Hello!
The main reason I picked the Huawei P9 Plus was that I had read online that Nougat was coming to the P9 Plus. But now, people have had it since March and I still don't have it! lol
So I've got a couple of questions about trying to install it manually.
1) South Korean banking apps quit working if they detect that you have root access. Is there a manual install method that doesn't require root or a way to hide root access from them?
2) Can I install the European update (the only one I seem to be able to find online) on a South Korean phone? I've got the VIE-L09 and I'm currently running VIE-L09C627B140.
The latest for C627 is B140 in Firmware Finder.
You can debrand your phone to get an European firmware. You will find guides here on XDA.

Would that require root or somehow else block apps that check for root access?

You need to do it twrp, so you need to unlock bootloader and gain root excess.
Debrand
Lock bootloader and close root.

I don't think there is a working TWRP for C627. I tried with all versions of TWRP for P9, none of them work.

So is there no way to debrand? Sorry, I intended to test this about 2 weeks ago and then life happened. Stupid life.

I managed to install twrp after flashing the c432 rom following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523. with the hybrid rom of c900, you can install twrp with SRKTool. After that, you can flash anything you want.

Yes you'll need to unlock the bootloader.
As for the update itself, I use the method here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Originally written for the mate 9, it's been updated for the p10.
It will also debrand if you want to go to C432, and/or update to any rom.
It will wipe your phone though, so backup anything you need to your external sd card.

Yes, technically, but it can be relocked. Indeed the method I linked to above relocked my bootloader twice when I was rebranding to C432, although I don't know if that "restores" the warranty.
If you didn't want to unlock the bootloader, then you'd have to wait for the update to arrive via OTA as a "normal" update from Huawei

FF is pretty safe since it only tricks the original updater. All steps are clearly described by the OP in this thread (Step 4): https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/huawei-p10-debrand-rebrand-update-guide-t3691013
Need to unlock your bootloader first and install TWRP before rooting your phone.
Hi,
I've recently debranded my P20 Pro and found that I can no longer use Google Pay. As part of the debranding process, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, debranded, and then lost root, and noticed that even without root, it wasn't working.
I've rooted the P20 Pro after debranding and SafeNet Check is coming back False for ctsProfile and basicIntegrity, which after reading around, seems to be the issue here. I've tried using Magisk Core Only Mode, I've tried making sure Google Pay is selected in Magisk Hide etc, but still no luck.
Has anyone else managed to get Google Pay working after debranding, or managed to get SafetyNet to come back True after debranding?
Many thanks
Yes, you need to relock the bootloader but will mean you lose root

This is incorrect, man. I have been using Google Pay fully rooted with an unlocked bootloader for over a month with no issues. I suspect it is either because the debranding process has created the issue or something to do with the firmware.
OP, what firmware are you running? If you are on 8.1.0.128a then that is the reason you are failing safetynet.
Downgrade to just 8.1.0.128 and it will function.
I'm unlocked and rooted, Google Pay works just fine.

Thanks for your reply. I'm on 8.1.0.128. The reason I debranded was to get firmware updates. I was originally stuck on a UK build CLT L29 8.1.0.110, but I'm now on EU build CLT L29 8.1.0.128.

No problem. Your build number (in settings) would only show 128 even if on 128a which I suspect that you are infact on (which is the most recent C432 firmware on firmware finder).
Before locking your bootloader (which is unlikely to help, but maybe worth a try if you fail to pass safetynet after at least trying another firmware) you should check firmware finder for 128 (not 128a) and use the HuRUpdater method, and then see if SafetyNet passes.
I had the same issue, basically if your phones bootloader is unlocked but no root and no twrp is installed then all apps will fail the safenet check... No clue why, but i found that out after a few hours of testing and restoring the phone...

Thanks for your reply. Can I assume you got Google Pay back to working, after undoing the changes you made in testing, i.e. locking the bootloader, rooting, and installing twrp?

