Stuck on NRD90M test-keys

I updated to beta Nougat using a non-official-beta method and am somehow stuck with NRD90M test keys as my build number. The rom works ok for the most part, the only thing which doesn't seem to work properly is Themes.
Would now like to know what the appropriate process is to go to the new and official stock Nougat for EVA-L19. Thanks community!

So was I and I posted about it here and got the right advice to roll back:
forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/nougat-update-borked-p9-2-imeis-t3534530#post70475746

thank you zemblance! so it would appear that i would have to rollback to stock then only update to official nougat using the built-in updater huh?

Which recovery did u use ? I got that same problem when I flashed with 3.0.0.0 instead of 3.0.2.0

not sure which TWRP i used but its fixed now. i did the rollback to lollipop. now on B190 but now Themes is being wonky and I have no magazine unlock. :/

Flash 136 again, there should be two folders hw and dt that need to be in the dload folder too.
If they aren't there you could try flashing the l09 136 first then the l19 one straight after.

Ya tone obnaveli eto rom no skajite pojalusta kak vernutsya moy zovoskoy emui 4.1 honor 6x

So I managed to get myself into this bind as well back in January, but I just didn't have the stamina to fight it and I've been running that crap ever since. Now I thought it time to take care of it.
This is the scenario. I got an unlocked EVA-L09 with TWRP 3.0.2.0 running build NRD90M test-keys and I want to "fix it" and update it to the latest version.
What do I need to do and in what order. Like, do I need to unroot/restore the Huawei bootloader, do I need to rollback to Android 6 before starting over, etc..?
And I can as well ask if the Huawei builds are preferable or perhaps there's some other ROM/mod out there worth using instead? I was on CM for years before I got the P9, though such a ROM is of course unlikely to ever be made for the P9, maybe there's a good mod..?

You need to download and flash the appropriate hw data update zip for the ROM that you installed.
And if you check out this forum you will see there is both Lineage OS (aka CM) and CM13 ROMs for the P9 :good:
Peace.

Eh, yeah, that I know, but I'm not going to try to figure this out myself again as last time I did, I spent two days trying to get my phone to boot at all - and that's a first since I started messing with ROM's back in the HTC Hero days.
And I thought the undocumented SoC made "real" custom ROM's on P9 impossible - or did Huawei release the doc's?

Ok, so get the 2 files for the ROM you want, and flash update zip then hw data update zip next.
It worked in either TWRP or dload method for me. Of course, for dload method you need to unzip and flash each zip in turn, or TWRP can flash one after the other. Flashing will relock your bootloader...

Well, if you note my post count and alike, I'm not really a newbie here, I got 10 years experience messing about with custom Android ROM's and about the same experience of general Linux experience on top of that, so when I don't wanna do this without some trustworthy information on the workflow, etc, you should get there's good reason. So posting replies like -Oh, just flash something, it'll work out!, that looks a lot to me you just having been really lucky not getting into the situation I did.
So I will repost the question I posed and hopefully someone with that know how will reply.

Just to clarify....
I had an unlocked EVA-L09 with TWRP, running build NRD90M test-keys, and I wanted to fix it....
So, I downloaded update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and flashed them one after the other using dload method. It worked. That was my workflow.
Just trying to help out, don't get shirty about it....or you can wait for someone who's been on the forum longer than me, or who has a higher post count than me. Btw, I've received help before from folks with very low post count and I know it's no indication or predictor of noob-ness.
Peace out...

*I* did the exact same thing and then spent the following 30 hours trying to get it to even boot.
And I really didn't want to be rude, but if I got that kinda post number, I'm not likely to ask for help with something like this unless I really needed it. As I said, I have a lot of experience of this stuff and I still messed up immensely trying this the first time, so I'm not even going to try before I have someone who really knows what *NOT* to do give me some hints on how to avoid getting into the same spot - because I'm not doing another 30h trying to save this phone if I mess up again, I'll just smash it and buy something else, like a used Nokia 3310, because it's just not worth the stress.

Is there root available for my P10 model?

I have a P10 with the following info:
Model number: VTR-L29
Build Number: VTR-L29C185B113
With a variety of different models, its a bit confusing trying to find info applicable to a specific model.
Can anyone tell me if there is root available for my P10 and point me in the right direction to get started with it?
Thanks!

Thanks, I've been reading through the forums and did come across the TWRP thread. It seems that TWRP is still in beta and there are still some issues that need to be addressed.
Since there aren't many ROMS for the P10 at this stage, it's probably not worth the risk trying to flash software which is not ready yet (I would rather not risk bricking my P10). I think I'm going to wait a while (with eager anticipation) to see how things progress with TWRP for the P10 before I jump into it.

