So I successful managed to rebrand my Indian Honor 6X (BLN-L22) to European Honor 6X (BLN-L21). This enabled me to use frequency band supported by EU version of the phone.
Following are the steps I followed:
1. Unlocked Bootloader : https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-honor-6x-t3535321
2. Flash Custom Recovery:
i. Download TWRP for EMUI 4.1 or EMUI 5.0: https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/stock-recoveries-honor-6x-bln-l21-blnc00-t3632440
ii. In the folder where you have the twrp.img file (name may vary), shift+right click to open cmd prompt.
> adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever is the name of your twrp img file)
3. Download Huawei Multi Tools and backup your oeminfo
4. Download oeminfo flashable zip attached with this post. Currently only EU and India are available. Request other users to share oeminfo of other regions
5. Using Firmware Finder, download the Stock ROM for the desired region. There will be two files, one update.zip file and another region specific file. Download both. Note: Only download Full Ota.
6. Extract the update.zip file and paste the UPDATE.APP file in a folder called "dload" inside an external sd card. Also copy the oeminfo zip file and region specific update zip file to an external sd card
7. Reboot to TWRP and flash oeminfo.zip
8. After oeminfo is flashed. Shutdown the phone and restart by holding vol up + vol down + power. You will enter update page and stock rom will be installed.
9. Once installed, you need to re-install TWRP recovery by following steps 1 and 2.
10. Finally, reboot to TWRP and install region specific update file.
You have now successfully debranded/ rebranded your Honor 6X
