(STEP 1 GOLDCARD)
Finaly i done it all phew i had a really long day learning yesterday from the start i was on the tmobile latest rom RUU_Hero_TMobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
I figured out the goldcard soulotion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
Great video guide here http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/18/how-to-downgrade-your-htc-hero-so-it-can-be-rooted/
01. Download QMAT 5.06 here http://revskills.de/downloads/qmat_506.zip
It’s a demo version so will only run for 10 minutes.
02. Format your SD card to FAT32. Please keep in mind some brands of SD cards do not work. Note sd card must be in phone here
03. Use adb to run this command: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
04. Copy the SD card cid code displayed after the adb command.
05. Start Qmat and Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox.
06. Look at the bottom, there is a text box (beside the “Reverse String” button) enter the SD card cid code you got earlier.
Click on the “Reverse String” button, the result is reversed…
Example: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402
07. Copy the reversed SD card cid code.
08. Go to QMAT goldcard site here http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html to generate your goldcard (yes it says for G1 but works for our Hero too).
09. Enter your email. For the correct SD card cid code, you need to replace the first 2 characters to 00.
Example: From “532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402” to “002600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402”
10. Click Continue and you will receive the goldcard.img in .zip format in your email.
11. Go to your email, download the zip file and save it to a directory and unzip it to goldcard.img
12. Download HxD Hex Editor from here http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/30....html?tag=mncol
13. Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program. Note SD Card has to be in your pc or reader here at this point NOTE ALSO (run the editor as administrator in order for it to appear)
14. Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
15. Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier.
Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
16. Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
17. Click on the “removable disk” tab. Select offset 00000000 till offset 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
18. Click on File > Save. now you can exit the program.
19. Reboot your phone with this SD Card (now GoldCard) inside
20. Use the Official HTC RUU to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 here ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hero...ed_NoDriver.exe
from which you can fastboot boot and/or root your phone with flashrec Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613 (Please see guide below for this)
Done.
(STEP 2 recovery)
You need to install this recovery first with flashrec instructions below
You can use flashrec to flash the patched recovery, from where you can do all the usual stuff (and even put the old hboot back on if you want!)
Notice:
flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working.
So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !
Quick Howto:
1. On your phone, goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.
2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this).
4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
flashrec-20090815.apk
Cyanogen’s / Modaco Hero Recovery Image
Update: updated flashrec here
6. Extract the cm-hero-recovery.img out of the MoDaCoPatchedRecovery-1.0.zip and put it somewhere on your computer.
7. Save both the cm-hero-recovery.img and the flashrec-20090815.apk to your computer, then copy them both to your SD card
(do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them in the root of the SD card itself).
8. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
9. Goto the Market and download Linda File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
10. Open the file manager and goto SDCard and then find the flashrec-20090815.apk file and click on it.
If asked, tell it to use Package Installer to open it. It should automatically install the apk.
11. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
12. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
Then click on the Flash Custom Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.
13. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on
(keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background).
As long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly and can now go and load other ROM/hboot/whatever.
THIS IS OPTIONAL RECOVERY BELOW BETTER OPTIONS BUT YOU NEED THE ABOVE RECOVERY FIRST
I then flashed the new recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3 Great Video guide here http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
(STEP 3 INSTALL CUSTOM ROM)
Then i installed the cool modaco custom rom v2.8 to my phone http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...com/292018/xda/
Great Video guide here http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/
Also dont forget to upgrade your radio here http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...ate-zip-format/
Download the latest one normally on the top to install rename the zip to Update put on root of SD card and boot into recovery and install update.zip option easy as that.
STEP 4 PARTITION SD CARD)
Then finaly i partioned my sd card using the recovery imiage with thease commands directly from the phone in recovery.
I ran the following commands in this order from recvoery mode:
- Wipe data + cache (factory reset)
- Wipe ext partition on SD-card
- Wipe Dalvik-cache on SD-card (NOT on /data !) [email protected] ALWAYS WORK
- Partition SD-card : 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32
- Convert ext2 to ext3
- Installed ROM

hi, was following your procedure in order to crezte the Gold Card. Everything goes perfect up to step 20. After I used to flash with RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe; big mistake. after flashing I can't put phone in recovery mode, it showing a triangle with a exclamation mark in the center, also GPS is not existing at all, 3 G network not present. My phone has been bought from Hong Kong.
I was trying to follow the steps to recovery but useless; flashrec-20090815.apk is not working, even the new versions. If someone can help me with some advices, i'm really desperate. thanks
help please!!!!
Hi all. after I create the gold card, see link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...187#post5036187, I RUU my Htc Hero from Hong Kong with SEA: (South East Asia)
RUU_Hero_HTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_2.73.728.5_release_signe d_NoDriver.exe and I'd seen there is no GPS, Market and 3G, than I'd applied another RUU RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe and this time I have Market, but still no GPS and 3G. I tried different RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622, but no one working, not even the previous two. I tried to use flashrec-20090815.apk in order to flash, but no working. even the new version of flashrec not working. I tried to put in recovery mode holding POWER + HOME button, but after boot is showing a triangle with exclamation mark in the middle. Same is happening if I try to go in recovery mode from ADB (command adb shell reboot recovery). Is somebody so kind to explain me what to do in order to restore my phone at least how it was before, please? My skills in android development are 0. thanks
help please!!!!
so, nobody wants to help me ? i'm really desperate ...........
finally, I made again the gold card, after I re flash with RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe, and works. Than I used flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk and recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img and I created Backup.img. Tried to put in recovery mode by pressing in the same time Power and Home and I got the following screen:
"reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W]"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
BTW, GPS and 3G still missing from menu. Trying to update with 2.8-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-chinese-signed.zip or with 3.0-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip, I got this :
" -- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (663 files)
E:Verification failed

Phone hanging, freezing.... HELPPPPPP please!!!!!!!!

this is what I got:
What else i can do?
Is there anyone here in this forum who has been complimentary to this guide? I ask because I am an organizer of the recognition awards for Achievement in Technical Writing & Guides (to help people use their phones)... And the Android forums are new, and thus there has been very little response to the intention to recognize those who have contributed knowledge, apps, themes, guides to the community.
thank you. see my sig.

