As asked in the title, can I update a rooted Huawei P9 with custom recovery to Nougat update?
And if not, what should I do in order to update? Remove root and custom recovery? Factory reset?
Thanks in advance
What the firmware version do you have ??
You can update the phone, but changind the firmware will mean that you'll lost the root.
You can update it, then you can root the phone again ....
EMUI 4.1.1
I also have TWRP custom recovery.. Would that make it riskier to update?
And how should I update? Wait for update to be available through phone or other methods? And what would be the other (easy) methods if I decide not to wait for it to be available through the settings on the phone?
If possible and not a bother, could you link another thread or a guide for this, please?
Thanks for all the help!
What build number do you have? It should be something like L09C432B383.
You can update to Nougat using TWRP but you will lose root and TWRP Recovery will go back to stock recovery. Just download the appropriate Nougat firmware that matches your Cust number (Eg, C900, C432 etc).
You can flash TWRP Recovery again and root your phone after the update.
Note: Nougat supersu.zip file is different from Marshmallows.
Build Number: L09C606B150
Ok, so should I do it directly through the phone? Or Pc?
I found an update to Nougat with the Build Number: C432B322. Should I use this one to update? And should I flash through TWRP? If yes, how should I do it?
Sorry for all the questions, I've never bricked a phone and not ready to do it now...

No you have to find a firmware that matches your cust (C606). If you flash this C432B322 you will brick your phone.

Thanks! I fortunately waited for the answer before updating hahaha
And I searched for an update with c606 and didn't find one.. how should I proceed with that?
If you really want to get to Nougat and not wait for build releases for your cust C606 then you will need to debrand your phone to C432 cust following this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
And do keep in mind doing incremental updates instead of jumps ahead of a build is better to do to avoid compatibility issues from build to build.

Hi guys, i have a problem.
I've tried to install xposed but i bricked my device, so i flashed the old firmware (only cust.img,boot.img,system.img and recovery.img) and now..the phone is working but the sim is not detected..any idea to solve this?
[UPDATE - I've stock rom and i'm on b133 firmware]
You need to go to stock firmware B052, stock recovery and wipe data after fully installation.
Then you need to do an OTA update to 170 and then and OTA update to 180.
After update to one of those OTA updates, your ril (sim) will work again without a problem.

Here is the post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/huawei-p8-lite-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3309796 download the B152 firmaware and flash it, you can follow the instructions provided by the OP. after that maybe you will recover yoir IMEI or you wont, in any case just update via OTA to 177 version and the IMEI will be restored, exactly the same thing happened to me and that was how I solved
regards
PD In the case you have the balong issue here is the fix for the B152
You can also download it from here:
http://hi6210sft.blogspot.be/2016/05/unbrick-huawei-p8-lite-via-fastboot.html#more
that happended to me when i downgraded but if you OTA update that should sort the problem out, thats what work for me anyway.

First you must flash stock recovery. You can extract from another full rom 7.0
Second you must have downgrade pack for your region and mobile operator.
Next you must have full rom 6.0 for your region.
You must have all file because you don't want debrand your firmware
Thanks, actually if i want debrand my phone whats the diference? Because I think I don't care...
Also, where can i find all of these files you write about?
I'm really lost with all firmware versions ... Does it matter if my version is EVA L09 C33B363 and i flash stock recovery from another version??
Also, my bootloader is locked, do I have to relock it? Does it even possible??

