Stuck in a bootloop after manual OTA update from B170 to B190!

Dear P9P friends,
few days ago I decided it's time to update the firmware of my beloved P9P(L29C636) to B190 manually because my phone itself didn't give me an option to autoupdate via phone's UPDATE button in settings. I have been on B170 for ages so I thought it's time to give B190 a try. Downloaded the respective B190 OTA package from Huawei via FirmwareFinderByTeamMT, unpacked and copied the required file into phone's dload folder, restarted(with all 3 buttons pressed), flashing process completed without issues, restarted and since that time I was stuck in a bootloop. Nothing helped - was able to access Recovery mode - wiping cache/partition didnt help so tried to Wipe data/Factory reset but that failed at 5%. Tried to access Fastboot mode but that one did not worked. Tried several times but phone never went to Fastboot. I tried to switch the phone off too but again no luck. So rushed to the nearest Huawei Service Center, they took the phone and after 40 mins returned it to me with the fresh clean instal of B170, free of charge(very nice policy of local Huawei as I remember similar issue with Samsung and it took 2 days and I had to pay for it).
Anyway I tried to figure out what I did wrong and only think that came to my mind was that since i flashed OTA(and not full package) I first should have flash to B180 and only then to B190 rather than going direct to B190. Am I assuming that correctly? Anything else what I might have done incorrectly?
Cheers, brgds

If u want to update manually u must use full stock firmware, not OTA. U can jump to B190 from B170, no need to go to B180 since B190 includes changes in B180 with the full firmware. So to wrap it all up always use full stock firmware when upgrade manually!

Thanks a lot for the advice Mostar088 - I had no clue if I want to update manually I have to do it with full package. Will I lose all my data/settings while doing so?

P9 Bricked (Fastboot, force upgrade not working)

Hey guys so I have a problem.
Tried to upgrade to the Nougat EMUI 5 from EMUI 4.1 on my P9. It installed but it had no camera and no keyboard installed. So I tried to do a factory reset, I did but now I'm stuck in the set up wizard, and can't even complete it because no keyboard (google voice in its place) and if I try to skip step that need input and go to the end it just loops from the beginning.
Next step I took a stock rom of 4.1 and placed it in my external SD card in dload folder and tried to do a force upgrade but no help. It immediately shows 5% and it fails with no error just a red exclamation mark. So next I tried to use fastboot to flash it but get errors saying remote command not allowed (I have HiSuite installed, but the phone doesn't show when I run 'adb devices').
Factory reset fails, erecovery fails to download anything, can't system recover with hisuite as it fails. But when I try it, the fastboot screen on the phone say 'rescue mode entered' so it's being detected.
I'm at my wits end here on how to get it back. Screw latest android, just want to use the phone. Also does this break warranty? I didn't root it or anything but installing unsupported software could be considered warranty void?
Thank you for help in advance

I believe your warranty is still valid since you havent unlocked the bootloader. After upgrading to Nougat you should have downloaded the rollback package from huawei`s page, since you cannot simply go from Nougat back to Marshmallow ( you need to flash two files, first being "an intermediate package", and second one being marshmallow update.app file, both of which can be downloaded from huawei`s official site ). Try this and see if it helps

Thanks for the reply, now I know for the future.
In the mean time I fixed it with DC phoenix tool. Although now I have a problem as it set it to C900 so lock screen doesnt update, themes and icons dont work. All issues i can live but would like to fix them. All I know is that I have to unlocka the bootloader, install TWRP, install the version I want with hw and dt folders, and reboot. But everyone on forums speak like you know how to do it and can't find a good guide on how to do it.

You`re welcome. DC Phoenix is good, but you have to pay in order to use it, right ? That`s my problem, I cant pay since all my money comes from my dad . In your case I would probably try to update via huawei updater and HiSuite. As far as I`ve seen, that method has been most reliable for the majority of users.

I dont know how much research you have done or what you have tried exactly but it sounds like you have made matters worse. I was in your situation before but was able to get past the setup wizard without a keyboard, after this I got ADB working and just installed a keyboard APK.
C900 means you have a cross flashed rom, this can cause all sorts of different issues and I believe when it comes to updates, C900 either gets no updates at all or be the very last in line to get updates. Also, being on C900 could void your warranty.

