Please help me im desperate (p9 unrooting) - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hey all.
I am trying to unroot and re lock my bootloader so my phone is back to its normal state
I have wiped all data on twrp and re flashed with 136.
That isn't the issue,
Whenever I go to change the theme it doesnt let me, the stock icons are big and ugly and werent the stock ones I had before.
Does anybody have a guide on how I can remove all traces of this root because its not letting me get rid of these ugly icons.

Reflash from externe SD card ?

I think that what he said is this:
- Create a dload folder on sd card root
- Copy update.app (from 136) to dload folder on sd card
- Force an reflash: power off, then vol up+vol down+power
- After flashing, go to huawei updater and update to the last official version for your phone
This is what I've done with mine. And ended with bootloader locked and everything as factory again.
Hope it helps, but if you search the forum you will find a lot of info about this procedure.

If u wipe data and flash u need to include the hw folder to with the firmware in dload folder when u flash to get rid of the ugly icons and get Themes to work.

You have to flash stock recovery via fastboot before this method of complete reflashing firmware. Otherwise flashing process may fail and end up on eRecovery screen.

I made the same mistake on my zenfone 6. Unfortunately it is not possible to update the phone via SD card (external) you have to put the update file in the root of the internal memory and then update it. Currently you should be on a screen which says at the bottom that update failed and at the top there should be 3 or 4 options I believe, one option says to restart update another should say reboot phone another should say something about ADB and the last one should say wipe cache. You have to use the vol + and vol - buttons to navigate and the power button to select reboot phone. Your phone should restart and say update failed. if you are not at that screen then switch your phone off and while switching it on hold the vol+ and power button together to go into recovery mode. Once you are in recovery mode you may have to flash the update via ADB. There a few guides on the internet which can help you with that. Heres a link for one of them.

Stuck in bootloop

I got a free P9 from a family friend so i decided to tinker around with it.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader flashed twrp and installed SU on it but then I wanted to try the unofficial CM rom on it. But I wasn't getting any signal with it so then i tried to go back into stock firmware which was posted on xda (at the time i didn't know i had the wrong model). After that Playstore wasn't working so tried using another stock firmware that was on xda but then i found the right model that i had (VIE-AL10C00176) but now it's stuck in a boot loop. It would boot up (doesn't show that i have an unlocked bootloader anymore) and then it would restart. Occasionally it boots up into erecovery. I've tried downloading "latest firmware and recovery" from this but it's still stuck in a boot loop. Any idea how I might fix this? (lack of hindsight cause i've done this a lot on other phones but i didn't prep a back up). I'm pretty sure I left USB debugging on before all of this I have yet to test if i can reflash twrp and try flashing another rom to see if this fixes anything (any thoughts?). Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Hello. I would try this way:
1. download a complete dload version from http://www.huaweifirm.com/firmware/p9-plus-vie-l09/
2. unzip it, inside there is a dload folder..
3. format a micro SD card and copy the dload folder on it
4. shutdown the phone. If it does not shut down don't worry.. go to next step
5. insert the micro SD card
6. keep pressed all three buttons (volume+, volume- and power) until it starts flashing
Let me know if it works..

I cannot upgrade any further

Hello,
I tried for a few days to upgrade my huawei to build B586 but I haven't been succesful. I unlocked my boot and tryied to upgrade trough brick method(but switching the img files to the b586 ones with huawei extractor). I have no option to update from local and the vol+,- and power buttons do not work. I get stuck at boot screen.
My curent build is B574. Do you have any sugestions how I can upgrade? or downgrade than upgrade? The update to 6.0 was done via update from local option,which i don;t have anymore.
Thank you in advance.
It works with me in similar situation, not sure if it work with you!
Downgrade B574> B300
and then...
Upgrade B300> B586 or B588
Hmmm... I had a similar problem. Coming from the RRevolution Custom Rom, when i tried flashing stock again i couldn't. The Power+Vol.Buttons method would give me bootloop. Even though the phone was booting, i followed the unbricking guide, flashing boot,recovery,system and cust (search it up, it's in the forums). After flashing everything and rebooting my phone, it went straight into the upgrade method (the one you get with the Power+Vol) and installed B586 just fine. No problems since and i am now using the B588, so it might work just the same with that one too. Hope this helps

Did you tried put B300 on the dload folder and then press 3 buttons?
From what I understood, you can't use the 3 button method, right? The phone will just boot... Try pressing all three and when you see the boot logo just release the power button and keep holding the other two. I've seen people getting over such problems by doing this. It probably sounds stupid but i would give it a shot... Also, try putting the upgrade.app file both on internal and external sd!

eRecovery is achived by volume up+power buttons right? When I do that It enters in update and says update failed
EDIT: removed the dload folder and succesfully wiped my phone, I will try to upgrade now(fingercrossed)
EDIT 2: I succesfully upgraded to b586. When I pressed the 3 buttons I got stuck at the same boot screen. When I pressed only volume up+ power button it workd.
So if any1 will have the same issue he should defenetly try this out. Big thanks for everyone who responded in this threat :good:

Full Return to Original Guide

Hello guys. I have a will to root my phone or maybe try one or two ROMs. However I am a guy that always wants to turn back the phone to it's original state. Can anyone of you provide me something like guide to returning to Original state?

You need to remember the firmware version you want to go back to (like EVA-L09CxxxBxxx) and install the OTA by copying it on the dload folder on your SD card and powering on with Vol+ and Vol- pressed. You can find the files in this forum. This method works even if you have a custom rom installed or your device does not boot at all.
Some OTAs even lock your bootloader again.

Need help to flash stock rom on P SMART 2019

Hi everyone,
I need to flash stock rom on a huawei P SMART 2019
Unfortunately I followed all steps on this link : https://firmwarefile.com/huawei-p-smart-2019-pot-lx1
I installed all drivers, software but when I put in donwload mode, it shows ADB interface ready but not downloading on the phone or sometime I get a fastbook status failed
If anyone had a little trick with this
Thank you.
If you’re still looking for a solution, I reverted a Huawei P Smart 2019 (POT-LX1 but may also be known as POT-L21) back to 9.1 stock ROM by:
1. Downloading the firmware from here: https://androidhost.ru/search.html
2. Putting the 3 zip files from the firmware in a dload directory on a clean SD card then putting it in the phone (please note that some documentation instruct you to put UPDATE.APP in the dload directory. This didn’t work for me.)
3. Powering on the phone while holding both the volume buttons down
The phone would reboot in EMUI recovery, check the presence of the firmware on the SD card, and install it if correct.
Hi
Unfortunately I can't test anymore since I don't have the demo unit with me but thank you

i tried factory reset again and this doesnt work..
can u please give me the name or the link for the fitmware files that worked for u?
thanks

thanks, but does not work for me.. update files from sd not verified from phone.. no update with these files possible..
i tried some other files and find some which updates perfectly..but almost the same.. phone says:
"Your Device has failed verification and may not work properly"
maybe it is bricked for ever...
I hope you'll find a solution. I can't help you any further as I've spent way too much time on that ****ty phone (stay away from Huawei/Honor/Oppo in the future).
