ModemFix can't be use to get IMEIs back in B108, it was made for EMUI 2.3 dev.

Yes, indeed, LiveTWRP will no longer work on newer builds, i am afraid you will need to flash the recovery to device if you want to use it.
After all, the 'Live' version is a bonus, and without source i have no idea what they did that caused it failed to boot.

Live TWRP part confirmed, it can no longer be used with newer EMUI version.
For sdcard problem, can you confirm your device is H3C H30-U10? Not H3W or other variant? Intl. or China set?
I would suggest you to try the following:
1) Reset TWRP settings
2) Try other SD card, different brand if possible.
3) Smaller storage size, eg: If you are using 16GB now, try one with lower size like 8GB, 4GB.
4) Format the SD card with android, remove any extra feature such as sdcard encryption.

I believed you have it connected to internet and checked for update and there is no OTA available for your device, correct?
Unfortunely HW has removed the download link for B110, i do not have any backup for B110 either, i didn't download it earlier.
For now i think what you can do it ask your friend or some else with B110 to do a TWRP backup and use the backup to restore.
You need to restore /system & /cust partitions only, once you have done that do a factory data reset from a booted system.
I wish i could help more but i have the slowest internet on the planet so nothing i can do here.

TWRP B110 backup from your country? Yea, that would be fine too, but if you have the B110 UPDATE.APP that would be better.
I am not sure if B108 locked BL could survive TWRP restore without first soft-bricking it, i didn't try that, or i tried but forgot ...

hi ,
just because of your guide, i was able to get back my honor 3c from soft brick to original international B115 image. thanks a lot for supporting.

@codelover
I had checked all steps you've been explained, but it goes failed when i flashed the rom through TWRP
anyway, I'll try your suggestion later, because i had flashed Emui 2.3 currently.
By the way, i had root emui 2.3 and verify by root checker, but i had problem with busybox. I cannot install it.
my system memory remains 34mb, does the memory space too small to instal busybox?

Help please
Hello! I downloaded the firmware EMUI2.3_H30-U10_4.9.1 and did everything you wrote, but after extracting the firmware by HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.8.0 I did found in the folder the file '_PrepareFiles.exe' (item 13 of your post)! What is wrong? Thank you!!!

suggestion
dear sir,
it is great to have your guide with me, i just wanted to make a suggestion, at the point where you have summarize the steps for installing kit kat on international hand sets, please write an instruction that all international users must have unlocked their phones, before rom update, so after upgrading they could run live TWRP easily.
Thanks and regards once again.

Hello! I downloaded the firmware EMUI2.3_H30-U10_4.9.1 to flash the phone by Flash Tool. According the guide "Restoring Official Stock ROM using SPFT" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...809&postcount=) after extracting the firmware by HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.8.0 the file "_PrepareFiles.exe" must be appear in the folder with extracted firmware. But in my case when I extracted the file "update.app" I did'nt find the file "_PrepareFiles.exe" in the folder (((( What is wrong? The NET.framework v.4.5.1. is instastalled. Thank you!

P9 Upgraded to Nougat Beta, cant go back and downgrade to stock rom.

Hello guys.
I recently upgraded from EVA-AL10C00B195 to Nougat Beta B322 It was probably for L29. But after upgrading, there isn't a camera app and google apps do not work. So decided to go back to stock MM rom but I cant install TWRP and root the phone. I have a full TWRP backup of the phone from before upgrade. Is there a TWRP for P9 on Nougat?
I don't mind the data on the phone, is there a way for me to go back to stock rom? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You need to grab a full marshmallow stock rom,unzip it to the dload folder on the external sd card(it should contain an update.app file).
Then hold down both volume keys and power button and it should reflash stock rom and bootloader.
I tried that with EVA-AL10C00B183 FULL rom.
At 5% it gives error:
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
Would've been great if it worked this way. Anymore ideas?
It looks like you downloaded an update package and not a full rom

