Hello everyone!
I just bought an used P9 (EVA-L19) in pristine condition. It arrived with the nougat update but it is missing all Huawei apps. I don't think I really mind not having those (less bloat, hurray!), but I really want at least the camera app! What should I try? This thing is full stock (unrooted), and I'd rather keep it that way... Should I just flash the full stock firmware? HiSuite claims my phone is up to date, but I've got no idea how to check what build my current firmware is.
Thanks!
Oooh... the build seems to be NRD90M "test-keys", which appears to be an old beta build from my googling. Do I have to go back to MM and then upgrade to Nougat? Hopefully I can do all that without a custom recovery...
You have an intermediate firmware.
Search here the B378 for C432 if you want the european version (wich is working fine; some other last updates may have some problems - for example, with B383 me and others have problems with the battery).
Where are you from ??

I'm from Brazil, but I know for a fact this phone isn't brazilian. It comes with a bunch of stuff written in spanish rather than portuguese, and a warranty certificate citing a bunch of spanish-spekaing latin american countries. I'm browsing through the forums and trying to find out what is my Cust yet. But thanks for the response.
Also, if I have to flash something, is it better to stick with Nougat or is Marshmallow more hassle-free?
(I've attached a screenshot of the status screen from Huawei P9 Tool, this is all the data I could gather so far)
I can't read the screenshot ...
On the "About the phone - Version number" what do you have ??
For example, mine has EVA-L19C432B378, where:
-EVA-L19 is the phone model (P9 dual sim);
-C432 is the european version;
-B378 is the firmware version.
Also, you can read that thread too ... https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/how-to-downgrade-nrd90m-to-marshmallow-t3541400

All it says on "Version number" is "NRD90M test-keys". I've read that thread, but to downgrade you need a ROM, and without knowing my Cust ID I'm not sure which ROM I should get.
The screenshot shows my serial number (XVV7N16425001010), the model (EVA-L19 - Dual Sim 32GB Rom 3GB RAM) and a weird build string (eng.jenkin.20161230.130431)

Hello,
do you have dual sim , or single sim and NFC ?
Dual sim: EVA-L19 ou L29
Single sim and NFC EVA-L09 (Européan version)

Dual SIM EVA-L19 - No idea if I've got NFC or not. Can't find anything NFC-related on the menus, but it might be that I do not know where to look. Long time Windows Phone user here, just migrated back to Android :laugh:
absynte said:
NFC is an connectivity option.
If you don't have, you have dual sim
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It does have dual SIM, and is the EVA-L19. So no NFC then. Does it help? I'm currently looking for debranding guides because I can't find what branding this phone originally had.
Oooh well... so far:
1- *#*#2846579#*#* doesn't work (nothing happens), can't enable Manufacturer mode for DC Unlocker
2- The HUAWEI EMUI site doesn't give me a bootloader unlock code, so can't unlock the bootloader with the official method
So, so far, I can't install TWRP, so I can't flash a C432 oeminfo.bin
Also, the Rollback instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/rollback-eva-l19-android-7-0-emui-5-0-t3496091 fail, as the rollback intermediate firmware just fails at 5% claiming to be incompatible with my device.
Aside from blindly trying to flash random firmwares with the three button method, do you guys have ANY ideas at all? I need a rest, just wasted the whole day trying to get this damned thing fixed
Sad thing: even with a borked firmware install this is still orders of magnitude better than my old Lumia 930.
EDIT: GODDAMMIT, BLUETOOTH ALSO DOESN'T WORK!

I'll give the instructions of the first post a try, though they did not work for the OP.
EDIT: AAAAAND the 800mb file is downloading at 28kbps... this won't be fun
I'm not sure if it would've been better to edit the last post or add a new one, so if this is agains the rules (I've read them and couldn't find it), please inform me and I'll change things accordingly... buuuut.... IT WORKED.
The OP on the topic absynte pointed out never really posted the outcome of his issue and it looked like he never got it to work, so here is what I did:
Flashed the zip file
I flashed the zip file linked in this post through starting up with vol up + vol down + power. Exactly like the guy over there it did not solve my issue, but did uncover I had exactly the same build as him (EVA-L19C185B361 - Middle East / Asia)
Flashed the intermediate firmware
I download the correct intermediate firmware (C185B300) from here and flashed the same way. The *#*#... menu did not work (as in the menu itself didn't show up)
Flashed a MM build
I downloaded and flashed C185B180 for whatever reason (could've gone with tha latest MM build right away AFAIK). Worked great, all stock apps were there and so was bluetooth
Let the phone update itself through OTA
It updated itself to B210 (or B220, don't remember well) and then B385. Seems to be working fine, but I haven't given the battery a fair chance (constantly flashing and updating stuff) to judge its performance.
Thanks everyone for the help!

