OMG MY PHONE COME BACK TO LIVE! million again again n again n again:good::good::good::good::good:
can you send me Firmware VA-AL10_M00A056_Factory_firmware_Global_Nonspecific_A ndroid_6.0_EMUI_4.1.dgtks
I've never believed a phone can be irreparably bricked but with this P10, I'm beginning to wonder...
My P10 can now only connect via Fastboot (reading "PHONE Locked"). Normal boot just lasts around 10 seconds before it reboots - and just a black screen, not even the Huawei logo. I can boot into the EMUI recovery screen but that's a fat lot of good...!
I can't get the unlock code from Huawei as you need the ID that's only available via Android, which I can boot into...
Any thoughts on what I can do next? I've even got to the point where I might even go down the Funky Huawei route! Here are some of the Fastboot details if it helps anyone with ideas:-
fastboot oem get-product-model:
(bootloader) VKY-LO9
fastboot oem get-build-number:
(bootloader): NRD90M test-keys
fastboot oem get-psid:
(bootloader) SN:6PQ0217313002222
(bootloader) IMEI:861956xxxxxxxxx
(bootloader) IMEI1:861956xxxxxxxxx
Thanks,
I would recommend Funky Huawei Club, saved my phone and gives you enough credits to rebrand to a model that gets more updates.
Just out of curiosity, how did you brick it?
You haven't unlocked BL or flashed a custom ROM yet, what happened?
You can rebrand it for free without Funky, I posted about my P10 (L29) and how I fixed it, look for my post.
VKY-LO9 is huawei p10 plus. this thread is about huawei p10. But anyway. we need to know who it happened and what you did that you ended with a bricked device. My experiences are, that 80% of bricks can be fixed.
I am from Canada and here there is a carrier Called Rogers and they also own a company called Fido. I bought the phone from Fido and because they are owned by Rogers I thought it would be safe to use Rogers firmware as it was getting more updates and I used the https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...n-firmware-t3506404/post73255938#post73255938 method to flash any variant and then got stuck on a boot loop to erecovery, this happened on my p10lite as well.

just go t ofastboot mode, reflash your rogers firmware and reboot.
I dont know the exact names of your original firmware and the one you flashed, so i cannot help. 90% it is your fault by messing with wrong firmware.
to the thread ybout the flashing any variant.....it is quite new and still no post about sucessfull flash. so if you ar enot experienced user, don´t try it
After some digging around, I can confirm the phone is a P10 - it's just that someone flashed P10 plus firmware on it!
I now have the bootloader unlock code and have unlocked it. However, the following fastboot results aren't promising:-
fastboot oem get-psid: FAILED (remote: Read IMEI failure)
fastboot devices: 0123456789ABCDEF
fastboot oem get-build-number: NRD90M test-keys
fastboot oem get-product-model: VKY
I'm convinced, however, the model is really a VTR-L09. I have access to DC-Phoenix but there isn't a VTR-L09 firmware (I've just posted a request for one, however). Any other ideas on what to try? HCU Util seems out as you need to boot into Android first to set it to Manufacturer's Mode.
Ah - some progress. I managed to flash a Canadian Rom via DC Phoenix and can boot into a basic Android. Here are some details:-
Device Name: ONYX D189
Build Number: NRD90M test-keys
EMUI Version: 3.1
Android Version: 5.1
IMEI: 00000000000000000
I tried to force and update with (unzipped) file "update_full_VTR-L09_hw_eu.zip" but the update failed at 5%

you need to disconnect the USB while trying to update, from my experience, it won't work anyway. Try using Team MT tools.
ok so you are 100% sure you have Huawei P10 and still you flash huawei P10 plus (onyx D189) firmware on it?
You probably deserve that your device is bricked and now even without IMEI
Here you can download some firmware.
huafan.cz
Pro-teammt.ru
I assume you have to flash the original firmware for your device (Huawei P10 vith cust that match your phone VTR-L?9C???B???)
Hurrah, it's fixed. All thanks to Mutahhar who supplies a service via this site:-
http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/09/huawei-phones-unbrick-service-soft-bricked.html
It took a while and mainly involved DC Phoenix & HCU client but we got there in the end - and 'upgraded' it to the Dual-SIM L29 in the process! Highly recommended after many fruitless hours trying to fix this myself.

Mind telling me how you unlocked the bootloader without access to android? I have the exact same problem. If I got the blcode I can restore it with no problems whatsoever.

