See OP...

"How does HWOTA7 work" G:

Example:

update.zip = update.zip (do not rename)

update_full_EVA-AL10_all_cn.zip (however) -rename to: update_all_hw.zip

update_data_full_public.zip - rename to: update_data_public.zip

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], im afraid I can't find the specific Magisk and all I can see for download is SU, very sorry
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilgameshhhhhh:
Do I need to unlock the bootloader after going on AL10B399SP17? I tried flashing the boot image but it fails when it is 'writing' the boot. It says command not allowed. Also after flashing the AL10B399SP17, I had a situation where the text is all Chinese and I didn't know what to do, so I entered my email, then pressed something I didn't understand then it restarted back into the first set-up screen in EMUI.

Edit (1): I unlocked it using fastboot oem unlock 'code', well it booted.

Edit (2): On my way to Oreo so I guess everything is fine, I also have network. Thanks for this dude!

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I will compare. I have DL00-c17 in HWOTA7 included (and tested) I did rebrand to every Chinese brand without success for L09.

Will see if your oeminfo is really c00 and if I will test too.

Back to Stock Firmware, what do you mean?

All operations are on Stock Firmware.

If you mean going back from Oreo to Nougat - then be aware:

You can't do it with HWOTA7 Tool (I mentioned in OP) , but I wrote in Post #3 a Guide how to go back from Oreo to Nougat here:

For some reason why /data partition is acting so weird. It is somehow encrypted, but when I format it into EXT4 or F2FS (which shows that it has 25000MB free space). Huawei eRecovery 'fixes' it and says that it is corrupted but my TWRP says that it can't be mounted (even shows as 0MB). I think this is an issue with OpenKirin's Treble RROS but I am not that sure. Will going back to EMUI 8 fix the problem or there is no solution as we don't have the 'perfect' TWRP?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jfer671:
[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], since oeminfo for EVA-L29 is still not out for you to include in your toolkit...mind telling me what I would lost out if I rebrand to EVA-L09? Besides losing dual-sim capability, would I at least be able to get the network frequencies associated with original L09 models? That being my current model L19 doesn't support 4G in any of my local network carriers, very odd since L09 and L29 do support 4G. I want to know if I would at least have a very functional phone as if out-of-the-box and being able to have L09 network frequencies.

Thank you again for all you do for us noobs out here!
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, data partition (internal storage) is encrypted and this TWRP has no support for encryption/decryption and can not access data.

It is also on EMUI 8 not recommended to format data. If you want you can format data to f2fs, but then a lot of apps (like HwTheme Manager etc.) are deleted...

If you want to go back from RROS to EMUI 8.0 you can use eRecovery: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77186132&postcount=74

or you can do with HuRUpdater. Here is described, how it works (data must be formated to f2fs):

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161314&postcount=3

But if you want go back to EMUI 8.0 instead of Nougat, you must place on external SD together with HuRUpdater the 3 Firmware zip files for EVA-AL10C00B528 (8.0.0.528) (2 zip files renamed). You can use any name for the update folder.

I was saying stock firmware because I'm still with MRv4 and when I used HWOTA7 to install B395 I got that error that I captured and post it in the previous image :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Just wait a few days. I think I will get oeminfo for EVA-L29.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Okay I understand. In this case, your internal storage seems not have enaugh space to store the Firmware in /data/HWOTA.

If you have a Backup (Huawei Backup/Titanium Backup) and if you have Backup from folders of internal storage - I would do a Factory reset before using HWOTA7 Tool - or you use my old method for going back from MRv4 to Stock FW: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilgameshhhhhh:
After testing this again, it seems like the /data partition is encrypted as soon as I boot the RROS. But before booting, I can access (even mount and see the details of the partition) just fine. I guess this issue is caused by the recovery and/or the GSI. I can install apps just fine but I think this would affect some (or most) modules in Xposed and Magisk. Thanks for helping dude, let's hope for better development in our devices!

FOR the OP to include in guide if wanted, EVA-L09, to get network working on oreo, you need to:

1. add these lines to local.prop in the "3.MULTI-MEDIA TEAM BEGIN" section:

ro.config.full_network_support=false
rild.libargs=-m modem0
rild.libargs1=-m modem1
rild.libpath=/vendor/lib64/libbalong-ril.so

ro.config.hw_dsda=true
ro.multi.rild=true
persist.dsds.enabled=true
rild.rild1_ready_to_start=false
persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds

2. To to settings -> Wireless& Networks -> Dual Sim settings and disable SIM2.

PS: DO NOT DISABLE SIM1 FOR ANY REASON OR YOU WILL HAVE TO FACTORY RESET.

Enjoy Oreo on Huawei P9 EVA-L09.

Nothing worked so I'm just gonna do a factory reset, I rooted my phone though, do I have to unroot it? And, after I do the factory reset, I'll have to follow steps 20-28 again right?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Right!

