Is it possible to install COL-L29 on COL-AL10 without unlocking the bootloader? - Honor 10 Questions & Answers

I know there is a thread about rebranding Chinese rom to European rom, the problem is I can't unlock ny phone because i Don't have the unlock code and I'm a noob at working with firmwares
i bought a honor 10 from an online Website which i realized it has Chinese ROM and I'm not comfortable with it, before i could install firmwares from different regions with only having the firmware i want to install and that firmware's region's oeminfo on my honor 6(which the region changing file was installable just like official firmwares), can i do the same with my honor 10?

Changing from chinese to european ROM

Hi, everyone,
i bought the Huawei Honor 9 chinese version (STF-AL00), is it possible to change the chinese version by the european version (STF-L09) through only FirmwareFinder (FF) Software ?
I'm asking that, because i saw a tutorial from someone, where he changed the chinese to european ROM just using the FF software. Basically, in FF, after the proxy configurations, when you search for a model to update, you change the model name for an european model (STF-L09...) and, after that, when you go to update option from device and ask for updates, the newest ROM (STF-L09...) will be available, so just confirm to install and reboot.
The procedure above really works ? I'm asking that because this procedure was done in other Huawei device, and not Honor 9.
I'm not with the device yet, not arrived from China.
I want to do so. Some Phonefixer on Taobao said they can do that but it is a little expensive(for me and other Chinese).It costs 190 yuan to do that.

Just follow the link above and it should work.

Could that possibly brick your device? Seeing as the Chinese version of the Honor 9 and the EU version use slightly different hardware?

Questions about Mate 10 rebrand (ALP-AL00 to ALP-L29c636)

Hi everyone:
Here is my situation.
I have a mate 10 6+128G. Device information:
Version: EMUI: 8.0.8
Firmware: ALP-AL00 8.8.8.129 (SP2C00)
Bootloader was unlock, I also root my phone, install TWRP, Magisk ... I also install Google Play, Google Service ..
Everything seems fine until I try to use Google Pay.
I got stuck when trying to register VISA credit card in Google Pay, MasterCard is fine.
I did a lot of search on China Huawei forums, and found China version of firmware got issues when register VISA credit card.
I have consulted my friends who have Mate 10, and they said they don't have such problem.
In my country, Mate 10 firmware version is ALP-L29C636, so I would like to rebrand my Mate 10 to this firmware.
But I still have some doubts regarding rebrand.
1. OEMINFO:
Should I replace my OEMINFO before rebranding ? From some post, seems it's necessary to replace OEMINFO with L29C636 version.
If I replace OEMINFO, will I lost my IMEI ?
2. After rebranding, Bootloader will be locked again. So I should use the same unlock code to unlock my Bootloader ?
3. After rebranding, I still want to root my phone. Can I follow the same method to root my phone after flashing new version of firmware ?
Thanks.

Talk to this guy: https://ministryofsolutions.com/
Its better and safer to spend some small $ and allow someone who is familiar with rebranding to do the job instead of risking and ends up in a brick. He did a rebrand on my Mate 10 from ALP-L09(C109) to ALP-L09(C432) and I can say it it's not so easy (in my opinion) so my recommendation is to contact him.

Question about firmware update on rebranded phone

So I've successfully rebranded a Chinese Honor9 (STF-AL10) to the European branding (STF-L09C432). Next step is install a L09 firmware. But there are 2 problems on the phone, which I believe are very common:
1 - no capacitive buttons
2 - camera flash/torch not consistently working
Is there a known firmware that I can flash to fix these problems (especially the camera flash problem) ? I read the B120 firmware is the way to go, but I haven't seen any download links (including pro-teammt.ru) that work. I know that flashing the lastest ROM will make downgrades brick the phone (this has already happened to me, but I was lucky enough to get another replace AL10).
Thanks.

Hello, I have also already rebranded Honor 9 from stf-al10 to European L09. I know the best way to rebrand it. You are supposed to unlock the bootloader at first and then root it whith open kirin twrp. After that you should change the oeminfo to L09, its really important. In that way, you can rebrand to L09 without problem. Do not forget to save the stock al10 oeminfo.

mate 10 pro BLA-L09 (C521) movistar colombia, DownGrade, rebrand, Unlock Bootloader?

I am from Colombia and I have the following problem:
I currently have a HUAWEI MATE 10 pro with the ROM BLA-L09 (C521) EMUI 8 with security patch of September 2018.
So far I have not been able to do anything with the phone.
I would like to do DOWNGRADE with a patch before June, but I can't find the right firmware. I tried installing BLA-L09C_8.0.0.116 (C521CUSTC521D8) _Firmware_Android_8.0.0_EMUI_8.0.0_05014WBB but it does not let the process continue.
I tried to install several ROMs by UPDATE.APP and I couldn't do it either.
I would like someone to help me to be able to install a free ROM and receive updates.:llorando:
Sorry for my English, I use the translator

REQUEST: oeminfo and cust files to rebrand CMR-W09 C567 to C432

As those affected know, C567 (US version) of MediaPad M5 is stuck at EMUI 8.0.
I managed to unlock the bootloader using the test point method (need to carefully open the device and use PotatoNV program).
However, after experimenting with a couple of Treble ROMS (pphusson's AOSP 11, for example), I decided EMUI was less buggy for me. However, I'd like to be able to upgrade to EMUI 9.1, for which I'd like to rebrand to C432 (Europe version). I understand it's possible to rebrand by changing the cust and oeminfo partitions.
QUESTION: does anyone have a method for modifying these files or can upload them if they have a C432? I understand there are some paid online services that may do rebranding, but would rather leverage the XDA hive!
BONUS QUESTION: if anyone has had a very good experience with some other ROM, would be glad to hear it.
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help or advice!
I've got a magisk rooted CMR-W09 C432 running 9.1.0.160. Maybe I can help you somehow...
But please care: I might have tempered something: I'm currently trying to upgrade to 9.1.0.371 but the updater fails consecutively: Maybe I've borked something e.g. in the bootloader or elsewhere...
