This project is not longer maintained!
-
For a new version of this project (P10 Lite Toolkit) have a look at this thread.

The latest build of this project is still available.
---

But anyways, i'm not responsible for any damage done to your device!

Pls, before u upgrade ur single-sim to dual-sim, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
According to this post i strongly recommend that u check if your device is SIM-unlocked, before u flash any SIM upgrade! It's not guaranteed that u encounter the same issue see this post there were no problems after the unlock on an already flashed device.

!WARNING!
According to this post and an personal encounter of that behavior, there are a few devices which ends in an "black screen" after an "dload" based firmware update. - The only solutions to fix this "black screen" problem are currently the "Service-Center" or DC-Phoenix.
(For the DC-Phoenix solution see this post, there's everything explained and linked.)
-
Since i was informed about this problem i searched the web for 2 things...
1) Why this happens?
I found no answer so far... (i think, the update script went wrong or something couldn't be written during the update...)

2) Which devices/builds can encounter this problem?
So far i saw, its "LxxC02Bxxx", "LxxC440Bxxx" and some other maybe.

How - To

[Q:01] My device is not recognized by the toolkit?
1. Make sure NO adb-server is running!
2. U need to start ur device in android with enabled USB-Debugging! (see the screenshot)
(Only in adb mode my toolkit can detect ur device!)
3. Make sure that u granted adb access on ur device!
(A popup will appear on the device and asks u to grant access.)
Try also to restart the toolkit after u granted access on ur device.

U can also check the device state by opening a cmd/terminal prompt and typing:
Code: 
cd path\to\the\toolkit\adb
adb devices -l
check if ur device is listed as follows:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L31 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L31 device:XXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L11 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L31 device:XXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L23 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L23 device:XXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L22 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L22 device:XXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L21 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L21 device:XXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L01 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L21 device:XXXXXXX

usbdebug.png


If ur device can't boot into Android or still didn't get detected, well, just deactivate the "Device Check" on the "Disclaimer" tab. And follow the description.

[Q:02] I updated to the LxxC432Bxxx/LxxC900Bxxx build, and now my device is shown as L01/L11 what should i do?
1) If u are on LxxC900Bxxx simply flash the LxxC432Bxxx build over it. And proceed with the following part.

2) If u are already on the LxxC432Bxxx, just follow the instructions under Dual-Sim, except the update to the LxxC432Bxxx, and proceed with the upgrade. After that, follow the steps written right under the Upgrade button.

[Q:03] What does the Lxx Cxxx Bxxx mean?
The L21/L22/23/L31 is the device model, the Cxxx is the region/operator identifier and the Bxxx is the build number.

Here is a short list about the regions/operators
ID (Cxxx) = Region/Operator | custom.bin (content)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C02 = Vodafone
C10 = Russia
C21 = Telefonica / O2
C40 = Czech Republic Telefonica / O2
C55 = Italia TIM
C66 = VIPmobile | vip/rs
C86 = Spain Yoigo
C109 = Amena/Orange
C112 = Latin America
C113 = Wind/Italy | wind/it
C121 = Türkei
C123 = Switzerland
C150 = T-Com | dt/de
C151 = India
C185 = North-Africa/Middle-East | hw/meafnaf
C209 = Asia (Pacific)
C212 = Iusacell/Nextel
C249 = Serbia Telekom
C432 = Nordic-European | hw/eu
C470 = Asia (Pacific)
C605 = Colombia
C637 = Spain
C636 = Asia-Pacific | hw/spcseas
C675 = India
C706 = New Zealand
C900 = GLOBAL

More comming soon...

Big THX for some of those "identifier" goes to:
@lost3
@baduncle

[Q:04] I want share my custom.bin & oeminfo, what i need to do?

U can get the files via the "Dual-/Single-SIM -> Export" tab or u can do the following steps (root required).

Open an terminal/cmd prompt and navigate to ur adb installation or the toolkit directory (path/to/the/toolkit/adb) and type the following commands.
Code: 
adb shell
su
cat /data/custom.bin > /storage/emulated/0/custom.bin.bak
dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/storage/emulated/0/oeminfo.img.bak
exit
exit
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/custom.bin.bak custom.bin.bak
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/oeminfo.img.bak oeminfo.img.bak
Now u have 2 files, the custom.bin.bak and the oeminfo.img.bak just zip them and upload them to GoogleDrive or DropBox, etc. and share the link in this thread.

