[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?).

If nothing fixes the issue, flash modem.img of your current firmware

Flash the vendor and over it flash the stock ROM.this may helps.

@PalakMi and @venugopalu007, I flashed the vendor file and then the stock rom, still no luck. When I try to flash modem.img, fastboot says remote action not allowed. How do I resolve it?

Unlocking is possible via paid services. DC unlocker is the cheapest.
You can not rebrand and then unlock but it has to be other way around.

Is TWRP out for the OP7 yet? Or is this AIO tool basically still a work in progress (not all functions operational yet)?
I don't see the OnePlus 7 posted on TWRP's official website. Or on xda for that matter. I can find a couple dodgy "how to root" guides for the OP7, but they just look like clickbait. One just links to the TWRP main page (instead of an actual file download specific to the OP7). Another actually contains links for the OP6! Not just deceptive, but can possibly cause folks problems!

Hi, this tool has all function ready for op7 and op7 pro ( i'm only waiting for the branded unlock bootloader procedure). Actually for what i know there is not a twrp available, but in all cases the tool allow you to flash a third part twrp.img and not only the twrps in the list (I can update the twrp list without updating the tool, so when a new working twrp will be released i will add it in the twrp list). The other functions, like reboots, bootloader unlock,or apk installer/uninstaller are perfectly working because they are a bit generic. For the root is the same problem, the tool use the twrp to root the device so without it you can't root the device with the tool. This tool is available for all others OnePlus devices and i'm official TWRP maintainer for Op6 and Op6T, so when a stock rom will be released i will start also to work on the TWRP and the others features.

anyone got the stock recovery for the Oneplus 7?

Thanks for the good work. However, the tool fails for me. I have an unlocked bootloader.
Version: 1.1.1.6

2. Skip MD5 check throws "unable to open zip file" error

How To Guide Switch from EEA to Global (or other region) without unlocking bootloader

Hello Community,
I wanted to make this post because there is some wrong information or insufficient information regarding that switching regions betweens roms requires you to unlock the bootloader.
I found a way it works, I updated from MIUI 12.5.2.0 EEA to 12.5.4.0 (then to 12.5.5.0 ota) Global Stable using XiaomiToolV2 (unofficial Tool).
These are the following Steps:
1. Download XiaomiToolV2
2. I did download the rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vayu/ (while the tool checks the files integrity, download with your own risk)
3. Enable Developer Options and then USB Debugging
4. Open XiomiToolV2 and select your device first, then follow the instructions and after that boot to recovery and select MiAssistant
5. In XiomiToolV2 select Local MIUI/Rom Option and add your file (Incase it doesnt allow you to add the file put the in file name and open)
6. It should verify the file now and pushes it on the device (this can take a while, be patient and dont restart the device on your own
After reaching 100% the phone should reboot automatically to the system
I hope it did work out for you

Hi @Areasu, when you switch regions using this method, does it wipe your data? I relock bootloader using std oem method after flashing rom of different region, data is always wiped.

My data wasnt wiped it installed like an update

Non-stop error.

So you do not need to unlock the bootloader? I understand that XiomiToolV2 is to be installed on the computer and the phone should be connected to the computer, right?

Yes, but in the tool the option Official Xiaomi Rom it tells me *Requirements: Unlocked Bootloader*. But when I use Local ZIP File method it works.
I see you had ghost touch issue, some people said it disappeared on 12.5.5.0

I still have this touch problem. Though it had been quiet for the past week

I understand that you have updated MIUI 12.5.2.0 EEA to 12.5.4.0 with xiaomitoolv2 and the update to 12.5.5.0 appeared on the phone just like that?

It may also be possible to download 12.5.4.0 Global to the phone and install via ota through the option select the update package

yes it does work

I was able to install rom Global 12.5.5.0 as you wrote, except that I had to do wipe data because the system would not start and it kept going back to recovery. Only after the wipe date did it work

Thank you so much for posting this, it was really fast and easy to understand. I really didn't want to be on EU but thought I'd have to unlock bootloader and wipe my data so I'm glad this worked. (^‿^)
Ps: I used the recovery rom not the fastboot rom maybe you should specify what you used.

Okay from what I understand fastboot might wipe your data so I just wanted to make sure people don't get the wrong one and lose all their data.

I think yes, recovery didnt wipe my data. Im not even sure if fastboot roms from other regions will allow flash. This guide is only for flashing recovery roms from different regions. (google says fastboot rom requires unlocked bootloader)

Hello Community,
I wanted to make this post because there is some wrong information or insufficient information regarding that switching regions betweens roms requires you to unlock the bootloader.
I found a way it works, I updated from MIUI 12.5.2.0 EEA to 12.5.4.0 (then to 12.5.5.0 ota) Global Stable using XiaomiToolV2 (unofficial Tool).
These are the following Steps:
1. Download XiaomiToolV2
2. I did download the rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vayu/ (while the tool checks the files integrity, download with your own risk)
3. Enable Developer Options and then USB Debugging
4. Open XiomiToolV2 and select your device first, then follow the instructions and after that boot to recovery and select MiAssistant
5. In XiomiToolV2 select Local MIUI/Rom Option and add your file (Incase it doesnt allow you to add the file put the in file name and open)
6. It should verify the file now and pushes it on the device (this can take a while, be patient and dont restart the device on your own
After reaching 100% the phone should reboot automatically to the system
I hope it did work out for you

I followed your instructions and changed from EEA to GLOBAL using the latest, RECOVERY, official ROM for my POCO X3 PRO.
Thank you!

Are Google apps and Playstore working properly?
Has anyone tried this method to switch from global to Indonesian rom?

Hi everyone! I am getting an ERROR in my Poco X3 Pro
I tried to do the same using XiaomiTool V20.7.28 (latest), from 12.5.4.0 EEA to 12.5.7.0 GLOBAL as the updater suggested. But for some reason I am getting this adb "sideload error status 1" like this image. My battery is 98%. Any ideas?