I thought the purpose of the GoldCard was to help bypass the ID checking?

It is - the point is that the creation of a goldcard is not an exact science. If your goldcard is not correct, for any reason, it won't work.
There have been many accounts on these forums of people having to try 3 or 4 times (usually using different SD cards) before getting a goldcard that works.

Dave

I got it working on the second attempt. In the tutorial I was reading it advice I use a separate sd card reader when creating the gold card.
On my second attempt I just left the card in the phone the whole time and mounted it through the phone when I needed to perform hex editing on it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you did Rescue backdoor,
Then you must download the ISC from Condi’s page,
Put that file on your "External SD"
Then check if you have debugging on ( On your tab )
1. Connect your tab with your PC.
2. Open Condi's AiO Tool 2.7
3. Use Option 3
4. Use Option 1 and follow the steps.
5. The program will ask you something twice choose yes for both.
6. The program will put something on your pc in the folder from Condi. in '_signed' folder that file you have to copy to your external SD/
- Take card out insert in pc.
- Transfer that file.
- Don't forget to replace your SD card before you continue.
7. Run option 4 "Disable recovery signature" that’s in the "Custom rom and flashing Submenu"
8. Follow the instructions,
9. The device will reboot and you must restart it with pressing Volume up + Power and if the Sony mark appears release only the Power button.
10. When in recovery menu choose install from SD Card and choose "_hack_recovery"
11. Like its said in Condi's tool it will fail and that’s ok
12. Again install zip from SD and the screen will flash and restart Recovery
- Don't worry that’s normal
13. then again choose install from SD and choose "custom_signed_update.zip"
And relax, don’t forget waiting is gold, if you take out the SD card or remove the USB you will have a chance that you brick your device.

Thats nice to hear!, I know that feeling of joy after hopeless trying xD
How did you manage it? or was it accidentally
Hi all,
I am new here. I recently upgraded my Wind Mobile Huawei Mate 2 (HAM2) from Jelly Bean 4.3 to Lollipop 5.1. This forum has been very helpful to me. So I decided to made a step by step guide to how I did it.
The steps here should work for most consumer Huawei Mate 2s from other service providers. But I can only speak for the Wind Mobile version.
Wind Mobile's Mate 2 comes with OS version B128. But to upgrade to Lollipop 5.1 you need OS version 148 on your phone. So it was extra complicated. And it took me a very long time to figure it all out. So to make it easier for those that comes after me, I decided to write this guide. Good luck!
Disclaimer: From what I understand you void the warranty on the phone by unlocking the bootloader. But there is no way around it. So it is up to you. I also cannot take any responsibly for any ruined phones. Firstly there is no way for me to ensure you are following the steps correctly. Secondly there is no way to know how each different phone will behave. The risk should be minimal to zero. But it isn't absolutely zero.
1) Get bootloader unlock code. Its 16 characters and you must get it from Huawei. If you cannot get this code you can stop right here. Nothing online will help you and there is no way around it. Trust me, I tried.
Lucky for you Huawei make it very easy now and automated the process. Before you must email [email protected] and wait for them to reply. (from what I read.)
Now you can get it here:
https://community.gethuawei.com/developers/f/48/t/1048
Or direct link:
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
I logged in with my Facebook. But you can try to create and login with your Huawei ID.
After logging in, you need to give them these information to get the bootloader unlock code:
---Product Model: MT2L03
---Product Serial Number: From the box of your phone. Or you can open up your phone case and look at the sticker on the battery for it. It is 16 characters. (The Serial Number as recorded in your phone memory is only 12 characters. It is not valid here.
---IMEI: From the box of your phone. Or you can open up your phone case and look at the sticker on the battery for it. Or type *#06# on your phone pad.
---Product ID: Type *#*#1357946#*#* on your phone pad.
After you get this code, record it somewhere and keep it safe. Huawei will only give you this code a few times before they start to seriously questioning you (from what I heard). So once you get it, expect to never be able ask for it again.
(Rooting is unnecessary. But you must unlock your bootloader, which will be done in step 5 below. )
2) Get adb for your PC. Open folder to adb by left shift+right click in the adb folder. Or install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
3) Back up absolutely everything you need. Pics, videos, notes, etc.
4) Follow the "steps 1-5 in this link", before doing my step #5 below. I added my notes in brackets.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-cc-variant-to-oem-convertion-t3149767
Follow these steps exactly, one after other:
---1 Make backup of all your personal data because they all will be erased. But do not use twrp for backup!
---2 Download full B148 firmware. You can get it from here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7lyht1oiGRRNEl4dlJhdVhnQ00&usp=sharing
---3 Extract package with firmware to your sdcard. You should get dload\UPDATE.APP in root directory of your sdcard. If there was update to Lolipop previously, delete it first! (In other words extract/unzip package, move the whole dload folder (inside the "B148 folder" after unzipping) into the root directory of your SD card)
---4 Copy this repacked TWRP in your adb/fastboot directory https://yadi.sk/d/xWXOpG_3hf4iu (This is going to the adb folder on your PC)
---5 Copy this zip-archive (OEM.zip) to your sdcard https://yadi.sk/d/gw45fwwfhfKU2 (This is going to the root of your SD card.)
5) Here you unlock your bootloader. This step will reset everything on your phone. If you hasn't back up, do so now!!!
With adb open, reboot your phone by typing Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once your phone reboots, immediately type Code:
fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
(Where UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU is the unlock code from Huawei.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666116
Wait for reboot.
(Note: At the very end after you get Lollipop working, you can relock the bootloader. But this is not necessary and doesn't really give you any benefit. I would just keep it unlocked. Because every single time you try to unlock your bootloader (for something else) the whole data gets wiped again. Plenty of people walk around with rooted phones just fine. And we are not even rooting here.)
6) Enter basic info into the OS, every time your OS reset. It doesn't really matter what you enter. It will all be reset until you finally get to Lollipop 5.1
7) Setting->About Phone->Build Number. Tap on build number a few times until you turn on Developer mode.
8) Setting->Developer Options->turn on USB debugging. If you phone ask if you allow your PC to access your phone with adb, say yes.
9) Follow the steps in this link, starting with step 6. (Because you already did steps 1 to 5.) I added my notes in brackets.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-cc-variant-to-oem-convertion-t3149767
Follow these steps exactly, one after other:
---6 Open command shell in your adb/fastboot directory and execute:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
your device will reboot in fastboot mode.
---7 Flash TWRP that you downloaded in step #4:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
---8 Disconnect device from PC and power it off by holding power button untill screen off.
---9 Boot into TWRP: press and hold vol+ and power buttons simultaneously untill you'll see boot logo.
---10 In TWRP make backup of oeminfo partition - press "Backup" and mark "OEMinfo". Save backup to sdcard.
---11 Return to main menu, press "Install" and select OEM.zip which was copied to your sdcard in step #5. Swipe to confirm to install package.
This package will patch your oeminfo partition and flash stock recovery. Don't press "Reboot" button after completion.
---12 Disconnect your device from PC or charger if it was connected, power off device by pressing and holding power button untill screen off.
---13 Power on device by three buttons method: press and hold power, vol+, vol- simultaneously untill you'll see boot logo.
---14 Update process should be start. (This should only take a few minutes. If it isn't moving you probably didn't move the dload folder to the root of your SD card. )
---15 After successful update to B148 you are good to go to Lollipop.
How to revert back in case if update to B148 will fail:
---1 Switch your device in fastboot mode: power off device, then press and hold vol- and connect device to PC.
---2 Flash repacked TWRP as was mentioned in step #7.
---3 Boot into TWRP, press "Restore" and restore your backup of oeminfo partition made in step #10.
---4 Reboot in system.
9) After checking that you have successfully upgrade to OS B148, delete the dload folder from your SD card. This is done in preparation to put the Lollipop 5.1 update package into the dload folder, as step 10 will explain.
10) Follow the steps in 4.1 Force Upgrade in this link. My notes are below. (Read step 11 after you are done.)

