The great brick - help!!

I came from a long way to this point. In this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/help/bluetooth-issue-vie-l09c25b320-t3548885) you have all the steps that I made but, summarizing, I unlock the bootloader using a official code, I failed flashing the first time so I ended with a NRD90M version with no Bluetooth, no keyboard... I managed to update again using the finnish rollback package for VIE-L09, in this point I ended with a L09C900 and BT working. As everything works it seems that was the moment to flash again to a final version so I access through SRK Tool and change the OEMINFO to the EU one (mine was LA) and flash directly through the 3 buttons mode the full C432B180 (or 181, not sure) but ended with C432B181, wich doesn't receive OTA, so I decided to flah to the final stock rom, the C432B360 version with Nougat. It fails at 63% (more or less). Then I tried with a MM version so I force the update again but this time to the C432B170. And failed. On this point a message saying that my phone is encrypted and that I must access a decryption password appears. So I decided to force it again to the C432B160 and now my phone is stuck in the BOOT screen (the one that warns about that my phone it unlocked with orange letters), does't boot in to Recovery, or ERecovery. The 3 buttons method don't work anymore and the phone doesn't turn off till the battery is drained
I only managed to enter to Fastboot mode and shows that the phone stills unlocked and the FRP too.
What can I do to unbrick my device?? DC Phoenix?? Fatboot flashing BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img??
PLEASE HELP :crying:

Dude.. sorry to hear it!
Maybe a flash of original recovery.img would help? FAstboot works as it should?
If you can get Power+Vol Up/Down to work again, you should rollback with finnish .APP, then flash B181, .. then find the complete guide in this thread

Thanx @deecept for your reply.
Well I think that Fastboot works as it should and I will try as soon as I turn back home to flash RECOVERY.img and I will let you know how it goes.
I'll try again if I could fix the Pwr+VOL Up/Down but I not really sure if it would work.
Dc Phoenix I try it a few weeks ago but with no results. But, in this case, probably it would be the best option. But I want to do it nowing what to do exactly because the last time I spend 23€ for nothing.

I would maybe try to flash the original marshmellow recovery.img, to see if that makes any difference.
Here is some files to aid you.

Hey @deecept, nothing. No changes. Yesterday I flash through fastboot Recovery.img, System.img, Boot.img, cache.img, Cust.img and even Userdata.img. But nothing changes. The device still in a bootloop. I'm thinking to use again DC Unlocker, but I'm not sure exactly what to do? If I need to flash a whole update.app or something else. I don't want to spend the money if im not sure what to do.
Btw, something strange happens in fastboot mode. When I try to erase the cache.img it shows the message that Remote command not allowed. But it let me flash every file that I mention. ¿?¿?
In fastboot mode it shows that Phone is Unlocked and FRP too...

@deecept I finally managed to flash and function L09C432B360 usind DC Phoenix. But I found that, again, I havent the data_full package installed so I dont have AGAIN :crying: neither BT or themes or the update section in adjustments. I want to kill my self.... :cyclops:
How can I add them??
If I use DC Phoenix in which order I must flash the files? I have the file update_data_full_hw_eu. I tried to flash it after flash the update.app of the L09C432B360, but dont work

I downgrade back to C181. Everything was fine. I had my BT, themes, everything... Ok I perform the FF upgrade (changing advanced proxy settings and everything). Go to FF, send the ROM to the updater, in the updater I select full package and start upgrading. The device perform the upgrade weirdly fast (3 or 4 mins maximum), and restart and perform a System optimization. When it stops, restart again and susrprise! I have AGAIN NRD90M Test-keys! How is this even possible @Mostar088???

Yes. I selected that one.
I'm trying to repeat all the process again. I just flash via DC Phoenix B181 again without problem via fastboot but again (previously I dont mentioned it) when performing the second step in DC Phoenix, the upgrade mode flash, fails writing the VERLIST.img.
The firs time that I did it also fails but as I restart and everything works fine I forgot it.
Do you think it could affect to the FF process??
Should I continue redoing again everything??
Thx again @Mostar088. It's being a very long and boring process.

Dont know if it affects the FF, i realy dont know what can be wrong.
U have 72h to use Dc Phoenix so try again.
Try flash a MM with a lower build like B170 or 161 and see if u recive OTA to update B181 just to see if that works before u proceed to upgrade N.
Edit: when u downgrade try update by dload method from B170 to B180 and then if u recive OTA for B181.

Nothing. Again bricked. This time DC Phoenix either can't flash. Still having an error when writing VERLIST.img. No matter which version. I tried B170 and B160.
I read in DC Unlocker forum that a way to fix the VERLIST.img flash fail in upgrade mode is trying to repeat flashing using the dload mode. But it also fails.
Really I think I'm cursed... I'll try to go to the very first step. I'll change oeminfo to the original one (LA) and there I'll try to downgrade. I don't know what else to do

¡¡¡YESSS!! FINALLY. I MADE IT!!!
VIE-L09C432B360 Working properly with Bluetooth, Themes, Apps and all the great stuff from a Huawei Stock version!
I have two theories about why I was failing over and over after flashing B181 and updating to higher versions:
1. Phone was updated properly but as soon as it synchronize with google, something doesn't match with the ner version and end in NRD90M Test-Keys. So previously to the last update, after flashing with DC Unlocker (to exit the bootloop), I go to my google account Device Manager and delete the previous VIE-L09 that I have registered.
2. The other theory was that, all the times that I flash and update I allways was with the bootloader unlocked. This time, after flashing the B181 version y relock the bootloader.
One of this steps help me finally made the update:
I will wrote a thread trying to explain how I did it and adding the files that I use.
I wanna thank @Masters_2017, @CNHowardLai, @deecept and specially @Mostar088, @M.KK for their selfless help for nearly a month.
Best regards!

Help i'm stuck
Hey @Kifivierito! can u help me? i'm stuck with your same problem. Ok i was on C900B174 (or173, yes a global one) then i've tried to update to C432B360, but i've got the "test key version" without the keyboard, (NRD90M Test-keys).
So, i rollback to MM with a package, and i got the C900 version again. Through an update i went on Nougat C900 version without many things that were missing (like the updater app). I go back again to MM and this time i've changed the oem file to C432, then, first i unlocked my bootloader and i rooted sucessfully my phone, installing TWPR recovery too. I would come back to stock with a C432B103 version to lock bootIoader and restore. i've decided to download w "firmware finder" the full rom version C432B360 u installed,following all the instructions, but i cannot install it (i think 'cause of my stupid modifications xD ). Now i'm tring to go stock w C432B181, hoping that the bootloader will be locked again. Idk really what should i do now, i'm really getting frustrated.
Pls help me!
EDIT: Ok this one works great C432B181, now i'm scared to update xD

Hey @dr.feelgoodthedj,
sorry for the late reply. Well that last edit of your post are good news. If you have C432B181 running without problem now you only have to follow the steps tu upgrade via FFinder with the FF Proxy settings. If you follow step by step the guide, you will end up with your P9 Plus with Android 7 and everything working.
If you perform it and fail again, don't hesitate and repeat the process trying one of the two points that I write In my last post. Try to access to google my devices and delete the previous P9 that you have. And after that, if still don't working try to relock your bootloader.
With one of this two steps it MUST work.
Good luck!

Unable to install B382 (for VIE-L29C636)

Straight to the point, has anyone successfully updated to B382?
I've tried via FirmwareFinder, it downloads successfully, but during install it says Unauthorised, removes files, and remains the same.
Trying via the dload/sdcard method, and it gives an error @ 5%, and then prompts to reboot the phone.
Have tried going from B190/202/362/370 but no luck each time. Tried with bootloader unlocked & locked, have since done a factory reset once on 370, and still no progress.
Will remain on B370 for now, B382 appears to only be a security patch, but it would be nice to have the peace of mind being on the latest (for Huawei anyway) patch.

CAN YOU GIVE ME LINK FOR b370 ? I HAVED TO TRY WITH FIRMWARE FINDER BUT NOT WORKING, THANK YOU. and i have a same problem when update B382, i think it's a beta version .

I actually used Firmware Finder to update to B370. Although initially I was having issues getting to that as well, from B362 both via dload & FF.
Ended up rolling back to B190 (via dload), then using FF went to 362 > 370.
Here's the LINK to the update.zip anyway.

Check one of the other threads in here on how to update via FF, step by step.
You need to go back out and check for updates again. Full size is def not 5mb.

In order to update to B382 NOW, you need to unlock your bootloader and use TWRP to update it UNLESS you wait till it official launch.

Bootloader unlocked.
update.zip for B382 downloaded.
Is it as simple as flashing that zip in TWRP?
Anything else required? Anything to be aware of?
As mentioned above, I've only updated via dload & FF previously, was not aware of any other method/s.
Thanks

I didn't not tried since bit troublesome for me to backup all data etc. I rather wait for final release. You may try to google this firmware and TWRP method was highlighted. Anyway do it at your own risk.

b382 is still unofficial, if u insist on installing it try this method:

The firmware already approved by Huawei. Just use FF to update will do.

Whats the latest build # for Huawei P10 VTR-L29?

I just want to confirm i have the latest building number. I have a European model using it in Canada so maybe the updates arent pushing to the phone? Im currently on VTR-L29C636B120

Last for your model and market version is 162
http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=vtr-L29C636&firmware_page=0

I have stock VTR-L29 model, BL locked and b151 is the latest for me.
It lools like we need to wait for some time until new update is available through OTA

For anyone looking to update to L09C432B162 the latest on Firmware Finder, I can confirm I just did it and updated with no problems via proxy. I choose the FullOTA-MF version.
The responsiveness and transition between screens is so much faster than my previous version (B113) that I would recommend everyone to make the jump if you can.

No, if you use Firmware Finder app (download from Google Play store), you can use the official update functionality in your phone settings to get the update.
It tricks Huawei servers that your phone is ready for upgrade to this firmware version. So you are downloading the official firmware file from Huawei, and it should install like a normal OTA update. No data loss, no settings loss.

sorry my fault..i updated to 164 with the full firmware package from the site i mentioned, andf then after first boot i got OTA to 171.

When updating using Firmware Finder FullOTA (in-app proxy), do you need to be fully unrooted (stock kernel and recovery) for this to work?
Asking, because I plan to try this update method from B165 to B172 on my VTR-L29C185 and wondering if this process keeps the user data intact or it means a full reset later regardless ... can anyone confirm user data can be preserved with in-app proxy method? Does the BootLoader stay unlocked too?
EDIT:
all went well as per update itself via in-app proxy detection method ... however had to use FullOTA package to successfully install it and that I think re-locked the bootloader, oh well, at least it worked fine

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I'm amazed Huawei can't help me update.
I'm in UK, and still on MM. I updated by forcing it from 182 to 210 but I want to avoid breaching warranty by installing twrp.
It's working fine, I am happy with battery life, I just wanted to get the current stable version of Nougat.
Huawei suggest continuing to wait. Any other options for me within the warranty?

Well its simple... Manually ....

You mean the hisuite download?

No i mean manually. Root debrand, download manually firmware and install.

Hi, I would recommend using firmware finder from the play store and installing using the in app proxy method. It's always worked perfectly for me on any of my Huawei phones.
Just make sure you use the download latest full package option in system update by selecting from the three dots

Exactly but sometimes its not working so he better change DNS

My phone is second hand, seems to be debranded, L09C432B210 forced by putting the update.app in dload. It doesn't work for B360.
I have unticked unlock OEM.
I have created apn for proxy setting, and once L09C432B360 Fullota-mf-pv is downloaded, I'll install it via in app proxy.
Thanks for the explanation. If I have misunderstood please let me know.

L09C432B360 2017.01.05 failed the imei check. I'll try another version 2016.12.23 which passed the check.
In app proxy hasn't been successful on my current settings.
The default apn for ee is greyed out so I made a fresh apn with localhost server, without the mms or security settings.
Update, dload folder, update.app method failed after 5%

I found a way to change dns without rooting, installed dns66 and applied ff change dns setting.
However though updater finds the right file, and I can connect, it doesn’t install. Either download fails partway, or install fails.
Is persistence the key, or should I try another file?

You have to do all the procedure mate. and i mean ALL even de-branding again to C432 because seems your provider gave you a touched C432 firmware. Which means unlock, debrand relock , update.
Now follow one of these guides on how to upgrade your phone.
use search or use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
PS: Next time your posts on guides and not on general topics

I received OTA updates bringing me to b395 Nougat. No unlock or debranding necessary

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.
