[Guide] Huawei P9 & P9 Plus Refurbish Guide

!!!WARNING!!!
IN THE HUAWEI ANDROID N BETA FIRMWARE, DOWNGRADE IS UNAVAILABLE.
I HAVE TESTED IT ON MY PHONE, IF YOU TRYING TO DOWNGRADE, IT WILL TOLD YOU FIRMWARE VERIFICATION ERROR.
This thread will change to a small guide of my tool.
[FOR REFURBISH PURPOSE / WITH Official Recovery]
Requirement:
Computer and P9 connected to the same WiFi network (locally accessable).
Step:
1. Run the tool, select firmware version and press [Start]
2. On your phone, set proxy IP to your computer's IP, and the proxy port to 41279

}
3. Enter Settings -> Update -> Menu -> Download latest full package
(This tool cannot get incremental update package, so it would not give you any update info before click 'Download latest full package')
4. Then, you will get a update around 1.70 GB - 1.80GB, that is the regular size for full rom with pre-installed data.
(If the update package is aroung 1.50GB that means the customize version is incorrect for your device)
5. After fully flash in recovery, you can press Volume Up + Power enter official recovery and do a Factory Reset.
[FOR UNBRICK PURPOSE / WITHOUT Official Recovery]
Due to the limitation of Huawei HiSuite, It would NOT flash the pre-installed data, like themes or icons.
So, following procedure is for unbrick ONLY. If you want fully flash the firmware, you need to follow next reply.
Requirement:
1. Your device can enter FASTBOOT.
(If that partition was broken, this tools cannot help you anymore.)
2. Huawei HiSuite (Click Here to Download)
3. A computer that have a stable internet connection.
Step:
1. Start the tool, select correct firmware version, and click [Start]
2. Start HiSuite, Set proxy IP to 127.0.0.1, proxy port to 41279
3. Click [System Recovery] in the right bottom corner of HiSuite
4. Follow the procedure provided by Huawei to make your devices into FASTBOOT Mode.
(Power off -> Connect your device to the computer running HiSuite -> Hold Volume Down + Power button till it enter FASTBOOT)
5. Waiting for HiSuite to recover your Huawei P9.

As I tested before, that version may during internal testing for release and that build, SafetyNet related function (like Android Pay) may not working properly.

Can I with "How to fully reflash" method change the brand of the phone ? Actually I'm running EVA-L09C55B141 and I've no update to do

Actually, you need change oeminfo partition first, to make the Updater can fetch the oem data files correctly.
Currently, you can follow this thread or SRK Tool to change the oeminfo from C55 to C432, and flash other firmware.
If you want change to other country and/or operator's brand, I'll write a guide later depend on my experience.

Currently, My tool only provide the full firmware flash option, because the OTA package may depend on different version. It may support force OTA in the future.

Hi man, thanks for you reply.
So what I've to do is: 1. unlock bootloader 2. flash a special recovery 3. root the phone 4. flash the new oem data 5. flash the new firmware (compatible with the oem) and restore recovery + bootloader ?
Am I right ?
In all this, will I lose the warranty ?

Only one thing is incorrect , Step 5, using my tool + HiSuite restore to official firmware.
As I tested before, follow unbrick method, will automatically flash official recovery and restore the lock status.
As far as I know, that would not avoid the warranty.

Thanks for the tool man. Works great

Thanks a lot for work!
Hi man, I had c02 and I debranded to c432 using oem. Now I've c432b170 received by official ota. If I want rollback to c02b133( is it the latest official update for vodafone?) is it enough to use your software ore I'd to use oem again?

Yep, it is enough to use my tool to go back. Due to my tool only have full firmware listed, the C133 might not be the newest version. If not, the OTA is waiting after flash.[emoji14]
However, you need restore the oeminfo first for full restore, because you phone would get oem data partition based on it when you download latest full package with my tool.
Due to TWRP is essential for changing oeminfo, flash twice is essential for full refurbish. Firstly, use HiSuite to flash official system and recovery. Then, use the phone itself to restore one data.

Sorry i'm new user so i can't quote discussion for 10 reply):
I'd like to roll back to c02b133 from c432b170
So let's see if I've understood : flash vodafone firmware using your tool - unlock bootloader - install twrp - flash oeminfo and reset system..

No, the correct step is, unlock your phone -> flash recovery -> restore oeminfo -> flash firmware by HiSuite (it will lock your phone and flash official recovery automatically) -> flash again by phone for full restore oem data partition.
After all the steps, you can fully go back to stock firmware.
Format system to clean it is optional.

Sorry but do not understand...
Correct steps : unlock your phone (unlock bootloader?) - flash recovery (install twrp?) - restore oeminfo ( flash oeminfo.zip by twrp?) - flash firmware by hisuite ( connect usb my phone to pc hisuite without your tool? ) - flash again by phone for full restore oem data partition ( what do i flash ? vodafone firmware by your tool?).

