[MENTION=5575519]XxSTOMPERxX[/MENTION] Flashing the Network Patch doesn't make Bootloop.

Restoring the phone with eRecovery should work and does not make Bootloop.

Something you did wrong. Perhaps you flashed a wrong Network Patch which does not match your original Device. I don't know. Or you used one of the old patches (for b528) and not the new ones from OP Post #2 which are made for b535 (and working on b539)

I am available in about three hours for further support.

Just let everything as it is before you produce a brick and make sure you have the phone on charger.

You can restore your phone currently with following method:

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

After that you must flash Network Patch again from Post #2 and not your old ones from b528.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] XxSTOMPERxX:
brother, i got to where i am currentlywhen i did eRecovery(just like you described in that link you provided), because i think it download B398 firmware just like it is doing now(i can go to eRecovery and when i download, it downloads B398). i am not tinkering anymore with my device now before i loose access to twrp and fastboot, please provide me with a solution i can use to boot my phone and i shall always be in dept of you.

thanks
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Sorry for the late reply, but I was busy. So, just let eRecovery restore that Firmware.

It seems as a Downgrade to Nougat. That's okay. Probably you are then back on EVA-AL10 Android 7.

From there you have two options:

1) You can go as described in Post #2 back to Oreo 2) - or you can use HWOTA7 (which is made and working only on Android 7) to rebrand back to your original cust. But for that you must download the Firmware (3 zip Files, two of them rename) which match the location you rebrand back.

How to find the right Firmware is described in Post #1.

Import of this Thread are Post #1 until Post #5 - you find there any information.

And you should have read before you doing things you don't understand.

What was your original Phone (which model, cust, version - Build Number before you started to do the procedure for Oreo)?

Edit: Tell me after restoring your phone with eRecovery the Build Number from Settings /About phone.

It's 1:30 here in my region and I had a long working day. I am back in the afternoon.

You can write me with PM, I will answer and give you further information when I am back.

I did manage to recover and boot into EMUI 5. then following your guide successfully upgraded to EMUI 8. everything worked as intended until i flashed the JIO network fix you provided. the phone started bootlooping again after that. :confused:
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] XxSTOMPERxX:
[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] ok, so i did an eRecovery reset from my phone and now i can boot to EMUI build number EVA-AL10C00B398 but now i CANNOT boot into FASTBOOT mode. also, the phone is unusable due to lack of network files and my inability to install them due to absence of fastboot mode and TWRP. I tried booting to fastboot through ADB and the key combination and both of them don't work.

EDIT- Have now successfully booted to EMUI 8 again but did not flash any Network patches yet as it bricks when i flash the JIO fix. What should i try and do next to make it to work ?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
So it seams that JIO patch for b528/b535 is incompatible with b539, causing your bootloops

Btw, don't try to install patches for AL10c00 Oreo to AL1c00b398 Nougat. Also, I hope you didn't try to install TWRP for Oreo to Nougat b398

What happens when you try to boot to Fastboot (Pow Off, connect phone to PC, press and keep pressing Vol-, boot by Pow)?

Does it boot to System, eRecovery, TWRP...?

What do you mean by TWRP 3.2.1-0 - where from is that?

Installing and using improper TWRP that is not ported and adapted for Huawei's partitions and encryption bricks the phone.

Partition organization and encryptions are different between MM, N and O, for each you must use an 'approved' corresponding TWRP.

AFAIK, last proper TWRP for P9 Nougat was twrp-3.1.1-1-eva_extended, you can find at

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magicrainbow-v4-t3759292

or a little bit older (not 'extended' version) twrp-3.1.1-1-eva ersion from

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703

You can also find proper TWRP for Nougat inside the HWOTA7 package, actually you can use HWOTA7 for installing TWRP to Nougat (but no more if you cannot boot to Fastboot)

If I recall correctly, there were people in other threads who reported all kinds of bricks by downloading TWRP 3.2.1-0 from somewhere (?) and installing/using on P9 Nougat

Maybe you could try to boot into your TWRP and flash from there the proper TWRP 3.1.1-1 as above, and then to continue by HWOTA7 method - but no guarantee that replacing TWRP will enable the lost Fastboot (?)

Maybe at this point of brick you should use some Russian DLOAD packages - search for DLOAD inside this thread (Search field at the top-right on this page), when [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] was helping another user to umbrick

But I'm not familiar with that method, better ask him about first
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] XxSTOMPERxX:
thanks for you answer bro, i have successfully managed to get my phone back running properly again. the only problem left is that i don't have network due to fear of bricking again. one question though, do i flash the jio zip after flashing EVA L09 network fix or as a standalone ?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
On which firmware are you now, b398, b535, b539?

