IMO you will be ready for HWOTA7 as in OP posts 1,2 but you will need to choose Location (cust) to eg c432 (EU) and use/download FullOTA c432b505 from Firmware Finder (instructions in OP how to use zip files)

As answered by [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], you first need to unlock Bootloader

PS: Do you have single or dual SIM P9?

This is something that happened to me when I used the Google dialer.

Whith Huawei' s never seen this issue
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thekiler814:
A little bit of topic but probably someone will be interested. If you like and want to use the Google assistant, you must know that Huawei has gone out of their way to make the experience awful. Basically every time you go in the voice assistance settings even after you stop hivoice Huawei will brake the Gassisstant after one or two uses and when you go back and disable the assistance of Google you'll see that for voice recognition there is a strange iFlytek voice recognition that you have to stop to make Google work again. The only solution is to disable the only Chinese app at the bottom of the attached screenshot.

Hope this helps someone and cheers!

Did you have Vodafone or Telecom before going to AL10 (what was your origin Build?)

If a phone is branded with Vodafone or Telecom it is recommended to debrand first to open cust like c432 and then rebrand to AL10 - just FYI

But on Oreo it's not possible to debrand, only on Nougat (Tool is working only on Nougat) In this case downgrade would be required (method is described in the first few posts)

Bricked p9 need help

all things went very smooth and phone was working fine until today i just restarted my phone and it bootlooped, i checked on fastboot mode it says Phone relocked and FRP locked. now i cant unlock bootloader to flash nor i can boot, tried eRecovery method but i guess firmware finder not working anymore.

Originally phone was eva-TL00(checked from imei) i rebranded to EVA-AL10 to get oreo and succeed after that i changed oem info to eva-L09 as the back of my phone was changed to and states eva-L09 so i want it to be matched.

now as i checked in fastboot

fastboot oem get-product-model

(bootloader) EVA-L09

OKAY [ 0.012s]

finished. total time: 0.013s

so what are options left? dont say about paid pheonix service coz dload with OTG method is available people on p20 pro using it very well. im just confuse which one to flash or any other method it would be helpful
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
If you were on Oreo AL 10 you must not had changed Oeminfo to L09 - no matter what is printed on your back!!!

Changing Oeminfo probably caused Factory reset, but things did not match (AL10 ROM against L09 Oeminfo), causing the brick

PS: eRecocery method has nothing with Firmware Finder.

Also, where from did you use L09 Oeminfo. There is no Oreo for L09 and you must not mix Nougat and Oreo Oeminfo - they are different and contain different info.

Did you maybe save Oeminfo that you had for AL10c00, to flash it back and try eRecovery?

You can not share Oreo Oeminfo from another phone because it contains phone specific info (not jusr is it AL10 or L09)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mastermind_hassan:
yes i know mistake is been done what i did is after oreo i changed my oem info to eva-L09 but it worked and didnt cause any issue , now i am with phone status relocked bootloader and frp locked (bootloader) EVA-L09 dont know what to do at this point
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
All kinds of HWOTA and similar methods require unlocked Bootloader - but yours is locked and FRP is locked (preventing to unlock Bootloader), and you cannot boot to System to unlock FRP (in fact, there is no 'OEM Unlock' option in Oreo but if rooted, hidden option can be enabled).

HiSuite method (to rollback to Nougat or reinstall Oreo) is practically not applicable either since HiSuite connection requires few clicks from the System (but you can't boot to)

I don't know what will happen if you boot to eRecovery - switch off, connect to charger, press and keep pressing Vol+, boot by Pow. Would it offer you to reinstall firmware, and would it ignore wrong Oeminfo to properly restore AL10c00 - but also don't know how could it restore phone specific info due to the messed-up Oeminfo.

