[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
We didn't have this issue before.

Did you enable in Developer Options OEM Unlock, ADB Debugging and USB Debugging and did you disable HiSuite HDB in Security Options?

Just boot again to system and check.

Restart PC and restart Phone (after you have checked the options)

Then try again (you need original Huawei USB cable) Make sure, Firmware is in the update folder and two zip files are renamed.

As long the oeminfo is not flashed, nothing has changed to the system.

How is the state of the Bootloader and FRP in Fastboot mode?

Both should be unlocked. If not, HWOTA7 will unlock the Bootloader, but FRP must be unlocked by enabling OEM Unlock before (everything described in OP)
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sebonze:
Everything is enabled I double checked and HDB is disabled and uninstalled from my PC so it cannot interfer.

Rebooted and tryed it mutiple times.

Yes I also restartet my Laptop (win10) 2 times.

Iam using a original Huawei Cable.

Bootloader and FRP show that they are unlocked.

I would do a video to demonstrate it but well I only have my phone that could record >.<

Okay, in this case it's probably a driver issue.

What's happened if you don't use hwota7 and just connect P9 Plus with USB and open Windows Explorer?

Do you have access to the internal storage and external SD? If not HWOTA7 can't work.

What's about if you are in system mode and go to C\HWOTA7\tools\Windows - and open cmd-here.exe as Administrator and type in the Terminal:

adb devices

Is your P9 Plus listed with Serial number?

I have an issue wit stock Weather app on my rebranded P9 Plus Vie-AL10c00b528.

It doesn't show my current living town, as on other weather apps. GPS and location/position access is allowed.

It shows the village 3 km netx to my town. it everywhere works fine, but only in my town not, interesting.

Is it the failure of stock weather app powered by Accuweather, issue with accuweather itself?

Can it be fixed, and if yes how? or Should I live with it, or change to another weather app.

Thank for the replies, if someone could help, or have silimlar issue.

When I use HiSuite or just Win Explorer I can normally access my phone. I also can access it via adb when in Fastboot mode. But I dont have a sd Card in the Phone atm.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Hisuite on PC must be closed (also in Taskbar) - you can set it in Settings of HiSuite (disable auto-connect) and/or close it in the Tasklist.

Disable Anti-virus.

Something does interfere - because HWOTA7 itself has no Bug, because it works for many users without any problem.

Google Account Setup Crashing!

Hai. Don't know if someone is still following the thread. But I successfully rebranded and installed Oreo on my P9-Plus yesterday. Everything seems fine except that I am unable to create a Google account from the Accounts section in settings. Every time I tap on it, the checking info screen shows up only to crash after a second. I tried downloading Play Store from the link provided which is crashing the minute I open it. So, downloaded the latest version which is showing the login screen. Same story there as well. Tried some tricks found on the web but to no avail. I am most certain I did everything as mentioned in the OP's. I even managed to apply root and install magisk as per the instructions. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Try the following:

- Make sure you didn't manually install any Play Services, GApps; only Google Play Store apk must be installed (latest version should be ok)

- Turn Airplane on

- Settings, Apps, enable System apps and Clear Cache and Data (where available) for Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services for AR (if installed)

- By e.g. Mixplorer go to root, /data and delete dalwik-cache folder (wiping Dalwik from TWRP does not work)

- You could reboot to TWRP and Wipe Cache

- Reboot to system, turn Airplane off

Thanks for the swift response, bro. But, the problem still persists. Anyway, my ultimate aim is to try out some custom roms by Openkirin which require treble support. Do you think I am still good to go?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
For OpenKirin ROMs, carefully follow their instructions.

You will need to flash system (from fastboot, if I recall correctly, it was long ago) and Factory reset (data), hence no use of setting any Google account or installing any apps (even Google Play) now, everything will be gone - only the network patch will survive (and Magisk in Ramdisk, but you will need to install Magisk Manager and Magisk modules again in Open Kirin)
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] andram81:
Guys, I installed the Oreo without problem.

I executed also the root procedure via Magisk (and BusyBox module).

I have some problems and I want understood if that are common problems:

- impossibly activate "hide Magisk Manager" with random name (process start but not install the new apk)

- titanium backup don't run ( lock at the startup)

- I can't switch the SELinux state in Permissive (probably kernel not support this mode).

- play store not recognise the apk already buy by me (but if I open play store from web I can reinstall it from browser)

13/07 - if you download updated PlayStore apk (version 20.9.10) the problem is solved.

- YouTube don't take the video chronology

I appreciate any suggestions about this problems

Thanks

Does huawei erecovery lock the bootloader? I ask because I got a new update today with july 2020 security patch, and when the phone rebooted it got stuck on "your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted" "your device is booting now" screen. Nothing more happens..

Hi Guys!

My son uses still my old P9 plus, and a surprise, it received a new update security patch 01.07.2020 :) :D It runs oreo, vie-L09 rebranded to chinese VIE-AL10 android: build: 8.00. (c550) I already gave completly up, that huawei do not support this phone and abandoned this handset. At least in China homeland they still support it apparently. after updating to C550 from C537, I needed to install TWRP and network patch and face unlock again. everything is fine, phone runs smoothly like knife in butter, really. No lags, no problems at all, it was a really premium phone from huawei that time back in 2016. Runs like brand new, my son really a hard user and gamer, so this phone runs most games smoothly. battery backup is average, 1-2 days depending on usage.... still a beast...
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ferde84:
Hi.. Thanks for the message. I myself have the P9 plus as my daily phone with the AL10 rebrand and the Network patch from [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]. After receiving the OTA update from huawei last week the first attempt with the ~600 MB incremental update failed (my bad) and the update routine automatically reverted to pulling the 2,2 GB full patch.

After having succesfully upgraded, the SIM card was not detected anymore, so i thought i just need to reinstall TWRP and the 'EVA-L09_b540-SingleSIM_NetworkPatch-v2.6.zip' with it.

Unluckily after that, the phone try's to enter the network, i got the LTE reception signal for a faint second, then it aborts. Then it will restart on and on. I also cannot enter the status menu in settings and the dialer app also crashes upon opening. When reinstalling the .550 update (without the network patch), the dialer app and status menus will be useable again, but - of course - with no mobile network at all.

I thought, maybe i need a newer/adapted network patch from [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] .. ?

But your message let's me hope again, simply reinstalling the old patch will do (maybe in conjunction with a full erase).

Which version of the network patch did you install ?

And did you do the incremental auto update or the full (2,2 GB) package ?

Regards

Manuel

Hi!

I used the network patch and face unlock files downloaded as in instructions on the very first page (by Tecolate). My play Store is not certified, but I do not care about is, everything works super fine....

After installing network patch and face unlock zip, I even did not have to install google play store or keyboard... it was kept after patching. so no problems at all, it was "too easy"...
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
On P9 (EVA) everything is similar and there is practically the same guide for HWOTA7 (Recovery is the same, NW patch is different), and with the newest b550 it still fully passes SafetyNet:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83331889&postcount=2016

Do you have any Magisk module installed - you could disable all of them and try again.

Btw, make sure that Magisk hide (not Magisk Manager hide) is enabled - by default it is not enabled since Magisk v20.4 and if not enabled there will be no chance to pass SafetyNet

Also, without Magisk (and Magisk hide enabled), it will not pass SafetyNet because there is nothing to hide that Bootloader is unlocked which is a prerequisite to pass.

