Hi guys,
Good day to all. I just bought an Huawei P9 - EVA-L09C440B138 and i'm having some issues with updating to Nougat.
As far as i understood i need to change from C440 to C432 to get Nougat.
To be honest.... i simply could not find a solution for my problem and i need help from you guys with a guide how to do that.
Can someone give me a solution.
Thank you!
A shot in the dark here, but you can try downloading this ROM:
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/11/download-huawei-p9-b182-marshmallow-update-europe/
You will also need an SD card (if you already have one, you can use that)
- Once you have done that, extract it anywhere.
- Connect your phone to your PC, allow access so you open your P9 storage from your PC
- Copy the "dload" folder over to your SD card (so you have a folder on your sd card called "dload" with UPDATE.app inside)
- Power off your phone
- Hold down both volume buttons and power button at the same time
It will either go into recovery mode where it installs the firmware EVA-L09C432B182, or fail doing that...
If it manages to install B182, you can just update your phone to android 7 normally from settings. If it fails you probably need a different ROM, but I dunno which.

One of the top threads for the Huawei P9.
A bit research should have done this.
You will find most needed files in my signature.
I just managed to update from B138 to B142, but i couldn't go to B380.
Please keep in mine that mine is C440 not C432.
I used also Profy Finder and so on.... now i'm stuck to B142, any sugestions ?
Thanks
P9 - EVA-L09C440B142.
Hello friends
I find myself in a very delicate situation
I have a P9 EVA-L09 32GB with B181 version of software, android 6.
After a failed update to android 7, the phone only normal starts in eRecovery where i don't have usable options.
The phone can boot in fastboot and it enters fastboot where the 2 options, factory data reset and wipe cache partitions both can be used but at factory data rest says "reset failed" and wipe cache partition doesn't produce any visible change.
The questions is, can this phone be rescued in some way?
Can it be reflashed in any way?
Thank you in advance for your answers
from what i have read on the internet, there are 3 distinct functions:
erecovery = volume up and power
fastboot = volume down and power
fastboot&rescue mode = volume down and connect usb cable plugged into pc and using the hisuite software
i have a microsd card
can i reflash somehow a new firmware ?
i have read of another method using the pc and entering commands from the computer

you need a way to use your sdcard without the phone (sdcard reader or another phone)
if you have this follow this guide strictly:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
with this guide you will get back to a working 6.0 Firmware and update it to latest Nougat 7.0 firmware.
thank you
i already did some searching on the net and the main issue is the unlocking the bootloader, this must be the first step, without this, its impossible to flash/rewrite anything on the phone
the problem at Huawei phones is that the unlocking is done through a code which either you get it free directly from Huawei or by paying third parties
there is one last problem, the FRP (factory reset protection) feature, which so sar is not very clear to me how it fits into the picture and what it does exactly
the problem of getting an unlock code is further more complicated if the phone cant be accessed from the menu or you do not have the box on which the IMEI, S/N and other data are written
There is no reason to unlock bootloader first. If u follow the guide above it will work. I was in the same situation.

i would like to ask you a different question but related
Is it technically possible for a phone, in this case a P9 to have a specific software version locked on to it? in other words, to be impossible to change the version of the software?
i am asking you because i have managed to reflash my phone and is working again but i was forced to put exactly the same version as before, B181.

If u are on B181 you can update to any version above if it matches your OEMINFO.
The guide i posted above will change your OEMINFO to C432 (EU Version) and after this u will receive every new update.
Any provide can use its own OEMINFO so if your provide dont push any update abbove 181 you are locked to this.
But again use the guide above strictly and you will get latest Nougat.
Short:
You cant be locked to any software version at least if you are on C432.
i received OTA to B182 and immediately after installation i got OTA update to B372
problem solved, learned a lot about Huawei software system
thank you for your help
Hi all
So I finally managed to unbrick my device using DC Phoenix, but I was wondering if it is possible to update my device to Oreo using DC Phoenix?

No Need to use DC Phoenix just an SD-Card and this file
Download
look on the doc for forced mod This wil erase all your data
Hi thanks
I can't use that method, unfortunately. My SD card slot doesn't work anymore so I once tried upgrading to Oreo by putting the files on the Internal Storage and ended up hard bricking the device that's why I had to use DC Phoenix. Are there any alternative methods? Would love to have treble support on my phone.

This is a service firmware to restore even bricked phones and if you can't use your SD slot you can go with an OTG with a good quality USB Flash Drive

Hello,
you could try to unbrick using DLOAD method.
For files to grab it depend
on latest firmware (android 6/7, emui 4/5)
was your phone running before the brick.
A good guide can be found in
UNIFIED HELP THREAD, post #6.
Feel free to ask if you're not sure
which firmware to choose..
Cheers

Hello thanks for reply.
Exactly it is not my phone. this is my friend's phone. He gave me for fix. So idk which emui and android version was running before brick. I don't think he knows that too because he doesn't understand much of smartphones.
I just know is huawei vns-l31model(writes on cover). And i dont have the sim and sd card's gadget. (It may in my friend's home.)
Could you say which files i need?(And Can i do dload method without sd card? Maybe using flash disk with otg cable. And lastly, how do I know if the image/software file I downloaded is clean. Couldn't a keylogger be embedded in every file I haven't downloaded from Huawei's servers? Last question is a little paranoid, sorry.

Dude,
i cannot say which the correct firmware for you
and you need a PC (or at least another device)
and an SD card to do this.
You have a small possibility...
Reboot the device in fastboot mode
and connect it to your PC.
Open a command prompt and type :
fastboot oem get-build-number and
fastboot getvar vendorcountry.
If you have responses paste them here,
if you have not response i think you
have to bring it to a service point.
Good luck

I have problem with my new huawei p30 pro.It was stuck on android 9 and emui 9 ,I tried every official modes to force the update.But I couldn't achieve that.
So I tried with hisuite proxy .I finded my Device model(VOG-L29) region: C431-HW-EEA , then clicked on add rom on firm Finder v2 .The version was the lastest 102.0.0.134
The procedure was smooth and I choosed the right ROM (100% sure!I already have that webpage open)Once finished the smartphone installed the EMUI 12 but once restarted the massage: Your device has loaded a different operating system! scared me .
Do I broke the phone? Is there a way to fix it without changing the motherboard?
Thanks a lot every help will be appreciated so much
Little Update.
I tried several methods trying solving this big issue.
1.Update from Erecovery trying to download and recover the package via WIFI
RESULT:the phone updated from 12.0.0.134 to 12.0.0.149 but once rebooted the
same result with black screen and the massage: Your device has loaded a different operating system
2.I done the same procedure of this guy
I also saved the log file of hisuite and here are the version before I made that mess:
* FirmWare_Base:VOG-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.240
* FirmWare_Cust:VOG-L29-CUST 9.1.0.4(C431)
* FirmWare_Preload:VOG-L29-PRELOAD 9.1.0.2(C431R2)
So The ROM I selected on huawei firm finder v2 was good(VOG-l29 102.0.0.134)
I succeeded to Recover and install the previous ROM,the 9.1.240,with hisuite and hisuite proxy
but once finished an error on the p30pro appear: Software install failed.
tried also the 10.0.0.195
I'm thinking about dload with otg or nm card but I don't know the procedure.
Could you guys help me?
Thanks
As the title changed I solved the problem of soft brick.
I write here the tutorial to help those who might have the same problem.
Requirement :OTG cable ,exFat formatted pen drive and the right Firmware to flash.
Create a dload called folder inside the pen drive and put in it the 3 Firmware's .zip file(base,cust and preload)
I specify that my p30 was bricked on version 12, so my first attempt was to load the version
VOG-L29 hw eea VOGUE-L29C 9.1.0.115(C431E4R2P2).
To flash the firmaware from usb pen take the phone off and hold the volume up button for several seconds while we connect to charge the phone .Connect the usb pen and from erecovery choose OTG update mode.
The result was an unbricked p30 pro but no fast charge and usb data tranfer and I can't get any type of update from OTA.
So I downloaded this version:
https://huaweidownload.com/download/p30-pro/vog-l29-2/10-1-0-123/
I flashed my P30 Pro once again, and of course no USB connection and fast charging. But system afetr few minutes started finding upgrades via OTA. Passed from 10.1.0.179 to 10.1.0.201. Of course I let it upgrade.
It was 11.0.0.138 first, then 11.0.0.174(last EMUI version before version 12 ) came and USB connection was restored.
you can also find other firmware here:
https://androidhost.ru/search.html
https://www.hardreset.info/it/devices/huawei/huawei-p30-pro/faq/firmware/huawei-firmware/
Even if I am a programmer I am new in the world of android bricks and I spent 2 afternoons and many attempts to solve the problem.
The last problem concerns the creation of a backup point. I have tried different version of HiSuite and both windows 10 and 8.1.But I couldn't get data from phone
The solution is to install the Androis ADB inteface Drivers while the phone is connected to the PC. I believe that this way data information is injected to the phone as well as installed on the PC.
take the drivers from here: https://oemdrivers.com/usb-adb-interface
or here: https://www.drivermarket.net/adb-fastboot-drivers-v1-4-3-download-for-windows-latest/
once you carry out this procedure you fixed everything
