I have already enabled Face Unlock, but the screen lock is still Pattern Lock. Is this a bug ?
Additionally, When the screen is locked, I still can see the Home button and Back button, they shouldn't appear on unlock screen.
Anyone who knows why ?

Thanks for your reply, and I have resolved this issue. The root cause is I installed SmartKey app. After uninstalled the SmartKey app, the Face Unlock is useable, the home and back button disappeared on unlock screen.
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 just posted a guide here: How to replace HiVoice vocal assistant on Chinese versions of P9 that just explain step-by-step how to remove HiVoice. With my own surprise, Now on Tap replaced it by default (but I already had Google Now installed).

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..

Seems to be a bug in the global ROM then. My Chinese model I can change the button assignments and assistant does not pop up on button press or double press. As Baggino said, seems working on .eu ROM too.

normally I'd say you have zero chance to unlock, however I recently saw this on telegram and I'm curious if it works...
"US/Canada devices has no oem unlock toggle!
How to get OEM Unlock option back for Non US/Canada device?
1. Open the Settings app. Tap on General Management → Date and time.
2. Use the toggle button to disable Automatic date and time.
3. Set date option will be enabled now. Tap on it, and set the date to about 10-20 days earlier.
4. Enable developer options.
4.a Go to your device Settings.
4.b Select ‘About phone’ » tap seven times on ‘Build number’.
└ This will enable Developer options under Settings.
4.c Go back to Settings » scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see Developer options menu.
5. Open developer options (in the Settings app itself), and find the option called ‘Auto update system‘. Use the toggle button to disable it.
6. Now, go back to the main screen of Setting, and then tap on Software update.
7. Disable the option ‘Download updates automatically‘.
8. Tap on ‘Download updates manually‘ option, but it will give you an error because of the wrong date, so it’s fine.
9. Restart the device.
10. Go to Settings > Developer options. The OEM unlock option should be enabled now."

Returned SM-G781W (Canada) model today back to the **** hole factory it came from.
I tried the above steps and DO NOT work, they also come shipped with BL 3 or something and 0 chance of rooting, if they DO happen to come with BL 1/2 then you root I think.

yeah that's on me, I wasn't reading that recommended approach right. it's meant for people who have lost the toggle not for people who never had it... sorry fella.
Thank's 3Mel .. your align my research
Ok for Canadian model is the chipset on the motherboard of the phone are not the shame as anywhere because it's sale whit sim unlock by default for XAC version ... the difference is physical
