Just the stock LoS "lineage-15.1" tree with all xiaomi8996-O-* topics picked and the vendor from TheMuppets..

Honestly I was surprised it compiled at all and the vendor files seem to be a bit outdated too compared to the other xiaomi-msm8996 devices.

Since Mi5s with same chipset has working LoS 15.1 I was hoping to get more out of it. I think an update of the vendor files might help: The SIM issues seam to be related to the proprietary "pm-service" crashing.

Do you know the procedure for updating the vendor tree from a new MIUI build?

Btw what do you think about a build server for regular, automated builds and OTA updates?

Someone could go through the procedure to get the device approved officially and be the maintainer. That would get us the weekly official builds as well as OTA updates, which would be quite nice.

If that's not possible for some reason I may be able to provide a build server starting from next month.

this thread is for the people who bricked their phone while re-branding etcetra and to recover it in easy steps.

First make a note of your IMEI, Product ID, Sno. before proceeding.

1. Download hwota.zip from the link provided.( consist of all oeminfo needed )

https://drive.google.com/open?id=10fNOKja7MD0MOtlPVQH5S9kQ2czdn9dC

2.Unzip to your local c: drive

3.Now download stock firmware of your model or rebranded model number from this website https://www.gizrom.com/huawei-mate-9-stock-rom/

4.after downloading place the files in UNZIPPED FOLDER of HWOTA.ZIP in UPDATE FOLDER.

5.Rename the file as following " update.zip " , " update_all_hw.zip " , update_data_public.zip" . very imp plz.

6.Now open "update.bat"

7.Follow the instructions. You will need your device unlocking code in order to unlock bootloader and install twrp. SO MAKE A NOTE OF YOUR UNLOCK CODE AND SAVE IT.

8.For those your are having trouble finding SNo. and Product id can check from this website or can use HUAWEI PRODUCT ID Generator.

https://imei24.com/warranty_info/Huawei/861956030103197/

9.Now, after following instructions your device will reboot and start factory reset, if it fails then don't worry just hold "power + Vol up " to boot into recovery wipe partition then wipe data (factory reset ) then reboot.

DONE!

10.For those who are having trouble with MEID showing 000000000 don't worry its just for MHA-L09(single sim) showing it as dual sim....but sim works absolutely perfect.

11.For those who want to install oreo they follow same above HWOTA procedure, download official oreo from

phone still not booting

Hi I followed all steps on your thread but when my phone booted up it says "software install failed" And everytime I boot up after that it takes me to Erecovery,I tried wiping cache partition and factory reset from recovery mode but the factory reset fails at 5%,what am I doing wrong? My phone has been like this for 3 weeks
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
Is your FRP unlocked?

You can check by booting to fastboot mode.

Download minimal adb & fastboot installer. Install.

Put phone in fastboot mode by plugging in USB to computer and then start using power + vol down.

If it says FRP unlock its pretty easy to fix.

If not you could try factory reset from recovery, then back to fastboot mode and check if FRP is gone.

Check this and reply back.

frp unlock?

I don't know about frp unlock,I only know bootloader unlock,I press the volume down button while doing that I connect it to the pc,my phone displays "phone unlocked"is that the same as frp?

If it just says that, and not FRP locked, you can use this guide to rebrand and/or get a working firmware.

The bat does not give me any errors, everything works as explained but once it's time for the phone to boot up it says software install failed,than it boots to Erecovery,I even did it twice first was rebrand than same model update but the phone still doesn't boot up

Thanks to this post my Huawei mate 9 is finally working, tried restoring it for the past 3 weeks but nothing, this was the only method that worked for me, everything on the phone works perfectly except that my single Sim Sim now says it's a dual Sim(MEID showing a lot of zeros) , but I'm just glad it's working after all this time, thank you to everyone who helped

Hi

Please can you tell to me why when HWOTA wait my phone in TWRP mode do not detect my phone ? Thank you
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ccwarm:
Please help

My mate 9 had a security patch dated in April last year. I was trying to update it to a recent patch. I tried a couple OTA passages on FF, but none of them could finish and left me with a starting screen saying your phone failed for verification. So I tried a full OTA package ( don't remember the number more, but it's a package dated Jan 7th I think) that passed the access test in FF.

The whole process finished and screen showed update successful. But all of a sudden, instead of normal restart, the phone started a downgrade process and tried to install B567 back to my phone. Then it kept going to erecovery, but always showed recovery failed after downloading a package from server and trying to install it.

