Hi everybody, I'm new on xda and I just received my P9, chinese version. Great phone by the firt impression, but after a some time spent configuring it I still have some "issues":
- I'm not able to download the googe dialer and contacts apps from the play store
- I only receive notifications from some apps (ie whatsapp and facebook) if they are opened in the multitasking (I know, there is already at least one thread on this topic but I didn't found any solution)
- I can't find a way to change the action associated to the long press of the home button and get rid of hi voice (I reallt want to try now on tap)
If anyone know how to individually solve these problems please tell me
Anyway, hoping to solve them and get rid of all the little residues of chinese language, I'm thinking of trying to install the international firmware: first of all, is it possible? From what I've read I must flash the oeminfo and the dload files, so I suppose that after unlocking the bootloader I have to install TWRP, do I also have to root the phone?
Last thing, how can I backup the current oeminfo and firmware in case anything goes wrong or I decide/need to revert the process?
Thanks for the attention and sorry for my english
Come on guys, can anyone help me?

I have the same problem! I would like to flash the international firmware but I can't find any tutorial. Someone can help us?

Desperate for some help.... Huawei P9 - AL00 Chinese phone
Hi guys,
BUMP this thread.
I too have a Huawei P9 - AL00 - EVA AL00C00B176 - EMUI 4.1 on android 6.0 | I would like to flash the phone with an L09 European firmware (standard). I've been reading through a lot of threads and here is what I've done so far:
used the DC unlocker to unlock my phone and get bootloader code - successful
used the SRKtool to try install TWRP (to get root). It says installed but I cannot boot to TWRP - just boots normally or boots into erecovery - have tried installing TWRP via three methods - fastboot, SRK, Paulobreun, "spanish one", etc. None have worked so far. Have tried switching phone off, on with volume up + power button. NOTHING.
SRK tool is excellent but haven't been able to get past root - ADB server WAITING FOR DEVICE. Fastboot mode is the only mode that seems to work - have once been able to get SRK tool to load correctly in Debug mode.
Have the phone in debugging mode and have tried using the *#*#2846579#*#* to set to manufacturing mode - waiting for device endures. ONLY DC Unlocker seems to connect properly once in manufacturing mode * note - I don't have OEM unlocker option in Debugger.
Please can someone assist guys like us to get these awesome phones working as needed
Many thanks,
The_JooP
It is Volume DOWN + power button. Not up.
And if you have SRK tool, there is a Utility menu where you can boot your phone in Recovery, Bootloader and eRecovery mode.
The AL00 actually has the latest and quickest updates. It just updated to B183 yesterday.
If you want the European version, I think you should re-brand your phone before you flash any European firmware.
There is a tutorial for re-branding:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/vdo-guide-how-to-debrand-huawei-phone-t3410045
Up this thred!
I'm in the same situation with AL-10 Chinese version.
Want to flash Europe/international version.
I downloaded SRK tool and saw there that oeminfo for EVA-L29 is not available.
After flash oeminfo/wipe I can flash the version by dload?

Accordingly to the TWRP installation guide, many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot, so After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo (Volume UP, no need power button in this case) and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install. (source: https://twrp.me/devices/huaweip9.html)
So, you shouldn't let your phone reboot "normally", but you must force it to reboot on TWRP from the beginning.

Volume DOWN is for fastboot, but for enter in recovery mode, Volume UP is correct.

I solved this issue with the right settings in the Permission manager: you have to launch the Permission manager, choosing the Facebook, Whatsapp,... or the application you need to get notifications and be sure that is selected the option "App auto-launch" (in this case if the app is not open in multitasking, it will be by herself).
You have also to be careful to the Phone Manager application (is not a Settings option, is just an application herself) because has the "Power usage firewall (power-intensive apps)" function that if is not well setup, it literally kills the application that are running on background. So in the case you need notifications, you need to allow functions like "System wakeup" and "Keep running after screen off". "Power-intensive prompt" is good to be disabled in the case of whatsapp-like applications.

I also tried everywhere and I didn't found anything. I will try to search if there is any system file that could be modified (of course, will be necessary to have rooted phone).
NOTE:
I have an EVA-AL00 (Chinese version) but I keeped the stock rom and most of the application (I just removed the 100%chinese-unusefullhere applications). I honestly didn't found any big issue that push me to change to an international rom, but if for any reason I will decide to install it, you will be the first to know.

