Please help me!!!! Bootloop!!!

This is alot to deal with so please bear with me,

about 4 or 5 weeks ago i manually updated my p9 lite vnsl31 to emui 5 (european version) using twrp (emui4 version) for the update.app and then revolution recovery for the vns file.

twrp is the only one that can flash the update.app for some reason and revolution recover is the only one that flashes the data files:rolleyes:

so for the first week it ran just fine, then out of the blue it stopped connecting to my pc, i first though hardware error but i saw an unsolved problem on xda with the exact same situation. so i waited for wifi data to download the origianal stock firmware but me being me i didnt want to re lock my bootloader (found this thread to help me do that) just so i could use more wifi on an OTA, so i used firmware finder to get the new software and because my software was/is carrier locked(if not that, its the one with a custom boot screen with carriers name), my friend had the vns- l31 middle Africa software which i should have used in the first place but didnt, so i found his software (still both of us on vnsl31) and downloaded it using firmware finder.

i then booted into revolution recovery and new that it wouldn't flash the update.app (still in zip format, no extraction). so me thinking i was clever tried to flash the marshmallow twrp and have soft bricked my phone, all the fixes so far require pc connection (which my phone wont connect for some reason),

i also tried the dload method but it stops at 5% with an error and i know why, its the wrong file type for my phone (vns - l31

cxxx

) and i dont know my version any more and cant afford to download countless files with no succession,

THANKS IF U TOOK THE TIME TO READ THIS, PLEASE HELP ME, I REALLY HAVE TO FIX THIS </3:crying:

ive been struggling for 3 days now. I CANT ACCESS TWRP. please help

ive flashed mutliple versions of it, to no avail. it either gets into Erecovery or the 3 option screen

ive tried all key combination, everyone says vol up + power. (with the phone shut down). some said with cable plugged, others without. either way, IT DIDNT WORK.

i have no clue what to do anymore . i have L21C432_DS

EDIT:

nevermind, i was probably hitting all the wrong combinations. i was able to get into custom recovery with adb reboot recovery .

now im getting "c:\adb>adb sideload SUPERSU.ZIP

Hallo Sebastian,

Hab ein problem mit meinem p9 lite.

Das Smartphone hab ich gebrickt gekauft und mit DC phoenix wieder zum laufen gebracht. Leider hab ich jetzt die C900 Firmware drauf und in der Region einstellung ist nur Englisch und Chinese. Den Bootloader kann ich nicht unlocken der code funktioniert nicht und dc unlocker erkennt das Gerät nicht. Im fastboot wir es erkannt als device mit sn nr. 0123456789abcd.

Gib es eine Möglichkeit twrp zu installieren? Oder eine andere rom?

Danke im vor raus

Heyho,

that all what i explained in the "Root" tab in the TK... So next time, u should read the guide first.^^

to flash the TWRP or any other file via fastboot, u need an unlocked bootloader. Try to unlock ur device with the TK. The "original" unlock code u can request at Huawei (linked in the TK).

- (German Translation) -- Btw. du solltest die Fragen in eng. & ger. schreiben, siehe XDA regeln

Um das TWRP oder irgend eine andere Datei via fastboot zu flashen muss der Bootloader entsperrt sein. Du kannst versuchen den Bootlaoder mit dem TK zu entsperren. Den "originalen" unlock code bekommst du direkt von Huawei (linked im TK)

Hallo Sebastian, I have a peculiar problem. I have installed android from the dialer update app, but seemingly with the wrong android variant. Now I can't root the phone, put custom recovery or change the oem info so I can receive OTA updates. You can see the picture below for information. Can you please help me so I can coordinate oeminfos and build version? Thank you so much!

lol , you are right. i wouldnt have known. your wording communicates to my intuition that you dont have a solution.

i would suggest adding a solution first and explaining details after if at all
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

based on the img, u need to re-unlock ur bootloader. After that u can flash the TWRP and root the device ;)

-

I don't know which device u have... So, i can't tell u which oeminfo and rom u should flash.

hehe ;)

-

But u posting on "Software" thread... So at least u should use the software from the thread before u post any problems. Because if u would have used the TK before ur post, u would have seen the root tab and the explanations.

Reset failed

Hi guys,

it is my first time, updating firmware and root-ing.

Currently I have the following issues. (VNS-L31C02B125)

-my pc does not always recognize my device, it charges only (I have set it to HiSuite for background, Developer is enabled, as well as USB-debug)

-I copied the L31C432B130/dload/UPDATE.APP onto my device/Internal Storage. Is this the correct path? As my phone does not recognize the update, thus just restarting to Vodafone, but with no restore present.

Any help will be greatly appreciated to get my phone set up with dual capability.

EDIT

Just to explain what I have done.

-LC31C432 loaded into toolkit package

-Bootloader unlocked

-L31C432B130 copied directly under internal storage

-*update/reset failed

Regards,

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

u should place the update.app into an "dload" folder on the internal storage/sd-card. Only in an "dload" folder the update will be found and executed.

Regards,

Sebastian
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hen3-ZA:
Thank you Sebastian, really appreciate the quick response.

Any information regrading the USB connection, that does not always work? Or a work around? This problem is keeping me from going further, as I can't get my phone to connect.
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

np ;)

-

Sounds like a broken cable(?) i had a similar issue with an "very cheap" 5m usb cable, i got a well working connection when i had around 50% battery left with lesser i got a frequently re-connecting bug... So, i would try another cable/port/pc.

Regards,

Sebastian
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hen3-ZA:
Appreciated ?

You really are smart.

Have tried original cable and various other cables. They work on other phones. But I will push on through and give a update as soon as I have it sorted.

Thanks again for the help and effort you put into this.

Based on the "device" specific problem, get u a "ear cleaner stick" (don't know the english word for it) press the cotton piece of it so flat as u can and try to clean the micro-usb port of ur device. (Be really careful, because u can break the little plastic connector - And don't use water or any other kind of liquid, just with the dry cotton part)

Software install failed

Sorry if this is a dumb question, still learning the in's and out's:confused:

-Got phone connected

-dload/UPDATE.APP directly in internal storage

-3 button method

-software install failed "incompatibility with current version"

Am I using the wrong software? Phone is currently single sim, and I'm trying to convert it to dual sim. Should I use the SS or DS download to flash?
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

u need the DS package, this contains the oeminfo & custom.bin also the needed twrp and stock recovery.

-

If u haven't flashed the oeminfo already and still on the "preparation", u can skip the 1st flash of the FW. Just unlock, flash the twrp, boot into it. Then u can flash the oeminfo via the toolkit. Reboot after that into the bootloader, flash the stock recovery and do the update. After that u should be on B130/160/210 what ever u downloaded.

Regards,

Sebastian

USB still malfunctioning

Hi again guys,

Back at this issue, early in the morning already.

Current issue is still the USB/PC connection, I either get no connection at all, or "USB device not recognized" as in the attachment.

-Have already reinstalled and checked for usb bus updates

-Tried various cables, and each of them work on different phone

-Uninstalled HiSuite, still no luck. Reinstalled, still no luck.

-Cleaned mUSB port on phone

-Tried different PC ports

Anyone have a similar issue, or maybe a possible solution? I'm one step away from completing FW update, but this is keeping me back.

Thanks,

H

EDIT

-So after numerous attempts to get my phone rooted, flashed and on DS it finally worked, and I want to give a HUGE thank you to [MENTION=3753223]k1ll3r8e[/MENTION]. The app you compiled worked exactly how it should. Thanks man.

-For information on a device, specifically Huawei, that has connection issues. try this thread, if i may post her --->https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/628255-huawei-p8-not-recognized-any-pc-2.html The toothpick to lift up the connector worked for me, as I have done all the other possible solutions.

-This being my first time, I would like to give some advise to the new guys.

1-READ THE ENTIRE FORUM REGARDING THIS APPLICATION

2.Follow the tabs, for example, if you only want Dual-sim capability, do only what is instructed on the preparation page, and in the order given.

3.Use the links provided in the application for all the downloads, and verify that it is not corrupt.

4.(As in my case) Ensure your devise can maintain a stable USB connection to PC, as this might corrupt any flash/rom/boot, leaving you in a lot of trouble.

Yet my work continues, as I have an "unknown IMEI" at present. Help would be great, but I will search forum in the meantime.

Once again, thanks for the DEV, and also all the advise in this forum. You guys have a subscriber for life

thanks for your swift reply, the Trwp was from the toolkit, i have tried others and still didnt work. Phone is Huawei L21 and i flashed L21C432B130
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:

Is the bootloader unlocked?

Is the device a VNS and not a PRA?

[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] iambaba:
the bootloader is unlocked and model no is VNS-L21, build number is VNS-L21C900B130
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Hmm...

try to unlock ur bootloader again. If that will not work, flash the B130 again. This will end in an locked device. Then unlock the device and try to flash the twrp. Maybe there is something cached which will let the device think that it's "half" unlocked... Like some issues posted a bit earlier here on the thread, the B360 caused a similar problem.

hi sir

i want to share the oeminfo files for for L31C185 DIUALSIM

i get this files from nougat firmware am not shure if i can flash android 6 after flash this oeminfo

this file type is .bak file not disk img and bin file like c432

i dont know this type files is reedy to flash or not

i need confirm that for me
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] iambaba:
i think the problem is the firmware L21C432B130, after following your process same result. any other firmware i can try?
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

THX for that ;)

-

About the file extensions, with the toolkit u can flash the files directly also with any other tool. U might need to cut the ".bak" part. But the files it self are complete and ready for use.

Edit:

If u want downgrade to MM u can't use this oeminfo because, u can't flash an older build over an newer one. This means u can't flash an B130 over an B360 or even an B160.

That sound really weird... But sure, u can try another build, just check my g-drive or firmware finder. If u use FF u should use a build in range of B130 - B210, to get a MM build. That's because there are many problems flashing a N build via TWRP.

Sebastian

But now I can't do any thing because I can't flash b 380 via dload

Any way to flsh c185b380 after flash this files ??

please guide me
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] miz_pimp:
What happens when you flash B380?

I want to suggest trying to install the rollback package, then flashing B150, but I'm not sure if that will work, or if it might just make things worse. I don't have experience rolling back on the P9 Lite, so it will be best to wait for someone with more experience than me. :good: I'm following this, because I, too, would like to debrand my C02 device to C185.

Is it not at all possible to get a Marshmallow oeminfo file? That way you know that you will have the full marshmallow update on your device, then update to Nougat afterwards.
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] radwan020:
Am not try to flash b380 because I dont have the update files

only b360 & b150 all failed

Plz try with b380 or roll back c185 and tell me
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] miz_pimp:
The oeminfo file is specifically for B380. You will only be able to flash B380 with that oeminfo file.
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] radwan020:
Do you will try ?

Maybe the rollback working then b150
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] miz_pimp:
My bootloader is still locked, so I cannot try it yet. Once you have successfully switched back to C185, I will be more willing to try. [emoji4]
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

to downgrade to MM u need at least an oeminfo with LxxC185B130 - B210 these are MM builds. If u got such an oeminfo flash it via my TK and install the matching FW over it. Then u are back on MM. To flash the N builds... There are to many problems as that i would explain here what u can try and what not because, the update.zip's have a really strange behavior on different devices with different TWRP's flashed.

So i would suggest u:

1) Find a oeminfo with build LxxC185B130 - B210

2) flash it via my TK

3) flash the matching FW LxxC185B130 - B210

if u now want upgrade from MM -> N:

* try to use the default updater (un-rooted, locked BL)

if that won't work...

* try to install Firmware Finder and test the proxy install

Regards,

Sebastian
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] radwan020:
The problem is we never have oeminfo for mm L31c185

I ask u if we can extract oeminfo from update.app

Another ask if I flash this oem for L31C185b380 can I flash fw L31C185b380 by cmd commands ?
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

nope u can't extract an oeminfo from an update.app, the oeminfo is stored only in the device. It gets only modified by an update.

