Hope someone can help me out here. Here's what happened:
1. Bricked my phone after downgrading firmware
2. Unable to load and stuck on Huawei logo
3. Can't enter recovery with the vol up + power buttons
4. Only can boot into bootloader with vol down + power buttons
5. Used DC Unlocker to view all the required info to generate unlock code - IMEI, Serial no., etc.
6. Retrieved code generated from Huawei site and Product ID Generator
7. Tried unlocking bootloader with SRK tool or manually via fastboot but it kept showing - fastboot oem unlock *my unlock code* > FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).
8. Reinstalled USB driver and tried again but still the same error
I've also tried dload with the stock update.app downloaded from official Huawei site and the 3 buttons combination (vol up + vol down + power) doesn't work at all.
I'm not sure what else I can do now. Hope someone can be able to help. Thanks in advance.
Update: after struggling for a few weeks trying to unbrick the P9 and my local Huawei service center tried to charge me for at least $400 and claimed that they need to change the board to fix it, DC Phoenix was able to sort my problem out with 15 Euros. It was well worth it and I got my P9 back to working state again.
Here's what I realized happened to my phone before it was bricked. All partitions were corrupted due to a bad update.app or possibly due to a bad cable (noticed it was torn up like one of those apple cables).
DC Phoenix - You don't have to worry if your bootloader or FRP is still locked. It'll use a backdoor to write every partition from a stock .app firmware file and that's pretty neat.
Lesson learnt and to anyone who's trying to root, downgrade, flash or fiddle with anything on your Huawei, enable your OEM unlock in developer options or you'll get a hard time trying to unbrick if anything goes wrong.
Revived: Huawei P9 (EVA-L19)
I've gone through that before, but ended up using DC-Phoenix to unbrick it when it's FRP and bootloader locked. Cost me about $15. There is a post on how to do this but I'll have to search for it again.
Here is the post I used:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71767614&postcount=7
This was done using a EVA-L09 phone.
Thanks for the information @benjamen50. I've considered using DC Phoenix too but that software doesn't look too assuring.
I'll update once I have the time to try DC Phoenix.

It works 100%. I had to use it too to unbrick my device good luck
I was stuck on same scenario, have cell under warranty and things normal after submitted to service center, but before went to service center, i searched over the internet, you just de-brand your cell and all things will be normal
May I ask, how and where did you get the unlock code?

The code is generated from a combination of model, product serial number, IMEI and product ID. Here are the steps to get all those details:
Head to this site - https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/detail
Login or signup if you don't have an account. Under 'unlock' page there's a form you'll need to fill
On your device:
Go to Settings > Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking
IMEI and serial number can be found in Settings > About > Status
Dial *#*#1357946#*#* to get your product ID
Fill in all these details in the form on emui site and it'll generate an unlock code for your device.

