Thanks for the files. I used my hwota8_update file that I got from the HWOTA8 package. I'm now getting a new error, error 9. The log is below. Also, I was reading through a paid service FAQ, and they said a possible reason I could be getting the previous error I was getting from eRecovery was that my oeminfo file is bad. Is there anyway you can post a twrp backup of yours that I could use to restore? Of course now I'm not even booting into stock recovery anymore, this error send me right back into TWRP.

That log was from your update files :) You did not include a hwota8_update.zip in your uploads. All other files were yours.

Here is:

I already included in the folder as well.Now just copy all those files to your sd card, they are already renamed.

Do you have to put 5 files you uploaded into one folder and flash the Huawei update house?

And the img you uploaded will fail (fail) during the recovery installation.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
MY MAN!

Everything successfully went through this morning! My phone is back! I picked up your hwota8_update file, and for ****s and giggles, re-downloaded the update.zip. Went back into TWRP, and everything progressed as it should!

This is very exciting. What a process. Learned a lot, though. And thanks for providing your linkfix version of TWRP, that should help moving forward. Back to getting LineageOS working... now that I have working files/process for recovering the phone just in case! If I'm lucky I'll be able to re-root using Magisk so I can pass safety net. Someone posted that whole process recently so I'm hopeful for that.

Thanks for all the effort for providing the files. I very much appreciate it!

I currently do not have os after rros rom flashing and it is impossible to insert sd card.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
Yes, it does you can.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AcaSia0388:
hm..

I am frustrated .... ㅠ. ㅠ.

I put 5 files in your selected folder and flash the update house.

But still infinite boot infinite boot after e-recovery. (This fails to download)

I would like to use Lineage or rr rom, but for the latest use, I have flashed the data, cache and system img to adb, but still 1) 2) 3) Continue my boot from the unlocking description.

I do not know why.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
I'm all set to retry LineageOS install! I found this post of yours in reference to the generic ROM I posted about earlier in the thread. I was preparing to flash kernel and ramdisk... but are you saying that I don't have to do that with the generic LineageOS img? If I'm using the generic img, the steps would be:

1. Boot into recovery, factory reset/cache wipe

2. Boot into fastboot, fastboot flash system system.img

3. fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img

Is this correct? Follow up questions: how do I install a gapps zip from here before a reboot? and then if I'm rooted with Magisk now, I will have to do that over again in the new ROM after everything else is set up, right? Would I be able to use my stock ramdisk.img for Magisk root on the LineageOS rom?

The LineageOS site gives instructions for installing through zip file and recovery, and says to install gapps before reboot, so I'm just making sure I've got everything right here!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] IOmega666:
What's that about the ramdisk you guys are flashing? I tried Lineage, RROS and Phh-Treble and never had to flash that ramdisk :S
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Since you're on Nougat still it looks like, then you deal with boot.img likely. Oreo and EMUI 8.0 are where ramdisk comes in, the process changes somewhat. I was confused of that too when I first started floating around here.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] IOmega666:
I'm on Oreo, on C185-371, that's EMUI 8.0, thats Oreo. I never did that ramdisk flash, I just get to fastboot, flash the system.img and voila, got AOSP running and I get to EMUI but flashing the hwota8_update.zip (with the zips of C185-371 in the SDCard) on TWRP.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Ah OK, I see your updated signature now. The HWOTA8 business is mainly for rebranding the phone or recovering from a soft-brick state. The latter was my issue, HWOTA8 was the answer.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
the ramdisk.img everyone is referring to is what some of us use to get magisk to install properly and pass safety.net without having to use TWRP.

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Hey bud. Not sure exactly about the gapps off my head, as I used a Treble ROM that included gapps.

Yes, your stock ramdisk will work. When it comes to magisk. you will have to redo it, after you have booted up the ROM for the first time completely. Before you flash the system.img though, you will need to extract your kernel.img from the update.app too and flash that prior to your step 2.

So after factory resetting/wiping cache....boot into bootloader and then:

fastboot flash kernel kernel.img

fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img

then continue to proceed to your step 2
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AcaSia0388:
I have been rebranding from China domestic to Asia.

But the file you gave me is the United States.

So my boot after installation is infinite loading.

I need the l29-c636 version.

Can you send me (c636) for Asia?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Wanted to pass along an update: after successfully fixing my phone back to stock earlier in the week, I decided to try LineageOS again last night. Following [MENTION=937333]Wirmpolter[/MENTION] guide I was able to successfully boot into the generic treble LineageOS rom! I did, however, get a warning of a vendor.img mismatch, but it was still letting me into the phone. I had a gapps package I tried to install and it kept telling me that the versions were mismatched. I got the gapps package from LineageOS website suggestion, but the package was telling me that I was on an earlier, pre-Oreo version of LOS (which I was definitely not). I gave up and decided I would try to sideload an apk from SD card, and tried booting into the system again. This time LOS wouldn't show me any screen after it booted up. I would see the boot animation, then see black. I was still able to push/hold the power button and see the power off/restart options on the screen, but that's it.

