash firmwares with wrong region, the phone will probably go into c900, the global region, And it would be difficult to restore to the factory firmware.
B*** is the actual firmware version. From 300 is android nougat, and the versions that end with 0 ("b370") are for dual SIM, those that end with 1 ("b371") are for single SIM.
Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using XDA Labs
l-31c432b370 how to install
Hi,
I have bricked my device today with this update https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545586862
I install it via twrp and than had the issue with voice command instead keyboard during setup. Fortunately I am now again back to Android 6.
Could anyone please tell me which one I have to choose and by which method I have to install it. I mean, should I install it with stock recovery or with tmrp.
My device is now unlocked and it's rooted with twrp.
Is that the right data: http://www.stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-b388-b389-nougat-update/
There are 3 files. One update.app and than Update data and update file. Should i install all 3 files or which one I have to choose?
Ps: Normally my system was Vns-l31c432b130 and now I have Vns-l31c432b161. But the phone is dual sim though.
Many thanks
Solved to rollback and update the usual way
Hello,
if anyone else has the same issue, this is the way to solve it.
First install the right rollback package and the stock Rom.
Here is a tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...torial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955
After I was again on stock, I updated first to b370 and than again updating to b380 by Huawei system update app.
Again unlock and install twrp and su if you wish to.
Many thanks
I want to upgrade the phone to Nougat, but I'm finding all kinds of information that people have bricked their phones. What I have now is can-l01c02b102 and I want to upgrade it to l01c432b396. I'm a little troubled about the meaning of c02 and c432 numbers from the firmware version. Does anyone know what they mean and does anyone know if the upgrade through those numbers would pose any risks of bricking?
Thanks
It seems that if I flash c432 over c02 I will get a cross branded phone with themes not working (Cxxx is the branding of the phone...). So, I'll need an oem info backup for C432. Can anyone share a backup of the oem info for the C432 image please?
Thanks.
Found the firmware for c02 (vodafone branded) with huawei ff. Latest is b365 on c02, but I heard that this has some problems and the previous b350-b351 worked without a glich... Can someone confirm this?
I've managed to update the phone to nougat b352. To share my experience with the whole proces, guys use the huawei ff from the google store, it was the only app with the help of which I managed to upgrade this phone... Very tricky to upgrade if you're not being offered official ota...