JIO patch was very specific for JIO.Net VoLTE users in India

IMO, NW patch must be installed before JIO, but I don't need JIO, so don't really know about

Do you need JIO, did you previously use its patch and did it really work for your JIO on b528/b535?

Maybe you should better stick then with b528/b535 and its JIO patch there (in one of the previous posts you said that JIO patch caued you bootloop with b539)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
The JIO Network Patch is working only for b528 and not for b535, b539 and it's clear for me now, why you have Bootloop.

I wrote already.

Sorry, there's no Patch for JIO for now and you should downgrade to Nougat and rebrand back to your original Phone.

Hi i after flash Oreo i have unlock bootloader, how can I lock it again?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Answered several times - you must not relock Bootloader.

Those who are irritated with unlocked Bootloader warning at boot must better stay on the stock Nougat

Locking Bootloader triggers Hard Reset - in this case you will loose eg Network Patch, and what fior is then Oreo without Mobile Network

Also, locked or unlocked Bootloader does not affect OTA upgrades (OTA may lock Bootloader by itself)

(Otherwise, Bootloader can be relocked the same way as unlocked: from Fastboot, with the same Bootloader code, just the command is relock instead of unlock - but see above why not to do it)

Hi! I'm on working B539 now, but I would like to make a clean install. Phone is rooted, has twrp recovery and OTA-DISABLED patch. Can I make a factory reset from system (backup is obvious of course) and just flash the patch again or I should take some extra steps?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Apply the same HWOTA method again, as you did for upgrading from b535 to b539. Then Make Factory Reset before installing patches.

That will make a clean reinstall of b539

PS Difference between OTA enabled and disabled is minimal

MiXPlorer, root:

system/app/HwOUC/HwOUC.apk or HwOUC.bak

(hence, with root, you can easily manually switch between OTA enabled and disabled -change HwOUC extension.and reboot)

Also, you can do backup via stock Backup app or Titanium, but you cannot make Nandroid backup by TWRP (TWRP can backup everything except Data partition).

It is possible fix the GPS issue when upgrade to Oreo? My EVA-L29 always lose GPS during navigation.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Hi :)

It's not for sure. It's first the question why your phone loose GPS on original L29..

Can you tell me the Build Number please? (Settings /About phone - Build Number)

Then I can look if there's a newer Firmware for your original device.

It would be interesting if GPS is fixed if you do an update to the newest Firmware (it's anyway required if you decide to go to Oreo)

Before you would update to Oreo - please Backup your oeminfo (from current system) and load it up for me.

Because HWOTA7 is missing all oeminfo for L29!

It's even important if you decide some day to go back to your original Phone (without oeminfo it wouldn't be possible)

Thx

Hi guys! I have clean installed B539 and clean install Magisk 18.0. I have changed device fingerprint as you suggested and now I have my device certified and safetynet is green. Last time after updating Magisk from manager it was all good only for a while. After few days it all broke down: safetynet, Magisk hide and the certification as well. I have tried many possibilities to make it work but it ended in clean install B539.

I would like to ask if you are having any problems after installing YouTube Vanced, because it's the only module which I didn't restore and it's all good till now. I wanted to install vanced manually by copying the apk and libs to system/app and setting the permissions but there is not enough space on root partition... Any suggestions?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Also on b539 and running Magisk module YouTube_Vanced_-_Magisk_Repo-v13.46.53(b01.26.00) without any problem

Btw, went through b528, b535, b539, through Magisk 17.0, 17.1, 18.0 and through various Vanced YT (Magisk module) updates, never had any problem

I don't have Magisk hidden for anything, you may need to hide for Internet banking apps or so

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkinvader:
Hi. A bit late to the party, but here goes. Was able to rebrand my L19C636 to AL10 Oreo, but just noticed some things that are different from what was stated in the guide.

Weird thing is that when I'm supposed to not have IMEI and network, to my surprise, after doing the steps, I had signal and there was nothing wrong with the IMEI. So I don't see anything wrong with that, just wondering why it was like that.

Second, in Nougat for P9, the "4G" icon on the signal bars only show up when "Mobile data" is turned on. This isn't the case with the Oreo ROM, as both of my sim cards are showing indicators for the signal that they're connected to. One has a "4G" icon and the other, "2G". Is there a way to change this? I've quite used to seeing those only when mobile data is on. My dad has a Nova 2i phone and he says that that doesn't happen to his. It only shows up when he turns on Mobile data, and he's using Oreo as well.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daniel9902:
New update

There will be an installation method with the new update that appears in the search engine? 539 update...
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
1) That is exactly the reason why, upon rebranding L09/L19/L29 to AL10c00, you need NW patch - without, on original L09 mobile and NFC would not work, on original L19/L29 only one SIM would work (that SIM slot, being shared with SD card).