I am also having the same question.
AL10 debranded to L29C432B560 - B180 -> B190 - > system update to B560
and then I updated to Kangvip 577
now I have the test keys too in build.prop but not in about page. In about page it is showing as L29C432B560.
I wanted to do clean install so I tried going back to stock and I couldn't until I got the rollback package. But even then it wasn't easy.
So please tell me did you try going back to stock? Are you also having C432B560?
After getting to B560 - what steps did you follow to update B577? did you get any failed to mount errors during flash?
Please share your experience
Thanks

Hi guys,
this morning was uploaded STF-L09C432B150 Rollback update (FullOTA) on Huawei server. Here are download links:
http://http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1906/g1642/v105908/f1/full/update.zip

Changelog:
Code:
This update will roll back your phone's operating system to Android 7.0 (EMUI 5.1).
Rollback notes:
1. Please make sure you are currently using the official version of Huawei EMUI, and that no unofficial updates have been installed. Otherwise, there will be risk of an unsuccessful rollback, and an unknown error may occur.
2. Make sure that the current version has not been unlocked or rooted.
3. All user data will be deleted in the rollback. Use an SD card, computer, or Cloud storage to back up all important data before rolling back your phone, and make sure all backed up content is complete and effective.
4. Make sure your phone has more than 50% battery remaining.
5. If you experience any issues during the update, please call the Huawei customer service hotline or visit an authorised Huawei service centre for assistance.
6. The system will restart after the rollback. This will take about 10 minutes. Following the update, your home screen will automatically display the EMUI 5.1 theme.

This is rollback update only, it can be used only if you are using greater official updat from Huawei running on Android 8. and it will downgrade you from Android 8 back to Android 7.

And how to do it? First put update.app from first ZIP file do dload directory and flash it and then do the same with second app? As in this thread: https://androidforum.cz/advanced-search/?keywords=dload&t=76974&sf=msgonly (czech language)

I have a retail german version of the Honor9
After installing 150 you can also update to 180 via official system -> Update -> Download full package

wow I hope this means Oreo is comming officialy, mine was just updated to B180 since the one that came on the box, I think will be weird get two updates that fast, but I hope it comes soon

It's not ok for me. Not rooted, locked bootloader but when it restarts in recovery it give to me software failed error
I'm really hating Oreo (beta) in Honor 9 because performances are poor and battery too.

Did you do it like explained? Either in Huawei HiSuite or the Phone Manager (App) - No hacks or inofficial ways..

Hello dying_sun, i have the same problem.
Honor 9, STF L09 (Europe), now with OREO B360
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.1.1
- rooted with SuperSU
--> after some days I unrooted my device and locked my bootloader
(I use multitool for TWRP and stock recovery)
After unrooting OREO ota came and a realised that the capacitive buttons are not working. Tried different settings, only the home button works
What to do?
--> Rollback to B120.
I downloaded firmwares from different sites and tried different methods
3-button update: Installing failed
dload method sd card: Installing failed (NTFS format, 32 GB)
dload method internal memory: Installing failed
*#*#284...#*#* method, upgrade from sdcard: Installing failed
I tried to flash a kernel.....img (here in forum "Capacity fix" topic) but when I install it over TWRP the device asks me in which flash memory should it be flashed and I do not know what to choose. (system, ODM, splash2, recovery_ramdisk, cache)
I also tried the HWOTA method, but I get the message, that "recovery2" could not be written into ramdisk or something like that and then it stops.
Possible that I did not consider a little detail
Could you please tell me which firmware from firmware finder did you use and which method you choose to make rollback?
Slowly I get desperated with the phone.....
Thanks a lot in advance

First : Are you on nougat or oreo now, and what's your region ?
your phone is booting ok in system, but no capacitives buttons ? So you'll like to fix them before updating ?
When on nougat, for flashing the dload way a service repair nougat firmware, I think you must have formatted your SDcard to exFAT and not ntfs.
I think when using service repair dload files, you must use the same region files the phone is actually.
For info :
3-button update,
dload method,
& *#*#284...#*#* method,
Are all the same.
You also tried the HWOTA method, but which hwota files did you used ?

Hello oslo83,
The phones Emui is now Emui 8.0.0, B360.
I have an unlocked bootloader, booting is ok (message about unlocked bootloader comes first)
Capacitive buttons and flash light are not working --> I would like to fix them (this is the reason why I try to rollback to B120.
I tried to format to FAT 32, but not possible to copy update.app, because of size. With NTFS it worked. --> I try format to exFat
I downloaded a full-service-repair-package for europe from the site 4pda.ru.
Should I use Firmware finder?
What do you mean with "which HWOTA fileS? --> update.zip / update_full_data.zit and a third one..... comlete package, as described.
Thank you in advance.

