Yes of course, I know Adaway and I used it before but I rather using commands and host files just to have it running without any additional apps.

I just wanted to share with you that possibility. It's your choice if you want to use it or not. It's tested on my friends p9 and I confirm that it works. Another thing is that you can add any script into your system using that way. I know that it's obvious for some of You but it wasn't obvious for me as I'm not a dev.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkinvader:
Okay, if you already went back to AL10 Nougat, I think that's fine. You should now follow the steps in flashing the Oreo ROM using HWOTA7.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdacalvien:
Now I missing OEMINFO for my phone, that's right I cant pass the HWOTA7 script.... I got screenshot on previous message.

You sure you didn't change anything in the HWOTA folder? Have you tried downloading the file again and putting it in C:?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
After restoring the Firmware with Huawei eRecovery it's necessary (important step) to reboot into usual EMUI Recovery (without USB connected) and do Wipe Cache Partition and Factoryreset - only with this additional step the phone will boot up.

(it's mentioned in the Guide too) :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Hi ;)

1) I am wondering why you didn't loose IMEI and Signal after rebranding. Which Build-Number was your original before rebranding?

2) 4G Icon is always showing on Oreo - it has nothing to do with the Chinese Firmware, it's also on original (not rebranded) phones like Huawei Mate 9 with Android 8/Oreo European Firmware.

Oreo isn't Nougat...
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdacalvien:
I have try to move the HOWTA from Drive E to Drive C, extract it with new one.

Firstly I success flash until Oreo, then downgrage back to Nougat AL10 without issue. So I rebrand to EVA-L19C636 only realize is not my Original.

So I search it and found it my Brand is needed OEMINFO for intergrated. I never do backup for my OEMInfo is my bad.

I have a misstake is I flash wrong oeminfo for VIE-L29C636, mine one is EVA-L29C636. The Firmwave I put in update folder is EVA-L29C636B399SP02.

After running process till into to the System, then cant do any rebranding anymore. Flash firmwave still can be pass, but System only extra app install and build been changed.

After update to Oreo, become like this. But the system wont go initial wizard anymore. Diretly going previous system and extra more Oreo app only.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You didn't read what I told you here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78405763&postcount=1165

I asked you to do a Backup from your oeminfo BEFORE rebranding to AL10 !!

Because I didn't found any oeminfo for L29/custs all over the Internet - that's why it isn't included.

And you are the second guy I asked to provide oeminfo for L29.

If you didn't know how to do and asked here I or [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] would had told you how it works.

In this case you don't read the answers provided for you, we can't do anything.

All you can do is rebrand back to EVA-L19 (additional with your previous cust and download the correct related Firmware)

EVA-L19 is similar to EVA-L29 (if you select same or similar cust)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdacalvien:
Sorry my bad, because long time not been here, the notification are different than last. :crying::crying::crying:

It's there any idea to force writing OEMINFO? I think I can rebrand to L19 also enough. Cause of Dual Sim.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Okay, then you did several steps wrong. Your phone is in a bricked state now.

The biggest fault was upgrading back to Oreo.

All you can do now is buying credits (15 EUR) from DC Unlocker.

Then download DC Phoenix Software.

On second Tab change oeminfo to EVA-AL10 (if the updating Firmware you have used is the one which is currently installed on your phone.)

After changing oeminfo to EVA-AL10, apply changes in DC Phoenix and reboot.

Phone should show now EVA-AL10 Oreo.

If it wouldn't boot up, disconnect USB cable and boot to EMUI Recovery and do a Factoryreset.

If this does not help, boot to Huawei eRecovery (Vol+ and Power Button + connected USB cable) and download latest version and Recovery.

This would restore the phone to EVA-AL10 Oreo.

From there you can go back with HiSuite method (described in one of the first five posts) to EVA-AL10 Nougat.

Now you have two possibilities:

Changing with HWOTA7 oeminfo to L19 and flashing related Firmware - or (more dangerous) :

Using DC Phoenix to change oeminfo back to EVA-L29 (DON'T DO THIS ON OREO) and flash with DC Phoenix the related Firmware for EVA-L29.

I dont wanna be rude but i dont think it will be smart to guide unedited GSI images for P9. For your own shake you will end up with 3000 posts of "help i broke my device" haha.

Anyway its a Generic System Image. In other words you need to flash system image on your device, reboot and taddaaa Nothing special but... There is no official support yet for P9 so its better for us to sit down and make a GSI for P9 and solve some bugs as well or add some extra things in there.

Anyway GSI is straight forward and many of the P9 community could go straight to Treble support and try out some images.

Hi [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]

Thanks for all your hard work on this.

I've tried to update to Oreo on an L09-EVAC432 device and managed to get to rebranding and updating to L19 and then to AL10

I'm getting stuck at flashing the AL10-b399-patched_boot.img via ADB.