Pretty sure, it is also mentioned in the OP instructions (definitely it was discussed at the beginning of the story, this summer, in early posts - at that time only rebranding L19 to AL10c00 worked and it was missing how/what to patch on origiinal L09 to get Mobile connection working back)

2) If you are not using Mobile Data and you don't want it to stay connected to 4G, you can disable 4G and/or you can choose Preferred connection 3G/2G
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkinvader:
[/COLOR]

Okay, first, I don't think you understood. In the OP's post, he said that initially, we won't have signal and will have issues with the IMEI. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME. That's what I'm saying and that's what I'm wondering about. I read the whole post. I didn't lose signal and didn't have issues with IMEI when following the steps. That's all.

2. That's not what I'm asking about. AS I HAVE SAID, in Nougat, the 4G/3G/2G icons WILL ONLY APPEAR IF MOBILE DATA IS TURNED ON. IF IT'S OFF, IT WILL NOT BE THERE. JUST THE SIGNAL BARS. In the OREO ROM HOWEVER, the 4G/3G/2G icons above the signal bars ARE THERE REGARDLESS IF MOBILE DATA IS TURNED ON OR OFF. I'm asking if this can be fixed or changed.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
For (1) it may depand on what was your P9 original model and xust

For (2), you don't need to yell, I'm just telling you how to 'fix' it manually if 4G irritates you or what.

Maybe you can fix it to work like you expact if you take part and develop a new NW patch :)

Btw, if you already had Mobile working before you applied NW patch - did you test (on the pristine AL10c00, with no patches) how 4G behave, was it also connected when Mobile Data turned off (to know, is this part of stock AL10c00 or due to the NW patch)?

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

I think it was also observed by somebody else, earlier. Similqrly, atter Factory Resetting Al10c00 Oreo, dual SIM (on L19 phone) stays working
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkinvader:
(1) Then that may be the case. I asked not to confuse anyone, but to know if you guys have any idea.

(2). First, that wasn't me yelling. Apologies if that's how it looked like. Just needed to emphasize on the things that I believe matters regarding the issue at hand. Regarding what you suggested, I tried it prior to posting here and didn't work. I've tried turning off all settings regarding WiFi and Mobile data and the icons didn't disappear.

I've read somewhere that it's possible to turn it off by setting the value for "isShowNetworkType" to "0" using the "Settings Database Editor" app in Playstore, but I'm not seeing the said line in the "System Table". Any idea on where we can find that line? Not sure if it's supposed to be in the build.prop or local.prop or any other file.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
For (2), with the rooted Oreo you have access to XML tables. If you know which one, you can open and edit by MiXPlorer.

Btw, this is also behind the NW patch. Before [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] made NW patches to automate, he originally had instructions how to edit XML to get it working on L19.

I remember, I also needed to edit XML to get it working at that time on b528 - and some other changes (various XML files) that is now automated in the patching

Later it found what to edit for L09, and then the automated patches came.

So you may search through this thread for xml, and back in Aug/Sep you will find discussions about. Maybe you find there in which XML file to change it - make sure you make copy of the XML file before editing, if eg phone does not boot, you can go to TWRP and replace the XML file back

If you find it, it will be interesting to know - thanks

PS: But the setting you mentioned "isShowNetworkType" looks more like to enable/disable if the network type is shown or not in the status bar, than to control does it connect to 4G or not (while there is no data transfer)

Ie, by that you will maybe no more see 2G/3F and particularly 4G in the status bar, but phone might still be connected all the time to 4G
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkinvader:
Let me check the XML files and see if it's there.

Hi again! I would like to share something with you. I have copied some useful scripts from my samsung rom into my friends P9 and they seem to work. Scripts are created by foobar66, my samsung ROM developer.

The scripts which you can use as an adblock are in 3 options:

-hl copying etc/hosts.long to etc/hosts

-hm copying etc/hosts.medium to etc/hosts

-hs copying etc/hosts.short to etc/hosts

Long Medium and Short are lists of hosts blocked in your apps and browser, depending on how many hosts you would like to block you just choose the option. I have whitelisted YouTube host in hosts.long that your history in YouTube will work.

Another useful script is 'dss' which is disabling most of tracking and analytics processes in your apps. There are 2 options dss disable and dss enable, so if there would be something wrong you can just enable all processes back. I have removed all samsung stuff from it, you can add huawei processes into it, that would be great.

All the scripts you can edit in mixplorer as text with code or text editor.

The commands you need to copy into system/xbin and give them proper permissions: 755 and group is shell 2000. You need to change xbin folder permissions also (the same).

The hosts files you need to copy into /etc and change folder permissions to 777 and files permissions to 644 the group stays unchanged.

After all of that open terminal emulator and type:

su

dss disable

reboot

Or for example

su

hl

exit

I have noticed that after dss disable script, my friends p9 is much faster and smoother than before. I hope you will find it useful.

Cheers