[Q:05] How can i avoid the factory-reset after the boot-loader unlock? (Work only on B130 or below)

1. When u confirmed the dialog with Yes and the device shutdown, start immediately pressing and holding [Vol- Power] until u see the boot-loader screen again. (The device must stay connected to the PC)
2. Now u need to flash the TWRP recovery to avoid the auto factory-reset.
3. Reboot ur device and boot into android with an unlocked boot-loader and without losing ur data.

[Q:06] How can i manually boot into a specific mode?

Bootloader:
[device] = Turn the device off - Connect it to the PC - Press and hold: [Vol-]
[adb] = adb reboot bootloader
[fastboot] = fastboot reboot bootloader

E-Recovery:
[device] = Turn the device off - Connect it to the PC - Press and hold: [Vol+]
[adb] = N/A
[fastboot] = N/A

Recovery:
[device] = Turn the device off - Disconnect it from the PC - Press and hold: [Vol+ Power]
[adb] = adb reboot recovery
[fastboot] = N/A

Normal Boot:
[device] = Power button / Power button menu
[adb] = adb reboot
[fastboot] = fastboot reboot

Update Mode:
[device] = Turn the device off - Disconnect it from the PC - Press and hold [Vol+ Vol- Power]
[adb] = N/A
[fastboot] = N/A

[Q:07] Does the Dual-Sim upgrade survive an OTA?

Yes, the Dual-Sim modification will stay until u flash another oeminfo.

[Q:08] I upgraded to Dual-SIM and there is only one IMEI shown?

That's absolute normal... Because, u had a single-sim device before, so the device hold only one IMEI and the 2cd sim will use the same IMEI as the 1st sim.

[Q:09] How can i craft my own package for the toolkit?

Well, that's pretty simple ;) - Just open a text-editor like notepad++ and create a new xml file with the following content:
Main object
Code: 
<Package xmlns="urn:Package-schema" id="UR_PACKAGE_ID" product="VNS-Lxx" author="UR_NAME">
...
</Package>
Now u can decide what a kind of package u want build:

Single-/Dual-SIM
Code: 
...
<sim>
    <version>LxxCxxxBxxx</version>
    <type>Dual-SIM or Single-SIM</type>
    <custom>custom.bin</custom> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <customMD5>CUSTOM_BIN_MD5</customMD5>
    <oeminfo>oeminfo.img</oeminfo> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <oeminfoMD5>OEMINFO_MD5</oeminfoMD5>
    <author>THE_FILE_PROVIDER</author> [I](The user from which u got the sim settings)[/I]
</sim>
...

Recovery-Stock
Code: 
...
<recovery_stock>
    <version>LxxCxxxBxxx</version>
    <file>recovery_stock.img</file> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <md5>RECOVERY_MD5</md5>
    <author>MANUFACTURER_NAME</author> [I](Should be Huawei)[/I]
</recovery_stock>
...

Recovery-TWRP
Code: 
...
<recovery_twrp>
    <version>Lxx - TWRP x.x.x-x</version>
    <file>recovery_twrp.img</file> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <md5>RECOVERY_MD5</md5>
    <author>MANUFACTURER_NAME</author> [I](Should be the user which compiled the image)[/I]
</recovery_twrp>
...

SuperSu
Code: 
...
<superSu>
    <version>x.xx (xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx) EMUIx.x</version>
    <file>superSu.zip</file> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <md5>SUPERSU_MD5</md5>
    <author>MANUFACTURER_NAME</author> [I](Should be the user which created/modded the zip)[/I]
</superSu>
...

U can use the 4 parts (sim, recovery_stock, recovery_twrp, superSu) all together or u can just build a package which hold only 1 or 2 components. The file it self must be saved as UTF8.

U can use the attached "package.xsd" file to validate ur package.

Now we come to the package structure, create a zip file with the following content:
Code: 
./package.xml
./custom.bin
./oeminfo.img
./recovery_stock.img
./recovery_twrp.img
./superSu.zip
the files may vary, depending on what kind of package u build. Take care that the checksum's match with the provided files. ;)

[Q:10] I get always "Software Update Failed!" what should i do?

First of all, check ur current build number LxxCxxxBxxx after that check the rom/update u downloaded. If ur version is greater/newer as the package u have, u can't install the package. In that case u "can" flash another oeminfo which is from an lower version.

For example: U have an L31C432B160 (device) and a L31C432B130 (package) u can't install this package via the default Huawei recovery, maybe it will work with TWRP (never tested it myself).

How to fix: Get u a package of the current installed firmware or a newer version. Or, downgrade ur oeminfo to a lower version and flash the package u have.

