Make this System Restore, it comes also to some other Users and does not make anything bad.

If you have important data, just make a Backup before to be sure.

Edit:

The only thing is, you should have installed the original recovery_ramdisk.img (not TWRP)

If you don't have TWRP installed, it's no problem.

But if you have flashed TWRP, you must restore recovery_ramdisk.img (extracted from update.app)

I can also upload later.

Let me know.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor7w7:
Thank you very much and if I before going to Oreo has the EVA-L09 version.

I will take into account the small tutorial that you gave me, but I have changed my mind and now I decided to stay with root, and I would like to know how to install xposed framework while in oreo, try to do it through the module that is in magisk but after restarting I was aranque infinite :( some idea? and thanks you are great
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
No, if you make OTA (in your case shows as system restore OTA) - then you must have Stock Recovery before OTA.

Did you flash TWRP or not?

If not, it's good, in this case you have already Stock Recovery and must do nothing - only let do this OTA Update.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Your welcome :)

You tried to install Xposed Framework as Magisk module, and after restart you have Bootloop - or what to you mean with "aranque infinite"?

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You can not use HWOTA7 for Installing/Update OREO Firmware - if you are already on Oreo. HWOTA7 is working on Nougat → with the option to update the Firmware from Nougat to Oreo.

For updating Firmware on Oreo you would need HWOTA8 but this is not released yet.

If you want to flash again the OREO Firmware, you can use HuRUpdater (I made a Guide in Post #3: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161314&postcount=3) You can see, how it works, but if you do that, you must use the OREO Firmware (because the Guide and Link in Post #3 is for Downgrade)

→ I would not recommend, because with this method you loose your data

I would recommend you to do the OTA

1) Unzip (extract) RAMDISK.zip:https://mega.nz/#!7QRi1Qbb!JoVA_AoFTaIFyCKP6fDeQ_6KLIqZzJpcQbIjm5LIgGI → RAMDISK.IMG (original ramdisk.img without patch)

2) Unzip (extract) B528-RECOVERY_RAMDIS.zip: https://mega.nz/#!PNQmiQAa!jSfGntw8072gQzkrPrDvxYJhTNRyXWz42Y6KZPNhk-c → RECOVERY_RAMDIS.zip (EMUI Stock Recovery)

3) Flash RAMDISK.IMG in Fastboot Mode:

fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img

This removes Root - its enaugh for chinese OTA (the magisk img in /data does not matter) - optional you can uninstall Magisk Manager from Settings/Apps

4) Flash RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img in Fastboot Mode:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img

5) Let the OTA install the update (for the same version) and wait, until everything is done by OTA - you wil not loose data

6) After OTA, if you prefere Root - flash again the AL10-OREO-patched_ramdisk.img (for b528 as long you are on this Firmware) and install Magisk Manager

7) If you like, you can do extended Root-method from here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77209279&postcount=155

Thanks for the replies. I followed the steps in the instructions closely, including using Mixplorer and Magisk. I've had to restore back to stock because I needed my phone. I'll have another try work permitting later on. I was able to see hidden files using Mixplorer. Device is a L09.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeldq:
So, quick question on this. Have you tried also removing root/bootloader and still works? If a low level factory keeps the edited system files I wonder if I could close bootloader, remove root and leave it as a pristine phone.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] urbanmec:
1. As most people like getting rid of bloatware ,a solution to get google assistant without removing HiVoice is irrelevent , I can provide if needed anyway .

2. For the Sim Icon , follow these steps :

- Install "quick shortcut maker" from playstore(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut

- Open it , and look for : com.android.settings/com.android.settings.SignalIconStyle

- Once found , click on : Try !

- A Menu opens for Icon style , chose Simple Icon

- Close everything , Uninstall Quick Shortcut Maker if you want , and you are done ;) Enjoy.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
It's not clear to me if you really did a low-level Factory reset - it can only started from Settings/System/Factory reset with wipe internal storage. Maybe you meant normal Factory reset, which can started directly from Stock EMUI Recovery?

You can remove Root with steps 1 - 4 from here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77255913&postcount=304

You can not remove Bootloader - then your phone would be bricked :silly:

But you can try relock the Bootloader (but not with HWOTA7 Tool - because it works only on Nougat). But if you relock the Bootloader, you do it at your own risk - I have it not tested yet

If you decide to give it a try, let us know :o

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
That's because OTA is set to "night update".

If you feel, everything is okay with your Phone and you don't need the update - you can disable automatic updates in Systemupdate Settings as well as in Developer Options.

But if you feel you need this update, then you can do the steps which I have mentioned here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77255913&postcount=304
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mco489:
It is not related - two different issues.

1. Google Assistant - removed HiVoice and it started working immediately.

2. Sim Icon - I have two network symbols in the notification bar. But of course only one sim card + a sd card, since it is an EVA-L09. I have attached a screenshot. There is also no option to disable Sim two and it asks for the PIN of Sim 2 upon a reboot. Might be that the device is actually dual sim capable with a correct sim tray - I saw you mentioned that on the german thread.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Did you edit local.prop as dedcribed in OP post #2 - pay attention for a difference in editinh local.prop for L09 vs L19

If you suspect that your phone was really L19, make a simple experiment, remove SD card and put the SIM to that slot
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonathanhenry81:
In developer options Auto update is disabled. But even reboot at night.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mco489:
Yes I did that - the phone is branded with L09 on the back. Can't test it as the sim try is a bit different compared to the Dual Sim variant, at least not without cutting the sim card.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Yes, original tray for L09 is a little bit different, it's SD card slot cannot accomodate SIM card but only SD.

But if you have an L19 at hand, ypu can use its tray. I was experimenting months ago trying to make L19 with working dual SIM from my L09 - at that time I ordered an L19 tray and (since it's nicer) I'm still using it in my L09 although (rebranded to L19, Nougat) it was still unable to recognize that second SIM.

Btw, there is another (hardware) diff between L09 - it supports NFC and L19 - it does not support NFC.

Hence if your local.prop is correctly edited for L09, test if NFC works
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] urbanmec:
No , the second point doesn't have anything to do with the google assistant , he just originally had two questions , one for the google assistant and the second for removing the sim icon from the status bar.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeldq:
Yeah my bad, wanted to say remove bootloader lock hehe.

My idea is trying to see if i can remove root, relock bootloader , restore original recovery and see if the changes for L09 survive official chinese OTAs.

Guess no one tried yet.

On the other hand, is there a way to remove the pinyin characters from the dialer screen? My wife makes funny faces.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
There is no OTA over b528 yet (to try) but it was already discussed last days. In short (as [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] answered you) you need to flash Oreo stock eRecovery over the TWRP.

I woild also flash original Oreo boot partition over the patched one.

For OTA rhere was never needed to relock Bootloader (unlocked Bootloader does not prevent/affect OTA) - however OTA itself may lock the Bootloader back (which is not the same as if xou relock Bootloader manually)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I see :) I looked backwards in the Thread, he was asking for "Can I somehow remove the network symbol of the second disabled sim slot at the top?"

And your solution is for removing the second SIM Icon..

Which is your alternative solution for enabling Google Assistant? This would be interesting for me.

Thanks :good:
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeldq:
Thank you. I'l wait then for when a new OTA appears. As said I want to double check if updating that way, officialy, will keep the files modified to allow L09 sim/nfc to work.

Thanks guys.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
That's strange/interesting. I saw all related posts now and the answers from [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION]

Another question - Do you use PIN for SIM 1 ?

If yes, maybe you try to disable PIN for SIM 1 (can also be done in another phone, if not possible in this phone) and look if it still occurs (without PIN)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
To prevent (soft) brick with Oreo OTA b529+ if it comes (and someone accepts) while having TWRP, it's recommended to disable:

Settings / System Update / Update Settings / Auto-download
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You can also disable it in Settings/System/Systemupdate - 3dot menu /Update overnight (disable) and Update settings (disable Auto-Download)

And you can look in /data/ota_package if the downloaded Firmware is stored there

Edit: [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION]

I didn't saw your post right before mine. I am using xda Labs App and just answered to the question of jonathanhenry81
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] urbanmec:
I would check first how many IMEI Codes are there in *#06#, if only one IMEI is shown then your phone is not dual sim capable. if there are two IMEIs , then your back cover had been replaced from original dual sim (AL10 or L19 etc) by an L09 one (it happens a lot with purshased second hand phones ).

as for the two signal icons, it is totally normal , it is due to the fact we are affecting a modem lib to an inexisting modem slot (modem1) , as putting the phone in dsds mode, to force it to detect signal , it was just a temporary solution , the more complete solution is a bit more complicated , where you get a completely full L09 experience with only one sim fully functional( I hesitate to suggest the second solution because that would push most people who already flashed to reconfigure again ).

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

I would suggest just disabling temporarely the update app.(through xml) that way you wouldn't lose the update app, and also it wouldn't update in the background , especially for the restaure package .

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

The solution is as simple as installingthe google app through playstore.

then go to : /cust/All/cn/xml/hw_defaults.xml and add the line :

<integer is_show_google="1"/>

hope it helps.

hi tecalote Today again the mobil awoke in recovery mode. good decided to update by ota, of course doing everything like the tutorial above.

in the decias it was optional to remove magisk, but I just remove root and launch ota update and when the mobile restarts again it enters twrp and for the same reason does not apply ota update.

already remove twrp ... I'm in the download the firm. to see if now I update the ota.

then I finish the update at the end.

Even just when the mobil turned on, I again notified myself of an update, the same one that had supposedly been applied.

I'm all the same ... and even if I disable the update options, it keeps sending me to restart the mobile phone at night.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I am sorry for your troubles and have no idea why this happened to you. Since you are the only person who has this issue.

In my opinion this means something isn't as it should be.

That's why I would recommend to use the restore function of eRecovery (which is available for Chinese Phones)

For this you must Backup your stuff (just to be sure) and then:

Connect the Phone with the USB data cable for charging the Phone. (not on PC)

After go the restart and press Vol+ (or if phone is shutdown press Vol+ and Power) to restart phone into eRecovery mode.

(it's basically different to Stock EMUI Recovery)

Use: "Download latest version and Recovery" - connect phone to your WLAN and eRecovery will download the Firmware and restore your phone.

One User has reported - it wouldn't delete anything.

After that you wouldn't get again the same OTA.

But for every new OTA you should know that OTA can't update your phone if TWRP is installed.

When the next OTA will come make sure installing original recovery_ramdisk (=EMUI Recovery) before applying the update.

But if you think, everything is okay with your Phone and the restore OTA is just a joke - you can do following:

Open with Mixplorer /system/app/HwOUC and rename inside HwOUC.apk to HwOUC.bak and reboot your phone.

Try following:

With MiXplorer open the directory: /data/hw_init/version/special_cust/EVA-AL10/all/cn/app/AutoNaviFLP/ - rename AutoNaviFLP.apk to AutoNaviFLP.bak

In the same directory ( /data/hw_init/version/special_cust/EVA-AL10/all/cn/app) is the folder: Amap. Delete this folder.

After open Phone Manager and disable Maps for "Manage automatically" - but enable it for "Manager manually" and set it to first option "Auto-launch" (Launch on startup or in background).

If you use it very often, you can set it also to "Keep app running in background" - but this would need a lot of battery

Reboot phone and check, if location service is enabled. Now Maps should store the location history, hopefully (for me it does)
