More specifically... Is it possible to downgrade from Official Pie back to Official Oreo?
There is no fault with the Pie OS itself. It's all about various preferences that are no longer available with Pie, as I do not wish to root at this time. Pandora lockscreen controls, the use of Substratum, expanded volume controls, to name a few.

Yea, that didn't work. Someone else mentioned a rollback ROM that could be used, but I am having issues finding it. I'll keep searching, unless someone else has done this already and is willing to chime in on what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
I had problem using the rollback package... Device had been encrypted and no PIN accepted. So i had to do a clean install.
If thats ok for you just follow the steps here and you are back on OOS 5.1.5

That's exactly what I did... Flash the full ROM, flash TWRP, reboot recovery, flash magisk. Disable lock screen before you do anything.

It's a security patch/encryption issue. I believe you have to format (not just wipe) data. Then you should be able to install the stock rom.
Note that everything on your phone will be wiped by this, so make sure you're backed up externally.
Thank you all for the replies so far. To clarify, I'm on stock Pie and want to roll back to stock Oreo.
Full wipe, etc. is perfectly fine by me, as long as it's possible.

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?

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
Anyone have a link for an decrpted boot image for the new ota update.? also can somebody merge all the different ways and do and don'ts for this build to be able to unlock (have the code) and flash TWRP and root this device. so many different solutions confusing on the best method to use.

to update thru OTA u must reflash stock Recovery,then after updated to the latest firmware BL will be lock and your root will be gone,so u need to unlock BL and flash TWRP and redo all the rooting steps again.
Is there a op that tells how to do that and can i extract a copy of the stock recovery sorry to ask such obvious questions but im trying to learn how to do all this. Thanks again

Then I don't know.
Try reinstalling them?
Or do you mean notifications on lockscreen? Because they won't show.
Huawei locked it down good. (at least for me, can't even get Spotify to show current song)
Floatify works great for lockscreen notifications though.
Edit: Actually, more people seem to have notification bugs with Messenger and WhatsApp. Maybe it's just a Huawei thing?
Or did they work before rooting?
Could you also check that they're not being closed automatically by the super aggressive battery saver thingie?
Settings - Battery: check that Power Saving is not turned on.
Next click on the cogwheel in the battery screen and make sure "Close excessively power-intensive apps" is not turned on.
And check in Settings - Apps - [App you want to check] - Battery that "Close after screen locked" is not turned on.

Hmm, so I'm going to try and bring root to these devices but first I need current stock firmware. So the issue I've run into, and this is the first time I've come across something like this... is that there doesn't seem to be any stock fw downloads available online. There are some extremely sketchy websites that try to get you to pay for low_ship firmwares but I don't like that.
How do we get current stock downloads for our devices if nothing has been released? I need SM-J727R4 J727R4TYU1AQD4 stock firmware for Galaxy J7 US Cellular...
EDIT:
Managed to get this phone rooted and everything was working great. Flashfire may have borked my System partition when I was doing backups, don't know how. But now I'm bricked until I can get firmware. Sent an email to Samsung, we'll see what they say.
Do you if the phone it comes unlocked ? Im interested in getting one
Sorry, Im on US Cellular but Im not sure that it is. I dont even know how to find out.
By the way, the firmware thankfully has been released. You can find it at SAMMOBILE and samsung-firmware.
Hi. Please, if root will be done - will it also work on European languages? Well thank you.
What is your exact model number, is it SM-J727R4?

There isn't an official TWRP release for this phone, but the SMJ727P is an exact match to the SMJ727R4 in hardware. Use the TWRP for that device, wipe your data partition to remove encryption, then without rebooting flash the Magisk 14 zip for root. SuperSU works but has some problems. You will lose all your data but this is what I did and it works well.
Now that goes without saying, if things go wrong I'm not responsible.
Please help. Everything is like me, but after the SuperSU v.2.79-SR3 is introduced and the following restart is still running: Verification failed. Well thank you.
Prize. J727R4 works on the Slovak and on the network. I want to share my experience.
1. Start uninstall without restart, all 5 items (Odin3_v3.12.10) Build number: NRD90M. J727R4TYU1AQJ3. After the restart process, we select a flashlight.
2. Release the rest without restart, insert twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-j727p_17517. After we start without restart, we select the flashlight.
3.Downloads without reboot. insert J727P-SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_rooted_boot_AQB9. after we pick the flashlight.
4. Trojhmat home, power, + set wipe-Gawlik.chase.data and select restart system in the menu. After the ratcheting and learning is the phone root and unlock.

