Installing the Firmware-Update manually:

You can use Method B from here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77650687&postcount=4

This is the method with HuRUpdater → you have to do it with the same steps (as mentioned for Downgrade). The only difference is, you use the b535 zip files (two of them renamed). But this will reset your phone completely and you have to do a Backup before with Huawei Backup from Tools menu folder on Homescreen or with Titanium Backup if your phone is rooted.

Installing with OTA:

I would recommend to do a Backup before with Huawei Backup from Tools menu folder on Homescreen or with Titanium Backup if your phone is rooted. → Do not forget to Unroot (from Magisk Manager) and flash original recovery_ramdisk (Stock EMUI Recovery for b528) before apply the update with OTA.

If you receive a notification for the new Firmware via OTA (on a Network patched system) → you must open Settings/System/Systemupdate and from the 3dot menu above choose: "Download latest full package" (about 2,85 GB) - because if you download only the incrementally OTA (about 346 MB) the Installation will fail.

But with the full package OTA installation the Update will work over the "network patched system".

After the Firmware Update the old Network Patch is gone → and you must flash TWRP and install again the Network Patch files. The old Network Patch Files for b528 are working for b535 too, but they are not quite correct as some files in the b535 are slightly changed and the new files are optimized for b535.

Anyway, once my new patches are uploaded, you just need to flash them over the old ones.

The new ones also work for b528 and b535. I will link my work as soon as finished. I also upload the new patched ramdisk.img (s), as well as the new recovery_ramdisk
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mrleja:
Do you need unistal Magisk?I don't think I should, but I should ask.

edit:Yes, I don't need, just after update, there's no Playstore. app, I installed it with the Aptoide.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Ofc - there is no Playstore App, because the system partition has no more space left (0 MB) - The new Firmware needs more place on the system partition.

I solved it with my new zip files.

FYI:

The zips for b535 are ready released and tested. I have problems to upload right now to Filehost. I will do that tomorrow evening.

And tomorrow I will test a new Oreo NoCheck Recovery for installing manually b535 (additional to the two other methods):https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77958407&postcount=273

My P9 Plus works fine on b535, should I patch the new network patch file - if uploaded -again.

Earlier I patched it with the b528 version, but works fine. Or it is not needed?

Thanks a lot.

I don't take support for broken things if you can't wait until everything is mentioned. :p
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, all those questions will be answered during this evening.

Yes, you should patch with the new files.

Post # 2 has been updated with the latest Network Patchfiles and slightly modified installation instruction.​

If you have already Firmware b535 - but with the old configuration files, just flash the new configuration files over your current system.

Flashable zip for FaceUnlock is also in Post #2: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77650678&postcount=2

Please help. I would like to flash faceunlock.zip.

After doing this, can I still use the fingerprint unlock, too, if I want? Won't I lose the fingerprint option? I know it is a lame a little bit.

Thanks for the answer.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Of course, you will still have PIN/Password, Fingerprint and additionally Face unlock

And if you already enrolled your fingers, they will remain

P9 Plus (VIE) and P9 (EVA) have the same ramdisk.img (and btw also the same b535 ramdisk_recovery....) - so the files can be used for both phones.

Here is the official OP updated Guide for Root - basically the same than the one by [MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION] - hes asked me how to do and he did it before me, because he has more time. Many thanks also for his support. :good:

Semi ot about Magisk

1: avb 2.0 must be checked or unchecked

2: I have a module that with b528 was installed correctly and with b535 not (Samsung media)

Ps: I installed first ramdisk etc and after Magisk not viceversa..it's a big problem ?

Edit: problem 2 solved at third reboot...strange
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] call.ag.90:
Hi,

I can't download the TWRP zip from the link in the main post, could you check it?

Edit

The file is up again, it should have been android filehost's issue
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fil76:
Strange I don't have this problem
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I have checked, it should work, try out:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904008816

or:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904008816

It is solved :)

Fine ;) Thats why I recommend to create the xbin folder :cowboy:

1) AVB is only required, if there is an OTA with the name: Patch01, Patch02 (it is not the case on b535) - BTW: AVB can not be checked in Magisk Manager if Magisk is already installed - it can only be checked in the moment of patching the ramdisk.img.

