[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praxius:
Hello. I got an interesting problem happening with my Huawei P9 EVA09 I believe the EVA is.

Anyways a few months back I was attempting to get the Android Update off of Huawei's web site for my phone. During the steps, I either missed the note or it was never mentioned, to put the DLoad Folder and ZIP stuff on the SD Card and I copied the files onto the Internal Drive Instead.

Now whether I downloaded the wrong file or I was linked to the wrong file, my phone failed the Flash/Update about like 10-25% saying it was not compatible or wrong version (again, we're going a few months back in memory here)

I learned that rather than cancelling the process and going back to the regular Android, it just screwed the whole phone up and is stuck in an infinite boot loop.

Huawei's Desktop app you connect with the phone won't help

Recovering by downloading the latest version via WiFi on the P9 Fails to get the Package Info, so that's out of the question.

Wipe Data and Factory Reset fails at 0% with an exclamation mark in less than a second.

I also spent days searching the net for solutions but every search just brings up the same solution:

Get the correct DLoad/ZIP for the model, copy it to the SD, then boot the phone with the key presses that start the flashing process.... Problem solved.

But it's not because every time I do this, my phone finds the one on the internal storage and loads that before going for the one on the SD Card, and I have no idea how to gain access to the internal drive to remove the DLoad folder to fix my phone.

I have been primarily a Windows Mobile user for the last number of years, but my 950XL has been giving me problems with my SIM card flaking out every so often, requiring a reboot. I got the P9 essentially for free when I upgraded my plan with Vodafone Aus. So my experience with Android and these sorts of messes is limited.

I'm used to fixing and figuring out Windows Issues since Windows 3.11.... But this issue with my P9 has got me stumped. After searching online on and off for the last few months, I figured this is my last hope to ask the experts here and hopefully find a solution.

I got the right Flash/ROM/Recovery for my P9 all ready to go and load from the SD, followed videos, got it all sorted.... I just can't get it to work with the other files stuck on the Internal Drive and I need access to delete the folder.

But I'm in a Boot Loop.

By the way, it's a Locked P9 from Vodafone Australia.

Any assistance will be appreciated greatly. It's a nice phone, but it was two Android Versions Out Dated and I didn't think the Files from Huawei's site would have messed it up so badly. If this is fixed, I'll leave it at the original version until I need to replace the P9. Sucks, but I would rather that than a bricked device.

I'm back on my 950XL for now and was going fine so I put this problem on the back burner. But now the SIM card is messing up in the 950XL, requiring a restart every day or two. So now I need to try and fix the P9.

Thanks in Advance.

TL;DR

I need to gain access to the Internal Drive of a Locked P9 while stuck in a Boot Loop so I can delete the DLoad Folder located on the Internal Drive.
