Need help fixing phone - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Good day. I have the Huawei P9 EVA-L09 model and my build number is C432B386.
I tried rooting my phone a couple of months ago and failed, so I gave up. Yesterday I tried flashing TWRP, it said it was successful, but while trying to enter it, I always get the "Your device can't be trusted... Your device is booting now." I completely gave up on rooting or flashing another ROM so I went to relock my bootloader. It was successful, but while the factory reset part, I got an error in eRecovery (Package download failed or something like that) and after that I restarted my phone and it was factory reseted. My problem is, eRecovery now says that my partition is heavily damaged and needs a wipe. So I tried doing that and it failed again. Now I'm left with a Huawei P9 that doesn't have any stock apps and I can't activate bluetooth (and who knows what else doesn't work but I haven't discovered yet)
If anyone could help, I would be grateful. I don't even know where to start fixing this. I just want my phone back or the MagicRainbow v3 ROM, but I'm not skilled enough to fix this alone.

I am just a beginner, too, so maybe you should wait for more experienced answers...
I would try to find the original images and flash them via fastboot. As far as I understand it, this would fix the corrupted partition.
But again, I still have little knowledge and an almost bricked phone!

The partition is fixed, thank you. But I still have a lot of problems. My bluetooth won't work and I no longer have any stock apps. I don't know what to do...

Could you tell we, which ROM you have installed? Is it the stock-ROM, or MagicRainbow? If it is a custom ROM you might need a gapps-package like in LineageOS...
If you want to get back to stock, you can create a dload folder in your sdcard and put the update app in it. Than a restart with a special key combination (power, vol down and vol up I believe) will install it.
I'd strongly advice you to read in this forum how to do this, as you need the right recovery corresponding to your ROM, as far as I understood.
I did this with a wrong ROM and now have a phone with no keyboard, only google voice recognition... So be careful!

I would download and install by DLOAD folder the downgrade package... Then flash a full firmware b136 or 182
But you have to be on cust c432 as far as I know.
There are a lot of info regarding dowgarde to MM. Look for it and take your time to be sure the steps to follow

VIE-L09 seems to be totally screwed!

Hey,
So i used the SRK tool to try and root my VIE-L09C40 (P9 Plus)
Something seemed to happended during the rooting procedure and when i entered e-recovery it said it had to Download a new version, but couldnt connect to internet via wifi.
Any ways it seemed to work after a while but now i have no keyboard at all, so i cant literally start my phone.
it starts, boots the EMUI 5.0 logo and goes through the information a terms, i click the ok button and thats fine.
Next it tells me to sign in to my wifi, i select my wifi and when i go to type the password all i have is google voice as a keyboard, ive searched and searched but cannot find a way around it, also the frp has tripped on phone so i cannot log in to my google account without a keyboard.
How can i get around this?
do i have to flash parts of firmware?
any help would be great, i sent it away to hauwei and they say warranty void due to software!, can only assume something wrong was flashed?
Waiting for phone to be returned now, please help
I had the exact same issue last night as well. No keyboard and only an option to enter details with voice.
Ended up with an essentially bricked phone. Couldn't find any info on the problem online, so I have to improvise.
I'm starting from scratch after formatting etc. using stock oeminfo, recovery and rolling back to Marshmallow. (fingers crossed ADB will let me, because it was giving me errors before)
Will let you know if I'm successful and the steps I took.

Good luck, i did read that it might be possible to install the base firmware back to it and then update again.
Im sure we are not the only people this has happened to and if you succesfully do this, maybe consider making a full step by step guide so to help others.
Fingers crossed
:good:
Will do my best.. So far it's been a major. I've managed to flash a working stock ROM and boot up. But there are a few things to smooth out. Such as, I have no IMEI number now and the build is C900, also the bootloader is modified.
To get it to boot I had to use DC- Phoenix to flash a factory firmware(Chinese) which I had to pay for. Then I flashed a stock vie-l09c432b181 ROM over the top.
To repair the IMEI I'll have to use HCU, which I'll have to pay for as well. But that's ok. If I can get my original IMEI back, I can use the original unlock code I got earlier this year, otherwise I'll have to get a new one based on a new IMEI.
I can repair the bootloader and region code using twrp etc. so that's not a problem.
I'm actually using the phone to write his reply, so I can at least use it.
Once I have it all 100% working I'll try to put together a full step by step.
Cheers.
Well, I have a working phone. But, it'snot stable. Having trouble with mobile connection, sms, mms, 4g etc not staying connected. So wont be doing any write-ups just yet.
Not until it's stable.
I'm wanting to return it to complete stock now. And that requires trying to find an oeminfo file for C706 (New Zealand).
Will add more as I get there. Sorry.
I had the same problems. All I did is updated the phone with the firmware you want via Twrp . Be warned that it will replace the recovery back to stock. Also clear the cache and etc.
I had a similar issue with SRK tool, bootlooping, won't flash new firmwares, lost all the stock apps and diagnostic tools.
I'm now stuck on a TEST-KEYS build with no NFC or Bluetooth.
My solution was to throw the piece of junk in a drawer, forget about it and I went and bought a Pixel XL instead - a phone that is properly supported and gets updates quickly.
After much messing and a headache I finally got to c432b370
And everything back to normal

