Official OTA firmwares for VTR-L09 for download

Hi all, i found all newest firmwares on: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=VTR-L09
Be carefull!
Because now iam stuck with only working fastboot and recovery. For my model (i only know what i own VTR-L09 device, but nothing more about operator, or brand) none of these FW can not be installed through "dload" folder from sdcard and iam bricked my phone trying to install wrong files using Fastboot.
And if somebody know and can tell how can write different brand, or operator firmware to phone i would be very grateful.

Maybe someone know how to restore P10 to working stage when only works Fastboot and Recovery, but nothing of these methods not working:
1. Restore from eRecovery, because no firmware list for device not found.
2. Restore from HiSuite because at the moment this model does not supported.
3. Dload updates from SD/OTG because of EMUI 5.1 security rules.

Thank You, currently DC Phoenix not supported for Huawei P10 and phone most likely received from Poland, or UK I can not exactly answer.

I try this FW "VTR-L09C432B113_v78079_f1", but same result "Software install failed!" on 5%.
You may understand firmware code structure? Is Cxxx number show brand/operator, or Bxxx number? Can You explain to me firmware code structure?
For example this firmware "VTR-L09C432B113", has 3 parts in name..
Model: VTR-L09
Part-1: C432
Part-2: B113
...and these parameters...

C is Cust that is the region, like C432 is EU, C185 is Middle East Africa, C636 is Asia, then there is some branded custs like Vodafone C02 etc.....
B is Build for the Firmware, higher build is newer Firmware.
Then u can only flash a FULL firmware, u cant flash OTA.
L09 is singel sim.
L29 is dual sim.
VTR is P10 model
EVA is P9
VIE is P9 Plus
Etc.....

OTA can be with two different types Full or Update. For full OTA images is it impossible to extract Update.app file to SD card or OTG "dload" folder and install it? Like it done in this post http://rootmygalaxy.net/how-to-manually-install-ota-updates-on-huawei-devices/?

No u cant, u can extract it but it will fail on update. U must have a FULL firmware to do it, and it has to be signed by Huawei before u can update. The only solution is a paid solution that i sent to u on PM.

Hello all!
Just for theming, I'm trying to extract system.img with "ext4_unpacker" but it's not working, ext4_unpacker not responding and crash. I was able to extract P9 system.img without any problem.
I choose VTR-L09C432B113, 2Go update.zip.
Someone could help me? thanks!

latest firmware VTR-L09C432B123
i look at wrong section?my fırmware is latest?
daily check system update but nothing found

Hey,
I have found the full images for European Model on a page (sorry, can't share the link due to forum restrictions just yet. I googled for
Code:
"vtr-l09C432" full
and picked the russian page from the results.)
I am currently downloading VTR-L09C432B123 OTA FULL, because I had somehow lost my camera app, and will try to reflash it using the dload method.
The page downloads the update from the official huawei update mirrors, so I feel much more comfortable with this approach than with the paid options.
Update currently failing as my only micro SD card is formatted FAT32, and the update.app file is 4GB

Two quotes, two anwsers:
Yes and no.
I have now enabled dual sim on my VTR-L09C432 - I can make a pic of my package if you don't believe
But I can use it only as Dual Sim Standby. That means, I have both sims active and can make calls with both sims. Internet is working with only one sim which I can choose from settings.
I used it the last 3 days and it worked good. I have my private sim with internet enabled in slot 1 and my sim for work, which is only for calls, in slot 2.
I can make calls using both sims, but when I'm in a call and someone tries to call me on my other sim, the provider tells him, I'm currently not available.
The only thing I can't do is using internet from SIM1 while calling with SIM2.
But this is a thing, I can, personally, live with.
Now I'm interested to know, how the L29 naturally works. Are there two IMEIs?
EDIT:
Screenshot of Dual Sim settings, screenshot of call protocoll, photo of package with phone.
And yes, where I live is nearly no signal - thanks Vodafone! It's a big city in Germany an there's no signal...

I checked in Firmware Finder for your phone and that is the only one I could find. Looks like you are not getting any new updates for the carrier you are using(but I'm not 100% sure). In order to get updates you need to debrand your phone to C432. Follow the link here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523

I followed the steps there and it worked fine for me. I too was also waiting for Vodafone Australia to release Nougat update (EVA-L09 user here that had vodafone branded phone). Huawei hasn't given the firmware to them yet so I went and debranded anyway using that L09C432 guide.
Just make sure you get bootloader to unlock properly. Official method to get bootloader unlock code is recommended.
So the steps I noted are:
- I got the bootloader unlock code from huawei, inserted the code with SRK-Tool to push the unlock code to the phone.
- Followed steps to get to B182.
- Then used this guide to get further updates: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70594380&postcount=2 (Do this incrementally, don't jump past a build or more in advance.)

Cannot Rollback to EMUI 3.1 inorder to root and unlock bootloader

Hi all,
I have a huawei P8 Lite ALE21-C02-896
Is there perhaps a way to install TWRP on a phone with a locked blocked bootloader??
Also would it be possible to update an ALE21-C02 phone with ALE-C432 firmware using the volume button and power combination??
I have tried this but it goes till 4% and displays update failed, what do I do??:crying:

I'm having the same issue here. But does the method actually work?

I have managed to unlock the bootloader by getting the bootloader unlock code with DC unlocker for 4EURO.
I first tried your way by trying to downgrade to emui 3 but got bootloop and this has been resolved by update.app of the original version(which i had trouble searching for)
If the downgrade method doesnt work for your version i.e. other than C432 i suggest just unlock it with DC it really works.

I've downgraded yesterday and it works like charm. You must follow the procedure, first install rollback package, then B170.
Both packages are hard to find (Huawei has removed all links from their pages), so you have to google it.
ROLLBACK package is named
HUAWEI_P8 Lite_Rollback transition Package_ALE-L21_From Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 to Android 5.0 EMUI 3.1_C900B500.zip
and Android package
ALE-L21C432B170.....
(for unbranded european version, for other versions it's different one)

Here you can get all firmware's that you need:
https://huaweidl.com/download/p8-lite/ale-l21/
And here you have my GDrive link to the rollback package:

My phone was MEO branded and i found no problems downgrading.
First i used the rollback rom, then i got the balong rom bug, after that i flashed B133 rom and still had the balong bug, inside was 2 update.app files, one (bigger) i flashed first, and the second (inside CUSTOM folder) i flashed in the end through the phone updater (local update in settings) and it solved the balong bug.
However my phone is the Single Sim version.
You can try this if your phone is single sim.
If not use the b170 rom for dual sim variant.

damn it this is crazy.. i bought the "dual sim" phone to run lineage...which is vodafone... which is single sim.. dafuq?!
also.. which can not be unlocked for free like on every other manufacturer... i hate huawei for now...
trying to downgrade to vodafone 589 now.. and will try some other versions .. maybe i get to a working state before i throw it at a wall hehe
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------
were you on the latest firmware available? if so, when did you do the downgrade, if you can reconstruct that?

bought the DC Unlocker code now.. man that was painless.. 4€ totally worth it!
so to C02 (Vodafone) users.. dont bother trying.. you just waste time and SSD space
all of the X Versions out there dont work
btw.. xiaomi ftw in this regard. unlocking is done by official xiaomi software, painless except for 3days waiting for the code. but no proprietary drivers you would need whatsoever on every host/VM config.. samsung always just crashes the server lol, let's see how this one does.. just bought it because the seperate sim slots.

Well I'm glad that at least you have unlocked your bootloader, I'll post a tutorial with all the steps I've made in order to see if someone can use it and avoid paying 4€ to DC unlocker code.
If it doesn't work, well, that is the last option.

don't worry, your explanations already are good. and the rest is pretty clear how to do in once you try.. just put it on an SD and hope for the best
but i think there is no other option, at least for my phone. i tried around 30 different roms, and only the vodafone stock ones werre accepted so i could get back to b589 max, which wasnt enough.
but now that it works, it works pretty flawless.. it is not a new phone but well enough for a secondary daily driver

Revert rebrand

Hey everyone,
So, a couple months back I rebranded my EVA-L09 to a VIE-AL10 through the rebrand tool.
A couple weeks back I wanted to revert back to EVA-L09 to go back to Magic Rainbow v4 or v3.
I failed in trying to rebrand it back and ended up where I am now, I have TWRP installed, I can do the dload methods to install whatever, but I can't for the life of me get any ROM or firmware to boot. It either doesn't go past the "Your device is not trusted" screen or it hangs at the boot animation.
Extra notes: Yes I was on Oreo when I tried to revert, I am currently not on Oreo as I tried to flash a Nougat VIE-AL10 firmware to attempt to get the phone to at least boot to a usable state for the time being, however now it's stuck on a boot animation.
Would appreciate any help,
Cheers.

Update:
I tried to follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2
But as mentioned above the phone hangs on "Your device is booting now..." after HWOTA copies the Nougat firmware files.

EVA is P9, VIE is P9 Plus
Don't mix firmwares, you wll (no wonder if you really mixed), brick the phone
One procedure is for P9 = EVA (and this is P9 portal here):

Be more specific, confirm
- Your phone is P9 or P9 Plus?
If P9, was it L09 (single SIM) or L19 (dual SIM)
- On exactly which Chinese Oreo have you been (cannot be VIE, you must well know what you exactly had and what you were flashing), was it EVA -AL00c00 or what and which build number bXX it was
- Did you go to some Open Kirin/AOSP custom ROM or stayed on that stock Chinese ROM?
You first had to come back to Chinese stock Oreo, not downgrading to Nougat directly from Open Kirin / AOSP
- Downgrading consists of several steps, HiSuite to go to Chinese Nougat and then HWOTA7 to rebrand to eg c432 Nougat.
Up to each step did you exactly do when you got stuck in Booting?
-More precisely, if you downgraded by HiSuite to AL10c00 Nougat, did it boot successfully (or were you here stuck at booting)?
If that step was successful, which (full build name and number) you were flashing by HWOTA7 to rebrand to from the Chinese Nougat?
-Have you tried to switch off and boot again?
Have you tried booting to Recovery and do Factory reset and Wipe Cache and Internal mem and then tried to teboot?

Be more specific, confirm
- Your phone is P9 or P9 Plus?
If P9, was it L09 (single SIM) or L19 (dual SIM)
- On exactly which Chinese Oreo have you been (cannot be VIE, you must well know what you exactly had and what you were flashing), was it EVA -AL00c00 or what and which build number bXX it was
- Did you go to some Open Kirin/AOSP custom ROM or stayed on that stock Chinese ROM?

Sure,
EVA-L09 is a regular P9. Not a P9 Plus.
I never honestly checked which Oreo firmware I was on. I downloaded the VIE-AL10C00B535 (8.0.0.535) firmware and used that.
Yes, at one point I did go to the OpenKirin AOSP ROMs. However, I was able to do the volume + & - + Power to return to Nougat and then re-flash Oreo. After this I stayed on the EMUI 8.0 firmware.
I did not use HiSuite as it never worked for me. It would always just tell me to go to a service center.
I did not use HiSuite. When I returned to EMUI 5.0.1 from eRecovery (?) Restoring over WiFi on the actual phone it booted fine and I then upgraded again to the Oreo firmware.
Yes, I have tried rebooting.
Yes, I have tried a factory reset.
When I tried to revert from a VIE-AL10 rebrand, my phone ended up getting stuck between an AL10 and an EVA-L09. Meaning that I can use the EVA-L09 TWRP but not an EVA-L09 compatible firmware or ROM. I can only boot AL10 firmwares or ROMs however they hang at the boot animation.

In yout previous post:
>> I tried to follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...13&postcount=2
Guide you cited is for rebranding European P9 EVA to Chinese P9 EVA-AL10c00b535 - see attached screenshots from the guide, observe it is everywhere EVA-AL10, not VIE-AL10
Once again, it must be EVA before rebranding and EVA after rebranding.
VIE is different phone (different hardware - bigger display), P9 Plus.
If you didn't care about difference between EVA and VIE, maybe you really downloaded and flashed AL10c00b535 for VIE (P9 Plus) to your EVA (P9)
----
>> Yes, at one point I did go to the OpenKirin AOSP ROMs. However, I was able to do the volume + & - + Power to return to Nougat
This is procedure to boot to Recovery (eRecovery if charging by USB), not to Nougat
----
Details are important, not just when writing posts but really when reading guides and flashing, otherwise bad things can happen ;(
So please, consider again, did you really flash VIE AL10 to your P9 (5,2 inch display)?
(Maybe it worked somehow for AL10b535 because packages for Chinese P9 = EVA and P9 Plus = VIE are similar, but now when returning to Nougat it stays on VIE and doesn't boot)

I honestly can't remember how I did it now, it's been a while, but it did go through successfully, and it was working fine after applying the patch.
But yeah, as of now all I can use is fastboot and TWRP. That's all. I've tried flashing EVA-L09 firmware, it doesn't boot. I've flashed AL10 firmware and it gets to a boot animation, but no further than that.

Boot to Fastboot:
- connect by USB to PC and boot by: press and keep pressing Vol-, then Pow
Ececute from the PC side and copy/paste back your results (is Bootloader still unlocked, what the phone thinks it is current model, cust, build number)
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-product-model
PAUSE
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
PAUSE
fastboot oem get-build-number
PAUSE
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION

@gamr13 Please enter the shown commands by @zgfg in Fastboot mode and tell us the result.
There is not much hope to restore your device after all that you have done wrong → but if you try, what we recommend, we may can recover it.
I can confirm: EVA-L09 is not the same device as VIE-L09 → you can not rebrand EVA-L09 to VIE-AL10, and it is not possible to rebrand VIE-L09 to EVA-AL10 - That causes a lot of problems and you should not be surprised if your device does not boot again.
If your original device was an EVA-L09 you can rebrand to all EVA models, but not to VIE models - That's why there are two threads - one for P9 and the other for P9 Plus.
If you flash oeminfos and related Firmware → it must match with your device!
But if you think, you can flash whatever you like, then your device get "bricked". And here we are now.
BTW: Rebranding back to your originally model can not be done with HWOTA7 - as long the device is on Android 8 ! First a downgrade from Chinese Brand Oreo to Chinese Brand Nougat is required → after this step it is possible to use hwota7 again to rebrand. I have written all the steps in separate Posts after the main Thread.
First we need this Fastboot mode information, then we can see in which status, on which firmware and which oeminfo your device is currently.
Then it's time to flash exactly this firmware with the correct method → for this step, wait for instructions from us.
Only when the device works again, it is possible to downgrade with the correct method and return to the original model, or whatever.
As long as the device is in a "brick", nothing works, since the "brick" must first be resolved.
If it is a "semi brick", a "hard brick" can happen as well, after that the device will be dead and without any function → It teaches you to be careful with flashing and get all the information before you flash anything.
We've also had other issues caused by users doing wrong actions - not knowing what they're actually doing. But both cases were solved successfully - which was not easy:https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/huawei-p9-potentally-bricked-t3841197/

Hey guys,
I've attached a screenshot below which contains all the commands and what I got from them below.
Note about the get-build-number, that was the most recent firmware I tried to flash out of literally 10 other firmwares I tried.
I appreciate everything you guys are trying to do to help me fix this problem. I'm currently trying to survive with a Galaxy S3 Mini, and it's not going well in the slightest.
Cheers.
EDIT: Just as a note, which may be obvious from the screenshots to you or not, the partitions are like Nougat, meaning I do not flash the recovery to ramdisk.

Looks promissing
It says EVA, not VIE - ok
Somehow you are on c900b182 which means MM (not Nougat) - did you rollback to MM?
In Fastboot screen, does it show in red, at the bottom, both Phone (=Bootloader) and FRP Unlocked?

Why didn't you wait, you attempted to rollback?
Now Bootloader is unlocked but FRP is locked (and you cannot boot to System to unlock OEM=FRP)
It can block you fir further flashing ;-(
Do you want to go to c432, is it L09 (Single SIM) or L19 (Dual SIM)?

This was around a week ago, and the FRP lock thing went away when I did the rebrand - as it's supposed to
But yeah, I can't boot the system.
It's the single SIM EVA-L09.

Procedure for rebranding from c900b182 to c432 is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2
Once on c432b182 you should receive OTAs to get back to Nougat.
However, procedure requires flashing OEMIFO, which most likely will be forbidden to you because your FRP is locked and you cannot boot to Systen to unlock OEM.
Which means serious brick
In that case you can try with DC Unlock (sorry, I don't know a better method), it will cost you 15 EUR (probably) and you must ask them for on-line help if needed

I was not writing you about getting the code but to use DC Unlocker to unlock FRP ( carefully read the story, posts #6 till #11, I gave you in the previous post)
Because their tool can unlock both FRP and Bootloader, but it costs more than just getting the Bootloader code
Personally I didn't use their tool (never bricked the phone or so to need it), and cannot help you about the tool further

Update EVA-L09C900B182

I have a Huawei P9 that doesn't seem to receive updates.
EMUI 4.1.1
Build: EVA-L09C900B182
Andriod: 6.0
I have tried using firmware finder but I always get checksum failed before it passes 1%.
I had a look through the Forums and it seems that people recommend rebranding though that was in 2017.
I was wondering if there is any easy way to update?
I am a noob so i want to try avoid rooting and rebranding if possible.

Has anyone managed to update this?
2 years later and I'm still trying...

For c900 there is no newer firmware.
Flashing anything else than c900 means rebranding - but rebranding requires unlocking Bootloader (not 'rooting')
So wandering, what are you really trying to do for two years?!
- Unlock Bootloader (4 Euros):
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/
- Rebrand properly to be able to update to Nougat eg EVA-L09c432b504:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2

I followed that guide but now my phone is stuck on "Type the password to decrypt storage" when I enter my Google password it says it's correct but data on my phone is corrupted. Any ideas?

Are you talking about TWRP asking for pass or Android?
If Android, on which firmware are you, what was the last step you performed?
Also, make sure you used TWRP for MM, not for Nougat - since you were on c900 MM when you started with rebranding to c432 (?)
Btw, you unlocked the Bootloader?

Thanks for the quick response and all your assistance. I managed to finally boot into EVA-L09C432B182 and will write what I did in the rebranding post for others who run into this issue. I still have no updates on L09C432B182 though.

For OTA you must have a valid SIM card and WiFi - check manually to the System Update to trigger checking for an update
You can also try with HiSuite (PC) - latest versions of HiSuite have an option at the bottom to update the firmware
See:
https://huaweiflash.com/how-to-flash-huawei-stock-firmware-all-methods/
You can also update by DLOAD (read the guide above), you must download FullOTA-MF-PV (must be PV), like b360, from Firmware Finder
There is also HWOTA method, see:
