Hello guys,
I have failed. And now I do not know how to continue.
My tragic storry: I wanted to update my HUAWEI P9 from Marshmallow to Nougat and got an error during update, because I am an idiot. I took an (wrong) update from some site, putted it in a dload folder on a sd card and started the update. The update started, the phone rebooted and continued. But at 5% comes "Software update failed! Incompatibulity with current version. Please download the correct update package."
After that I started to search for a solution.
Now I found this site and it seems that here are a lot of people, that are able to solve such problems between wakeup and teeth brushing. I hope someone here can help me with good advices, which avoid me of damaging my phone completely and bring me instead on the way that I can solve my problem.
Enough of the chatter, this is my current knowledge (correct me if I am wrong):
I have (had) a P9 with EVA-L19C636B190 Firmware. (I have noted this before update)
L19 stands for the dual sim P9.
C636 is the Asia/Pacific Hardware
B190 was the old version of stock Android (Marshmallow)
(I know now, that I have tooked the wrong Hardware-Package. I should have taken C636 and
everything would have become beautiful)
As I understand, the wrong Firmware is now on my phone and the bootloader try to continue the update each time I start an Update.
If I start the phone normaly, I get the EMUI logo with the options to "Download latest version and recovery" (No way, with the wifi connection, he can not find a server to download), "Reboot" and "Shutdown".
I suppose, that there is a partition on my phone, where the wrong update file was loaded to. Because if I try to "update" back to EVA-L19C636B190, there is no difference, the update ends at 5%, even without a sd card. So I think, that I need to clear this partition and need to start an update with the dload-folder-method again.
As I understand some artikles here, I need for that a special tool (SRK), with which I can clear the partition in the FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE. But for that the phone must be unlocked.
In next step I need to unlock the boatloader with the huawei online tool where i get the unlock code based on my serial number and so on.
What would you say to my plan? Or is there an easier method?
What do I need for that?
Please be indulgent with me, I try to learn and to undestand to solve my problem
Thank you in advance.
Hi , after my huawei p9 returned from service (broken screen exchange), it started lagging, freezing. So i gave it back to the same service for guarantee . Phone returned after few days with changed software to C900... (I'm from europe) so i gave it back to them to install normal software but they said they can't. So i gave it to another service but they also didn't succeed in installing proper software. Then I've tried to install software on my own but also failed. So my questions are :
- Why phone started lagging and freezing so suddenly?
- Why can't i install normal software?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to change software you need to be specifuc, complete build name you have, like L09 c900 b???
And do you want to go to c432 or some other cust
I'm stuck with EVA-L09C900B182 and after looking on huawei website i should finish with something like : EVA-L09C432B182 or EVA-L09C432B360

With unlocked Bootloader, you can install L09c432b182 by DLOAD method, and then you should receive OTA upgrades up to b399
Wow. Not the same scenario, but let me sum it up. I sent it under warranty to repair shop, where the changed the battery BUT somehow, so it said on the "repair notes", changed the screen (I am not sure, if they broke it when they tried to change the battery or whatever happened.). Now, the phone lags and freezes a lot. What the hell.
Flash oem info for c432 and you will be able to update to the latest version.
Hello everyone !
I had a battery drain issue so I wanted to try and change the software before resorting to a battery change, but now my phone is stuck at L09 C900B300 build and it used to be factory L09C432B504. I tried downloading the full package for 501 but the phone does not want to install it as it was "invalid".
Any ideas how I can force the b501 update on the phone ? It's hard to use ADB since the USB-C port on the phone is very worn out and it only maintains data-transfer in a certain position, if it gets shifted even a little bit it breaks the connection.
Thanks in advance !

You did a rollback and you cannot instal Nougat directly back
You must install c432b182 Marshmallow and then let it update by OTAs (with SIM card) to b50x
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73131443&postcount=321
Steps 4-9 apply to you (since you are already on c900b300)

Don't know what does it mean to you that you changed the software
If you rebranded from c432 to another cust, then you must also rebrand back to c432 by flashing its OEMINFO:

NOTE: Just saw you previously asked questions about P9 Lite
Pls be aware, this is Huawei P9 subforum, not for P9 Lite (different hardware, different firmwares)
The answer above with links/guides applies to P9, not to P9 Lite
If your question was for P9 Lite, please better search and ask on XDA P9 Lite subforum
Hey !
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried to follow the steps but I need to have the bootloader unlocked and it is discontinued by huawei, and in order to get the code from DC unlocker I need to invest a certain amount of money (id rather hand the phone over to a professional service and pay them and know that I have a fixed phone).
The other issue of the phone is that I cannot open the manufacturer mode on the phone using *#*#2846579#*#* since it does nothing, and I cannot use the calculator since this software does not have a calculator, it doesn't even have a camera app....
So I have contacted huawei support in hopes of getting the bootloader code but I do not hope for too much at this point. What are my other options at this point of handling this on my own ?
Looking forward to your response !

AFAIK, 'certain amount of money' for Bootloader code from DC Unlocker is only 4 Euros
If you search on XDA (various phones, just about Bootloader unlocking) you may find more online services (several months ago I've seen in some post), but they were more expensive
IMO, you don't need unlocked Bootloader if you are just following the first link, for dload-ing c432b182 without flashing oeminfo....
Update:
Okay the b182 package does not require unlocked bootloader which is great, it took the update and started going up all the way to b395 but it stopped there, no further OTA updates... It is okay to use at this point but I'm still curious to know if there is a way to get to it to update to the b50x version. I did try to use the small update for the b501 but the phone declined it.
Still thank you very much for guiding me through this ! This is a huge weight off my shoulders !

