I returned to stock by rebranding my GR3 2017 from PRA-LA1 to PRA-LX1 - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

i want to share my story, maybe it will help someone
I flashed HassanMirza01's Elite ROM using Elite TWRP and forgot to backup my partitions (very dumb move), and when i tried to return to stock using the dload method i couldn't, i even tried flashing the extracted partitions from UPDATE.APP using fastboot and it also didn't work, i was stuck because my OEMinfo partition was overwritten by the ROM so i tried to restore this Full Backup because it was for PRA-LA1C185 (same as my device), it worked but it caused me problems, i couldn't make calls and couldn't use the camera, and my boot screen changed from HUAWEI to HONOR, it turned out that GR3 2017 and Honor 8lite are both PRA-LA1C185 but the firmwares are different, so i kept looking for an OEMinfo backup for my GR3 so i can restore it and return to stock using eRecovery and i found this Thread that contains OEMinfo backups for LX1C432 (P8lite 2017) and LA1C185 (honor 8lite) but nothing for GR3 2017 (that is also LA1C185), soo i tried flashing honor8lite OEMinfo using Elite TWRP then i tried to return to stock using eRecovery but it gave me an error, then i tried OEMinfo for LX1 and flashed stock recovery over TWRP, then went into eRecovery and it worked, it started downloading stock PRA-LX1C432B160 and after booting everything worked great and i even recieved the PRA-LX1C432B194 update immediately, and now my phone says it is P8 lite 2017 (instead of GR3 2017) in Settings>About
What i learned :
1- DLOAD METHOD NEVER WORKS
2- ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR OEMinfo PARTITION SO YOU CAN RETURN TO STOCK USING eRECOVERY
3- ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR BOOTLOADER UNLOCK CODE BECAUSE WHEN YOU FLASH OEMinfo PARTITION THE PHONE WILL LOCK AND YOU CAN'T EVEN BOOT TO GET YOUR SERIAL NUMBER and EMEI TO UNLOCK IT
If you are in the same situation as me, follow this Tutorial made by @Youssef Reda who had the same problem with the same phone.
And if nothing works, use DC Phoenix software (not free) to force flash the stock UPDATE.APP, it works even if the bootloader is locked and FRP is locked.

Happy to help :highfive:

Yes it works, but back up your original OEMinfo, and then restore pra-lx1 OEMinfo from the link in OP

I don't know about original pra-la1 eRecovery because i never tried it, i tried honor 8lite OEMinfo and it gave me the same error.
But pra-lx1 I'm sure it works because i tried it
It is weird that we can't use our original OEMinfo to restore but we can use European OEMinfo

Device Won't Boot After "Device Is Now Booting" Screen

Hello,
I have just unlocked my HuaWei P9 and installed TWRP 3.0.0-0 on it.
The device was refusing to install SuperSU as it kept saying the zip was corrupt, even though it definitely wasn't. (I even tried multiple different ones)
Then I saw a tutorial that said this can be fixed by going into the Wipe menu, Advanced Wipe, selecting Data and changing the file system to EXT4. I did that (even though it was already on EXT4) and now my device won't boot past the "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. To learn more, visit: (link)
Your device is booting now...." screen.
Please may anybody help me? I can access the recovery menu and the TWRP menu, but not the actual android os. In the TWRP file viewer, the device is not blank so I know that the device has not been erased.
Thank you very much! I am not bothered about rooting anymore, I would just like my device to work. Any help will be very much appreciated.
Download a custom ROM flash it via twrp (if you di have twrp previlages ) or download official firmware with same cust as your then put in your microsd>dload(folder)>update.app
Then flash it from phone

Thank you for helping! Do you have any idea where I could get any kind of rom for it? The Huawei website has roms for the P9 lite but not the P9
What's your phone model?
I never used P9 I have P9 Plus
So here is an example
My Phone
Model : VIE-L29
CUST : C185
Andriod : MM (hence c185)

Mine is an EVA-L09 and it was running Anrdoid 6.0.0. That is all I know as I have not had it for long. If there is any other information you need, please may you tell me how I can find that out?

I have all of the original packaging, is there any way to find out more information about my device through that?
EDIT: I have managed to find out the IMEI, if that is of any use.
Did you take note of your current ROM version that is on the phone? It should be named like this for example.
L09C432B136
L09C is the model no of the phone e.g EVA-L09C.
C432 is the CUST (Also for OEMinfo)
B136 is the build number of the ROM.
Did you flash any roms or are you still using the original ROM that came with the phone? Also do you remember if you were on marshmallow or nougat?

I did not note any information as I wasn't expecting to have any issues, I've rooted a few phones before and have never encountered any issues.
I managed to fix the issue by using the above method with both volume buttons and the power button - I downloaded "dload-huawei-p9-eval09-eva-b136.zip" and installed that ROM, which was successful
Thank you so much for your help.
No worries. That is usually a failsafe version in case anything goes wrong. Network for 3g/4g is working I hope and build number is displayed fully in settings right?
As different CUST ID from ROM can cause many issues.

I will have to look into what when I place my SIM into my phone as I am waiting for a carrier unlock code.
At the moment, the only issue is my homescreen wallpaper showing up as my lockscreen one, which I created a thread for.
Is there any way to check the original cust id?

How do you debrand ? I want debrand mine
Hello,
I just unbranded mine and enabled Dual SIM.
I have to say it is not free... but the seller support is really great.
So from a bricked one (see my other topic) I revived it with DC Phoenix.
and then with DC-Unlocker seller'ss help, with HCU Client + DC Phoenix we succeeded to flash unbranded C432B105 ROM, and then enable the second SIM slot.
DC Phoenix is for flashing ROMs from DC-Unlocker's support area.
HCU Client is for changing values like Vendor, Country, Model...
I can't be very specific about the exact procedure (I'll let you guess why...) but the things I can tell :
1/ Flashed Warsaw-L01_C432B105_Firmware_United Kingdom_Nonspecific_Android7.0_EMUI5.1.APP with DC Phoenix (Fastboot mode and then Upgrade mode)
2/ Flashed Warsaw-L21A_C432B105_update_data_customization_hw_eu.APP with DC Phoenix (Upgrade mode only, no need for fastboot mode)
3/ Changed some values with HCU Client like :
- Model name : WAS-L01A -> WAS-L21A (not sure it was really usefull, a guess from P10 with its VTR-L09 and VTR-L29)
- Vendor : orange (default phone value from my carrier) -> hw (need to fit the custom APP flashed in step 2)
- Country : all (default phone value from my carrier) -> eu (need to fit the custom APP flashed in step 2)
- SIM card mode : Dual SIM (was already set to dual but forced it again, not sure it was usefull)
- ... (you'll have to guess what and why you have to guess it...)
You'll need 15 credits for DC Phoenix and 8 credits for HCU client... you can think it is expensive, but yesterday my phone was bricked, so his help and support saved my phone, and my day!
Don't ask me to upload my OEMinfo partition as I won't unlock again my bootloader (the crappy message at boot is just not for me...), I won't flash TWRP.
It is not a hidden promotion message, it is just to tell there is an alternative solution to unbrand it and add Dual SIM support.
Bye!
It's OK, I'm in no hurry. I will wait for a totally free alternative like for my ex p8 and p9 lite

I can't use your file with TWRP.
I tried under TWRP to restore with the file
Don't work and brick the phone : only reboot in Erecovery Mode
Erecovery et Huawei Suite do not recognize the device
By luck device exchanged by operator Orange. I prefer to wait until the XDA community interferes with this model.

Modified the oeminfo backup and inserted the above provided oeminfo WAS-LX1C432B102 by @harlock1987
Restored this modded oeminfo via twrp.
Downloaded the full rom C432 and tried to install via holding three buttons but it failed at 5%
Had to unlock the bootloader again, got relocked.
Restored the first original twrp backup and now the nfc is blinking
I've read a lot googling , got the concepts, know how to do it but I have a lot of points to study and it's not clear.
Can anyone help me out? Again, was lx1ac02b114 vodafone, need working dualsim and stable system. I'm from Spain.
Please, any help is much appreciated!! Just need someone to guide me in the right direction with the right files, that's all.
I need the telephone to work, so I will do some test when I'll be in holiday. The method to debrand P10 and P10plus use a modded recovery that probably solve the error at 5%, but I don't know how to create one.
I'm wondering if extracting the different partition from update.app using update extractor and then flash them through fastboot would work.
If you tipe *#*#2846579#*#* then you find a menu with SDcard upgrade, to force the update, but on a forum about P9 they said that the 3 part that you download with firmware finder should have been so:
/dload/UPDATE.APP
/dload/dt/default/update_data_dt_default.app
/dload/hw/eu/update_data_hw_eu.app
/dload/hw/normal/update_data_hw_normal.app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the data update only have a data directory and no update.app and the hw has both update.app and a data directory of 680 Mbyte full with programs.
Any suggestion?

I've extracted each files using huawei extractor.
As my my bootloader said it was unlocked but actually was relocked, any attempt to flash system img was giving error
Took me a while to realize the phone was lying about being unlocked and thought about reunlocking it again. But was too late and had to sleep.
Gonna flash system img via fastboot command later on and report here, hopefully we will manage to do it.
So if I restore those oeminfo files C432 I should flash a C432 rom aswell, right?
Would that be enough?

I am not exactly sure how to guide you, check this thread and my post too.
Here are the oem infos.
Me, i wanted to convert it to dual sim, when i flashed the oem info it bricked actually, it was entering erecovery only, no TWRP, and prompted me to download and install the original firmware, i did so, the first time was a failure but on the second attempt it almost booted, imade a factory reset and a clear cache and it works fine, it was converted to dual sim, and the firmware that downloaded was not the original one, but the one that matched with the oem info that i had flashed, that's how i did it.

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):
rebranding from EVA L09/L19 to EVA AL00c00b535 and back
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-plus-vie-t3843930
The other is for P9 Plus = VIE (different phone, eg bigger display)
rebranding from VIE L09/L29 to VIE AL00c00b535 and back

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?

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.

>> I downloaded the VIE-AL10C00B535 (8.0.0.535) firmware and used that.
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

Bootloop doesn't happen by itself - to get help you must describe which stock/custom firmware you had, were you flashing another firmware and which or trying to root, or you were changing something under root before it started to happen
Solution to unbrick highly depends on the firmware, etc - for firmware is needed full model, cust and number
Btw, does it boot to Fastboot, EMUI Recovery (or you flashed custom Recovery TWRP) or eRecovery?
The Phone model is Eva l19.
The software is shown în The video
The bootloader is unlocked and s-o is The frp.
I tried various versions of The software but The result was The same. Using The method update.app it was working to 5%, The says 6% and then back 5 % and then erron instalation.

Too small and not sharp - can you write what is your firmware version on your phone
Eva-l19c432b388
You say you were installing various firmwares - if you did, specially if you maybe combined various custs, then it was a road to mess
I would suggest you to carefully study posts OP #1 and #2 from HWOTA7 thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
Forget (at the moment - later you could do if you wish but once you solve your Nougat) about changing cust and upgtading to Chinese Nougat.
Use the HWOTA7 method instead to change the cust/location to c432 (to clean up) and to install one of the latest FullOTA-MF stock firmwares, eg L19c432b505 or so
Be careful, use L19 only if your P9 is dual SIM, otherwise must be L09
Follow every detail (but adapted to your case), including Factory Reset and Wiping Cache at the end
I tried this method but i can't recover bootloader Code because hcu client doesn't work on my pc.
