To unlock FRP really don't use any tool, specially from HTC (don't risk bricking the phone)

Simply go to Settings/About and tap 7 times over the build number

It will unlock Developers menu, there you have to enable ADB in charging only mode, and after that ADB debugging - in that order (you need to manually enable even for whatever tools you ever want to use)

In the same Developers menu you have to enable OEM unlock (and confirm) - that is FRP unlocking, so do you rwally need HTC (?) tools for that.

And once you unlock Bootloader you simply flash TWRP by Fastboot command:

fastboot flash ramdisk_recovery <TWRP file>

It just depends are you on Nougat or Marshmallow, which TWRP file you must use.

If you provide full build name/number from Settings /About (like EVA-L09c432b504 or so), will give you which TWRP to use

All together pretty simple, better invest sone time to learn than to depend on tools that come and go (and may not be updated for the latest firmwares)

Finally, the tool is probably old, seems from the time of now deprecated SuperSU

Now people usually flash Magisk for root (and again, you can do it manually from TWRP, no additional tools required)

Yup, sorry I'm not sure to all understand... how to "simply go to Settings/About and tap 7 times over the build number" if one time my phone unbricked, I'm stuck in the google account (FRP) ?

and it's not all, the guy from ministry of solutions just responded now and says : "with 4$ you cannot get the bootloader code because phone need to be fully functional only then code can be generated" ...

so, it seems they only unlock the bootloader and not giving the code..

Is your phone bricked that you cannot boot to Android/System?

In that case you can use DC Phoenix, they can unlock FRP and Bootloader and unbrick the phone but it will not cost 5 Euros but cca 15 (check on their site, ask them by mail)

If you can boot to Android, then do as described in my previous post to unlock OEM/FRP and to enable ADB - see also screenshots

Btw, if it is bricked:

- Power off, connect to PC, press and keep pressing Vol-, boot by Pow

- It will boot to Fastboot, take photo and post it to see are your FRP and Bootloader locked or unlocked

Also, once in Fastboot, execute the commands (one by one) from PC to see (and copy them back) where is your phone really:

fastboot oem get-bootinfo
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashinobi:
yup,

I asked to a guy from Dc phoenix and he told me in chat live it is 30$ to unbrick phone and unlock google and in ministry of solutions, it is 25$, but the thing is I just need to unlock bootloader code, and for that they ask 4$. I think I'm gonna pay for that tomorrow and after retry by myself to unbrick it in updating by sd card. But... in addition to being super nice to take time for me and answer me as detailed, you also can give me the "Huaweip9tool.rar" please :):):) I spent to much on it, new screen, battery, docking charge,...

And yes my p9 is bricked yes :( I cannot enter the phone..

Per screenshot, your Bootloader is locked (no bad, you just buy Bootloader code if you didn't keep it from previously)

BUT your FRP is locked and your phone is bricked, hence you cannot boot to Androud to unlock OEM=FRP to be able to unlock Bootloader

DC Phoenix can do all that for you, but if you don't want to pay their service, you will FIRST need to unbrick your phone, boot to Android (your c900b136) and to unlock OEM/FRP.

Only then you can unlock Bootloader and rebrand from c900 (c900 is dead end, there is no Nougat for that cust) to eg c432

BUT - your phone is on the supper ancient c900 b136. How come?

Did you follow some totally out-dated guide and flashed b136 (and bricked the phone)?

I have this P9 since 2017, and several times rolled back to MM, but always to c900 b182 (not even to c900 b160), and never had any problem (after that, rebranded back to c432 and upgraded to Nougat)

I shortly searched but didn't find still an active link where you can download the full c900 b136

IMO, in your shoes, I will fo for the full service from DC Phoenix...

Also, I don't have the rar tool you are looking for - I never used such a tool. IMO, it is more safe to manually use ADB/Fastboot.

Then, only sky is your limit, you can change/adapt Fastboot commands and flash whatever you need, knowing what exactly you are doing, and you are not limited to probably some out-dated options

----

In short, you have the following options:

a) DC Phoenix (unbricking, unlocking, upgrading to Nougat)

b) Only to buy Bootloader code, but then you must find somewhere EVA-L09c900b136 (maybe, c900 b160 or b182 could also do in your case, no guarantee), and install it by DLOAD (you cannot use TWRP because your FRP is locked so you cannot unlock the Bootloader to be able to flash TWRP).

