Emui 5.0 - Error in customizing themes - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed a problem in the themes, I can apply any of them, but when I select customize for example just the icons, it returns the main screen of the application without confirming the change, had already noticed this in the B562 and now in the B573 still persists. Has anyone else had this problem? Adding, that my device is a DL00, officially updated Chinese model.

I have B573 with NXT-DL00 and customizing and apply themes work good. Bootloader locked, and update oficial from b386 to b573. Its same themes problem in other rom but not remember it. try Factory reset with data backup in extsdcard with security backup of huawei app.

Update rooted Honor 6+ to Lollipop

Hi, I have a rooted chinese Honor 6+ on EMUI 3.0 and I'm trying to upgrade it to Lollipop. Reason is I had problems with the phone and I factory reset it (turns out it was the sd card causing all problems) and now I don't see any Motion Control options at all, it's blank.
Also, I wanted to be able to restore and backup on google as currently mine has an option (screenshot attached) but doesn't really work. I lost all my settings when I reset the phone.
Any ideas on how to flash either Lollipop or flash a rom with all the google stuff and motion control settings properly working? Phone is rooted with CWM recovery.
Anyway to fix this ?
More details:
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP on H60-L04. Then I put back the stock recovery (from B521 firmware) and installed firmware B524 which skipped some percentage with faild message quickly and rebooted then the build number is updated and all good except the Motion Control options which are blank. Any way to fix this ?
Now I put back the TWRP. Thank you in advance !

[Solved]Need help,mess up with L09

[Solved] I had the l09-c636b191 official version no new ota updates with that version,
Then I did the following:
1.Download l09-c636b210 and install with dload method(works without problem)and download b321 and dload inst..(no problems).
Then I came up with the idea to install nougat beta,downlod l09c636b521:
2.Unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery and doo factory reset...
3.Flash update.zip(only that,it`s mistake,I did not know that need hw update_data.zip ) got errors during flashing after finish restart phone and phone boot with nougat...
4.First no kayboord only google voice,I went through anyway from setup,second many apps missing like clock...settings crashes,and THEMES NOT WORK,MAGAZIN UNLOCK does not exist no wallpapers.In about phone said test kay..
Then I decided to back on b321,then I realized that it was all because I did not flash data.zip(I did not have)
5.Back to b321 with dload and install phone boot and goot with Blinking screen asking for password,I switched off phone and boot in stock recovery doo factory reset after that phone on and setup start(with kayboord)...
6.On home screen the first thing I noticed icons and wallpaper are stock google no emui look,and go to change thames same problem no stock themes(any other not work) and unlock magazine does not exist no wallpapers.But is stable 6.0
I decided to try again to flash android 7.0,just this time with data.zip(download from one xda user)
7.I did everything like at the beginning 2.
Flash update.zip and hw_update.spsceas.zip got errors during installition,after finish installation,it was all the same no kayboord...etc
8.Back to b321 again with dload(this time no password or blinking screen)but is same like latest time themes not work ickons and wallpapers stock android.
Now system is stabile but not 100% have some bugs.
9.Try to register on Malesya beta test progaram for nougat I succeeded in that said got my ota update on december 31. But still no update in settings and notphing in hicare.

[TUTORIAL]How to update EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to B361 (EMUI 5)

I had been searching for a way to update my EVA-L09C636 (Asia-Pacific) model to EMUI 5.0. During the previous month I tried to install EVA-L09C636B361 firmware via either dload and Huawei Updater, but such means of direct installation never worked out.
Now the problem is solved, and the solution is quite simple, though a little bit unexpected: using Huawei Updater to install EVA-L19C636B190 before installing EVA-L09's own B361 firmware. I mean, it is interesting that we have to "borrow" the B190 firmware from the Dual SIM L19 model in order to update to EMUI 5.
(I'm not the first person to find the solution. I just found out that in a Taiwanese forum a tutorial is already posted. )
So there are two steps to install B361:
1.
Install EVA-L19C636B190 via Huawei Updater
Use Custom ROM URL
Copy and paste the link to EVA-L19C636B190:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1079/g104/v64578/f1/
Use the HiSuite on PC to finish the installation of B190 (Set its proxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 41279)
2.
Repeat the previous process, but this time, replace the link with the one to EVA-L09C636B361:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73928/f1/
Again, use the HiSuite to finish the installation of B361
Note that the C636B190 version firmware for L19 model does run on L09 without the support of the L09-exclusive NFC. I think there should be a thread discussing this. Anyways, before official update comes out, the two steps above seem to be the only way to install EMUI 5 on the Asia-Pacific EVA-L09C636 version without losing data.
That is interesting, I dont have a C636 but I would assume just doing step 2 without the need to flash a L19B636 would do the trick.