The DualSIM its my method?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

It's the same method as on the P8 Lite, u need an oeminfo.img from an dual-sim device. Then u need a full firmware package which u can flash. I used for example the [Asia-Pacific] coz it was the only firmware available. Now, with the new L31C432B130 update i use this firmware, cos it's the Europe version for the device.

Sebastian

Nice work! Can't be a problem flash a dual sim firmware over a single sim device?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I did the steps my self, on my P9 Lite [Single-Sim] and i had no problems. So far i know, only the oeminfo.img decides which phone u have, a single-sim or dual-sim. Also the [Asia-Pacific] build is a "single-sim" build which has dual-sim functionality inside, coz when u upgrade ur device to dual-sim with this rom, u have a dual-sim rom after the upgrade.

I made the same with the EU rom, reverted back to single-sim, installed the rom and reverted back to dual-sim no issues!

Hope that helps u ;)

Sebastian

false in the P8 Lite no OEMFILE needed... in P8LITE with FULL FIRMWARE its good...
But in P9LITE its needed de "private OEMFILE"...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Well, i'm wrong? Seems u can't read?
Have a look at this thread specialy this post!

PS: If u have ever inspected the oeminfo with an hex-editor, u must had seen that it contains the curver or the verlist img (part wise) from the update package... (the oeminfo is a chunk divided file so far i can see, it includes more as only 1 build info...)

Edit:
Just to respond to ur "Is that my method?" maybe u've got "ur method" from here?^^

Sebastian

Hi Miss Montage,

to end the discussion who invent which "wheel". I can only say the following things, i got my device on 02.07.2016 from t-mobile. Since that day i have read about how to unlock the dual-sim. I also called Huawei Customer Service and spoke there to some technical guys. I have tried my self a lot different ways to get dual-sim unlocked. I started my research here on XDA and on Android-Hilfen (see the links i have already posted, and i have a lot more to read about...). Finally i found a link to this ROM which i used until yesterday and a collection of 2 different oeminfo's on some chinese website. I compared them and don't tried to flash the oeminfo's, coz i don't wanted to brick my device! Then i found this post here on XDA and asked for a partition backup of an dual-sim device, to compare the partitions with mine. And got this response. I compared the file with the both i already had and one of them matched with md5 checksum. So i started research where this file comes from and found after hours this post as linked here.

There i got the confirmation that the file and idea i already had don't brick my device!

So, sry, but i have not copied any other work!
(And if u want say so, then at least ALL CREDITS go to this post coz, there are the logic what u have when to do^^)

I hope that make some things clear...

Regards,
Sebastian

I didn't imply that you stole anything, sorry if my post came across this way. It just happens that two people work on a similar idea and come to similar results ;) I can't check out your tool, I am a linux user and it won't open in Wine.

Can we use this toolkit with VNS-L21?
Click to expand...

Heyho,
nope sry, it's currently only for the L31 coz i can't test the toolkit on the L21 so i included a device check which will only accept the L31.

If u want, i can write up a toolkit for the L21 but in this toolkit i can't add an dual-sim upgrade, coz i have currently no L21-oeminfo from an dual-sim device.

Sebastian

    This project is not longer maintained!
    -
    For a new version of this project (P10 Lite Toolkit) have a look at this thread.

    The latest build of this project is still available.
    ---

    But anyways, i'm not responsible for any damage done to your device!

    Pls, before u upgrade ur single-sim to dual-sim, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
    According to this post i strongly recommend that u check if your device is SIM-unlocked, before u flash any SIM upgrade! It's not guaranteed that u encounter the same issue see this post there were no problems after the unlock on an already flashed device.

    !WARNING!
    According to this post and an personal encounter of that behavior, there are a few devices which ends in an "black screen" after an "dload" based firmware update. - The only solutions to fix this "black screen" problem are currently the "Service-Center" or DC-Phoenix.
    (For the DC-Phoenix solution see this post, there's everything explained and linked.)
    -
    Since i was informed about this problem i searched the web for 2 things...
    1) Why this happens?
    I found no answer so far... (i think, the update script went wrong or something couldn't be written during the update...)

    2) Which devices/builds can encounter this problem?
    So far i saw, its "LxxC02Bxxx", "LxxC440Bxxx" and some other maybe.

    How - To

    [Q:01] My device is not recognized by the toolkit?
    1. Make sure NO adb-server is running!
    2. U need to start ur device in android with enabled USB-Debugging! (see the screenshot)
    (Only in adb mode my toolkit can detect ur device!)
    3. Make sure that u granted adb access on ur device!
    (A popup will appear on the device and asks u to grant access.)
    Try also to restart the toolkit after u granted access on ur device.

