Hi all, i found all newest firmwares on: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=VTR-L09

Be carefull!
Because now iam stuck with only working fastboot and recovery. For my model (i only know what i own VTR-L09 device, but nothing more about operator, or brand) none of these FW can not be installed through "dload" folder from sdcard and iam bricked my phone trying to install wrong files using Fastboot.

And if somebody know and can tell how can write different brand, or operator firmware to phone i would be very grateful.

Maybe someone know how to restore P10 to working stage when only works Fastboot and Recovery, but nothing of these methods not working:
1. Restore from eRecovery, because no firmware list for device not found.
2. Restore from HiSuite because at the moment this model does not supported.
3. Dload updates from SD/OTG because of EMUI 5.1 security rules.

I try this FW "VTR-L09C432B113_v78079_f1", but same result "Software install failed!" on 5%.
You may understand firmware code structure? Is Cxxx number show brand/operator, or Bxxx number? Can You explain to me firmware code structure? :)

For example this firmware "VTR-L09C432B113", has 3 parts in name..
  • Model: VTR-L09
  • Part-1: C432
  • Part-2: B113
...and these parameters...
  • G:1473
  • g:104
  • v:78079
  • f:1

Model: VTR-L09

C is Cust that is the region, like C432 is EU, C185 is Middle East Africa, C636 is Asia, then there is some branded custs like Vodafone C02 etc.....

B is Build for the Firmware, higher build is newer Firmware.

Then u can only flash a FULL firmware, u cant flash OTA.

L09 is singel sim.
L29 is dual sim.

VTR is P10 model
EVA is P9
VIE is P9 Plus
Etc.....

OTA can be with two different types Full or Update. For full OTA images is it impossible to extract Update.app file to SD card or OTG "dload" folder and install it? Like it done in this post http://rootmygalaxy.net/how-to-manually-install-ota-updates-on-huawei-devices/?

No u cant, u can extract it but it will fail on update. U must have a FULL firmware to do it, and it has to be signed by Huawei before u can update. The only solution is a paid solution that i sent to u on PM.

I just received a notification that a newer system has been downloaded to my phone, ready to install. The files were stored in /data/update/HwOUC/81703 and has 3 zip files:

Code:
HWVTR:/data/update/HwOUC/81703 # ls -l

Hey,
I have found the full images for European Model on a page (sorry, can't share the link due to forum restrictions just yet. I googled for
Code:
"vtr-l09C432" full
and picked the russian page from the results.)
I am currently downloading VTR-L09C432B123 OTA FULL, because I had somehow lost my camera app, and will try to reflash it using the dload method.
The page downloads the update from the official huawei update mirrors, so I feel much more comfortable with this approach than with the paid options.

Update currently failing as my only micro SD card is formatted FAT32, and the update.app file is 4GB

Are you saying you had a VTR-L09C432 (I saw that earlier in another post of yours) and flashed some magic, and now have a dual sim phone?
It can show dual sim feature but he still cant use it without a second​ imei number. So in Settings it shows u have dual sim but u cant use it.

Two quotes, two anwsers:
Yes and no.
I have now enabled dual sim on my VTR-L09C432 - I can make a pic of my package if you don't believe :D

But I can use it only as Dual Sim Standby. That means, I have both sims active and can make calls with both sims. Internet is working with only one sim which I can choose from settings.
I used it the last 3 days and it worked good. I have my private sim with internet enabled in slot 1 and my sim for work, which is only for calls, in slot 2.
I can make calls using both sims, but when I'm in a call and someone tries to call me on my other sim, the provider tells him, I'm currently not available.

The only thing I can't do is using internet from SIM1 while calling with SIM2.
But this is a thing, I can, personally, live with.

Now I'm interested to know, how the L29 naturally works. Are there two IMEIs?

EDIT:
Screenshot of Dual Sim settings, screenshot of call protocoll, photo of package with phone.
And yes, where I live is nearly no signal - thanks Vodafone! It's a big city in Germany an there's no signal...

There must be a hidden imei in the hardware?, sounds crazy. The L29 comes with 2 imei. Can u check in Developer Menu if u have 2 imei, dail *#*#2846579#*#*