I was searching for this for months. I bought my p9 EVA-L09C636 in the US (I'm european) and I never had the chance to update, even at 4.1.1. I went crazy because I tried several times to unlock the bootloader first, installing twrp and flashing updates but with no success. It's unbelievable that I need to fake the version with huawei updater to obtain the updates for my phone. Now I've Nougat, without factory reset, with everything working, from nfc to all stock apps and services. Thank you very much

Need Help
My model is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
I tried to update like this, it's started updating and got an error while updating then phone rebooted with new update,
but there's lot of errors,
Built Number displays as - NRD90M test-keys
Updater missing in settings
Camera missing
Flash Light not working
Clock missing
File Manger missing
and few more default huawei apps missing.
How do I fix it or downgrade to previous version back?
Thanks finally I was able to update my P9 to Nougat using this steps. The only difference is that there is a EVA-L09C636B190 available now so i didnt have to use the version for any other cell, I was afraid to do it. So following this steps i was able to upgrade from 168 to 190 and finally to 361 version.
My Phone is Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636
Even though my phone is L09 I've flashed L19 by following the steps on this thread -
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l09c636b521-official-firmware-guide-t3544729/)
2016.12.29 - EVA-L19C636 - EVA-L19C636B361
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1583/g104/v74666/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...ll/hw/spcseas/update_data_full_hw_spcseas.zip
it's still NRD90M test-keys. but i'm cool with it.
Works on AL00 as well?
I was wondering if I can get the most current european rom on my AL00 with that method as well?
Holy cow thank you for this tutorial.
I spent six hours following every tutorial I could find on the web and my P9 staunchly refused to install ANY update from the very next one after the one it came with all the way up to the latest!
After hours and hours of trying this method is the one that worked.
Edit: This firmware is a developer build.
There have been several updates installed since it was released.
After you this firmware it you should immediately install Huawei Firmware Finder from the Play Store and install the latest full OTA.
The developer build changes the device ID of your phone so you have to manually add the model of your phone in Firmware Finder as:
EVA-L19C636
Otherwise Firmware Finder would tell you there are no firmwares available for your model.
If you can't install the latest OTA immediately after installing this firmware, first install the next one available (38 if I recall correctly) then install the latest OTA -- 38 will say it failed to install but it actually installs just fine, then install the latest full OTA.
That will give you all the bug fixes and the security patches from Google.
Also note that this firmware works on both the dual sim and single sim models (it's built for the single sim but my device is dual sim and the sim configuration in settings works).

The build number is normal.
As for the disappearing apps, it sounds like you have faulty flash storage.
That will cause files and apps to randomly disappear.

Can't access ProjectMenu to get DC Unlocker code

Hi everybody,
I was recently trying to update my phone so I did this by wiping the partitions and flashing the latest OS using HWOTA. I kinda messed this up and tried to fix it and basically dug myself a massive hole trying to fix a minor mistake.
Eventually I made the mistake of factory resetting it. Now I am at a stage where I have no TWRP and my bootloader shows its unlocked (shows Phone unlocked and "oem get-bootinfo" shows unlocked) but does not allow me to run commands that I should. FRP shows as unlocked on fastboot and in developer settings.
I would simply try to unlock my bootloader again using oem unlock with my unlock code however I was silly enough to not save my code from DC Unlocker. I would get my code by setting my phone to manufactor mode etc, however its messed up so that most the default software is not included, including the ProjectMenu, and even a default keyboard (only includes Googles Voice keyboard).
Is it possible to get this menu back or is there anything I can do to restore my phone to have TWRP on it?
I tried installing the ProjectMenu APK but that fails and I don't know how to install the files in "update_data_full_public". I have messed with my phone a lot to try and fix it, including using the erecovery to try and flash many various updates, rolled it back, and flashing it after that to no avail.
There's a lot that I have done that is not included so if theres any questions, please ask.
Thanks

