Hi everybody,
I just updated to EMUI5.0 / Android 7.0 from EMUI 4.1 and a Android 6.1 that I had before.
I used a stock ROM, TWRP 3.0.2 recovery from a rooting try a few month back (which was not successful. although i unlocked the bootloader)
Now I just updated the OS with the stock update function. Everything worked. The phone is still unlocked and the recovery was overwritten by the stock EMUI again. Everything fun and games until I realized that my stock camera app was gone.
Not only the icon - which is apparently a common problem with the EMUI app drawer. I use Nova Launcher, so all apps should be visible in there. But the camera is gone.
Now I thought that I just can install the apk again. So I took the file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/huawei-p9-camera-apk-t3415720 -> did not work. Error: "File is corrupted"
Also flashing those zip Files that supposedly contained the camera app through TWRP (I flashed 3.1.0) did not work: https://www.gizdev.com/install-huawei-p9-camera-android-device/
Do you have any idea how I get the camera back WITHOUT installing a new stock ROM? I don't want to loose all apps, settings and so on.
Thanks in advance!

// I just noticed that the stock alarm clock app is also gone. wtf?
I was still unsuccessful installing/flashing any apk or anything.
Also I found no solution at all and apparently there are not many other people out there having the same issues.
Ok, now I found out / realized that I was running a developer version that was somehow installed over the official updater. Confusing
So I had the NRD90M test-keys on my mobile. I managed to download the fitting stock ROM for my device which is the EVA-L09C02B341 and tried to install it using the three button method. It failed everytime at 5%
I retried it several times and after moving the update files to the SDcard rather the internal storage it worked.
I have now the EVA-L09C02B341. I also installed the corresponding B341_update_data_full_vodafone_default.zip since I had a vodafone branding since ever.
Unfortunately the camera app, calculator, clock are still gone.
So far my data has always been protected. I don't really know how to continue now.
Will a factory reset bring back the stock camera app? Somehow I doubt it ...
Hi. I am at a loss on how to fix my GPS on my device. When using Lineage 7.1.2 I can use Google Maps without issue and use navigation to get me places. When I try and use ANY Oreo ROM I can get a GPS lock only on my current location however I can not use navigation; the device stays locked to the start point and will not follow me. When Oreo first came out I was able to upgrade to Oreo and use Maps without issue. I am somewhat a flashaholic and like trying different ROMS to see how they work day to day so I have flashed GZOP, Cardinal, Omni, Lineage 15. I have tried all different Firmware updates by Lord Boeffla trying 4.1.7 (Which I am currently using and Lineage 7.1.2 navigation works) 4.5.0 and 4.5.1 to try and rectify this but it does not matter. No matter what firmware I try and use the results are the same. Lock but will not follow At one point I even tried downgrading to Stock 3.5.4 firmware and software to which I was able to flash but the system would not boot only would bootloop. At this point I am not able to flash any stock OOS ROMS and I must use a custom built ROM such as Lineage to get the phone to boot. I have tried many GPS fix apps such as AGPS to try and force clear GPS cache and reset they system but the results are the same. Lock and no follow. Any ideas on what else can be tried to resolve this? I fear I may have damaged the device throuh flashing the firmware so many times and I will be stuck with Nougat forever with the current phone.
All Oreo ROM's are in Alpha/Beta build stages. I've experienced similar results on many Oreo ROMs. The best course of action you can take is providing logs to the developers of the consecutive ROM, and let them work.
Different firmware versions don't make any difference to the GPS. ROM's are built on top of the firmware, and such. Flashing different firmware's will not fix the issue. Go back to Nougat if you want a stable system.
The issue here is you're complaining about bugs on Alpha/Beta ROM's.
I have been facing the same problem in Nougat Roms too. I think it has been introduced in 4.1.7
The only course of action would be to get it fixed in Beta OOS by providing the logs to the devs.
Here's a related thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/poor-gps-oos-4-1-7-t3664864
Had same issue, refresh latest beta firmware.
I've no issue using gmaps on ob 17 I use it daily.
Hi everyone! I decided to go back to stock from LineageOS 14.1, because 3D and AnTuTu Benchmark didn't work, just showing black screen and nothing happened. In any game did the same. So I decided to restore a TWRP backup, and I did that. It restored, but when i tried to boot up, it just stayed on the Honor logo. I tried to put the UPDATE.APP onto my SD-CARD and try to reinstall the OS, but I noticed something in TWRP, /data didn't mount for some dumb reason. I didn't think that was something bad so I ignored it. After installing the UPDATE.APP, it still does the same, stuck on Honor logo.
I know I f*cked it up, but now I want to get it fixed. Please help me !
Downgrading to EMUI 4.1 will fix it.