Switch on the handset, enter the idle screen, input a dial number and make a voice
call, then long press the power key to power off the handset.
6. Notes
6.1 Notes 1
Please make sure your battery power is over 20% before performing the upgrade.
Also, we recommend connecting your device via USB from a Huawei compatible charger
while the update is in progress.
Software Upgrade Guideline
2015-9-3 Page 8, Total8
6.2 Notes 2
Upgrade operations will erase user data, it is recommended you back-up your data to
external SD card prior to flashing.
11) Once the installation is all finished, delete/move the installation file(s) from the root folder. So you do not mistakenly reinstall your OS and wipe your phone again. (Happened to me when I tried to boot into Twrp, months after I was done. >_< )
2nd post in case I need it. =)
3rd just in case. =)
Delete plz. Appended to another thread.

If that website doesn't work, try emailing them at [email protected] to ask for an unlock code for the bootloader. It is the official website.
There are plenty of suspicious websites and apps that promised to give you that unlock code. I would avoid them or use them with extreme caution.
Sent from my MT2L03 using XDA-Developers mobile app
During my search for that code I did email them and here is their reply. I have not done any of the following because I didn't need it. But perhaps this will help you.
Dear User,
Huawei Customer Service is pleased to be at your service, sorry for bringing you the trouble, if you want to unlock your phone, you should meet the condition as follows:
1.Please register your Huawei ID in our official website http://huawei.com/en/ on your PC.
2.Log in your Huawei ID on your phone for 14 consecutive days.
3.Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than twice within half years.
If you meet the information, please go to http://emui.huawei.com/en/ and click the 'download' button to login your Huawei ID other than any other third party ID to apply for the unlock code. Please contact us by mail or local service hotline as follows if error message appears.
TEL: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=hotline
Mail: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email
Please submit your mobile model, S/N, IMEI/MEID and error message in your e-mail. We also need to know that your phone is rooted, it can be out of the best working state and part of functions may not be able to work normally. In addition, the system is vulnerable to be invaded by viruses once your phone is permitted to unlock. What's more, for the lacking of fully tested, the third party software will not be compatible with your phone. Unlocking will bring unexpected negative impacts and the device will be not normal, and can not be restored, Huawei after-sales service office will not provide warranty service for your rooted phone, and you may bear the cost. So we strongly advise you to think it twice.
If you have any other problem, please send your feedback to us. We will be at your service to help you solve your problems.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.

2. Before upgrade, i should backup data. Can I just use the backup function in handset which i found from Settings/About phone/System Update/Local Update/? I don't know about TWRP. I posted my questions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/how-to-update-unlocked-mt2-l03-to-t3422775, but the answers are too high level to be understood:crying:......

3. Upgrade introduction
There are two methods to upgrade: normal upgrade and force upgrade.
Normal upgrade needs to start the handset and enter the Setting module. Force
upgrade is often used when the handset can’t boot up or can’t enter the idle screen.
4. Upgrade operations
4.1 Force upgrade
---Step 1. A MICRO SD card of 4G or more should be available. The MICRO SD card
made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax is recommended.
---Step 2. Format the MICRO SD card (This operation is optional).
If your phone’s system is B3XX, you should skip Step 3 and Step 4.
---Step 3. Copy the Software: recovery package file UPDATE.APP and main package file
UPDATE_VENDOR.APP to a directory named dload.
---Step 4. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP and
UPDATE_VENDOR.APP in it) to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.
If your phone’s system is B126 or B148, you should skip Step 5.
---Step 5. Copy the upgrade package UPDATE_VENDOR.APP to a directory named
dload and copy the dload folder to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.

Thank you so much for you detailed instruction! I am very new those technologies, may I ask you a few questions before I upgrade my phone?
1. my phone is MT2-L03 V100R001C00B148, unlocked, bought from B&H. I want to upgrade it to B322. Should I just follow your instructions from step 10 (10) Follow the steps in 4.1 Force Upgrade in this link. My notes are below.)?
2. Before upgrade, i should backup data. Can I just use the backup function in handset which i found from Settings/About phone/System Update/Local Update/? I don't know about TWRP. I posted my questions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/how-to-update-unlocked-mt2-l03-to-t3422775, but the answers are too high level to be understood:crying:......

