b539 is not yet pushed by OTA

You can check posts #1130, #1131 - what is needed to patch if manually upgrading to b539

Once b539 comes by OTA, patching b539 will become easier - but generally, you will always have to patch something for the new firmware

Does it work in combination with Magisk or to you use SuperSU?

Ofc safetynet will not be bypass, but I am interested if Magisk Root is working with this Xposed...

Is this Xposed Version from rovo89 or is it by topjohnwu?

Can you post a download Link to the version you use please

Long time to boot first time is normal ;)

Edit: [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] gave me already the download link.

Its developed by Ibuprofen.

Have seen other development by him, but didn't know about Xposed...

Ok listen...

I've bought a 3 pairs of Pamu Scroll BT 5 on Indiegogo.

In short they make a bad noise in some high frequencies only on Android. I tested them on my P9, P8 lite, OP5T, iPhone XS, iPhone 8 and others... On iOS is all OK.

Before you ask me, it's hard to say that my pair is defective. In fact many other people have this problem and it's ridiculous to say that on 3 pairs, all of them are defective. I guess there's a compatibility problem in every Pamu Scroll BT 5.

The problem is not the volume too much higher.

I've tried to change the audio codec but it's pretty buggy on Android.

And no, don't tell me to use an equalizer because it wouldn't fix the problem and I'd like to keep a natural sound (understand me).

Do you have any idea?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Did you try in Developer Options to change Bluetooth A2DP Audio Codec to aptX HD ?

When I connect them, it sets on SBC by default but if I try to change codec it wouldn't apply the changes.

BT codec in developer options returns to default

Yes, I tested and you are right - this seems to be a general Bug or intention by Huawei (?) on current Oreo Firmwares. If you enable another BT codec in developer options it always returns back to default. Same on EVA-AL10 and VIE-AL10.

Same for DPI on Mate 9 Oreo.... (so it is not just a fault on P9/P9Plus)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrzejDwo:
Sometimes it helps when you make some changes in build.prop. Enable persist aptx or just change the order of codecs that first one is the one you want to use. Samsung has the same problem, so I think it's OREO bug.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Party5999:

Thanks, Xposed installs but it breaks Safety Net.

However, it is enough to disable XPosed framework through Xppsed Installer app, and to reboot and Safety Net becomes green again - this is good for testing/experimenting bacause one does not need to flash Xposed uninstaller to get Safety Net passing back.

Interesting and very good even it's in Alpha state is:

OmniROM Pie alpha 3 new released.

I know one person which is very happy with it.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kristiansja:
i have used them. Have always had many prolems with them. Camera just work sometimes. SMS and phones can only be sent, not recieved, networking prolemsb and so on and so on. Many, many prolems in my experience
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Interesting are the different experiences.

My friend (Background Firmware EVA-AL10 8.0.0.535) has no issues. Camera is working, Network is perfect, SMS sending and receiving as everything else is working properly.

- But it might not work, if you don't install it over clean original Firmware (+ Network Patch installed) - and if you flash it with TWRP instead of Fastboot Mode (by doing Factoryreset before first Reboot)

- if you come from another AOSP and you don't go back to Stock Firmware and flash it directly over another AOSP - in this cases you will have a lot of issues.

It's mentioned also by Open Kirin Team in Telegram Channel.

Hi guys! I have installed the latest OTA B540, using the same procedure and Network Patch as usual.

First I have tried to dirty flash but again problems with Magisk appears, Magisk hide was broken and I couldn't check SafetyNet - service unavailable.

So I have flashed the update once again and did the factory reset from emui recovery. Than I've installed TWRP with fastboot and from there: Network Patch, Face unlock, patched B540 ramdisk, reboot to system and install Magisk Manager, Playstore, Gboard, Titanium Backup and complete Magisk configuration. Reboot and install Busybox and Vanced Magisk Repo. Than I have restored all my apps with TiBu and flashed ECO Kernel with fastboot.

Interesting thing is that my device is now certified out of the box, without changing the fingerprint and SafetyNet is green. No further problems with Magisk.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Updated to b540, all ok

https://xdaforums.com/p9/developmen...ta7-p9-eva-t3820849/post78511904#post78511904

I have only applied NW patch (from b535), it also enables VoLTE

Did not patch Face (not really need it) and did not patch Playstore - installed GBoard and Playstore manually

Important:

I first tried without Factory Resetting but could not get Safety Net green (tried all sorts of things, no acail)

After Factory Resetting and flashing (again) patched Ramdisk (for b540), Safety Net became green and Pllaystore shows Device Certified - I did not need to change device fingerprint (indeed, Google sent me mails about my 'new' P9, hence it is really certified as Huawei P9)

Thanks to [MENTION=9185201]AndrzejDwo[/MENTION] (we were trying in parallel) - he got Safety Net green upon Factory Resetting, without Factory Reset it was constanly failing (I even tried with Magisk v17.1, with Preserve AVB, etc)

Old stock Huawei Backup application (coming with Nougat and Oreo b528-b540) saves backup archive to

/Huawei/Backup/backupFiles

New Huawei Backup (if you update the app via AppGallery or Playstore) saves to

/Huawei/Backup/HUAWEI P9__***/backupFiles

If you do backup by one and try to restore by another, it won't find the backup archive - you just need to copy/move the archive from one subfolder to another :)

PS: With this new Huawei Backup v9.0.2.333 is possible to restore eg only WiFi data - see screenshots

Issue: This new Hiawei Backup does not list Chrome under the Apps, hence cannot backup/restore Chrome app and its data (bookmarks, etc)

Did you apply network patch, did you root, are they ok?

