I did, see the log below.

Do I flash only the customization file this time or both again?

I installed Firmware finder and did a manual search for L09C432 and found some upgrades, but maybe that won't help?

I can see VIE-L09C432B381, by the way. From 2018.01.30

If u click on Check Firmware Access u can see that it's not approved.

Try B380 FullOTA-MF with Dns method, but when it finds the Firmware in Updater to not press update. Press on the 3 dots in upper right corner and choose Download Latest Full Packege. Then resume the upgrade.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtfulCodger:
Absolutely no problem thank you for that yes I think I got the wrong package trying again using your advice...thanks.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Punchlinern:
While waiting for your reply I did some digging on my own and found that I could flash the customization file in TWRP (which I'm intending to install anyway, to root the phone).

But maybe your method is faster?

I don't understand how I should do it, though. When I've clicked on the update in the list I see some options (Download, Check Firmware Access, Get update through DNS and In-app Proxy). I also see the 3 dots, but when I press them I only have 2 share options.

Should I download before pressing 3 dots?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Here is a guide for DNS method.

1. Select the firmware that you want to install, check if it is available for installation.

2. If the firmware is available for installation, click 'Get an Update through DNS'.

3. Click 'Registr update', then 'Change DNS', confirm the launch of the VPN. The key symbol will appear in the status bar and message in notification bar.

4. Go to Settings->Update and check the availability of the update.

5. For FullOTA firmware, you need to click the 'Download full package' button in the Updates menu, for OTA actions is not required.

6. Compare the firmware size in Fimrware Finder and in the Update application, it should be approximately the same.

7. Confirm the installation of the update. Disconnect the VPN as soon as the download begins.

8. The device will reboot at 100% load.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Punchlinern:
Okay, so just to be sure, I can do this even without fixing the test-key-thing?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Not sure it will fix it, if it wont upgrade it will fail at 5% and reboot. And nothing will install.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Punchlinern:
Okay! It's downloading now.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Punchlinern:
The update finished and it's on EMUI 5.0.1 now, but still NRD90M test-keys.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
U have a broken cust, but i saw a solution, u need to go back to MM, in Download on Dc Unlocker u have B181, flash i the same way u did before but also flash the other files. hw_eu, hw_normal, hw_default and dt_default.

Try with hw_eu first toghether with the firmware B181.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Punchlinern:
Okay! Just to make sure I understand correctly:

I try first with B181 & hw_eu, and then check if the problem is fixed.

Only if it isn't I keep trying with the other files, one at a time with B181?

I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for all your help so far!
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Yes thats correct.

Im not sure but maby u can flash them all at the same time or u have to do them one by one?

Try some options.

[MENTION=4876367]Mostar088[/MENTION]....thank you for your assistance my P9 Plus is now VIE-L29C636B362...and telling me new updates are available. Although the update it is telling me about appears to just be B362 again...do I let it update again...or use FF to get an OTA ...in fact can I just go to the most recent security patch?

...Removed the FF DNS entry and the Update to B362 it was telling me about disappeared...
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Nice to hear it worked :good:

U can allways go direct to the latest security patch if u use FullOta firmware in Firmware Finder, allways check if your imei is approved for upgrade. Latest approved for your phone is B387.

Do you recive OTA now on your phone?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtfulCodger:
Doesn't appear to want to show any available updates... yes know about checking whether the update is approved via FF....great to know I don't need to do all the intervening OTA updates...will try for B387 later today...thanks for your time...again.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Punchlinern:
My friend was to eager to have his phone back to let me try anything more, and he's happy with how it is now. So I'm done for now.

That is the problem. Where can I find the the HW folder for L29C636 firmware?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
No idea. I am afraid. Ill have a look around for you later
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxapp:
thx

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Thanks for your help.

It didn't work. The link you posted only has update.app. I cannot find the HW folder which can be used for ROM L29C636.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] MADBIRZ:
I found out that when you add "/filelist.xml" at the end of the firmware link instead of "/update.zip", ex: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1163/g104/v56682/f1/full/filelist.xml you can see that there are many files in the directory along with the hw, but I didn't find a way to download them yet..

Guess I figured it out! you should add "hw/[region code from the filelist link]/[file name from filelist link]"

ex: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...ll/hw/meafnaf/update_data_full_hw_meafnaf.zip

Didn't figure out how to use them though..
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxapp:
Thank you.

I will try and give you the feedback.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
Okay now I am confused I thought the Hw file that I linked works for the L29C636 firmware ro restore themes.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mR.fR34ky:
It restores themes but I think its from the c432 .. so only for eu
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxapp:
u can try it. I am not sure if it is the problem of my P9 plus.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
Is the c636 Asia or Global?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] somboons:
I wi update on OP
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
The HW files have a folder called eu, try to rename that to asia see if it works.

I cannot test it right now as my internet is very slow and I need my phone 100% running.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Do not rename it to asia, you have to rename it to specseas. And the files in the hw map that has eu in the filename rename it to specseas insted of eu.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxapp:
It is working. I get my themes back now. Thx.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Great :good:
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
Great, how did you find out about this ?

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

So you just renamed the folder to specseas

and the update_data_hw_eu to update_data_hw_specseas ?

Can you check if magazine unlock is working ?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxapp:
Yes, the magazine unlock is working too. You need to rename both the folder and the file.

Actually this folder contains apps that pre-installed. Added four more apps compare with the aisa version. It is not perfect but it is working.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
Well at the end of the day I need the magazine unlock working hence the themes also need to work. so it adds 4 more apps that are not on the Asia version but nothing else is missing. You flashed via power+vol up+vol down ?

I tried it now I still dont have the themes..
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
I will upload the hw folder to C636 when i get home tonight so u csn use the original hw folder.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
Original from Asia or just renamed from EU ?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxapp:
I used *#*#2846579#*#* via SD card.

I still cannot download online themes. But the local themes are working.

P9 on O2 (UK).

After months of waiting for an update (although I did briefly get an update, that failed to work, so factory reset and it's never been offered since) I searched and found a thread on O2 forums. Firmware finder finds B393, with three downloads, update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and EVA-L09_ee_gb/update_full_EVA-L09_ee_gb.zip. I assume all I need are the first two, but would be grateful for confirmation before I commit.

In your dload folder do you only have the update.app and hw folder or did you also leave the dt folder?

does your hw folder look like this ?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxapp:
Only update.app and hw folder in the dload folder and all default/normal/specseas folders in hw folder.

BTW, I can see the online themes option now after I insert my sim card.

[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostar088:
Put the hw folder and update.app in dload folder on sd card. Type *#*#2846579#*#* on your phone. Choose option 4 and upgrade from sd card. You dont need to rename the folder and files, that is original for C636.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
I deleted the dt folder.

That is what I did, I have the hw folder and the update.app in the dload folder and used the dialer to update, I dont have the original C636 that is just the EU renamed. Have you posted the original C636 files?

The method I used to fix the issue is via the debranding tool, it has a utility to restore the themes back to /data then I unrooted, restored stock recovery then reflashed the firmware via 3 buttons to relock the phone with out losing the themes.

I will will grab that C636B103 once it has the HWfolder for future reference.
