That´s your bad, there are plenty of warnings in the tutorial ;) If you had a L09C432, it should be possible. Your sim failure on the other hand says otherwise.
Seems you had branded one, then you can only revert back to this one, but i know for fact, that providers sometimes change something depending on the builddate of the device in the oeminfo, even if it´s the same model.
So you only have a choice, if someone has a backup from the same series.
As I cannot judge on the situation from @pepe_lodz, as he has his phone from Tmobile, I have repeatedly reported the same issue with my unbranded L09.
I did not purchase it from a provider, but from a european Huawei phone reseller, which came with a L09C432 rom.

But yes, also I did not do a backup of the original oeminfo. My own mistake of course.

The issue persists no matter which L09C432 oeminfo is tried, and believe me, I have tried nearly every one of them available on the internet.


If you are really sure you had a L09C432, then try to replace the update_all_hw.zip in the folder hwota\update (Important: You have to use the new one - B180 !!) with this one: update_full_VTR-L09_hw_eu.zip and rename it again to to update_all_hw.zip. Be sure you set your option in the os, that shows you the suffix. Otherwise you might end up with a update_all_hw.zip.zip ;)
Run the script again.
Tried it as well, but to no avail. Rebranding back from L29 to L09, even with the update you supplied, does not fix the current issues:

1. Simcard recognition failure
- workaround is to remove the Simlock code, though for people who want complete security this is a crappy option as the Simlock code cannot be reenabled again unless you want recognition problems.

2. "Settings" still shows "Dual Sim Management" options after reverting back to L09, even with original oeminfo.
- no workaround


It would be great if someone with the technical knowledge was able to make a project out of this and at least find the direct cause, if not a permanent solution :)
Someone who is willing to do a rebrand back to L09 using only a oeminfo file and the B180 rom (or even a previous rom), and NOT using their own full backup ;)

I have a question. Works for your service Cloud? Because for me not working on my rebranding P10 L29C432B171 and on original no branding P10 Plus VKY-L29C432B177. On all show that service Cloud is not available for your region and if I want more info write to [email protected]

WHY?

Questions!
When I update the system with twrp and the 3 update files?
Is the bootloader open or closed after that?
Which update files should I take to update from B179 to B180? Full or Ota?
Will I lost data with the update?
What happens with twrp after the update?
Is it away?

I rebranded my L09 to L29 with Rom B180 and on this Rom not working for me in my country Android Pay. I get in that room is rooted or I have write custom Rom. I back to service B164 and the from Ota update to B171 and Android Pay works OK.
When I check by Firmware Finder this Rom B180 is not available for my Imei.

And also check newer rom B175 and B179 and he also is not available for my Imei. Now latest I have B171 from OTA.

Tell me original L29 has two Imei number?
Because rebranded L09 to L29 has only one Imei.

Seems the B180 isn´t approved for every device, i linked the Hwota B179 in the mainpost. Recheck again with firmwarefinder, there are 2 FullOTA´s of B179, on of them is approved, at least on of my Vodafone branded devices with B171.

I checked and on all 2 full Ota show me that it is for VTR-L09C432B179
No show that it is for L29C432B179.

How I can download and update this Rom but without delete user data on phone? As by Ota but not by Firmware Finder. Because by firmware Finder I use proxy and start download firmware after some step stop download and problem with download... Is other solution to update without reset and delete my data?

In Firmware Finder, did you turn off your manual proxy settings after the download started (press pause at 1% or so and resume when you restored your default wifi settings)?

No i still try download to 100 % with setup proxy.

1. start firmware finder
2. choose the firmware (and check with imei to be sure)
3. hit in app proxy and setup the proxy with localhost in your wifi settings.
4. check for the update in systemupdate and start the update and pause it quickly
5. delete the proxy in your wifi settings.
6. resume the update

Hi Pepe. How did you managed to make Android Pay work? Which was your original brand? In my case, it was the Chinese version of Huawei P10. Android Pay didn't work in Europe because it seems that it detects your region. Then, I changed my ROM and it doesn't work because (as you said), it detects that I have root, bootloader unlocked or customized ROM...

Thanks.
