Noob update help - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

I had a Vodafone UK branded P9 on EVA-L09C02B127
EMUI 4.1 Android 6.0
I've just downloaded and tried to update to EVA-L09C02B341
Which I think is EMUI 5 Android 7.0
but fails when installing, there's loads of different builds and I dunno what am doing wrong or which build I should be installing

I'm roughly in the same situation as you... Tried different methods of installation and nothing is working.

Just follow Z-Blade's excellent tutorial:

Worked PERFECTLY for me, just takes a little time and patience...

Download done. Will install later today and report back . One question though, is it really worth upgrading from B586 to this?
Is there any ui changes?
nope
Only security update, I can confirm that. Even changelog says that. If you care about Google security patches, then it's worth updating. If not - don't waste your time.

I searched about it, the content of the security is all marked as critical.
So because of it, ill update my rom.
Updating now. I've noticed that the update numbers go +2 in every new update (B586+2=B588). The next update will be EMUI 4.1? I've seen on the builds that 4.1 is B890+. Anyone know anything regarding this?

Well, Vodafone's EMUI 4.1 is marked as a B890, so... :d
Probably our non-branded will have a different number code, but in fact we don't know when it's gonna be released.

Taking into consideration that B586 came in December and B588 in January, i am confident that when (if) B890 comes, it will be in February. Although i tried EMUI 4.1 on one of those custom roms, it isn't something really special. Just one step closer to nougat i guess (if that comes to our phone too )
Don't delude yourself - official Nougat (EMUI 5.0) won't come.

I dont think B890 is really a P8 Lite rom. I belife that its a rom from another Huawei phone ported in P8 Lite, branded as Vodafone to make ppl belive its for P8 Lite.
Personaly I dont belive we gonna get 4.1 emui.
Why you think like that? B890 was officially released by Vodafone through OTA...
There are many custom roms based on EMUI 4.1 for the P8 Lite. Even if what you say @Azzureux is true, 4.1 can work with the phone and will most likely will. From what i've read we will not get EMUI 5.0 but we will get EMUI 4.1 that will make use of some "ported back features" from EMUI 5.0. I don't know what that exactly means, but i guess we are gonna have to wait and see.
Cannot install TWRP after thge update. Any help.? Only once I finally got to install TWRP and entered the recovery but after reboot, there was no custom recovery, only the stock one ....
Because it's stock Rom and it includes stock recovery, which is overwrited on the custom one.

This ROM is an experimental release for P9 lite/P9. And yes it is android N. https://www.getdroidtips.com/b210-nougat-firmware-on-huawei-p9-eva-l19-europe/

Little weird that it is Android N because why would we jump back from B383 to B210??

Yes of course it's weird to see B210 as a Nougat
Anyway check out the firmware details
Android 6
Security Patch 5. April
Emui 4.1.3
Is that enough?
Have some one install it and can say how is the battery?

True!
I got today after debranding this firmware c432b210 via OTA. It is Android 6 based with EMUI 4.1.3.
Do you know if there is a way to install Nougat from this firmware? or should I wait to a new OTA to get Android 7?
Should I install again via dload the c432b136 and start all over again using Huawei Updater 2.0?
Best regards
B210 should get ota to B386.
If OTA no pop up then you will need to manually update using the Huawei Updater 2.0 method as shown here (C432 users only!!!):

Update Android 8.0 (Oreo)

Hello,
Just one basic question, you know if Huawei P9 get Android 8.0 update ?
Thanks.
Nope. P8 doesn't get 7.0, so P9 will not get 8.0.
Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
The politic of Huawei for update can be changed for this year, no ?
But basic support is normally for two-year and p9 have just one year now and 1,5 years on first release Android O.
Sorry if my English is bad, I just learn by 3 months.

What is that for an **** answer? The P8 dont get Android 7, cause the CPU and GPU dont support the new required Vulkan Graphics etc. In Android 8 are no new technical requirements. So the Chance is very high to get Android Oreo
At least, Huawei had released the kernel sources so we can build oreo for ourselves!
By the time we get Android 8.0 the Huawei P12 is released...
Not holding my breath.... But if they screw me on it , regardless how well they worked so far I'm not buying another... So far I only bought flagships....
This is why everyone should blast them on Facebook/Twitter/Email with "Update P9 to Oreo!" so they don't left us without update!
I found video about Huawei phones which will get Oreo update, P9 included.
Hoax warning, I didn't find any source where the user got the information. No mentions in video's description nor in blog.