C:\adb>fastboot flash boot C:\Users\Sean\Downloads\EVA-AL10-boot+ramdisk+magiskM\AL10-b399-patched_boot.img

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending 'boot' (16282 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.806s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.818s

The installation of Magisk also not working. Actually, it says it installs, but when you open it it says it isn't.

So, with no root, I can't change the prop file.

Any ideas please?

Best Regards
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Hi,

You can not flash the zip. You must extract the zip on PC and it contains 3 files.

The patched boot.img for AL10 Nougat (which you need to flash currently)

And the Magisk Manager apk (to manage Root after flashing boot.img) - same Manager you need then also on Oreo.

And finally it contains the patched ramdisk.img, which you need to flash on Oreo ;)

But if you used already the patched boot.img and it says, command not allowed, then you haven't a working adb/fastboot connection.

You must first enable Developer Options and inside ADB Debugging in charge only mode + USB Debugging.

Then you must connect Device with PC and open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (run as Administrator) and type:

adb devices

On screen of P9 you will receive RSA Fingerprint Request. Confirm this with enabled checkbox "always from this PC" and confirm with okay.

fastboot reboot bootloader

Then it should work to flash the patched boot.img. This are basics

I use always the commands from a smaller path.

Example: C:\Program Files x86\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\xxx.img

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkinvader:
Hey!

1. Used to have L19C636. Can't remember the exact build number (it's either the B395 or the B399SPO1).

2. That's what I don't understand. My dad owns a Huawei Nova 2i or Mate 10 Lite in other countries (according to GSMArena). His phone doesn't show the 4G icon on top of the signal bars if Mobile data is turned off. It only appears once Mobile data has been turned on. And he's on Oreo.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdacalvien:
Finally I recovered my phone.

Lastly at Oreo, then hurupdater to EVA-AL10b399Sp17a.

Flash twrp-3.1.1-1-eva.img, flash Magisk-v17.1.zip.

Run SRKToolHuawei-Lod-Chong-V2.0-20161002, change OEMINFO, but permission denied, so go Magisk and trust the adb Shell. Thereafter success to change the OEMINFO to EVA-L19C636.

Change location by HWOTA7 with EVA-AL10b399Sp17a, then the About phone is fine. After that change firmwave to Oreo, the dual sim is good.

Note: I dint flash NW Patch at all.

Tomorrow will continue to flash the playstore. my time is 1.00 AM, so sleepy
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
1) That would mean something has been changed for Rebranding to AL10 from EVA-L19.

For Dual-SIM Phones. Not for Single SIM as EVA-L09. However it was very easy from the Beginning (with FW b528) to enable the important function by changing just one Line in a local.prop file.

Not the same with EVA-L09. A lot of changes has been needed.

2) The 4G Symbol is showing on, but changes to 3G, if you call somebody. Is the same on c432 Mate 9 Oreo. But it's not there if LTE is off.

We tried it to make it similar on AL10 c00, if it doesn't work 100% as it should, then I am sorry about.

Not everything will work as it should, because a real rebranding to original EVA-AL10 is not possible on P9 and P9 Plus (because of different Hardware - and it's not the same than on other Huawei devices)

Few comments

- L29c636 b395 is Nougat

In post #1194 [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] (who owns variety of Huawei/Honor phones with different firmwares wrote

"4G Icon is always showing on Oreo - it has nothing to do with the Chinese Firmware, it's also on original (not rebranded) phones like Huawei Mate 9 with Android 8/Oreo European Firmware."

However, on eg Nova2 it might be different

- It' doesn't make much sense to be connected to 4G while Mobile Data is off, but it doesn't affect making or receiving calls (it immediately switches to 3G for the call)

So it doesn't bother me a lot :)

- I have Nougat on the other P9 and it's even smarter there, if Mobile Data is On but connected to WiFi, then it also de-attaches from 4G

Btw, Network typ symbol in yhe status bar is very small, you can use an app like LTEDiscovery to see not just is it connected to 4G or not but also to read the band in use, signal strength and more engineering data

- Btw, if I would keep Mobile Data off, then I could also disable 4G (or would choose 3G/2G as preferred network type) - if constantly displaying 4G would bother me a lot :)

- I have just tested by eg disabling VoLTE and/or LTE Carrier Aggregation, still the same - it is always connected on 4G (while not in call) even if Mobile Data is off

- I have also searched through some XML files (particularly those that are needed to manually edit upon rebranding if not using automated patches) and did not find the setting you mentioned earlier "isShowNetworkType"

Setting can be always added (with the value 0), but to which of those XML files

Nevertheless, the name "isShowNetworkType" looks more to me about enabling/disabling if network type is shown in the status bar or not than about controlling does it attach to 4G or not - if you just disable to see xG network type, it doesn't mean it might not still be attached to 4G all the tine

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkinvader:
I see. My concern wasn't the fact that it shows 4G (which is good news actually, since there are some areas here in the Philippines that don't get such a signal), but rather the fact that it shows an icon at all, regardless if it was 4G or 3G or 2G. Like what I've mentioned, it wasn't like that in Nougat and on my dad's Nova2i which has Oreo as well. In other words, I just don't like seeing any icon above the signal bars if I didn't turn on Mobile data. So basically, it all boils down to aesthetics. I'm just not used to seeing those icons when Mobile data is turned off.