For the EMUI 8 to 9 tool you will need root. You can do it from TWRP if you wanted to.
But you will need an unlocked bootloader at least, else you won't be able to install it.
No service = its not a service firmware, as most are on androidhost.ru.
Everything works fine. I just flashed it.

It says "no service" because it's not a DLOAD firmware.

It won't with the EMUI8 tool as it is now.
I will edit the EMUI9 tool and upload it, it will only require unlocked bootloader.
Edit: You can just use the EMUI9 tool as is, it's using Oreo TWRP and Oreo NoCheck.
As I am sure that EMUI 9 comes with new bootloader, is it possible to flash it without flashing xloader? As the Custom treble rom I want to use do not work on 9.0 vendor, so I could downgrade back.
Or uses the EMUI9 the 02xloader? If 02 then I can upgrade it to try it out!
Hopefully the update doesnt come x years laters for the ones on the official beta lol, anyway have fun guys

Unlock phone, flash twrp by pretoriano80, flash Magisk zip in twrp.
Alternatively: unlock phone, patch ramdisk in Magisk Manager, flash patched ramdisk in fastboot.
Would this method work for upgrading BLA-L29c636 b145 to BLA-L29C636E2R1P13B159 (9.0.0.159)
Is there any chance of getting a working TWRP/root on this version?

Apparently the root developers, amongst others John Wu (Magisk), are working to get a simple way to root EMUI 9.0.
The root has already been confirmed to be working on the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and more devices should join the party sooner or later.

All versions of EMUI10 that I've tested so far, force locks bootloader. So don't install if you don't want to get locked. I guess if you have beta access approved you can downgrade back to 9.1 using HiSuite.
I have to downgrade using testpoint
Fastboot will still say you're unlocked but the command fastboot oem lock-state info says it's locked. Downgrading back to 9.1 will give back the unlock status, apparently. I guess they just add something to lock even if you're technically still unlocked. And the command to unlock through fastboot is removed so no way to unlock it again. I hope it's just locking for the beta.

Like @ante0 said in the previous post, we already have the links for the updates, but so far all of them will trigger the bootloader lock, so unless you don't care about it, you should refrain from flashing EMUI10.
If the final release won't change this behavior, then probably Huawei has decided to lock the bootloader for good.

Downgrade to EMUI 8?
Well, if you do like me you have to as I have to flash board when BL is locked.
If you mean to keep unlock it won't work. Update from Oreo to Q directly will cause problems, it did for me when going Oreo to 9.1 anyway, and system update actually forces you to flash the latest stable 9.0 (9.0.0.197) to update to 9.1.0.300 then to 9.1.0.306.
And it's not like it's using a function to lock BL like they do when you flash a dload firmware. It's probably still unlocked but something changes it to locked. Iirc you could unlock using TP before, but now it refuses as USERLOCK is changed to unlock as well when you use testpoint, so it will just say "Phone is already unlocked", before it only changed FBLOCK to unlock.
But we will see what happens
@ante0 @Pretoriano80 : just in case I would install this beta from FF. What install method I have to use?

Installing with no-check recovery should work just fine, but you should also flash the new CUST and Preload.
If you really want to flash it, i can send you the link with the latest build (B140), but like i said, it will lock your bootloader.

You can use the 3 files tool (skip the rooting part, of course) from here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/tool-emui-9-0-to-9-1-upgrade-tool-t3949867 <- and replace the nocheck.img with the one from here (tge no verification version) - > https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/recovery-nocheck-pie-t3950037
Make sure that the downloaded firmwares are not corrupt, otherwise the installation may fail, because the no-check recovery will skip the integrity check.
I will send you the update files in PM.

It doesn't really matter. When you flash it you won't be able to flash any newer ones as you won't be unlocked anymore, and can't unlock again either without downgrading back to 9.1.
I would wait until official to see if forced locking remains or not.