In Firmware Finder they have a new method based on eRecovery and changing the DNS server on your local WLAN AP
b50x must be showing as Approved to you for that method
It does not require Bootloader unlocked but no guarantee it would work (I tried with P9 rebranded to AL10 Oreo, managed to change DNS server address, eRecovery connected to but failed to update firmware that way)
There HWOTA method (in few variants) to install FullOTA-MF from Firmware Finder, but unlocked Bootloader is required
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
Btw, if you ever unlocked Bootloader on that phone, just use the same code again (one must save always save the code for future needs)
As of recently there are some Huawei service firmware installations available, that also install by dload (not needed to have Bootloader unlocked)
Huawei P9 EVA-L09C432B505 Firmware 7.0.0 r1 EMUI5.0.4 05013PWB [androidhost.ru].zip

Huawei P9 EVA-L09C432B502 Firmware Android7.0 EMUI5.0.1 05013PWB. androidhost.ru.zip

When you download, you will need to unzip
Find Docs and Software subfolders (you may need to untar and unzip Software subfolder again)
In Docs folder there must be Huawei official guide how to install, check if it describes dload method (and what must be un-archived and copied to SD card dload folder from the Software subfloder)
I didn't use it for L09c432 but I successfully unbricked a P9 rebranded to AL10c00 (back to AL10c00 firmware) by such a package, really easy by dload, just by following their HowTo doc from the Docs subfolder
hey guys i hope you can help me with this lil problem.
I was flashing update with just fail messages so i decide to install the same (eva-l19C6005B135) BUT it was the D007 (my phone has D002) and it was ok, after the update the phone restarts but now the wifi isn't working( it does turn on but doesn't show any wifi available).
btw the phone says D002 is installed (weird) (CUSTC605D002)

You mean eva-l19C6005B135 (c605), not eva-l19C6005B135 (c6005)?
Anyway, this is old Android 6 / EMUI 4, why don't you upgrade to Android 7?
If you have valid SIM card and WiFi, no OTA for update coming?
Check under Settings / System Updates.
You can also check from HiSuite if it offers you a newer version to install
Also, switch off, connect to charger, press and keep Vol+, switch on by Pow, and check from eRecovery: Download and install latest firmware and recovery, what it offers to install
You can also try to install by DLOAD, L19 c605 eg b394 - for DLOAD it must be FullOTA, MF-PV (must be PV), package number #109400, as on screenshot from Firmware Finder

the phone doesn't show any update to nougat, im stock at C605B135, but i do remember that it showed an update a while ago, but not now, weird thing.
well, if i try to install with the dload method the phone says "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package"
I tried the B380 and 397, i will try the 394 that you suggest.
thanks for the help buddy, i will update the post later with the results
PD: can i download this rom from another site or this is the only one? it always fails at 60-70% and it is really slow, 3mb download, i have 30mb

the same error... "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package" with the version that you said, i dont know what to do now
here are the steps that i did:
1-downloaded update.zip (just this file)
1.1 unzip it
2-put it on sd(dload folder)
3-enter download mode and try to install it
do i need to download the other files?
do i need to format my sd again? because it have some other files in it, but with the ota b135 it jus install it fine over and over again

Sorry, don't know the situation with c605 ROMs.
IMO, you should try to flash FullOTA-MF-PV but the MM buiild, but I cannot find by Firmware Finder any MM PV build for your c605 cust (hence I also don't know how did you flash that D007 at the first place?!)
You could also rebrand to eg c432, there are many more stock firmwares for c432 - but for rebranding you will first need to unlock Bootloader
PS: For DLOAD, you must download and put to the DLOAD folder all update* files you find for the given build, not just the first update.zip file- if you didn't do so, that was maybe the reason for your issues with WiFi

how can i unlock the BL? the only method that i think will work is send an email to huawei as a request for the code :/ or paying 20$ for chimera software and unlock it(i don't know if it will work anyway)
but for now im going to download all the files again for a second try and yes, im sure that's why my wifi if failing, i downloaded a ota (not full ota) with a different D007 (mine is D002) because there is not any MM rom for c605 just that one from firmware finder rewrite (desktop version)

Please check older threads under the same P9 Q/A subforum (and/or in the Guides subforum) where you opened your own thread - every week or so somebody asks the same questions about codes for Bootloader (just curious why nobody wants first to invest his own time to search for the answers
Not specific for P9 but same for the other Huawei/Mate models (excluding the newest models released alreadyvwith Pie)
Hint: DC Unlocker or Ministry of solutions, price is not 20 but 4 or 5 Euros

All three update*.zip files must not be unzipped, just copy them as zip files to DLOAD folder, do not create any subfolders
Do not use L09 file, just update.zip and two others with L19 and public in the name - see screenshot
Dlete DLOAD and create again, to make sure something hidden did not remain
And for Bootloader codes you have:

Of course that flashing another cust without rebranding first, bricks the phone.
I just wonder how you know now that, why you didn't take time to read or ask about in advance (and I think, in previous answers I was also writing you about)
Sorry, I'm busy and cannot help you further.
There are guides on XDA, but maybe better pay for DC-Phoenix or Ministry of solutions to unbrick the phone and to install you Nougat like c432 b504
