Huawei P9 OR P9 PLUS - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

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?

Ok, FRP enabled, pls check the other questions in my previous post, you will need to know is it really P9, and which OEMInfo L09, L19 or L29 to take for rebranding, as Santa Claus will give you dc ac****

1/no the seller doesn't no any thing about phones and iwas enabed developer optin and Enable OEM unlock option was enabled and fast boot mode showing FRP unlocked in red and phone locked in green
2/ screen size was 5.2 inch... phone dimension height 5.6 inch width 2.7 inch
3/ yes two camera in the back printed Leica
4/ no NFC option found
5/ storage is 32 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)

Bricked and can't get unlock bootloader

Hope someone can help me out here. Here's what happened:
1. Bricked my phone after downgrading firmware
2. Unable to load and stuck on Huawei logo
3. Can't enter recovery with the vol up + power buttons
4. Only can boot into bootloader with vol down + power buttons
5. Used DC Unlocker to view all the required info to generate unlock code - IMEI, Serial no., etc.
6. Retrieved code generated from Huawei site and Product ID Generator
7. Tried unlocking bootloader with SRK tool or manually via fastboot but it kept showing - fastboot oem unlock *my unlock code* > FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).
8. Reinstalled USB driver and tried again but still the same error
I've also tried dload with the stock update.app downloaded from official Huawei site and the 3 buttons combination (vol up + vol down + power) doesn't work at all.
I'm not sure what else I can do now. Hope someone can be able to help. Thanks in advance.
Update: after struggling for a few weeks trying to unbrick the P9 and my local Huawei service center tried to charge me for at least $400 and claimed that they need to change the board to fix it, DC Phoenix was able to sort my problem out with 15 Euros. It was well worth it and I got my P9 back to working state again.
Here's what I realized happened to my phone before it was bricked. All partitions were corrupted due to a bad update.app or possibly due to a bad cable (noticed it was torn up like one of those apple cables).
DC Phoenix - You don't have to worry if your bootloader or FRP is still locked. It'll use a backdoor to write every partition from a stock .app firmware file and that's pretty neat.
Lesson learnt and to anyone who's trying to root, downgrade, flash or fiddle with anything on your Huawei, enable your OEM unlock in developer options or you'll get a hard time trying to unbrick if anything goes wrong.
Revived: Huawei P9 (EVA-L19)
I've gone through that before, but ended up using DC-Phoenix to unbrick it when it's FRP and bootloader locked. Cost me about $15. There is a post on how to do this but I'll have to search for it again.
Here is the post I used:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71767614&postcount=7
This was done using a EVA-L09 phone.
Thanks for the information @benjamen50. I've considered using DC Phoenix too but that software doesn't look too assuring.
I'll update once I have the time to try DC Phoenix.

It works 100%. I had to use it too to unbrick my device good luck
I was stuck on same scenario, have cell under warranty and things normal after submitted to service center, but before went to service center, i searched over the internet, you just de-brand your cell and all things will be normal
May I ask, how and where did you get the unlock code?

The code is generated from a combination of model, product serial number, IMEI and product ID. Here are the steps to get all those details:
Head to this site - https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/detail
Login or signup if you don't have an account. Under 'unlock' page there's a form you'll need to fill
On your device:
Go to Settings > Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking
IMEI and serial number can be found in Settings > About > Status
Dial *#*#1357946#*#* to get your product ID
Fill in all these details in the form on emui site and it'll generate an unlock code for your device.

Bypass FRP

Hi,
I have a problem with my Huawei P9 that I bought used. I realized during the reset that the Google account is blocked, but I no longer have the number of the person to whom I bought the phone.
I tried the videos to bypass frp, but I do not have access to the menu "help & feedback" (3:20 in the video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSLJchfjQkM
I think that rom includes a new patch security :crying:
I'm looking for a way to install TWRP to change the rom and go Cyanogen to bypass FRP or attempt a downgrade of the official rom.
The concern is that my computer is not detecting the phone. A warning message tells me that the usb device is not recognized. I think it's a security of Huawei not to have a user use adb or other commands to change rom.
I think the bootloader is lock.
Do you know a way to bypass frp on huawei phones with the latest security update or is there a way to change rom with a bootloader lock phone and no possibility to go into the settings to allow the enable usb debbugging (since I'm stuck when I start the phone)
Thanks
Can you boot in system?

How could he flash with the locked FRP?!
Btw, once you are (already) on AL10 Oreo, you don't have OEM Unlock option in Developers menu.
But to rebrand by HWOTA7, you needed FRP and Bootloader unlocked.
Moreover, even on AL10, if you boot to Fastboot you would see that FRP is unlocked.
And there is an attribute in one of the system XML files, if you enable it (root required for editing) you will unleash the previously hidden OEM Unlock option in Developers menu (ie, then you would have OEM unlock option in Developers menu just like in Nougat)

Similar case with the second-hand P9, where previous owner did not remove his Google account before removing his SIM card and giving the phone.
Read post #1 and then post #7 till the end - solution was DC Unlocker/Phoenix with the price of 15 Euros credits.
PS:
- When doing Factory Reset you should either had original SIM from the previous owner, or he had to remove himself his Google account(s) from the phone
This way phone reacts as if it was stolen (with the SIM card protected by PIN, and when the thief then removes original SIM and tries to bypass Google and FRP protection)

Thank you everyone for your reply !
I do not understand how this paid service will solve the problem and not me (with all the knowledge available to xda volunteers)
Does DC Unlocker have privilege to unlock the bootloader with Huawei?

