So... In my quest to rebrand my Optus Australia (L09C34) to the global Asia (L09C636) version I backed up my oeminfo and custom.bin using the SRK Tool and using that tool I changed the oeminfo and custom.bin to C636, however what I didnt noticed till after I flashed the C636 oeminfo was it was infact for a L19C636, since it was too late and I was thinking that the only difference was dual sim and NFC, it should still boot up and work without any issue and after rebooting it and did a factory reset, it worked fine minus NFC.
So for me to return everything back to normal, I used the SRK Tool to restore the L09C34 oeminfo and custom.bin that I backed up earlier and this is where everything went sour. I rebooted the phone like you are suppose to but instead of booting into the system, it tried but then force closes and then reboots and then it goes straight to TWRP recovery. I tried rebooting a few times and it just keeps force closing and then going back into TWRP. So I think the oeminfo and custom.bin is screwed and because of this, the system does not know what it is exactly.
So what I have tried is wiped cache and do a factory reset but I got nothing but red errors, cant remember exactly what it said but along the line of unable to mount data. I have also tried to do a recovery via Fastboot and connecting the phone to the computer and runing HiSuite but because HiSuite have no idea what model it is, it just fails to locate a recovery image.
Now I am thinking of doing 2 things but not too sure what I should try first since I dont want it to get any worse than it is. I was thinking of flashing the oeminfo from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818. It has a flashable oeminfo on it and also flash the EVA-L09B136 that goes with it. My other option is to try and flash NewWorld 7 directly from TWRP and hope that fixes it. I am worried about flashing the stock recovery in case there is no way of going back to TWRP.
So I am asking for some advice from you guys, maybe someone who was able to get past this problem with the oeminfo and custom.bin issue. I count myself lucky that Fastboot still works and I got TWRP that is also functioning correctly. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this and get the P9 working again is much appreciated.
Hi Z-Blade.
Come from the same stock Optus phone but been trying to get mine to C432. Soft bricked about 5 times. Got into very similar to position to you when I tried to TWRP flash a C432 rom that promised to give me stock B182. Got to the horror the red errors and screens that take me nowhere useful. Think I switched off and it found a system to boot into to. Your situation is probably different. What I will say about Paul O"Brien's oeminfo files and B136 is that it one of the few things that has consistently given me back a functioning phone and not done any harm. For what it is worth I think it might be the safest option. There are quite a few other things in the SRK tool but I lake the expertise to advise on that. Good luck. Bazzan

Hi,
I am on rooted P7-L10 C900 B852, for a long time, but recently my phone suddenly resets itself.
When it happens, I have a hard time to turn it on. I have to do it several times, and sometimes I end up with "Optimizing app x of y" message (that is message that is shown after upgrading rom).
After optimizing is completed, my all wireless passwords are cleared so I have to rejoin again.
I tried to do the factory reset from twrp, but with no success – everything is the same as before.
What are my options now?
Can I somehow check hardware (I believe that there are some codes that I can type in for that)?
Could I reinstall B852 again?
How to clear everything and start from very beginning?
Regards.
So now you are at B852 after a automatic reset?
What about restore a backup with twrp?
And what do you mean with twrp factory reset is not working? Is twrp not able to mount the data partition?
If you want to reinstall B852 you have 2 options:
Flash the stock recovery then update using the UPDATE.APP
Get the Huawei Update Extractor tool, extract the UPDATE.APP package and then using fastboot flash the system, boot, cust and cache partitions
I had a really hard time with the phone. Looks like my sd card has gone, so I ordered the new one.
I have downloaded update.app and I have flashed B830 recovery.
Is this anything I need in order to flash stock rom again?
I will use three button restart in order to activate flashing process.
Whatever I do, I want to put phone in factory state.
What is current twrp version that I have to flash in order to root the phone (supersu)?
Regards.

After flashing stock recovery, I used recovery to do factory reset. Than I have put update.app on sd card, and installed B852.
After installation has completed, I have installed twrp from the link above and flashed supersu.
By now, I am using the phone for few days with no problems at all. Even battery has more stamina.
Thanks guys. ðŸ‘

