Firmware Finder is now accessible - you can try HWOTA7 (it goes deeper than HWOTA), no need for Change location, just Change firmware

Alternatively (if FF stops working again) you can unpack HWOTA b394 package from MR v3 thread (you used yesterday night), it already contains the three ZIP files as neede for HWOTA7

Be careful, for HWOTA7 you need to rename one or two of them (posts #1, #2):

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849

PS: If no success, try HuRUpdater (again, you either need three ZIPs from FF or renamed ones from HWOTA b394 package):

It worked. The finger print reader is working again Thank you very much for your help and Tecalote.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
Excellent, just a question, which method finally worked for you
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Rezei:
I used the b394 files from the older HWOTA method. I used the HWOTA7 tool to change the firmware. The files from b394 have been put into a HWOTA folder on my SD Card because I think the tool told me to have the nescessary files in a HWOTA named folder. So I did that and simply used the tool to change firmware.

Huawei P9 (EVA-L09) Pantalla rota.

Hello one question:

If I have the screen broken or melted (it is black) but the phone works, (it signals and connects to the PC) but it does not have the developer option activated, can a new Rom be mounted? I explain to access the photos of the phone because I had not installed the HiSuite programs, or other google photos, etc. I thought that changing the roon and giving access to the developer could access the internal memory and make a recovery (Dr Fone, EaseUS MobiSaver for Android, etc.).

I would appreciate if there were any other option since the phone is on and connected to wifii (I see it on the Internet router).

Neither do I know if the screen is dead at all (I would like to know if the TalkBack command could be accessed directly from the developer option). is black but I see that the fingerprint reader works because it vibrates and I do not know if I put it a few times the finger that is not able to remain that way (if you were like that, I should ask for the access code I think).

Thanks in advance
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
This is English forum, pls write in English

To be able to flash MR v4 you must have FRP (OEM Unlock in Developer Options) and Bootloader unlocked.

You can boot to Fastboot (switch off, connect by USB to PC, keep pressing Vol- and Pow).

In the Fastboot screen you will see if Bootloader (it says there: Phone) and FRP are unlocked.

If FRP is not unlocked you cannot unlock it without being able to boot to the system and enabling Developer Options (ie, you will need touchscreen for unlocking the FRP)

Maybe you could unlock both Bootloader and FRP by DC Phoenix/DC Unlock tools (you have to pay credits), but I don't know if the tools also require usage of the touchscreen

Btw, you can transfer files without HiSuite, simply by MTP - but you may again need to accept the connection by touchscreen

PS: If you would have problems with Google translations between Engliish and Spanish, maybe you can discuss it on the exslusively Spanish forum (there is also excellent user support there)

Thanks, it does not help much, since the screen is useless. It is totally black, and without "developer options" I can not do anything. My question is can you access the content of the telephone by voice? (TalkBack) pressing two fingers on the top screen about 5 seconds is activated.

Huawei P9 (EVA-L09) Broken screen.

Activating is easy. Two fingers on the screen 5 seconds and it is activated. Now I do not know if it works with a mouse and so I know what keys you are pressing. You could send me the pictures of the screens one by one until you reach Settings -> About the device? I will try to connect a mouse and listen to the keys (System -Ajstes- About the device- compilation number / software version, etc.)

it does not let me return to the stock firmware, when I flash UpdateSCRIPT.ZIP, it restarts but I get it that it does not pack (faile) or something like that, could you help me solve it or if there is another way to go back to stock ???
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
Make sure you rename the ZIP files exactly as required (OP post at the beginning for HWOTA method) and exactly to the folder on SD card as required.

ZIPs from FirmwareFinder must be from FullOTA-MF build, for the same cust you are on (like c432) and the same build number you were originally before installing MR v4.

Eg, if files are not correctly named, not in the right folder, etc, it will fail.

So read what exactly "something like that" it complaints, to have a clue what is wrong

There are also HWOTA7 and HuRUpdater methods, but both are more complicated (hence more prone to errors if not strictly following the procedure)
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Victor7w7:
(software install failed the update package does not exist. please download the package again, that's the message I get), I downloaded the firmware from finder again because I thought maybe the firmware I had was damaged but I still get that error.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Did you flash the script from external SD?

Because it doesn't work from internal storage

And which Update to you use? Which Firmware version?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TheRadziu:
Hello, does this custom rom fixes low Bluetooth volume issue?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
With the Viper4Android module (included, you must enable) you can do much more than just raising volume.

Tested and working for speaker and wired headsets, it can be done also for BT but I'm not using BT
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TheRadziu:
So, I finally got to installing this rom and here are some notes:

1. Updating magisk to 17.1 (16.0 included in rom) breaks fingerprint features (it's been mentioned a lot in this thread, but without mentioning real culprit). It does not matter if you update magisk through ZIP or directly through Magisk App, after next reboot Fingerprint ID is always gone. Solution to this is rather simple - dont update magisk and stay on 16.0, lmao(but you still can update magisk App just fine).

