Hello
As indicated in the title, I have a huawei p9 L09 cust 40, the wifi and BT are not working, I don't know if it's a hw or Fw problem, so I'm trying to update to nougat or any other firmware to find out if it's a sw problem, but I've tried too many firmwares and the flashing process fails. Current firmware build number is: EVA-L09C40B196.
1- What Firmware should I use to upgrade to any other version of Marshmallow or to nougat?
2- Can I change the cust number to get more compatible firmwares and how to do so?
I've created a huawei ID inorder to unlock my bootloader, but when I try to login using this id, the site tells me that either the id or the password is wrong, while I've used this ID in my P9 without any error! what's wrong?
Regards
I had trouble with getting bootloader code too. I got my bootloader code by emailing Huawei direct through the hiCare app. Got it within 2 days. Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I'm running a Huawei P9 with a build number of L19C900B190. I am not rooted, bootloader locked. Having an insane time trying to find a way to upgrade from Marshmallow to Nougat. I can't find any other C900 firmwares, so is it impossible for me to upgrade? In my desperation I have finally resorted to opening a new thread. Which regions received the C900 firmware? I am based in Singapore.
I understand another method i can go is to unlock my bootloader, root my phone, flash another oem firmware like C636 or whatever and then upgrade to Nougat. However I am trying to find a method that can keep my warranty intact as my device is just a few weeks old. If anyone can point out a firmware i can flash Nougat for my phone type via the dload method, I would be really grateful.
Hi,
Just sharing my experiences with you.. I had the same problem as you. Tried to flash C636B190 firmware from stock firmware (which is customised by Starhub I guess Cause build number is L19 C20B150 and I can't find any info for C20 build) and end up having C900B190 installed. Regardless of how many times I reflash, build number stay with C900B190 instead of C636B190. Although I had the B190 build, but fail to install Nougat update via Hisuit.
You can try to use Hisuit and PC to update to Nougat, see either it will fall at 1% or not. No harm will occur on your phone.. I tried many times. After giving up, I just send the phone back to service center and revert back to their original firmware.. And to wait for OTA.
Good luck...
I ended up sticking with the C900B190 FW as it's a pretty stable firmware for marshmallow. I've read around and with some help, found out that only way to go to nougat is to debrand to a C636 FW and then upgrade manually.
Okay guys I'm tired. I don't understand why it won't works : I have a brand new Huawei P9, it's a Dual Sim (L19-C185). It's not branded. My current firmware version is EVA-L19-C185B170. I don't want to root or unlock if possible, I just want EMUI 5.0. I've tried to install it (mostly firmware B385, no particular reason) by using the firmware finder, by using HiSuite and by using the "dload" method. None of it worked, it always fail when it "verifies package", or when I use the "dload" method, just after (it tells that the package I've downloaded is not compatible with the version currently installed).
I don't know what to do anymore. Why do I even don't have the OTA ? Is it still deploying ? Do you see what I'm doing wrong ?
For information I've more or less followed this tutorial : http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017...gat-b385-update-emui5-middle-east-africa.html
Note : I didn't use the absolute last version of HiSuite, but almost. Can it come from there ? When I install using Hisuite and Huawei Adapter, Huawei Adaptater warn me that it coudl brick my device since I checked "custom rom" (which make me thinks that it should force the flash), HiSuite tells me that it installed successfully, but my phone just says that the package is incorrect. But it IS the correct package. I did all of this for numerous other brands, but now I don't know what to do anymore.
So, I sent the phone back.
I realized that, even if the firmware was EVA-L19-C185B170, it was actualy a TL00. I think that TL00 is specific to China Mobile (or perhaps other Chinese providers) and that they haven't develloped an official rom for this phone. On my phone, EVA-L19 was somehow flashed, and the bootloader was locked, which means that the vendor successfuly crossflashed a rom that was not intented for this model, without unlocking the phone, or by unlocking and then relocking the phone. If I believe this forum, both methods are currently unknown. However the fact that I had this phone prove that at least one of those two methods is possible. Perhaps more information can be found on the Chinese web. Knowing none of these method, and being unable to update (the low-level software somehow know that my phone is an LT00, and won't update to a firmware which isn't. No LT00 Nougat seems to exists. So I was ****ed) and not willing to unlock the bootloader to try flash without any garantee (I think that hardware are the same, so flashing a L19 Nougat should be fine however), I send back the phone, and bought another, which seller garanteed me it was a L19.
If you run into the same issues, Good luck.
Same Issue with Me
I have been trying to find an upgrade. And my phone is on same firmware as you mentioned. Even I have bought it online from China, and i suppose I am facing the same problem, about it being an original TL00, but tweaked to L19.
I cant send the phone back as i reside in another country!!
Any possible solutions you may suggest?
Can anyone please help with the same..!!
now i know why everytime i manual update my p9 plus c636b103 to higher firmware is making it c900. its because my p9 plus is locked to its network carrier and the network smart is not releasing the ota for p9 plus. i have a vendor of smart country ph.,
pls bare to read as your knowledge/experience will help alot not only to me but to the future whom might get the same questions as mine. pls answer every questions./problems i have encountered thank you.
Q:#1 as i understand i think i need to do the debranding?? to unlock my p9 plus from my network, at first it made me so confused because my sim is unlocked i can use any sim. but then i realized its still locked in system updates from smart ph.
Q:#2 do i need to unlock bootloader install twrp and root the p9 plus first before contiunuing to the vdo of debranding?
Problem: #1, i dont fully understand the vdo of droidth in debranding the unit. i got lost of understanding in the changing of ro. build. id something like that. i tried to do the extracting the verlist but when i open the extracted verlist. img in notepad i only get random letters and symbols(ex. b&+g~), but in the video i should see vie/nxtc636b***. so i really got lost.
Problem: #2. i know i need the unlock code from huawei website.before i can unlock bootloader and i already get a code but the problem is i forgot to right it down as i only txted it to my number which i also use in my p9plus and i factory reset my p9 plus when i install back to c636b103 because if i dont factory reset after install b103 i got null imei, camera crashes, internal storage none. but after factory reset its ok.
so how am i gonna get a code again? is it still possible to get the code again? can someone pls put the link? thx.
thank you.
your reply will be much appreciated.
Yes, you need to debrand your phone and install the generic firmware for your region (for example, c432 firmwares for europe). In order to do this, you need unlocked bootloader and twrp. Root is optional, it depends on how you want to change the OEMinfo. For the unlock code I think you can ask it again to huawei in the same way you asked for it the First time. For problem#1, sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about because I didn't use that guide. Maybe try to root the phone and then edit the file directly on it with somethin like root explorer.