3) If you install Magisk Manager first and then patched ramdisk.img → Magisk Manager need no additional setup after reboot and opening Manager

If you install Magisk Manager after flashing patched ramdisk.img → Magisk Manager ask you on first start: "Requires Additional Setup.. do you want to preceed now?" - In this case just say (mostly 2x) YES....

So, no problam at all ;)

For all Root-Users:

Added Google Playstore Certification to the Root-Guide :)
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] meshoo00oo:
Steps to uninstall magisk by different way maybe it will help someone else as it helped me :)

Before updating from b528 to b535 I tried to uninstall magisk by pressing uninstall button in magisk manager many times and every time give me an error message "downloading file error" and I couldn't uninstall magisk by this way so I uninstalled it by following the below steps:

- Download the latest magisk uninstaller file from the main magisk xda thread.

- Open magisk manager

- go to modules from list

- press on the add button and select the downloaded file

- it will start uninstalling and the phone will reboot

- it's done "uninstalled" :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
You can also uninstall Magisk by simple and dirty way:

- Flash (in TWRP or Fastboot) stock ramdisk (to replace the patched/Magisk enabled ramdisk)

And reboot
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, that's also written in my Root Guide :D

Just read it and you find all necessary information.

But flashing original ramdisk.img to uninstall has one advantage and one disadvantage

- it's helpful if phone can't boot cause of an incompatible Magisk module.

but:

- it does not delete Magisk files from /data/adb and if you would remove the files with TWRP, Phone can't boot.

But the idea by [MENTION=2107290]meshoo00oo[/MENTION] to use Magisk Uninstaller as Module+ is pretty good :good:
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jvelasco:
Some option to make it work:

EMUI 8 (Oreo), Magisk and Xposed?

I can not make it work Xposed :(
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
It doesn't work for now.

There's only one version of Xposed Framework, which is working on Huawei Devices /Android 8.0 in combination with a modified SuperSU (for Oreo)

But it's even not stable.

So, just wait until things getting settled.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jvelasco:
Thanks for your reply...

And any module inside Magisk Manager (Downloads)?

There are two, but these produce soft brick, I think I do some bad... :(
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] meshoo00oo:
I have a problem with my phone network:rolleyes:

- the mobile data is not stable and almost dead at the most of the time

- VOLTE is not working, the icon is appeared in the settings and energized but when I start to make a call the network change from 4G to 3G or H

- I tried to choose the preferred network type to be only LTE to check if the VOLTE will work like this but sadly the phone couldn't make a call so I changed the preferred network back to auto

- during a phone call, there is no mobile data and it is strange because it was available to me at nougat (before rebranding to Oreo)
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You must go to Settings /Wireless and Networks/ mobile net / and below to: more - there you must enable: mobile data always on and carrier aggregation
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] meshoo00oo:
They already enabled :(
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Did you have this problem also on previous b528 or only on b535?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] meshoo00oo:
The same problem but I thought it was from the network provider until yesterday after I went to the technical support of the network provider to check the sim card , he checked it in another phone and it started to work perfectly , also when I back home, checked it in another phone and also worked perfectly but in my phone the mobile data is unstable , VOLTE not working , no mobile data during phone call and can't receive configuration messages for the mobile data from the network provider
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Okay, which Build Number was your phone before rebranding? I would like to know your previous cust.

You have VIE-L29 and which region/cust did you have before rebranding?

BTW: You flashed the right network patch zip file (which matches your original device before rebranding)?

Additional I like to know your mobile network provider please
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] meshoo00oo:
- My phone was VIE-L29C185B395 before rebranding , region Egypt

- I installed VIE-L29 dual SIM enabled OTA network zip file

Is there any other way to upgrade to B535 without using external card? Could i use the first method flashing using "update_eng"?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You cannot use HWOTA7 (7=Android 7 and it works ONLY on Android 7, so don't touch it on Oreo if you don't want to brick your phone!!! )

- if you're already on Oreo b528 and want to upgrade to b535

- you can wait for the OTA (then you need no SD Card)

- or you buy an SD card and do it manually with the mentioned method.

