[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and managed to install TWRP 3.1.0-3 but that's about it. I cannot install any other TWRP version but the one I mentioned. I tried installing Magic Rainbow custom ROM but it doesn't work properly (apps are super slow, entering developer settings makes the settings app crash, can't set a password etc.). So with that I can at least access the phone interface with limited options. Developer settings crashes when I choose it; if I can get through then I can't enable USB debugging, it keeps turning itself off right as I enable it. I can't use update function so I have to use 3 button installation, which randomly fails to work very often. Due to this I haven't been able to install any updates.

I kinda gave up on rooting already, I just want to get my old firmware back at this point but I can't even do that. SRKTools stock marshmallow recovery doesn't work either. It's as if TWRP 3.1.0 has taken over everything. On the rare occasions that I managed to get EMUI update via 3 button installation it would say that the update doesn't match the current version (or something like that). I tried using recover for b378 and managed to run the 3 button update but it always gets stuck at 5%. It gives up after a while, tries booting twice and then goes into eRecovery screen. My bootloader PHONE unlocked text is in red if it matters.

I've been actively trying to fix this for the last 11 hours (yes I'm not exaggerating at all). Please, PLEASE someone help me out with this!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
I've also tried using the unbrick tool of the latest SRK Tool 2.0 for b378. It goes flawless, phone restarts and does a factory wipe but then doesn't boot after the Huawei screen. It tries booting twice and then it goes into eRecovery screen. Have I ruined some hardware here?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
It seems like 3 button upgrade is my salvation and it doesn't work. Many times I hold it down, I get a slightly different screen but it again hangs at booting text. I managed to flash all recovery, boot and system image files and got the installing update screen in my b378 update, but it hangs at 5%. I couldn't even manage to get the installing update screen for common b136. Also when I try to flash system.img I get an error with flashing system which is FAILED (remote:sparse flash write failure).
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
First at all: The Magic Rainbow custom ROM is based on B383 so it wont work on B378 firmware thats your fault here.

Just flash the rollback package (find it in my signature) and after this flash B383 or if it not work start with B136. U have to do all with the dload method.

Fast solution?

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/p9-moonlight-rom-v1-0-b378-stock-t3567223

flash the B378 version. probably your problem is solved by this.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
I'm very well aware that Magic Rainbow doesn't work with b378. That's probably the reason I have those issues with it. But it's the only way I can access the phone's interface in case I need to use it for a fix.

I tried flashing b378 already multiple times, without rollback and it did not work. Is it safe to use the rollback though? My oem is c432, would it create any issues to use that? Should I flash c900 oem first or can I go with the rollback right away? I literally cannot install any stock rom without having frozen/looping bootscreen atm so I can't complete any step that requires me to do that.

I've also tried flashing b136 plenty of times already. I can't even flash the system.img. I can't flash the system of any of the b100 series.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
u tried the rom i mentioned?

it is safe to use the rollback package. any firmware after will retrive your oem to c432. so you dont need to flash the oem info package.

1. flash rollback package via dload (watch out to have only the UPDATE.APP file in dload folder)

2. flash B383 via dload (2 files need to be flashed!)

3. flash special SuperSU_for_EMUI5.zip

4. have fun

again if u can boot magic rom then you can flash and use Moonlight rom v1.0
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
I cannot flash rollback using 3 buttons method. I see the "your device is booting now" text and then it goes to TWRP menu. Nothing happens. This is what I mean with 3 button method not working. Every single update fails probably because of this. Is there anything else I can do to flash it?

I've also tried flashing b378 and then doing the rollback. Still doesn't work: It hangs at 5% as it did with the b378 update.

Also, is there a special way of flashing those 2 files of b383? Is it just one after another? I doubt I can flash them at the same time since they have the same name.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
YES IT WORKED! Thank you the rollback actually made the difference. I had to go for b136 and then upgrade manually through there with the stock OS though. And I believe rollback changed the status to LOCKED instead of RELOCKED. And I was a complete moron for I couldn't do 3 button update because my cable was still plugged in. I had a moment of epiphany when I noticed what the symbol actually represents. It was like discovering who Keyser Soze was lol. Let this idiocy stay here for there might be others like me; this way they might fix it without embarrassing themselves like I did.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
Glad it worked for you.

Next time just read the threads in this forum.

There are several toturials how to flash the p9 the right way.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Genysix:
Can you explain in detail how your fact? That would be nice
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
1. Flash Rollback Package

2. Flash Firmware Package/s

3.Unlock booloader

4.Flash twrp

5.Flash SuperSU

6.Ready

Just read the threads in this forum guys and you errors will magically dissappear or not even happen ;)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Genysix:
Every time I try to flash, with 3 buttons method, it puts me "software install failed"

I tried to flash official rom with twrp but he can't finish the process.