Then, you will be able to boot to Androud, where you have to enable Developers menu and unlock OEM/FRP.

Then, you can unlock Bootloader.

Then, install TWRP for Huawei P9 MarshMallow.

Then, from TWRP to flash OEMInfo for c432, and finally you will be able to rebrand to c432 and to get OTA updates to Nougat.

I could provide you help for the subsequent steps, but not for reviving your c900b136 - never used it, don't have it and cannot find any trustworthy and active link to download it (it used to be on FirmwareFinder but they have recently removed most of the very old firmwares)

Hi,

as I told you, Dc phoenix asked me 30$ to unbrick and unlock my phone... so expansive as Ministry of solutions, who they just told me now that they cannot unlock my bootloader for 4$ because my phone is bricked, they really want me to spend the max for their services but it's too much for me.. But there must be a way to unbrick my phone without spending any money, if yes, what is it ? if I cannot buy a bootloader code..

And yes I followed a totally out-dated guide and flashed b136 :( this one :

https://xdaforums.com/p9/help/problem-flashing-stock-rom-eva-l09-t3721306

and I found here the b136 :

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1GRb_CXjI1sVTBWX1RCMkYza2M

shame on me but I tried again now to put the dload folder of the b136 in my sd card and cannot update, still stuck on the logo.

And now I got this on the fastboot : https://photos.app.goo.gl/c96BTq6mREgbfd5w7

Also here there are plenty of update : http://huawei-firmware.com/phone-list/huawei-p9/eva-l09

question : what is the version of my android if my oem is c900b136 ?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
How did you flash c900 b136?

Per instructions in

https://xdaforums.com/p9/help/problem-flashing-stock-rom-eva-l09-t3721306

it must be unzipped, and there it contains two update*.app files (I just downloaded from their Mega link, unzipped and as on screenshots, it indeed contains two such files

They must be flashed one by one by DLOAD method, as they describe in the post.

If you flashed only one, you must also flash the second

You must have SD card with /DLOAD folder (manage the SD card on your PC).

First put the first app (only that single file) to the DLOAD folder.

Phone must be switched off; press and keep pressing both Vol+ and Vol-, then boot by Pow.

Phone should automatically start DLOAD installation

Then do the same with the second app file.

You must delete first update.app and put instead the second update.app (delete the whole DLOAD folder and create the mew one to make sure something hidden will not remain in the folder).

It always goes update.app alone to the DLOAD folder, you should not copy the whole HW subfolder

PS: If you have questions about flashing them, don't hesitate to ask directly to that thread with instructions and download for b136 dload (asked the guy who posted)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashinobi:
Bim ! UNBRICKED :)

I just update with the first update.app and it was good ! I don't understand why it didn't pass before.. I also tried to update after with the second EUupdate always alone in the dload folder but this second didn't want to pass and failed at 5%, now I'm just stuck on the screen to unlock google, but my p9 is unbricked and thank you so much !!

So now, what can I do to unlock google? and to wich version I need to update (the last I suppose but what is this one) ?

If I well understood, I need to unlock the bootloader with a code (to buy or not would be great) before trying to unlock frp
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Good for you that phone is unbricked

I don't know what do you mean by unlocking Google, but please don't use suspicious tools and methods (outdated, for other phones, etc)

As described (and with screenshots) couple of times in previous posts, you can now easily (no tools required):

- enable Developers menu

- in Developers menu, enable OEM (aka FRP) unlock

- also enable ADB debugging in Charge only mode and USB debugging (in that order)

This is good to have because both ADB (over USB) and FRP make things easier if it happens that your phone goes brick ever again :)

---

By Settings / About, your phone is now on EVA-L09c900b136, isn't it

That means you are (back) on the old Android 6

With c900 you will never receive OTA updates for Nougat, hence you should consider rebranding to c432 and to update to b504/b505

For rebranding you will also need ADB and FRP unlocked, vut also to buy the Bootloader code to unlock

