[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] albelushi7:
This is what I mean, most sources and Web pages confirm day by day Huawei p9 will not get updated, this is obvious In Europe, there are people who say that this news is fake and incorrect, guys are clear and even Huawei does not talk about modernization, of course disappointment and black point on Huawei and shame on it
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Akinaro:
For F sake... seriously why those random people show up here and literally post THE SAME article just copied on another site...

Learn to use bloody internet and before you post such dump thing check the source of those articles... you realize that they copy each other.

Dont come here just to post this...
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] haarli:
I don't know if you're talking about my posted article, but in case you do:

If you'd know how to use the internet you might have realized that my posted article is a completely different source and has nothing to do with the articles posted before. Areamobile is a trusted and valueable online magazine in Germany. The source is Huawei headquarter in Shenzen. The magazine requested an answer from Huawei's press office in Germany , they forwarded the question to Huawei headquarter, and after 2 weeks, this answer came back. This is all in the article and this is fact, no fake.

If this is really true or just a precaution of Huawei because they are not sure themselves yet, I don't know and I cannot judge.

So no need for your rude and useless comments.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
My insiders (Finland) are stating the opposite though. And considering that Huawei was releasing 2 updates per month on C432 while there are no updates for over a month that's a sign of we are expecting something big or a sign that P9 device has been abandoned. In any case phone is amazing although i switched to Honor 10 i still use my P9. I can sort out a firmware based on chinese rom but first i have to figure out a way to import manually IMEI1. Maybe i can try getting the very first beta fix the issue and move on with the next updates. [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] did you force install the b520 or you went step by step?

Note for my self to install external google apps

Remove chinese apps - debloat firmware
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kwonleader:
can I install emui 8 by debrand to al10 right?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
Yes but it will be pointless since you will have no IMEI, so no calls, no data.

kind of working on oreo firmware right now. Guyz im not sure if its dropped but seems they are adding things for 3 variables on Oreo firmware.

I have got your PM and answered. Be careful with this Tool you found. I think, we don't need that. I have a simpler workaround.

My Tool for rebranding and updating to Oreo is nearly ready.

Just have to test some things. I will make a Thread after my vacation with exactly instructions.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
Fair enough. Im checking if 3RDModem.bin and modem.bin is needed. And from what i see in the system.bin AI is there on B20. Also i noticed that the default ID for registering on network is Chinese. I have the full list of EU networks extracted in case you need them. So let me know (the funny thing will be by the time we manage to make a working oreo firmware based on chinese rom, to get official eu haha)

Added link with the worldwide network Registration IDs (missing from Oreo China)

Nuh its my home pc dont worry. The worst thing you will find if you manage to hack it is some mmorpg games haha. And honestly staying up all night long extracting images from oreo firmware and fixing - replacing things we need to make it work, it was the last thing i could think of hiding hahaha
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
[MENTION=4376225]vampirian[/MENTION] The problem is rebrand, not the build itself. We have to manage a point to C432 and showing right source in about info. Might be a help with Firmwares of P20l or P10 to prepare data and cust.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
Well honor 10 can be dirty flashed with P20 pro firmware. And i dont see why this can not be done between P9 and P10. Yes there are bugs but it still works.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohsinsha91:
because with update to android 7.0 issues started , main issue was battery draining, may be after oreo update it may be worse, and i read the reason in tech blog that huawei wont be updating P9 bcoz of battery drain issue. :D
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
As i suggested in the private message. Start by testing one variable only.

About reception , the only way of making it work is to steal something from Huawei P10 rom i assume. Did you check on manual networks? Any light there?

Otherwise can you try preload Network ID from the ones i posted yesterday and see how it goes?

Tecalote

Download HWOTA7 : https://yadi.sk/d/nb__D6Qr3YwJqM

Patch for rebranding and installation of any firmware (including unavailable)

The instruction is ONLY for the 7 android !