Fixed that for you.
OP, the answer is - never.
I still don't even have Nougat for my EVA-L29C636 and it doesn't look to likely so I think i can forget about Oreo
I think it will get Android O.

The P9 will get android 8.0. It has been confirmed on a number of sites like gadgetraid.com. It is a relatively new phone so it makes sense for it to recieve it.
I don't believe right now that we will get the 8.0.
P9 still in 7.0 and there are phones already on 7.1.2
P9 on Nougat? Nope. Not all p9's have received the update yet...
Not even all P9 cust/regions received updates to 7.0.
Goggle has released 7.1 a year ago, bit there is still no EMUI build with 7.1, only 7.0.
IMO, P9 will never receive 8.0, I'm not even sure if we would ever receive stock 7.1
It is quite common for OEM's to skip incremental builds like 7.1 - what they do is work the security patches etc into our 7.0 builds - so this is in no way an indicator of whether or not we will see 8.0.
At the moment several websites including some very reliable ones have published a large list of Huawei devices that are apparently getting 8.0 and the P9 is on that list, as are equally as old devices like the Honor 6X.
Today I read about this, (it has a link to the beta app that some of us used in the past) and the article states that the beta project has started, It's just a matter of few of us to find out If this is true (by Installing the app and checking avail projects) and which regions are eligible to the beta project (again IF this is all true).

Thanks for the link---just tried to install the Beta app on my P9 (eva-L29C636B191) but the install failed. This could (and probably is) be due to the fact that I am not on Nougat, however. Nougat just will not work on my device. I can install B361 but Nougat will not allow me to scroll anywhere on my device.

P9+Android6+EMUI 4.1+fRomFutureNewWorld V4 - upgrade to Android7/8

Hi guys
A year and the half or even better just after I purchased my P9 I unlocked bootloader, rooted and went for custom ROM (fRomFuture - NewWorld V4) the only one available and 100% working for P9 at that time as I remember. I got this system since then and I must admit it works pretty well surprisingly without any updates. However I just received work smartphone (Moto G5) which supports dual-sim and realize this is good moment for upgrade my P9. I just took read P9 7.x/8.x ROM's flashing installation descriptions and I feel dizzy....upgrading EMUI, changing partition type from FAT to encrypted ext4..... uff... I already flashed my P9 with custom ROM but back then it seems much much easy with Android 6.
First of all how could I check my firmware version ? With NewWorld ROM I don't see this kind of info.
Second - from what I read I need to update EMUI first from 4.1 to newest ,correct ? Do I need to know my firmware version for that or upgrade could be done (on already flashed system) via Huawei official software ?
I'd like to go for [ROM][8.1][OpenKirin's RROS Oreo v6.0.0 for instance. On Moto G5 I have to install 64bit TWRP and ARM64 Gapps as well - is this the same story with Huawei ?
Make this story short - what step should I take to upgrade my unlocked,rooted P9-EVA with Android 6,TWRP and NewWorld ROM to something newer like even Android 7.x but prefer 8.x because it seems to be working much faster than 7 on my Motorola.
Thanks for help and sorry for lame questions
Flash stock firmware using dload, update to the latest firmware then flash the custom rom you want.

Roll back EMUI 10 VOG-L29

Hi.
Im quite New, so might be a bit stupid.
Im trying to roll back the EMUI 10 beta. It has disappeared from My Beta App. When trying to do a factory reset it just starts up with EMUI 10/Android Q.
Have tried to flash it with a 9.1 version, actually with several versions, it always fails..
Any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.
Reason that a want to roll back is because i cant use Android Auto buildt into Android Q in Denmark, and cant install it from APK.
Kind regards
Morten
For me project also disappeared in BETA app... I wonder whether Huawei decided to go live and make that build official?
And I don't see any option to downgrade either

Connect to PC via Hisuite, you should have an option under system upgrade to downgrade to 9.1.
Talking to Huawei rep today, it looks like that they have already started the official rollout of v10, so that it probably the reason why that is not a beta anymore. I asked them because I wanted to know on why the new P30 Pro purple was sold with V10 when black version with V9. I was very curious to know if there was any hardware difference or just software.