can i use any firmware in debranding? and should i first go back to b103? i have frimwares here b180 b190 b170 b130 b362.. all ar3 c636, what should i use? and can i do now the debranding process even if im still on c900b180?
Since you are on C900, I believe your cust is broken. Read here: https://www.google.it/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/how-to-change-cust-c900-c432-t3392824/amp/ note: it's about p9, don't download or flash anything from there.
Now if you want you can try these steps:
1- unlock bootloader (if it's still locked)
2- install twrp
3- flash via twrp the attached file (ONLY if your phone is supposed to be L29-C636, which I believe it is)
4- install a C636 firmware with DLOAD metod
Now you should be on C636 firmware with a debranded phone.

Bootloop doesn't happen by itself - to get help you must describe which stock/custom firmware you had, were you flashing another firmware and which or trying to root, or you were changing something under root before it started to happen
Solution to unbrick highly depends on the firmware, etc - for firmware is needed full model, cust and number
Btw, does it boot to Fastboot, EMUI Recovery (or you flashed custom Recovery TWRP) or eRecovery?
The Phone model is Eva l19.
The software is shown în The video
The bootloader is unlocked and s-o is The frp.
I tried various versions of The software but The result was The same. Using The method update.app it was working to 5%, The says 6% and then back 5 % and then erron instalation.

Too small and not sharp - can you write what is your firmware version on your phone
Eva-l19c432b388
You say you were installing various firmwares - if you did, specially if you maybe combined various custs, then it was a road to mess
I would suggest you to carefully study posts OP #1 and #2 from HWOTA7 thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
Forget (at the moment - later you could do if you wish but once you solve your Nougat) about changing cust and upgtading to Chinese Nougat.
Use the HWOTA7 method instead to change the cust/location to c432 (to clean up) and to install one of the latest FullOTA-MF stock firmwares, eg L19c432b505 or so
Be careful, use L19 only if your P9 is dual SIM, otherwise must be L09
Follow every detail (but adapted to your case), including Factory Reset and Wiping Cache at the end
I tried this method but i can't recover bootloader Code because hcu client doesn't work on my pc.
Win 10 64 bit.
Could you conect to my pc and help ME fix my Phone?
Hello to all fellow mate 20 lite users,
I have questions regarding to firmware update, I have mate 20 lite SNE-LX1 C461 with the update of december and current build number for my device is 8.2.0.105, as I saw with Finder Firmware For Huawei, there is 8.2.0.132 version available for my device, is it safe to download and install firmware from Finder Firmware, and if anybody had tried such procedure on their device?
I tried yesterday and there was no problem. Check if the firmware is the correct one for your device. Use te Erecovery metod.

How can I check that?
Chose the update version, scroll down to the bottom and click: check firmware access- check availability and if it matches your model it will say "Firmware approved for instalation". If it says "Firmware not approved" tap a different update pakage. When you find the proper pakage use the steps shown in erecoveri update
Don't update if is not approved!!!
You must NOT to update your Mate if is not approved by Finder Firmware. Please be aware!
Hello, how can someone tell me how to use firmware finder? I do what I have read to put the proxy in the localhost wifi and the port 8080 and it connects to the WiFi but it tells me that I have no connection
The phone is Vodafone company in case it can be the cause