Yes, I have tried using the dload method multiple times with different firmwares, the "Download and install via wifi" method which fails as it says it cannot find anything for my phone, as well as trying through HiSuite when in fastboot. This also says it can't find any package for my phone. Very weird to be honest.
Also tried factory reset, settings reset (from advanced menu in settings), and wiping cache.
Also tried to go back to Android 6 using this method: https://www.stechguide.com/downgrade-honor-8-from-nougat-to-marshmallow/ and that failed ):
Ok, so I used this tutorial ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/b399-flash-via-dload-mode-t3716885 which is yours) and it actually flashed and upgraded the phone. ProjectMenu still wasn't working so updated from the settings as one appeared. Phone is now on C432 B404.
Project menu still doesn't work along with some default apps not being installed such as Clock.
It seems like all the files I need is in the "update_data_full_public" update zip including the project menu apk. Does anyone know how to flash everything in this file as just installing the apk fails?
I tried putting it in to dload file but that just files as there is no update.app.

drm/widevine.zip patches for ab is not needed to flash?
I didn't have time to look if it was necessary. The patch is only needed if the version of emui9 you are using has a preavs partition. You can see it if you capture a logcat log with adb. If so I would make a drm patch with the correct version of the drm files for stf-l09
I have finally had the chance to fully implement it, and I'm here to give you the feedback!
Generally speaking, it can be considered a stable build and can be used on your main device. However, there's always room for improvement and the following areas should be revised:
1- The included "Android System WebView" is too old to work, rendering synchronizing with Google accounts impossible. The workaround is easy, however, as the updated versions can be downloaded from the Play store. The same applies to: "Phone", "Contacts", "Messaging" and "Browser" apps.
2- The "Search" box in the Home screen is impossible to remove.
3- The "Navigation bar inverse" option in "Phh Treble Settings -> Misc features" doesn't work, even after re-selecting navbar mode, as specified.
4- The "Adaptive Brightness" option results in more brightness than needed, where it has to be manually lowered. The cause might be related to incorrect readings from the phone's sensors, on the software side.
5- Not a problem, but rather a suggestion: More customizations in general, and in the "Status bar" specifically, can make the ROM more appealing.
Additionally, the instructions above for flashing the ROM are good enough, but it's worth adding that the bootloader of the target phone has to be unlocked first The instructions to achieve that are likely included in the "Honor 9 Guides, News, & Discussion" forum.
Keep up the great work

Yep, that's what I did.
However, the small downside to that is the extra memory usage. Besides that, no launcher really bests the baked-in one in smoothness, but again, that's minor.

Sadly I still didn't managed to do it... I can't downgrade from android 9 to 8 :/ In the past i had that option, but now it's just gone...
I tried dload method with SDCard, but it fails every time. I guess that dload method only works to upgrade and not to downgrade?
If you have some tips to help me downgrade it let me know please
Hello AltairFR,
I've got a Honor 9 in quite good state, and I wanted to upgrade it to most current version before using it (I'm no real geek, set up and then "never touch a running system" is rather me).
I started with unlocking bootloader with DC-unlocker, successfully.
I installed and used adb and fastboot utils.
Then I attempted to install TWRP according to this manual https://romprovider.com/honor-9-dev-support/
As far as I understand, the trick consists of two parts, 1) proper version of TWRP (not easy to find one for Honor 9!), and 2) patched kernel to avoid restore of stock recovery, so TWRP persists.
Unfortunately I failed. After I performed all the steps, the phone got to a bootloop (booted, restarted, booted, restarted, ...)
That version of TWRP never started, it just showed the logo and hung. Patched kernel was no success either because
stock recovery is back. The only way I can resurrect TWRP is to perform factory reset in stock recovery. Then next start is TWRP, and afterwards again just bootloop and stock recovery.
Then I found and installed a working version of TWRP here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-ish-twrp-3-2-1-for-honor-9-running-gsi-8-1-roms.3818442/
Then I attempted Android 10 according to https://theupgradeguide.com/install-android-10-on-honor-9-aosp-gsi-treble-rom-how-to-guide/
This was most successful attempt so far, except it was only installed w/o GApps and Antroid reported "There is an internal problem in your device. Please contact your manufacturer." <- not really useable.
Then I tried your Android 13 build. I installed it the way you recommend (fastboot). I got "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" and something about "device reported max upload size of" about 400MB. Nevertheless, it completed kind of successfully. But this Android never started up. It's starting and then reboots. Both with GApps and without.
I assumed the reason could be that patched Kernel I installed at the beginning. I inspected my versions with "Multi-Tool for Huawei and Honor" and found Firmware version = STF-L09 8.0.0.368(C432) Your prerequisites are
ROM Kernel: Stock kernel​ROM Firmware Required: EMUI 9.1​My EMUI is not reported by "Multi-Tool" at all, although in the video guide it's shown. (Perhaps because I don't have any EMUI at all anymore. As far as I understood, it's a Huawei version of "look-and-feel" on Android).
So now my question, how did you manage to get EMUI 9.1 ?
I searched for stock firmware to restore my phone to at least original state. I found https://huaweistockrom.com/honor-9-stf-l09 which refers to EMUI 9.1 in file name Huawei_Honor_9_STF-L09_9.1.0.210_C43 ... .0.0_R3_EMUI9.1.0_05014NMA_Dload.zip
But the free download site is not available, and it's a bit risky to go for paid one without knowing the archive file contains what it sais.
Hence my question, how did you manage to get your EMUI 9.1 ? My pretty much last hope is, if I get to that version of stock software then your Android 13 build hopefully installs successfully too.
Thank you in advance.
Hello. I think you've complicated yourself. The procedure is much simpler, you just need to flash the right twrp and then install LeaOS. I look on my stf the version of emui that I have. I will answer you later