Finally, there is DC Phoenix, 15 Euro credits to buy (not that much compared to the second hand P9 price), you can try if DC Phoenix /HCU client can unlock, un-brick and repair IMEIs.

http://hcu-client.com/category/tutorials/

Sorry, there is maybe something else but I don't know.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mastermind_hassan:
it would be very sad if i end up using Pheonix, because i recently purchased bootloader unlock code from dc unlocker and now this, well i can access eRecovery and it can factory reset , and says on boot that your device has failed verification and may not work properly after that it shows huawei logo with sound and animation but soon that it reboots and same thing goes on, somebody suggested dload method but im not sure which dload to flash and also not sure eRecovery firmware finder method that uses pc app and involves in changing dns its not working for me, im pretty sure i can be solved without pheonix if i get the right answers
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
There is substantial difference between EMUI Recovery and eRecovery. I have mentioned eRecovery and described you how to boot into (not into EMUI Recovery), because eRecovery gives an option to reinstall firnware (not by using Firmware Fibder) - there is no such option in EMUI Recovery (only Factory Reset there).

Still, with doubts could eRecovery really reinstall/fix your firmware and fix Oeminfo

And forget DLOAD, you are not on Nougat to flash FullOTA_MF_PV by DLOAD

Besides, DLOAD does not flash/fix Oeminfo

Sad or not, don't exclude DC Phoenix/HCU client if that could repair the phone (and make you happy)

Better then to continue improvizinng, and potentially making it even worse

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
So you have EVA-L09C636 - because this is (for L09) hw/spcseas

and you have Test-Keys because you flashed a wrong firmware.

and your Bootloader is from Android 8

Androidhost.ru has a lot of Firmwares, but currently not for EVA-L09c636 . Another question: Is it possible to boot into EMUI Recovery (Vol+ and Power Button)? - I guess not.

Thats mostly the problem of bricked phones. If EMUI-Recovery is not available, you can not flash Service Roms with dload.

In this case it would only be possible to do it with DC Phoenix method from here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78268341&postcount=1076

But you told me, you have no money right now, because you are studend

However, we will find a solution.

yeah i can boot to eRecovery and i know its different from EMUI recovery but i tried few dload with forcing dload method that vol +/- and power and it booted to EMUI recovery and tried to flash but same old dload error 5% and failed to install. also just checked my phone can be booted to EMUI recovery with vol + and power button

AL10c00b539 installation

1) Make Backup to SD card of everything.

2) In Firmware Finder, Add Model EVA-AL10c01 and open FullOTA b539, download three update zip files as on screenshots.

Download HWOTA zip from post #5, unzip and replace its three b535 update zip files by the downloaded b539 zip files - two must be renamed accordingly.

Flash HWOTA as in post #5:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161303&postcount=5

Note: No typo above, on FF, under the model AL10c00 there is no b539, not even b535 (only b535-log).

b535 (approved one, we previously obtained by OTA) can be found under the model AL10c92, and this b539 under the model AL10c01 - but both b535 and b539 have all_cn builds, hence applicable also to AL10c00 (indeed, you see correct model AL10c00 in Settings/About, once you install)

3) I did Factory Reset and Wipe Cache from Recovery - seems it was not needed (without, you will save your Settings and apps).

Booted to b539, made neccessary configurations: WiFi, Google account.

Restored apps and everything from (1) - incl. GBoard.

Some apps needed reconfiguration.

Some Settings were restored (incl Theme and Wallpapers), some had to be re-entered.

4) From TWRP, flashed NW patch from post #2, rebooted and got my dual SiM working.

Flashed Playstore patch, rebooted and configured Playstore - some apps will start updating.

Flashed Face Unlock patch, rebooted and enrolled my ugly face :)

Observe they are all b528/b535 patches but work fine also for b539 :

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2

5) Unzip update.zip from (2) to get update.app and by use of Huawei Update Exteactor extract Ramdisk and copy to the phone.

Install Magisk Manager v6.0.1, select to Install Magisk v17.1 but choose to patch Boot - patch the Ramdisk file.

Reboot to TWRP and flash the patched Ramdisk.

Reboot to System and complete Magisk installation per post #4:

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

Install BusyBox, I also always instlall Vanced YouTube Background Player - make sure YT app us not installed and its auto-update in Playstore is disabled.

Install and configure AdAway.