2. In order to pass safetynet I had to do the extra step mentioned in workaround (This one) every single time[and I did full reinstall a couple of times in order to find the fingerprint issue, since magisk app failed to download uninstaller (and flashing it via zip didnt 'fix' the issue, so full reinstall was only solution)]

3. This rom also has low bluetooth volume issue, but now i'm starting to suspect its due to low HW quality of P9.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
SafetyNet works with Magisk 16.1 as well - but probably if you enable beta channel it will push you 17.3 or so (besides, I have that beta v16.1 but I don't know what/why is it better than official v16.0, both are similarly old)

In this MR v4 you can enable Viper4Android (see OP posts) where sky is only your limit for audio tweaks (incl. raising the volume) :)

Hi [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION],

How do I know if the version I'm currently on doesn't have the vendor branding?

Current version is at EVA-L19C636B399SP01
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
Successfully updated from Magisk v16.1 to v18.0 (on Magic Rainbow v4):

1) First uninstalled Magisk v16.1 and installed v17.1 by [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]'s German guide (Chrome will translate for you)

https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...by-tecalote.859343-page-26.html#post-11276470

2) Then updated to Magisk v18.0 by Direct method

It should be possible to go by (1) directly to v18.0 (no need for step 2) if using Magisk v18.0 zip installer in (1) instead of v17.1 zip installer

Root, SafetyNet, Device certified, K-Settings, Viper4Android - all ok
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
What do you mean by (no) vendor branding?

Cust c636 means Asia Pacific (hence no custmization for a particular mobile operator)

https://www.huaweiblog.de/firmware-update-was-bedeutet-cust-emui-und-co/

However, if you are asking whether your phone is locked to the SIM from particular operator, go to dialer and 'dial' a secret code *#*#2846579#*#* to open Project Menu, go to Net Info Query, Vendor and Country Info and check if it shows Vendor: all

So I clicked "Change or repair file system" in TWRP on the data partition (maybe some others too... I honestly cant remember), rebooted into "your password is correct but encrypted data is corrupt".

I then reset my phone with the on screen button. Rebooted, reflashed ROM (cleared everything).

Now USB wont work at all? my PC doesn't detect it in the slightest. Nothing in device manager, removed all usb drivers, tried reboot with it plugged in. Nothing on adb or fastboot devices..... USB debugging is enabled (followed correct steps on page 1) and so is "prompt on USB connection"... no prompt comes up when I plug it in. It does charge though

Everything else on the phone seems to work fine, FPS, magisk + hidden (passes checks), camera, calling.

Anyone know what I ****ed up and how to fix it?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Data Partition must be originally encrypted (like original Firmware does) - so there's no need and a complete wrong step to click on the TWRP Button "Change file system..."

TWRP has support for encryption and full access to data in f2fs encrypted file format.

You can wipe data (if you like Factoryreset) but don't remove encryption by clicking format data or changing file system.

But you have already done..

The only way to get this Rom to work properly - you must go back to original Huawei Firmware which matches your model and cust. :

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3

Then you can flash MagicRainbow (EMUI based Rom) again - and use the installation Guide from Post #1.

I didn't wrote anything about "Change Filesystem..." because it's absolutely not needed.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gero802:
Will not there be a new version of "MagicRainbow" Based on "Oreo"???
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Not yet, but in some months.

But you can't install on Nougat. If you want to use it after the Release you must rebrand your phone before to EVA-AL10 and update to official Oreo.

EVA-L09/L19/L29 doesn't get Oreo, it's only available for Chinese models - that's why rebranding is required.

Soo I've flashed the firmware and everything seems to work except for a hotspot bug.

Android System kept on turning off the hotspot despite being connected to multiple devices. It would be up for 5mins then Android System would turn it off saying "There are no devices connected"

I've tried network resetting but it's still reoccurring.

Any workaround it?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
I have this MR v4 from its beginning (March 2018), used the hot spot many times, never had problems

I remember once I shared WiFi for several users, for two hours or so until battery was drained, another time almost the whole working day (but on the charger)
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3m2vinatohr04:
Hmmm. Looks like this issue is from my original 399SP01 FW.

Upon researching, resetting network settings then changing device name fixed it.

Additional question though, Is it safe to update TWRP?

I've used the one attached (ver twrp-3.1.1-1-eva_extended.img) and I'm afraid it'll cause an issue when I update TWRP.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
The latest one good for P9 Nougat was twrp-3.1.1-1-eva_extended.img as from post #1.

Don't go with some 3.1.1.2, maybe they are good for Marshmallow or who knows, people cried why they bricked their phones.

Besides, this twrp-3.1.1-1-eva_extended.img works just fine and fully reliable, I don't see anything missing :)

PS: If you decide to rebrand and upgrade to Chinese Oreo (otherwise just fine), you will see a mess there, TWRP not supporting Encryption and therefore not able to access Data (and it's subfolders like Dalwik Cache), neither Internal memory, and consequently not able to save its own settings and not suitable for Nandroid backup...
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3m2vinatohr04:
That is DULY NOTED! Dang was about to flash an updated TWRP :P

I snooped around Oreo rebrand thread and decided it's not worth risking the device. I got no spare phone to use so a stable ROM which is easy to install is top priority.

