So i cant Garantee that this will work for you but it worked verry fine with my (EVA-L09).
1. I started my P9 in Fastboot Mode (Hold Volume Down + Connect USB Cable)
2. I used the Programm DC Phonix 35 at First and used Method 2 (see Link). I used the File for the Dual Sim Version (EVA-L19, you find the File on the Data Base of the DC Phonix Tool) of the P9 because there is no Version for the Solo Sim. But it worked verry fine.
3. After i completed Method 2 i started the Phone and saw that it worked again but it is an verry small android version with no function exept Phone Settings and some Huawei Internal Software.
4. I restarted the Phone into the Fastboot Mode and used Method 1 with the Update.app of the Firmware EVA-L09C432B136. But only do step 1. Step 2 will not work !! After the Process was completed i restarted it and it worked.
5. After that i Searched in the Android Options for an Update and found the EVA-09C432B182. You need to install it to fix some errors. After the Phone installed by itself the B182. I used the Huawei Updater with the Hisuite to Upgrade to B361 because the Phone didnt found a new Version by itself. Guide for Huawei Updater with Software Links
And now my P9 is on the EVA-09C42B361 and can find updates by itself i know the new B383 is out but i will wait a week than the Phone will find the Update by itself and i dont want to Brick it again. In the next Days your Phone will show you that the B383 is avalible.
I hope my Little Guide can Help you. If you have any Problems please write me I know that the DC Phonix tool costs Money but it was the only way it helped me. But i have some credits left at my account i think you can use them if you want
Sorry for my Bad english if there are some questions left please write me

Thanks so much for your help. I'll follow these steps as you've stated and see how it goes. By the way, I'm on single-sim Eva-L09C432B378. I'll try use the DC Phoenix 35 but it will cost me money as you've said. May I please use your leftover credits at your account?

The benefit is that it BECOMES dual SIM as it is only disabled in software not hardware.

Great you have posted this How To BadWolfYe - only bits i am not sure of are the 'unlock boto loader' as see no instructions for this (unless i am being completely dim, which is possible!) and where to find an unlock code in case we need to relock the bootloader... or do we have to re-lock it after to get OTA? Actually if we do get OTA will be get the dual or single SIM OTA once upgradng to this?

Thank you for the guide.
Will it work for the P10 also?
Thank you
ioannis

Has anyone got this to work? This is my first Hauwei device so I wasn't 100% sure how to complete some of the steps. What I have a the moment is a phone that reports as having 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage space and running Android 5.1. Could anyone please expand on this guide or let me know where I went wrong?

Okay, I don't really know how I managed to do it but I've managed to change the software of my L09 to that of an L29 and it works fine. So thanks for this guide.
After stumbling through this guide I ended up with a device that had some weird software with ndr90m test keys (whatever that means0. However he Dual SIM worked. So then I followed the guide from here with the firmware from this post and now I have phone that correctly (or should that be incorrectly as strictly speaking it was originally an L09) identifies a P10 Plus L29.

Which one of the guides did you follow on that page? First or second?
Also... Just to confirm that all you did was use the 29 rom from here rather than the 09 from there?
Plus (sorry for all questions).... Your second sim now works ok?

Hi all,
First of all: BadWolfYe! Thank you the guide!
So yesterday I got my new P10 plus, but I became really upset when I realized it is only one SIM version, so decided to make it 2
But!
OK, I did not do anything like this in the last few years, but I am not totally amateur. But I had problem wit it...
I did everything as written.
I restored the VKY-L29C432DualSIM and now I do not know what to do...
I know, next point, but my pc doesn't recognize the phone. And ADB doesn't either.
When I turn it on, it goes to Huawei erecovery, wants wifi and download something to recover.
It was TWRP recovery before on it, but it seems it disappeared after VKY-L29C432DualSIM...
Unfortunately I had to come to work, so could not play with it and to be honest I am too tired after this to think clearly.
Does anybody know how can I do the next step? (Via Fastboot flash the erecoverycustom.img file with this commands
Thanks.

I used method 1 and the 29 ROM from here.
---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------
I'll attempt a guide here that's maybe not the quickest way of doing it but it's the way that works for me. The guide also assumes you can manage to download a quick adb setup and use adb from the command line. Bear in mind that BadWolfYe has written guides on what I'm about to cover below and that's how I learnt. TWRP install by BadWolfYe.
0) Take working L09 phone and bootloader unlock code (I put the details of my phone into the Huawei website and got a code in return)
1) Enable developer options by going to Settings>About phone and tapping 'Build number' a bunch of times until it says you have enabled developer options.
2)Now go to Settings>Developer options and select 'enable OEM unlock'. Also enable USB debugging and ADB etc.
3)Download and rename twrp to twrp.img from the link in the BadWolfYe thread here
4)ADB reboot bootloader' from the command line and enter 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'
5)Press and hold volume up and power until you are in TWRP and then back up your OEM partition. (if you can't get into TWRP then you may need to repeat step 4 and also do 'fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img).
6)Use the File manager in TWRP to replace the OEM files with files from the zip file download link in this thread above.
7)Restore OEM partition and then use the Shutdown option in TWRP.
8)Download the ROM from above This BadWolfYe link and unzip to find 3 files.
9)Place files in a folder called HWOTA on a microSD card and place card into phone
10) Download this file from this guide and extract to your computers hard drive.
11) run update.bat from that extracted contents as an administrator and follow the on screen instructions. The on screen instructions basically take you through from step four on the stechguide.com method 1 through to the end of the guide. I think I remember you get some options and I just use option 1 twice, from SD card and not rebrand.
If you can follow the guides they should work fine and you'll end up with a completely stock dual SIM phone with a locked bootloader.
From that point on I unlock the bootloader on mine again, install TWRP again and use it to flash Magisk 12 for root. Using root and Titanium Backup I restore my old device ID and a bunch of apps and settings and things are fine. However on the next reboot the launcher refuses to run and I'm left with an unusable phone (I don't know how to launch apps without the launcher) and I get error messages about running short of space as something has filled the internal memory with what appears to be junk files. I then start from step 8 in my guide and get a phone with a locked bootloader and no root but the device ID I want and all my apps and data.
If someone could offer me any help with regards to this last part I'd be grateful. I don't understand what causes the launcher issue.

Fixed...
Device ID, I think same - unfortunately my PC was stupid (nooo, not me) and I make the note in it so I lost it
2 SIM works - however only EE ones so the phone is locked. (Testing the online unlock code sellers )
Bootloader locked
Met "ndr90m test keys" as dave852, but hes linked page and 1. method helped. Oh, and could not install L29 ROM with volume + - and power, only with the linked method. I think that method could do everything after you opened bootloader, but will not test it. I am happy with my L29
But the important, there is a way to make L29 from L09

I would guess it would be possible using the files from the OEM backup you made (if you kept them) and a downloaded L09 ROM (available in a few places) but I'm not 100% sure and I'm not going to try it.

No, I have not any backup. I forgot to made any so I am lucky that I did not need it

I somehow managed to convert my single sim to dual-sim but unfortunately i cannot modify nor set any ringtone to the 2nd sim. Any ideas of how i can fix it ?

LOL. I gave this several attempts, alas, without success. I kept ending up with the test keys / strange device ID (ION something).
So I decided to skip my rebranding attempt and go back to L09. After "rebranding" it to L09 again and after flashing B130 for L09 I ended up with dual SIM support anyway. Eveything seems to be checking out as far as I can tell. Not sure if OTA will work though, time will tell I guess. Safety net etc. also checks out.
The options for dual SIM are showing and I've tested it. Everything just works.

Can anyone confirm that after enabling the second SIM slot that their phone now has 2 x IMEI numbers?

I just recently purchased p10 plus . for 3days the Fone was working fine both sims 3/virgin then suddenly emergency calls only on 2nd sim. I tried to deactivate activate ect ect . until I lost both sims. Soft hard reset sim 1/working sim2 emergency calls only. If I swap the sims around in the tray same issue . then with only one sim either 3/virgin full teceotuin if I make or receive a call after the call I have no reception I wil l need to swap the sim from tray1 to tray 2 . and the funny thing is both sims will receive and send texts all day long with no issues
Any ideas
Thanks in advance

Has anybody done this and checked warranty status in Huawei Hi Care app?

I can confirm this works 100%. Dualsim working. Serial, imei all still the same. Recovery back to original too

Huawei p9 always rebooting every 2 minutes

Hello everyone,
I'm new in xda's forum and so that's my first thread.
I hope you can help me.
I have a Huawei P9 EVA-L09C02B357 that lately it automatically reboot about every 2 minutes. The interesting things is that it happened only if I boot the ROM (stock or not). But in recovery mode (or erecovery) or fastboot mode, this automatic reboot doesnt manifest.
All is started when I have tried to install RROS Nougat on my phones and it was working when i tried to turn off the phone and then turn it on but nothing, the phone was stuck on boot phase.
I decided to switch data file system from f2fs to ext4 and then reinstall it as the guide explains.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-t3606185
The ROM worked correctly except the fingerprint sensor.
During the first configuration, it scans my fingerprint but for a bug, i couldnt go over the first scan.
Searching on the internet I understood that the problem could be the modem. But for a mistake I have flashed the wrong fix for the modem (it was for another phone, don't ask me how I didnt notice it).
Now even with stock rom or custom the phone has this automatic reboot. Particularly the stock rom has many bugs every time i flash it, like: there isn't the IMEI, there aren't any preinstalled apps, is really slow in some situations and the default keyboard is the voice typing...
I think the solution is to flash the stock modem, but when I try to flash it via fastboot, it says: "No suitable files selected. Check profiles.xml".
Thanks in advance
P.S. sorry for my bad english :C

To go back to android 6, my phone should have android 7 installed? Cuz now i have some problems to flash it.

UPDATE
Thank you so much vampirian!
I have successfully installed android 6 and the automatic reboot is gone.
Now i'll try to update it and probably retry to install RROS .

I know I don't write a lot of things or give you all the links. But it was good for you to research and learn more about your device good job and good luck with rros (although is dated and its not really worth, but that's just my opinion )

This is not the serial number (of your device) but the stock firmware build mame/number
If you debrand to c432 (EU) from your c900, you will automatically receive (must have SIM card in) OTA updates first to b242 (over your b182) and then further OTA updates up to b399 or even b502

If you have debranded to c432 as suggested in my previous post, let it update as far as it gets (b398, b399 or even b502).
Once it stops receiving OTAs, perform Hard reset with wiping Internal memory (you can do it from Settings or from eRecovery)
Btw, if it attempts an OTA but it fails, then go back to the updating screen and choose Full update, instead of (default) differential update.
Which ROM to suggest you - Magic Rainbow v4:

Now the phone is installing the b395 update. Is the hard reset necessary?
I knwo the existence of Magic Rainbow but i didn't know that it is based on Emui. I'll download it because i guess it is more stable than RROS.

It seems that i cant go over b395.

Are you now on EVA-L09 c432 b395, exactly as that?
You do not receive further OTA, or you received OTA but it failed (in that case force Full update as suggested above)?
If you're really not receiving OTA b398 or b399, try Hard reset with wiping Internal memory - if still mo OTA, install b398 by HWOTA method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
Once you reach b398, you're ready for MR v4.

If you boot to eRecvery ( Vol+ and Pow) you will find Hard reset option.
Similarly, under Settings /Advanced Settings/ Reset phone there is also hard reset option - cannot tell you better details, I have TWRP and MR v4, I don't have these options.
Also if you 'dial' ' *#*#2846579#*#* a hidden Project menu will open, with Restore Factory option

Both two last options as listed (Settings and Project Menu) are present in stock ROM.
And you can boot to eRecovery as above - shut down, then press and keep pressing Vol+ and Pow together
If not OTA, then the best way for manual updating is HWOTA, I gave you the link also above
But still, you didn't confirm, are you really on EVA L09 c432 b395, ie, you are not on L19 (by mistake)

I was on EVA-L09 c432 b395 and now I'm on b502. I tell you what I did.
I tried to make a reset bt the Project Menu option but, the reset it didn't gave any update...
So I tried with firmware finder (android version) and I used the DNS method. I have chosen the b397 OTA and the updater found it.
During the download, it arrived at 25% and suddenly the phone has found the b502 for a total of 4 patch to download together (I dont know how to explain that thing).
After download the phone reboot for installing phase but it failed... and on boot it appeared a red warning, then i went to erecovery, shut off the phone and go to recovery mode for a factory reset.
Factory reset was a success but on boot the red warning still appear but i tried to continue to boot... fortunately it was all ok but the phone was on b395.
It magically appeared the screen for b502 Full-OTA update and now I have it!
I wouldn't understimate you but I always prefer to try solution by myself.

System update/software update option missing

Hi,
I am currently the owner of a P10 VTR-L09GBRC5555
The phone is branded by Three UK(carrier) but not locked into theyr network. I am on android 7.0 nougat (B152) and after a while I realised that the software update option is nowhere to be seen. I unlocked the bootloader before but locked it back beacouse I wasn't able to use banking apps beacouse of it. I have a screenshot of my device with the software update missing, any ideas why this is happening? Do let me know if you need any more info I can provide in the hope that somebody can help me.
Regards

Where's your screenshot?
The unlocked bootloader and root can be hid by MagiskHide - it works fine BTW.
Only fix I can provide you is to do a factory reset via eRecovery.
Backup all your data with HiSuite app on PC - note that it doesn't backup Photos and Videos, so copy them manually to SD or PC.
Then boot into eRecovery by connecting USB, power off the phone and power it on again while holding Vol+.

Where's your screenshot?
The unlocked bootloader and root can be hid by MagiskHide - it works fine BTW.

Hi,
I am currently the owner of a P10 VTR-L09GBRC5555
The phone is branded by Three UK(carrier) but not locked into theyr network. I am on android 7.0 nougat (B152) and after a while I realised that the software update option is nowhere to be seen. I unlocked the bootloader before but locked it back beacouse I wasn't able to use banking apps beacouse of it. I have a screenshot of my device with the software update missing, any ideas why this is happening? Do let me know if you need any more info I can provide in the hope that somebody can help me.
Regards

Are you sure that f/w is correct? Have you flashed a different firmware when rooting etc and now update is missing? The option to update should still be on HiSuite if you plug into computer?

I don't believe Magisk hides from all banking apps etc. I used to have it on my old phone and Barclays wouldn't hide. Have asked people to confirm if this is still the case but haven't had a response.

Hi, and thank you for your involvement, I hadn't flashed anything on the phone. When I unlocked it via a code from Huawei I was trying to rebrand it from Three UK to a normal variant, non branded by carrier. As I read online rebranding must be done to a VTR L29, so a dual sim or else my sim would not be recognizer. The rebranding process didn't take place beacouse I did not know how to do it, it is just too complicated for me. At the time I had B152 on the phone, and I found in FF an approved B152 software, and I flashed that, or rather just made a kind of software update via system update option. Since then I seem to be missing the update software option. The screenshot is missing from the tread beacouse I am a newbie and the forum will not let me upload things yet.
Regards.

Fix?
Hi, did you ever find a fix for this? I am having the same issue. Currently on B152 with no stock applications and update settings missing

Huawei 20 mate lite soft bricked

Hi , soft bricked my Huawei Mate 20 lite. Model is SNE-LX1 HW/EU. Did a firmware upgrade to frp unlock Since then get black screen with yellow text saying a new OS has been installed and device reboots in recovery. Reinstalled already different firmware versions via sload SD card upgrade + use fastboot to unlock FRP code. Fastboot unlock command completes successfully and device does automatically a low level format to then come back to "different os installed message. Anyone advice ?

Hi phitilip, I can't help you on the bricked part (yet). I assume you tried to use Huawei Hisuite software to restore the original firmware so you could possible start over?
I recently got my Mate 20 Lite and haven't messed with it too much (yet!). I do have a question for you though. How did you get the bootloader unlocked? The only way I have found is to pay some random person/company for an unlock code. Trying to avoid that. By the way, I'm in the USA and also on SNE-LX1 with a 'global' designation.

Hi , the unlock code I purchased was for the FRP unlock because I was told would solve my problem and although the code is correct and allows to do a factory reset it will not solve the "you installed a new software ..." message. When looking online I found that I probably installed the wrong region code firmware but tried everything and cannot get the phone to boot normally. Any advise would be very appreciated.

Can you get to recovery or download?

I'm much more familiar with Samsung devices so my frame of reference is there. How did you flash the new rom? What tool? Where did you get the rom from?
Since you can reset to factory, but that still gives you the error, the only way I can think of so far, with the very little experience I have with Huawei devices, is to find two things if you can. First try to find a 3rd party recovery like TWRP or CWM or possibly use the tool you used to flash the ROM. Flash that if possible to the recovery partition. Then find the original factory firmware for your device and region, even if you have to go beck to Android 9. Then from recovery, or the tool you used to flash new rom, flash that. I'll do some research and see if I can find anything you haven't. From my limited searching for my own Mate 20 Lite, there doesn't seem to be much out there. What's your objective in all of this? Are you just looking to root? Did Hisuite play any role in this? The good news is I have the exact same device as you so I can try some things while it's not bricked