I tried to flash custom rom. When I want to boot, he bootloop.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Phil_UK:
Hi,

I am at a complete loss and going round in circles. My phone has bootlocker unlocked message at moment. In adb fastboot devices finds the phone, but the SRK tool fails to find it sticking on 'waiting for phone'. I tried to flasg the Huawei rollback but that fails (presumably due to being unlocked). I cannot relock via fastboot as that gives 'remote: command not allowed' error.

Update

- I have just checked fastboot - it says Phone Unlocked & FRP Unlock.

- Next I used Huawei Update Extractor to get boot, recovery, cust & system img from the "HUAWEI_P9_Firmware_EVA-L09_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B166_United Kingdom_Channel-Others" Package.

It seems I still cannot boot and device still says unlocked etc..

Update 2 :-

Copied the dload/update.app file from the HUAWEI_P9_Firmware_EVA-L09_Andriod 6.0 zip. Managed to get it to start installing, only to get Software Install Failed msg. However reboot let me start the phone. So currently have Build No: EVA-L09C432B166 on.

At this point I just want my phone either back to initial factory state or able to flash roms, whichever is easier to get to. Any help greatly appreciated. I've been getting nowhere following guides I have found, so would really appreciate some help here.

Thank You
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
Ok first of all, using TWRP back up everything you have there (backing up SD card isn't really needed unless you plan to wipe it too). Then, using TWRP again just

wipe everything but

OEM and SD card (external storage). Then, create a folder called "dload" in the main SD card directory and put ONLY the update.app in it (use the stock b136 as suggested). Now you need to flash a stock recovery using bootloader again. Just use the Huawei Update Extractor and get both recovery.img and boot.img from the rom that you're using to flash (in this case b136). Put them in the same folder as adb. Run adb cmd, write commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and finally "fastboot reboot".

Quickly unplug your usb cable

and use the 3 button force update (Vol Up+Vol Down+Power button all held together and don't let go until you see the update start). It should work without a problem if you had managed to wipe everything using TWRP. If it still doesn't work you could try deleting OEM info as well and flashing a new one (c432) which you can find on the forums. Back up is important in case it still doesn't work, you might need them to undo things.

If it boots, it means you've learned how to do it and you can probably unbrick it as much as you want haha. You can update to Nougat (7.0) and EMUI 5 using Huawei Updater 2.0 along with HiSuite, there is a guide here on the forums to do so by updating to b182 then to b360/b361>b378>b383 which I was unable to find for now. After that you can install a custom rom without an issue. I figured I wouldn't mess with it anymore but frankly it's likely that you are just soft bricking by skipping something very simple and failing because of that unless you went ahead and did things that you are explicitly told not to do so. If you end up having it unlocked/relocked might as well try and get a custom rom really.

If the update gets stuck at 5% or you have the icon of a usb cable end with a lightning on it your mistake is that you didn't unplug it. If the update keeps failing without these it's likely that you're using the wrong firmware and you could try using another one (FULL+PV+MV ones if you're going for a higher one). Or you could try to follow the rollback and then the update as I did. if you do the rollback then the update, your phone might get a LOCKED status again (yes not relocked).

If you are missing something or you think you have a stupid question and too shy to ask it here just PM me.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
So you're saying that you're able to boot your phone on stock b166? Then update it to b182 first. I had to keep pressing the check update for a while before it popped up. I was busy at the time so I didn't mind the wait time but I bet you can do it faster forcefully, got to be a guide around here somewhere. Here is the guide to update it all the way to b383 from b182.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Phil_UK:
I'm on B166 currently. Phone tells me it has update for B182, on reboot I get the device unlocked message and it sticks on 'Your device is booting now'.

Also tried Huawei updater....that sticks at 'Listened on Port 41279'

Thanks
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
Getting the device unlocked message shouldn't indicate anything, only that you didn't lock it again. It might be that you didn't install your current rom correctly. You could try flashing TWRP, backing up everything and then wiping all of it f. It means you'll be romless for a while but worst case you can recover what you backed up with TWRP and then flash it with a stock rom again. There are guides to flashing everywhere and I've made my own guide here. I can't really give you advice on your situation since I haven't ever been there. I just dabble with these things, so I can't really find a solution for everything.

You are connected to HiSuite while running Huawei Updater right? It needs to be able to see your phone (usb debugging on or HDB mode) and set to usage via proxy.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Phil_UK:
Thanks for your help. Where do you set the usage to via proxy? Perhaps thats my issue.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
Run HiSuite. Make sure your phone is connected to it. Top right you'll see 4 buttons: 3 horizontal stripes, minimise, full screen and X. Press 3 stripes one and choose settings. In the first tab called General under the 4th section you'll see Proxy. Enable it and enter 127.0.0.1 for address and the given listening port as the port. Leave the username and password blank. Press apply. Then you probably have to choose the system upgrade from the main screen of HiSuite. I don't recall exactly but this is about how it goes.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Phil_UK:
Many Thanks