I rooted my phone last week because I wanted to use substratum to theme my notifications. Since then, I've run into a bunch of frustrating problems.
Current Model: OnePlus 7 Pro 12GB version, build xXx_NoLimits_7.7 on OOS 9.5.11-GM21AB
Problems:
Phone used to be 9.5.11-GM21AA but now it's 9.5.11-GM21AB - does this affect anything?
Substratum hasn't worked in stock+root, and 2 different ROMs I've tried
Favourite app of mine doesn't work properly and I think it's because I'm on build 9.5.11 and not 9.5.10
How I messed it up: Started by rooting and trying to install Renovate ICE Rom, installed the wrong file which converted me to 9.5.5-GM21AB. Then I updated to 9.5.11 but it remained AB. I tried several times to unroot, roll back and get to 9.5.10AA but it always kept itself at 9.5.11AB. Sometimes my wifi would break. I currently have xXx NoLimits Rom installed.
Desired outcome: I want to unroot and roll back to 9.5.10-GM21AA stock
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
MSM tool should fix it.

Thanks, that was super easy. MSM automatically rolled back my phone to 9.5.3.GM21AA.
I have one more question - if I want to update it to 9.5.10GM21AA, how would I do that? If I update through the system, it will take me to 9.5.11, which I do not want. If the process is easier if I'm rooted, I already did that. To top it off, my substratum is working now after I reset my phone to how it is now. All I need is to update it to 9.5.10 and I would be sooooooo happy .
Thanks in advance!

Just download the full zip for 9510 and update via system update

Thanks for your reply! I thought as much. Can you clarify if these steps are right?
Go to https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=294300
Download the one I want (9.5.10AA)
Move the file to my phone's internal storage
Update via Local Upgrade
Is this correct? Will I still have root after I do this?

Correct
You will unrooted after the upgrade as itll flash completely stock.
Just re-roof after it and your good to go!
Hey @virtyx I copied the exact zip file I downloaded into my root directory for Local Upgrade but it wasn't recognized. I then tried to just flash the zip through TWRP but it said it was an "Invalid zip file format".
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

I got 9.5.9 from the OP forums and it worked! Everything is exactly how I want it now. Thanks for your help!

For my purposes, 9.5.9 and 9.5.10 are good. 9.5.11 reverted something with the brightness and so I don't want to use it.
I found a zip from the OP site for 9.5.9 so I was able to update to that one and since I got root/substratum to work without issue, I'm happy to stay at this build. In my eyes, my phone is absolutely perfect now and I am extremely happy. The only thing I would change is the size but that has nothing to do with the software/OS. Thanks for everybody's help!

I don't blame you, 9511 isn't as smooth as 9510.
also noticed 9510 had better battery life.
I might roll back myself
Hello,
I apologize in advance because i'm not a native english speaker and i'm also not tech savvy at all so it will probably be painful to help me.
My OnePlus 6 hard-bricked today and I had to do the MsmDownloadtool thing in this thread because my phone wouldn't work again. Screen was black, even when plugged the LED wouldn't light on and my PC was identifying my phone as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
So I did everything to get it back on, it worked and now I'm stuck with android 8 and OOS 5.1.5. I'd like to be able to update both android and OxygenOS automatically and not manually (which I wasn't able to do even though I followed the upgrade to latest Oxygen OS by using full signed zip thread). If someone could help me or point me to a tutorial I can follow or something It will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

So I does not find updates when you tell it to update? I do not have much experience with msmdownload, but I had good experiences with flashable zips of official roms.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244
Read the instructions carefully. I would recommend to start with your current 5.1.5 and let it update itself. You should not try to skip versions.
Edit: On second thought, maybe you could get away with getting a OOS 9.0.0 upgrade package and install it through updater up? This will definitely save you some time, but I am not sure it is the safest approach.

It does find the update that I manually put on the root of the phone, but when I launch it it tells me the update has failed.
I'd love if it updated itself but it doesn't for some reason. When it checks for update I only see the current version.
I hope I didn't mess up the unbrick :/
I Guess you should flash 9.0.9 before turn on A10.

Ok I will try this. Thanks.
Edit: Just to be clear, flashing an OS means you put the zip files in the root and manually update for the phone, right ?

Maybe this version is so old they do not expect people to be upgrading form that.
That link that I sent you. Go there,get an incremental upgrade package from 5.1.5 to 5.1.11 and install it with the updater app
Here is a link to that package
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903980707
Then get this android 9 upgrade package (or find it yourself) and flash that through the updater app.
http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amaz...2_OTA_005_all_1808301533_d0d4304454bf4157.zip
It should update automatically after that.
I would not recommend skipping android versions. It may be fine, but it might cause problems

Thanks again and have a good day.