Part 1 : Installation of any firmware (including unavailable) :

1.	The boot loader should be unlocked

2.	TVRP should be installed in the eRecovery mode

3.	Download folder HWOTA7.zip (41,71 MB) and unpack it on your computer

4.	Download the Full OTA firmware version you need

5.	Rename the archived files as follows:

- update_data_full_public.zip -> update_data_public.zip

- update_full_...zip -> update_all_hw.zip

- update.zip file stays without renaming

6.	Then copy these 3 files in HWOTA7 unpacked folder . So, now we have 6 files in HWOTA7 folder : hwota7_rebrand.zip , hwota7_update.zip , RECOVERY7_NoCheck.img , update_data_public.zip , update_all_hw.zip , update.zip .

7. Copy HWOTA7 folder to the root of SD card . (Path: SD / HWOTA 7 / files.)

After all , for updating firmware we should select hwota7_update.zip in TWRP and start the installation .

Part 2 : Rebranding

1)	Repeat steps 1,2,3,4,5

2) Download the location we want to have :

a) hw/eu (EVA-L09, Europe, location C432)

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3itS/QWp7xDpGx

b) hw/eu (EVA-L19, Europe, location C432)

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/LTpk/XTU2rL5yH

c) hw/meafnaf (EVA-L19, Middle East & Africa, location C185)

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4Ym5/zFPXHnYyM

d) hw/spcseas (EVA-L19, Asia Pacific, location C636)

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5B6P/1KJ7VtA5P

From folder with selected location , copy only oeminfo file and copy it to HWOTA7 folder and copy it to root of SD cart (Path sd / HWOTA 7 / files ) .

Then, go to TWRP, which is in eRecovery ,select sd folder , HWOTA7 archive and then hwota7_rebrand.zip and install it .

After the rebranding, phone will be rebooted . After changing the location, phone will be rebooted through the stock recovery and the bootloader will be blocked.

Next steps : according to Part 1 instruction - install new firmware. Phone will be factory reseted.

I have done rebrand from EVA-L19C432B391 to L19C636B394.

All thanks to IrakliCH 4pda.ru/forum.

[MENTION=4840067]luiszevs[/MENTION] Thanks for your post however, but as you can see (some posts before yours = Screenshot), I am using hwota7 already.

But I haven't downloaded from 4pda, I used the source from Honor and modified it by myself for EVA with all available oeminfos I already have and I extracted frp.img from my own P9.

It's working.

The problem isn't rebranding. I rebranded to AL10 and to AL00. I am already on Oreo with P9 on AL00.

But the problem is - without mobile network at the moment.

Our intention is not to rebrand between other brands, we want to rebrand to chinese for using Oreo.

I am working to fix the network issue...

Tell me, which users allegedly debranded on AL10 Oreo and have no network problem - if you want to help. ;)

BTW: The simplified hwota7 you have posted is the same, which I use a long time for updating firmware (without the rebrand script): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3

The new HWOTA7, which I use now and modified by myself is complete different. It does rebrand and update firmware all together with menu. Similar as hwota7 for different other devices like Mate 10, Mate 9 and so on.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] haarli:
As [MENTION=4376225]vampirian[/MENTION] posted, Oreo update is officially starting for P9, P9 Plus, Mate8, Honor8, Honor6x in China.

There's also a new article which reports about this news on Areamobile, the magazine I used as source for my previous post.

http://www.areamobile.de/news/47888-huawei-p9-oreo-update-wird-ausgeliefert-in-china

In their official statement from the last article, Huawei said that P9 will not get an update in Europe in favor of high performance and optimal user experience. Areamobile now sent another request to Huawei, asking how this statement and the official rollout for the P9 in China fits together - I'm really curious what their answer will be.

Anyway, regardless whether Oreo for P9 will come to Europe or not, a really really bad communication strategy of Huawei.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
All this is happening because in europe the main way to get a device is through providers ssy Vodafone as an example. When Vodafone wants to make profits, they dont make the profit from the contracts them selves. But to make a customer get a contract is easier if you will sell the contract by selling a device or upgrading contract by giving away a new device. You see... When a 2016 device gets a nice update on 2018, the customer wont feel the need of getting a new device for 2 extra megapixels on his phone. P9 is an amazing phone even 2 years later. So back to the point, main reason why phones have to be rebranded to c432 clean versions and why phones dont get as much updates as in china, is the retail sales and the we dont want updates in EU attitude from providers cause its going against the sales targets.

