P9 lite stock rom - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a p9 lite VNS-L31 european version. It has nasty vodafone branding that I want to get rid of. I have tried the metods suggested in other threads here where you copy update.app into a folder called dload on an sd card and restart the phone holding down the two buttons on the side, but all I get is it fail repeatedly at 5%.
I have read around threads but I am none the wiser. Any advice would be appreciated before I throw this thing out of the window because this crappy vodafone rom is going to die one way or another.
Thanks

im on same situation.. the only thing i can flash is c432b160 from huawei site and i can flash only via fastboot
if i flash with same method the new rom 5.0 it will hang on boot up

Sorry to hear Sergio. It looks like this has been done deliberately which makes me super mad. I have tried ADB and fastboot and it still will not let me do it.
Would rooting help to get rid of this crap on our phones?

root? how do you think root will help? and who deliberately made this? i never thought that, but now you said that...
which version are you now?

@ba_baracuss @sergio_f
Hey guys i think you are saying two different things...
About @ba_baracuss i suggest you to rebrand your firmware from your ( C02/vodafone ) to C432 ( european general ) firmware.
To do this you need your bootloader unlocking number first....
If you are on a marshmallow firmware use K1ll3r8e toolkit
If are on nougat firmware you can use HWOTA like explained in this thread.
 @sergio_f i think you already tried everything, really don't know how you will get rid of this.
Maybe you could try to update first to B170 using DLOAD method then see if OTA offer you NOUGAT updates...
All the best guys

Sorry dude i had a false memory..
I checked for it too and it doesn't exist... I was asking if you had even B160 firmware.
Is your device a dual sim one ? Have you rooted and / or flashed custom recovery ?
If not maybe could be helpful make a rollback to your first firmware ( ex. B150 ) or reflash B160 again, but i'm not really sure....
Brick is behind the corner, proceed with caution..

Thanks for your reply @Dadditz. Unfortunately I can't solve it yet.
You said I need bootloader unlocking number first - I do not have it. I have tried that before, going to huawei site and putting in various phone info. At the end it gives a dead webpage, with no unlocking number.
I am on nougat and so followed your link and have downloaded the HWOTA as directed, copied to memory card, then when I enter recovery by holding down the buttons on the side, it does a factory recovery and I still have the vodafone branding.
I don't get what he does in the youtube video at all. I just get EMUI recovery and back to vodafone.
Where am I going wrong? Is it because I need the unlocking number? If so how can I get it when the huawei page doesn't work?
Thanks for your help so far, it is appreciated.

Hi,
unfortunately you cannot rebrand without unlocking you bootloader first and flashing a custom recovery...
This is very well explained on the threads i linked you my friend....
If sergio_f cannot help you ( grab the unlocking bootloader number ), maybe with DC-Phoenix, paying some euro/dollar/yen you could do this...
Do some search about...
P.S.: read carefully the guides when you find one... ( at least twice )
@sergio_f
really don't know dude, if OTA stock doesn't work, try with HISUITE, i don't know if dc-phoenix could help.
Under your responsability you could try to follow some guides about rollback or rebrand ( to your actual CUST C432 ),
reflashing then your actual firmware....
I know it's a s***ty standby, but only you can choose.
All the best guys :angel:

Thanks for the reply. I have done lots of searching and downloading for days to the point where I will soon smash the phone with a hammer.
I have tried dc unlocker and it says this:
Reading bootloader code...
No username !
I don't know what that means. Is it because you have to pay to use it and get a username or something?

Hello,
yes like i told this is a paid program. I never used it but I think it's not hard to get work done...
The site provides tutorials on how to read the bootloader code... here
and how to unlock it... here, and a lot of tutorials are present here on XDA too, just search...
Delete ( eventually ) registered firgerprints, enable USB-DEBUGGING and OEM-UNLOCK to proceed...
Usually somethings missed so it's very important to read the guides at least a couple of times.
Best regards

Thanks Dadditz. I have now got a bootloader code, but cannot enter it.
I have tried the guide on the dc unlocker link and also found one here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701 using SRK tool, but neither can detect the phone.
The droidth SRK tool sticks at 'waiting for device'.
I have enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock, but it still doesn't work.
I will keep trying but if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
Oh, and I have tried asking on dc-unlocker forum but my post does not appear. I am guessing they block new members posts until admins enable it or some bull****.
Thanks

Looking for someone with International/Non-Chinese Mate8 who can help.

I have recently found a way to access all versions of Mate8 firmware for the Chinese model. I found the unreleased B163 version (OTA Update only right now.)
I am hoping that someone who has a non-Chinese model, L29 or L09, with bootloader unlocked, can get in touch with me to help me get the information needed to access these files. I will need about an hour of your time, your computer, and your phone. Please send me a message if you can help.

If by erecovery you mean the original emui recovery, no i cannot. It try to install one and obviously dont find any so i have the message like "please download update file".
Just wanted to update everyone.
I had a couple people willing to help, which I am grateful for. But unfortunately, it turns out that eRecovery is not possible with the L29. My hope is that perhaps L09 has working eRecovery but I think it's unlikely.
So in summary, I no longer require this help unless someone is able to get either eRecovery or an OTA update working on their international versions.
I'm very happy to announce that I have found some firmware for the non-Chinese version. I will update about that soon
So what I've found is VERY old version, B056, for L09 model. This is before release, before NXT name when it was codenamed X100. I think it's pretty useless, but here's download in case someone wants it.
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G984/g77/v34224/f1/full/update.zip
I will continue looking. I think I'm close to a breakthrough right now.

What's kind of your brick ?
I just got brick, I couldn't' fastboot system , but I fixed it by restore backup from TWRP.
I flashed a very old firmware version when investigating how OTAs work. It bricked my phone.
The result is screen never comes on, but I can access via fastboot. Hisuite software won't repair my phone, and I can flash whatever I want with fastboot, but nothing boots up, the screen never comes on.
Probably, I'm done for a while unfortunately. I am going to try to have Huawei service it in China somehow... but it will take a while.

aw crap, very sorry to hear this @duraaraa. good thing about this though: its likely huawei wont bother to try and bring it back to life, but rather just send u a replacement, thus no risk of them finding out about unlocked bootloader, etc

GUIDE: Obtain your bootloader unlock code from Huawei

Note: This applies to the Chinese version. It might also apply to the international version, but since I don't have an international Mate 9, I can't be sure. I just got my unlock code from Huawei the very hard way, so hopefully this guide will make it a little easier for everyone.
UPDATE: Because Chinese text is not displaying correctly in XDA, please see here for the tutorial:
http://pastebin.com/RYSvQq21
Thanks button presses are always welcome. Donations are even more welcome. I've spent tons of time working on this phone! PM me if you want to send a few bucks my way.
AGAIN, THIS APPLIES TO THE CHINESE VERSION (MHA-AL00) APPARENTLY IF YOU HAVE THE MHA-L29 YOU WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL CONTACTING HUAWEI EUROPE
Just running through the process now - Thank you for all your help, you are a star.
I sent an email to get my code to unlock the bootloader, now I'm waiting. Thanks to you

So, please, I hope to hear more reports. I REALLY hope that someone with MHA-L29C900 or MHA-L29C432 can get their codes soon, and help with the oeminfo collection.
@duraaraa
can you please update the title of the thread to mention this is for the L00 as some people sometimes don't read well the first post lol.
As for the L29 it's much faster apparently, we just need to call Huawei in the country where you bought the phone, then they will send it to you in 3-4 days.
I have a friend who asked for it yesterday, an got it today. I will be calling the today again just in case to be sure to get it.
Thanks !

Rollback to mm from NRD90m test-keys HELP

How i can downgrade NRD90m test-keys to L21C432b160 mm with a rollback package ? i tried to put in dload folder but doesent work, i have no root,bootloader is lock(because huawei refuse to give the unlock key), no custom recovery. i want to downgrade because a lot of app is missing , and i want official when they relese it. Thanks and sorry for bad english!
was this updated through official methods?
i have the nrd90-test keys build and i have not managed to find a working image for the DLOAD folder. im also not sure if you can downgrade that easy there is a spanish forum that is oftne linked here with a downgrade guide but you 100% need unlocked bootloader to do that.

No i updated trough Charles app with fake ip adress. I tried to unlock bootloader but Huawei doesent want to give me unlock key because warranty,they sended me a mail.
MANY, MANY people warn about not using that method (even me) because it doesn't let you update correctly, why d'you do that? Now without an unlocked bootloader you can't even go back. Can't do anything, actually. Because to go back to MM you need it unlocked. Any other method doesn't work. Just try to obtain the bootloader code, in the meantime you can't do anything but wait. Maybe next time read other people's experiences before trying to mod your device?
I Think You were using wrong update.app . Tell me your modle number & region . I will give update.app. You can easily rollback with it

Hi, I'm currently running in android 7.0, I done the unofficial update and as it happened to everyone I don't have all the apps, I have unlocked. Bootloader, I live in UK and my model number is VNS-L31, if you give the right "update.app" file and I put it In a folder called dloader that I will make then press [+vol]+[-vol]+[power] it will downgrade to the normal update and it will be the same like when I bought it?

Try dc phoenix. To load a mm update.app. Should work even with locked boot loader or if you brick the phone. I had a similar thing happen with an it's update, I think its because I had root and redo installed.
i ended up sending the device to huawei vip service, they replaced the motherboard. i was kind of surprised, i had expected them to just reflash stock firmware but no.

I installed DC-Unlocker to unlock bootloader, they stated it would cost 4 credits/euros, which every post that suggested DC-Unlocker on this subthread mentioned, but now they are asking for 15 credits/euros.
I followed Rooting new Nougat version post number 5...
I typed the first step to reboot bootloader which reset my tablet, but the second step, flash recovery twrp.img gives me an error
Following these instructions...Root Success, I cant unlock bootloader through Huawei website. Every link i tried for Huawei registration asks for a cell phone for verification, and i don't have a Chinese based cell phone.
Following this program SRK TOOL FOR HUAWEI I have to again register on Huawei website, which i cant.
Does anybody have a suggestions? any written guides? anything for me to follow?
I would much rather return this tablet then spend 15 euros to unlock bootloader.
Why cant it be as easy as my old Samsung devices? Odin was a breeze compared to this.
What am i missing?
Wait a second you already unlocked you BL, why do you need to do it again ? And have a look here,, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-greatslon-mod-t3489232 ..

i will give it a go, thanks for the share
I'm in the same boat. A year later I am trying to get DC Unlocker to read my bootloader code but there is no tap for that in the latest app!
I did it! I paid this other guy do login to my computer with my tablet attached and he provided my bootloader unlock code. I then unlocked bootloader and rooted. Not quite easy but doable.

It was indeed. He has to login to your computer remotely but he's legit. I'd pay him to do it again.

Can vouch for ministryofsolutions as of June-2019. $4 and unlock took about half an hour, think he was having issues with his connection but in the end got the unlock code and used it with success. Had to backup data with HiSuite prior to that though as unlocking, of course, wipes it all.

getting bootloader code hash?

Hi,
Since Huawei closed giving away bootloader codes,
and I've blowed 60 USD on dc unlocker,
is there a way to get the bootloader code hash to decrypt it with hashcat, for example?
Best Regards,
Aleksander
Don't know about that but do you want to unlock your bootloader?

Yes but don't know how to get the bootloader code
Downgrade as low as possible and give it a try.
haexhub/huaweiBootloaderHack: Huawei-unlock-bootloader (github.com)
Edit:
First Download This -> SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader: A simple tool for managing Huawei/Honor devices to unlock bootloader (github.com)
then grab unlock.py from haexhub and replace it. Then its a 'All-in-One Package' - no need to install anything.

THANKS A LOT M8!!!!!!!!!!!
I've started the program but i am just curious how many different codes/how many attempts can there be in total?
Thats a good question, im sure u can find the answer in one of the 2 repos. One is endless (pure bruteforce) vs IMEI + HASH.
I'm still too lazy to Downgrade my Phone to give it a try (with out rebooting every 4 attempts), because no clue if its worth all the effort, as Huawei modding / hacking seems like almost dead.

Ok thanks I've started the brute force the day same as u shared the github links and it's still on attempt around 97k so I'am still trying...
But do u know if it's possible to copy the WHOLE boot partition without unlocking bootloader?
Oh wow! Didnt expect that it might take this long.
And no, sorry. But i doubt that its possible, otherwise some sneaky hackers would found that gloryhole already.

Only Paid atm, and only P20(Pro).
There is free method, your devices are on the list and can be unlocked. See my post.

I have just successfully unlocked the bootloader lock by the Taobao service CNY30. It is done by PC remote control. My P10 phone (VTR-AL00) was firstly downgraded from my EMUI 9.1 to EMUI 5. Then the operation was very fast (ROM firmware loading time was long) & I can't see clearly. At last it was successfully unlocked & the guy gave me the unlock code also. If you guys want to do this, you need to ask a friend who know Chinese writing to chat on the net. Then I upgraded the phone using Huawei official upgrade from the phone to EMUI 9.0. Then I flashed the openkirin ROMs successfully. I've tried all four ROMs (RR, OMNI, AOSP, AEX). All of them have some bugs. One important one is the phone can't be charged when powered off. It will go to bootloader mode when plugged with the charging cable. You need to charge when the phone is on.
Install testpoint drivers ( https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/18B15B9D02C945A79B1967234CECB423 - these worked for my p10 lite), enter download mode via testpoints then use PotatoNV - https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV , i just did this two days ago then installed twrp and rooted with magisk, fairly simple and insanely useful, only drawback is you need to open up your phone back cover to do it. Works without downgrading on Emui 8
THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT <3
I've succesfully opened my phone with dc unlocker
You may want to try the testpoint method. Worked like charm for me. Check potatonv git and YouTube..
Once we find the code, bootlocker unlocking factory reset it?