Hi there,
I have a bricked ALE-L04, rooted with KingRoot without unlocking bootloader.
It worked well, until I flashed custom recovery. After that, when the phone rebooted it keeps complaining about modified recovery image with bootloader in locked state.
Since then (15 days ago) I'm asking at [email protected] for the unlocking code, with no answers (more than 10 mails already)
I have several issues when trying to get the code by entering at:
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
It needs a 16 characters Serial Number, and the phone and the box tells a 12 chars S/N
Removing the back cover I've found a 16 chars code printed inside, and thought it would be THE serial number.
When using this 16 code, it says that serial number and IMEI are mismatched.
It's so frustrating. Trying with another ALE-L04 (one that is working), I have the same problems...
If someone has any ideas, or any chance to get direct contact with huawei (they don't answer the mails), please help me
You doesn't need Huawei to email an unlock code for you.
You can get it from here, straight away: http : // emui . huawei . com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
1. Download this Product ID generator and extract it somewhere: https : // drive . google . com/open?id=0B303_1pmtlHIdDVFb0llMGU3bjQ
2. Open it up, select the model HUAWEI C8812 (it should be already selected), type in your IMEI, and voila, you got your Product ID(8-digit number)
3. Go to this link: http : // emui . huawei . com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail and fill it out with your details.
4. You'll get your unlocking code straight away.
I managed to get my phone unlocked via this method.
Sorry for the links, i'm not allowed to post them, only this way.
Thank you for your answer!
I just tried again using the model you told, and same results:
SN and IMEI are mismatched
Do you know where can I get the 16 digits serial number? It's not on the box, nor in the phone neither.
You can find both of these numbers in the phone itself.
Go to Settings > About phone > Status and scroll down, the IMEI and the Serial number should be on the bottom.
If you have multiple SIM slots, then use the first IMEI number.
If it still says mismatched, then try other phone types.
Also, the Product ID generator tells me a different Product ID than my phone, but I was able to get the right unlock code via that number...
I also read somewhere, that some Huawei devices can be unlocked via the fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU command too. It's worth a try.
Thank you!
The problem is that the serial number is 12 digits only, it's not 16 and the unlock page doesn't like it.
By the way, I have a brick, and can't look into system settings because the phone doesn't boot up.
I've tried the UUUUU.. thing but this is the result:
Code:
$ fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
...
FAILED (remote: Invalid key,unlock fail)
finished. total time: 0.134s
Still waiting more help! thank you very much for your time bro!
I've looked up few hits on the google, and seems you're not the only one with this problem.
In the Product ID generator app, you can find several phone models. Try each one of them and copy that Product ID onto the Unlock Code Request page with the same device selected there as in the program.
It'll take some time to get each one checked but I have no better solution.
Just for the record.. I have access to another p8 lite ALE-L04 and both have printed in the inside (removing the back cover) this:
1873UIF421X0xxxx
where xxxx are different.
And this doesn't match any code from the phone or in the box neither.
What I can't do:
The phone doesn't start
I can't look in the phone any data (serial, product ID, etc), because it doesn't start
I can't flash anything, because the bootloader is locked and don't allow me

Unfortunately, the link for the unlock code site requires a phone # check and it's only for a few countries (NOT the US). The email signup page just doesn't work (presumably because I'm trying to sign up from a US web address). You can enter an email, password, veri code, but dead link, just doesn't go anywhere, so this is not usable, unfortunately. Not now anyway.

Hey Hey hey. Remove that, quickly. NEVER show your IMEI or SN on the internet. Do it via pm
Recently I tried to debrand my P9 (EVA-AL10) with SRK-Tools, but something went wrong and my phone booted into E-Recovery. I tried to restore the phone via E-Recovery but during the download it gave an error and it won't let me download the firmware. So I downloaded the EVA-AL09 firmware from the internet and flashed it via dload. Everything went fine but when I tried to unlock the bootloader with dc-unlocker it only sayd unknown response. I tried to unlock the bootloader via the official emui site but it only sayd that the account has not been used more than 14 days on the phone. So I emailed Huawei support and they said I schoud send them my phone data. I did so but they only replied that my phone doesn't come from the state where I life in and they can't do anything. So im now stucked with a locked bootloader. Can I do anything? Like install an other firmware or unlock the bootloader in an other way ?
I also can't unlock my bootloader. When using the DC-unlocker to read the code, did you enter manufacture mode first? (Enable "manufacture mode" on your phone. This is done by entering in dial pad code *#*#2846579#*#*, select "Project Menu", "Background settings", "USB ports settings", "Manufacture mode". Then connect it to PC and install drivers)
I was able to get the code from Huawei, but when I try to enter fastboot command to unlock I get "Failed: password wrong"
I used the code from Huawei and it worked for me. On EVA-L09 though. Did you make sure you entered the details correctly to request the bootloader unlock code from huawei?
Strangely it wored now just fine with dc unlocker and I was able to root l.