DC Phoenix worked for me, I found myself in the same position as you (no dload, reocvery, e-recovery only fastboot) and thought my phone was unrecoverable for good. Tried every method possible. in the end bit the bullet paid the fee for DC Phoenix had my phone running in 20 minutes.
Hopefully some smart cookies can develop some freeware that works the same way.

I fixed it by using DC Phoenix to flash the B163 stock ROM but got the C900 firmware due to cross flashing. I fixed it by unlocking my bootloader, installing TWRP and rooting it. Then I just flashed the C432 OEMINFO, reboot and immidietaly got a notification that an available update is ready to be downloaded (B182). Downloaded it, installed no problem and now I'm on L09C432B182, which is what I wanted, minus all bloatware from my provider (Vodafone)
All done with SRK Tool (in the utilities menu it has for OEM fixing and even the themes not working by flashing the hw_init folders).
Overall, got it running and everything fixed

Awesome, good to hear. I highly recommend you upgrade to Nougat (but make sure your camera app and keyboard app is installed and working). You should be able to do this by using HiSuite and Updater 2.0.

In the same situation

First of all, get your bootloader unlock code. To get it google how to get it (I cant post link as I don't have enough posts to have privileges). If you can't on the English, make a new account on the chinese emui page and use google translate in chrome to navigate. (if the padlock button doesnt give you a form to fill out, clear your cache and cookies or open in incognito mode)
Once you have the code, find the "SRK Tool Huawei Bootloader/ROOT/Recovery/Backup/Utility" thread on XDA and download the latest stable build, should be around 700mb. Also in the thread, the guy posted a video on how to do it.
Step 1: Unlock bootloader
Step 2: install TWRP Recovery
Step 3: Root
These 3 steps are in the video.
Once you successfully rooted, open the tool again and in the Utilities menu (7) there is an option to flash OEMInfo. Select that and choose the OEM info you want. I needed C432. It will use the superuser app to flash it, reboot and you should be on it.
If you are asking how to use DC-Phoenix, again they have both written as well as a video with instructions on how to do it. You don't need an unlocked bootloader as it will use an exploit to circumvent it. Do Method 1, if it doesn't work, do Method 2.
Good luck mate

I got into this mess in the first place by flashing the B361 and my camera and keyboard didnt work after upgrading it. But now that i know how to fix it, I might give it a shot. Is there a thread with features and testing of the Nougat emui 5 for P9? I saw a lot of threads of people rolling back due to battery issues and other stuff. Don't want to update if its not the best.

Thanks

P9 eva-l19 (dual sim) and nougat update problems

I have tried several ways to install nougat to Huawei P9 dual sim, but it's almost impossible.
First i tried to install beta version, and it works ok but some apps are missing and keyboard is missing as well, it installs only google voice as a keyboard, so I restored it with Huawei rollback package.
Second, I tried debranding it so I can install some other version but I have similar issues. Here are my steps:
1. unlock bootloader
2. twrp recovery
3. root
4. change oem info and custom.bin, and this is where the problem starts.
After step number 4 the phone restarts and the letters during initial startup are red like system had been modified and after it goes to the part where it says "type password to decrypt storage". When I do that, it accepts the password (google) and says the phone storage is corrupted and I have to reset it, and then it resets the phone to default settings. After that I don't have root and no custom recovery. I tried this procedure several times and it's always the same. After the reset procedure, it installs some initial version (C900B136).
I finally gave up on that, and tried to get back to L19C432B161 but I have issues as well. First I had to restore my oem info and custom.bin so it accepts the C432 version, but after install some apps are gone and the theme manager is not working (it won't change icons or the wallpapers).
I tried using HiSuite to restore it back to stock but it won't accept the L19 version (only L09 and L29).
The tool I was using is SRK Tool Huawei 2.0, and I tried to follow procedure as described here on xda.
Any clues what I do wrong?

Well during this process I run into a bootloop and no recovery, so I unlock the bootloader, flash the stock recovery and then install stock firmware.
My phone is working now but it's not complete, some things are missing and not working properly so I am waiting some instructions what to do next. I really like Huawei phones but this firmware thing is a nightmare

Before you debrand, download the ROM of the cust you want to debrand to, place in dload folder on your sdcard. After step 4, your device will reset to factory, use sdcard ROM upload method and you will succesfully debrand your device. After that, if you debrand to L19C636B190 (for example), it will be OTA to L19C636B361.
My Al-10 was debranded and OTA successfully to L19C636B361 using this method.