Think about it... How fancy is P20pro and hiw fancy is any device from 2016 as an example. What will sell more on 2018?

PS i own Honor 10 as well and i can say that emui 8.1 is amazing :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Braggus:
One of these days i'll put a custom rom on my P9. This week i switched to an Oneplus 6 so my worries are over ;)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
we are only 2-3 people actively trying to push Oreo fully working on P9. I was expecting more devs to be involved to be honest. Seems though technologically P9 is way too advanced with emui rom than any other custom. Camera wise you need a good port of emui camera so you will have Pro mode and both cameras working. Kernel wise there is no option right now that we could have a custom non emui based rom fully working with GFX acceleration as well.

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] strip down P10 cause its closer to P9 than Honor 8 regarding the drivers.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
We need to rebrand anyway and could use every system, but not vendor.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
well the thing we need is in the vendor otherwise its pointless cause the binaries and the drivers are in there or at least was there.

Without getting what we need from vendor i can not see a way of making it work. And having vendor as a separate partition was the big turn off for me ;s.

Anyway ill try different solutions to see what i can do.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Sorry I'm not involved in this porting (and I'm still not sure why Oreo on P9 is a life or death matter) but I was also curious/concerned about:

-You can rebrand L09 to AL00 (Chinese Oreo) but baseband does not work, hence the phone becomes useless

-You are trying to 'port' P10 or Honor (c432 Oreo) to P9 - but if camera (diff resolutions?), fingerprint or other driver will not work, it will be also practically useless.

Btw, when people say here that EMUI 8 runs perfect on eg Honor - what exactly it means. Just because of Oreo look and feel or battery (compared to Nougat) or what else is improved?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
For starters dear friend the compatibility applies for all huawei phones P generation except p20 p20pro when it comes to camera which means the resilution in theory will not get affected. Fingerprint is generic so it should work. Sound will work as well and thats tested with p20 pro firmware to honor 10 which has a huge differences on camera, sound port etc.

Now based on my observations with Honor 10. Its lighter in a way and much more smart when it comes to the battery. Although honor 10 has AI that learns from your usage and applies some smart settings on the background for better battery efficiency. This is ofc something you should not expect on P9 with Oreo cause it is not only software but hardware including a chip to do the AI thing.

Oreo firmware it self has better battery but with emui i can not guarantee anything. What i want from Oreo is the smoothness as operating system and ofc to be continued with updates cause p9 is a really good device.

For me anyway if in working with it and been obsessed is because i am focused to achieve something that Huawei refused to do so and P9 is capable of Oreo. Otherwise i wouldn't bother.

I can tell you for sure that SoT without reception annd emui 8 is great. With a new battery on my device ofc. Standby i didnt charge it for 4 days and its still up and running. By the way something to note is that i didnt use official huawei battery. I used another brand and seems it gives more time than the original. Or at least it holds better. Charging a bit longer though

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CROrION:

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] haarli:
Again an update, Areamobile already got an answer from Huawei:

http://www.areamobile.de/news/47888-huawei-p9-oreo-update-wird-ausgeliefert-in-china-update

Huawei is standing by its decision that there will be no Oreo Update for P9 in Europe. Different markets have different demands regarding performance of mobile devices - European users are more critical concerning performance than Chinese ones.

Aside from the fact that is one of the most ridiculous argumentations I can imagine: I can't belive that Oreo and also Emui 8 customization would have such a drawback of performance on a powerful device like P9 or even P9 Plus.

But maybe, suddenly, in one or 2 months they will find that out and bring P9 Oreo to Europe... Or not.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
Whats europe, only C432 or all other cust too? As its the only one with the B5xx bump on Nougat.

However, the update is not yet available outside China but we expect the update to be available soon in other markets as well.