-

Sure, u can try to flash the 2 parts with these oeminfo via twrp, but, normally u'll get an error... If i remember right it was error "7". So i can't tell u a way which will work for 100% on N builds because they have 2 files which must be flashed directly after another.

-

That's why i recommend to downgrade to MM and update from there with the default updater to N.

Sebastian

@ k1ll3r8e

I am currently unlocked and have TWRP which was done via this TK. So if I want to go back to stock in order to get the Nougat OTA what do I need to do in this TK to achieve this? I was running B131 originally. What is the order of things?

Another thing - when using OTG activated via this toolkit the data is very polluted. My Audioquest Dragonfly and Chord Mojo do not work well with it. Do you think another kernel could solve this or will it just be the same?

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

if u are on SS and B130/131/160/161/210 just...

1) flash the SS oeminfo for B130/131

2) flash the update.app LxxC432B131 via dload in the stock recovery

now u should be on LxxC432B131

About the OTG, for me the OTG never worked without probs... even on MM. For example, my "Sandisk Cruzer U3 8 GB" worked in 3/10 tests and only with more than 65% battery.

So i really can't tell u what brings a better result. But sure, a custom kernel with OTG support might work better as the stock... But i'm also not sure if the kernel alone will bring a better result. Maybe there are some "unknown" libs which are not optimized for our device.

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

seems u flashed the wrong recovery on the wrong OS^^

Take a look at ur build number and have a look on my g-drive for an matching package. Because, i bet u flashed an MM recovery on N build or an N recovery on an MM build.

my build number is l31c113b361, looked, but the onlyb361 i saw was for the double sim.

confused, but what are mm and n builds and recoveries?

also, how i fix that?
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

just get u a B360 package and use only the TWRP and superSu.zip from this package.

-

MM = Marshmallow (B125 - B210)

N = Nougat (B33x - B380)

But, if u don't know such things... U should read about those things before u at least do anything on ur device. Because, if u do something wrong, ur device is in the worst case bricked! Flashing a wrong recovery is not that bad... But also not good! ;)

(But to explain u now every meaning of MM, N or what a recovery is, is not the point of this thread.)

Problem after update

Hi,

I had used this very useful kit in order to enable my son's P9 Lite dual sim capabilities, and this phone in Greece, is given out by Vodafone as a single sim.

i followed all the steps carefully (unlock bootloader - TWRP - Root - Dual Sim firmware ) and everything was fine.

Until the previous week, where (as per my son's info) some kind of update sneeked in and the poor boy tried to instal it. Result : A disaster !!! For some reason, there is no input via a keyboard capability any more. Phone only accepts Google voice typing and there is no way that I can alter that.

I tried to make the same procedure (as initially did) with the Tool Kit. I manage to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP. But when I try to boot into TWRP to root and proceed with the rest, phone bricks (stays at '' Your device is booting '' like for ever ...) after many shut downs it may boot normally, but when I try to flash TWRP here it goes again with the same problem

Is there anything i can do ? If i could -somehow- instal a regular keyboard, perhaps everything would be fine.

Some help, pls, !!!
[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

sounds like there was an twrp flashed while u installed the update?

Are u currently on "NRD90M testkeys"?

-

The reason for this problem is:

The xxx_xxx_xxx_data.zip was not flashed correctly or not flashed at all. This ends in the fact that there are currently not all stock apps installed. To fix this problem, i recommend that u downgrade to MM and update to N with an 100% stock system via the default "Settings -> Update" apk.

After that u can root the device, BUT!, be warned! if there is a new update available and u are rooted u might not be able to install the update.

Sebastian

[Huawei P9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Warren_Orange:
Hi.

Thanks for that info.

Like I said I was on B130 originally but could I flash B160 or possibly a nougat ROM instead? Or do you need to go back to the version you were on originally? ( I think some people had issues getting the nougat OTA on B130).

I have never flashed an update in the stock recovery before, what does that involve?

Thanks.