I must have entered the information in 4 different times, both in English and Chinese site. I get the same code each time. I even rolled back to MM and requested. Same code each time. Not sure what else I could be doing wrong.
Edit/update: I tried to unlock with DC Unlocker and it worked. The code that DC Unlocker gave me was different from the official Huawei site.
Hi
I have a BIG problem with my P10 (L29C432) on Oreo 365.
Tried downgrade to nougat through Firmware Finder but update failed. Now i have this warning at every reboot.
I have LOCKED bootloader (never rooted phone). And i cant get bootloader unlock code (website not working).
Also cant enter fastboot mode because of that error.
Is there anyway to RESTORE phone with locked bootloader? I have tried to flash previous firmware with sdcard method (hold power,+,- keys) but update fails everytime.
Is there other way to flash new firmware?
I can use phone but at every reboot i get this message?
If there is no other way to flash new firmware than with unlocked bootloader... Where to get code for unlocking bootloader?
Thanks.
Edit:
I can enter fastboot mode but my bootloader is locked.
you have to unlock bootloader by sending all the needed info per email.
you need to send them IMEI, model version, S/N number, and product id and request for bootloader unlocking code this email: [email protected]
next time read about how to rollback to nougat...
Thank you. So I need to unlock bootloader.
Will try to get code.

If you don't have your "product id", you can't have the code for unlock the bootloader :/
The "Product ID" is a code into the system info on android :s
I am waiting for code from Huawei. They will send me code in next days...
you can get product id on imei24. com by typing your imei.
Now i have another problem. I think phone is "dead" now. Unuseable.
Tried to root phone and now nothing works.
Phone does not recognize SIM card at all.
If I go into settings and system information there is no IMEI number?
Can i restore this?
Or need to take it to service center? Or dead phone?
send the device against wall. Buy another one and forget averything about rooting and unlocking bootloader. Its for your safety, trust me.
I have experience with rooting and flashing phones (Sony). Never had problem.
So there is no way to restore phone?
maybe in repair store. Never heard about bricked device without imei. You can still try to flash original firmware.
Hello, I wanted to install a custom rom + kernel on my girlfriend's Huawei because she is having battery issues. Coming from a Samsung device I thought that unlocking the bootloader would have been easy but oh my I was wrong. Now that Huawei's unlocking site is closed is there a way to get the bootloader code without buying DC-unlocker? I know it's cheap but I don't find it fair. Thank you

For rebranding one must flash oeminfo from the other cust
It can be done manually from TWRP (but to flash TWRP you must have unlocked Bootloader) or some tools (like SRK?) can execute for you, but hidden into the batch file
Anyway, to be able to flash things, Bootloader must be unlocked and for that you must have Bootloader code
So I'm really puzzled if/how that batch tool can circumvent unlocking the Bootliader - have you tried yourself, with the Bootloader locked and without its code?

It seems like that tool is able to extract the bootloader code (I don't know if you have to flash oeminfo, if so, it would be pretty useless). I'll certainly try it as soon as my girlfriend has time.

Please confirm here if the tool can 'extract' Bootloader code
Btw, I think I used SRK year and more ago, it just asks user to type in the Bootloader code (so you must know the code)
(Later on I learnt to use ADB and Fastboot and since then I rather have control in my hands than using batch tools...)
Only if that is now a new version of the tool that can 'exteact' the code by itself - but that will be a sensation, just take a look around, everywhere/everybody knows that people must pay mere 4 Euros to get Bootloader code but here you have a tool that can do it money and hassle free, and nobody being aware of

