I updated to beta Nougat using a non-official-beta method and am somehow stuck with NRD90M test keys as my build number. The rom works ok for the most part, the only thing which doesn't seem to work properly is Themes.
Would now like to know what the appropriate process is to go to the new and official stock Nougat for EVA-L19. Thanks community!
So was I and I posted about it here and got the right advice to roll back:
forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/nougat-update-borked-p9-2-imeis-t3534530#post70475746
thank you zemblance! so it would appear that i would have to rollback to stock then only update to official nougat using the built-in updater huh?
Which recovery did u use ? I got that same problem when I flashed with 3.0.0.0 instead of 3.0.2.0

not sure which TWRP i used but its fixed now. i did the rollback to lollipop. now on B190 but now Themes is being wonky and I have no magazine unlock. :/
Flash 136 again, there should be two folders hw and dt that need to be in the dload folder too.
If they aren't there you could try flashing the l09 136 first then the l19 one straight after.

So I managed to get myself into this bind as well back in January, but I just didn't have the stamina to fight it and I've been running that crap ever since. Now I thought it time to take care of it.
This is the scenario. I got an unlocked EVA-L09 with TWRP 3.0.2.0 running build NRD90M test-keys and I want to "fix it" and update it to the latest version.
What do I need to do and in what order. Like, do I need to unroot/restore the Huawei bootloader, do I need to rollback to Android 6 before starting over, etc..?
And I can as well ask if the Huawei builds are preferable or perhaps there's some other ROM/mod out there worth using instead? I was on CM for years before I got the P9, though such a ROM is of course unlikely to ever be made for the P9, maybe there's a good mod..?

You need to download and flash the appropriate hw data update zip for the ROM that you installed.
And if you check out this forum you will see there is both Lineage OS (aka CM) and CM13 ROMs for the P9 :good:
Peace.

Eh, yeah, that I know, but I'm not going to try to figure this out myself again as last time I did, I spent two days trying to get my phone to boot at all - and that's a first since I started messing with ROM's back in the HTC Hero days.
And I thought the undocumented SoC made "real" custom ROM's on P9 impossible - or did Huawei release the doc's?

Ok, so get the 2 files for the ROM you want, and flash update zip then hw data update zip next.
It worked in either TWRP or dload method for me. Of course, for dload method you need to unzip and flash each zip in turn, or TWRP can flash one after the other. Flashing will relock your bootloader...
Well, if you note my post count and alike, I'm not really a newbie here, I got 10 years experience messing about with custom Android ROM's and about the same experience of general Linux experience on top of that, so when I don't wanna do this without some trustworthy information on the workflow, etc, you should get there's good reason. So posting replies like -Oh, just flash something, it'll work out!, that looks a lot to me you just having been really lucky not getting into the situation I did.
So I will repost the question I posed and hopefully someone with that know how will reply.

Just to clarify....
I had an unlocked EVA-L09 with TWRP, running build NRD90M test-keys, and I wanted to fix it....
So, I downloaded update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and flashed them one after the other using dload method. It worked. That was my workflow.
Just trying to help out, don't get shirty about it....or you can wait for someone who's been on the forum longer than me, or who has a higher post count than me. Btw, I've received help before from folks with very low post count and I know it's no indication or predictor of noob-ness.
Peace out...
*I* did the exact same thing and then spent the following 30 hours trying to get it to even boot.
And I really didn't want to be rude, but if I got that kinda post number, I'm not likely to ask for help with something like this unless I really needed it. As I said, I have a lot of experience of this stuff and I still messed up immensely trying this the first time, so I'm not even going to try before I have someone who really knows what *NOT* to do give me some hints on how to avoid getting into the same spot - because I'm not doing another 30h trying to save this phone if I mess up again, I'll just smash it and buy something else, like a used Nokia 3310, because it's just not worth the stress.

Hi everyone !
I rooted my Honor 5C a while ago and everything went smoothly. After installing Xposed, some modules and some nice root apps, I decided to take a step forward.
Lately, I heard of MicroG to replace Google Apps and Services. Since I'm actually and for quite some time trying to degooglise myself more and more, it catched my interest. Thus, according to several tutorials, I used Root App Deleter to uninstall GApps, in order to replace them with the MicroG framework. Then I reboot and... well my device was unable to pass the Honor screen. So I went to TWRP recovery menu and tried a factory reset, which changed nothing, so I went deeper in the wipe settings and wiped... pretty much everything yeah. This was quite a stupid thing to do, now I don't even have an OS installed on my phone...
And of course, I've been stupid enough to never did a nandroid backup. Feel free to yell or mock me, I know I really should have...
Anyway, at this point, it seems that the only available option to me would be to flash a stock rom to my device, but I can't find one for the EU version NEM-L51. Actually, I can't find any stock rom for Honor 5C on Huawei site, nor on the web. I did quite some research today and I swear I couldn't find anything, anywhere. And here I am.
Please guys, can someone help me ? I know I'm at fault for not taking my precautions before doing some risky stuff, and I guess it was going to happen to me one of these days, but I hope there is something I can do.
Thanks in advance for reading and eventually trying to help me if you can.
See ya !