Or are you on Nougat? To rebrand you need no SD Card and the Update from Nougat to Oreo is possible with HWOTA7.

Flashing the Network Patches requires external SD or USB OTG - because TWRP can not access internal storage.

But manually update from Oreo b528 to b535 is only possible with External SD Card.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Thanks for informing me about.

Soon I have time I will see, if I can do anything in this case. And if I send you zip files to test.

[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
There's no difference, except via manual Update you would need external SD to proceed and for OTA you must wait.

Hi

finally something interesting for the family of P9 plus,

I have a smartaphone P9 plus Chinese version, vie-al10 8.0.0.528 (C00), full of Chinese applications, what advise you to make it had firmware, for the keyboard for the moment I use IQQI; but when I use internet I have a lot of proposals in Chinese,

thank you
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Hi,

What's your intention? Would you like to debload Chinese Apps and install more Google Apps?

It's only possible with unlocked Bootloader and TWRP + Root if you want to stay on Oreo (with original VIE-AL10)

The other possibility is to downgrade with HiSuite to Nougat and rebrand to VIE-L29, then you wouldn't have Chinese stuff, but also no Oreo..
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] biskra07000:
thanx

yes I like to debload Chinese Apps and install more Google Apps

is it possible to do it without the unlock bootloader?

The original Huawei recovery_ramdisk b528 can be found here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904008813

Tell me, if you have some further questions.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You can be sure, I do not forget. I hope just, that its possible to solve this issue ;)
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
From post #5 you can download

HWOTA-VIE-Oreo_b535.zip

Unzip, you will find

eva_vie_recovery_nocheck.img

This is special 'no-check' version of stock Recovery that works both b528 and b535

Instructions for flashing are the same as for any other recovery_ramdisk, like b535 recovery or TWRP - post #2, just rename the img file name when flashing by Fastboot

Since you are on TWRP, you can flash directly from TWRP - copy eva_vie_recovery_nocheck.img

to SD card (or OTG USB stick, not Internal memory since TWRP cannot read), in TWRP choose Install, Install IMG, Select Storage (SD Card or OTG), navigate to the img file and select to Flash to recovery_ramdisk

Go Back from Installation tab in TWRP, choose to Reboot but select Reboot to Recovery - it will reboot to the just flashed stock recovery :)

[MENTION=2107290]meshoo00oo[/MENTION] has also problems with VoLTE.

It's not easy to configure it to work in all situations/regions.

Normally VoLTE isn't available on the rebranded phone, although it is integrated in the firmware...

That's why Open Kirin doesn't include/support it.

I am working to find a solution and will post soon it's ready to test. But it needs probably two weeks.

And on b528 everything worked?

Is anyone else running Nova Google Companion (alongside Nova, of course) and experiencing issues swiping in to view the feed?

On 528 I didn't have any issue, but on 535 it seems to play up quite a bit. Have tried uninstall/reinstalling, restarting Nova, restarting phone, wiping data etc but nothing seems to provide a permanent fix, or even a reliable solution.

Secondly, and this is just me being curious, seeing as we can enable Face Unlock using the separate .zip file, I was wondering if the same could be done with Trusted Places as well, where it bypasses PIN/Pattern when in a trusted area?

I assume this is different from the other TrustedPlaces that was disabled during the upgrade, which looked liked some privacy feature.

delete rom?

Rebrand-Update-Tool-HWOTA7-P9-PLUS-VIE by Tecalote

Hi Tecalote,

think I deleted OREO Rom from the phone

- After Step #26, Gboard could not be enabled.

- I started wipe / Art cash in TWRP

- then I thought of a factory reset as a good idea. :(

- When restarting, the bootloader the warning will get, and will not continue.

- ROM does not start on the phone this time.

- TWRP, charging, fastboot mode okay. PC can see the phone.

What can I do? Any idea