Unroot would be better before
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wize.:
Hey, I did noob ****, because when I pressed "Factory Reset" it rebooted into TWRP. So I did the factory reset from there, and got into a bootloop. I got out of there, and flashed the script, and I was able to boot again into my phone hahah. I redownloaded every ZIP from the steps 20-28 and I noticed that, when I downloaded the PlayStore zip again, it was 39MB, while the first one I downloaded was 37MB. So that must've been the problem. Unlucky as ****. But now everything works. So I just want to thank you for all your assistance and patience, man. Next time I get to load some money into my PayPal I'll donate to you. You're noble. ;)

If I want to come back to emui 8 from openkirin ROM can I flash system image of b535 and make hard reset? I don't have WiFi connection and I can't download all package from erecovery
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
[MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] Thanks for all these testing stuff.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Have you already downloaded the b535 FullOTA-MF Firmware? In this case you would have a good possibility to go back to Stock.

My new method → easy, you just need to flash TWRP - I would give you the additional files, you need and tell you how to do.

Flashing only system.img of b535 with Factoryreset - does not work, [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] has tested and also [MENTION=7519966]udamster[/MENTION]

So, you can do it like described here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77905152&postcount=833

- or you can do it with my new manual method, but in both cases you need the Full Firmware....

Few comments

1) To reboot to Recovery/TWRP from EMUI:

- press Pow, select Reboot, confirm

- at that moment press and keep pressing Vol+

If connected by USB, phone will reboot to eRecovery

If connected by USB to PC and you use Vol- (instead of Vol+), phone will reboot to Fastboot

2) On post #833, upon installing stock firmware through eRecovery:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77905152&postcount=833

To Wipe data and Factory Reset, no need to reboot to Recovery.

Wipe Data and Factory Reset is also available in eRecovery (screenshot attached, useful for those to whom eRecovery opens in Chinese)

Note: Wipe Data and Factory Reset from Recovery wipes also Internal memory, from eRecovery not - useful to save DCIM folder with photos, screenshots, WhatsApp media, etc

3) On post #4, Device Certification upon rooting by Magisk (SafetyNet must be green):

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161300&postcount=4

- Airplane On

- Settings / Apps, show System Services

- Google (if installed), Google Play Services, Google Play Framework: Storage / Delete CACHE

- Google PLAY STORE: Storage / Delete DATA

- Reboot

- Airplane Off

Check in Playstore if Settings show (at the bottom): Device Certified

If not (?) try as in OP post #4 above, where (you don't to delete Data but Cache also for Google Playstore and) you need to navigate by MiXPlorer / root to:

/data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs

and manually edit file

finsky.xml

Note: By deleting Data to Playstore, you loose its non-default settings.

Eg, if you use YouTube_Vanced Magisk module instead of YouTube app, you need to disable (again) auto-update for YouTube
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Firmware-Update for you

1) Download the two attachements (dont rename it):

→ Oreo Nocheck Recovery - eva_vie_recovery_nocheck.img: https://mega.nz/#!OARTBKqL!rzn-ifOYF_HChWuWjYoqvcJQEXsUDE25LcQyfedKM2k

→ ExtSD-FirmwareUpdateScript.zip: https://mega.nz/#!7ZQxhaSQ!FM_Tnawxi9LVxzuiK8EcSykZGCZ_5xZfhRpYGzSxtm0

2) Make a folder on your external SD (Note: it does not work from internal storage and not via USB OTG) - with the exact name: HWOTA

3) Copy inside this folder your Firmware zip files, with the same renaming of two files as for rebranding, then your folder should contain:

eva_vie_recovery_nocheck.img

ExtSD-FirmwareUpdateScript.zip

update.zip

update_all_hw.zip

update_data_public.zip

4) Flash P9-EVA-8.0.0-TWRP-v4.img: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903998750 and boot to TWRP, cancle Password, swipe to allow mofification, and navigate to the folder HWOTA. From this folder select ONLY ExtSD-FirmwareUpdateScript.zip → flash ONLY this zip file!

5) Phone does automatically reboot, flashes automatically EVA Nocheck Recovery for Oreo, load automatically the firmware zip into cache (be patient, it needs some minutes while you have a grey screen) and finally EMUI Recovery installs automatically the Firmware b535.

IMPORTANT → Since you come back from Open Kirin to EMUI you must boot to Stock EMUI Recovery soon the Firmware is installed and the phone begin to reboot to system. In the moment the screen is black, press VOL+ to boot into Stock Recovery.

→ Note for other Users: This Factoryreset can be skipped, if you are already on EMUI and just update the Firmware

6) Wipe Cache Partiton and do Factoryreset

7) Reboot to system, enable Developer Options, flash TWRP

8) Flash the 3 NEW Files (do not use the old ones!):

1. NetworkPatch.zip

2. VIE-EVA-AL10-Playstore+HwApps-v1.2.zip

3. VIE-EVA-FaceUnlock-Oreo-v1.2.zip

9) Enjoy :)

Wish you success, tell me how it goes.