Also, as long as SafetyNet is failing, you would have problems with Play protect and Device not certified in Playstore

Applies also to [MENTION=8603248]n20661[/MENTION] (Device not certified)

PS: If rooting, you must not use the old ramdisk image from b537 (patched by Magisk, from OP) for b550
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Ooinaru:
No root and no magisk, just stock everything ?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Yeah, but Bootloader is unlocked (you can not and must not try to relock because it would trigger low-level hard reset, causing a brick due to previous rebranding to AL10), and without Magisk there is nothing to hide it. CTS Profile and then SafetyNet are failing and therefore Device is not certified for Google Play. But if you don't have problems with certain apps, you don't need to care

Is your phone rooted by any chance?

Considering updating to to B550 (also from B537), however looking at comments from those who have, [MENTION=11042823]ferde84[/MENTION] appears to be stuck in a bootloop, and [MENTION=670038]Ooinaru[/MENTION] isn't rooted, so I'm a little hesitant.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Before OTA you need to come back to stock/original Ramdisk (your's is patched by Magisk) and Recovery (Recovery_Ramdisk - if you have TWRP)

They can be extracted by Huawei UpdateExtractor from b537 update.zip. Look to the OP posts but you can find them also on his androidfilehost site:

https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=131030

For future clean Magisk install, suggesting you to uninstall all Magisk modules from Magisk Manager and reboot

Then you can Uninstall Magisk also from MM, and/or flash stock b537 Ramdisk and Recovery (from TWRP or Fastboot).

Be careful, Recovery_Ramdisk (Huawei's name for Recovery) must be flashed to Recovery_Ramdisk (not to Ramdisk or eRecovery_Ramdisk).

Also, when extracting from update.zip, name is too long and shortened by the last letter to Recover_Ramdis.img

Then you are ready for OTA.

If it fails, go to System Update settings and force Full OTA update.

Btw, if anything goes wrong you can always update then to 550 from eRecovery

For installing Magisk upon OTA to b550, [MENTION=670038]Ooinaru[/MENTION] can give you firsthand instructions.

If you had an old Magisk Manager, update then first to the latest

You could download b550 update.zip from Firmware Finder, unzip and extract Ramdisk.img by Huawei UpdateExtractor and flash it from TWRP or Fasboot, but he can give you his b550 patched Ramdisk.

If he didn't patch Ramdisk but flashed Magisk by TWRP, he can still backup his Ramdisk by TWRP and share it to you, you restore it in TWRP and your b550 will be rooted
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] n20661:
Hi everyone! Please could someone help me? I am looking for stock recovery img of C550 for VIE-AL10. I want to flash the stock recovery C550 via TWRP, the P9 Plus may get another updates in the future... I do not want to flash the C537 stock recovery img I do not want to encounter any errors, failures.

Thank you very much in advance!
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
If you can find b550 update.zip (I can't on Firmware Finder), you could download, unzip and extract stock partitions by Huawei UpdateExtractor

But you can also use Switch-TWRP-to-EMUI-Recovery.zip from [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]'s androidfilehost - link is in my post one above yours

Interestingly, that zip (flash it from TWRP) copies eRecovery to Recovery - but indeed, on Oreo Recovery_Ramdisk.img and eRecovery_Ramdisk.img used to have the same hash (meaning they were identical)

So you can save that zip for future to switch from TWRP to the stock Recovery

Or you can execute from ADB on the PC:

>>adb wait-for-device devices

>>adb shell

>>su

<Check the pop-up on your phone to grant root to ADB Shell>

>>dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk of=/sdcard/RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img

It will dump eRecovery (stock/intact, since you flashed TWRP to Recovery and not to eRecovery, and according to the trick as above, being identical to the stock Recovery) to RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img file on the phone's Internal memory.

Download link of VIE-AL10 8.0.0.550(C00) update

Hello

Can anybody please share the direct download link of VIE-AL10 8.0.0.550(C00) full firmware? I am getting update notification in system but unable to install. Now I want to download the complete package and install via PC. Kindly share the link

Thanks
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Even if you find b550 to download, how do you think to install?

For DLOAD it must be FullOTA-MF-PV, but for the last few years all firmwares on FirmwareFinder are just FullOTA-MF (without PV).

