Hi there,
I'm using a Huawei P9+ Vie-L29.
I was tempted to Root it and enjoy a new Rom, I only found RayGlobe ROM which gave access to some settings but was not maintained and were no other custom ROMS, so I went back to Stock and locked bootloader again.
After coming back to stock, the huawei Theme Manager says that is applying the theme but in reality it does not change anything.
I already did a full re flash of the VIE-L29C636B170 software, with no success.
Also tried a full phone reset with no success.
I have seen a forum from Mate 8 with EMUI4.1 with a similar problem and a solution that requires Root, but, since Im in stock now it does not apply for me any more.
Do you have any hint or suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, faced similar issue previously. You'll need to root your rom and copy some theme files to the system folder. Then your themes will work. It's like the default theme folders are not there in the system. After that, if you want to unroot, use SuperSU's unroot feature. Let me see if I can find the reference and the file links I found last time later to post it up.
@juanmre, following is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/solve-apply-themes-downloaded-t3318265
I think it is the same link you mentioned.
And yes, unfortunately you will need to root again to solve this theme issue. Then unroot after that.

is there a way to flash that folder without Root or without unlocking the bootloader? I really would like to avoid all that hazzle again.
If not, I will try to do it some time in the weekend.

Interesting, mostar088.
I would like to try this again when I have time.
Can you advice which specific files to download for VIE-L29C636B170?
For example, I see that there are two links mentioning "hw/default". Do I download all the files with "hw/***"?
Thanks.

After rolling back from Android N beta version (which was draining my battery very fast), I faced the same problem with the themes.
So I gave this solution a try again and finally noticed that the "hw" folder is still within another "hw" folder, after fixing it, only one "hw" folder together with the "UPDATE.APP" file, everything worked and I'm able to change themes again. (by the way, it did make a fresh install again, so backup before if you want to try).

I used a test keys version to rollback from nougat beta, from that version you should be able to flash the last marshmallow firmware and then upgrade to nougat. This is going to erase your data. Hope this can help you.

If you use firmware finder, you will find a rollback package (just read the changelog).I.e. mine was NEM-L51C432B130 with date 2017.04.14.
You need to set your model code, because FF won't recognise the test key.
What I did was to install a small update to a Russian test key version (on 4pda it is said that won't work on Chinese version), than I flashed B130 (the last before nougat beta).

It should work. If you can't download it or have troubles there's a post in this forum with firmwares. The only way that worked for me was to download the firmware (I can't remember if from FF or somewhere else) and flash it over test key firmware using dload method.
Update.zip should be enough, but I used both.

If I remember right, only update.zip has the update.app while the other one has things like preinstalled apps...make dload folder on the root of the sd, then put the files of the two zip into dload, you should now have update.app and a bunch of other things in dload. The only must is update.app

You didn't have a recovery ? Do you mean you had stock recovery ? Because it's perfectly fine to have stock recovery to flash official firmware. Something you can try (always using dload) :
1) download http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http://d...d=94264&version=377923&siteCode=ru&e=58206831 and flash it, then download and flash B130...after this you can upgrade to B150 (this is the way I used)
2) Maybe you're able to directly download and flash B150, but I don't think this is going to work
3) try flashing the stock firmware that came with your phone when it came out, for example B102 (but I doubt it will let you downgrade this way)
Make sure you're downloading the correct version for your device and make sure the download doesn't fail and check the downloaded archives.
In case you've messed up with the stock recovery there are many guides on how to restore it.

Probably because you've installed the L21 and the the one I linked is for L51. I can't help you any further now. I will search and if I find something similar, I'm going to let you know. The only things I can say to you at the moment is to search more information as possible using Google, xda and 4pda (this last has a lot more consideration and active community for our device, but it is in Russian and maybe you are going to need a translator, for example the chrome integrated one)
This could help : https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=761127&st=3000#entry58206831 but the italian translation of this is not very understandable to me.

In the link I posted scroll to the first post and it show the method I already suggested to you (official) and two alternatives. As I told you before I can't fully understand the alternatives because of translation. From what I could understand, those methods are in case the official fail (like yours) it seems to suggest to unlock the bootloader, install twrp and then flash a nougat firmware using twrp (maybe a modified version of the firmware). This will probably void your warranty and I'm not sure if what I am understanding is correct, but it is the best I found so far. I hope in your language the translation is better.
Hey everyone, the firmware I'm looking for (PRA-LX1C432B100) is not available anymore on the internet, I can't find the update.zip of this version and my phone is now stuck in bootloop.
What should I do, I asked the Huawei technical support but they can't give me the file.
Can someone help me?
You can try PRA-LX1C432B110 it's latest official http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/ff_view_firmware.php?find_model=pra-lx1c432

Hi everyone !
I just wanted to check on HFF if there were new updates available, but nothing came up. I mean, not even the ones I already installed ; the firmware list is empty.
I tried reinstalling the app, but the result is the same.
What the hell ? How are we supposed to find official firmwares now ? Is this a bug or something ? I read something about Huawei not sharing their firmwares anymore a while ago, but I'm pretty sure the article also said Honor wasn't concerned.
yeah wont work for me either
Doesn't work for me either, currently on L51C432b350
Nothing shows for me too
Maybe it has something to do with this: https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/09/huawei-removes-emui-rom-image-downloads-site.html
Here you go
http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=NEM-l51c432b&firmware_page=0
Select fullOTA-MF and flash via dload method.
Good luck

I want to know, because I want to provide this guide also for fixing problems like you have ... or had.
Use dload forced method with first before using scripts.
Just download the correct firmware for your device, if you know the firmware-version you had, use the exact one, because it was approved for installation:
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model
Extract the the update.zip and put the update.app into a folder called dload on your sdcard.
Start you phone while holding all 3 buttons, this will launch th dload process.
This way you maybe safe some time.

Is there a way to retrieve the exact name of the installed stock firmware? For my VTR-L09C432 there are multiple versions listed (like 360, 365, etc). Also I am wondering what's the difference between FullOTA-MF / OTA-MF / FullOTA-MF-PF, etc.

No, you can´t check your version, but if you choose an older firmware, you should be fine. Afterwards you can update to a newer version.
The only problem might be, if you already had oreo installed, then you should use it again for restore, because the partitionlayout changed from nougat to oreo.
All version named B1XX are Nougatfirmwares
All version named B3XX are Oreofirmwares.
Choose a FULLOTA for updates, the others are just incremental and won´t help you in your case.
To be exact you should use a FullOTA-MF-PV. The PV stands for public version and all other firmwares are just internal builds from huawei.

If you don't want to go back to stock firmware, you also have the option of custom roms such as Lineage OS or one of the others in this forum.
If you go with stock firmware, I suggest you make a Nandroid back-up before you flash TWRP. You can easily do this by booting into twrp instead of flashing (eg: fastboot boot twrp.img). After creating and copying the back-up to your PC, you can proceed with flashing twrp and never have to worry about the softbricking again =).