Tried downgrading to EMUI 4.1, and downgraded well, until it remained on the Honor logo screen. I tried with different versions of NEM-L21C432 stock roms for my phone, and only the ones with 13x worked to upgrade to, but the Nougat ones didn't. And it also blocked my bootloader again, because of the downgrade to EMUI 4.1 by holding both volume buttons and the power button.
If you downgrade, first u have to use downgrade package and then install rom version NEM-L21C432B132 and then use updater in settings to upgrade to nougat, dload method doesn't work with emui 5 roms.

The thing is I came back from a custom rom, more exactly the Lineage 14.1 developed by Meticulus, but it was EMUI 4.x based, so... yeah. It shows that the EMUI version is installed is NEM-L21C432B130. I tried upgrading through update.app and no luck. However, the bootloader locked. So, I send HuaweiMobileUK a tweet to give me the bootloader code for my phone. And sure enough, 2 days later, I have the bootloader code and unlocked the phone. I am going to attempt to install TWRP and then wipe everything except the SDCard and flash the update.zip with TWRP. I will try that and let you guys know if it worked.

Ok, so I tried wiping everything except the MicroSD Card and installing the update.zip FULL-OTA MF NEM-L21C432B132 and it worked. The phone still has the bootloader unlocked and now it works perfectly. So this is a good solution that worked for me ! Thank you guys for help anyways!
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!
I posted this in the Q&A thread but it looks pretty dead, I can delete that if needed but hoping to get some help on this one.
I had an Android 10 update this morning, and ever since the person on the other end cannot hear me at all. No way to fix, reset etc.
I don't think I can roll back right? My only solution might be to unlock BL and flash custom, because I cannot wait for a patch to fix this.
Anyone have this same issues? Is there an alternative to going custom? If I do go custom what is the closest to stock that actually fixes this?
This sounds like the problem I have been having since December with still no permanent fix. A temporary fix is to turn on the loudspeaker and then back off and the other caller can hear you. Seems the bug will never get fixed after waiting 3 months now for a fix now.
I decided to use a custom Rom (Ion OS is what I'm using, but any AOSP Rom will do), which fixes the issue altogether. Or you could downgrade back to MIUI 10, which I can confirm it also fixes the call audio issue. So, yes you'll need to unlock the bootloader. I tried other MIUI Roms like Mi-globe, Xiaomi.EU, and ROS-MIUI, and all give the same issue. Well, the ones that's base on android 10 give the call audio issue, the ones based on android 9 don't.
Ok I fixed this yesterday on my own, here's what I did:
1) Back everything up that i needed, then unlocked the BL.
2) booted into TWRP, then flashed TWRP, then flashed the disable verity zip
3) Tried a few ROMs, all had the same issue, and other issues
4) Finally downloaded a ROM I "built" from mi-global, https://mi-globe.com/miui-firmware-rom-builder/
5) Once the ROM was built (I included Magisk, removed some bloatware etc), I flashed it, I intentionally used about a month old build since the the current stock one is what borked me. Mic problem still evident.
6) So finally I removed the modem.img file from the ROM zip and went into fastboot and manually flashed the modem image, rebooted, and that fixed it.
No matter what you have to be BL unlocked to flash files in fastboot, but I think just flashing the older modem.img would have fixed it, but I am better for it because now i have a stock android 10 ROM with bloat removed, and root permissions.

I might have to give that a try then. Glad you have yours working, hope that's the problem I'm having too with the modem.img.
Edit: Tried your steps, but what I get is complete silence now on both ends of a call. Used a modem from the 11.0.6.0.PEAMIXM (android 9) stable build.
Tried V11.0.3.0.QEAMIXM (android 10) firmware and it just brings back the buzzing/static muffled sounds. Shame I can't find why I can't use MIUI 11 without getting this issue.

The problem went away after updating to a MIUI 11 build a month later, can't remember which one. Ever since then, the mic problem hasn't come back and had no problems with MIUI 12.
I'm now using Evolution X 5.3 since the Mi 8 stop getting MIUI updates. Now the only time the mic problem comes back is is when I flash ZenX OS ROM, none of there builds work for me. I don't know why, I just decided that my phone hates what ever setting or config that's in the ROM. From the maintainer's view, I missed up something on my phone, yet other custom and MIUI ROMs work fine.
Back to your question, I didn't find a solution to the problem, it just went away after an update. Now ZenX OS is the only ROM that brings back the problem. Plan to try their A11 build when it comes out, if the problem is still there I'll just move back to Evolution X. Are you using the latest MIUI 12 build? Global stable or xiaomi.eu beta?
Thanks for