Just as was described to be in posts #3 and #5 above - there is no (free) magic tool to circumvent unlocking Bootloader with the required Bootloader code
Only DC Unlocker tool - for 4 Euros to obtain Bootloader code (since Huawei stopped providing for free)
DC Phoenix can do it too but in the combination with unbricking (more expensive)
Hello i bought used huawei mobile phone . the seller told me that its huawei p9 plus on the back of cover i found this info (model EVA-L19 FCC ID : QISEVA-L19 IC: 6369A-EVAL19) which mean its p9 .. but when look to info about phone i found this (VIE-C900B150) VIE -- when connect to my pc via HiSuite the model number shown was VIENNA ; VIENNA is p9 plus ? so help me to know
There is only "Huawei" on the front and back, no model.
They are visibly different in dimensions and weight - Plus, as the name says is bigger:
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7745&idPhone2=7972
i measured the screen size and it was 13.4 cm = 5.2 inch .. that mean its p9 .... but is it possible to run p9 plus software on p9 ??
other question the camera and wifi no working ... android 6 and emui 4.1.1 ?
It's strange that VIE firmware runs on EVA, that it was not bricked (not just camera and wifi).
They have same chipset, so maybe.
EMUI 4 is ancient, and c900 cust was used for rollback in some cases - who knows what happened with your phone in the past and which idiot flashed a wrong firmware and then sold the phone
You would need Bootloader code to properly brand it back to EVA.
If you are not familiar with methods for flashing Huawei phones, you better sell it further or buy DC Phoenix credits and ask for instructions to use their tools (they will also provide you BL code and instruct how to use them):

No, there are only more expensive providers than DC Phoenix
Huawei stopped providing BL codes (they did for free) a year ago.
Actually, for their new models (DC Phoenix does not support them) it's more and more complicated and expensive:
You have to open the phone, short the Testpoints pins, provide TeamViewer on-line acces to your PC and pay almost 40 bucks just to obtain the BL code - on the other side, for the old P9, for half of that price and without opening the phone, you get BL code and unbrick P9 with DC Phoenix.
If you wanted to flash for free, you had to buy Xiaomi or so, Huawei is trying to bacome 'closed' like Apple ;-(

VIE is P9 Plus
EVA is P9
L09 is single SIM
L19 is dual SIM
c900 is some kind of test/rollback cust, there are no Nougat/EMUI 5 firmwares with c900, only OLD MarshMallow/EMUI 4
To rebrand from c900 to c432 (European) or c185 (Middle East) or to any other cust, you will NEED UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
Also to rebrand from L09 to L19 or vise versa.
However, P9 L09 and L19 are little diff in hardware, L09 does have NFC but not dual SiM reader
L19 has no NFC but it has dual SIM reader
Believe me, three of us experimented for weeks, trying MM and Nougat firmwares - we did rebrand software from L09 to L19, but never got it recognzed the second SIM
(P9 Lite, P10, Mate 9 can be rebranded from L09 to L19, to really work as dual SIM, but P9 single SIM cannot become dual SIM)
Finally, people never rebrand from P9 to P9 Plus, or from P9 Lite to P9, etc - it makes no sense because of different hardware.
Generally, it would brick the phone
But, P9 and P9 Plus have the same chipsets, and similar hardware, and dome of their firmwares were cross-compared and found to have the ame kernel, ramdisk, recovery
So probably, previous owner of your P9 phone flashed P9 Plus firmware without bricking the phone- your phone boots but Camera and WiFi do not work
---
Anyway, I think that you need to rebrand from VIE-L09c900 to EVAL09c432, because your phone, by dimensions is P9, not P9 Plus.
So only with EVA things will really work, and with c432bor c636nor so, you will have latest available Nougat/EMUI 5
Proper "rebranding" means:
- with TWRP, (on your phone) to restore OEMInfo from e.g. EVA-L09c432 (backed up on such a phone)
- for that, you first have to flash TWRP
- to be able to flash TWRP, you need to have unlocked Bootloader and FRP
- to unlock Bootloadet, you must have Bootloader code
For anything else you want to do, like DLOAD flashing firmwares (it doesn't require unlocked Bootloader) you can do on your own - I will not 'assist' you because Im pretty sure that only by DLOAD, without proper rebranding, you cannot make it back to EVA.
You can only make things worse - full brick, bootloop
In that case, please spend your own time to search and learn about DLOAD, models, custs, FullOTA-MF-PV, FirmwareFinder, etc
---
You can just do the following test:
Boot to Fastboot, does it show green Phone and FRP locked, or red Phone and FRP unlocked?
In Fastboot, execute commands and provide back their results, to see on the 'low' level what the phone knows about his current software
Code:
fastboot devices
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-product-model
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-build-number
PAUSE
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
PAUSE
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
@befine You should also test following (before doing anything else):
In settings - "About phone" click 7 times on the "Build-Number" until the message appears: "You have successful enabled Developer Options".
Then go back to settings - "Developer Options" and check, if you have there:
- Oem Unlock.
Try to enable OEM Unlock. If it is possible, then you could unlock the Bootloader - which is the main important thing to change the wrong Firmware to the right one, exactly how @zgfg explained it in the previous postings.
If Oem Unlock is greyd out and you cannot enable Oem Unlock with the switch-button - then there is no chance to correct the device!
Without Oem Unlock enabled it is even not possible to unlock the Bootloader (even if you already would have the code).
But if you can enable "OEM Unlock" - then enable also
1) ADB Debugging in charging mode
2) USB Debugging (in this order, otherwise ADB Debugging will not stay enabled)
In case, this three options are enabled - I could send you a personal message with a User Name and password. With this information (it would be a gift for you) you could use HCU Client (which is the Best Software by DC Unlocker/DC Pheonix) to read the Bootloader Code from the phone.
But first you have to check, what I told you. In case, it is possible, you will also get a detailed guide how to do the steps to change your phone from the wrong VIE Firmware to the right EVA Firmware.
Without all those steps, there is no chance. You could flash what you want with dload, but without any effect (you cant get camera etc. to work on a wrong oeminfo, which does not match the real phone) In the worst case you would brick your phone completely.
The seller of your phone flashed a wrong "oeminfo" to the phone (VIE instead of EVA). This should be corrected after opening the boot loader (and I would tell you how to do).
The other possibility is, just give the phone back to the seller and get your money back. Because in this state it is useless.