The main point to me is about the integration of the softwares.
I basically use Google for everything. But when you have the Chinese ROM, Uber for example will launch Baidu maps instead of Google's. The MI Fit app, to use with Mi band will not be integrated with Google fit, but other chinesse app. It wouldn't be a problem if the app has English or PT-BR support, but most of the time they don't.

If the app is only in Chinese language or is only based with chinese services I really recommend to uninstall it (you can do the normal Uninstall procedure with most of Apps), apps that I uninstalled immediately are for example Videos (Huawei Videos), HiWallet, HiPay, Baidu, Vmall and few others that had chinese name.
I just tried to use Uber and it launches correctly Google Maps. Of course, I repeat, you have to uninstall Baidu.
If you use Google for everything, probably you are also using Chrome. In this case the stock (Chinese) browser cannot be uninstalled (because is a system app) but instead of "Uninstall" you can "Disable" it (same menu for uninstalling, just different text): after disabling it, Chrome (or any other browser) will became the default one.
Just double checked on my Huawei P9 EVA-AL00C00B183 (but I'm sure is the same with B176 also)
P.S.
I don't know MI Fit, but if we are speaking about the Xiaomi application, we are speaking about a completely different (and quite off topic) smartphone philosophy.

I found google dialer is very hard to install in non-Nexus devices and I suppose for the P9 will be the same. I didn't try 3rd parties dialers, yet, but I want to do as soon as possible. Anyway the stock dialer is working well, except for the "Yellow pages" junk, which has only the title translated and all the rest is Chinese only
Huawei P9 recovery is weird, hold power + vol up is Huawei's eRecovery, power + vol down is FASTBOOT, and power + vol up + vol down is TWRP, hope this helps anyone.
has anyone tried using the OTA links to force update to Nougat on the AL00?
I've been wanting to update my AL00, but the OTA links all seem to be for the international versions (L09/L19) so i just want to know if they'll work for an AL00..

Hi all,
I plan to go to China very soon. And to buy a MI 9 (probably the transparent version - 256GB). I was just wondering if it is possible, as of today, to replace the Chinese rom with the EU one.
What are the pro and cons?
Thank you all have a nice day!

hello there!
First of all - Yes, it is possible to replace chinese ROM with EU one. I myself did that on mine and my wifes phone. A Friend of mine was traveling from China to Europe and I got mine phones before european premiere. In order to do that - you will have to unlock the bootloader (fairly simple if you know how to plug USB cable and install one program on the computer) which usually takes about 360 hours. After that - you can flash global ROM, or any other.
Pros - You don't have bloatware from China, no chinese adds, some of the system itself is missing in chinese version (but the phone is fully usable anyway)
you can use xiaomi.eu ROM, which has improvements from community.
Cons - Not sure about warranty after BL unlock, or is the waranty is global.

You will brick your phone, if it's not stock rom and you relock it! If you go full stock and relock it works great.
Can you provide the most up-to-date guide to switch the rom from the CN to EU version?

Hi Kollachi.
just to be sure here...
if i have a Chinese MI 9 it should be possible to flash the Global MI 9 ( Version: V10.2.3.0.PFAMIXM (MIUI10) ) and afterwards lock the bootloader again, without getting a bricked device ??

Just the bullet points, basic knowledge of android needed
1) set up your phone with Xiaomi (register mi account, link the phone with it, log on the mi page and see if everything is in green - passwords, phone number, etc)
2) download mi unlock tool. No need to register or write petitions. just download and run
3) switch off phone. turn on phone while holding the volume down key. It will run in fastboot
4) connect with PC. press unlock on the unlock tool. Confirm 2 warnings (5 secunds pause for each), and look at % meter going up to ~99%. Then you will have information that You need to wait 360 before unlocking the phone
5) wait 360 hours --> 15 days. Use phone as normal until that time.
6) make backup of the phone (Mi cloud backs up sms, call logs, etc).
7) run the unlook tool again, turn the phone to fastboot more (point 4) and press unlock. this time it should go all the way to 100%, stating the phone is unlocked.
8) [optional] the phone will reboot, but you should keep the volume down pressed, to enter fastboot once again. Once in fastboot - you can flash TWRP ( with the help of minimal ADB, there is a guide for it)
9) [optional] once TWRP is flashed - press power, the phone will shut down. then restart the phone, but this time volume UP.
10) [optional] You will enter TWRP recovery. Things to do:
- wipe data (to remove encryption)
- connect the phone to the PC, set the phone to "mount" mode and download apropriate ZIP file to the root folder of the phone
- flash the ZIP
- restart
NOTE, that You will have to login with MI cloud login and pass after boot loader unlock.(first time the phone starts to MIUI). Usually the password is enough, as the phone will discover your phone number. I had some difficulties with it, as I had the alerts in chinese You should have wifi avaliable, as I am unsure if you can connect in this moment via cellular network.
hope it helps.

thats the only thing i dont know... it interests me too.
the Global Version has LTE B20.
I read that the china version doesn't have B20.
after flashing to the EU / Global version, do I have LTE again?

Bands are hardware related, so after flashing global ROM you won't have B20 avaliable.
Other bands will work, so it is possible that You will have LTE in your country, depending on the bands used by your carrier.

yea..
although i got the device fairly cheap ( bought it directly at a MI store in China ) it's a bit to much money to end up with a bricked phone.
i actually bought 2 , but i'm still to much a chicken to try on either of them ... lol

Yeah I bought the transparent version (living in Switzerland) and as much as I want to try the global ROM, I want to wait a bit. Any way to re-program the left shortcut button to google without changing the ROM? Thanks

is that only if you use TWRP for flashing or also if you use Miflash ?

It's safe if you use TWRP since your bootloader is still unlocked, if you flash using mi flash make sure you choose clean all, do not choose clean all and lock (always check before flashing your rom), your phone will be bricked.

So in other words, you can flash mi9(china) with the global rom but you must never lock the bootloader as it will brick the phone.
Only lock the bootloader if the mi9 is on china rom. Is this correct ?

In theory - all above is fairly safe.
You will brick the phone, if you chose to "lock" your bootloader after doing all activities from my list.
don't do that, and you should be ok.
I recently got the phone and i have the China version 12/256. Here are few things to take care:
1) Install Google Keyboard first before debloating system apps using adb.
2) Very Important: First update the phone to latest firmware (12.0.13) before you toggle the OEM Unlocking option in developer settings. If you dont update first and have the option toggled and try to install an OTA update the phone will just bootloop unless you clear the data and sign in with mi account again. This will reset the 168 hours time in the software. So always update the phone to latest update.
3) If you are using google pay, go to nfc settings and change the wallet from Mi Wallet to HCE Wallet.
4) The stock TPU cover is loose on the sides. I dont know if its just mine. But better buy another case from aliexpress.
5) DO NOT install global stock rom through fastboot or mi flash tool. It just wont work because of the different versions(regional) of phone. Only install xiaomi.eu ROM using the guide from a post on xda because the install script knows which version your phone is and installs the appropriate system files.
@ingbrzy can you confirm that? :

It is safe to install. haven't installed it yet but read on forums that it is working.
so I guess
1) unbox your phone
2)update to latest software via settings.
3)factory reset device after that.
3)request bootloader unlock.
4) after 7 days, unlock your bootloader and tooggle that OEM unlock
5)follow instructions on xiaomiEU rom.
is that safe enough? Lmao
PS:
6) Find EDL support near you

My friend doesn’t matter how long it takes to boot up.....as long as you not in fastboot after restart
It seems to be working fine but I need to go outside and test the 5G and 4G signals are still as good as before
It's definitely feels much lighter and smoother
WhatsApp notifications are working properly
There's much less apps in the drawer, Chinese was very bloated , now there's not a Chinese app or character to be found!
Also banking apps are working fine!

Please post the instruction how u did it. With full info
Just downloaded and install it from a Windows laptop
You have to wait 168 hours to unlock it and then open the phone in Chinese language to get to the developer options again before you flash , you need to enable usb debugging again!!!
You will need wi-fi to get back in because there's a security check after unlock, it maybe in Chinese but you will figure it out
I had never used a Xiaomi phone before this one , there are literally no downsides anymore....
I'll update if I can find something that doesn't work

Can you explain the technical reason and the source of the information when you claim that you must update to 12.0.13 before toggling OEM unlock.
I started my unlock last week and I have 12 hours left. 12.0.13 was not out last week. So, obviously I toggled it before that.
Can you explain why 12.0.13 specifically is required before toggling OEM unlock?