If you have locked you must unlock again. All file you can take from forum. Debrand it's unlock warranty and sometime you loose your guarantee. But what region you from

Here you have how debrand
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
If you debrand you can then flash stock recovery flash b300 and then b136 and do it wipe in stock recovery.
When you want debrand first you see your cust be c900 and then you must flash stock recovery do it wipe system/data and cache
If you do it your cust change to c432 and then must check your region using dial pad
*#*#2846579#*#* then push 3 and 4
If you see your vendor: hw and country: Europe
You can downgrade to b300 and then to b182
You lose your theme and you see ugly icon then do it wipe system/data and cache in stock recovery
After this you have update to b383 then b386 next to b391 and final to b393 or b394
I have b393

Install b182 (still MM) and you should then receive OTA upgrades to b38x, b39x (Nougat)

I still don't understand why you don't 'like' OTAs. In System Update, Settings, you can always choose Full Update instead of default Differential. And you can force afterwards Factory Reset if you think you need.
b386 is the last flashable by DLOAD. Btw, I was going back and forth through diff stock and rooted and custom ROMs, rollbacks, OTAs, and never had any error in installations. There are many threads with excellent info and guides, you must read and follow because in diff situations methods might be different. DLOAD is not always applicable
Hi Everyone,

I had some questions hopefully can be resolved.
When there is an update in firmware finder can install it directly or it has to be through twrp or erecovery?
Am i able to update magisk manager without problems?
anyone got viper4anroid working or made audio experience better for this phone?
i understand that every time I update firmware ill loose root. Is there a way to not loose it?
Will update firmware make me loose all my apps and settings?
does downgrading firmware causing bricking?
Hello!
I've done the same thing. I didn't install TWRP so I can update via OTA. Today i've got 8.1.0.131 (C432) update. If you use TWRP to update firmware it will wipe your data. Magisk can be updated without problem. Viper will not work. No support for x64 audio drivers.
Go back from l29 to l04
How do i go back to l04 from l29 i was l04 at the start
When a new update is available you can just download it and flash it through hurupdater in twrp.
After updating just flash magisk again and you will retain root (also remember to reflash twrp/have the recovery.img file in the same directory when updating through hurupdater).
You will not loose any data or settings (unless the new firmware explicitly tells otherwise).

Hello Just one question. Did you use the same guide to get root and to debrand or was the same link used by mistake? I am asking because I am doing this to my phone and I am now in the debrand part. will really appreciate your help. thanks
I have searched everywhere but I didn't find a reply to my question.
A couple of days ago I have updated my phone LLD-L31 to the version 8.0.0.132 through Firmware Finder (it worked for me with proxy method) then I decided to revert back to the previous version 8.0.0.131. So I started reading guides to install a firmware on Huawei/Honor devices, I have downloaded the FullOTA package version 8.0.0.131 with Firmware Finder, placed it in the folder dload on my SDcard and started the intstallation in the project menu (accessible digiting *#*#2846579#*#* in the dialer), it started but suddenly it ended with a message "installation failed".
So my question is: how can i revert to the previous version of the software (or to the out of the box firmware installed on my device)?

You should have an option to downgrade in the about section/ the update menu of your phone if you did it right.
Otherwise you may need to use the HuRupdater Method.

Thanks for your reply!
I don't have this option, but if I remember well I hadn't it also in the previous version of the firmware.
So i can't install a previous version of the firmware simply downloading it an putting into dload folder of the SDcard?

Can you please specify why do you want to roll back?
Because most people just wanna upgrade to a newer version.Newwr versions will have better stability so it's recommended to keep the latest version unless you have some bugs.
I honestly don't know why the dload method doesn't work, seems that it doesn't work for most people.
I think you'll be able to roll back using HuRupdater. But that'll mean you'll have to unlock bootloader and flash twrp first. Then you can go all stock from there.
Here's a guide to the HuRupdater from @zxz0O0

After installing the version 132 I asked the technical support through HiCare and they told me that installing firmware with Firmware Finder could void warranty so I decided to revert to the previous firmware and wait for regular OTA by Huawei.

I'm not sure but I think you are on the latest build for your varient now so you won't be getting any updates untill a next build comes in.
I don't think you'll be able to roll back without the firmwares from firmware finder as you don't have an option to roll back.
The best option now would be to just wait for the next official build(might come soon as a small ota which has security patches) and then check if you are facing any issues installing which you won't as you are not rooted and dosent have an unlocked bootloader. So don't worry ?