Ok thanks, I'll try their tools and I'll come back to post on this tread the result for the community
It works
Great !
The software is easy to use and i pay 15€ for unlock my Huawei P9.
I click on the unlocking button after putting my phone in fastboot mode and immediately, the phone reboot and makes a factory reset low level.
I think DC unlocker find system flaw that they alone know.
I do not know which version of android had the phone and which version of the security level but for this rom the security level of android is February 1, 2017 and the android version is 7.0 with EMUI 5.0.
Knowing that I could not bypass with 2018 methods found on youtube or xda, the phone downgraded to another version of android.
I think that their software finds a flaw for downgrade with the bootloader lock and that remove the frp protection
Thank you zgfg

Thank you for confirming and reporting your experience, it might be useful for somebody else (in that another thread I gave you link in the previous posts, it also worked for another user)
Btw, now when you opened FRP and Bootloader, did you upgrade to the relevant latest Nougat, or do you consider going for AL10 Oreo?

This is my second phone and I am looking to stay on a stable system and get used to EMIU. If i like EMIU, it will become my main smartphone.
I will make the OTA update that Huawei offers and stay on Nougat

Ofc. I actually also like EMUI
Btw, EVA-AL10c00 b535/b539 is also EMUI
Stock firmware already contains international languages, just few patches are needed to get
Mob NW working
Playstore installed
and then can optionally come
Magisk root
Face unlock (n/a on Nougat)

Open Kirin Treble ROMs O and P (that can be installed over) are for those who want AOSP based experience

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?

What is your current Huawei stock version?
I thought you could boot to System...
From Fastboot, execute the following commands and copy/paste the answers
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION

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

P10 with unknown firmware installed

Hi,
Bought a used P10. Now some apps mention that the phone is rooted.
So after a quick look I saw that the about page tells EMUI V 3.1 and Android V 5.1. Also size of internal storage shows 16 GB.
So for sure there is no official firmware on it. I tried to update to stock with the dload & erecovery method but I had no luck.
Can someone tell me how I can get back to stock? Do I have to unlock the bootloader to be able to do so? (In fastboot phone tells me bootloader is locked) Or did I miss something?
thanks for helping me out
Are you sure it's a P10? Because those firmware versions suggest P8.
Search "huawei p10 codes" on youtube and check the ones that can provide phone information (like project menu) where you could see if yoh were scammed.

Test Keys indicate failed flashing.
Who knows what was flashed - you cannot judge is this P10 or P8 based on what that failed firmware reports about Internal memory size.
However, there are differences between P10 and e.g. P8 in processor type, sensors, etc (screenshot attached):
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8514&idPhone2=7006
Use an app like DevCheck to find about your hardware, and does it fit to P8 or P10 specifications
Btw, I shortly googled about onyx d188 (as from your screenshots) and found this - very similar to yours (Test keys, EMUI 3.1, Onyx, d188):

from the looks (and the 4GB RAM) it is a P10

Phone locked, FRP unlocked

I have a P9 (EVA-L09) branded to 3Ireland. I asked the service provider for the unlock code and got this:
Hi there,
Thanks for your recent unlock code request.
Below is the unlock code for Huawei IMEI 862836031485752.
Your unlock code is 1738262161041091. Please find instructions to unlocking your phone or modem below.
So I put a vodafone SIM in the p9 and it asked for the unlock code which I entered. My vodafone SIM works fine so the P9 is SIM unlocked.
With a view to installing LineageOS, I enabled Developer Options, Enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging. I then powered off the phone.
Holding the Vol Down button, I inserted the USB cable and the P9 restarted in Fastboot&Recovery Mode.
However, it says, in green, Phone Locked, and, in red, FRP Unlock.
I guess I have to unlock it to install TWRP but how do I proceed?
TIA
Dermot

You mean your mobile service provider?
If so, they gave you SIM unlock code to make your phone open for SIM cards from other operators
But that has nothing with the unlocking the Bootloader - what you see in Fastboot and what you need for flashing is about unlocking the Bootloader
Operators don't provide/sell the codes to unlock Bootloaders - rooting, custom ROMs are not in their interest
In the old days, Huawei provided (for free) Bootloader codes. They stopped and for the new phones made it really hard to unlock the Bootloaders, for some even impossible (at least, yet)
For the old P9 you can still buy a code from e.g. DC Unlocker (use Google)
But then, be careful, read the guides first - this mistake with buying a wrong code was benign while flashing an interviewcompatible ROM can brick your phone.
E.g., you are most likely on EMUI 5, and you cannot use any GSI ROM but only ROMs that were ported and adapted for P9, EMUI 5 ( Nougat firmwares). Also, if the ROM instructions say it is for P9 but EMUI 8, it is not for your phone (unless you rebrand and upgrade to Chinese EMUI 8)
It's not, take any AOSP or GSI ROM from elsewhere and flash to Huawei. If you are new in the game, go to the P9 Custom ROMs section here on XDA and read the OP posts to make sure you fullfil the requirements before you flash.
Be aware that most of those threads are 'dead' - early flashoholics long ago moved to the newer phones. Few remaining who stayed with P9 (usually as a second phone), upgraded to Chinese EMUI 8 (Oreo), and you can find them only in the few still active threads. Be careful and good luck
You can get one using dc unlocker for 4 euros. Just jut it down upon getting it. From there its smooth sailing on TWRP. You have to reinstall twrp from time to time if you are on stock though
@zgfg, I greatly appreciate the clear and comprehensive explanation. Very helpful.
 @Bill, 4€ is a reasonable price to pay for an old phone.
Thanks you!