Totally agree, once you are on nougat it really becomes hard to flash the firmware..till marshmallow, it was easier to control and flash the firmware..

Well this was the missing part
After i copied the L19C636B190 rom to dload folder on sd card it was successful.
Then I just connected it to HiSuite and it found the nougate update.

UPDATE: Somehow got the OTA when my dload update to B361 failed

Bootloop on pra_lx1 p8 lite 2017 oreo twrp and hurupdater issue

Hello everyone.
Last night i am tried to update my EMUI 5.0.2 Pra-lx1 p8 lite 2017 phone to the Oreo update 8.0.0.322 downloaded from Team TMs' huawei firmware finder.
My phone is allready "Bootloader unlocked" and "FRP unlocked" there is no problem. I can reach to TWRP( there is a huge problem i will explain it).
on the top of my way i got EMUI 5.0.2 and i unlocked the bootloader and FRP.
then i installed the EliteTWRP-3.2.1.
after this i downloaded
HuRUpdater 0_3.zip
and the 3 neccesery FullOTA-MV-OP files that includes the
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_PRA-L11_hw_eu.zip
then i do everything exatly on this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
and voilla!!! i got the Oreo update installed.
BUT....
i dont get the file manager app its lost!
i can not get themes or get in any of huawei apps sign in or get in!
so for this. my next step is goint to do reflash the oreo how i did it again.
BUT....
i can not do this because the instaled TWRP does NOT support OREO. Applause for this
so i'am tried 3 different TWRP that can be used on HUAWEI phones.
First one is this i dont know who is the developer but ists intercafe is chinese or korean.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rlQPRP234PoXY_yqup3oK_joOZGSIker/view
i tried to instal this over adb fastboot. BUT I can NOT. Because Oreo will do this on RAMDISK_RECOVERY!!!! WOOOWWWW
i did this and i reinstaled the oreo update like i did it first but in this new TWRP.
İt flashed my OREO but on the bootlogo the HUAWEI opening sound curropted before finished the sound and gets to restart.
after restart eRecovery opens and give me TWO funcional choises!!! Like Jig SAW
anyway...
the first option is DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION AND RECOVERY
BUT for my chanse!!!! or mean bad LUCK!!! eRecovery WiFi doesnt see the EDUROAMs ACCESS POINTS WELL RIGHT!!!!
so i passed the first one and we are on the MAGICAL point.
the second option is the WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
on this time i CAN NOT DO THIS BECAUSE THE ORGININAL RECOVERY PART IS GONE!!!! YEAP I CAN NOT DO FACTORY RESET.
WHEN i choose this option it will go to the TWRP recovery nice huh!? NO.
so what will i do i know my phone is not BRICKED YET! İF THERE İS TWRP THERE İS HOPE!
BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO RIGHT KNOW

Dude you need to rename the files before you put them in the folder
HuRUpdater 0_3.zip --> just delete the number (HuRUpdater.zip)
update_data_full_public.zip --> update_data_public.zip
update_full_PRA-L11_hw_eu.zip --> update_all_hw.zip

It would, main issue is that HuRUpdater is made for many Huawei phones not just for prague, when you flash the HuRUpdater.zip it can only flash the update.zip because you don't need to rename it. It doesn't flash the other zips because they're not named correctly, hence the updater can't find the zips to flash.

there is a misunderstood i allready rename the 3 update files. i used two times the nocheck recovery method and works well but the issue is the same. i only dont rename the hurupdater file. i will give a try now.

Let me know if it works, if that doesn't work for you too I can't help you but I just uploaded the stock oreo erecovery to GDrive and you can download it and flash it to recovery_ramdisk partition (because you are on Oreo) then make a factory reset or go back to nougat https://drive.google.com/open?id=157C0CI5CqSEzvQRB7Yt5K1WPtYBcaO08
EDIT: I didn't read it right sorry that you can't connect to wifi. Try wiping data-cache-dalvik-system on TWRP and then flashing the HuRUpdater.zip
You may also have a bad download, I mean one of the zip files you have may be corrupted

same result i did it just you are said. it flashed oreo and it booted and works. But there is no File manager can not use themes. Build number is 8.0.0.046(08TO). I can make call connect to internet over LTE / 3G / EDGE.
is this issue are from that my phone is from another region instead from europe? İ downloaded the PRA-LX1C432B322-(8.0.0.322) from Team MT FirmwareFinder over Huawei host servers three times. even i download the stock nougat rom in the same way. I flashed the nougat but this time build number is NRD-testkeys . same issue file manager themes not appear or work.

If you get that build number issue on nougat it might be about your oeminfo partition. Try flashing PRA-LX1C432 oeminfo on this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/8-lite/how-to/share-oeminfo-t3740734
Beware, it locks your bootloader, so unlock it after you flash the file. Then start erecovery and download the nougat firmware to get your device ready for Oreo, then flash the HuRUpdater.zip . I hope this works!

is this rebranding changes my device IMEI adress? if it is so my unlock code do not work?

I don't think it changes the IMEI. I had a pra-lx1c464(Turkey) and I rebranded it to c432 I had no issues with it. It will change your device to Dual-SIM though if you have a single SIM device, which has no effect at all. I can still use my bootloader unlock code, and I have used it many time again and again after rebranding the device. Also you're trying to install PRA-LX1C432B322 Oreo right? Your device should be branded as PRA-LX1C432 first

is it neccesery to download the nougat rom from eRecovery over wifi?

I'm not sure but it is necessary to have it branded as PRA-LX1C432

I will give a try flash the oeminfo c432 then try to flash nougat with nocheck image.

nope nothing works... I flashed the oem info from the link that you givin here. but the oeminfo doesnt change the Build number but the device changed to honor 8 lite chinese normal version on nougat. After flashed the oreo the build number dont changed and the themes not working file manager also not excist.

Factory reset

Have you tried to reset the phone to its factory defaults . In this way I fixed missing apps problem .

I tried factory reset over Recovery bu it doesnt changed any thing. Then i tried the factory reset from the settings of the rom. Same result.

I just installed it manually. I have the 8.0.0.46 (08TO) but I don't have any issue, I have apps and themes..is it correct the version not should I expecting something different?
Please let me know

Same build number as in my settings. Themes wont work because regional issues. When i change phones language to english themes apps works well. Thats the themes app i admit it but.. in the other hand i dont get the in games(i dont remember the original name of it) app comes with oreo. I dont have the huawei login future anymore i think this is because of the unlocked bootloader not tried to look again then do a factory reset. I can not rebrand my phone. I know because when i flash europen oeminfo or not if i install the stock emui 5.0.3 again it says no build number against test keys . On the other side i can use my phone well i dont have any problem. And i forgot to say i dont even the file manager i installed the hidisk apk that i found on internet.
My advise is dont do this to your phones wait for a official update. But for us this is a long hard road

No August update?

A lot of users are saying they got an update with August security patches and other improvements.
But now it's almost the end of August and I haven't have got any update after the July update.
Build number: LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675)
Varient:Indian
Any help?

1.) Is your boot-loader unlocked ?
2.) Do you have a Custom Kernel or Recovery Installed?
3.) Are you Rooted?
If the answer is yes to any of them then thats why your not getting any OTA's, If Yes is on 1.) then simply issue the fastboot command to relock the device "fastboot oem relock <bootloader-code>" If its yes to 2.) / 3.) Then your going to need to flash the phone back to stock before then relocking the bootloader.

1) Was unlocked
2)Had TWRP
3)Was rooted
I switched back to stock because of constant bugs especially the camera(what's the use of keeping a camera oriented phone in the pocket if it's camera is of no use?)
I'd used HuRupdater to flash the firmware. Now bootloader's relocked and everything's working fine except updates.
I think I flashed the wrong firmware maybe ( I forgot the build number so had to guess. I was sure I had an LLD-AL10 and that there was a C675 and 8.0 in the build number. I matched the changelog with that of the last update I got and then I kinda found out that everything matched to LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675) )
Would one stop getting updates if they installed wrong firmware?
Everything works fine except updates.( And the bootloader 'relocked' status in fastboot).
Should I just flash the August update with HuRupdater( that's gonna be a lot of hassle as I have to unlock bootloader and do all those stuff) or can I update via any other method?

Right you can use Firmware finder on your phone which is a good start.
So using FF select then next version up from your current and only select a OTA-MF, then make sure its for your phone by clicking check firmware access.
If its for your phone then simply use the in-app proxie and connect to a wifi point. Once you have done this edit that Wifi via Settings and change the Proxie to Localhost port 8080. Then go the System and Update.
Now it should download the small version OTA to your phone and reboot to try to install it, it it goes thought and installs without error then great, if it errors out when you boot back into android it will offer the Full OTA without using FF to which will then flash proper without losing data then see if OTA's work after that.

I checked and this is what happened.
FF detected my phone as LLD-AL10C675
The latest update that's is approved is
LLD-AL10 8.0.0.181(C675CUSTC675D1)
It is B181
But that update is from June. So I searched for LLD-AL10 and pressed ok , so that it shows all firmwares for lld al10.
And I think I found the one I have currently installed(build number and changelog matches) LLD-AL10 8.0.0.170(C675CUSTC675D1). It is from 11/7/2018. Everything above says either firmware not approved or has a wierd term cn in the available models section.
This is something I quite don't understand. When I check firmware access it says lld-al10:all-cn.
I think cn stands for China.( Uploading screenshot)
Would it be safe for me to install the update?
Also is it necessary to download the update just above the one I have installed now or can I skip to the latest one?
Sorry if that's a lot of questions.

I'm in a tight corner now.
I can't get any updates using the dns method or the in app proxy method.
This sucks as I was able to get an update using the dns method 3 weeks back. I didn't install it. I checked for updates, it showed updates, then I stopped dns and things went back to how it was(no updates ?). Today I tried again and nothing happened.
Crazy phone?

Are you selecting the smaller updates as it will not work with full ota's any more.

I tried it with both the small one and full ota update

Well it worked for me from going from LLD-L31c432b133 to LLD-L31c432b136 as the small OTA came down failed to install so then it downloaded the full version are you sure your setting the WiFi to use the proxies using localhost and port 8080?

Yup I'm sure I did those right. I tried both the VPN and proxy methods. As I told VPN used to work.
Anyways I'm gonna wait and try it a few more times. Then I might use HuRupdater.
Thanks for your replies man ?

OMFG bro I fixed it.
You see Huawei had rolled out an update for the 'system update' app through playstore. I had updated it. And after I uninstalled the update for it, things are starting to work again ?.
Only 3 questions remains.
1) Can I install firmware that is not approved?
2)Is it necessary to install the update just above the version I
have currently installed?
3)Is it okay if FF says it's approved but has the part LLD-AL10-
all-cn:all ?
Does the cn part matter ?
Would be very grateful if you could help

1) Yes
2) No
3) CN= China. Personally I wouldn't, plus I don't speak Chinese , why would you want to ? I also like having full access to Google playstore.
On an aside, I'm beginning to get the impression you won't be happy till you really brick your phone . :laugh::laugh:

I have tried this procedure more than three times and it just doesn't work. I have the same model version C432 and the same firmware B133. I even downloaded the full Ota file and tried through SD card update ("#" #2846579#"#"), still nothing. When I connect it to Hisuite it says that I have the last official version. Any suggestions?

I used the FF app on mobile then used in app proxie connected to a wifi point and edited the connection to enable proxie on localhost port 8080. I also only downloaded only the small OTA, however it will fail to install then once you rebooted back into android go system update and then press the 3 dots and go for Full Download that will fix it.
Just a point you may have the same Firmware even the same model but they are not made equal.
Also check Google play store app for Huawei System Update it should look like the picture that's attached then click uninstall and reinstall install the app too before starting as reinstalling that app can help alot.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.
So Ive already done all this because it may be related but no luck.Last time I used FF was to get the B133 which already didnt work on the 7th August,I then uninstalled the FF app,stopped the proxy localhost etc. and right after that I did the update check through system update and the B133 FULL was offered to download,so the B133 was made properly through system update right after all the procedure with the FF.

Try uninstalling the update for the system update app then use the VPN or proxy method.
Maybe the update just hasn't reached you like me.