Maybe to late to use dload as i don't think flashing dload nougat over oreo will work.
And the only public dload service repair firmware available seems to be only nougat.
And downgrading is maybe not usefull as it seems there is a simple fix for you now by flashing kernel...

No, not in your case.
I think FF won't help for downgrading.
And again, i think you don't need anymore.

No, I meant where did you get your hwota8.rar from ?
Where you using the new one for oreo or the old one for nougat ?
So for you the better will be to flash kernel fix : https://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=75772700
Help yourself, follow the instructions and don't try to install it over TWRP as you did before.

Where you using the new one for oreo or the old one for nougat ?
I think that I used one for Nougat...... :-/
There is nowhere a note where to flash this kernel to? --> boot?, recovery_ramdisk? Splash? system? cache?
Do you perhaps know which flash directory should I use?

Help finding a Stock ROM for the P8 MAX DVL-703

I tried flashing with the dload method all these roms, only the first one "worked" but there are files outside the UPDATE.APP and the flash was super quick, then the phone didn't boot or anything so it never really worked..
The only rom that didn't give an error and started flashing has these files and UPDATE.APP is only 62mb...:

If you were on Android 6 previously, then flash TWRP and install an official Android 6 firmware with TWRP. After that do a factory reset.

Thanks for your reply!! Yes I was on android 6, installed TWRP and tried all the 6.0 roms I could find without success...
One of them, Aroma ROM, starts ok but then gets frozen and doesn't move, I left the phone for an hour and it didn't install anything:
The other roms just fail before starting..
Any ideas? I'm starting to think the phone won't work again

You need TWRP V3+.
You can also install the ones for Huawei Mate S but try with v3.1.1-0.
Don't forget to flash a FULL-OTA package because you're flashing OTA's. Also this old version of TWRP works only on Android 5 firmware.
Another method is to extract the STOCK RECOVERY partition with Huawei Update Extractor, flash it in fastboot, then install the UPDATE.APP with dload method, but it might give you the incompatibility message because of the CUST difference.

My Hauwei P8 max is bricked as well, tried all the ones you have. Could I have a look at the site you have(Russian) as my Hauwei uses emui to upload. Bought it for $30 on ebay as is(bricked)

Sorry I didn't keep the phone or the ROM files... Phone would freeze it's memory every 3 months and I had to reflash to keep it running. I have had 3 different phones after that one so I didn't think to keep the roms

I have one more firmware but not dload. Its still p8 bht not max, do not know if it good for anything Having a bit of ----uploading it!

then your only option is to removing all the partitions and use testpoint to restore the partitions

it is not worth it to do this just savage the parts of it and get a refurbished huawei p10 lite phone those phones have a lot of rom support

All the firmware 730l that i use goes to emui only 5% then goes back to logo.
I think that TWRP he put on might interfere with it?

yeah, me too , i cant get, i write in live chat but they send a link dont work.

FYI: If you're getting an update error, please note that the NE-L21_EMUI8.rar package contains a .zip file named update_data_pubblic.zip. There is a typo in there; rename it to update_data_public.zip (just one 'p').
Besides that, the update works great.

Does anyone of you knows how to downgrade from oreo to nougat?

I don't think you can. Oreo makes a lot of changes, like changing partitions, etc. Why do you want to downgrade? Install GSI or LineageOS 15.1. You have tons of options.

The pre-Oreo TWRP image will not work on Oreo. Did you follow the instructions as described (which will also overwrite your current TWRP recovery)?
1. Extract the NE-L21_EMUI8.rar package
2. Rename update_data_pubblic.zip to update_data_public.zip ('pp' to 'p', that was a typo by the uploader)
3 Extract the HWOTA_RNE-ENG.zip package
4. Move update.zip, update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip from the previous package to HWOTA/update
5. Run the script in HWOTA/ while having the phone in bootloader mode (fastboot)

I already did this.. I'm already running an oreo firmware.. That's why i can't use HWOTA again because Partition recovery on oreo is different . That's why it can't install the TWRP recovery . Partition length get error. Are there any option? Can i flash a full OTA of Nougat in my device that's already running an Oreo?

Hi KingOfMezi,
Do you have any idea how to flash erecovery in oreo?. I tried extracting ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img from UPDATE.APP and Install it using your TWRP, then select eRecovery. It still doesn't solve my problem.
Or Can anyone backup eRecovery using KingOfMezi TWRP and send it to me. So i'll just restore it and hopefully fix my problem. Help will be so much appreciated.

$ fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img
Please note that the recovery image must be adjusted for Oreo, since install/wipe will not work with pre-Oreo recoveries.