Then I found and installed a working version of TWRP here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-ish-twrp-3-2-1-for-honor-9-running-gsi-8-1-roms.3818442/
Then I attempted Android 10 according to https://theupgradeguide.com/install-android-10-on-honor-9-aosp-gsi-treble-rom-how-to-guide/
This was most successful attempt so far, except it was only installed w/o GApps and Antroid reported "There is an internal problem in your device. Please contact your manufacturer." <- not really useable.
Then I tried your Android 13 build. I installed it the way you recommend (fastboot). I got "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" and something about "device reported max upload size of" about 400MB. Nevertheless, it completed kind of successfully. But this Android never started up. It's starting and then reboots. Both with GApps and without.
I assumed the reason could be that patched Kernel I installed at the beginning. I inspected my versions with "Multi-Tool for Huawei and Honor" and found Firmware version = STF-L09 8.0.0.368(C432) Your prerequisites are
ROM Kernel: Stock kernel​ROM Firmware Required: EMUI 9.1​My EMUI is not reported by "Multi-Tool" at all, although in the video guide it's shown. (Perhaps because I don't have any EMUI at all anymore. As far as I understood, it's a Huawei version of "look-and-feel" on Android).
So now my question, how did you manage to get EMUI 9.1 ?
I searched for stock firmware to restore my phone to at least original state. I found https://huaweistockrom.com/honor-9-stf-l09 which refers to EMUI 9.1 in file name Huawei_Honor_9_STF-L09_9.1.0.210_C43 ... .0.0_R3_EMUI9.1.0_05014NMA_Dload.zip
But the free download site is not available, and it's a bit risky to go for paid one without knowing the archive file contains what it sais.
Hence my question, how did you manage to get your EMUI 9.1 ? My pretty much last hope is, if I get to that version of stock software then your Android 13 build hopefully installs successfully too.
Thank you in advance.

Here is the way https://romprovider.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei/
I paid 4.31 EUR (4 credits).

Thank you, I found the site in the meantime. The latest version there is C432B130 while mine is B368. (Is it the reason why patched Kernel B366 silently failed to install?..)

I'm too far away from HiSuite yet.
I managed to start installation of stock firmware from SD card. "Installing EMUI" after 5% progress breaks with "Software install failed, reboot system now" :-/
In TWRP file manager I see a couple of directories were created on SD card [perhaps by installation routine, who else] with "android" in their names, and a couple of files. Just a couple of, not more.

Btw have a question about device. I have bootloader unlocked years ago now, i had code but lost in a virus attack. Found that potato method that worked for honor 8. My question is if i flash those service firmwares to oreo or pie bootloader will relock? In 8 it did. Is there any way to flash oreo and pie roms without having to flash firmwares? If the only way is test point to get unlock code i'll do that when battery will die or smth like that.
