[General Questions and Answers] Sketch RPG2:
I tried this twice and went with my phone to warranty 2 times. Cand someobe please tell me what have i done wrong? After installing TWRP OS stopped to boot (TWRP was working). I installed SuperSu and then the phone bricked. After some trying to restore it i ended up with the OS wiped....then i went to warranty. Is it because i installed Twrp with fastboot, i mean do i really need flash tool? Thanks in advance :3
[General Questions and Answers] panda822:
I think it's time to try with flash tool.
[General Questions and Answers] HailWhore:
I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING!!!!

For those who think that their phone got bricked, listen 'ere.

After i installed TWRP phone stopped booting, it got in bootloop (i was able to get in recovery)

If this happens to you to, just install SuperSU (the exact version that is on the first page, first reply), it installs another boot image that will work. Your phone should boot properly now ( it might take up to 5 minutes to first boot, it happend to me, i got worried but it was alright).

Thank you so much, now i can finally do WHATEVER I WANT with my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyRSR:
Hey. Is there a way to unroot the phone? I've tried to do it by unrooting within the SuperSU app but without succes.
[General Questions and Answers] panda822:
Flash back the stock ROM
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyRSR:
I don't have the stock ROM. Only the stock recovery.. :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jean1965:
Hi friends,

I have rooted my android tablet (Chuwi Hi12) as I find the lowest brightness by default way too bright. :cool: I found the settings of brightness (/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight/brightness) and changed the settings to a lower value: 5 . I changed it in properties to read only. As long as the tablet is not rebooted it keeps this setting. But after reboot the old brightness setting (value: 21) is back. What am I doing wrong? What do I overlook? :(

Please help! Many thanks.

Thanks, I had a gut feeling of a kind. Are the init scripts and these Android settings customizable? I would very much like to make them permanent.

Thanks again!
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryzee:
Until recently, my HD+ has continued to labor on almost flawlessly since converting over to full Android quite some time ago. It is currently running v5.1.1/CM 12.1-20151018 Ovation.

In the last two months it has started to simply not boot up (even while fully charged) unless I plug it in. Even then, it takes several minutes before it boots. I can get it to reboot while unplugged, but if I fully shut it off by holding down the power button, it will not restart unless I plug it in again.

Have had to go to holding the power button down for full shutoff as it also will spontaneously reboot if you select power off from the menu.

As it has not exhibited any issues until now, I am clueless as to what is going on.

I am using it only for viewing photos taken with my digital camera via its sd card, using it for graphic novels, and using the Prestigio ereader for for ebooks with photographs and color plates.

Other than the apps for the graphic novels and Prestigio, I have it totally stripped down and don't even use the wifi connection.

Will be very greatful for any assist with fixing this.

Could it be as simple as refreshing 12.1 or should I go back to 11.1?

PS: Appears to be related to having the sd card inserted or not. Will start with card out when it won't with it in. Cannot reboot into TWRP.

PPS: It was definitely the sd card used to configure the Nook. Replaced it with a clean one and (almost) all of the problems disappeared.

Still does a spontaneous reboot if I use the software "Power Off" from the menu once the power button is pushed.

If I hold the power button it will fully turn off and not reboot. and then starts normally.

For the limited use I have configured it for, I should leave "well enough" alone at this point.

Any ideas as to the spontaneous restarts???

It still has one of the best screens around!!!

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
So I want to kind of start this discussion and work on a fix. Ideally a fix without root, if it's possible.

According to the Chinese forums, the Chinese version (which I'm getting because I want 128GB of storage) has been altered as of version B115 to not include the necessary GMS framework to allow installation of google services, play store, and so on.

Previous versions (some Chinese models shipped with B109) included the ability to load Google Services.

The first step in fixing this for people whose phones ship with more recent firmware is to find a full package of B109. The only other option will be bootloader unlock and flashing of either international firmware or google play services after unlocking the bootloader.

My phone will arrive here in Japan tomorrow, so I will work on reverse engineering the update server like I did with Mate 8, and keep everyone up to date with any progress. Does anyone else have plans to buy the Chinese version? Please feel free to chime in!

UPDATE!!

