Currently on b540 patch 02 on my AL00. Unfortunately the "Phone Manager" app blocks push notifications, even if I follow all of the instructions to enable them. I can 'freeze' the app with Titanium Backup, which them allows push notifications to work, but also makes it so that SMS messages won't send from third party SMS apps. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Maybe I can somehow install the Phone Manager app from the international firmware?

New Network Patch for EVA-AL10c00 8.0.0.540 is ready:

With the new Network Patches for b540 (and working only up b540) - you must not set anything to receive Push-Notifications :)

Its released now - but I had no time yet to post everything here in English (I will do that during the weekend). But you have the Guide and the Links here (if you cant open the Spoiler, make an account on Android Hilfe de):

https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p9.2808/update-rebrand-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-inoffizielles-oreo-update.884138-page-35.html#post-11435663

Use Google Translation - or wait, until everything is updated here. :)

Important to know:

- you must have been updated to b540

- it is required to restore the odm partition before flashing the new Patch and FaceUnlock zip

- I made a flashable zip to restore odm partition

- After this reboot TWRP

- and flash new Network Patch and NEW Version of FaceUnlock (do not use the old one, its not working with new Patch!)

- Enjoy

All required files can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290471
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aico60:
What's new with the face unlock patch because I have already installed the old one?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
If you like to use the new Network Patch v2.5

- you must restore odm partition with my flashable zip

- reboot recovery

- flash new network patch

- flash Faceunlock 1.5

The old version of Faceunlock is not compatible with the new Network Patch.

That's why new Network Patch comes together with a new Faceunlock version. (which has some optimization)

I'm rooted on 540 patch02. Can i just flash the EVA-AL10_b540-Partition-ODM-restore.zip, reboot back into TWRP and flash EVA-L09_b540-SingleSIM_NetworkPatch-v2.5.zip or is there more involved?

Will either of these zips wipe my phone? Will work profiles now work on the phone?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Yes, upon ODM reboot to TWRP

Yu can also flash (upon NW, together from TWRP) Face Unlock v1.5

Wipe Cache then from TWRP, and reboot to System

I did just that, all Settings, Apps and Root were preserved

I appreciate all the hard work you guys are putting into this.

How is everyone updating to B540? My latest install is EVA-AL10 8.0.0.535(C00patch02), nothing else available OTA.

Really want to try this new network patch, but cant until i update to B540. Please help.

Thanks you very much! :D
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tenshar:
Thanks for your hard work! I really appreciate your continued support for this project.

I'm using EVA-AL00 C00 on b540 patch 02 (not rebranded, firmware and model are both AL00). The network works out of the box without any patches. However, when I try to install OpenKirin roms, the primary SIM is not recognized. Do you think this patch would fix this? Should I try patching it before flashing OpenKirin, or afterwards? Or should I first rebrand to AL10?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FabioOptimusG:
Can someone help me please??? :( I followed the tutorial to the letter and I was able to install Android 8 stock.I was left with TWRP Recovery.I tried to install Resurrection Remix 6.0 as indicated by the post and never started the system, I only get the legend with orange letters that says "your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted. "The biggest problem is that it only enters the Recovery stock, I can enter fastboot mode to install TWRP for Android 8 but it does not install, it keeps starting in stock recovery :( I already tried several different methods Threads but with none I can relive my phone If someone can give me a hand I'll thank you very much! Excuse me for my English, I'm using the google translator.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tenshar:
Hold power and volume up while it's plugged in and keep holding until you've entered Huawei eRecovery.

From there you can choose Download latest version and recovery to reinstall the stock ROM.

When this is done, choose the option to factory reset. The phone will reboot when it's finished.

eRecovery is on a separate partition from the regular recovery (You enter the regular recovery with the same button combination but without plugging in your phone). The regular recovery is the one that only gives you the options to factory reset or wipe cache. This is what gets replaced by TWRP when you flash TWRP. So, as long as you never flash anything over the eRecovery partition, then you'll always be able to go back to stock through that.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You cannot rebrand from Chinese model to the same. That makes no sense.