I decided to go back to the HWOTA8 method to fix me back to stock and that's where I am now!

Huawei Stock Camera App

I'm trying to do the Stock Camera app from https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75848917&postcount=2

these are the steps I took:

boot twrp, formatdata

boot bootloader, fastboot flash kernel, ramdisk and system

boot into system

boot to twrp, flash gapps

boot into system

boot to twrp, flash magisk

boot into system

boot to twrp, flash StockHuaweiCam.zip

I have Lineage installed, I have gapps, I have magisk (though no safety net :/) but the camera still isn't working (crashes).

What do I need to do differently? I really loved the Huawei Camera app.

The wat I usually do it is, once gapps are installed:

Boot into system

Install Magisk Manager

Copy ramdisk.img to phone

In MM: install, patch boot image, select the ramdisk.img you pushed

Pull patched image

Fastboot install patched image

Reboot to system

Magisk manager install StockHuaweiCam.zip, reboot.

I've also got a newer patched version of it:

Hey Osk4rin!

The other day I flashed the AOSP image in my MHA-L29C605B368. I was as stock as I could be except for the unlocked bootloader. Followed the steps as much as I could, flashing the A-Only image through fastboot (couldn't get it to work on any TWRP), wiping data and cache and factory resetting multiple times.. But try as I might all apps that I install (whether through an APK or via play store) can't open and keep crashing over and over again.

Have you experienced this? Is there any way to solve it?

AOSP 8.1 feels amazing and looks great, I really want to try it out but I can't if at least the most important apps won't open.

Thanks in advanced!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
I haven't experienced that, did you flash gapps and su img,or vanilla?

the only bug that I noticed is download pending on Play Store.

Don't just wipe data and cache, do a factory reset from TWRP as well,

So I was looking through all the current GCam builds, by that I mean all those modded ones, and I think I found the best one for Snapdragon phones. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.6.apk

The Pixel2Mod one is the best, but requires a device whitelist to work. So, you know, it takes time.

Ok... I screwed up! There is a new Verizon tower near my house and I wanted to update my roaming, so I did the *228. Alas, by accident I chose option 1 (Program phone) instead of option 2 (Update roaming). Immediately after that I lost LTE. 3G is the best I now get.

Tried the recommended steps. Worked for about an hour. Then back to 3G. THEN noticed I could not send a text message! GROAN...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wolfhelm:
Try this:

*#*#4636#*#*

Phone Information

Change Preferred network type to LTE/WCDMA

If after cycling your connectivity it doesn't pop onto the Verizon 4G network, reboot your phone, you should be good then.

I dont know what it is about that setting that is different, because Verizon doesnt support WCDMA, however this seems to select the correct type of LTE connectivity and you'll be in that. Be aware though, this will likely prevent 3G from working if you enter an area without good 4G coverage.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
I have tried all recommendations. LTE works for a while then it is back to 3G. On a further note, when this happens I cannot send a text message but a reboot will solve the text message issue.

I am at a loss. It seems there is no way to make the settings accessed by *#*#4636#*#* STICK.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Bigdny:
It not just you. I have been frustrated for weeks. I thought it was only because I upgraded to 8.1 but your situation just answered that. I just ordered a new SIM from Verizon and wont run any programming once I install it. I contacted Essential on it as well as others. I hope the two can work this out.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Best option is a new some. *228 is usually no suggested on LTE unless you really know what you are doing. The PRL should be automatic on LTE.

A VZW rep had me do *228 when I was having some issues with texting when I first got the phone. Fixed the texting issues but then I couldn't get LTE either. A new SIM fixed both issues I was having. *228 is apparently known to bork VZW LTE.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] glasscitysd:
Had the same issues after using the *228 method I advise not using that at all been stuck on 3g since. Getting a new sim thursday hoping that helps (using straight talk Verizon Sim)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
Here is a bit of information I have discovered. The phone is stable as long as I NEVER turn on WiFi! IF I have WiFi turned on (no connection to a network required) AND I enter a poor or non-existent service area, I loose service until I go back in with the *#*#4636#*#* and change settings back yet again!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Bigdny:
anyone with a new sim got it working? Verizon shipped me one today and put it in. Avoided calling 228 but cannot get the sim to activate itself.

Got a SIM not provisioned error. I turned it off, took the SIM out and checked it, put it back, rebooted and still nothing. Not connecting to Verizon Network. Im afraid to call support because they will insist to call 228 to program it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wolfhelm:
BTW the final version of 8.1 fixed all the Verizon weirdness I had going on. I popped it back in 'Global' in the Mobile Network settings (which is equivalent to 'LTE/CDMA/UMTS (PRL)' in the Phone Information section) and it hopped immediately on to Verizon, no kinda looking like sprint, no blank, no need to dial *228 for a new PRL it just worked. In fact on reboot it doesn't sit there with No Service scrolling across the screen for 15-20 seconds after boot, it shows up Verizon Wireless immediately.