I honestly don't remember now. I know it was by using DC Phoenix or HCU Util. Get in touch Mutahhar - for just the bootlock code I think the cost was $10, something like that.
I have a Huawei Mate 10 wich after hard brick (COM1) 6 mounth ago wake up himself!!!
Fastboot is works
Bootloader locked
eRecovery works
Stock recovery works
I have a my phone bootloader key
But DC Phoenix not flash any update.app or board.dgtks file (DC gives evrytime ERROR... device not supported, flashing incomplet). Flashing stops befor DC phoenix can open backdoor.
In fastboot works only one command, that is FASTBOOT DEVICES, and result is 123456789ABCDEF
I can*t flash nothing in fastboot vommand line: gives me error for example:
FASTBOOT FLASH OEMINFO OEMINFO.IMG
sending `oeminfo` 378kb...
OKAY
Writing `oeminfo`...
FAILED remote: Command not allowed
Any fastboot command ends with that error
eRecovery get errors after try flash WIFI DNS firmware finder.
Device lost all: oeminfo, vendor, IMEI, model
And only founded information by DC/HCU/fastboot is device name 0123456789ABCDEF
What i can to do to fix that?
Thanks
Have you tried an update via erecovery?

Yes, you must flash the board with DC Phoenix. And if you don't have the nvme backup, then avoid flashing that when you flash the board.
Follow the latest posts from that thread, to understand how to put it in COM1 with the test point.

That COM1 was kind of "fake" and Phoenix couldn't flash anything. With test point it should work just fine.

Did you tryed a working dload image for your model in dload-firmware mode?
-with a build GREATER than the one you previously were on with your ALP ?
I don't know if your cust was blanked like boardnumber and imeis in your previous doing with your phone and what it does imply for dload images which are normally not cross cust compatible...
If bootloader is locked that's the reason why you can't flash. You'd have to unlock it.
Also, oeminfo can not be flashed with fastboot with "regular" unlock.

Well, it's fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK_CODE, but if you tried that already it won't work.
If your oeminfo is corrupt that might be why, as it reads imei and SN from oeminfo to calculate unlock code.
return in warranty if bootloader locked
the only fix is to send it to huawei service what ever bootloader locked or unlocked
i received my mate 10 ( hard brick ) today from huawei service ,, they replaced Motherboard cos still under warranty
---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------
one more thing ,, tried to fix it with all paid &free tools available but No .
the only solution is to send it to huawei service and do not mention any thing about unlocked bootloader . and they will fix it

Your Bootloader is unlocked - if you would ever want to hack the phone, you will need the unlocked Bootloader
And be aware that Huawei does no more provide Bootloader keys, those who want to unlock Bootloader must go for paid alternative services

You should find and install Huawei drivers and HiSuite - it usually installs automatically...
Have the phone switched off, onnect to PC by USB, press and keep pressing Vol- and voot by Pow - it should boot to Fastboot, on the bottom it has to display if FRP and Phone +Bootloader) are locked or unlocked.
PS From your first post it seems you already checked in Fastboot and found that indeed FRP and Bootloader are unlocked

Here are the all pictures ( after i deleted device ADB ) now it's you have all picture something 3650. Then here is photos when you try to turn pohone on messages, and in Download and recovery i cant select my wifi or any wifi, coz when i navigate with volume up there is no select u can only navigate back to Back and exit... :/ dont know what to do.... main problem is USB i think. P.S when i pluge the phone on usb cable Hisuite turns auto on but it cant recognize my phone

Few comments
1) If you connect to the particular WiFi from System, phone will remember and should automatically connect to the same from eRecovery
2) Try another USB cable, another USB port or another PC
Also, when USB cable is connected, check if phone asks you anything to confirm
If you try to connect from HiSuite, it will give you guides what 'to do'
3) Unlocked FRP causes the 'unsecure,' note at booting.
But as long as your Bootloader is unlocked, better keep also FRP unlocked (unlocked Bootloader with locked FRP makes no sense)
4) Unlocked Bootloader and FRP are not 'dangerous' - only if you go yourself and flash something wrong or wrong way
As already wrote, hackers prefer unlocked Bootloader.
Also if you anyhow brick the phone, you will need unlocked Bootloader to flash the fix.
Moreover, locking Bootloader also requires certain expertise to do it safely, so I really suggest you to keep it as that at the moment (until you solve PC connection and become familiar with ADB and so

Thanks for the replays very much . Well i played a little and i installed ADB drivers and i updated my device to Android device in device menager. I connected with power shell with ADB platrofm and I can only use Fastboot ( coz i cant enter in the system and enable debuging ) So now im downloding new rom Europe nugat one, 1.7 gb... Can i Delete System with Fastboot? and then Flash new with it? Or shall i just Dirty flash it over this one with Fastboot?. Im in fear if i delete whole system with fastboot that my phone will be totaly bricked and i cant even use Fastboot anymore?

From Fastboot, execute the following commands and copy/paste the answers

I have the same problem with my Huawei p9. It was unlocked by oneclickroot, with magisk 18. I'm not bothered about the unlocked bootloader or from, as the phone is rooted and works well. I just want to get rid of the warning and time delay, when I turn the phone on. Does anyone know what files need to be deleted to get rid of it and if possible the time delay, which I suppose is only about 10 seconds ,but very annoying.