The method is already mentioned here - but the other Guide includes in the download zip file also the Firmware together with the required files (for Users, which did not download already the Firmware): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161303&postcount=5

Install Kernel Adiutor

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor

In Phone Manager / Launch, for Kernel Adiutor switch from Manage Automatically to Manual, check Auto-launch

- Open Kernel Adiutor

- grant root

- in Settings tab, scroll to Apply on Boot, enable Confirmation Notification and Toast; Delay can be shortened to 5 seconds

- in CPU tab, enable Apply on Boot, change Min Frequency or Governor for big (cores 5,6,7,8) or LITTLE (cores 1,2,3,4)

Full range of new Governors are available

Reboot phone, after 5 seconds you should see a red point notification that Kernel Adiutor is Applying changes.

Once applied, open Kernel Adiutor, in CPU tab it must show values that were set before rebooting

TWRP with encryption support isn't ready.

China Firmware can not be converted to "European"...
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
There is no better TWRP for P9 Oreo than P9-EVA-8.0.0-TWRP-v4 as in post #2 - unfortunately it does not support Huawei's encryption (because devs did not yet break it)

Limitations (eg, TWRP cannot backup/restore Data, cannot wipe Dalwik, cannot install from Internal) are discussed in this thread

There is no Oreo for European P9 L09/L19, only this Oreo for Chinese P9 AL00, AL10, CL00, DL00

If you followed OP posts in this thread and if you applied provided patches, your ROM is pretty much 'internationalized'

There are posts in this thread with instructions about further 'debloating' - but be aware that remaining System apps (you can 'debloat' them), might still be useful for some users (like Huawei Health, HiVoice, etc)

Everything else is as in 'European' or 'International' version - this is the best you can have (you have all languages, etc), because Huawei did not and will not release Eu or Intl Oreo for P9

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3m2vinatohr04:
At the current rate Huawei is releasing phones - be it flagship or midrange, it's best to assume that support for new phones will be maximum of just 1 year. Anything above 1 year could be considered as "bonus".

On other devices, installation of Pie is possible but due to Huawei's recent deactivation of unlock code requests, future custom rom development would be difficult.

Sadly that's how things work wiht Huawei devices right now :(

Didn't try, but knowing how precisely are guides by [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] written, and knowing how he tests every step, I hardly believe that his guide in post #3 is 'useless'

However, procedures are very touchy and people who don't read carefully or improvise may easily make mistake (we've already seen alot here and with other his custom ROMs)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ReluctantLoris:
I'll explain whats happening. The biggest problem is that my phone has some issues managing the display. It only works if i go in TWRP. If i go anywhere else if goes on for like half a second and the goes black. I can't even access erecovery or know if it's booting up or not. I tried to flash the EVA-AL10C00 (b535) firmware with HuRUpdater but it didn't work. I also tried with b528 (i was on 528 actually) and it didn't work too. I just have black screen in every case. I really don't know what to do. I belive this black screen bug has something to do with screen brightness because whenever I tried to set brightness at maximum level it always went black and I had to get the brightness back down to make the screen work again.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
That means your phone has a hardware defect and this hasn't anything to do with my Guides.

Everything I wrote down is tested by hundreds of people and working for sure.

If you flash anything with HuRUpdater you have for P9/Oreo to FORMAT data with TWRP and Reboot TWRP before you flash the HuRUpdater.zip

Note: FORMAT is completely different step than Wipe.

If you miss the two important steps, then ofc it will not work.

Downgrade is even working with HiSuite (for this you have to enable HiSuite HDB and give HiSuite Permission on Phone Screen)

We have tested it several times.

Same with HuRUpdater. Even working without any problem.

To update from b528 to b535 there's BTW a new method in Post #5. Tested by 10 people and fully working: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161303&postcount=5

The only problem is that people like you have no patience and do not read, understand, or act on instructions.

And if you think they are "useless" then do it better.

However I can agree with Huawei - People which are not knowing what they do, shouldn't get an Unlock code

Everything is fine, the network is also working even if I'm facing a problem related to the performances of the network. I'm on Vodafone (Italy) that is currently the best mobile network provider here but it seems my phone is too often on 3G, above all when I'm into buildings.

Well, but it can be hardware related.

I repair phones too. And I had two P9 which had a Display malfunction.

The second was able to boot and show Recovery and Fastboot Mode on screen, but soon I tried to boot to system, it showed just a very small window on screen and screen can't be unlocked, because there was no reaction and the rest of screen was black.

Both phone's showed Bootanimation normally.

And both had no Brick in any way.

I just changed display (which comes original together with Battery in one set) and everything was working again.
