Would it be possible to update from b528 to b532/b533, or maybe MR v5 will be based on - Changelog:

[Network]

Optimizes Internet speed for certain networks.

[Charging]

Intelligently adjusts the charging voltage to balance the phone temperature and charging speed.

[System]

Improves system stability.

Two tips:

1) To get rid of OTA Update badge for Patch01 (as attached)

- Airplane on

- Enable System Update (system/app/HWOUC)

- Reboot

- For me, it removed badge (otherwise I wanted to do: Settings / Apps / System processes / System Update: Clear Data/Cache)

- Disable System Update

- Airplane off

- Reboot

2) To get rid of Pinyin stuff on the bottom-left of Lock Screen

- Change Theme to e.g. TC Flux (need to login to Huawei account)

b532-b533

Thanks for the tips!

I have already downloaded b532 and I will test this Firmware.

Especially if root is still possible.

Then it's clear if Patch01 has the side effect of preventing root or if it's intentional

Tonight I will download also b533

Hi.

The code gives an error.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

I checked everything you wrote but the problem remains.

Could my systemwide adb on win10 maybe be the problem?

Can I do the steps manually?

Edit: i also have ubuntu on my pc. And i wanted to try to run te script from there but then i got this error :D

It's made for working with windows.

If you have adb systemwide installed, just uninstall this App from Control Panel.

The Tool has everything what's needed. This should work.

Hi [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]. I'm having problems with eRecovery. Starts saying "Get info package" and after a bit throws me Error getting info package or something like this. I'm using LineageOS. There another way to go back to EMUI?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Did you replace TWRP by EMUI Recovery and did you also flash back System partitipn before eRecoverying

Alternatively, post #3 describes HuRUpdate method
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
[MENTION=5666683]csmarino90[/MENTION]

HuRUpdater is working pretty good on Oreo - you need just Oreo b528 FullOTA-MF (instead of Nougat Firmware) and TWRP installed - in the advanced tab of Wipe you have the option to format data - format data with TWRP, (format - not wipe) reboot TWRP and flash HuRUpdater (described in Post #3)

HuRUpdater must be together with the 3 Firmware zip files in "Update" folder (two of the zip files renamed)

HuRUpdater flashes automatically the Full Firmware.

After this step reboot Recovery and do Factoryreset in Stock Recovery (Stock Recovery is automatically flashed with HuRUpdater, because it's in the update.zip)

With this method you don't need to flash system.img or any other imgs.

Just do it with TWRP and HuRUpdater - if eRecovery want work

Rebrand to EVA-AL10C00B399sp17a is required before updating to EVA-AL10 Oreo. If you skip the step between, mobile network will not work on Oreo.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] csmarino90:
I did it and worked perfect. Thanks!

But after HuRUpdater I want to check the eRecovery and still fails. I'm wondering that it may be related with my SD card. Sounds crazy but the factory reset with SD card fails and without it pass. I'm still researching...

Now I'm in LineageOS and with SD inserted the factory reset fails. I read somewhere that another person have the same "problem".

Only to report: Magisk, root and TWRP (without data decryption) works good along AOSP based ROMs. I could install GApps too!

I'm really determined to do the process to update my European p9 to oreo ... But I have some doubts?

1) After updating, in the system info -> model number remains EVA-AL10 instead of EVA-L09?

2) When I receive an update, I have to have the recovery stock installed, but once the update is finished and the phone is restarted I have to enable root permissions every time?

3) If I do the whole procedure correctly, everything works? (being an update file that comes from huawei and not a custom rom)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
1) Yes, although if you follow later posts (search for Yellow Pages) you will find directions how to redefine model to Lx9 in the props files

2,3) Uncheck automated System Updates because if you accept OTA Patch 01, you will no more be able to root (you will have to go back to b528 without Patch if you want root) - read the posts from last week - this is current status with Patch 01 and nobody knows what the future OTAs may bring.

All else works fine and battery consumption seems to be better than with Nougat

i have installed latest version of magisk manager.

unfortunately I have lost root and there is no direct install option on magisk manager .

I have uninstalled the magisk and reinstalled old one but no luck bringing back root and magisk.I also flashed patched ramdisk again but no success again.

what should I do now?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I can upload patched ramdisk.img for Magisk v17.

Or you can do it for yourself.

You need the Stock ramdisk.img (from update.app b528)

Place it on internal storage in the folder: MagiskManager.