And it makes no sense to downgrade to Nougat and rebrand to European model - because then you can use only Android 7. (it's possible but only for using Nougat)

The Patches are only for European models which are rebranded to EVA-AL10 and does not work on original EVA-AL10!!

You could brick your device by doing so.

The issue is a bug by Open Kirin and only this Team can solve it (if they want) ;)

You can try to restore your phone as mentioned by [MENTION=2013769]Tenshar[/MENTION] some posts before mine. But probably it doesn't help in your case.

The right method to install AOSP is:

1) Oreo with Network Patch (if using rebranded European model to EVA-AL10)

2) Installing any Open Kirin Rom with their Guide:

https://openkirin.net/user_guide/openkirin-rom-installation-instructions/

= original EMUI Recovery required and flashing Rom in Fastboot mode (and not with TWRP!) and booting after to Stock Recovery and doing Factoryreset.

3) Resurrection Mix 6 cannot be used if your phone is on Oreo /EMUI 8 - because this Rom is for EMUI 5 /Android Nougat.

The Rom itself is based on Oreo sources but can only be flashed on Nougat, but NOT on Oreo:

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rom-t3767344

4) If you don't read instructions or looking for exactly Infos before flashing anything to your device and face problems after wrong installing AOSP - you are in the wrong Thread right now - because we do support here for Users of EMUI Oreo Firmware and help for rebranding and updating from Nougat to Oreo.

5) It seems you have bricked your device. Only chance is probably using DC Phoenix.

TWRP fails flash with FAILED (remote: partition length get error) which I've read is because the TWRP is for N but I used P9-EVA-8.0.0-TWRP-v4.img.

What can I do?

(This happens at start of update_eng.bat and also if I do it manually).

I'm trying to fix Oreo 540 with no service error etc, my phone updated to 540 a few days ago and I have since flashed OMNIROM to it (thinking it may fix the SIM error), then used stock recovery to get it back to 540, I don't know if that may have done something bad?

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Better upgrade to b540 to be able to use the newest NW patch v2.5 (and optionally, Face Unlock v1.5) - read the posts from last couple of days (you will find the links for manually uploading to b540, etc)

Update notes:
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Notifications, Locked screen and Deep sleep

With the new European NW v2.5 patch from [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], there is no more Launch option in Phone Manager.

Instead, inside the Phone Manager click to*Battery icon down-left to open Settings / Battery to find the Launch management

Now, under Launch, there is no more need to force Manual management - you can leave all apps on Automatically.

Moreover, if you don't need some apps to be started on boot and running in background because of consuming battery, open Manual management and disable for those apps Auto and Secundary start and/or Run in background options

For Magisk Manager, Google Play Services, AdAway, Find my phone, Kernel Adiutor, BlueMail, Telegram and similar apps, leave them on Automatically - their services will be properly started on boot and will keep running in the background/doze to do their on boot and/or periodic tasks, and to receive push notifications (on lockec screen and background during deep sleep)

E.g., if you use Eco Kernels by [MENTION=4900664]dkionline[/MENTION]

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/kernel-ecokernel-starter-v0-1-t3857029

Kernel Adiutor will be properly started on each and every boot, applying your On boot requested tasks for Eco Kernel (I force Blu_Actiive governors for Little and Big CPU clusters, to save battery)

For Telegram, make sure to have in its own settings both Keep alive services, Background connection enabled (as per default).

Also, go to Settings / Apps and notifications / Apps / Telegram / Notification management and make sure to have both Allow notifications, Lock screen: Display enabled.

This is enough to receive pop-up Telegram messages on the locked screen and even during deep sleep

For Google Play Services leave (by default) Allow to Ignore battery optimizations - under Settings / Apps &* notifications / Apps / settings gear / Special access / Ignore battery optimizations.