    U can also check the device state by opening a cmd/terminal prompt and typing:
    Code: 
    cd path\to\the\toolkit\adb
adb devices -l
    check if ur device is listed as follows:
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L31 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L31 device:XXXXXXX
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L11 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L31 device:XXXXXXX

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L23 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L23 device:XXXXXXX

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L22 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L22 device:XXXXXXX

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L21 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L21 device:XXXXXXX
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device product:VNS-L01 model:HUAWEI_VNS_L21 device:XXXXXXX

    If ur device can't boot into Android or still didn't get detected, well, just deactivate the "Device Check" on the "Disclaimer" tab. And follow the description.

    [Q:02] I updated to the LxxC432Bxxx/LxxC900Bxxx build, and now my device is shown as L01/L11 what should i do?
    1) If u are on LxxC900Bxxx simply flash the LxxC432Bxxx build over it. And proceed with the following part.

    2) If u are already on the LxxC432Bxxx, just follow the instructions under Dual-Sim, except the update to the LxxC432Bxxx, and proceed with the upgrade. After that, follow the steps written right under the Upgrade button.

    [Q:03] What does the Lxx Cxxx Bxxx mean?
    The L21/L22/23/L31 is the device model, the Cxxx is the region/operator identifier and the Bxxx is the build number.

    Here is a short list about the regions/operators
    ID (Cxxx) = Region/Operator | custom.bin (content)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    C02 = Vodafone
    C10 = Russia
    C21 = Telefonica / O2
    C40 = Czech Republic Telefonica / O2
    C55 = Italia TIM
    C66 = VIPmobile | vip/rs
    C86 = Spain Yoigo
    C109 = Amena/Orange
    C112 = Latin America
    C113 = Wind/Italy | wind/it
    C121 = Türkei
    C123 = Switzerland
    C150 = T-Com | dt/de
    C151 = India
    C185 = North-Africa/Middle-East | hw/meafnaf
    C209 = Asia (Pacific)
    C212 = Iusacell/Nextel
    C249 = Serbia Telekom
    C432 = Nordic-European | hw/eu
    C470 = Asia (Pacific)
    C605 = Colombia
    C637 = Spain
    C636 = Asia-Pacific | hw/spcseas
    C675 = India
    C706 = New Zealand
    C900 = GLOBAL

    More comming soon...

    Big THX for some of those "identifier" goes to:

    @baduncle

    [Q:04] I want share my custom.bin & oeminfo, what i need to do?

    U can get the files via the "Dual-/Single-SIM -> Export" tab or u can do the following steps (root required).

    Open an terminal/cmd prompt and navigate to ur adb installation or the toolkit directory (path/to/the/toolkit/adb) and type the following commands.
    Code: 
    adb shell
su
cat /data/custom.bin > /storage/emulated/0/custom.bin.bak
dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/storage/emulated/0/oeminfo.img.bak
exit
exit
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/custom.bin.bak custom.bin.bak
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/oeminfo.img.bak oeminfo.img.bak
    Now u have 2 files, the custom.bin.bak and the oeminfo.img.bak just zip them and upload them to GoogleDrive or DropBox, etc. and share the link in this thread.

    [Q:05] How can i avoid the factory-reset after the boot-loader unlock? (Work only on B130 or below)

    1. When u confirmed the dialog with Yes and the device shutdown, start immediately pressing and holding [Vol- Power] until u see the boot-loader screen again. (The device must stay connected to the PC)
    2. Now u need to flash the TWRP recovery to avoid the auto factory-reset.
    3. Reboot ur device and boot into android with an unlocked boot-loader and without losing ur data.

    [Q:06] How can i manually boot into a specific mode?

    Bootloader:
    [device] = Turn the device off - Connect it to the PC - Press and hold: [Vol-]
    [adb] = adb reboot bootloader
    [fastboot] = fastboot reboot bootloader

    E-Recovery:
    [device] = Turn the device off - Connect it to the PC - Press and hold: [Vol+]
    [adb] = N/A
    [fastboot] = N/A

    Recovery:
    [device] = Turn the device off - Disconnect it from the PC - Press and hold: [Vol+ Power]
    [adb] = adb reboot recovery
    [fastboot] = N/A

    Normal Boot:
    [device] = Power button / Power button menu
    [adb] = adb reboot
    [fastboot] = fastboot reboot

    Update Mode:
    [device] = Turn the device off - Disconnect it from the PC - Press and hold [Vol+ Vol- Power]
    [adb] = N/A
    [fastboot] = N/A

    [Q:07] Does the Dual-Sim upgrade survive an OTA?