How did you succeed?
I am stuck on TEST-KEYS but I am not able to flash other roms on it. When I go to recovery, the update process stops after a while

Stuck on honor logo

Ive had this problem for ages and tried everything i can think of. hopefully by now someone has experienced the same problem and solved it.
*My phone is stuck on honor boot logo
*i can access e-recovery
*i can access stock recovery
*i can access fastboot and device is recognised on my laptop
* i can wipe cache and factory reset successully and have done many times
*i can and have used the dload (3 button method) to flash stock rom successfully
Now the problem is that although i have flashed the earliest stock rom NEM-L51C432B102 it fails saying incorrect package!!!i think this is because my phone came with B103 or B104 and you can only flash from what your phone originally had and up.
I have flashed NEM-L51C432b120 and also NEM-L51C432b130 and although it says successful it reboots and remains stuck on honor boot logo!
I have entered fastboot and i can issue commands but they all fail saying REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I can't use ADB because it doesn't recognise my device. Obviously ADB and FASTBOOT wont work because i can't access developper options and select enable USB debugging or OEM Unlock because the phone is stuck on honor boot logo.
Also my bootloader must be locked. I have the unlock code but i can't issue the command FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX because as mentioned before it says FAILED REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I have even tried flashing rollback packages(there isnt one for NEM-L51)for other models, followed by flashing stock rom for my model device.
When i bought the phone it came with either the B103 or B104 package but after months of searching i can't find on the internet.
Is my phone a lost cause??? is it hard bricked? So i am praying that there is a guru out there who can solve this very strange problem.
Many thanks in advance.

Oh well. Seriously this is the same issue my frn asked me to help. This is soo serious that we can only unbrick through update.app or else service center. Since u said dload method works but stucks device on bootlogo. U need to visit service center if under Warranty

Flash these files and it should, most probably, be fine.
use dload method as given here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
as there are many different opinions on this method of using only update.app file but thats not true and it should be all the files.
Main file - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1165/g104/v71812/f1/full/update.zip
Data file- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...1812/f1/full/hw/eu/update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
Flash both the files in order. 1st file will restore your system but then you need to have 2nd file so that apps are installed and all working fine.
After 1st file, it may reboot on its own and stuck on honor logo, reboot to recovery and then do factory reset, it will be fine.
Then let it boot to set up. Dont set your phone. Shutdown and flash the 2nd file.
boot and set up.
Good luck. Please provide feedback once done. In case of further issue, let me know and will dig more into this.

you cant follow simple instructions? you shouldnt be on this forum if youre not ready to lose data or brick your device.
Thanks for your input so far people. Much appreciated. @shashank1320 I am downloading the files you suggested and will flash them exactly according to your instructions. I will get back to you in a couple of days with the result. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately my warranty has expired. The annoying thing is that if i had sent my device off six months ago when this first happened it would still be under warranty but in the UK there is only 1 service center, yes 1, and its hundreds of miles away! So i figured i could solve it myself. You live and learn.
Hey there everyone. I still havent managed to solve the issue with my device and its not through lack of trying. I have re downloaded all of the stock firmwares that you can possibly find on the internet. I also found one ive necer seen before. Its a full service repair b355. Fingers crossed, a miracle might happen and it will just boot up like when i first bought it. to begin with tho, i'm going to start with b102 and work through them b120, b130 ,b130rollback ,b350(beta), b350, b355 and then the b355 full service repair! I also got a couple of rollback packages(around 80mb) if all else fails.
I know, i'm nuts!! Finally before i admit defeat i'm going to part with £15 to buy credits for the dc-unlocker and dcPhoenx programs. From what ive read it has a good chance of solving it. I've taken soooo long before considering this option because i think its wrong that someone(s) is making loads of money from this. Why havent huawei/honor included a similar program in hi-suite. Anyway ive gone off on a tangent.
One last question though. Strangely enough i only just thought of it recently....
Is it a necessity to have your sim card in the tray as well as the sd-card????? All this time i havent had a sim in the phone as its in a crappy old one so i can still communicate with the world!!!!
Thank you to everyone for taking your time to read this. I hope a solution is possible.

No need of sim card in tray while using dload. Just sd card is fine. Let me go through it again and try to help before you go for 15 dollars for dc phoenix

Did you flash those files i given? If not can try. Else i will have to look for other alternative
yeah i downloaded those files you had mentioned in your post and followed the instructions to the letter.
I've got a suggestion if you have tried all these above.
Can you try the following on ADB and then try to unlock OEM again.
fastboot oem relock YourUnlockCode
I've done the same and it helped, even when bootloader displayed UNLOCKED. Please try it. :good::good:

@shashank1320 Hi, i have similar problem with my NEM-L21 device... I tried to flash the Elite ROM v5.1 but i didnt succeed so i decided to restore my old rom from backup with TWRP. When i restored it it just didnt load. It was stuck on honor logo for a long time. I tried the dload method many times but nothing worked so far. I even tried unbrick it with HUAWEI Multi-tool but it also didnt worked.
Now i cant acces anything, just fastboot. I cant even turn off the device. Please can you help me somehow?