Thanks for answering. I installed that software on Windows, but by searching for "NEM-L51", I got a list of several models : NEM-L51C10B141, NEM-L51C432B130, NEM-L51C432B120, NEM-L51C10B121, NEM-L51C432B104 and NEM-L51C432B103. I have no idea which one I should try to download. Can you help me figuring that out ?
Again, thank you for your help.

i guess thats the only thing you can do unless someone else uploads a twrp backup that you can flash.
to start download honor multitool and huawei update extractor. use the unbrick option use lowest Bxxx number first until the phone boots. may have to wait a few minutes
or idk if you can use the 3 button flash method, considering you dont know which version you have installed previously.

I don't know this tool, but after a quick research, it looks like Honor Multitool has been made for Honor 6 and 7 devices. Or am I wrong ? As for Huawei Update Extractor, isn't a tradition file extractor good enough for this ? I thought I could flash the ROM from the TWRP menu, but it's not going to be that easy, right ?
Anyway, links for B103 and B104 are dead. But why some zip are NEM-L51C432Bxxx and others NEM-L51C10Bxxx ? Are they from different devices ? Guess I can try them all regardless, things won't get any worse because of that, right ?
Oh, and some zip files are OTA and others are FULL, but assuming I don't have an OS installed, I guess I have to go for the FULL types, correct ?
Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm pretty unaware of what to do in these circumstances and I really hope I'll be able to get my phone working again...

the multitool should work for all as honor phones are similar, need huawei update extractor. google which version of the phone you have to see which Cxx you need. yes you need full
p.s you can also use this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/help/to-destroyed-ur-h7-noob-friendly-t3554793

In the end, I ended trying the second method from there : http://www.gizmoadvices.com/install-stock-firmware-honor-5c-b102/ with a file I got from Huawei Firmware Finder. Basically, in case this can help someone, I extracted the archive content in the internal storage (my phone was plugged to my PC while in TWRP menu), then created a dload folder within which I cut/paste the update.app previously extracted. Then I powered off my device and rebooted it while pressing the volume up, down and power button as you also suggested. After the process completed and another reboot, the whole thing was apparently good to go. For now anyway, I receive phone calls and texts, and network is functioning as well.
Still, I noticed something strange. I downloaded the NEM-L51C10B141 build version, but in my phone info, I have the NEM-L51C432B141, which wasn't even in the list of the zip files from Huawei Firmware Finder. How comes ? Plus, I can't know for sure, but I think I hadn't this version since it is apparently the most recent one available. Is it possible that I have now a more recent build version than my phone had considering it didn't seem to want to update beforehand ? Also, what could be the fallout after that ?
Again, thank you. You've been a huge help, I wouldn't have made it without you. I'll be more careful next time.

Well, I looked at the options and it's clearly not the version I had before, there are some differences here and there. Basically, the build number just refer to the latest security patches, is that it ? So if I have a more recent one, I guess it's just lucky me. Dunno why Huawei didn't propose me to update to it though... And I'm still on Android 6.0.
Sad thing is, this method apparently locked again my bootloader. I guess TWRP is gone too then... Long road ahead.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi! I am starting this discussion / poll in the hope that people will think twice before upgrading (unofficially) to Nougat. So far, what I see is 3 outcomes: 1) Device gets bricked 2) Unofficial Nougat has major bugs and people decide to downgrade back to Marshmallow 3) Upgrade is successful and user is pleased. I think that the latter scenario is actually quite rare and I feel for inexperienced people who brick their device. My question, before you try to upgrade unofficially: is it worth it?
People who brick their device doesn't follow the steps as there are written.
for example t hey flash the b370 version without the additional package and they reply 'bluetooth isnt working'
i encourage people upgrading to nougat because of the new ui, the better battery/ram management and the appearance of drawer
i rollbacked too many times to marshmallow, upgraded to nougat without any problem or brick, just follow the steps and the installation is successful.

I have two p9 lites,and they are both running on b370,updated trough hicare (1.99gb),and it works perfectly.Battery life,camera,bluetooth,everthing works amazingly compared to older nougat betas.
L-31 P9, Battery life is much better used to get only 4 hours on screen time watching videos now i get 6 with 25% left so easily 7 (my screen is always at 60% brightness) I'm not rooted because i didn't flash it after but i will root soon using a PC (I'm new to rooting (came from IPhone) yet i can easily do it probably because I'm a very techy person) anyway it seems faster my camera and everything works fine i used to get 1.8gb 4am max now i get 2.2 (with no apps running) also split screen works very well and is not laggy at all, one complain i have is the live wallpaper i used for some reason stoped working after i updated (black hole stock love wallpaper) i went into settings to re apply it as it's happened once before on MM but i said there was no wallpapers at all not even still ones, if someone could give me a link to the live wallpaper I'd really appreciate that but other than that no complaints at all it's much better than MM it even has a F.LUX like function built in to reduce blue light levels to help late at night so you're not wide awake , the pull down menu has Many and i mean Many more functions not just 5-10 there's probably 20+ and you can have more than 5 at one time, notifications are good and work well, everything seems overly big to me but thats probably because i used to have my phone on a 300 DPI before de-rooting and updating, like i was saying it has almost no drawbacks it's very polished If you install it correctly (one package before the other and it only takes 20 mins max and you data is not deleted i used tarp not the one from this forum but it works the same i got logged out of apps and that's all that's happend when i updated)

I agree 100%.
Upgrade to newer version of OS, official or unofficial, is one of the best thing of Android. But people need to be careful with their device, if it's not an OTA update obviously there are some steps to follow.. every device is different and just flashing whatever without attention may cause problem. Reading the steps to follow takes only 1 minute.
I'm on B132, is there a quick way to upgrade to B370? I've tried hi-care app but says no updates
Thanks

I take your points but looking at the answers and questions forum again today, I still think the number of people bricking or downgrading is quite high. I love Nougat too, but I am warning newbies that it might be worth waiting for an official update or if not, concentrating on what you're doing. My penny's worth...

It's really not all that difficult and there are several guides around here. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting MM is pretty much without risks. I'd say go for it.

Well I did an upgrade and although at first I thought I 'borked it' - the build I have is 'NRD90M test-keys'

i'm thinking of trying to get twrp back on and having another go......
I have a P10 with the following info:
Model number: VTR-L29
Build Number: VTR-L29C185B113
With a variety of different models, its a bit confusing trying to find info applicable to a specific model.
Can anyone tell me if there is root available for my P10 and point me in the right direction to get started with it?
Thanks!

Thanks, I've been reading through the forums and did come across the TWRP thread. It seems that TWRP is still in beta and there are still some issues that need to be addressed.
Since there aren't many ROMS for the P10 at this stage, it's probably not worth the risk trying to flash software which is not ready yet (I would rather not risk bricking my P10). I think I'm going to wait a while (with eager anticipation) to see how things progress with TWRP for the P10 before I jump into it.

The root modifies the boot.img only and this file is the same for all VTR-L09 or L29 models. TWRP ist just in beta, yes. But for flashing the zip is this state enough. I haven't any issues since release.
The only two things you have to remember:
1. if you unlock your bootloader the phone will do a factory reset. All data on the internal storage will be lost. So do a backup.
2. OTAs aren't possible. If you want to root, update to newest version before you root. B113 is very old and there're newer version. In this process you can rebrand your device if you want so.
If you need any help, you can contact me. I did this a lot to my phone and never had any problems.
I'm using a rooted huawei p9 Eva l19 on b390 stock firmware. Unfortunately she is sick and her Bluetooth is not working. I read on the net that clearing the cache of the Bluetooth app would help but I can't find the app in settings.
Any suggestions
Pls reply
Hmm, i am on the same boat.
Will watch your thread too, hope someone will have a solution.

Well seems like no one is wanting to help :crying:
Rollback to Marshmallow & Again update to Nougat
Great, thanks Rafa Mistry!
I tried to go back to B182, that's Marshallow, failed at 5%.
But I searched a bit and i think we can use the procedure suggested here, Abhisht009.
I don't have the time to try right now, but i will do it tomorrow night, let's hope we will have good working phones soon again.
If you need back to Android use rom from Huawei website and download Android 6 than use method 3 buttons

I dont have time right now to do this but I know how to
You must first download the rollback package for your p9 model from the huawei website
Then download an older version of marshmallow (not B182, use an older one)
First install the stock recovery
Flash the doll back package using dload
Boot up
Flash the marshmallow firmware
Done
You should probably remove the fingerprints before
Tell me if it works
After trying loads of older MM firmwares, which all gave me compatibility errors, i ended up flashing mOOnlight ROM.
Bluetooth is working, all is good now.
So about 3 weeks ago my 2 year old 3T just stopped working out of nowhere. I debated on whether to upgrade for over a week, but eventually decided to replace it with the same, just to have the familiar ROM, & not to have to learn anything new or mess with anything else, since I'm going through a lot of personal stuff right now. Anyway, I got the phone over a week ago and I've tried everything since then to get it running something beside OOS to no avail. Every single time it goes to sleep in another ROM, once I wake it up, touch is no longer responsive. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I have tried so many different things, in so many different ways. I know it might sound ridiculous but at this point I'm just in tears... I really need a functional phone, and I never would have bought another OP3T if I knew I'd be stuck with OOS....
The process I went through as soon as I got it:
Unfortunately I don't remember the version of OOS that it came with
- Unlock bootloader
- Flash TWRP (twrp-3.0.4-1 due to a thread I came across and was confused by)
- Wipe everything
- Flash recommended firmware for my ROM (posted in the ROM's thread)
- Flash my favorite ROM (Unofficial RR)
- Flash Magisk
- Boot, everything seems fine, screen goes off, turn it back on, unable to use touchscreen anymore.
I then used the unbrick tool, and tried again. Same problem. Used unbrick tool, unlocked bootloader, this time tried to flash this unofficial Lineage . Booted. It went to sleep. Woke up. Touchscreen nonfunctional.
I shut it down. Unbrick tool. This time I let it update itself all the way up to the very latest version of OOS. I go through the entire process again, this time flashing TWRP 3.2.1.0, it's the same thing. I've tried going up to open beta and then flashing my roms. I've tried flashing the rom without firmware, without magisk. With gapps. Without gapps. I always format and wipe everything. I also tried this on the off chance it might work.... I have seriously done the process every way imaginable, over twenty times since I got the phone last week.... nothing ever works. I also just tried Cyanogenmod, but it wouldn't flash at all.
I don't know what to do anymore. I just want to have a phone that I don't hate. At this point, I am too tired and I've got too much going on to figure this out on my own anymore. I would be grateful to pay someone at this point just to help me get this working honestly.... so if there's anyone out there who knows how to fix this, please let me know
Did you buy a new unit from somewhere or did you get a second hand unit ? In the latter case, the person who owned the device before you might have replaced the display for whatever reason, replaced displays often run into these kind of issues.
Also, does this happen on all the ROMs ? It seems you're only flashing Nougat roms, It could be that the hardware is not falling in line with the older software (just a guess). Try flashing a newer, latest updated pie rom and see how that works out.

What does that even mean? Sounds like you are just making stuff up.

At any point, did you flash a full OOS zip (over 1 GB) and not just update patches? That is where I would start, to make sure it's one a completely stock baseline (including firmware, etc.).
You can get the latest full update zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119
@SpaceOctopus
I would try a newer firmware like the
Stable5.0.8 Firmware+Modem_OnePlus3T.zip
I would also recommend the latest TWRP = twrp-3.3.0-1-oneplus3.img
if still not working definitely flash the flash a full OOS zip from the post above which is 5.0.8
else you should try making the jump to a 9.0 PIE ROM, I see an official and unofficial RR if that is your goto ROM, easy to locate in the [INDEX] ROMs, Kernels & Misc. for 3/3T thread

Brand new from ebay. Sealed in the box.
I did try flashing a more recent version of resurrection remix, but it failed. Any recommendations?

I mean, does using the unbrick tool count? I think it completely flashes everything back to stock. Granted it's a very old version of OOS, but either way I will try that next just in case. Thank you.

I did try that TWRP eventually. No change. I would probably have switched to pie a while ago, except one small thing. There's an xposed module I'm really attached to, and as far as I'm aware, xposed isn't available on pie? Or at least that's what I've heard/read. It's the xprivacy lua module that lets you control every type of data an app has access to. I think I've tried looking for an alternative and there aren't any, either. :'( You know, sometimes it's just that one small thing... lol
However, I did try to install the most recent version of RR yesterday, and it failed flashing. Don't know why. I'm going to try again after flashing the firmware. Maybe it'll work this time.
Anyway, I'm also going to try what you all have recommended and see what happens. Hopefully something happens. Thank you much for your help
Ok, well, this time it let me install Resurrection Remix latest version. It may not be exactly what I wanted, but it's pretty goddamn close, and it sure as hell isn't OOS! lol
Thanks for your help everyone! I really appreciate it. I do still really wish I knew wtf was happening honestly with it not properly running nougat ROM's, but hey, this works for me. It won't make me want to toss it in a dumpster and set it on fire every time I pick it up. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Maybe I can get someone to figure it out in the future or something, I don't know. I sure wish someone would convert that xprivacy module to work with Magisk though! I'm surprised nobody has even made an alternative or an app or anything like it really.

I think the unbrick tool does flash the full OOS. But honestly not 100% sure, as I have never actually had to use the unbrick tool (knock on wood!). Which is one reason I decided to pose that as a question.
In any case, if the unbrick did flash an old OOS, best to replace with newer version (or at least the firmware). Updated firmware typically plays better with the current custom ROMs. And old firmware is often a culprit when random bugs occur after flashing a custom ROM. So again, flashing firmware and/or the full update zip (which also flashes the firmware) is best practice in such cases. And if you are in any doubt about the OOS version or corresponding firmware that was installed, it probably doesn't hurt to flash again.