1) If you phone version is V100R001C00B148, you can just go download the firmware. That version is supported. So yes go stright to step 10.
2) You should back up everything you have onto your computer. Photos, videos, chat messages, etc. Online backup will only backup your contacts, for the most part.
Note: There is a difference between "unlocked phoned" and "bootloader unlocked". The phone you bought from B&H most likely is an unlocked phone. But you will have to check if the bootloader is locked. But since your version is already B148, there is no need for you to worry about this. Just update the official way as per Step 10.

Is your bootloader unlocked. Did you installed TWRP successfully?
If you downloaded some third party app to root your device and it "say" successful, you can assume that it didn't actually work. Without that bootloader unlock code from Huawei nothing else will work.

First off I did all this months ago it works, I have twrp and b322 lollipop official on my phone but could never get it to root, no matter what i tried. So i hunt the web and found kingroot, which will infact root your phone til you uninstall the app. But i have anew problem since then I keep a backup of the original b322 after i got it installed on twrp. have had to use it once now because for some reason my phone wont restart or power off normally, I havr to hold the power button til it reboots, anyone have any ideas what is going on? also my gps is for **** any ideas that my help with that as well would be appreciated. as for the unlock code seriously just email huawei they are usually good at getting the bootloader unlock back to you fast with in 24 hours. after that just save the email, i did and still got it from months ago.
Hi,
First off...props to CCHIPSS...this worked brilliantly. My Wind Mate 2 is now officially Lollipop.
To make things easier, I strongly suggest using FB as a login to get the bootloader unlock code. I tried emailing them and it was a painful process. If you login via FB (I used my dummy acct), you'll get the code instantaneously.
Secondly, to get the file HUAWEI MT2-L03C00B322, just Google it and you can find directly from the Huawei website.
Thank you so much....and I didn't even have to root my phone...
Hi, thank you so much for the great instruction! I got a MT2L03 from Wind also and followed the tutorial, but after I updated to B148, the system gets stuck at the first screen of the logo after reboot. Don't know what went wrong, but when I intended to rollback to B128 and restart the steps from beginning, I found I couldn't find the backup of oeminfo anywhere, maybe I stored it in internal storage and it was flashed... If you still have a backup of orignal oeminfo could you plz send me a copy?
email: [email protected]
Thanks in advance! :crying:
OP, did you update yours to Cyanogenmod 13? I tried to flash CM13 Snapshot from CM 12.1 Snapshot with latest TWRP recovery, and it failed with bootloop on logo. The phone initially boots into the "preparing" section but once it finishes everything and displays "Optimization Completed", then it kicks back into the boot logo, where it just loops.
Thanks. I have successfully update to 5.1. I love to have Android 6.0 on my matte 2. Is there anyway wind Mobile phones can update to android 6.0.
Thanks.
Rebrand-Update-Tool HWOTA7 for Huawei P9-Plus-VIE
The classic HWOTA Tool is available for all newer Huawei models. Now it is also available for the P9-PLUS-VIE
→ It is programmed for use with Android 7 (Nougat) and does not work on Android 8 (Oreo) - with the exception of the Update to Oreo.
Don't use this Tool to update your phone from Android 6 to Android 7 or Android 8.
You must already have Android 7 on your phone.!
Update to Oreo from Nougat is possible, but once you're on Oreo, the tool can not be used again until downgraded to nougat.
→ The same Tool for P9-EVA is different: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
Features of HWOTA7 for P9 Plus VIE:
Update your Firmware with FullOTA-MF Firmware (3 zip files, two renamed) = Using the script /1. Change firmware
Rebrand between L09-L29-AL10 (your hardware does not change on VIE) = Using the script /2. Change location
Debrand from Vodafone, Telekom or other to: open cust ( current: 5 oeminfo files)
Note: If your Phone has SIM Lock, Debranding does not unlock mobile network - you can do that with HCU Client by DC Unlocker
The best feature is: You can update the P9-Plus-VIE to the official Android 8 (Oreo) unofficially with HWOTA7. This requires a rebranding of your device to VIE-AL10. How to manage this is explained in Post #2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77650678&postcount=2
→ How to get back to the original model from Oreo is explained in Post # 4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77650687&postcount=4
Note: To return to the original model related oeminfo is required - should your oeminfo not be included in the HWOTA7 tool, make a backup of the oeminfo with TWRP before Rebranding. If you give it to me, I can integrate it into the tool.
Requirements:
Bootloader Unlock code → if you do not have it, it can be read out with HCU Client by DC Unlocker
Developer Options enabled → OEM Unlock + ADB Debugging in charging only mode + USB Debugging (in this order) enabled
HiSuite HDB in Settings on the phone disabled, HiSuite on PC closed
Working USB Connection (drivers) between P9 Plus and PC (MTP, ADB and Fastboot → Allow access to the phone, accept RSA key fingerprint)
Windows 7, 8.1, 10 (the tool does not work on Mac or Linux or on Virtual machine)
Battery should be charged
Backup your important data (folders from internal storage such as WhatsApp, DCIM, downloads, music, etc. - as well as user apps with data, contacts, calendars, sms, etc.) → The internal storage is erased several times during this process.
Follow the instructions
How HWOTA7 works and what to keep in mind:
Download HWOTA7, extract it on PC and place HWOTA7 on: C:\HWOTA7 - without subfolders between.
Do not change the folder structure. The tool has two working folders:
→ C:\HWOTA7\tools\Windows - you can use: cmd-here.exe (run as Administrator) to check ADB/Fastboot or to flash an image later
→ C:\HWOTA7\update - this is the main working folder. You have to copy in this folder the FullOTA-MF firmware (3 zip files, two renamed)
If you are on custom ROM, first go back to Stock Firmware ("Using script" and "Change firmware" - use the Firmware that matches your device and cust)
HWOTA7 is self-explanatory. It detects what to do and prompts you to press certain key combinations or enter the unlock code.
→ The USB cable between the phone and PC remains connected throughout the process!
→ Only press "Enter" in the terminal if the described step, in the line before, was executed.
→ If you face an error like: "adb: error: connect failed: no devices/emulators found" - close Terminal, reboot phone into Fastboot mode and restart HWOTA7
The HWOTA7 tool is started by double clicking on "update_eng.bat"
The phone is connected to the PC via USB and you start with the key combination: VOL- and Power Button key into Fastboot mode.
When the Bootloader is locked, the tool unlocks the Bootloader with the code. Thereafter, a factory reset is performed by clearing the internal storage = Lowlevel Wipe.
When the Bootloader is open, the tool automatically flashes TWRP and prompts you to press (and hold) VOL+ and Power Button to start into TWRP.
Then you click 2x in the terminal on "Enter"
→ Before you choose: 2. Using the script and 1. Change firmware or 2. Change location - make sure, the FullOTA-MF Firmware is already in the update folder: C:\HWOTA7\update - and two zip files are renamed!
Rename the two zip files of the FullOTA-MF firmware → incorrect renaming such as "update_all_hw.zip.zip" does not work
update.zip = update.zip (do not rename)
update_full_VIE-AL10_all_cn.zip -rename to: update_all_hw.zip
update_data_full_public.zip - rename to: update_data_public.zip
Important - The difference between four different situations:
1) When the Bootloader is closed, HWOTA7 opens it with the code, a "lowlevel" factory reset is performed and the device must then boot into the system. In the setup everything can be skipped (which is possible) - but the developer options must be switched on (1.ADB Debugging + 2.USB Debugging enabled). And HiSuite HDB disabled.
2) If you select "Change firmware" to flash the firmware, the tool copies the ZIP files to the phone in the /data directory, flashes the Nocheck recovery, and installs the firmware. In this case, you also need to boot into the system and check if Developer options with the required settings are enabled.
3) But if you do the step: "Change location" - it is different! The tool will flash the corresponding "oeminfo", close the Bootloader and request the Unlock code to unlock the device and force a "lowlevel" factory reset → In this case (only), you should NOT boot into the system after the reset. Wait until the EMUI recovery is 100% done with the reset. Then comes the message "Reset succesful, device will restart" Now press (only) the VOL+ button and keep it pressed so that the device starts into TWRP. Now click on "Enter" in the terminal. HWOTA7 now copies the firmware to the device, flashes the Nocheck recovery, reboots and flashes the firmware belonging to the "oeminfo". After this step, the device must be booted into the system.
4) If the device boots into the system and you have a black screen, with an input field in the middle and possibly the keyboard (do not get worried) - the Bootloader was locked by the firmware during rebranding. In this case, press the Power Button to restart and hold down the VOL- button during the restart to start the device into Fastboot mode. Close the Terminal Script and restart update_eng.bat. Click on "Enter" in the Terminal and HWOTA7 will ask you for the Unlock Code and unlock again the Bootloader. Confirm the unlock on the device with the keys, then there is a factory reset followed by a reboot into the system. Now everything is fine.
Where can I get the firmware I need?
Note: The firmware must match your device and your "cust" - if you want to update, or coming back from a Custom ROM to Stock firmware - If you do a "rebranding", the firmware must match the "oeminfo" that you "rebrand"
Install "Firmware Finder" from the Playstore
In Settings (3 dot menu/settings) change to "Show only FullOTA" In main window "Add model" Example: VIE-L09C432. Click on FullOTA-MF Firmware (that matches) and "Check Firmware Access" and "Check Availability" If it says: "The firmware is not approved for installation" - I would not recommend . If it shows: "Firmware approved for installation Models VIE-Lxx" (and it matches your device/cust or the cust you want to rebrand)- click on Download.
Tip: If you enable in Developer Options "Keep phone awake during USB charging" you make sure, the Download get not corupted. Additional I would try to open the zip file after Download in a zip viewer to check if the zip file is complete.
The other possibility is, download the zip files to PC instead on the phone. Finally, it is needed on the PC and needs to be copied to the C:\HWOTA7\update
If you click in Firmware Finder on Download you will see 4 zip files - but you need only 3 of them: update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and the third file must match your device (which you like to update or rebrand to) When you see the 4 files, choose the 3 files you need.
When you click on "Share Firmware" - then you can store the Links in a txt file. In this case you can download the files on PC. When you click instead "ok" Firmware Finder will download the Firmware to the Phone.
Alternatively you can use the Direct Link on PC:
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=&firmware_page=0
Enter the correct model name and cust (Example: VIE-L09c432) and press enter. Choose only FullOTA-MF. Click on FILELIST and wait until a new Window pops up with the Links you need for Download. However, here you dont see if the Firmware is approved for installation.
The Third possibility - Firmware Finder for PC:
http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/v2/GetLatestVersion.action
Unzip it and double click on FirmwareFinder.exe. Click on "Common Base" and enter your model name with cust. Search on "Type" for FullOTA-MF and click on FILELIST. After you can copy with right click on changelog and above in the symbol "check availability" you can check, if the Firmware is approved (even with your IMEI, if you like)...
→ In the second post there is a step by step guide to rebrand the P9 Plus VIE to VIE-AL10 (including the links) and update to Android 8 Oreo.