Also, I just noticed in the first page that you need to be between 394 and 398 before flashing the ROM.

I'm on 399 and flashed it. Did I just lucked out?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
Problem with TWRP is not about flashing it, but in later using it and causing a mess

I have also installed MR v4 over L09c432b399, and if you search through the posts, I think there were people who did it just fine with maybe b504

Note in OP dates from those times, and lower bound b394 was more important

Btw, having two P9's and running Chinese rebranded Oreo on the second one, now b540 - it is just fine.

I'm only missing K-Settings and Viper4Android from Magic Rainbow - although, frankly, rarely needing them :)
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3m2vinatohr04:
Do you have issues with the FP reader not working after rebooting?

I haven't set up FP yet but looking at the Magisk thread there seems to be an issue with Huawei devices.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
Fingerprint scanner works flawlessly and ATAIK totally independent of Magisk

You probably missundstood: You unlock bootloader and install a custom ROM (AOSP, Treble...) which is not certified by Google and hennce cannot pass Safety Net.

So Magisk must sign under the false name of another device/firmware that is officially certified.

This is the so-called device fingerprint
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3m2vinatohr04:
Same thing was posted in TWRP 3.1.1-1 thread but so far my fingerprint scanner is working flawlessly too.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
Just shortly - I have this MR v4 with Magisk (v16.0, v1761 and now v18), Magisk Hide is always enabled, and no problem with fingerprint scanner (works perfectly on P9), neither with Safety Net, Playstore Device Certified nor with Playstore Protect

Absulutely the same for Chinese Oreo AlL10c00 b528, b535, b539 and b540 (Magisk v17.1, v18.0)

PS: MR v4 comes wirh Magisk v16, to upgrade to v18 you must follow

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78410402&postcount=640

Just a question.. trying to use HWOTA method to delete TWRP and came back to fully stock and updatable firmware… i have a doubt reading the guide here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3

(The third zip file has different names dependend to your device: update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip / update_full_EVA-L19_hw_eu.zip / update_full_EVA-L19_hw_meafnaf.zip / update_full_EVA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip...) - Rename only this third zip file to the general name:

update_full_hw.zip

Now, ihave EVA-L09C150 and searching for a firmware (B368) as you see in the attached picture i have:

update.zip file

update_data_full_public.zip file

but i cannot find the update_full_EVA-L09_hw file…. there are severals EVA-L09_dt_default/update_full_EVA-L09_dt_default.zip files…..

what to do?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zgfg:
It seems that this update_full_EVA-L09_dt_default.zip is the third file to be renamed to update_full_hw.zip

However, it's strange why is that file listed as multiplicated (what are differences between the 'copies')

Tried for your EVA-L09c150 also through FF app on the phone, same multiplication.

Not only for b368, also for eg b369,, b385, b390
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tribal123:
Exactly!!

it seems that those files are duplicated for EVERY firmware of C150 version…

So i pick up one of this and i rename it in order to have the third file..
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
That's right - but be aware C150 must match your original device cust.

Was it your original cust?

You can not flash any cust on your device.

C150 is Telecom for example.

Did you have Telekom Branding on your phone?

Btw: Before installing MagicRainbow it would be required to start from an open Firmware and not with a branded one.

I made a Rebrand Thread too (for EVA)
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tribal123:
My original cust was T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom) so it's correct, right?

However I don't want to flash any custom ROM, I only want to delete TWRP in order to come back to fully stock and receive the OTA's updates.

Actually I have stock C150 B366, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed (no root) so I receive multiples OTA"s notifications without the possibility to update due to TWRP and to unlocked bootloader (I think)

Then it's very simple. Download just the one file update.zip - from your c150 b366 set, update.zip is not mulriplicated :)

Unzip, use Huawei Update Extractor tool for PC (search for its thread on XDA)

Open update.app (you obtain by unzipping update.zip) by Huawei Update Extractor, and extract RECOVERY.img

Flash recovery.img by Fastboot (just like you flashed TWRP) or even easier from TWRP (use Install IMG, choose to flash to the Recovery partition)

Reboot and voila

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/eva-nocheck-recovery-flash-unapproved-t3705125

If it boots, you should receive OTA updates and get rid of b366 (where you got stuck by sitting on TWRP)

if it doesn't boot go to Fastboot (power off, connect to PC, press and keep pressing Vol-, power on) and flash the same TWRP again..

---

Btw, try something else first. Power off, connect to charger, press and keep pressing Vol+, power on - it should boot to eRecovery and offer you to Install the newer/latest firmware (you need to have reliable WiFi with connection to Internet, configure that WiFi / its password from System before botting to eRecovery)

If it does, upon installing, you can take Factory reset from the same eRecovery (advice, make backup by eg Backup stock app, for easier restoration upon Factory reset)