You can just do the following test:
Boot to Fastboot, does it show green Phone and FRP locked, or red Phone and FRP unlocked?
In Fastboot, execute commands and provide back their results, to see on the 'low' level what the phone knows about his current software
Code:
fastboot devices
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-product-model
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-build-number
PAUSE
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
PAUSE
fastboot getvar vendorcountry

All are VIE, from meafnaf you were probably on c185
Bootloader says locked (unfortunately as expected) - can you ask the seller if he can give Bootlloader code to you (somebody in the previous life flashed that phone and he must have had BL code, at that time it was easy and free to obtain)
Still two questions:
1) Please click 7 times to Build number in Settings/System/About as @Tecalote explained, then open Developer Options menu.
Do you see there Enable OEM unlock option, can you enable it - or option is missing or greyed out?
If you can enable it, then when you boot to Fastboot you will see on the bottom of the phone screen, FRP unlocked in red.
If FRP cannot be unlocked, then it requires HCU Client
2) You measured display size. To double-check, measure also phone length and height, do they correspond to the dimensions of P9 or P9 Plus (check post #2, gsmarena comparison sheet)
3) Btw, do you have two cameras on the back, printed Leica - check device photos on gsmarena.
And in the Settings, can you enable/disable NFC?
And btw, in Settings/Storage, what does it say for Internal memory size, 32 or 64 GB?

@befine You should also test following (before doing anything else):
In settings - "About phone" click 7 times on the "Build-Number" until the message appears: "You have successful enabled Developer Options".
Then go back to settings - "Developer Options" and check, if you have there:
- Oem Unlock.

So if dimensions are 5.71 x 2.79 mm, then must be P9.
For P9 Plus and for P9 L09, NFC should be there and work, maybe you don't have due to inappropriate firmware flashed.
That means, you will need OEMInfo for EVA L09 c185 or c432
If you see two IMEIs in Settings/About, then L19 (dual SIM, no NFC)