Update Huawei P9 Plus VIE to official Android 8 Oreo
Unofficial method to update European models of Huawei P9 Plus VIE to official Android 8 Oreo
- for VIE-L09 and VIE-L29
Originally, all models of the P9 Plus VIE and P9 EVA should receive the Android Oreo update. Unfortunately, Huawei has decided to only supply the Chinese models with Android 8.
For this reason, there is an unofficial way to update to the official Oreo → by rebranding the European models to VIE-AL10.
Note: This Guide is for P9 Plus VIE → (P9-EVA HWOTA7 with Update Guide to Oreo you can find here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849)
Oreo runs smoothly and well on P9 Plus, the battery last longer and with Android 8 there is Treble Support.
Since it is possible to update P9 Plus to Oreo - Huawei P9 VIE is officially supported by the OpenKirin Team :https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/roms-openkirin-aosp-collection-t3828806
See OpenKirin supported devices: https://openkirin.net/devices/
Here is a small Guide how to go back from OpenKirin ROM to EMUI: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77905152&postcount=833
Preparation for the update to Oreo:
If you are on any Custom Rom - go back to Stock firmware first - before rebrand to another location!
You should be on the latest approved Firmware for your device - if you have not the latest approved Firmware, use HWOTA7 Tool to update your Firmware.
Do for every case a Backup (TitaniumBackup /Huawei Backup - without System-Apps/Settings) before. TWRP Backup makes no sence, because you can not restore it on Oreo! Make sure, the Update-Firmware is copied to the folder C:\HWOTA7\update - and two zip files are RENAMED as mentioned in OP → read OP Post#1. Update your Firmware by using the script (HWOTA7 Terminal: 2. Using the script + 1. Change firmware)
Instructions for updating to Oreo by rebranding your phone to VIE-AL10:
Requirements:
A) HWOTA7 Tool
B) Bootloader Unlock Code for your device
C) Micro SD Card → formatted as exFAT
D) For rebranding from VIE-L09 or VIE-L29 to → VIE-AL10 you need to download the following 2 Firmwares:
A) VIE-AL10c00b399SP20 /Android 7 (this Firmware is required for the Update to Oreo):

→ rename for each Firmware two zip files as described in OP (Post #1)
Step-by-step:
0) Developer Options enabled (7x click on Build-Number in Settings /About phone) - In Developer Options: OEM Unlock, ADB Debugging + USB Debugging (in this order) enabled, HiSuite HDB (in Settings /Adv.Settings /Security) disabled, HiSuite on PC closed, working USB Connection
1) Connect your device with USB to PC and start from HWOTA7 main folder: update_eng.bat - Accept possibly the RSA query on the display of the P9 Plus
2) Restart your P9 Plus into Fastboot mode (use restart/restart and press VOL- /or shutdown phone and press VOL- and Power Button)
→ Note: During all steps USB Cable stays connected between phone and PC and you only press "Enter" in the terminal when the described step, in the line before, was executed.
3) HWOTA7-terminal detects if Bootloader is open or closed - if the Bootloader is closed go to 4) - if the Bootloaer is open go to 7)
4) Terminal ask you for the Unlock code - enter the Unlock code and confirm the Unlock on the phone
5) Your P9 Plus reboots and an automatic factory reset is done with internal storage wipe (lowlevel reset) - wait until the phone reboot to system. Skip everything during setup (except what can not be skipped) - Important: Enable Developer Options with ADB Debugging and USB Debugging
6) Restart your P9 Plus into Fastboot mode - now hit "Enter" Button - HWOTA7 Terminal will flash automatically TWRP for Android 7 and gives you the order to boot into TWRP by pressing VOL+ and Power Button (dont hit "enter" before this step is done)
7) In TWRP swipe to allow system modification - now hit "enter" (2x) in the Terminal - after a short while you will see: Upgrade Options
8) 2. Using script: 2.Change location - you will see a list of available "oeminfo" - use: 1.VIE-AL10c00
→ Note: The Firmware for VIE-AL10c00b399SP20 (Nougat) must be already in the update folder (and two zip files renamed)!
9) HWOTA7 flashes now oeminfo for VIE-AL10, Bootloader is getting closed, confirm the Unlock on device - automatic factory reset is executed, wait until 99% and 100% restarts the phone → NOW PRESS VOL+ to boot the phone into TWRP instead of system!
10) Allow system modification in TWRP and hit "Enter" Button for Terminal - HWOTA7 copies now the firmware to the directory: /data/update/HWOTA - phone will restart automatically and flashes the Firmware with NoCheck EMUI Recovery.
→ After your P9 Plus has started into the system - you may see a black screen with an input field and a keyboard - if yes, go to 11) - if no, go to 13)
11) Close HWOTA7 Terminal and press Power Button on P9 Plus to restart your Phone, restart phone, in the moment of restart press VOL- Button to boot into Fastboot Mode → Bootloader is closed. BTW: Chinese Brands dont have FRP.
12) Open update_eng.bat, click enter, enter the Unlock code, confirm Unlock on phone, phone makes a Factory reset with lowlevel wipe. Then the P9 Plus starts automatically into the system. Now you have already rebranded to VIE-AL10c00b399SP20 (Nougat) :good:
13) Accept the terms and conditions (Huawei + Google Services) and skip the rest, what can be skipped. Do not be nervous, your P9 Plus has no IMEI at the moment and no mobile network. This is normal. In the settings in the search bar, search for "Trust Space" and "HiSuite HDB" - disable both. Enable again Developer Options and inside: ADB Debugging and USB Debugging (in this order).
14) Click enter in Terminal, select 2. "No, I would not" and HWOTA7 will be closed. → Change now the Firmware in the update folder to: VIE-AL10C00B537 (8.0.0.537) OREO (remember: two zip files has to be renamed!)
15) Start again update_eng.bat. Reboot phone into Fastbood Mode. Hit "enter" for Terminal - TWRP will be flashed automatically - reboot with VOL+ and Power Button into TWRP - allow system modification - hit "enter" in HWOTA7 Terminal
16) Use Upgrade options: 2.Using the script - 1.Change firmware (Same brand update /but Oreo)
17) Click enter in Terminal, Firmware will be copied to: /data/update/HWOTA - "System update should start automatically" → if you receive any error like: "connect failed, no devices/emulators found" - go to 18) - if everything is okay go to 19)
18) Close HWOTA7 Terminal and use menu of TWRP to reboot into Bootloader, start again update_eng.bat - TWRP will be flashed again - boot into TWRP with VOL+ and Power Button - allow system modification - hit "enter" in HWOTA7 Terminal - Firmware will be copied to: /data/update/HWOTA - Phone will make reboot and flash the Firmware for Oreo automatically.
19) You have now successfully updated to Android 8. :good: Phone will reboot into VIE-AL10C00B537 (8.0.0.537) OREO
→ You should accept the terms and conditions (Huawei + Google Services) - otherwise Playstore will not work later! Do not enable WLAN and do not set up your phone (Fingerprint etc)right now! - skip, what can be skipped. → You will have "unknown IMEI" and no mobile network at the moment, that is normal. Open Settings/System and enable again Developer Options/ADB+USB Debugging. In Settings /Security+Privacy you can find "Trust Space" - disable it - and in same menu you find in "More" "Allow HiSuite to use HDB" - disable it! → Now we must help the phone to recognize the IMEI and enable mobile network and NFC on VIE-L09 and Dual-SIM on VIE-L29 as well as disable Chinese apps, which we do not need in Europe (and some of them would not work here)

TWRP for OREO: P9-VIE_EVA-8.0.0-TWRP-v4.img https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904008816 - we need this to flash the important changes to system without the need of Root!
This TWRP is made by @Pretoriano80 for Honor 9 Lite. I made just small changes for assert hi3650. You can backup and restore everything, except data! There is no access to /data - means: you can not do Factoryreset from TWRP - and decryption of the internal storage for the TWRP session is not working. → For Backkup and restore data you can use HiSuite or Huawei Backup or Titanium Backup. MTP ist working, when you just disable/enable it once.
Network-Patch zip files (new released 03.03.2019):
→ select the zip according to your original model (which you had before rebranding to VIE-AL10)
→ Copy the zip file to the external SD or to the USB Stick, which you connect to P9 Plus after with OTG cable. Since TWRP can currently not access /data (internal storage) - you can not flash this Patches without → external SD or USB OTG
→ The Network Patch zip files can be used for b537. If you are already on Oreo and have an older Firmware (b528, b535), you must update first to b537.
→ Update from older Oreo Firmware to b537: see Post #5

21) Copy the downloaded TWRP (from STEP 20) into the folder C:\HWOTA7\tools\Windows - connect P9 Plus with USB to PC - right click on cmd-here-exe (run as administrator) - type: adb reboot bootloader (enter, to restart your P9 Plus into Fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk P9-VIE_EVA-8.0.0-TWRP-v4.img
22) Disconnect the USB cable from P9 Plus and press (with the left hand) VOL+ and Power Button (with the right hand) and keep pressing until the Phone is rebooted into TWRP.
23) On the first Screen click on "Cancle" (because decryption is not working for now) but swipe to confirm to "Allow System modification"
→ Go to: Install /select storage: Micro SD (or USB-OTG) and flash the downloaded NetworkPatch.zip file. If you like, you can use the function down left "Add zip file" and choose the VIE-EVA-FaceUnlock-Oreo-v1.5.zip
24) Swipe to confirm flashing the Network Patch (and the optional added VIE-EVA-FaceUnlock-Oreo-v1.5.zip file)
25) If you had used an older NetworkPatch before flashing the newest one - go back to the main menu of TWRP, go to wipe → advanced wipe and choose only "cache" (not Dalvik) → but if you are new on Oreo b537 you can skip this step
26) Reboot to the system
27) Finally, Playstore and any keyboard is needed. Download the apks from here (February 2019): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290472
28) Install it, enable keyboard, open Playstore and log into your account. After that reboot your phone. Now you can update apps, download and install your favorite apps and additional all other Google apps from Playstore → do not flash GApps instead!
29) After you have installed all required files, you have currently TWRP installed → this is good for Users, which like to have Root and disabled OTA.
Root Guide can be found here: LINK WILL COME SOON
→ But if you like to enable OTA instead:
A) Download and flash: Enable-Hwota.zip from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290480
B) Go back to the main menu of TWRP and Reboot to Bootlader
C) flash in Fastboot mode the Stock EMUI Recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk VIE-b537-EMUI-RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Download from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397898696
Reboot Phone and enjoy
If you search for older files (Network Patches etc) for older Firmwares, you can also search my folder on Android Filehost:
https://androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=131030
Note: It is not possible to lock the Bootloader on to VIE-AL10 rebranded phone with Network Patch and FaceUnlock! This would revert all the required changes and in the worst case push your phone into a bricked state.
→ But what you can do with installed EMUI Recovery (instead of TWRP): You can do from settings /system /reset a Factoryreset with wipe of the internal storage (to clean up previous instalations) → in this case the Factoryreset lowlevel does not revert the changes! The only difference is: When you get Push notifications, the Badges over the app symbol on Homescreen will change from numbers to points (which is standard on Oreo) → which is currently not change able in settings without Factoryreset.
Known issues:
VoLTE and WiFi-Calling is is visible in the menu - but does not work for now!
If you want synchronisation between Google calendar and EMUI calendar - you need to install Google calendar from Playstore.
If you like to use Google Assistant and have problems to teach this app with your voice "Hello Google" - just open settings /apps & notifications /standard (default) apps - and choose Google Assistant as default app (then it will work).