The root modifies the boot.img only and this file is the same for all VTR-L09 or L29 models. TWRP ist just in beta, yes. But for flashing the zip is this state enough. I haven't any issues since release.
The only two things you have to remember:
1. if you unlock your bootloader the phone will do a factory reset. All data on the internal storage will be lost. So do a backup.
2. OTAs aren't possible. If you want to root, update to newest version before you root. B113 is very old and there're newer version. In this process you can rebrand your device if you want so.
If you need any help, you can contact me. I did this a lot to my phone and never had any problems.

Zenfone Go Oreo help

Hi someone with an account on 4dpa with 30 posts could please download this rom and share it here? I don't know Russian so it's impossible for me to write 30 posts.
I have a Zenfone Go (Z00VD) and the stock ROM it's terrible (crash in the camera, 1 Gigabyte of app space already full....)
In case you can't, could you provide an alternative ROM with as less bugs as possible?
Thank you

Guess we're on the same boat buddy. Have you tried the other ROMs on their forum like the nougat ones? They seem nice.
I personally prefer to use the RR 5.5.9 lollipop rom provided by 4pda since for some reason the nougat and marshmallow roms on their site just give me bootloops. It may be different for you though.

Hi, not yet, it's not my phone so I'm searching a stable ROM. I saw the nougat thread here but it's not very clear what works and what not, there seems to be a nougat rom on 4dpa which should work well except the videocamera with the stock app, but the Oreo one seems almost bug free although more complex to install. Unfortunately I can't access it.

Hello,
From what I can tell, both Oreo and Nougat ROMs were unstable and/or sluggish for me, so I'd recommend to stick to Marshmallow based ROMs(for now). My personal preference is ResRemix 5.7.4, but if you decide to try any of them, keep in mind that ROMs with kernel 3.18.19(as far as I've seen most of ROMs in that thread) all have these two issues that I was able to find so far:
Notification LED doesn't work
Bluetooth audio doesn't work either
Other than that, the ROM is super-stable and somehow better than 5.1.1 ROMs from official dev thread there.
And for JustAnormalGuy, bootloops in later ROMs seem to happen because of unwiped internal storage(basicly needs entire /data partition wiped somewhy). Try marking the 'Internal SD' option when wiping partitions for ROM installing.
Good luck!

Those 2 bugs are not a deal breaker for me, would you mind linking to the ResRemix 5.7.4 rom that you used?

Sure, buut since I can't post links(thanks XDA for 10 post restriction, love ya!), I'll have to send one another way.
PM me your Discord handle(if you have one) or something else. I should be able to send you the link there.

aurismat, and what version of twrp do you use ?

I use TWRP 3.0 by Jemmini. It's been a *long* time since I installed it though, so if you have something different, I'm afraid I won't be of much help unless I'll be able to pull my recovery .img file.

Actually, i use the same version. Problem is most probably my method of root. The common method of rooting for our device didn't include any flashing with sp flash tool. But for my situation, my bootloader is locked even after downgrading. So i did the other method (also found on the forum) in which includes flashing.

Hmm, it *may* be the root method, may be also the locked bootloader.
If I recall right(and this might be THE common way), I used the fastboot method from XDA, and I knew it'd work cause I rooted more phones that way. I remember downgrading the stock ROM down to version 39(i think that one still had the bootloader check in dev options) and then trying to unlock the bootloader and obviously go through flashing the recovery image.
Dunno what might be the issue with your way of flashing, though. AFAIK might be anything from leftover files to bootloader giving the finger.

@aurismat i think the problem might be that i used the "format all + download" option on sp flash tool. Does that affect the phone in any way that deprives my phone from using 6.0 - 7.0 roms? (Besides the "null" imei effect)

@JustAnormalGuy I don't think it should be a problem, because the ROM .zips install their own stuff to the partitions AFAIK, so even if Flashtool wipes everything, it should still be fine. Try doing one of them ROMs(previously said ResRemix worked for me), but remember to wipe the Internal Storage partition if you can.
Oh and remember to take a backup of your current ROM, should it bootloop again at least you won't have to do the hassle of reinstalling everything back(learned that the hard eay haha).
EDIT: was it just Nougat ROMs that you were trying or was it both Nougat and Marshmallow? Not sure what might be the cause, but the ROMs developed under the same kernel from ska-vova in 4PDA worked for me. Just a thought.