Because my phone went into bootloop. I updated to 12.0.10 and then toggled the OEM Unlocking. While i was waiting for 168 hours, i got 12.0.13 OTA update and i tried installing it. Phone restarted 3-4 times and took me to recovery. I then wiped data and it started again with a factory reset. So iam just warning people to get the latest update before doing this. Also, i do own a POCO F2 Pro and i am quite experienced with flashing ROMS. Developers always ask you to update to latest firmware before flashing as the new ROMs are based on latest firmware.
Xiaomi.eu is not a custom AOSP ROM but just a word of caution.
Sounds like after OTA 12.0.13 phone should be a factory reset it

The toggle is nonsense
I toggled mine on and off a few times yesterday waiting for update 12.0.13 when I was on 12.0.10
It still unlocked like a charm today
Hi,
My Google Voice Services aren't listening what I say. In all apps I try to use a voice command that uses the Google, it appears the green microphone icon that indicates permission and usage by the app but it simply does not listen anything. Like in the screenshot below. I can use microphone to send audio in whatsapp, messenger and calls so I know that it is working.
I think this problem began after updating to MIUI 13.
I've got MIUI 13.0.5 Global.
I tried a bunch of things including hard reset, updating, cache clearing and nothing. It simply wont listening to what I say in Google, YT, Maps, etc ...
Before I did the hardreset I had a XiaomiMiSpeech app and tought with could be that but after the reset, it didn't appear so its not that .
Is anyone with the same problem? Is there any hope to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi NOSS8,
I went to additional settings, like you said. Selected my language Portuguese (Portugal) and then Read, and yes. The lady talked fine. Loud and clear.
Then, I went to Google Settings and choose in all defs Portuguese (Portugal). Entering Voice Match, in only appears to turn on or off Ok Google, that it seems doesn't work in Portuguese.
Reboot and it remains the same. It doesn't listen to a single word I say but the green microphone being used icon continues to appear.
In CIT the Main Mic test also doesn't listen. The needle moves a little but it doesn't give the PASS.
I've got MIUI Global 13.0.5 Stable SKDEUVF

When the microphone appears click on it to check permissions.
And in English for example is this the same.
are you sure Global 13.0.5 Stable SKDEUVF VF? EU is a EEA rom

it is a branded phone(vf).
EEA rom for EUROPE.
Is everything up to date on the play store?
It may come from the rom, you can downgrade or update with another version but it doesn't happen overnight.

Yes, after the hardreset I updated everything in play store and xiaomi updater apps.
In my other Xiaomi's I've installed Xiaomi.eu but it's been a long time and I don't remember it well and I'm afraid of getting this phone bricked. I know the bootloader must be unlocked and it takes some days, but installing the ROM it's the hard part. And I don't know if Xiaomi.eu continues to be better.
Other thing is that after the hard reset the phone restored all settings, app's, and etc.

Yeap ,Xiaomi eu rom is always better.
As said above you have a VF version (I assume Vodafone), the updates come from your operators and not from the official channel (this may explain this).
After unlocking, you will need to install a global rom and then a Xiaomi EU rom.
If you want to do that, I can post you the whole procedure.
Obviously if you rent this phone do not do that.

No, phone is mine. I bought it at Vodafone with points in a Father's Day promo. Xiaomi 11T Pro and a Xiaomi Electric Scooter for around 400€ euros.

Normally yeah.
For the photos put them directly on your pc.
For double security also use PC backup.
Settings/my device/backup etc. choose computer, this will create a backup folder that you will put on the pc.

Xiaomi EU rom are based on Miui same as stock with a lot of improvements and the restoration with the cloud works very well.(99%).
I just received the update to the MIUI Global 13.0.3.
After finishing the Update everything works well except to the Volume control.
The buttons and screen are working, but the volume of the hardware its not reflecting the adjustment and is locked to the maximum.
Is this a knowing Bug?
I also have the same problem after updating my phone to MIUI 13. The only solution I can do is to use the "adjust media sound in multiple apps" feature in sound assistant. This latest update is just full of bugs and I should just downgrade my phone back to MIUI 12.5
Same issue here

If you want to flash (install) another rom on your phone you need to get it to fastboot, you can find instructions on how.
Download the FASTBOOT rom (there are recovery and fastboot options), in this case indian one (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/camellia/).
Extract it and (while your phone is connected to your pc via usb and in fastboot mode) run "flash_all.bat" in windows or "flash_all.sh" in linux, in administrator mode or sudo.
Wait to complete and voilá.
