First install stock recovery with batch file, then install B052 with batch file.
(You'll need to have adb drivers installed and usb debugging active.)

My bootloader is unlocked, but I'm sure it will work with locked bootloader.

You need to unlock your bootloader to downgrade to the b052, also for use fastboot, but it's a lower price to can have marshmallow.
And of course you can relock it after,like this your warranty was not void.

I had the 5.1.1 beta b009 and I just installed 6.0 b525 with local update, everything worked fine

@compyy
-Download the B052 firmware
https://mega.nz/#!lEcGQZCC!X2fmOZ-ShY-Kx-9lwnSUN16Vo52_aU0i4K1KmdBW64Q
-You need to have unlocked bootloader.
-You need to have adb drivers installed.
-You have to boot into fastboot mode (Turn off the device > press "Volume - key, Power Key and connect USB cable)
-Extract the files of B052 and copy and past in your adb folder the 'BOOT','CUST','RECOVERY','SYSTEM',and the 'FLASH-ALL' script (just run FLASH-ALL.bat file).
You'll have the B052.
-You'll have balong error, download this file:
https://mega.nz/#!kM4ngRAb!3FIgh6WNgP4NWRfnGoDxisd1wAQk3CBPKdKl8_If-v0
-Install this file as local update (copy the extracted file UPDATE.APP (21 kb) into dload folder of your root directory and install as local update via Huawei updater)

[GUIDE] Get rid of balong bug/get back local update on 6.0/unlock bootloader[ALE-L21]

First of all, what is balong bug?
Balong Bug is when you update to a newer firmware that was not meant for your country, your phone doesn't recognize the correct version of your software(instead of correct version it will show balongc53b311) and you can't do ota update.
So in order to get rid of balong bug, when you update your software to a newer version, in the archive you've downloaded there are 2 folders: one contains the firmware update and one folder named custom or vendor which contains update.app for balong bug.
So all you have to do is to install via local update the update.app from vendor/custom folder.
I've tried to find for as many as possibile versions i could find.
I've made an archive of all vendor folders. Download from here
Here is the list from archive:
B049
B120
B130
B132
B133
B171
B551
Now, in order to get local update back, you'll need to have unlocked bootloader and twrp installed because you'll need to flash an archive.
First, make sure you have installed the correct drivers, then enable usb debugging from developer options(tap 7 times on build number to unlock developer)
To unlock bootloader you'll need to register on huawei then enter your details here.
If you have dual sim,enter your main imei;
After you've done all this you'll have a 10 digit code number, save it.
Now download minimal adb fastboot from here and install it.
Plug the phone into pc, open cmd window in minimal folder(shift + right click -> open new command here), type:
Code:
adb devices
and in return it will show something like
Code:
123213asdsa231 device
. After this type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. Now you are in fastboot and here you'll unlock your bootloader by tiping this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock yourcode
. If you done all this, now it will show on the bottom Phone Unlocked.
Now you need TWRP from here.
Flash it via fastboot with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery image_name.img
.
Enter twrp, flash this archive.
Now you've got back your local update!.
In order to get back stock recovery, donwload your current firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract recovery.img from update.app and flash it via fastboot with the same command used to flash twrp.
If you have questions, ask here.

Please add the newer B564 to the patch

I'm sorry, but i can't find for b564 ...

hey i tried updating locally on b560, but am stuck at 19% for like half an hour...

Bootloader is now unlocked, fast boot works as i can boot to bootloader but i cant push twrp for some reason.
Edit: fixed, wasn't looking for the correct file to put twrp into.
So i flashed B550 i think which doesn't have Vendor file, how can i get to B551 or one that does, will i need to downgrade first.

Android Oreo update method

To update to Oreo can i use this method ? https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p10-b360-oreo-firmware-update/
Or is it better to wait for OTA or FF approval ? Thanks

You can use HWOTA for updating. Here's a tutorial for older firmwares, but you can also use the firmware files for Oreo. Download from here.