Hello Everyone,
I tried to revive my P8 Lite 2017 and it's impossible. I followed every guide I found but anything work for me.
I have access to bootloader also recovery.
erecovery not working, fail when try to download.
recovery not working factory reset stock at 99%
bootloader I can flash but maybe i didn't find the right firmware.
The version I had was PRA-LX140B105.
More information.
I deleted some picture so I tried to recover this photo so I used undeleter, diskdigger and these app said if you're rooted you have more change to find things.
I rooted the phone and when I used this apps, wanted to come back to factory so I flashed supposedly a stock rom from firmware finder huawei. I flashed boot, recovery and system. The first time I boot stuck on your device is booting now, after that i swith off my phone and tried recovery I do wipe cache also wipe data and factory reset then again 99%. I swith off again my phone start again the factory reset by itselft and then say completed, phone reboot and then i see the animation and stuck on huawei logo after that reboot by itselft and then open erecovery. Again I Turn off phone try to swith on and stuck on your device is booting now..
I don't know what more I can do.
I tried to put update.app inside dload folder in sd card but it fails
flash TWRP, restore this https://mega.nz/#!vspAXIZI!yHj-2n9DuGvb-ZdsemOgw4k3vQTMy7CJXIGFAhJlplo in TWRP, flash stock recovery, update to the newest firmware, do a factory reset and flash a recovery of your choice.
to get the backup to work, first create a random backup in TWRP then go to TWRP/BACKUPS/*random numbers* and put the downloaded backup there
How to root this big brick?! Damn huawei site not allows me to login! Need root bcs of few apps dmn **** nobody dont know and dont want to help me here???

Hi there!
I have a P9 (EVA-L09) on my desk, which is in an inconsistent state. Meaning, that it in original condition it was a C02 with German Vodafone branding. Then the owner flashed some Nougat beta (can't remember which one), wasn't happy with Nougat and wanted to go back to MM by using the official rollback package provided by Huawei. The dload update failed and then he tried to flash different versions stock roms (can't remember either), leaving it in a constant bootloop. So first thing i tried was flashing TWRP. It boots up, but the touchscreen is not working. I think this is because some of the partitions where destroyed (firmware e.g.). So I flashed the C432B182 recovery and tried to dload the C432B182 firmware. The update process stops at 5%, maybe because in the meantime the device was converted to a C900? So I tried to get some C02 firmwares. The oldest I could get was C02B339. dload started the update process and failed at nearly 100% with the "Software install failed" message - no additional information. Because I have only fastboot and no adb connection, I can't rebrand to C432 (only adb shell in twrp is running, but I can't access the internal memory from there - or can I?). So these are the hard facts and I don't see any way to get a working rom on the P9. So, is there anyone with another idea? Would be great. Thanks!
Ok, I got it working again. Here are my steps, just in case anyone gets in the same situation:
1. Flash Stock recovery through fastboot, extracted from C432B182
2. Boot to Stock recovery with Vol Up + Power, it should start
3. Wipe cache and try to factory reset - won't work
4. Put C432B182 UPDATE.APP in dload folder on SD card
5. Tried Vol Up + Down force flash, but it did'nt work, so I wanted to get back into recovery by starting with VOL Up, and voila - it started flashing the B182 from SD card, BUT says failed at 99%
6. After that, boot into recovery again and see that factory reset now works
7. After factory reset restart phone and enjoy your unbricked P9 on C900B182. From here you can change to C432 with the known manuals to get the latest updates
Hi everyone.
I have a VTR-L09C119 that got bricked after formatting the data partition in TWRP. When I try flashing a debranded FULL-OTA rom I get into a bootloop, and the erecovery won't work (Online recovery won't start, Factory Reset goes into bootloop). And I can't get into TWRP anymore even after flashing it.
I tried putting the VTR-L09C432, VTR-L29C432 and the VTR-L09C605 with the HUAWEI Multi Tool with the Unbrick option, which didn't work.
Any idea how to get out of that mess?
EDIT: Ok I was able to get into TWRP thanks to THIS GUIDE. I'll try a debrand and report back.
I was able to rebrand to VTR-L29C432, the update for VTR-L09C119 doesn't seem available so I don't think I'll be able to get back into my stock rom. For those in the same boat, don't forget to unplug your phone when you want to get into TWRP, that's why I wasn't able to get back into it.
I have bricked my phone after Magisk install fail.
I first unlocked bootloader succesfully
then i installed twrp succesfully
then i flashed magisk using twrp - this failed and sent device to erecovery. (which won't find package)
i used twrp to wipe data, now i was able to boot, and it installed like a fresh EMUI. However, almost all apps were broken- could not download themes/camera shut down etc.
To fix this, i wanted to restore to stock and did the following: download update package for my VTR-L09 of EMUI b175 (I was on b162 before), used Huawei Update Extractor to extract files and flashed BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG. This was done without error.
Now my phone won't boot at all. I am stuck at the 'your device can't be trusted' screen. I cannot go into recovery. When I connect via USB, I hear the chime in Windows but I can't seem to connect with ADB.
What to do now?? Am I hard-bricked? I hope that anyone knows how to deal with my phone bricked like this. Please help me to solve this issue.
Best of wishes.
Edit: I am able to enter forced recovery, however updates fail at 5%.
I am also able to fastboot with USB, however I am unsure what to do next.
I unbricked my phone! Many thanks to who ah way and his solution found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-unbricking-p10-using-hwota-windows-t3714416
