Formatted system need help - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

So I stupidly formatted the system when I was trying to upgrade from b383 to b388 iv tried everything to get it to work again. I extracted the system.img and tried to fastboot it but it fails iv tried huawei dload method but all I get is a red !. I relocked boot loader also to see if that will help with dload method. So if anyone can help I'd much appreciate it.

Second hand P7 Seems Bricked

Hey Guys,
I picked up a second hand P7 last night, when booting I get stuck in the Huawei logo loop.
I can get into recovery, there doesn't seem to be an update.app for the recovery to load. I get greeting with " THERE IS NO UPDATE.APP" and a lovely fail image
Having trouble getting into the bootloader/fastboot aswell, I have managed it once but cant recreate! The bootloader says it was unlocked though.
I guess this is a tough question, but what is the best thing for me to do?
try to get into fastboot mode (hanging ascend logo)..
flash a boot.img and recovery.img of the desired firmware (try the b621 for p7-L10)..
then take a fresh formatted sdcard and put dload folder with the update.app of b621 on it and do a force update (3btn method)..
the whole process is described several times in this forum
good luck
Gesendet von meinem Mate S CRR-L09 B145
Just gave it a go with B609, no good. I actually can't get into recovery now
Any other ideas/ versions to try? Thanks for your advice!
Also just tried B830, no joy either booting or getting into recovery!
B135 lets me get to recovery, with the UPDATE.APP on sd card It fails ...
OK, So after trying flashes of 135,609,621,830 and 839 I tried 121.
It worked, I also needed to flash system.img (not sure why)
Now I just need to update all the way back to the top!

Forced recovery stuck at 5%

Hey all. I was trying to rollback my P9 to a stock ROM, but it failed and now I am stuck with a bricked P9 (bootloop).
My phone is a European P9 (EVA-L09C432). I have an unlocked bootloader.
- Huawei eRecovery and HiSuite restore does not work.
- I've tried forcing the update using the SRK Tool brick utility, but receive the message "FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)" when it's strats writing 'system'.
- My TWRP backup does not work, I had a 7GB backup that installs fine, but the phone is still stuck in a bootloop.
- I can flash EVA-L09C432B378 ROM using the SRK brick utility fine, but the phone is still stuck in a bootloop.
- After I have installed B378 and try to force flash B136 using the dload method, it either gets stuck on the "going into restore mode" or it goes to the "installing package" screen, where it is stuck at 5% until it reboots.
Any suggestions?
try one more time install rollback package by download mode
I've tried. Several times, all day :crying: My process:
Write TWRP from fastboot so I can boot into TWRP and transer UPDATE.app to the dload folder
Reboot into fastboot
Write stock recovery image from fastboot
Boot into recovery mode
Get stuck at 5% on the "Installing update" screen.
I've tried the UPDATE.app or firmware B136 (stock), and UPDATE.app for B378 (Nougat)
Both get stuck at 5%.
I'm stuck at the bootloop
isn't srk tool only for MM?
maybe try extract recovery , boot and system partition from b378 and flash by fastboot , next start flash rollback package by download mode
I noticed when I tried to restore my backup using TWRP it failed at "vendor" (Failed to wipe vendor). I receive this issue at vendor and product.
I tried using fastboot to flash vendor and product manually, I receive these error messages:
"failed: remote command not allowed"
The phone won't allow me to write vendor and product.img... but my bootloader was unlocked?
Is it possible I could have relocked my bootloader? How am I supposed to get the bootloader code for my P9 again :/ It's nearly impossible.
I managed to use the recovery dload method to install a beta version of B378 (build number NRD90M test-keys). Will now try to use the recovery method to roll back to B136 and update back to B378 again.

HELP! cannot dload error at 5% . Debranding problem

Hello, i'm stuck and need your help.
My original rom was VIE-L09ITAC555B360 and I was trying to unbrand with srk. This tool is useless with nougat, and did not work in any step.
I've manually unlocked the bootloader, loaded twrp 3.1.1-1 supporting decryption and nougat, the oeminfo.bin and tried to installo the stock rom VIE-L09C432B373 unsuccessfully.
I tried to run update.zip and update_full_VIE-L09_hw_eu.zip in twrp, but I was stuck on errors. Somewhere I read I was required to wipe system data vendor cache etc... So the data partition is now unencrypted.
After I read about the dload procedure, but it stops at 5%. I've formatted a 16gb sd card from samsung created the dload folder and copied update.app. when i run the procedure with the volume up + volume down + power it starts and stops at 5%. Same result with dload on internal sdcard and without any dload at all. Always stops at 5% with errors.
How can I recover? I tryed to fastboot flash the system.img from update.app but still problems.
Please help!
***edit***
Finaly the dload recovery worked using VIE-L09C432B360 firmware.
Why did it failed with VIE-L09C432B370 and VIE-L09C432B373?

B373 is not approved by Huawei
But now you can get B376 from FF (Works perfect with proxy update)
Yes, now I'm on B376
It's so strange I could not dload directly neither the B370 rom.
I had to downgrade to B181 to get the update menu appear again and after that I've upgraded to B360, B370 and finally to B376
here how to fix it :

Please help unbrick my phone

I have bricked my phone after Magisk install fail.
I first unlocked bootloader succesfully
then i installed twrp succesfully
then i flashed magisk using twrp - this failed and sent device to erecovery. (which won't find package)
i used twrp to wipe data, now i was able to boot, and it installed like a fresh EMUI. However, almost all apps were broken- could not download themes/camera shut down etc.
To fix this, i wanted to restore to stock and did the following: download update package for my VTR-L09 of EMUI b175 (I was on b162 before), used Huawei Update Extractor to extract files and flashed BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG. This was done without error.
Now my phone won't boot at all. I am stuck at the 'your device can't be trusted' screen. I cannot go into recovery. When I connect via USB, I hear the chime in Windows but I can't seem to connect with ADB.
What to do now?? Am I hard-bricked? I hope that anyone knows how to deal with my phone bricked like this. Please help me to solve this issue.
Best of wishes.
Edit: I am able to enter forced recovery, however updates fail at 5%.
I am also able to fastboot with USB, however I am unsure what to do next.
I unbricked my phone! Many thanks to who ah way and his solution found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-unbricking-p10-using-hwota-windows-t3714416
:victory:
why are you doing it when you dont understand it?
You cannot flash part of B175 firmwar eover B162 firmware.. OMG.
use the HWOTa to go back to stock and please stop playing with the device without propper knowledge
