[GUIDE] Debranding to C432 and updating to B361 (Nougat) for EVA-L09

Like many people here, I was eager to get onto Android 7 but the issue I faced was the fact that I got a branded phone and a long wait till I officially get the Android 7 update. Looking through this forum I was very put off on manually updating it to Android 7 with so many threads about bricked phones. However, the urge to get onto Android 7 was too great so ultimately, I decided to do my research and just do it. I am not new to flashing and custom roms but I am new to Huawei but I had confidence that I will recover if I do brick my new P9. In the end (after a few bricks and a couple of mild heart attacks), I got there and to get there, I needed to grab information from multiple threads. So I have decided to put together this guide so people have a singular guide to debrand and get onto Android 7. Below are steps and threads I took to debrand my C34 to C432 and update it to B361.
What listed below is what I did to get onto Android 7, this may or may not work for you so use this guide at your own risk.
Using this Guide - Please read through this guide BEFORE attempting it. There is a lot of large files to download so I recommend that you download everything you need before you make a start and a fast and reliable internet is strongly recommended.
Prep Work
- Backup all your data because your phone will get wiped.
- Make sure you have the stock recovery already flashed and make sure your phone is not rooted (may not be necessary but this was the state my phone was in).
- Get yourself a bootloader code from Huawei. Go to http://www.emui.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download, you will need to create a Huawei ID if you haven't already done so. Click on the Unlock Bootloader link and fill out the form, you should get a bootloader code almost instantly after submitting the form.
- Download and install HiSuite (http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html).
- Download the SRK Tool from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66737472&postcount=2
Now lets make a start.
1. Download and flash the dload-huawei-p9-eval09-eva-b136.zip from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818. Instructions on how to flash this is in the first post. After flashing, you should be on the L09C900B136 firmware. NOTE: If it boots up to a white screen asking you to enter password, reboot into recovery by holding volume up when you powering up your phone, do a wipe partition and factory reset. You may need to reboot your phone a number times before the phone boots up correctly.
2. After flashing and booting into the L09C900B136 firmware, you will need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP. You can use the SRK Tool to do this, please have a look at this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66737472&postcount=2) and watch the video on how to do this. NOTE: You only need to unlock bootloader and install the TWRP recovery.
3. After your phone has been unlocked with TWRP recovery installed, download oeminfo-huawei-p9-eval09-c432.zip from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/c432-oeminfo-flash-twrp-t3384903 and flash it via TWRP. To get into TWRP, power off your phone and go into recovery by powering up your phone while holding volume up.
4. Once you flashed the oeminfo file via TWRP, power off your phone and repeat step 1. So you need to flash the dload-huawei-p9-eval09-eva-b136.zip file again via the dload method (power on the phone while holding volume up and volume down). NOTE: When you flash this firmware again, it will lock your bootloader (Fastboot will tell you that the phone is unlocked but I assure you, your bootloader is locked) and restore to stock recovery.
5. Once your phone has booted back up, go into the phone settings and you should see that your phone is now on the EVA-L09C432B136 firmware. To test that the firmware is working as intended, go into the phone settings and go into Updater, updater should pick up the B182 firmware and you should be able to update it to B182 without an issue.
UPDATE: A number of people has reported that they are getting the B166 update instead of B182, if this happes, do a wipe partition and a factory reset after updating to B166. When you get back in, you should be able to update to B182 via Updater in the Settings menu. If this method does not work, you can manually update to B182 by following the steps here: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/11/download-huawei-p9-b182-marshmallow-update-europe/
6. After your phone has rebooted and you are on the B182 firmware, you need to now update the firmware to B361 via Huawei Updater 2.0 using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70594380&postcount=2.
After all that is done, you should now have a debranded UK C432 P9 running EMUI 5.0.
Special thanks to @paulobrien, @somboons and @KrAzYtHeBoY for their guide, tools, files and video to make this update possible.

Props to you sir. I will try this when I get back. I don't have any doubts now after reading this guide.

Does debranding will affect warranty of the device? Mine is quite new.

Its very likely that debranding will void your warranty since you will need to unlock the bootloader and flash a firmware that is not the same as your original model.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the guide. I've recently been battling away trying to go from C34 to C636 - still never got to the bottom of it.
Is that a typo in your post for your original model number - C43? Or did you come from Optus AU C34?
Either way - have you had any network issues in Australia with the new firmware?
Cheers.

Yep, its a typo, thanks for pointing it out. I have no issues what so ever, everything works perfectly fine and there has been no drop in cellular reception, wifi reception, GPS accuracy and etc. Apart from the build saying L09C432, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference.

Legend. Appreciate the reply - it was tough to find experienced Aussies on the same starting build/carrier.
Now I just wish I hadn't wasted the time going for the Asia Pacific variant!
Will get stuck into it this evening.
Thanks!