Do i need unlocked bootloader for HWOTA update ?

Well, I tried it on a VTR-L29C432B180 (downloading the 3 files for Oreo, renaming them, using the update.bat with unlocked bootloader and all the steps) and ended up in eRecovery. Then I could restart the phone and it booted up, but it was the same version (B180).
Any ideas?

If you are updating from Oreo beta to Oreo, you can follow the guide that I wrote earlier: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-upgrading-versions-emui-8-p10-to-t3748844

Did you let eRecovery do its job? HWOTA pushes the three update files to the phone, installs eRecovery and then provide commands, which tell eRecovery to install these three update files. So, if you did everything right, then eRecovery will install the update, don't cancel it.
If you need further help, contact me via PM.
When we found a solution we'll post it here for the public but for working on a problem it's better to chat directly.
@madoxx77 If your bootloader is locked, HWOTA will ask you to unlock it with the unlock code. Without unlocked bootloader it's not possible.

I don't know why my other reply appeared first to me after the post I'm quoting. Now I see this reply to my first post...
Nevertheless. I did it with the script. When it finished and asked me to hit Enter so the device would reboot, it entered erecovery and only got that screen where it wants to reinstall the original firmware and gives you the option to download it via Wifi. It failed to download it. And then, after a couple of tries, it booted up in Nougat (the same version I was running).
What step do you think went wrong? I used Same Brand Update or whatever it is called.
Cheers.

It seems that the recovery img files you flash with HWOTA are wrong. Please be sure to use these files.
The original recovery has an online check and doesn't allow scripts.

Impossible to put Huawei P9 in stock rom

Hi everybody
Wishing to sell my Huawei P9 I wanted to return it as it came out of the factory but impossible.
It has the bootloader unblock, FRP lock at one time it was unlock and since I tried to make an update it went into lock and the TWRP recovery of installed.
It is under 5.0.1 and android 7 and the number of buils is EVA-L09C530B284.
I tried the 3 methods to install an original ROM of my operator but nothing to do that does not.
- The DLOAD method: it restarts in the recovery twrp there are steps that are done and then it failed all in 2 minutes.
- The forced update method: that's 5% and installation failed.
- With hi suite: everything is going well and said that such is up to date and restart nothing I'm still in the old versions.
I did the 3 methods with the unrooted phone.
I feel that it is the recovery twrp that blocks the installation.
How to install the original recovery and install the official updates?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sorry, I don't understand your question.
For both HWOTA (first link) or HWOTA7 (second link) you need to unlock Bootloader first - but you wrote above that previously you had unlocked Bootl8ader, hence you can use the same Bootloader code - it is bound to your eevice.
Asvdescribed in HWOTA instructions, installation of some stock ROMs will automatically relock your Bootloader (it-sa flag in the update.zip, out of your control) - hut you can always unlock it again.

ok it's good I just made an update and everything is back in order it is as if he came out of the box
thank you very much

Hello dude,
so you want to REBRAND your phone..
You can do this but you need some files and a correct procedure...
First you need to use a working TWRP, so download and use 3.1.1-1 version...
Check DATA partition, it should be ext4, if not, convert it and format it.
To rebrand you need correct L31C432oem.zip single/dual sim file (depend on your phone)
and need a correct L31C432 single/dual sim firmware.
You have to use a correct procedure you can find here into xda, just search
how to rebrand... or.... take a look into my posts....
To flash a custom rom, just follow the steps suggested in each thread...
Let me know if you need particular help and if i can i will help you...
Cheers

Hey, i am glad to help other users..
About twrp, i would use 3.1.1-1 by HassanMirza01, just to stay safe...
So download and install it from HERE.
Do your backups and delete all safeties first... (fingerprints/pattern/pin)
Visit THIS thread, post #15 that's literally the same files and procedure as yours.
Read carefully before do anything !!