Otherwise you need the so-called Service Restore distribution (official packages for Huawei service shops) - good luck to find for b550 (they leak out rarely and with long delays)

Since TWRP does not support encryption on Data partition, it won't be able to fully flash b550 update parts that need to go to Data, not to System. Hence you couldn't properly update to b550 by TWRP either

Why don't you prepare for the OTA update to b550:

- Unistall Magisk modules and reboot

- Uninstall Magisk (also from Magisk Manager).

Optionally flash stock b537 Ramdisk

- Flash Switch-TWRP-to-EMUI-Recovery.zip from TWRP

With that you revert to stock Recovery and Ramdisk.

Then, if (differential, by default) OTA still fails, open Settings on the System Update and force Full OTA update

As a last resort you can do eRecovery:

- Plug in the USB charger

- (Re)boot by keeping the Power+ pressed on

(same like when booting to Recovery/TWRP but here with the charger plugged in!)

- Choose Install latest firmware and recovery

- Usually it is better to do Factory reset upon eRecovery

Btw, if full OTA really fails (you must first try as above) and before eRecovery, you can also try updating from HiSuite.

You would need new HiSuite on PC and on the phone (required to connect to PC) and then there is an option in HiSuite on the PC side to update the firmware
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] myaseenashraf1@gmail.com:
I am already on stock recovery. I got update notification from system settings and got an update of about 634MBs. It downloaded successfully and rebooted to stock recovery but it didn't proceed above from 5% and the phone got restarted. It again started itself to update but again restarted at 5%. This happened again and again until I forcibly restarted it into current system.

No I have lost that downloaded 634MBs because I don't have access to the root directory. I fear downloading complete package of 2.88GB may not give same results that's why I wish to download it directly and I plan to update via HuRUpdater.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Exactly as said above, instead of differential OTA with default 634 MB, opt for Full OTA update of 2.88 GB or so

Different results?! Differential OTA fails if it still finds something different than expected and cannot apply partial update. Full does not look for differences but installs the full b550 System and Data files not trying to pinpoint particular files to patch or replace -still not forcing Factory reset

Actually, weren't you originally asking for b550 update package to download and install manually? That would also be Full package of 2-3 GB (but applicable for DLOAD), so resulting exactly with the same as if you force Full OTA from System update.

Same thing, different procedure, OTA vs. DLOAD, TWRP, HuRupdater (?) or something
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] myaseenashraf1@gmail.com:
OK. Thanks a lot!

I will update via Full OTA and share the experience here.

Will it affect the "Dual Sim Patch" installed?
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
If you loose dual SIM, just install TWRP for Oreo and flash the NW patch again

There is a similar case with P9 EVA: two years old HWOTA7 method for rebranding to AL10.with the network patch (from the same developer), and now OTA update to b550, so you can see a similar discussion and experiences in that thread (posts from the last days):

OTA and network patch finally worked

Hi.. to give a short update:

After reading about the successful results with B550 from other xda-developers users here, i've tried again:

*flashed the original recovery (recovery_ramdisk) extracted from B537 update package

*issued a full reset in the bootloader

*update to B550 via eRecovery "download & install latest update" && reset (2,2 gb full package was pulled)

*reboot to BL and installed twrp via fastboot again

*booted to twrp and installed network patch single sim v2.5

*booted into system

-> Successful update and working mobile

I'm not sure, what exactly made the difference here to my previous approaches. Whether it was the additional reset before the update, the fact that i've downloaded the update through eRecovery from wlan, or differences between v2.5 and v2.6 of the network patch :confused:

Just wanted to let you know, that it worked. :)
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:

(I've simulated fingerprint on another device by help of MHPC and can get it passing only with the second, not first

HUAWEI/EVA-AL10/HWVIE:8.0.0/HUAWEIEVA-AL10/550(C00):user/release-keys