Great guide! Reading through it seems easier for it to be managed through hisuite/windows but I have a big issue. For some reason my computer won't recognize my phone! I installed the beta and am on build number EMUI-A168-L09C900B040SP11-log and since doing this stupid move I have been unable to connect to a computer nor install other builds or rollbacks directly on the device so I just feel like smashing it and claiming the insurance. Is there any advise that could be offered to maybe force a firmware upgrade?

How did you get onto that build? Have you tried following the guide I put up?

Ha I don't have a clue how I ended up with that build but I've regretted my decision to install a beta version of the nougat every day since. I will try this method this afternoon and see how I go!

I cant promise you that the guide I put together will work for you. If its a Nougat beta firmware then you would be technically doing a rollback to MM. Just a bit of a warning, a lot of people who try to roll back to MM, usually encounter problems, annoying problems. Unfortunately, I dont have much experience with this phone or how Huawei does things so I cant help you much. If I am in your shoes, I wouldn't attempt to debrand and flash Nougat using this guide.

That's not the news I wanted to hear! I guess I'll keep this guide in mind and do some more research, hopefully find someone in love with Huawei that might be able to assist. Thanks

Hi z-blade I flashed B136 but it didn't put icons and themes back .. I flashed B182 and STILL didn't put icons and themes back
BUT only B166 gave me proper theme and icons back.. ! After that I flashed I had to flash B182 and so on.. B166 is the key important
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I got theme and icon on mine but it may have came through when I flash B361. I went from a full factory reset on B136 to B182 to B361, not once did I stop to check to make sure all of the apps are installed, I only started setting up my phone and have a browse once I was on EMUI 5.0. It may be un-necessary to flash B166 if flashing B361 give you themes and icons.
If someone could double check on this when following this guide and report in, that would be great. I am not willing to test it out by rolling back to mushmellow.

Are you on an unbranded device?
If so, the official Huawei support page offers a rollback package if you updated to the Nougat beta.
Make sure you go to the page specific to your country.

Broken themes/icons seem to be caused by missing assets in the /CUST/ partition. I managed to get around it on my broken C900 firmware by separately flashing the /hw/normal/ package specific to the build. These can be found in the filelist.xml in the [WAREHOUSE] post - but you need to change the URL manually to grab the file.

SmartPhonesFan said:
So B361 will? Didn't know that.. Didn't want to risk it it took ages to download.. I had 3 folders in B136 but I flashed it via dial pad options.. Not 3btn..maybe if I would flash via 3btn it will give it back then and I wouldn't need B166..
Cannot be bothered.. It's done now..
Nougat best..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It makes no difference if you use the 3 button method or via the dial menu, both does exactly the same thing. I am only assuming that Themes could be installed when I flashed B361, I was not paying attention to the apps that was installed but I think this may be the case because I believe the Theme app was updated for EMUI 5.0, again all assumptions here.

Can I jump directly from b136 to b361?
Thanks in advance.

It's from Vodafone unfortunately

I've followed the guide as far as step 5. When I got there, I ended up getting an update for L09C432B166 which installed fine, but I'm not getting the B182 update. Anyone else run into an issue like this?

No you cant, you need to get to B182 before flashing B361.

Try wiping partition and a factory rest and see if you get the B182 update. If not, you can download the B182 update and flash it via dload but if that does not work, you can try doing it via the Hisuite and Updater method.

new firmware FRD-L09C432B380

Today i have receive update info by ota from server Huawei (420mb)
Optimize battery use.
Root and twrp i can use after flash ?

I have the same problem. I try using the stock recovery and also stock boot.
img, but in stock recovery an error occurs while checking the update.zip. It always delete the files for the update and after booting the system the update downloaded by the system again. After five tries I don't try it again.
Are there any possibilities to install this update without wiping the whole system?

With all due respect, there hasn't really been a new ROM since December, Huawei won't release the code so we can take their spyware out.

Update B360 on B380 without downgrade to MM.
1. Turn on FF and search for updates.
2. Set the proxy to localhost 8080.
3. In FF select B380 OTA-MF (383MB) and do not download only send to updater.
4. Go to system update tab and select the last full package. The system will find a full package with a long name of over 2GB.
5. Select the next find the last full package. Now the system should show the package about 400MB with the normal version name. Do not download!
6. Go to proxy settings and disable them.
7. Go back to the update tab and start downloading.
Should download, update. You have the B380 version.
After a few minutes after the update, the phone is standing on the start screen for a few minutes, waiting patiently.

Cannot Download L29C636B172OTA through Firmware Finder

Hello everyone,
Saw the MHA-L29C636B172 OTA on firmware finder for about 10 days now but it can't download (just stays stuck on 0%). Tried WiFi and mobile.
Was hoping I'll get the OTA on my phone (I check about 4 times a day) but nothing yet.
I'm in Malaysia, is there anything I can do to get it early?
Thank you

So, I saw this update on a website. Has two files;
1. update. zip - 1.727GB
2. update_full_hw_spcseas.zip - 672.92MB
The steps are in the images below.
Do you think is is safe?

I think you should just wait for the OTA and stop obsessing about it. Don't go around flashing stuff from dubious sources.

