well as i said,you need to flash stock boot of your current fw then you are good to reflash the root.zip.flash This superuser.zip if you dont wanna format your data due to lack of public.zip and hw data.zip for your model.try to search in the forum for your stock boot.img. iinm i have a library of stock boot i post at another thread but i am not sure if your model is in it or not.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hgeorgiev:
Yes that's it.

After finish my job I want to unroot device, but get error when try to install official rom from SD card (Software install failed).

Is there some tricks or steps?

Phone is dual sim.

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
Dload won't work. Only 2 offline packages are released, AL00 and C636. So you'll have to use Firmware Finder.

Use this thread but replace B138 with B156 https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-installing-b138-using-firmware-t3557089

Thanks for replay, but Update menu missing in settings :(

After flash public and hw data.zip I have again this menu. Keep moving. Thanks ante0

After few hours of downloading I get error ....installation not authorized (or some similar) :(

In advanced settings -> security, I check Unknown sources....is there another permission to allow?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
No, no other. If you can, try B138.

How did you get B156, OTA?

And how did you flash hw and public, you couldn't flash twrp?

If B138 fails your only hope is Funkyhuawei. And that should work. (but a paid "service")
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hgeorgiev:
Now I download again. If get fails again, I will try B138.

I get B156 with Firmware finder (OTA) following https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-installing-b138-using-firmware-t3557089

I already was flashed twrp when rooted, just again flash hw and public with twrp

Its no problem to pay for Funkyhuawei.

Actually is there any way to flash new updates (until the phone is rooted) without resetting the phone?

If its possible I don't need to unroot.

I was able to get this working, but it seems that my fingerprint scanner stops working every*now and then, requiring a reset.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
Make sure you do not touch the "version" partition. Even after backing it up in Twrp when restoring it something doesn't restore properly and things like the keyboard and camera won't work. If anyone is having issues:

A) send me your original boot.img so I can decrypt it.

B) Wait until the US offline rom is posted so we can flash back to complete to stock

In twrp, hopefully you guys did a backup of everything before you started flashing boot images or mods. This way you can go back to your stock files. Do NOT rebrand your phone if you don't have to or things will not work properly. I rebranded mine to the C636 and if everything (version, vendor, cust, system, boot) doesn't match things don't work such as the keyboard on boot up, camera, developer options, etc.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] spc_hicks09:
I can't get that folder, I have no access to anything on the internal storage. I haven't done anything since rebooting after flashing the boot image.

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
I had similar issues & also reset from the stock screen.

Here's how I fixed mine (same US Model as yours) :

Load the decrypted boot img, Superuser zip & Superuser .apk onto your External SD Card.

1) Flash the TWRP per the OP instructions (from your PC via fastboot), then reboot to system.Then reboot to Recovery.

2) Flash the decrypted image in TWRP.

3) Flash the Superuser zip.

4) Reboot phone, install Superuser apk/app.

5) Reboot into recovery & wipe Dalvik Cache & Cache.

6) Reboot to system. Now, you should be able to perform a full backup.

Yes, some system apps are missing, but, the phone is still usable, including the camera.

Developer Options may freeze up settings, I've found the Screen Lock toggle to be the culprit for me. (probably due to missing system apps). Otherwise, Developer Options is accessible.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] spc_hicks09:
I cannot access anything on the phone. I can't put any files on it at all. Nothing. All I did was flash this guys decrypted boot image.

I can't even open the Play Store.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
Do you not have TWRP installed/working?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] spc_hicks09:
Yes I have TWRP installed and can boot to it.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
Can you boot into Fastboot & install TWRP?

If so, hopefully you can get your phone to working order following my steps.

You may need to remove your SD Card & load up the items I listed onto your External SD Card from another device.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
That's because you're still encrypted. You need to Wipe Data in TWRP to remove encryption. Then flash the decrypted boot.img, then the phone should boot. If you don't wipe data first the phone will bootloop or not boot at all and your internal storage will show up like it does because it's still encrypted. Installing a decrypted boot.img on to an encrypted partition results in it not booting.

In TWRP go to Wipe then hit Format Data then type in yes and hit enter. Then reboot recovery. Then flash the decrypted boot and it should boot fine.

Ok everything is working again. Thank you. I'm really sorry for being rude in my posts. I was just freaking out because there is no firmware for the U.S. variant yet.

So now I just flash the root zip, then download the app right?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
That's it,then you should be OK.