You can try by manually updating Playstore, find the APK at

Before, open Settings / Apps / Show System Processes, find Google Playstore and Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, open Storage and Clear Data/Cache

Were you able to add Google account in Settings/Accounts or it similarly hangs out there?

Once I had such/similar issue (could not add Google account in Settings, could not open Playstorre) but it happened when I was trying to restore things upon coming back to stock Oreo from Open Kirin.

It was solved by rebooting to eRecovery and taking Reinstall latest (b535), followed by Factory Reeet and Wiping Cache.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lozza69er:
I can't add a Google account either, what should I try?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
As suggested in the previous post, use eRecovery to reinstall b535:

- Prepare to have a good WiFi connection for Internet, use it from the System to save its password

- Switch off, connect to the charger, press and keep pressing Vol+.

Boot by Pow button

- It will boot to eRecovery, giving you options (top to down): Reinstalling the latest firmware, Wipe data & Factory reset, Reboot, Shut Down

(Options listed and screenshot attached, just in case it boots to you to eRecovery in Chinese)

- Choose to Reinstall latest: It will automatically connect to the saved WiFi and will start to download and reinstall b535

- Follow by Wipe data and Factory reset

- You may reboot then to EMUI Recovery to Wipe Cache, but IMO it is not necessary, reainstallation from the previous step should have wiped the cache already.

(Boot to EMUI Recovery like instructed for booting to eRecovery, but now with phone NOT connected to the charger)

Reboot to System, choose language, skip WiFi, Fingerprint, Google account.

If Mobile connection will work, you won't need to apply Network patch again.

But you will have to re-aplly other patches as in OP posts.

As part of that install Playstore patch, install GBoard apk (configure it and reboot to get it working), attach to WiFi, define Google account.

If all done correctly, Playstore should be working.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You can also try to make a Reset from Settings/System/Reset - Reset with Wipe of internal storage

(installed EMUI Recovery required /not possible with TWRP)

Don't update MiXplorer to v6 31.4

In MiXplorer, Settings / More Settings you can enable Updates - it will opt to update MiXplorer to the recently released v6.31.4

But MiXplorer v6.31.4 does not integrate correctly with the stock Gallery app. If you open /DCIM/Camera or /Pictures/Screenshots by MiXplorer, click on a picture and choose Gallery viewer to open it:

- Delete and Share icons will be disabled

- Sliding left/right through the pictures in folder will not work

You can try (to confirm) - if you update MiXplorer, you can easily fix/downgrade:

- Uninstall MiXplorer, reboot

- Install good, old MiXplorer v6.30.21 (it was somewhere in the OP instructions but can't find in there now) from

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

I observed described problem only upon updating MiXplorer, tried 'everything' to fix, but no avail.

I updated MiXplorer also on another P9 with Nougat (Magic Rainbow v4) and observed the same problem there.

Upon downgrading to MiXplorer v6.30.21 (both on Oreo and Nougat) things work fine again.

Update to b539

Can i wait and receive the update via ota or i should do it manually? Frimware finder got an update and can update via erecovery now can this help
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
b539 and b540 are not approved yet, hence no OTA yet for them

For the same reason eRecovery still pushes b535

If you don't want manually, you can wait (ETA unknown)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Btw, you could try updating through eRecovery, via FirmwareFinder, by changing DNS server address method on WiFi router (must have the latest FF version, this option was introduced by a recent FF update).

As Firmware Finder claims, this method should work for unapproved firmwares.

For AL10c00 there is only b539 OTA-MF (366 MB) available.

Probably such Differebtial update from b535 to b539 will suffice (there was not much difference between b535 and b539)

Need to have Admin access to your WiFi router, to temporarily change the DNS server address.

Follow the procedure FF will guide you - see screenshots.

Upon rebooting to eRecovery, when you select Download and install latest, eRecovery should show which firmware version it wants to download - if it is not the wanted one, downloading in eRecovery can be cancelled.

Hence, it should not be risky...

If eRecovery indeed starts downloading the proper firmware version, the rest (patching, rooting, etc) will go as for the manual update case

It will be interesting if somebody tries and describes how it works :)

Edit: I successfully tried the part with FF and the changed DNS server address on my WiFi router.

However, when I rebooted to eRecovery it reported that Update had failed - I think it was because I'm already on b540 and differential 'update' to b539 makes no sense
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Courage2000:
1. I also had problems with the Play Store not working and I used eRecovery to Download the official recovery.

2. My Network does not work for the moment, so I presume I must apply the network patch (OTA Enabled).

3. Question: Do I also need to apply these:

- VIE-EVA-AL10-Playstore+HwApps-v1.2.zip

- VIE-EVA-FaceUnlock-Oreo.zip

- VIE-EVA_b535-RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img (I want OTA)

Faceunlock is optional, the other zip files are required.

And ofc, if you enable OTA you must flash recovery_ramdisk (but it's only for b535)