I did try going back to AL10 Nougat and saw that it was the same, the icon still shows. So I'm assuming that it has nothing to do with the version, but rather the country where the ROM is from.

It showing either a 4G, 3G, or 2G icon is just an indication that it's the signal that the phone is getting, but not necessarily connected to the Internet. Once Mobile data is on, there will now be 2 arrows (pointing up, other pointing down) which shows transfer of data.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

So apparently, I'm not the only one wondering about the signal type always showing up. Team MT has a tool in the Playstore named Tweaker for Huawei and it has the option to turn off the said setting. There's someone who said that on the Mate 10, it works but hides the icon even if Mobile data is turned on.

So I'm assuming that it's a different case with different phones, and ways on hiding those would be different for every phone that has Oreo.

System partition is only 1.8 GB - to check, open Terminal Emulator and run

HWEVA:/ $ su
HWEVA:/ # df -h

It will show sizes for all file systems, and among others:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p52 1.8G 1.8G 38M 99% /system

displaying which mmc block corresponds to the System partition (also for other partitions), that its size is 1.8 GB, and that it's 99% full, with only 38 MB free.

Actually it was even less space available (few MB) but I have uninstalled Via browser (just remove to Uninstall) and Playstore.

To uninstall Playstore use MiXPlorer, go to root, /system/priv-app/Phonesky/

and delete Phonesky.apk (if I recall, it was 14.8 MB)

Then, you can install the newest version of Playstore from

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-12-9-12-release/

currently PlayStore_v12.9.12-all.apk (17.8 MB)

It will be installed to Data partition, hence you will get more free space on the System partition but also the newer/latest Playstore version :)

Note 1:

You can actually download and install Via browser from Playstore yourself - it will be installed now to Data partition

Note 2:

If you want (but no reason for) to install Playstore again to the System partition, you must rename it to Phonesky.apk and copy back to /system/priv-app/Phonesky

Note 3:

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]'s patches must be flashed by TWRP that cannot access Data, therefore he must flash Playstore (he adds also Via and maybe some other apps) to the System partition - which was already almost full and hence he flashes an older, smaller version of Playstore

Note 4:

To find out where a particular app is installed (to find that eg Playstore was flashed as Phonesky to the particular folder to System), download from Playstore and use App Inspector
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrzejDwo:

Missing Google services

Hello Tecalote and other kind souls,

I've followed the instructions in post #2 to rebrand my girlfriend's P9. It went through largely as described (more detailed description below). However, Google services are missing and tapping on Playstore icon has no effect. How can I install them, ideally without wiping the data again (as HiSuite restore did not keep the login details in various password-protected apps to the annoyance of my girlfriend)? Post 482 referred to the similar situation, but exacerbated by a factory reset, which required flashing ramdisk and recovery.ramdis. I don't think this applies to me because I am not rooted, OTA does not show any available upgrades, and my firmware is later version.

Many thanks for your any clues.

___________________________________________________

The following steps in the process went differently from the description.

Step 4. My bootloader was locked and the HWOTA7 tool did not accept my unlock code, saying it was wrong (I tried several times). But fastboot oem unlock worked first time with the same code. <shrug> I then proceeded to step 6.
​

In step 19 when I rebooted into EVA-AL10C00B535 Oreo for the first time, there was a Huawei agreement dialogue, but no Google Services dialogue, so I did not have an opportunity to accept Google T&C. This must be the reason there are no Google services on the phone.
​

After installing the network patch in step 23, I realized I needed to put more files on the SD for steps 24-26, so instead of installing them in the same TWRP session with the network patch, I powered the phone off to take the SD out again (would be helpful if the write-up reflected the need to prepare all the files in advance just like with the firmwares).
​

Since I flashed b535, I followed the suggestion in step 24 to install first the Cleanup zip and then VIE-EVA-AL10-Playstore+HwApps-v1.2.zip in the same TWRP zip queue. I realised I could not install Gboard.apk, because TWRP apparently only flashes zips. Despite this, the keyboard was eventually there with no need to install it, perhaps because it was backed up in HiSuite.