Remember that Developer Options may freeze up on you.A reboot or recovery reboot w/Dalvik Cache & Cache Wipe will fix it to where you can navigate settings again.

Not all of Developer Options freezes things up,for myself, it's only been the Lock Screen toggle that triggers the freeze-up.

Hi, anyone know if if could use this method with the MHA-L09C185B156?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
As long as you didn't modify anything but /data, flashing back stock boot is enough.

PHH Superuser and SuperSU are both written too boot image, and no other changes are made.

(Busybox is installed to /system by default. You can install it to /sbin or /su but need to modify phh/su script for that)

technically restoring recovery should be enough. But, if anything but /data was modified OTA will refuse to install. OTA does a verification of /system etc to check that it's not modified. Which is good because of the way it installs OTA now. Before Android 5 (I think, might be 6) it would just install each file that needs to be replaced, which means a bigger update. Now it just patches the entire /system. So if one were to modify /system and install OTA but skip verification, it would patch things it's not supposed to patch.

In your case, if you haven't installed busybox or anything to /system, it would probably install if you were to flash back stock recovery. But because of FRP lock you can't.

I thought you already had stock recovery as you tried to flash twrp.

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
That's their problem. Fastboot refuses to flash anything, so they're stuck with TWRP.

Don't try flashing stock recovery from TWRP. People have tried and it only makes recovery not boot up. Which would mean you're stuck with no recovery.

Since you can't flash back recovery your last option is probably Funky...

Or rebrand to C636 or AL00.

When you use FF it pushes the update to your phone, and you use the update in your phone's settings to update. You don't need frp to update. If it works it should flash recovery, firmware, and lock your bootloader again.

Hi, as all is going so well, apart from root, after restoring stock B181 data and system, that I was looking for a less painful way to recover proper root.

For install updates from Firmware Finder can you with unlocked bootloader or do you relocked it before? And could you even downgrade? Then when in the B156, if I restore stock B181 data and system and flash root again do you think I would get a messy root again?

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] saurabhg9:
Yes, I tried doing all the above.

But today evening using FF I tried downloading OTA for B156 i.e. partial update of approx 409 MB. That one is apparently authenticated by Huawei, and I was able to bring myself on B156 :)

Its been a full circle now. I was on B156 until yesterday, but with an FRP lock. To get rid of the FRP lock, I downgraded myself to stock flash of B138 using FF. And now back on B156.

Now next step is to unlock the bootloader again, root, twrp etc.

I have spent more time flashing stuff back and forth on the phone, rather than using it for making calls ;)

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

You can use FF with a locked or an unlocked bootloader. It doesn't matter at all. The only thing you need is the stock recovery (TWRP wouldn't work to install FF updates)

Yes, downgrade is possible. I was on B156 and I downgraded myself using FF to B138 in order to get rid of FRP lock.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] audioralf:
To avoide frp lock we must set oem unlock on developer options. But you can get on the phone via entering you google password.

Yes I have tested the downgrade option some weeks ago before I started rooting to be sure to have a rollback option. I had reported this in the root thread. The step to 156 normally should work with regular ota, but you are confirming that it's possible via ff , too

Yes, OEM unlock in developer option can remove FRP lock but the issue is that if you have your bootloader locked then that field (OEM unlock) is greyed out and it is not possible to change it except for a stock firmware flash.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Peppus:
Hi, if you have to flash stock recovery you are relocking bootloader, aren't you? I'm sorry, I don't understand it. Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] audioralf:
Yes it locks on dload.

Oem unlock setting was activated and I could do ff and ota. It's grey now, but I don't need to disable.

Dload looks bootloader, but don't worry.

simply do this before opening bootloader:

Make Nandroid on external sd

save internal sd to external sd.

Then check if oem unlock setting is activated to prevent frp lock.

Then start bootloader mode

You will see bootloader locked in green and frp on red (due to oem setting)

After fastboot oem unlock... Command device restarts and deletes all data on internal sd.

Start again in bootloader mode and though will see bootloader unlocked in red letters.

Then flash TWRP and start it.

In TWRP format data.

Then install supersu and restore data partition from Nandroid. Copy back files to internal sd.

Start system and you have everything back

Hello,

I wanted to update my firmware. After every trying bootloader said install failed after 5%. So I wanted to install TWMP recovery and install zip via Huawei Extractor. I did a "create flashable zip" and tried to install via recovery. After a failed attempt written "failed to mount /system" and I wanted to reboot the phone. After that phone does not react at all. No screen, no response to power button, 3 buttons together or any other combination.

What can I do?