well actually i already tried various roms from Marshmallow to Nougat all of which gave me bootloops. I've already followed the steps of installation as written. However, i tried once installing a Marshmallow rom from the facebook group named "ASUS Zenfone Go Indonesia" and it surpisingly worked for me (numerous bugs present however), as well as most of the marshmallow (and only marshamallow roms) on their group.
The thing is I also might think one of the reasons why i get the bootloops in the roms from the 4pda forum is the kernel used in them. (just speculation) Should it be correct to assume that ?
As I recall:
Working rom shows "kernel version > [email protected]"
Not working rom - "kernel version > [email protected]"

Hmm, I'm using [email protected] kernel version 3.18.19.
All the ROMs there seem to be by mosly nik-kst's kernel. ska-vova seems to just build ROMs with the kernel.
Besides, take note from the working ROM - it's also from 4PDA.
Only thing I can speculate is that your device is somewhat different(maybe different hardware, not sure) and hence why it gives you BLs.
Dunno, this case is a tough cookie to be honest - only thing I can recommend at this point is to flash literally EVERYTHING back to stock and try using fastboot method to get recovery and root back.

Hey @Darkorn,
Over the span of a few days, I've tried installing 4PDA's Oreo ROM.
It took me a good couple of headaches to make out what translated Russian meant in the instructions, but I've managed to repartition the entire device to the guide.
Seems to work properly so far, hell even Bluetooth and Notification LED issues from older ROMs seem to be fixed!
Though one thing that annoys me *personally* is that it's impossible to install SuperSU, so you're stuck with Magisk. It's not the end of the world, though, as long as you don't care about SafetyNet's BS.
Oh and @JustAnormalGuy, try repartitioning your device according to the Oreo instructions in 4PDA, that might be the solution for ya.
If I ever get up to 10 posts I'll ask those guys permission to let me post the tutorial here with all the links(hopefully).
Until then, good luck to both of ya!

Nice! Resurrection Remix is working too well to bother, but who knows in a few months!

That would be great man, thanks !!

I’m confused and overwhelmed. Please help me get back into my phone.

So, I have an Honor 5C (I’m in Europe, if that’s significant), I’ve been rooted for a while and today I wanted to install a custom ROM. After installing TWRP using the official app, (I tried it with fastboot, but no success) I downloaded the LineageOS 14.1 ROM and tried to install it. This failed, I got error 7 and started googling the cause. No success. Right now I’m just confused with all the different 5C models and apparently different EMUI versions. My questions:
1. How do I know what model I have? (NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 etc.)
2. What’s up with the EMUI versions? I know I had 4.1.2 and never got a notice saying I could update to 5.x, so how are people on those versions?
3. Same for the Android version, I was on marshmallow 6.0 but other people are on nougat?
4. I wiped everything and am unable to boot right now. What ROM must I download to boot again? And is it possible for this to be nougat, instead of marshmallow which I was previously on?
Thanks in advance, I’m very new to this scene and all the different models and versions are kind of overwhelming me

First of all, you shouldn't use the official twrp, because that once partially bricked my phone, and you should have used EliteTWRP for installing the roms, because it required you to back up before some partitions, that official twrp couldn't, also, to answer your first question, you find it out in your phone's settings app, in the About Phone section, but since you didnt look at that before you flashed and deleted everything, I don't know how to figure it out without the settings app, also diffirent region phones get diffirent updates, my dad's honor 6 never got an update out of 4.4.2, but some phones had access to newer versions(not by flashing custom roms), also you should download some dload things i dont remember how to do it, never done that myself, but for that I'm pretty sure you need to know if you're using NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 or something like that

Having Trouble With Custom ROMs

I've been having loads of issues with installing Treble ROMs. Currently I'm on the PRA-LX1's most recent update with EMUI 8, (C432) and have only recently found out that Askuccio's TWRP is around. Previously I've been trying and trying with TWRPs like Haky86's which couldn't have even worked because it's built for EMUI 5, I've tried Pretoriano's for the P10 lite, as well as some other random one which is Chinese. Pretoriano's is always unable to mount my /storage/ or /system/ and therefore I can't wipe or flash anything properly, and the chinese one just placed me in a bootloop after flashing the Treble RR ROM.
I now have the Askuccio TWRP and I need to know before I try again - will I get a bootloop, or get in a mess all over again? I can't back anything up beforehand because of encryption and inability to root before switching to a custom ROM. The last times I've tried I've had to keep booting and messing around until eRecovery manages to reproduce itself from seemingly nothing and then redownloads my system firmware again.
Has anyone had proper success? Do you recommend any ROMs to use? I'd prefer RR, Lineage or Omni but at this point anything is fine. Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you. I have had many phones and rooted them all, but somehow the help on this forum lacks detail and consistency. I also have the TWRP installed but can't get any further down the line - where is the root? Can't install custom roms, can't get adaptive SD, just got unlocked bootloader and FWP!