Hello guys,
I have failed. And now I do not know how to continue.
My tragic storry: I wanted to update my HUAWEI P9 from Marshmallow to Nougat and got an error during update, because I am an idiot. I took an (wrong) update from some site, putted it in a dload folder on a sd card and started the update. The update started, the phone rebooted and continued. But at 5% comes "Software update failed! Incompatibulity with current version. Please download the correct update package."
After that I started to search for a solution.
Now I found this site and it seems that here are a lot of people, that are able to solve such problems between wakeup and teeth brushing. I hope someone here can help me with good advices, which avoid me of damaging my phone completely and bring me instead on the way that I can solve my problem.
Enough of the chatter, this is my current knowledge (correct me if I am wrong):
I have (had) a P9 with EVA-L19C636B190 Firmware. (I have noted this before update)
L19 stands for the dual sim P9.
C636 is the Asia/Pacific Hardware
B190 was the old version of stock Android (Marshmallow)
(I know now, that I have tooked the wrong Hardware-Package. I should have taken C636 and
everything would have become beautiful)
As I understand, the wrong Firmware is now on my phone and the bootloader try to continue the update each time I start an Update.
If I start the phone normaly, I get the EMUI logo with the options to "Download latest version and recovery" (No way, with the wifi connection, he can not find a server to download), "Reboot" and "Shutdown".
I suppose, that there is a partition on my phone, where the wrong update file was loaded to. Because if I try to "update" back to EVA-L19C636B190, there is no difference, the update ends at 5%, even without a sd card. So I think, that I need to clear this partition and need to start an update with the dload-folder-method again.
As I understand some artikles here, I need for that a special tool (SRK), with which I can clear the partition in the FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE. But for that the phone must be unlocked.
In next step I need to unlock the boatloader with the huawei online tool where i get the unlock code based on my serial number and so on.
What would you say to my plan? Or is there an easier method?
What do I need for that?
Please be indulgent with me, I try to learn and to undestand to solve my problem
Thank you in advance.
I'm in Korea and bought a P9 (L09-for Korean market).
I was so frustrated cause it stucked on android M (Huawei Korea didnt even care to give it an upgrade to android N) I tried to do it on my own. I followed a number of instructions here on XDA which I had no idea what they are about and whether I did the right thing, I basically unlocked bootloader, debranded the phone, installed custom TWRP and nougat packages. As a result I got android N (B386 probably) on my phone, no keyboard, no fingerprint, and no service when inserting sim. Is my phone bricked? How do I fix it or make it go back to stock android M.

Your phone is not bricked since it still boots...
If you want a keyboard, download the google keyboard apk, transfer it to your phone and install it in file manager.

To rollback to mm, flash this using dload: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/rollback-eva-l19-android-7-0-emui-5-0-t3496091

I was flashing update with just fail messages so i decide to install the same (eva-l19C6005B135) BUT it was the D007 (my phone has D002) and it was ok, after the update the phone restarts but now the wifi isn't working( it does turn on but doesn't show any wifi available).
btw the phone says D002 is installed (weird) (CUSTC605D002)

You mean eva-l19C6005B135 (c605), not eva-l19C6005B135 (c6005)?
Anyway, this is old Android 6 / EMUI 4, why don't you upgrade to Android 7?
If you have valid SIM card and WiFi, no OTA for update coming?
Check under Settings / System Updates.
You can also check from HiSuite if it offers you a newer version to install
Also, switch off, connect to charger, press and keep Vol+, switch on by Pow, and check from eRecovery: Download and install latest firmware and recovery, what it offers to install
You can also try to install by DLOAD, L19 c605 eg b394 - for DLOAD it must be FullOTA, MF-PV (must be PV), package number #109400, as on screenshot from Firmware Finder

the phone doesn't show any update to nougat, im stock at C605B135, but i do remember that it showed an update a while ago, but not now, weird thing.
well, if i try to install with the dload method the phone says "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package"
I tried the B380 and 397, i will try the 394 that you suggest.
thanks for the help buddy, i will update the post later with the results
PD: can i download this rom from another site or this is the only one? it always fails at 60-70% and it is really slow, 3mb download, i have 30mb

the same error... "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package" with the version that you said, i dont know what to do now
here are the steps that i did:
1-downloaded update.zip (just this file)
1.1 unzip it
2-put it on sd(dload folder)
3-enter download mode and try to install it
do i need to download the other files?
do i need to format my sd again? because it have some other files in it, but with the ota b135 it jus install it fine over and over again

Sorry, don't know the situation with c605 ROMs.
IMO, you should try to flash FullOTA-MF-PV but the MM buiild, but I cannot find by Firmware Finder any MM PV build for your c605 cust (hence I also don't know how did you flash that D007 at the first place?!)
You could also rebrand to eg c432, there are many more stock firmwares for c432 - but for rebranding you will first need to unlock Bootloader
PS: For DLOAD, you must download and put to the DLOAD folder all update* files you find for the given build, not just the first update.zip file- if you didn't do so, that was maybe the reason for your issues with WiFi

how can i unlock the BL? the only method that i think will work is send an email to huawei as a request for the code :/ or paying 20$ for chimera software and unlock it(i don't know if it will work anyway)
but for now im going to download all the files again for a second try and yes, im sure that's why my wifi if failing, i downloaded a ota (not full ota) with a different D007 (mine is D002) because there is not any MM rom for c605 just that one from firmware finder rewrite (desktop version)

Please check older threads under the same P9 Q/A subforum (and/or in the Guides subforum) where you opened your own thread - every week or so somebody asks the same questions about codes for Bootloader (just curious why nobody wants first to invest his own time to search for the answers
Not specific for P9 but same for the other Huawei/Mate models (excluding the newest models released alreadyvwith Pie)
Hint: DC Unlocker or Ministry of solutions, price is not 20 but 4 or 5 Euros

All three update*.zip files must not be unzipped, just copy them as zip files to DLOAD folder, do not create any subfolders
Do not use L09 file, just update.zip and two others with L19 and public in the name - see screenshot
Dlete DLOAD and create again, to make sure something hidden did not remain
And for Bootloader codes you have:

Of course that flashing another cust without rebranding first, bricks the phone.
I just wonder how you know now that, why you didn't take time to read or ask about in advance (and I think, in previous answers I was also writing you about)
Sorry, I'm busy and cannot help you further.
There are guides on XDA, but maybe better pay for DC-Phoenix or Ministry of solutions to unbrick the phone and to install you Nougat like c432 b504

You must rebrand to AL10, update to O and patch the network, exactly as described. Optionally, you can install Face unlock, root by Magisk