Instead of extracting and patching Ramdisk, download EVA_b539_Patched_Ramdisk.zip from my Mega:

https://mega.nz/#F!JwkVyRya!Rb7OUE0z3PEpXBRxGOM-vQ

6) Root is done but CTS Profile is failing for SafetyNet.

Thanks for the tip from [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] - it's because b539 is not yet approved (hence no b539 OTA yet).

Change the phone fingerprint to an approved one, eg to Huawei Honor 9 (8.0.0), follow:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77209279&postcount=155

7) Complete b539 Oreo configuration as for b535: PNS Notifications in Background, etc.

Manually Update Firmware

Firmware EVA-AL10 8.0.0.539 (C00)​

One post before mine, [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] give you a detailed instruction how to update the Firmware.

The new Firmware is 8.0.0.539 (C00) - however not yet approved. If you like to have Root, ctsProfile will be false → but you can get it true with changing the Fingerprint (see post from zgfg).

Required for the update is installed TWRP → see Post #2 (after the rebranding instruction)

Additonal information to the manual Firmware-Update from b535 (or even from b528) → to b539 → or even to next version in the future:

1) Download current Firmware 8.0.0.539 (C00):

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3115/g1699/v200339/f1/full/update.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3115/g1699/v200339/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3115/g1699/v200339/f1/full/EVA-AL10_all_cn/update_full_EVA-AL10_all_cn.zip

2) Let Windows show file extensions (to make sure you have at the end not zip.zip) and rename the last two zip files - (update.zip - do not rename)

update_data_full_public.zip - rename to: update_data_public.zip

update_full_EVA-AL10_all_cn.zip - rename to: update_all_hw.zip

3) Download Firmware-Update.zip file and extract (unzipp) it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603867993

Inside is the folder: HWOTA and contains two files. Do not rename that files.

4) Create a folder on your external SD with the Name HWOTA in the main directory (dont use another name!) - or copy the HWOTA folder from unzipped Firmware-Update.zip instead to your external SD

5) So you have now the folder HWOTA on your external SD (without Subfolders between)

6) The folder HWOTA must contain:

eva_vie_recovery_nocheck.img

ExtSD-FirmwareUpdateScript.zip

update.zip

update_all_hw.zip

update_data_public.zip

7) Now boot to TWRP, cancle Password, allow system modification, go to Install, select storage: Micro SD - and flash ONLY the one zip file with the name: ExtSD-FirmwareUpdateScript.zip

8) The phone will reboot and needs a while to flash automatically the No Check EMUI-Recovery and this needs also a while until the Firmware will be flashed automatically as well as Phone reboots after. Just wait, until it boot up.

→ if you have Root, there is no need to Unroot before and you will loose no installed apps, except probably Playstore (if it was not updated, if it was updated, you will also not loose Playstore and not Keyboard)

→ but you have to flash the Network Patch from Post #2 - and if Playstore is missing, just install the attached Playstore apk and reboot phone.

I don't have it either - don't remember was it there before flashing the patches, albeit it should have been, according to b539 Change Log.

Might be rhat it was removed by NW patch, since the patch originates from b528/b535 before the SOS feature was introduced

Btw, as of today, there is b539 showing on Firmware Finder also for EVA-AL10c00 - but so far only as OTA-MF (manual update via HWOTA from post #4 reauires FullOTA-MF)

But it probably means that b539 by OTA will really come soon

i am unable to re run the update procedure, it fails in the first step where it installs TWRP. the TWRP recovery i can boot to is version 3.2.1-0. is there a way i could do a clean install through fastboot or TWRP? if not, can i rollback to EMUI 5 without being actually able to boot into system.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Don't understand - do you still have TWRP or not?

If you have, you don't need to reinstall TWRP.

If you didn't delete HWOTA folder on SD card, it should be still there.

Or you can take the SD card out and fill it on the PC

It is also possible to transfer files from PC to SD card when booted to TWRP, and TWRP recognizes OTG stick as well if you have it - you can copy between OTG and SD card from TWRP (but without modifying HWOTA script zip you cannot flash update from OTG, only from SD card)
