Spoof Huawei P9 as Honor 8 (for PlayStore compatibility) - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
As stated in the topic I want to spoof my (rooted) Huawei P9 (EVA-L09) as an Honor 8 because of play store incompatibility of the P9 for Galaxy on Fire 3.
I already tried by editing the built.prop file and changing ro.product.model, ro.product.name, ro.product.device and ro.build.product from the original value “generic_a15” to “FRD” which I found in a built.prop file of an Honor 8 for the ro.product.model attribute (honestly I don’t even know if it’s really correct).
But after rebooting the device nothing has changed (still the same model description “EVA-L09” in the Android properties).
Can someone help me out? What am I doing wrong?
Regards

Hi,
it seems that on all current Huawei phones the model name in the build.prop is a placeholder ("generic_a15").
But if not in this file - where do I have to adjust the model name?
Regards

Can't find how to activate fingerprint after update

Hi,
I have a Honor 5C (NEM-L51), it has been updated through OTA a couple of times, after the last update to NEM-L51C432B355(EMUI- 5.0 and Android 7), I cannot find the way to activate the fingerprint, there used to be an option in Settings to do it, but now it has disappeared.
How do I do it now?
Help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Same i have the honor 5c with the fingerprint i think it's the chinese version because the european version have NFC instead of fingerprint so they probably updated our chinese honor 5C with the European Update
i did not have find how to fix that sorry :/
I have seen some posts telling you something about a permission file that needs deleting. I'll see if I can find them...
Yep, there are posts on
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5c/help/fingerprint-sensor-t3618035/page1
about this. I have a nem-al10 rebranded to nem-l51 but I haven't tried it myself. The instructions are
"For activate fingerprint sensor in emui 5 (if it available):
1. with twrp get root;
2. In "\hw_oem\etc" rename or delete folder "permissions" (or rename/delete folder "etc"), I renamed to "p_ermissions" with ES Explorer;
3. reboot phone - in Setting will be available fingerprint."
I think people are buying Chinese phones cheaply, rebranding them and reselling them here which is why this problem occasionally crops up.

I think you wrote the oposite. The European version doesn't have NFC and have fingerprint scanner.

No, I agree that the Chinese version has fingerprint and no NFC. You are probably thinking of the honor 7 lite rather than the honor 5c nem-l51. The 7 lite has scanner and is the European version too

Can I change firmware from Chininese to European

Hi There,
I bought Huawei P9 plus in china in Dec 16, model no: VIE-AL10. I continually update the Chinese firmware on it, when the phone requests a new one is available. However I get fed up that there are still some features I can't access as I don't understand chinese and also I don't have a chinese registered mobile no. to access some of the Huawei faciilities.
Can I change the firmware to a European version? and if so how do I go about this. I'm not very savvy when it comes to mobiles so a simple step by step process would be appreciated . What are the main differences between the two firmwares which you think I will benefit from?
thanks
andy
On XDA, 'support' for P9 Plus is much less than for P9 (there are procedures to debrand P9 and install EU cust c432, wherefrom you can install custom ROMs for P9, etc).
If you google for e.g. XDA VIE-AL10, you can find some threads about installing TWRP and rooting the Chinese P9 Plus, you may further ask there
TG, I have P9 EVA-L09 which is best 'supported' (with L19)