---

Again, I don't know what is wrong with your Google account(s), but now when the phone is unbricked you should be able to setup a Google account and start using Google apps and services

Don't use any (suspicious) tools... If anything goes wrong it will be good (and required) that you first unlock FRP and enable ADB debugging as mentioned above

Maybe you had set some strong authentication for your Google account and you are afraid you will not be able to authenticate now with the 'new'' phone.. Anyway, this is not part of debugging/unbricking your Huawei P9 but your Google account

You can register for new mail and Google account... Several phones can use the same Google account(s) - but be careful with Google authentication. You can also setup several Google accounts on the same phone

Particularly, I have two Google accounts and use them both on two active phones (and few more old and "retired' phones). I use only authentication over e-mail (not by phone number), hence I have no problems to authenticate that account(s) on any phone if/when I need

---

If you will consider rebranding and updating to Nougat, be aware that unlocking Bootloader automatically performs Hard Reset

Also, some newer firmwares automatically lock Bootloader again.

Keep the Bootloader code when you buy it, you can always use it for the same phone, but every time you go to unlock Bootloder it will Hard Reset (it stays on the same FW but wipes apps, accounts, Internal memory)

Hence it is futile to setup Google account(s), apps, etc now - you must first do all other things (ADB, FRP, Bootloader, Nougat) and once you finally settle with eg c432 b504, then start setting up accounts, apps, etc
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashinobi:
Yep, google account means I'm stuck at the frp, so cannot enter to enable develloper mode and debuging, I have no problem to hard reset, now I have nothing on the phone but I still can do anything with it, just chose language..

I always have this screen :

https://photos.app.goo.gl/XWPBGmCscghbyHNYA

"please login with one of the owner accounts of this device" and believe me the mail is good and the password too..

Do I have other solutions than PAY for unlock FRP ? because it's really impossible to unlock it with my mail, I tried 100 times..

And do I really need to buy a bootloader ?

and yes, I would like to rebranding and updating to nougat but I what is the right update.app and where to get it.. I would like to get the last if possible..

sorry, I'm from belgium, I undersdand all you explain to me and thank you to take time for me, really but there is a lot of information and I don't by where to start.. but stop me if I'm wrong, I have to find the c432 and then update to b504/b505

I found the c432 here : https://www.carbontesla.com/2018/02...ougat-firmware-update-europe-eva-l09-eva-l19/
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
What if xou setup that Google account (preventing FRP) on this P9 first.

If you cannot do that either, gmail account or password must be wrong.

But if you succeed to set that Google account to the phone, it must also allow you to unlock FRP

Also, try to do Factory reset from Settings, to remove the 'hidden' Google accounts (it will again ask you for the Google password)

IMO, you should also be able to go from PC or from another phone to Manage your account (assuming you have correct password and/or proper SIM card if Google was tied with SIM for authentication), to get that account un-tied from your P9

Otherwise, it should be impossible to do it, because this is a protection from resetting the stolen phone (FRP = Factory Reset Protection, it was first required by California low back in 200x)

Assume the phone is lost or stolen. That PIN or fingerprint was imposed for unlocking the screen.

A thief cannot enter to the System/Android

If FRP is locked and Google account was set, a thief who is not the owner of that Google account cannot perform Factory Reset from Recovery nor from eRecovery, hence the phone (except the SD card) is useless for him (except for the parts to disassemble)

---

However, there were two (or three) users who bought P9s over Internet, and previous owners did not remove their Google accounts from the phone.

Somehow buyers were not able to get in proper contact with sellers, to let them clean the phones from the old accounts.

And FRPs were locked

Although it sounds illegal, DC Phoenix were able to help the new owners to unlock FRPs (and there was no other way, don't know if Ministry of solutions can do the same)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
You cannot rebrand to c432 just by 'flashing' any c432 build, you need to:

1) unlock FRP

2) buy Bootloader code

3) unlock Bootloader (you need 1,2 for this)

4) install TWRP for EMUI 4.1 (you need 3 for this)

5) flash c432 OEMinfo from TWRP (you need 4 for this)

6) flash c432 b182 by DLOAD (but 5 must be completed before)

Hence you need all steps as listed, you cannot avoid unlocking FRP (step 1)

and buying Bootloader code

Follow this guide

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2

There is only one problem, you have c900 with the older b136, while the guide assumes starting from c900 b182.