Open Magisk Manager and click: install

Choose: boot.img patch

Navigate to the Stock ramdisk.img in MagiskManager folder and Magisk patches the ramdisk.img with v17. No need to restart now.

You have then in the same folder: patched_boot.img (=the new patched ramdisk.img)

Flash it with Fastboot Mode.

Hi, I have a p9 plus c432 with b387 with bootloader locked (but one year I used DC unlocker for Debrand and saved keys)

I would like to install open Kirin cause I read somewhere that if I Debrand to al10c00 my IMEI would not be recognised anymore

So if I understand correctly

1) unlock bootloader

2) Debrand to al10c00

3) install Oreo update

4) install open kirin ?

Correct ?

Can i have stock recovery after update to the chinese oreo so i can recive ota updates and i dnt need root
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Everything is possible.

But at first you need root to do the required changes.

At the moment you rebranded your phone to AL10 and updated to Oreo - you will have a lot of Chinese stuff - what you don't need.

And you have no mobile network - that's why steps (described in OP) are required to make your phone properly working.

This steps can not be done without Root.

After that you can remove Root and receive OTAs.

Wait, before you start now - because the whole Thread will get an Update during the next week.

Then it's more clear also for User's which decide to stay on Oreo without Root.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
In the meantime you did it with HuRUpdater, right?

Note for eRecovery:

eRecovery is working, if you do it the right way.

We have tested eRecovery in different situations, also for going back from AOSP to Stock.

For eRecovery it is not required to flash system.img and it works as well if you have TWRP installed instead of Stock Recovery.

But flashing back Stock Recovery before using eRecovery is recommended (but not required)

eRecovery is a cool option in Chinese Firmwares.

- Install latest Magisk Manager v5.9.1 (Download Button in official Magisk Thread): https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

- Open Magisk Manager and reinstall or enable modules, reboot phone

- Open Magisk Manager and check safetynet

Note: There is no need to install again Magisk 17.1 with direct install over 17.1 patched ramdisk.img

→ If you use Busybox for Android NDK by osmosis, make sure, you have created in /system/ the folder "xbin" (/system/xbin) with an empty text file in this folder (ph.txt) - if not, create this folder and reboot your Phone, before you flash with Magisk Manager/Downloads the Busybox.

If you do not have xbin folder in system, Busybox uses /system/bin → this can make issues with safetynet.

Root is currently necessary, but not anymore in a few days.

Because I made a Base flash zip, which you can just flash and everything is fine and as it should be.

I made it for Single SIM and for Dual-SIM.

That means, soon you are on Oreo - you just flash this Rom and don't have to modify anything..

It can also be used to go straight after on AOSP Rom, or come back from it and it can also be used as daily driver with and without Root.

I'm sorry, although this thread is not for my device (my device is Huawei Nova 2s), but could you help me?

Thank you very much.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
We

In case of Huawei P9 (AL10), it was not possible to install Magisk if updated to OTA Patch 01.

Three of us who accepted OTA update Patch 01, we had to use eRecovery (switch off, connect to charger, boot by Vol+ & Pow) to reinstall and reset to b528 as before Patch 01.

With Patch 01 and Magisk it was only bootloop.

To get rid of bootloop you can flash non-rooted ramdisk as before Patch 01, then it boots but without Magisk/root.

By scrolling back in this thread you will find instructions by [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] (search for OTA, Patch 01 or bootloop) - I don't know but probably you have the similar problem with OTA Patch 01 on your Huawei device.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Hi, yes, the problem is on all Huawei Phones, which got Patch01 (on Mate 10 reported too)

All you can do is downgrade to the Firmware, which does not include this Patch (or upgrade to a reported Firmware, that does not include it)

For this you can use HuRUpdater (xda)

You need just the FullOTA-MF Firmware, which matches your device and cust.

And you need a working TWRP for your device, which can access data.

If TWRP can't access data, you must format data (not wipe data) confirming by typing "yes" and reboot TWRP - before you can flash HuRUpdater.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] heindrix:
Hi there,

Thanks for the tips, i've already done it before i read it, lol.

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You can not update your phone from Nougat to Oreo with this Base Rom zip.

First you must rebrand and update to Oreo. Even the steps to Oreo get an update (much more easier)

On Oreo you have first no mobile network and a lot of Chinese stuff and no Playstore and in case of L09 no NFC - but then you flash the Base Rom (which comes in two editions, one for L09 and one for L19 and a Patch zip for L29) - and you have everything you need...

Push Notifications and Notifications on Lockscreen

→ some small updates and additional information are added to Post #2 right now...

New Topic: Push Notifications and Notifications on Lockscreen on Stock Firmware:

[MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] reported following:

"There are problems with notifications (on locked screen). Running Blue Mail on both L09 Nougat (MR v4) and L19=AL10 Oreo (b528)

L09 pings me, AL10 not. Even when I unlock and open Blue Mail, it takes time. I've tried Launch combinations, no full proof solution

People also complained on XDA, P9, Oreo Experience"

→ Chinese firmware has different default settings than European firmware. For the notifications to work, two changes are required:

1) Open Settings /Battery - click on settings symbol above on the right - you will see:

"Keep WLAN on when sleeping" = While charging → Leave this as it is set by default

2) Open Settings /Wireless & networks /Mobile network - ADVANCED - you will see:

"Mobile data always on" = disabled → change this to: enabled

3) If you change a Theme → keep always Magazine Unlock. Only this enables notifications on Lockscreen

4) Open Settings /Apps & notifications /Notifications & status bar → check out the right settings for you

I hope, it helps...
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbesoli:
I have a short question about NFC. Despite it's working after the rebrand and updated to Oreo my doubt is, Can I still use it with Google Pay or any other card payment method installed?

This is my main reason to not root the device. I use the phone to pay in a long list of commerces and I don't want to loose it.

So, if I decide to make the A decision to remain in a official rom and not root, etc. With the bootloader locked, will be the phone still able to be used for electronic payments?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You mean: With Bootloader unlocked..

Yes, unlocked Bootloader does not prevent you from using Payment Services or receiving OTA Updates.

GPay is not tested yet. So maybe you wait until we have Feedback from User's which are using GPay.

I only know, that if Magisk 17.1 is correctly installed (special method - I will post later) safetynet is complete green with Playstore certified and without additional modules needed, except Busybox module (virtually enabled to /system/xbin)

There's no guarantees that it will work on Stock without Root, since the phone is updated unofficial to official Oreo for rebranded AL10...

Perhaps it's working better with Magisk?

I will also make a Custom Rom, which have GPay included.

Based on b533. Let's see and just wait until we know more about this stuff ;)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbesoli:
thanks by the answer. Well, as the rebrand can be undone as is explained on POST 3 I will try to have some time to test it this evening and will go back to Nougat and L09 if not. And after my tests will tell here.

[MENTION=342769]dbesoli[/MENTION]

Edit/note:

One thing you should know - soon if you made the Factory reset with EMUI Recovery (after flashing A) - you will receive OTA Patch01 - this make the system like "read only" Ofc - you can install apps and everything, but you can not Root (but TWRP can be installed too).

Patch01 comes at the moment on different phones and we guess, Huawei wants to prevent root - but we are not sure yet, it is perhaps only a side effect.

I just mention, because if you face any problems to go back → it is possible to restore b528 without this Patch with eRecovery method (Download latest version and recovery). https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77461032&postcount=504

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Relocking the bootloader triggers Factory reset - which should remove all the changes made. In case (b) you even risk a brick.

Why do you prefer Bootloader locking?

If you want to be open for future OTA upgrades, choose (a) and be aware that unlocked bootloader does not prevent OTA - this has been repeated through many threads and there are tons of users (me too, many times with Nougat and one time here with Oreo, OTA Patch 01) who had unlocked bootloaders and were still able to receive and install OTA - only root or custom ROMs prevent OTA or may cause bricking.

Locked bootloader does not affect GPay, etc, hence the inconvenience is (only) in the boot screen showing an 'untrusted' phone.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
As [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] said - if you lock the Bootloader (which triggers a lowlevel wipe Factory reset) you loose every setting for mobile network, NFC, etc....

Thanks for the tip - I'm still using your 'old/original' rebranding method for b528 but applied this tip for notifications on the locked screen and it works :)

It will probably consume more battery while idle (forcing connections to keep alive), closer to Nougat - but we'll see.

Themes screenhot - when you allow to keep Magazine Unlock, it seesms it will force dynamic Magazine Unlock photos for the locked screen (showing date in Chinese).

You can later re-apply your own wallpaper for the locked screen, notifications will still work.

Notifications Settings screenshot - I tried also by switching on Pulse Notification light but LED does not flash

PS: In deep sleep (leave P9 to rest for 15-30 minutes), notifications (e.g. Blue Mail) come but after several minutes