Try unlocking the bootloader again even if it is unlocked. It will factory reset the device and it should boot fine. Have stuck on this many a time and this was the method i followed.

Weird error on Honor 5C LEM-21 TWRP boots but stock recovery does not.

So, i tried flashing meticulus ROM by This guide, but it said that other version of recovery is needed which is meant for P9 lite and it should work on 5C. Then i did read that it does not work on EMUI 5.0+ and i did restore my old rom back. But the weird thing is that, my sound, microphone, video playback and nothing of those features work currently. Everything else works fine. I tried restoring OEMinfo, trying the dload method and such but nothing is making me able to downgrade. Has anyone has any similar problems before, because i checked that my OEMinfo is right but dload says "incompability with current version" so im unsure whether the problem is with the UPDATE.APP or my phone. TWRP works and i can flash things with it, but i'd rather rollback to the original ROM so i can install Lineage OS. The funny thing is that i tried flashing this multiple times but it will not boot but hangs on "Your device is booting": https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...covery-stock-recovery-download-honor-t3521504
Camera isn't working either. Tried flashing Elite ROM to see if that works, but ended up in a bootloop. eRecovery does not update via wifi because it says that "cannot get package info" or something similar.
I flashed the oeminfo zip and tried to restore old nandroid backup. Now it only boots to eRecovery and says "getting package info failed". It's not booting into fastboot either nor recovery.
Managed to get into fastboot, but can only gain access to the product ID via software i guess and cannot get key without that. So now im stuck with locked bootloader, without rom and a stock recovery that is completely useless. Does anyone know if huawei support can help me?
They can help.
But you cam try dload method. There is a quick guide in my signature for the same. let me know in case you need any further information or help

Actually there was some problems with the internal memory. Im not sure if i did damage it or did it have something to do with faulty hardware.
Anyhow it passed warranty so i did not get charged anything. Maybe i'll keep the phone as stock for a while at least

just dont blindly flash stuff thats made p9, it can work but not fully. NEVER flash anything thats made for other device.

Soft Bricked P9 L09 C150

UPDATE 2: Some things can not be fixed without proper tool. All i am left is to send it to service.
Which i did. Talked with a guy, explained and he told me he need to see it and test it with some tools. If can be fixed COOL if not i will sell it for parts and **** myself. Apperently some things need to be left to proffesionals.
PS. Will never get Huawei again
UPDATE: After trial and error i have TWRP instaled. Problem is i can't flash any rom because i got failed to mount /cust ,/vendor/ product (invalind argument) error. Also can't find stock flash rom for L09C150
Hello, i have problem with my phone, and this is 2nd night i spend working on it. Would appreciate any help!
Phone before trying to do anything: L09C150B367, Phone is from Hungary on Telekom (Pink T logo).
Tried to follow debranding guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523) because i am sick of not having updated and unlocked global version. It's been long since i did anything with android and root so i tried and found guides on XDA.
Steps i did: found code for bootloaded, unlocked bootloader with SRK tool and instaled TWRP. Downloaded C432 and placed to SD. Trying to force update with Vol+,-, and power combo but update stop after 5% and say invalid software version. Somewhere i read that root is needed. Tried to root with SRK (Couple of times and different guides), not working for some reason. Phone is still unlocked with TWRP. Read somewhere (it was 3/4 am this night) that full wipe might solve it (note, i could boot into old OS). Did full wipe on TWRP and voila, not working. Can't even log on because no OS detected. Tried to find stock firmware to flash from SD card, no luck. All links i found either don't work or my recovery have ,,not correct version" error.
Now i have unlocked bootloader, custom TWRP recovery and no OS..essencially highteck-flashy brick.
What i want: Stock unbranded EU firmware.
Ps. Only phone, i refuse to burn 250e
If you are kind and free and KNOW how to do this, you can contact me via Discord and talk me trought this!

Phone without OS, bricked

Hi everyone, I tried looking all over the internet for my problem and can't see to find any solution.
The thing is, and I'm going to explain from the beginning. Several month's ago I upgraded mi p9 from android 7 to android 8 via the guide that's here on XDA, everything worked out just fine. But a couple of weeks ago I was gonna restore my phone to stock, so that that I can use it as "new" as my second phone because I bought another one. The thing is, that I think I make a factory reset the wrong way, because I did it from TWRP instead in the options menu. And since then the phone just won't work. I tried flashing tru TWRP LineaneOS but it just get bootloop in the animation and then restart. I tried installing stock Oreo and stock Nougat via the dload process and it just give me error's or it doesn't even pass 5% installation and then gives errors. I tried flashing rom via fastboot mode with Hwota, ADBToolkit, and others method that I found and nothing, anything seens to work. And I really want to restore the phone so that I can use as my second phone (for work).
If anybody can help I would gladly appreciated. If I can have stock Oreo again that's fine, if I can have another rom with Oreo that would be nice too, and if the only option is to have stock nougat again, that wouldn't be a problem either. I just want my phone back xD
Thanks!

So once again, thanks!