Ok, so you are on cust c900, MM b166 build
i) You must first upgrade from c900b166 to c900b182 - follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75855436&postcount=612
From that guide you must do only steps (7) and (8) - they describe DLOAD method for installing (in your case upgrading to) EVA-L09c900b182
ii) Once you will be on c900b182, you have to rebrand to cust c432 from where you will receive OTA upgrades to Nougat firmwares - follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2
This is assuming your phone is single SIM, aka L09 (not dual SIM aka L19) - so, is your phone single SIM L09?
Actually, guide from (ii) covers both cases L09 and L19.
But in step (i), for L19, you would need to install EVA-L19c900b182, while the guide describes and gives the download for EVA-L09c900b182

Guys, iif you don't like that warning - then never unlock Bootloader and never do rooting, etc
You can only get rid of that warning by relocking your Bootloader (it will lock also FRP).
BUT, re-locking Bootloader triggers Hard Reset - with Hard Reset you would loose Magisk, root , etc
EVEN WORSE, Hard Resetting with the root, may brick the phone
Do you really want all that?
If you don't like this warning at boot, you should have stayed with locked Bootloader and with stock firmware, without rooting, etc
This thing has been anwered/discussed elswhere and zillion times (hence IMO, people need to read, get informed and think in advance, and those who are so iritated with this warning note at boot must not go in modding the phone)

No problem, after upgrading to Nougat everything will work
Im pretty sure that if you buy Huawei (if they still sell P9) from your mobile provider, it will for sure come with Nougat
Btw, there is something strange with that c900 cust, if you dig to old XDA posts, you will see that c900 was popular few years ago, people thought it was kind of "generic' intermational cust and many rebranded to c900 from regional custs - but later rebranded back (usually to c432 European or some other like Mediterranean or Latin America ) because all other custs were upgraded to Nougat except that c900. Not sure if Huawei was ever selling phones with c900, or it was only used for the phones bought in China (cheaper) and rebranded then for international market (all languages, getting rid of Chinese bloatware)
Nevertheless, don't worry and escape from c900. IBtw, it is even possible to rebrand and upgrade from Lx9 to AL10c00 Chinese Oreo (it comes with ALL languages), and to get it fully working (but some patches must be applied) - eg, I'm writing from my P9 with such Chinese Oreo (and rooted by Magisk)
Regarding to L09/L19 trays - yes, they are as on your pictures. You can put L19 tray into L09 and vice versa but on L09 you cannot (I was trying by rebranding L09 to L19) make it work to recognize that second SIM (from the hybrid slot)
So it seems that differences between L09 and L19 are not only in software but also in hardware (and not only in the tray) - L09 has NFC and L19 does not have, people tried also rebranding L19 to L09 but still they could not switch the NFC on
That is, for those who don't use two SIMs neither NFC - they can rebrand from L09 to L19 or vice versa and everything will work fine, with no 'visible' differences in the firmware
PS: You see now why unlocking Bootloader, rebranding, rooting, etc - all require to have Bootloader and FRP unlocked

I never said that you bought 'fake' P9, I just said that c900 cust is dead locked to b166 (although there wad also c900b182 but seems that Huawei didn't even push OTA update to that)
And I said that by the procedure, if your bricked phone will allow, you should first get c900b182 with probably already unbricked phone (hope it will boot)
You can pull SD card out and prepare the required DLOAD folder on the PC or another device
If things won't work you can go for DC Unlocker, credits 15 Euros (TG, I never needed to use but if you search on XDA you will find happy users whom the tool unbricked their phone when nothing else worked or they didn't know/didn't want trying on their own:

In post #12, part (i) there is a link to guide that installs c900b300 (sorry, not c900b182)
Again, I said that you prepare DLOAD content on the extetnal SD card by pulling it out of the phone and putting to some adapter and to PC or to another Android device
I wish you good luck. If you don't want or can't do as instructed, maybe better you go for DC Unlixker, you pay them and they have to provide you service, answers, etc

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):

P9 Plus means bigger display, yours isn't
Who knows what that app thinks
Battery can be replaced with not original but higher capacity

Post #4, gave you link for DC Phoenix
You need anyway to buy Bootloader code / unlock Bootloader, you cannot rebrand back to EVA without - but you need it to get things working

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 ;-(
can upgrade or downgrade from EMUI 4.1.1 C900B170 or EMUI 4.1.1 C900B130 Firmware For Huawei P9 Plus VIE-L09 to mine (VIE-C900B150 model EVA-L19) directly by dload ... is l09 and l19 has same soft

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.

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?

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)