    Yes, the Dual-Sim modification will stay until u flash another oeminfo.

    [Q:08] I upgraded to Dual-SIM and there is only one IMEI shown?

    That's absolute normal... Because, u had a single-sim device before, so the device hold only one IMEI and the 2cd sim will use the same IMEI as the 1st sim.

    [Q:09] How can i craft my own package for the toolkit?

    Well, that's pretty simple ;) - Just open a text-editor like notepad++ and create a new xml file with the following content:
    Main object
    Code: 
    <Package xmlns="urn:Package-schema" id="UR_PACKAGE_ID" product="VNS-Lxx" author="UR_NAME">
...
</Package>
    Now u can decide what a kind of package u want build:

    Single-/Dual-SIM
    Code: 
    ...
<sim>
    <version>LxxCxxxBxxx</version>
    <type>Dual-SIM or Single-SIM</type>
    <custom>custom.bin</custom> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <customMD5>CUSTOM_BIN_MD5</customMD5>
    <oeminfo>oeminfo.img</oeminfo> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <oeminfoMD5>OEMINFO_MD5</oeminfoMD5>
    <author>THE_FILE_PROVIDER</author> [I](The user from which u got the sim settings)[/I]
</sim>
...

    Recovery-Stock
    Code: 
    ...
<recovery_stock>
    <version>LxxCxxxBxxx</version>
    <file>recovery_stock.img</file> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <md5>RECOVERY_MD5</md5>
    <author>MANUFACTURER_NAME</author> [I](Should be Huawei)[/I]
</recovery_stock>
...

    Recovery-TWRP
    Code: 
    ...
<recovery_twrp>
    <version>Lxx - TWRP x.x.x-x</version>
    <file>recovery_twrp.img</file> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <md5>RECOVERY_MD5</md5>
    <author>MANUFACTURER_NAME</author> [I](Should be the user which compiled the image)[/I]
</recovery_twrp>
...

    SuperSu
    Code: 
    ...
<superSu>
    <version>x.xx (xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx) EMUIx.x</version>
    <file>superSu.zip</file> [I](The real filename)[/I]
    <md5>SUPERSU_MD5</md5>
    <author>MANUFACTURER_NAME</author> [I](Should be the user which created/modded the zip)[/I]
</superSu>
...

    U can use the 4 parts (sim, recovery_stock, recovery_twrp, superSu) all together or u can just build a package which hold only 1 or 2 components. The file it self must be saved as UTF8.

    U can use the attached "package.xsd" file to validate ur package.

    Now we come to the package structure, create a zip file with the following content:
    Code: 
    ./package.xml
./custom.bin
./oeminfo.img
./recovery_stock.img
./recovery_twrp.img
./superSu.zip
    the files may vary, depending on what kind of package u build. Take care that the checksum's match with the provided files. ;)

    [Q:10] I get always "Software Update Failed!" what should i do?

    First of all, check ur current build number LxxCxxxBxxx after that check the rom/update u downloaded. If ur version is greater/newer as the package u have, u can't install the package. In that case u "can" flash another oeminfo which is from an lower version.

    For example: U have an L31C432B160 (device) and a L31C432B130 (package) u can't install this package via the default Huawei recovery, maybe it will work with TWRP (never tested it myself).

    How to fix: Get u a package of the current installed firmware or a newer version. Or, downgrade ur oeminfo to a lower version and flash the package u have.

    That sucks. How long have you had the device?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Heyho,
    i got my device on 02.07.2016 (d/m/y) from t-mobile, so the device is a bit older as an year.
    (Also, i never used another charger as the original one... And this one head up to 40-50° since ~5 days... Seems that the charger and the battery is made from really cheap material... When i got my new battery i'll made a vid of the disassemble and finally, how it looks when this battery will get "shorted", if it catches fire or not.)

    Update:
    I just got my new battery, super fast deliver!!! ;)

    Edit:
    Based on the bad video codec which the cam has, i added some images from the "disassembly". The video about the battery, explosion or not, comes in the next days. I spoke to a friend which has a professional cam, he will film it this weekend.

    Edit 2:
    Little hint: I used a "carpet-cutter-blade" (not the "rake-blade", the "straight" one) to remove the NFC-Antenna (the white "plastic-pad").
    !!! IMPORTANT !!!
    If u use a blade like me, be really carefully with it, if u "stipple" the battery with the blade, it can explode instantly! U can also use a "fan / hairdryer" to head it up that u can "hopefully" remove the antenna. I didn't used a fan because, i didn't want expose the already damaged battery to such an direct heat-source.

    Regards,
    Sebastian