I don't want to void any warranty, only trying to reset it back to original state. Please help.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] awais_666:
hi thank you for the simplified process my question is i have the unlock code but no oem unlock permission and i am unable to move any further is there any solution for it or i am mistaking somewhere
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Shadymind:
Hi

Have you check the oem info which you had flashed using HWOTA?

Flash the correct oem info for your device and follow instructions in case if it failed again post screenshot of the error.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Shadymind:
Hi

Apology for late reply, if you got the unlock code try unlocking bootloader using hwota, and continue the process

BUT before proceeding make sure you noted correct unlock code,double check your imei, sno etc if something missing in your unlock code.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] awais_666:
no worries dear really appreciate that you are trying to help when i use HWOTA first thing it asks to unlock put the code i have the right code but when i try it using HWOTA it doesnt flash as normally we go to usb debugging and enable it and also click oem unlock to allow device to be unlocked those options are not enabled that is why i cant unlock bootloader :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Shadymind:
Hi,

If it is giving incorrect unlock code then confirm your imei, product id, serial number, get the unlock code from huawei developer page and save it as notepad and try again with hwota....check imei on product box , for some reason after rebranding device gives you some different imei.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] awais_666:
the code is not incorrect and HWOTA doesnt say its incorrect it gets failed to write which is normal for every phone if they dont have it oem unlock enabled from developer options unless there is any other way around

Thanks. Tried that after your suggestion, and still will not open notes - same problem.

My build is MHA-L29 8.0.0.360 (C636), is this same as your build?

I am also experiencing other odd behavior since Huawei did OTA update to Android 8 with 2 Evernote alternatives:

1. Dropbox Paper - Unable to install completely.

2. Microsoft OneNote - Unable to log onto my Microsoft account.​

and Yahoo!Mail android app does not open emails when I select them from Inbox.

Perhaps I need to try a factory reset??

OK, may have fixed it. I went to Huawei Settings Accounts and deleted the entries related to apps causing problems such as Evernote and Yahoo!Mail and then re-entered the account details for each app. Apps immediately started working again.

Good morning on this first christmas day,

I've tried to revert back to nougat after I found out the oreo update is a big, buggy mess.

But when I flash the official revert zip (the one from ob2) my wifi doesn't work until I flash the oreo rom again. The flash goes accompanied by a full wipe in the original op recovery.

Does someone know how to properly revert back to stable nougat from OOS5.0 oreo without wifi malfunctioning?

Thanks for your help and have a blessed christmas.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Yousvel:
You call the latest Oreo a big and buggy mess when you can't even find your way around to revert to Stable N?

Believe me, when you follow the rules and search, things get easier. Latest Oreo is rock solid and with good battery life as well. Talking about battery life, I have lost only 4% overnight with mobile data on.

Don't call people's hard work a mess when you mess around yourself.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] azeem40:
I don't know what bugs you are talking about. I have Oreo stable and there are no bugs for me. I recommend going to the ROM development forum for this phone and looking into xxx NoLimits ROM by xxx. It is quite stable imo.

However, if you really want to go back to Nougat, you are going to have to format your phone (system, data, internal storage, and both cache) and install the Nougat ROM through TWRP.

What does not being able to revert back to Nougat have to do with Oreo being buggy? Before you insult someone else, make sure you know what logic is.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Damorphine:
Its not about just battery life. What about degraded camera performance, worse eis and screen casting issues. Not calling anyone's hard work, I know the team has worked hard but the update was not up to the expectation and looks like its still partially baked. It takes time. Remember how we got a stable N after a series of update. So there's no point i find to say the O a stable ROM as of now.

I'm guessing the big firmware size is so users won't claim they arent getting the size the ordered. 128GB is 119GB usable space. So 9gb of the Firmware size probably is inflated.

Yep, think this is the answer. When you add up everything on my phone (inc free space + apps etc) you get 128GB.

I've never had a 128GB phone with more than 119GB usable.

So think my 16.55GB firmware is actually only about 8 or 9GB, and the rest is added to the firmware size to fool the uninitiated into thinking that their 128GB phone actually had 128GB to begin with.....as you say, to stop people complaining that the phone storage is wrong...

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] mscion:
Hi. Some folks are claiming that the reason the firmware is so big is that Huawei is increasing the depicted firmware size to fool folks to think they really have 128GB. Would you please go to storage in settings and add up your total memory in internal memory to see if it is less than 128GB. If you get about 120GB then they are probably right. Otherwise my guess is that the large size is actually due to a copy of the firmware that should have been deleted when updated. Thanks!