Probably, it will work for your c900 b182, too

But you may download and flash L09 c900 b182 from the points (7, 8) in this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magicrainbow-v3-t3722457/post75655371

Be careful here, the rest of that guide does not apply to you - only the points (7, 8) will help you to update L09 c900 from b136 to b182

After that, continue with the first guide rebranding from L09 c900 b182 to L09 c432 b182

Once on c432 b182, have a valid SIM and WiFi, you will start receiving OTA updates bringing you up to b50x

Yup, I'm on the C900b182 and try to update to C432, but in this guide :

but I don't have these 4 folders asked in step 4 :

2) Firmware b182 must be in dload folder (update.app 3,06 GB) Take the one for your device For EVA-L09 download full Firmware b182: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...ull/update.zip

EVA-L19 can use same b182 - the Firmware works for both.

3) Unzipp oeminfo.emmc.zip - you get: oeminfo.emmc.win - this is the file what you need!

4) Store this file in following path on root of your external SD: \TWRP\BACKUPS\SNxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\C432\ (SNxxx folder must named with Serial Number of your phone and inside this folder copy the oeminfo.emmc.win

As you told me, Twrp is well installed and as I didn't find 4 folders :"\TWRP\BACKUPS\SNxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\C432", I created them where I put the "oeminfo.emmc.win", but when I go to restore (TWRP) in sd card, there is nothing, no folder no file.. Look :

You must manually create such nested folders.

Actually, from TWRP, make a Backup, select SD card for Storage, backup eg Boot partition (small, will be backed up quickly), and TWRP will create on your SD card the folders

/TWRP/BACKUPS/xx...x with the proper Serial Number for your phone.

Just create a subfolder C432 and copy in the oeminfo.emcc.win file

Your link goes to 404, URL not found, hence cannot see your picture

But guys, you can upload picture attachements directly to XDA, just take Go Advanced in browser when editing your posts, and select icon to Manage uploads

Also, you can make screenshots in TWRP, shortly and simultaneously press Vol- and Pow.

Screenshot will be created to /Pictures/Screenshots either to Internal memory or to SD card, depending what is your current Storage selected in TWRP

You say, you don't see folders you created - you probably did not select SD card for Storage (inside Backup/Restore), or did not name the foldres properly

Let TWRP itself create by Backup the three folders for you, to make sure they are properly named.

But make sure you select SD card for Storage

Also, OEMInfo is WIN file (not ZIP or IMG) you must flash it from Restore, not from Install in TWRP

Better use Firmware Finder apps with official Huawei firmwares.

You can read Chanlog there, etc

Probably Voogle finds you private copies from there but you never know if files are really ok, for c432...

It depends on country/operator if you receive b505 OTA or not.

You may try eRecovery (see my previous post) if it gives you b505.

IMO, by Changelog, there is not much difference between b504 and b505.

Maybe not thrue but I read some reports that b505 drains battery, who knows (I'm on P9 debranded to AL10c00 with Oreo b540)

Since b505 is FullOTA- MF but without PV, you cannot manually update to b505 by DLOAD. It can be updated to b505 by HWOTA or HWOTA7 methods, though

OP posts provide full description about rooting by Magisk, installing Network patch to make it working with 3G/4G worldwide (patch also includes debloating) and installing Face unlock add-on

As a result, you obtain full-blown internationally working Oreo (all languages, networks, Gapps) based on stock Chinese AL10 c00 b540 - year and a half ago Huawei originally said that upgrade to Oreo will be available worldwide for P9, but few months later they changed decision and provided upgrade to Oreo only for Chinese market ; so they left almost everything what was needed for eg c432 but made it disabled/hidden (some parts even removed) and provided OTA upgrade to Oreo (first version was b528) for Chinese models/custs only

Thanks mainly and hugely to [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] (you already rebranded Marshmallow c900 to c432 by his guide, he also assembled HWOTA method), we can still enjoy that 'Chinese' Oreo (now the latest stock was b540) worldwide.