As of December, Huawei has released a package to install google services on the Mate 9. Simply search the HiApp store for GMS and get the first result.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
Couldn't just install a international from through the update?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NiggZ:
So your saying if I purchase this from a Chinese online mobile store I wont be able to get google play store on it :( im in need of a new phone so bad and wanted this
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Not without unlocking the bootloader.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
You will be able to get Google Play store on it IF your phone ships with version B109 or earlier. Apparently this is rare. Otherwise, you will not be able to without unlocking your bootloader, at this time. My phone is supposed to arrive today, so I will be a guinea pig and figure out what needs to be done, as obviously it's useless to me without Google Play.

Hi mate I'm here. I plan to buy chinese versione (I've also international one) and work on it
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Good! We work together again, like the old days!

Do you have the international one now? Can you use wireshark and find out the http query from eRecovery to get the location to the latest firmware?

For example, you can get latest Mate 8 AL10 firmware like this:

curl -d '{"rules":{"D_version":"","DeviceName":"HUAWEI NXT-AL10","saleinfo":"||||||||N","IMEI":"","FingerPrint":"","FirmWare":"HUAWEI NXT-AL10-all-cn","IMSI":"","C_version":"","OS":"","HotaVersion":"e.0.1","Language":"","devicetoken":"","PackageType":"full"}}' http://query.hicloud.com:80/sp_ard_common/v2/Check.action?latest=True
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] raimondomartire:
Yes as usual man :good::good: It's always a pleasure work together with you. I think is possible to create temp root but I don't know which command I can use. I write temp root script but I can test after this monday. I bought mate 9 6 GB version

No problem to have roms location (like mate 8 times) but I must wait mate 9 chinese version (international one can send me tomorrow)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
The pleasure is mine!

I also bought same version. Do you currently have European version in your hands? I think it might be possible to use some tricks to write European firmware onto Chinese version.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PapitaHD:
Now this is very confusing. I ordered the 4/64GB version from aliexpress. All of the descriptions (of all sellers) on ali clearly highlights all the network features and bands that are only supported by the european model of Mate9, called "MHA-L29". Huawei's official specs clearly say MHA-L29 is dual-sim supported and MHA-L09 (=chinese version) is not.

I asked the seller and after 3-4 questions he finally replied it's the chinese version (of course) but tried to convince me that it will work with google play because every huawei phone they sell can work with play.

I can't risk it to have a phone that I have to mod to use play, and I can't expect the firmware updates easily without any problem/risk.

I cancelled the order, asked a few other sellers they all have the chinese version. It seems I can't get the european version with a lower price I have to wait till the phone launches here, and it will be much more expensive.

What is your opinion how difficult will it be to update the firmware with sufficient google services by tricks on the chinese models? Would you recommend it to a noob like me(I unlocked bootloaders and stuff but I can only follow specific directions) to have the chinese model backed by a worthless warranty?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Chinese version is not MHA-L09. It's MHA-AL00.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I think it will be possible to do with specific directions, probably within a month -- hopefully sooner. I also think it's possible that Huawei re-introduces the ability to install Google services into a future update, because the outcry from the Chinese community is huge.

Once I find the way to do it, I will make as easy-to-follow guide as I can, but I can't promise anything! It might be very difficult if it's too different from the Mate 8.

My advice to you is to wait until a solution has been found before buying the Chinese version.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PapitaHD:
Thanks, I'm gonna wait a little more then. I cancelled my order before shipment so they must refund me without any problem. There will be a 130-150 USD difference comparing the chinese version to prices in my country. I'm hesitating to either wait for this phone or buy the OnePlus 3T on the 28th of november, but I really like the Mate9.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paolo83:
A best solution could be to completely trasform chinese into european. With european rom, european modem and other features like sar reduction : do you remember that mate 8 EU had a string "sar reduction yes" that in chinese there wasn't?

Do you think that is possibile to convert At 100% chinese in european? (with unlock bootloader)

We can work At this?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Customs delayed my phone's delivery to Monday, so I can't really say without looking at how it works, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't be possible to convert the Chinese version to the european one as long as we have an unlocked bootloader or root.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigantz:
I'm in the same boat. i got a MHA-AL00 and I can't get the play store to work. Please anyone have instructions how to resolve this problem.??

Thank you! Things are becoming more interesting!

Unfortunately, we only receive {"status":"1"} as a response. With Mate 8 for example, we receive the URL for the download of latest firmware. Which looks like this:

Please work it out...

Hi all, I just received my Mate 9 in China 2 days ago - I am living there... :) Unfortunately it is a newer version B125 . I could live without Play store but not without the google services. I mean, even evernote does not work. In this stage, the phone is not usable for me. Let me know if I can be of help ;) hope this can be solve. It is the best phone out there these days - and comes with a great battery life.

Otherwise I will return it - then Huawei can sell one more 4GB / 64GB version into the Chinese market.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigantz:
I am also currently in China and I also received my Mate 9 2 days ago. I could not bear without the Google store or services. I return it already. Very disappointing though. It is the best phone I used from Chinese brand manufacturer.

This might help...

I am no expert here in rooting phones... but I found a download link MHA-AL00A_MHA-AL00A_C00B125 from a Chinese source. It might help the experts here in the forum...

(I am too new, so not allowed to post links). Anyway, I downloaded and it looks like system files with a very low-level manual to root the phone. If you need the link let me know.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

I totally agree. That makes it even more sad. But in any case, no google no use. Even if it is the best phone in the world.... most of the MUST use apps will just not work.

The funny thing is though: Huawei has their own APP store. It is possible to download GMAIL from there - it let me do it without VPN. But: it will result in an error message as the google service layer is missing. If Huawei really wants to catch up Apple, they have to do their homework much better. This is quite unprofessional.

If that's true the internaltion version would have Google removed and I can't believe that would happen. No point in releasing the phone without Google Services.

From reading the Google translated version of the chinese forum thread it sounds like it is a fixable licensing issue.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] weiaoli:
True. The international version (Lx9) has full Google support (of course). Just in China they have removed the required layers... (AL00 version).
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigantz:
Source are from some chinese website. But again, it is just rumors. I assume that they will release international version but as of now, the china version seems like not supporting it.

Just received my chinese phone, they have pre-installed Gmail and Play Store for me - don't get excited, it's B125 and it doesn't have Google Framework installed. Duraaraa, I'm happy to help out if you need to try anything wih me / my phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
I'm certain Huawei wouldn't remove Google framework to benefit anything they are doing. From what I've read, Huawei and other Chinese based phones were asked by Google to remove the framework.

Huawei is not in the USA because of the hardware. Outside of there network/modem hardware they cannot officially get there cpu stuff here for some reason.

If I'm not mistaken China has banned Google stuff.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigantz:
So does that means your play store is working? I'm confused of what you said?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gnasher666:
No the Play Store is NOT working
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
As promised, an update.

I have more or less reverse engineered the update protocol as well as the place the firmwares are stored. I managed to find an older version of Chinese firmware containing Google Play.

However I have not found a way to INSTALL this yet. The regular /dload/UPDATE.APP does not work (even with modern firmware versions), so it's not possible to install this way. I have a few ideas (and nowhere near enough time to try them because it's nearing 1AM here in Japan), but I have a day off Wednesday, so hopefully some time to work on it then.

What I need to do is find a way to actually load the UPDATE.APP, for any version, and we'll then be able to get google play working, albeit with an older version of firmware. I will keep everyone up to date. For now, here is a link to MHA-AL00C00B106, which includes Google Play. However, no way to install it yet. If anyone finds a way, please tell me!

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G990/g77/v65567/f2/full/update.zip
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Another update. I have reverse-engineered the eRecovery, as this seemed like the only entry point. Unfortunately, it was for nothing, as it's not looking possible to force it to install the 'wrong' version of firmware.

So I'm pretty much stuck. I can't find any way to roll back or change the firmware version. It looks like bootloader unlock will be our only path to google services, unless we can come up with something else.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] herrritschwumm:
I just found this thread and was wondering: Does this mean that the firmware of any version (chinese, european, etc.) is fully functional without GApps? That is: Assuming root access, would it be possible to remove all GApps from the stock firmware without breaking anything (beyond the stuff provided by the Play Framework, i.e. GCM/FCM etc.)? :confused:

Some firmwares and especially vendor skins do not take that kindly. I understand that this is exactly the opposite of what this thread is about, but since it is still related to the presence/absence of Google Play, I hope it is not too off-topic :D Anyway, any answer is appreciated!
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gnasher666:
I don't see that option in Hisuite.

For google store, it will shown the error Rh-01.

When I installed the newer version of google play service(such as 9 or even 10), nth of google is work.

As I know the gp service version in b109is 10.0.84. but dun know what is the difference then. lol