First off, is firmware finder legit? Cos in the post above, he mentioned dubious sources, but i want to believe it is cos a lot of people here recommended it severally.
Secondly, in firmware finder, it is 657MB but when I sent to Huawei updater it now reads 2.02GB.

To be honest I'm not sure, but my best guess is that those Fw are for internal testing before being released for the public.
The safest way is of course to wait for the official update.
Tried the same thing as you just now. Was around 2GB.
Chances are it will fail at the authentication and not authorised. But hey, maybe it's just me.

I tried download the zip file and follow the instructions. However, for the first step, it always fails after rebooting and starting updating the system. It fails pretty quickly. I don't know why .. I have the update.app under dload on my sdcard.

It fails signature verification. I guess we'll have to wait for it to hit the carriers for us to update.

so I am on t-mobile now. maybe it works on china mobile?

HELP Honor 8 Boot-Loop After OTA out of the box [FRD-L19].

Hi all
My honor 8 just arrived yesterday,
Turned it on and it prompted me for a software update and it went in to a boot-loop.
Not sure what fw it was on before the update, also unsure what version it was upgrading to.
Later found out trough fastboot that it is (FRD-L19C636B386).
Tried to factory reset (no luck)
Tried eRecovery method, keeps showing (Getting package info failed)
Tried the 3 finger method with FRD-L19C636B380, keeps showing (Software install failed Get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore)
Tried to flash trough fastboot, unfortunately it can't be done without unlocking the bootloader.
Wanted to unlock the bootloader but seems like it requires the phone to be able to boot to OS before I can get the unlock code.
Anyone having the same issue or have other alternatives/solutons for me to try?
Cheers!

Try rollback package

Hi I also have L19 and trying to update to B380 from B360 thru OTA using Firmware Finder. And your issue happened to me. It just bootloops then goes to eRecovery but it has error " Getting package into failed".
So can you help me step by step on how you fixed your phone? Thanks!
Tried using Rollback package. but now my new error is "Data partition was damaged seriously! ..."
I dont know what to do anymore, I just bought this phone 5 days ago, sad life.

1. what to do to unlock bootloader?
2. Whats happening now is, the "Honor" logo boots twice then goes to Huawei eRecovery. Under eRecovery it has option "Download latest version and recovery" > "Download and recovery" > "Starting WIFI failed". Actually I can connect to wifi earlier and this what happens to the eRecovery "Getting package info failed". But now it CANT connect to the wifi.
3. I tried the firmware rollback but it didnt help

What do you mean by the "(2 zips)" ? What I only know it has UPDATE.APP.

There were 2 b380 available, 1st is 300mb 2nd file is full ota. I only downloaded d full ota. No PV at d end as far as i remember. Used wifi proxy > system update ota > start download pause > return wifi config > resume ota update.

Ithink this was issue, if you want install some firmware or update (Nougat) must be always labeled with PV, with this is able to install over dload or twrp

I think PV filenames is for twrp. I just read that updating to b380 you need to rollback to b120 which is marshmallow then jump to b380. As long as i can return it to my stock b360 Im fine with it. I will just wait for Oreo or OTA update without using FF since this issue is driving me nuts. It's just 5 day old phone n this already happened. My download is still at 50% very frustrating download speed

As far I know every update must by labeled with PV if will can be installed manualy, this is "offline firmwares" wich don't need be checked online by Huawei

I have downloaded the 2 files. When I extract the 1st file it has 3 files ( meta-INF, update.app, full_mainpkg.tag). Should I put these 3 files to the dload folder or just the update.app?

The 1st file worked my phone now booted, but the problem is I cant pass thru setup/google account because it doesnt have keyboard just voice command. Why no keyboard, it's my 1st time to see this happened as well, was there a problem with my download?
Im now in the process of installing the 2nd file you gave thru 3 combo, lets see if it gives me a keyboard.

You want to correctly place the UPDATE.APP file in external storage (external_sd - dload - UPDATE.APP)

I downloaded the file you told me about, copied it in a dload folder on my sdcard, but it still refuses to install, failing at 5%. I precise that my phone is working under the last update from hhuawei, build number PRA-LA1 8.0.0.361 (C185). Because I want to sale this phone and solve a fingerprint issue since the last update, I need to restore it to stock with a proper firmware (not having a Honor boot logo). Any help please

Ok I'll give it a shot, but I am pessimistic. Isn't it possible to revert and downgrade to Nougat?

I gave it a try, it didn't work, also failed at 5%. I connected my phone to HiSuite with my PC and was able to downgrade to Nougat, but I still have a problem with my Fingerprint sensor, and I know that it's a software problem not hardware. Anyway, thank you for your help, deeply appreciated

My fingerprints was working just fine and after an update its setting disappeared from the phone's parameters. The official Oreo update made it appear again but after the last update, the settings vanished again. My phone was checked by a technician and the sensor physically works well that's why I'm convinced the problem is a software problem not a hardware one.