Of the other apps, only for Bluemail I had to give it (non default) Allow to Ignore battery optimizations - without, I would no more receive pop-up notifications for incoming mails after like half an hour of locked screen and idle

AL10 is not my daily driver, hence didn't test WhatsApp and some other apps.

You have to see for your own social media, mail and messaging apps, if they have (like Telegeam) their own settings to enable them receiving notifications and popping up messages during the locked screen and deep sleep.

Generally, it is enough put them on Automatical Launch management.

Only some apps, like BlueMail, may additionally need to be Allowed to Ignore battery optimizations (if you find them stopped working during the deep sleep)

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
If your Settings /System /About phone did show you b540 patch02 → and you installed after the New NetworkPatch-v2.5 → system will show again b540.

That means something of the new Patch disables components of the patch02 → thats why you would see Patch02 in Systemupdate (if enabled) again as install able - as [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] mentioned.

But be careful at one point - if you want to Root the phone, you must use the patched ramdisk.img for Patch02.

Because if you had patch02 before the new NetworkPatch-v2.5, the kernel of your system is probably the same as with patch02 - even if it does not appear in the build number. If you would use the patched ramdisk.img, which is for b540 without patch02, your phone would probably not boot up.

The patched ramdisk.img(s) for Magisk can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290474

OTA is disabled with the new Network Patch. You can enable with the zip file from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290481 → but in this case, you must flash immidiatly after in Fastboot Mode the original Huawei recovery_ramdisk (= EMUI Recovery instead of TWRP), which can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290478

This folder contains also the original ramdisk.img (without Magisk) which is helpful, if your phone dont boot and the two kernel.img(s) (for b540 and b540 Patch02)

OTA needs not only the original recovery_ramdisk, it requires also Unroot → thats why I would recommend for Users, which using Root, to let OTA disabled.

Everything you need for b540 is in this folder and subfolders: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290471

For the new NetworkPatch it is required to flash before the odm-restore zip

The next Patch v2.6 which is already in developement, will include the whole odm, so that you must not flash another zip before the Network Patch :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daveh077:
Is there a changelog of what gets updated in each Network Patch? Great work by the way!!
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Repeating from my previous posts (screenshots: were there)

- Started from b540 Patch02 (with Magisk v18.1 Encryption + AVB)

- Applied NW patch v2.5 ((and Face Unlock v1.5)

- About shows only Version: v540

(I don't recall how it was on clean b540 Patchh02, was there any info here whether OTA Patch02 was applied or not)

- System Update (HwOUC.apk must be enabled) shows two lines

Version: b540

Patch: Patch02

And it indicates: No updates

Hence Patch02 is not OTA installable again

And of course, everything working fine, including root with Magisk v18.1 Encryption + AVB (preserved through the NW and Face patches)

For your information, I can see 152 pages of 152 on my end, so that's weird. But anyway, there are 152 pages for real and everything should be ok after a few days in my opinion, there's nothing we can do for now about this little gltich besides waiting a few more pages or maybe try to do CTRL + F5 on your browser? :)

Seems that something (else) was wrongly flashed.

What exactly did you have - what was your last working configuration, and what exactly were you doing after that, step by step?

If everything was ok and you just flashed stock Recovery, and it stopped booting, then you could go back to (suppisidely) TWRP for Oreo
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
The only problem is that you follow the steps from post one - this Post #2 isn't updated yet!!

You are probably on b535 if you used the download Links from Post #2.

The Stock or EMUI (it doesn't no matter how to call it) recovery_ramdisk (which is the original Huawei Recovery on Oreo) must match the firmware.

That's why, if you are on b535, you must use the EMUI recovery_ramdisk one for b535..

And the network Patch is also only working for b540.

That's why your phone can't boot.

The Best thing for now is to restore your Phone with eRecovery and then let us know.

You can do it by following steps:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77900477&postcount=831

If eRecovery restore in your case b535 instead of b540, you must update to b540 (not with HWOTA7) but with this:
