P9 Plus: Bad Flash, can't get around it

Hey everyone,
So I got a P9 Plus and I tried to force the Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 update on it, it didn't work..probably because I made a mistake which I'm unaware of.
Problem is, I'm away from home and I don't have the Box with me with the bootloader code, which means I can't really do it again right?
I tried using DC unlocker 2 and DC Pheonix but both failed, when I got to the eRecovery menu and tried to update from there (I used a B103 build, pasted in a dload folder on the SDcard) it says can't install update or something like that, my build before everything was VIE-L09C900B181, can't seem to find a stock ROM for that build (I gotta mention I'm really new to all of this when it comes to phone stuff, I'm used to work with CMD and Linux but this is territory unknown for me lol). Any advice? What can I do? When I try to restore it or force a factory reset it also says "Reset failed" right away...I'm lost you guy....PLEASE HELP ME

First of all if u have a P9 Plus and search for firmware in the p9 forum you are in the wrong place.
Did u ever made an OTA? I think dload tries the internal storage first so maybe this is why your dload attempt did not work - try formatting internal storage with fastboot (dont know if u can)
Basically you just have to find the right firmware. Maybe you need to downgrade first.
But again you are in the "P9" forum so you are probably wrong since you are talking about an "P9 Plus".

My bad, guess I didn't do enough research to see that there was a P9 Plus section, sorry about that.
An OTA? Sorry like I said I'm pretty new to this, I had the build that ends with 181 and I tried using the 103 build but I always get errors, can't seem to find a 181 build online to download.
Thanks for the reply by the way

Try dc-phoenix but be careful with factory flash. avoid it if you don't have all partitions backed up.
I had to flash it with factory soft and now i stuck with unbricked phone but not being able to make phone calls

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?

p10 lite bricked

Hello there,
Hope is not a dupped issue, I readed a lot in your forum and found nothing in there.
Yes, I bricked my brand new p10 lite messing around with it, here is my scenario right now:
I'm only able to boot to erecovery or the force flash (the vol+ plus vol- stuff)
In no one on that menus I'm able to do anything from getting errors (no rom works on the force flash part, and the erecovery drives me no where)
Seems that I'm not able to boot on fastboot, no matter what I do.
I started unlocking the boot and it worked, then flashing TWRP didn't work, at that moment the phone still booted. Then I tried to flash manually the system and boot from fastboot, and I think that is the point where I messed things.
I don't have the original rom (was WAS-LX1AC02B113), I tried mostly every rom similiar that I found on the internet with no luck so far.
Anyone knows how to "force" a rom into the force flash?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english.

To force a rom, you should download the update zip for your phone, and extract the UPDATE.app from it. Then take a sdcard, create a folder called dload on it, put the UPDATE.app there, the boor into force-update.
Or there is an easier, but paid way, FunkyHuawei, that was the only thing that worked on my phone

Thanks for the answer. Yea I do know that way, but it keep saying "update failed", no matter what rom I put into the SD card.

I read it somewhere that this method doesn't work anymore.
Then, your only chance is FunkyHuawei, I had the exact same problem.

I really appreciate your interest, but I prefer to avoid FunkyHuawei
I'll probably send it to tech support before that.
Also if they don't let you use that method... Do they put another one? Or just let us.... Uncovered?

I do have a multi-brand tech support but I need to send it to them. Probably I'll send it today, will see if they are able, or they want to fix it. I'll keep you updated, thanks for your replys .

Firmware version for P8 Lite 2017

Hello everyone i'm looking for a specific firmware, the PRA-LX1C55B120, i can't get a hold of it from FirmwareFinder, is there another source? Thanks in advance

Anyone?

https://mobiletech360.co/huawei-p8-lite-2017-stock-firmwarerom-android-7-nougat-pra-lx1/
there is a link for c55b183 but even though you download it, i doubt that you can use the dload or twrp to install the firmware.

Thanks for the answer, but i already can get that from FirmwareUpdater, the one i need is the B120, which is on FU, but apparently the link is broken.
Also why you say that? I think i should be capable of flashing with adb.

I haven't tried the adb method as it may screw up your phone if anything goes wrong. On the other hand I tried dload method many times but it always gave me an error. My phone was named P9Lite2017 and it was PRA-LX1 C464, so I installed PRA-LX1C432b191 via Firmware finder, and now I can't even revert back to the C464. I bricked my phone many times too but recovered it thx to erecovery. Still the phone doesn't like it when you change its firmware. Cheers

I don't know bro, erecovery saved my ass a couple of times, and whenever I screw up the system I just boot into erecovery and tap on 'Download Latest Version and Recovery'. It makes the device like new. Never faced the problem you're facing though.

Restored Stock Rom through TWRP not booting

REALLY IN NEED FOR HELP:crying:
Followed this guide youtube.com/watch?v=2tAeNZdTyeY to install Resurrection Remix on my P9 EVA-L19. After booting the phone, it is just stuck on the boot animation. I panicked and restored to the stock rom. After booting the device, it gets stuck at the "unlocked bootloader" screen.
So I tried to restore the rom through the eRecovery process but gave me an error.
So then I tried the dload process where I copy the UPDATE.APP to my SD card(FAT32) and failed. it stopped at 5% and said "Software install failed!"
I really don't know what to do next.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

There is a RR thread for P9, I'd suggesr to ask there about the RR installation and issues (these topics opened under Q&A practically nobody reads, specially not those few who know more about RR)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-t3767344
For safe reverting back to stock you should have used HWOTA method (maybe it will still work if your Bootloader is unlocked and/or you have TWRP for EMUI 5.x)

I don't know if that is possible, I know it's too late now but whenever I'm going to play with ROMs or so, I save screenshots of my Settings/About and all things like that (IMEI, etc), just in case (like this case).
Maybe you can figure out by:
- was it International cust c432, Mideast c185, or provided by some operator, see
https://www.huaweiblog.de/firmware-update-was-bedeutet-cust-emui-und-co/
- have you debranded the phone
- btw, before installing RR did you check if RR is compatible to install over your (at that time) stock ROM
- Have you installed a firmware from FirmwareFinder, by DLOAD, HWOTA or other methods
Eg, if it was c432 and if you did not manually update, it was likely b393 as the last approved build for L19

I fixed the phone! I used the link u shared about the HWOTA and followed the steps. I did a lot of research about the model number and the cust and found out on the Huawei site that my phone is the EVA-19C185. So I installed the update and it worked! Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate it.