Hmm,Im not sure,it should work.
Try
1.Factory reset of the phone through the main menu and not through twrp.
2.Make sure you have the right rom in the dload folder on the external sd.
3.Make sure you don't have a dload folder and rom anywhere else like the internal memory of the phone.
4.If that fails try relocking the bootloader if it's unlocked and try again.
If that doesn't work then I don't know what it is,maybe try signing up for the beta and see if you can get another update which has a functioning keyboard.
Factory reset fails everytime. But when the phone boots up, the settings are reset. I don't have twrp after the nougat update.
The rom was in external sd inside dload folder.
There isn't a dload folder anywhere else apart from external sd that contains the stock rom linked.
I've unlocked the bootloader and it's the same result.
Where can i sign up for the beta? I don't think there will be beta for chinese AL10 rom.
Here you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/rollback-eva-l19-android-7-0-emui-5-0-t3496091
Thanks for the help guys but non of this worked for me. I kinda bricked it.
I went ahead and spent a lot of money on DC-Unlocker. It basically formatted the phone and flashed a small factory image. After that, the instruction said I needed to install a full stock firmware for the phone. After which I had to repair the IMEI and also had to get it SIM unlocked even though my phone was factory unlocked.
It costed me 15 euros for formatting and flashing factory firmware. Plus 8 euros to repair IMEI. Plus 4 euros to get SIM unlocked. Total: 27 euros! Now I am back to stock rom with everything stock and working.
Moral of the story, don't install nougat beta if it isn't for your phone. EVA-AL10 in my case. Just wait for your turn.

Huawei P9 - Android 6 to 7 Firmware

Hi all,
Ive been a fair while out of flashing ROMs since Note 4 Edge / HTC M7 and have today unlocked bootloader and rooted my P9.
It is currently Australian Vodafone release EVA-L09CC346B160 (Android 6) but I want Nougat.
There is no local carrier updates available but I understand that there is Android 7 available in Australia on 'international' branded handsets.
How can I identify what this firmware is for international Nougat? Can some one assist me. Or can someone advise what would be a suitable equivalent firmware that I can use in place of.
I am unsure how this device goes in flashing ROMs of higher or lower android versions on the current firmware and dont really want to brick it.
Thanks for any tips / suggestions
Umm, just found a thread mentioning L09C636B361 - will check this out, but is there any more recent? And still how does fl;ashing other premade ROMs on 7 go on top of the current Android 6 firmware go?.. Ta

I have completed the steps suggested and now have Nougat. Though it is a newer version being .383 which was updated via OTA to .378 and then zip to .383.
Thank you for the help
I'm trying to flash firmware on my P9, now I have EVA-L09C40B181, but it stuck on 5% and HiSuite shows Recovery failed! I tried custom firmware, same problem. What can I do ?
Dfani511 - just follow the instructions in the thread provided by Xtcislove, it works but took me a long time.
I found the steps concerning the update to be added in dload was a little not clear, in the update zip that's downloaded, you need to open it until you get the dload folder, extract that and copy to the SD card.
Throughout my updating, o never ended up on the firmware you have
This N seems to be working fine, nicer looking.
I do have 1 issue, no matter what I do I can not get root to work. I'm on .383, can this one be rooted or not currently? If it can, how do I root .383? I have TWRP 3.1.0.3 as current recovery..
Or, is that ok to flash on my current P9 L09C432B383 ? from this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-pre-rooted-boot-img-p9-nougat-b378-t3574548
The stock and pre-rooted boot.img states its form .378 but would it be ok on .383?
I dont know how to get root on it currently...

3 is the version i preffer, you cant freeze apps with v1 but most things should work fine.
btw you can flash v3 over v1.
Ive flashed v3 over 1 and all appears good, root working fine. Thanks again.
Though I have noticed on both v1 and v3 that SuperSU binary needs to be updated, ob both v1 and v3. The phone fails to update both, states unsuccessful and to reboot, which also does not update the binary.
Only other thing I have done is to get BusyBox.
What can be done about the failing binary update? Will it be fine to leave as is, just getting rid of the prompt when it appears, or does it really need to have the update done sometime?

[Q] How to debrand P9 when already on Nougat (B361)?

I'm on EVA-L09C09 and would like to go to L09C432 so I can use the RROS ROM. Is it possible to debrand it without downgrading to 6.x? (I have an unlocked bootloader)
Thank you!
I was with a situation very similar and did it.
I was on EVA-L09C02B345 and debranded to EVA-L09C432B383 to test OTA Updates and received the EVA-L09C432B386 correctly via System Update and applied it successfully.
The process was not very clean I was with the same problem all tutorials are for android 6.x and none for 7.x, but I risked to follow this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/vdo-guide-how-to-debrand-huawei-phone-t3410045
Of course before, I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted, with help of latest topics about the subject, but you already have this.
Now, the problem on that tutorial was after applying the oeminfo and custombin of C432 the phone needs reboot and it was supposed to reboot and do some more actions on the system but when you reboot it enters in a bootloop that sent me to erecovery... At this point I had another problem, because after this I tried to put with dload an original C02 rom and give up, but the original rom on FF available for C02 was from a test branch(I didn't kown) and it didn't have updates and some other things, at this point I din't have updates to receive the latest C02 rom and had to try again for the C432 so I unlocked again and put TWRP and as a desperate measure I installed via TWRP the zip files of C432B383 and despite my beliefs it didn't gave any error, after reboot It booted correctly and phone info was already EVA-L09C432B383 and all working. At fist the OTA update to B386 didn't apear but after a factory data reset it appeared right after initial setup and wifi configuration, downloaded full update and applied successfully.
This was my story, after this I am with the idea that after the problem of oeminfo and custombin I should have gone to TWRP and flash the C432 rom and everything would be ok but I'm not sure if the "test" rom influenced anything on the process...
Hope it helps...
So did it go out of the bootloop after re-unlocking?

So did it go out of the bootloop after re-unlocking?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After re-unlock I didn't followed the tutorial I just unlocked bootloader then installed TWRP and on TWRP installed the zip files of the EVA-L09C432B383 firmware.
I assume that the oeminfo and custombin from the tutorial was still in place because I ended up with a L09C432 and not with a crossflashed L09B900, so probably you can't skip the bootloop, but I'm not sure I'm no expert I just risked and got lucky I guess!
It would be nice If someone who really understand this procedure, to tell us what's the appropriate procedure to do this without problems and bootloops...
If you're willing to risk my recipe is this:
1 - unlock bootloader (you already have this)
2 - install twrp (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703)
3 - root (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258)
4 - follow tutorial until reboot after apply C432 oeminfo and custombin (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/vdo-guide-how-to-debrand-huawei-phone-t3410045)
5 - when the phone boot to e-recovery, don't do anything just reboot it to TWRP
6 - on TWRP install the zip files of EVA-L09C432B386 previously saved on the sdcard
If step 5 and 6 fail try to flash the EVA-L09C432B386 via dload folder on sdcard. If this fails too I don't really know what I did more to solve the problem because at that point I was a bit scared and trying everything...
Don't forget before you do anything make sure you have your original firmware available don't do like me that only had a old test keys firmware available, and do a full nandroid backup on TWRP so you have more options to revert back!!!
Probably it's best to way for a more expert opinion/tutorial...
Thanks, but sounds way too risky, I think I'll wait for a more proper method.
Sorry for bumping, but has anyone found out a solution?
I and mfPPC can't be the only ones with this problem, surely. :/

Backing up stock rom before flashing another

Hi
I have been following the thread for the linage os in the View 10 forum.
Several people have reported it working on Honor 9 Lite which is treble compatible, before I try it out however I wanted to be sure I could go back to my current rom which is the official LLD-L31 for the UK honor 9 lite.
My current build number is LLD-L31 8.0.0.121(C432)
What options do I have to restore if I don't like the rom I flash?
So far I have managed to pull the System & ODM folders to my pc. all except the Vendor file due to a permissions error.
Is this enough? Can I simply push these folders back? and at which point do I attempt the push? When booted/in recovery etc?
Otherwise, Is there an official or unofficial Huawei/Honor restore tool? or maybe a full rom I can flash? HiSuite says it has this function, but my device isn't listed.
Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I flashed a rom & it was always via TWRP I understand treble roms are flashed via the stock recovery though

My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.
There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.
BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.

Thanks for the reply, I suspected that's how it worked, just flash back the original system image.
I think I'm gonna hang fire for the time being until I know I have the correct firmware to go back if needed, hopefully the camera will be sorted by then too.
I flashed a firmware today and couldn't revert to stock because can't find it. Any ideas?

When you unlocked your bootloader and before you overwrote your system partition you should have taken a backup of your stock system partition so you can restore it. Honor has not made the firmware available yet as far as I know.

Just in case I decide to try this, how do I get a flashable file?
I pulled the contents of system + odm via ADB but just ended up with 2.3GB of folders.
Can I convert this to a flashable .img file? Or should I have done this another way?

found description for how to do it for v10 on another site:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img
this implies root is required so I guess you would:
1. unlock bootloader
2. load TWRP.
3. load root (su).
4. reboot back into TWRP and save system.img.
However, you make it work you need to make sure system.img is saved before any changes are made.

I was thinking about this today & came to the same conclusion.
The idea is to pull a clean unmodified system image, but the only way to do that is by using root privileges SU, then via TWRP - Does that not make it a modified image?
Maybe I'm thinking about it too much:silly:
What Root method & TWRP versions have Honor 9 Lite users had success with? I'm keen to give this a go

Not TWRP as that is the recovery partition (recovery.img) not the system partition (system. Img). Not sure about root though as i believe that does add stuff in one, or more, of the system sub folders, maybe someone else can confirm, but if you're using superuser then unzipping that should tell you what's being added and where. However, if you think about it, this has always been a bit of an issue with any android. You cannot take a nandroid backup without some kind of custom recovery so how can you ever take a snapshot of the stock rom. Specialised tools can do it as they can dump the entire rom but how can any android be dumped in full straight out of the box without first changing something.?
You could try this:
https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/
but it never really worked properly for me.

Bootloop on pra_lx1 p8 lite 2017 oreo twrp and hurupdater issue

Hello everyone.
Last night i am tried to update my EMUI 5.0.2 Pra-lx1 p8 lite 2017 phone to the Oreo update 8.0.0.322 downloaded from Team TMs' huawei firmware finder.
My phone is allready "Bootloader unlocked" and "FRP unlocked" there is no problem. I can reach to TWRP( there is a huge problem i will explain it).
on the top of my way i got EMUI 5.0.2 and i unlocked the bootloader and FRP.
then i installed the EliteTWRP-3.2.1.
after this i downloaded
HuRUpdater 0_3.zip
and the 3 neccesery FullOTA-MV-OP files that includes the
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_PRA-L11_hw_eu.zip
then i do everything exatly on this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
and voilla!!! i got the Oreo update installed.
BUT....
i dont get the file manager app its lost!
i can not get themes or get in any of huawei apps sign in or get in!
so for this. my next step is goint to do reflash the oreo how i did it again.
BUT....
i can not do this because the instaled TWRP does NOT support OREO. Applause for this
so i'am tried 3 different TWRP that can be used on HUAWEI phones.
First one is this i dont know who is the developer but ists intercafe is chinese or korean.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rlQPRP234PoXY_yqup3oK_joOZGSIker/view
i tried to instal this over adb fastboot. BUT I can NOT. Because Oreo will do this on RAMDISK_RECOVERY!!!! WOOOWWWW
i did this and i reinstaled the oreo update like i did it first but in this new TWRP.
İt flashed my OREO but on the bootlogo the HUAWEI opening sound curropted before finished the sound and gets to restart.
after restart eRecovery opens and give me TWO funcional choises!!! Like Jig SAW
anyway...
the first option is DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION AND RECOVERY
BUT for my chanse!!!! or mean bad LUCK!!! eRecovery WiFi doesnt see the EDUROAMs ACCESS POINTS WELL RIGHT!!!!
so i passed the first one and we are on the MAGICAL point.
the second option is the WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
on this time i CAN NOT DO THIS BECAUSE THE ORGININAL RECOVERY PART IS GONE!!!! YEAP I CAN NOT DO FACTORY RESET.
WHEN i choose this option it will go to the TWRP recovery nice huh!? NO.
so what will i do i know my phone is not BRICKED YET! İF THERE İS TWRP THERE İS HOPE!
BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO RIGHT KNOW
please help me....
with this Recovery (TWRP)( not usefull beacuse you can not use them )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/recovery-recoveryoreonocheck-install-t3777974
i found this under a members signature and i give a try but it wont work this gives me just a big error
But this error gets my phone a factory reset after than i flashed this Recovery (better then the chinesee korean languges type one ;D )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3773970
and i tried to flash the Oreo update again with HuRUpdater_0_3.zip
but now I am at the begining. System works there is no issue over hardware.
But there is missing system apps like File Manager. Themes and so on....
And the best thing is The BUILD NUMBER is 8.0.0.046(08TO)
BUT I flashed the f*ckn' 8.0.0.322!!!!! WHY GOD!!!! WHY!!!!
Could anybody iluminte about what the hell is going on right now please i need to know why is why
Dude you need to rename the files before you put them in the folder
HuRUpdater 0_3.zip --> just delete the number (HuRUpdater.zip)
update_data_full_public.zip --> update_data_public.zip
update_full_PRA-L11_hw_eu.zip --> update_all_hw.zip

It would, main issue is that HuRUpdater is made for many Huawei phones not just for prague, when you flash the HuRUpdater.zip it can only flash the update.zip because you don't need to rename it. It doesn't flash the other zips because they're not named correctly, hence the updater can't find the zips to flash.

there is a misunderstood i allready rename the 3 update files. i used two times the nocheck recovery method and works well but the issue is the same. i only dont rename the hurupdater file. i will give a try now.
Let me know if it works, if that doesn't work for you too I can't help you but I just uploaded the stock oreo erecovery to GDrive and you can download it and flash it to recovery_ramdisk partition (because you are on Oreo) then make a factory reset or go back to nougat https://drive.google.com/open?id=157C0CI5CqSEzvQRB7Yt5K1WPtYBcaO08
EDIT: I didn't read it right sorry that you can't connect to wifi. Try wiping data-cache-dalvik-system on TWRP and then flashing the HuRUpdater.zip
You may also have a bad download, I mean one of the zip files you have may be corrupted

same result i did it just you are said. it flashed oreo and it booted and works. But there is no File manager can not use themes. Build number is 8.0.0.046(08TO). I can make call connect to internet over LTE / 3G / EDGE.
is this issue are from that my phone is from another region instead from europe? İ downloaded the PRA-LX1C432B322-(8.0.0.322) from Team MT FirmwareFinder over Huawei host servers three times. even i download the stock nougat rom in the same way. I flashed the nougat but this time build number is NRD-testkeys . same issue file manager themes not appear or work.

If you get that build number issue on nougat it might be about your oeminfo partition. Try flashing PRA-LX1C432 oeminfo on this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/8-lite/how-to/share-oeminfo-t3740734
Beware, it locks your bootloader, so unlock it after you flash the file. Then start erecovery and download the nougat firmware to get your device ready for Oreo, then flash the HuRUpdater.zip . I hope this works!

is this rebranding changes my device IMEI adress? if it is so my unlock code do not work?

I don't think it changes the IMEI. I had a pra-lx1c464(Turkey) and I rebranded it to c432 I had no issues with it. It will change your device to Dual-SIM though if you have a single SIM device, which has no effect at all. I can still use my bootloader unlock code, and I have used it many time again and again after rebranding the device. Also you're trying to install PRA-LX1C432B322 Oreo right? Your device should be branded as PRA-LX1C432 first
is it neccesery to download the nougat rom from eRecovery over wifi?

I'm not sure but it is necessary to have it branded as PRA-LX1C432
I will give a try flash the oeminfo c432 then try to flash nougat with nocheck image.
nope nothing works... I flashed the oem info from the link that you givin here. but the oeminfo doesnt change the Build number but the device changed to honor 8 lite chinese normal version on nougat. After flashed the oreo the build number dont changed and the themes not working file manager also not excist.
Factory reset

Have you tried to reset the phone to its factory defaults . In this way I fixed missing apps problem .
I tried factory reset over Recovery bu it doesnt changed any thing. Then i tried the factory reset from the settings of the rom. Same result.
I just installed it manually. I have the 8.0.0.46 (08TO) but I don't have any issue, I have apps and themes..is it correct the version not should I expecting something different?
Please let me know
Same build number as in my settings. Themes wont work because regional issues. When i change phones language to english themes apps works well. Thats the themes app i admit it but.. in the other hand i dont get the in games(i dont remember the original name of it) app comes with oreo. I dont have the huawei login future anymore i think this is because of the unlocked bootloader not tried to look again then do a factory reset. I can not rebrand my phone. I know because when i flash europen oeminfo or not if i install the stock emui 5.0.3 again it says no build number against test keys . On the other side i can use my phone well i dont have any problem. And i forgot to say i dont even the file manager i installed the hidisk apk that i found on internet.
My advise is dont do this to your phones wait for a official update. But for us this is a long hard road
