I just recently got a P9 lite, but haven't read into modding it, much so far. Just found your Tool and thought it might be my start getting into modding the device.

I am wondering if there is any way to manually do all the steps the tool does, with adb over Linux?

As far as what I could find out so far, it is not possible to de-brand my device without unlocking the boot loader, right?

Well as I'm eventually going to root the device and potentially end up installing custom Roms, I would have to do this anyway. (It just feels wrong to break warranty on the first day :))
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

sure it's possible to get this manually done ;)

I'll write up a little pdf for u and link it then also in the OP.

I successfully used your toolkit to flash my single sim L31 (South Africa - MTN) to Dual sim b161.

Got stuck because it would stop at 5% and say incorrect etc - then read the post where you said to use the stock recovery and it worked.

[MENTION=1460564]wakaru[/MENTION]

Your instructions on SA version also helped.

Just note, First flashed b131, both sim slots were active but they wouldnt recognise the sims - it would cycle through "MTN" (my provider) and "no sim" in the status bar. Then flashed b160 and both are active and working now.
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

THX for the warm words ;)

-

But i have one question, after u flashed the oeminfo, u flashed also the B131 again? Or does u started directly in android and had a look on the dual-sim settings?

Because u must reflash the Bxxx after u flashed the oeminfo, otherwise the sim's will never get detected. ;)

[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gabika1941:
Hai,

I'm thinking about trying this. but i ran into a little problem. I can't even request an unlock code, it always says "Enter the correct IMEI number, serial number, and that ID number", even though i entered everything correctly. I've sent an e-mail to the address which was mentioned in the tool, currently waiting for the response.

Btw, this device is dependent to a carrier. If i ever unlock the dual-sim function, would it work with cards other than "my" carrier? Or can i even unlock the dual sim function on it?

Sorry if my questions are stupid, i have never owned a Huawei before.

Thanks!

[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rodga:
Honestly, I'm not sure hey, it happened over 2 nights as I was stuck on the 5% thing for a while before finding out that I needed the stock recovery. Was literally reading and trying a bunch of things. So I might have got steps in the wrong order.

I have another one in my possession, which will also be getting the dual sim love in the next few days.
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

that's sad to hear... I also can't get unlock-codes atm... Seems the site have maybe again some problems.

-

About the dual-sim, when u activate it, it's still locked to the carrier which it's currently locked to, but u can use 2 of their sim-cards. When u unlock the device to all carriers, the dual-sim will also usable with other carriers. ;)

Hehe ;)

If u can, would be nice when u check this on ur next attempt ;) - So i can change the "steps" if there is really something wrong with the B130 build.

Hello,

I have a P9 Lite from Vodafone Germany (C02). I have Cross-flashed a L31-C432B150 Firnware, then i was on C900B150.

The Toolkit says it´s an L11. Then I have flash the C432B130 from the Toolkit and it says its an L11 again.

Can i go on with unlock the Bootloader / Root / ... Aktivate Dual Sim??

Or what i have to do first?

MfG

How could i get the dual-sim working, if i already have CM installed?

Heyho,

I never tested to upgrade to dual-sim via CM... I can only tell u, when u flash the oeminfo and reboot, the 1st boot will not detect any sim, when u flash then the huawei stock B130/131/160/161 the device will do some steps during the upgrade which reactivate the sim detection.

-

So maybe u end with CM and the upgrade in an "non sim detection bug".

the L11 is "normal" have a look at this post (Q:1) there are the known detection "bugs" L01 = L21 - L11 = L31.

If u have the C432B130/131 or C432B160/161 already installed, u can flash the oeminfo (root required), after that follow the steps written in the 2 tabs below the "upgrade" button.

Hope i could help u ;)

Regards,

Sebastian
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] JediDevil:
Okay, i think I have understand it.

After Bootloader unlock -> Twrp -> Root -> Flash Stock Recovery -> i place the b160 files in the dload folder and follow the steps on the Dual Sim Tab.

After then, I can relock the Bootloader?

Gesendet von meinem HUAWEI VNS-L31 mit Tapatalk
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

yup exactly, but u normally don't need to re-lock the bootloader because, after the last flash of the FW the TWRP, root and unlocked bootloader will be removed. The device is then in "original" state with dual-sim activated.

So am i basically screwed right now? I really don't like emui, that's why i use CM.... (Meticulus's build)

The menus in CM have a dual-sim toggle, does it mean that i could enable both cards somehow? Or they just meant only for the dual-sim variants of the device?

Both cards are on the same carrier, same carrier as the phone.

Sorry for the dumb questions?

Thanks!
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

pls read the maybe last 6 posts b4 urs^^ there is the solution.

ok, so u were already on the B16x build right? (That u tried to downgrade to B13x)

(If so, then i'll align the guide to the new FW, i also rewrote nearly the complete code and made the kit more modular, i included now a "packet based system", this shrink the size to 35 MB + needed packet)

My suggestion is, get back to stock C432B13x/16x enable dual-sim and go back to CM ;)

-

Then dual-sim is enabled and correctly patched during the FW flash and u have the CM with working dual-sim.

This is a new phone I'm trying to get dual sim working on. The phone is currently on L31C16B120, I can't flash b130. It stops at 5% then gives the error message I posted earlier.

I had the same problem with the first phone but I'm not sure what I did to get it to work.
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

hmm that sounds strange, here is what u can try, what i would try:

1) check the zip if it's really the L31 not the L21 :p

2) check if u really disconnected the USB-cable during the update (with cable it give an error but i doesn't remember which)

-- if the 2 previous steps doesn't helped

1) root the device, flash the stock recovery, upgrade to dual-sim (with the current build)

(save the created backup!)

2) try to install the C432B130 now

---------

Rollback if something went wrong:

1) root the current rom, maybe it's removed by an factory-reset

2) flash the stock recovery (C432B130, normally it doesn't matter)

3) flash the created backup via Dual-Sim -> individual

4) reboot and do a factory-reset

5) now everything should be normal, but this works only when the update doesn't installs

If the update installs with the C432 oeminfo u can't get back to L31C16B120 without matching FW package. When u flash your old oeminfo on the C432 build the build number will change to C900.

Hope i could help u ;)

I never used this tool and in theory I'm right now on VNS-L21C432b336.

If I go back to VNS-L21C432b130 I then want to change C to 66, I need to ROOT and flash oem and custom info after that. When phone resets I need to have update.app from c66b130 in dload folder and flash it?

After that I'll have new c66?
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

if u want go back to C66 u need the matching oeminfo & custom.bin for this provider. Then u flash the C66 rom this will change the build to C900, after that u root the device and flash the C66 oeminfo & custom.bin, reboot, factory-reset, now u flash the C66 rom again and u should be on the C66 with correct build number.

I still don't understand it good. for example VNS-L21C66B152 I download update.zip and flash it via twrp? then go to your program and flash oem and cust, and install twrp again and flash update.zip thru twrp again?

Damn some video tutorial would be a life savior :/

I must reflash that ****ty c 66 to restore warranty
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

during the fact that u are on android 7 (beta) u need to rollback to android 6. (Here on XDA are some guides how to archive this)

After that u can revert back to C66, normally u flash the update.app via the huawei stock recovery, the old (1st available) TWRP can't flash the update.app, maybe Meticulus TWRP can flash it.

Hi guys,

I have a similar problem with my Huawei P9 Lite like the quoted obove.

I can not log into my Google account on the phone. I already did a factory reset serveral times with no success. Also I tried to add the Google account manually in the options menu. It pops up for about 1 sec with the following message "data are checked" and the it disappears and I'm on my homescreen again. Same with PlayStore.

All other functions work perfetcly, also I can install apps manual without PlayStore.

After a little bit of research it should be a phone from T-Mobile Austria.

Specs:

Android 6.0

Build Nummer: VNS-L31C150B161

There is a german thread that says this fault appears because the device is branded.

First question: has someone a similar problem?

Second question: do I have the following options:

Call Huawei Customer Service and hope that they will change my device.

Call T-Mobile Austria and hope they will change my device (problem I have just the IMEI and no invoice)

Buy a T-Mobile Austria SIM and try to activate the google account (one guy in the german thread says this option works)

or last option root the device with root kit and do an alternative ROM? Like the international unbranded for example (but with full lost of warranty, right?)

So guys hope u can help me or give me a hint what else I can try.

Thanks a lot.
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

that sounds bad... My self doesn't experienced this bug.

-

U can try to fix this prob via Huawei customer service, so far i heard, they are really helpful.

-

About the C432 rom, when u unlock ur device and convert it to an "open device",

so far i know

, u'll lose only warranty for software damages, but the warranty for "hardware issues" like broken button, mic, screen, etc. will stay intact.

-

I also don't think that they will punish u when u flash the "open Huawei" software. Because, i have another member which had an broken bootloader after unlocking and flashing the C432, the Huawei customer service had no problems with that and allowed him to send the device for repair, for free.

Hope i could help u ;)