I managed to flash B360_update.zip via recovery instead. I also have a B360_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip but not sure what that is for.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Lauran_N:
Now you need to flash that one with the same method. Put it inside the dload, delete the old one. When you're flashing b378 and b383 you'll have to do the same thing: normal one first then the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip one. If you do it via Updater you won't need to do this. Whichever method works the best for you. I wasn't able to flash b360 via recovery so I used the updater for it and the dial number update (a different way to run the 3 button) for the b378 and b383.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Phil_UK:
I seem to be flashing quite happily now :)

Hopefully I'll regain keyboard functionality in 361! EDIT : Nope....still missing keyboard input...factory reset fixed it yaaaay :)

Thank You
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Genysix:
I would like to try this version (b136) but I didn't find it for my device (L19)

EMERGENCY......

I just want to get back to EMUI 5.0.1.....i have the zip file for my honor 8 L02......but cannot proceed via dload method ....software install failed occours all the time....i tried to do dload back to EMUI 4.0 but that is not working either...

please help i have spent 5 hours trying to solve this problem
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Dipu's-honor:
solution

boot your phone into fastboot/rescue mode as directed above by keeping the volume down button pressed and connecting the cable.

e) Type fastboot devices in the command prompt. This will show if your device is connected or not. If it is, it will display the serial number of your phone and will list it. If not, install Huawei Device Drivers or HiSuite application. Now type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Once that is done, it will give you a message that file has been transferred and write up has been done

Now type

fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img

f) Now you can type

fastboot reboot recovery

and check if you are able to boot into recovery. Now follow the following.

recovery becomes easy with twrp so copy twrp.img file in adb folder

g) now type

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

4) Now power off your device, put the SD Card into your phone. Now press Volume up + Volume down + Power button simultaneously until your phone vibrates and it displays upgrading system.

5) Now sit back and relax and let the phone handle it.

6)if you are struck in bootloader poweroff device

now simply reboot recovery by pressing vol up+vol down+power buttons at same time

flash theupdate.zip file form here

flash second file update_data.zip

now reboot

enjoy the EMUI 5.0.1 with all system apps .....just the way it was when you unboxed it

TWRP

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] orangepowerpokes:
There's some discussion of Dolby Atmos on the Le Max 2. Is this a joke?

I've always thought of Dolby as a commercial enterprise driven compression scheme for multi-channel audio, and nothing more, in home and commercial theatre environments. Like Dolby compresses audio to then be uncompressed for playback using an amp that has Dolby's blessing ($cu-ching$ $cu-ching$), similar to the way Zip and Rar compress files on a PC for archiving, or even mp3 and flac are compression schemes for audio. In a way I consider Dolby ransomware: "Thanks for buying the Dolby disk. By the way, we screwed you. You'll need a licensed amplifier to decrypt the audio we encrypted for you."

So the tech goes in home cinema has, for me, been anything but easy to follow: dolby pro logice - TrueHD - 5.1 - then 7.1 Dolby Digital (that's just dolby, not to mention DTS stuff), now atmos is big and being thrown around a lot, and I roll my eyes, but for some reason I feel the need not to ignore it anymore :)

Now I'm supposed to believe Dolby can work some magic and make me feel like I'm in a Cinemark XD theatre on the Le Max 2 with cell phone stereo speakers? I just don't get it. Can someone explain why I should have Dolby Atmos?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] rickyx32:
Well like most smartphones on the market, the Le Max 2 has a single bottom firing speaker that's just there to provide basic functionality. If you're going to consume media for any extended amount of time, then you of course pull out your headphones, and that's where Dolby Atmos comes in. It's a surround sound technology, but it also provides you with system wide audio equalizer, and other audio settings and presets. Features that were fairly common in portable audio and video players back in the day, and now very poorly implemented if at all on smartphones.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] orangepowerpokes:
I guess I need to try it on headphones. Only headphones I use are blue tooth, but I still think I won't be saying best thing since sliced bread. How you get surround sound experience with headphones? There are 2 speakers, one on right ear and the other on the left. As for a difference in sound quality across cheap vs quality headphones? I'm all in for that.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Bill_G:
It's basically a complex set of algorithms that attempt to virtualize various sound "objects" spatially - by the way, on a stereo device the processing is not as advanced as on theater grade equipment with 5.1+ outputs.

I've tried it once or twice on my Le Max 2, and while I considered it to have an interesting effect on the sound field, it's not something I want in the audio processing chain full-time. Oh, and it works best with ear/headphones... ?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] birdie:
Well, I tried it and it makes music sound much much better. I cannot express in what ways it makes it better, but my ears fell in love with Atmos alterations.

If you want try DFX audio enhancer from Playstore. I bought this app and always use it on all my devices it's make sound pretty good. For volume if not loud try app "Volume booster GOODDEV" if speaker is loud enough, I just boost it 20-30% its plenty loud.