Instructions for root
Instructions for root access
Root is not required, but if you still wish, here is the guide:
Due to the fact TWRP cannot access the encrypted data partition, you cannot JUST flash Magisk!!
→ A) But you can flash Magisk with TWRP using a workaround
→ B) Alternatively it is possible to flash a Magisk patched ramdisk.img in Fastboot mode
A) Workaround for flashing Magisk with TWRP – for Advanced Users:
1) Download the favorite Magisk version from here (all releases): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
The actual and newest stable version you can get always from here too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
2) Copy the flashable Magisk-vXX.zip and Magisk Manager apk to external SD – and make sure, you have Developer options with 1) ADB Debugging and 2) USB Debugging (in this order) enabled.
3) Reboot device to TWRP, cancle Password, allow system-modification (swipe to confirm)
4) On the main menu go first to "Mount" - down left click on "Select storage" and choose "Micro SD"
5) Go back to main menu and open "Advanced" and open "Terminal"
NOTE:
If you have got a OTA-Firmware Update with “Patch02” or “Patch01” before flashing the Network Patch (after Network Patch, you will not see this in "About phone"!) or if you don’t remember, then use following both Lines in Terminal, but if you are sure, you have only Firmware without Patch 01 or Patch02, then use just "Keep Force encrypt" Line. Write the Lines in TWRP/Terminal exactly.
6) Write following code with Terminal:
Code:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/cache/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/cache/.magisk
→ Confirm each Line with blue/white checkmark on keyboard, before writing the next Line and confirm also the second Line (if you use two)
7) Go back to the main menu to "Install" and flash Magisk - after that reboot phone without wipe of Dalvik/Cache!
8) Search for Magisk Manager on Homescreen - if it is not installed, just install the Magisk Manager apk
9) Open Magisk Manager → everything should be okay
10) Open normal settings /apps & notifications /Magisk Manager /permissions and make sure Magisk Manager has permission for storage.
11) From Magisk Manager menu above left, section “Downloads” – download and install directly “Busybox for Android NDK” by osmosis – save log and reboot phone.
→ If Magisk get a major update, uninstall first Magisk from Magisk Manager and use “uninstall” button. “Uninstall complete” The phone restarts automatically. After that you can flash the new Magisk and reflash the modules.
B) Flashing Magisk with patched ramdisk.img in Fastboot mode:
If you don’t want flash Magisk with the TWRP workaround – you can use a Magisk patched ramdisk.img instead.
1) You can patch ramdiks.img from update.app by yourself, with following method:
Extract the update.zip of the current installed Firmware, because we need the UPDATE.APP.
Download Huawei Extractor v0.9.9.5 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
In the settings of the Huawei Extractor disable "verify header checksum" - then put with drag and drop the UDPATE.APP into Huawei Extractor and extract by right click the RAMDISK.img (on earlier Android Versions it would be: BOOT.img)
2) Copy the original RAMDISK.img to your phone to the internal storage in the folder: Download
3) Install the latest Magisk Manager: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
4) Open Magisk Manager, Magisk Manager ask you "Install Magisk-vx.zip?" - first click on: no thanks
5) Since internal storage is encrypted by default, you must first enable the checkbox: "Preserve force encryption"
5) If you have installed a OTA-Firmware Update with Patch01 or Patch02 – then enable additional the checkbox "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" in Magisk Manager.
6) Then click on "Install" - "You want to install Magisk-v1x.zip now?" - Install - Patch Boot Image File...
7) Navigate to Download folder, and choose RAMDISK.img
8) Magisk will now patch the RAMDISK.img and and once that's done, Magisk will save the patched ramdisk.img with the new name: patched_boot.img in the "Download" folder on internal storage.
→ Do not be confused - this is just named “patched_boot.img, but it is in fact the patched ramdisk.img !
9) Go to Settings /Apps & notifications/Apps and uninstall Magisk Manager
10) Now you must flash the “patched_boot.img” – Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode
Android 8:
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
10) Reboot phone, install again newest Magisk Manager, open it and you will be asked: "Requires Additional setup - to you want to proceed now" Yes. → This step is required for to work properly.
Google Playstore certification
You can try it with method by @zgfg:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79070144&postcount=1574
→ If it does not work you can try advanced method:
1) Set your phone into Flight Mode (no network should be connected)
2) Open Settings/Apps & notification/Apps and down right in the dot menu click on: show systemprocessing
3) Go step by step into following Apps (if there): Google - Google Play Store - Google Play Services - Google-Service-Framework - each has the entry: storage - delete ONLY cache /not data
4) Open with Mixplorer the directory:
/data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs - search for the xml file: finsky.xml
5) Open finsky.xml with TEXT Mixplorer Text Editor
6) Search inside finsky.xml for: <boolean name="device-google-certified"value="false" - change it to:
Code:
<boolean name="device-google-certified"value="true"
- means, you change only "false" to: "true"
7) click on the save symbol to save the changes! - close Mixplorer and everything in the Background
8) Disable Flight Mode (so Phone search for network connections)
9) Reboot your Phone
10) Open Playstore menu /settings/ =certified
If you have problems with current version of Magisk and using Gpay (Google Pay), try following workaround:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79028818&postcount=5
How to uninstall Magisk:
A) Before you doing an OTA Update, it is required to uninstall Magisk → and also make sure, to have Stock EMUI Recovery installed (instead of TWRP).
B) In case for a “major” Magisk update it is also sometimes necessary to uninstall Magisk before installing the new version, because with directly update the phone could get a Bootloop. (But normally Magisk updates can be done directly and without uninstalling Magisk before).
C) If your device can not boot into system due to an incompatible Magisk Module.
a + b) If you can boot normally to system, you can uninstall Magisk from Magisk Manager - just use the "Uninstall" button “Uninstall complete”. Magisk will be uninstalled and Magisk files deleted from /data directory. Thereafter, the P9 is restarted automatically.
c) If your device can not boot into system due to an incompatible Magisk Module, you can flash the original EMUI Stock ramdisk.img (which is not patched with Magisk)
→ ramdisk.img must match the Firmware version of your device
For the current Firmware VIE-AL10 b537 you can download the original ramdisk.img here:
VIE-b537-RAMDISK.img:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397898698
You can flash it in Fastboot Mode:
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk VIE-b537-RAMDISK.img
Alternatively, you can flash the image with TWRP.
In this case you flash the img with TWRP by using: "flash img" - but important is, you must flash it to: ramdisk (and NOT to recovery_ramdisk !!)
Soon you have installed the EMUI ramdisk.img, the device can boot to system again and Magisk is disabled.

How to go back from Oreo to Nougat → and rebrand back
A) Method by using HiSuite (on PC):
1) If you have Magisk Root - uninstall Magisk with Magisk Manager (Button Uninstall)
2) Make sure, you have EMUI-Stock-Recovery installed (it does not work with TWRP)
3) Download Huawei HiSuite: https://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
4) Update HiSuite on PC to (minimum) version: 8.0.1.302_OVE and connect your Phone with PC and HiSuite.
5) Let HiSuite install HiSuite App on your Phone - accept the Permission requests. Once that is done:
6) Click on "Systemupdate" - a new window pop up and show you your current version, click on the Link "Change version" - then you can downgrade to the latest Android 7 AL10 firmware
7) → then it is possible to use HWOTA7 again for rebranding back...
B) Method by using HuRUpdater → requires external SD or USB OTG:
If you want to go back from unofficial Oreo to Nougat and rebrand back to your original brand, you can do it with simply steps.
→ Note: HuRUpdater can not only be used for Downgrade, it can also be used for Update Firmware - It depends only on which firmware you pack together with HuRUpdater in the folder (which you have created on external SD or USB OTG)
→ The Firmware must be FullOTA-MF (same renaming than with HWOTA7 Tool)
1) Bootloader must be open
2) Flash TWRP for Oreo Download TWRP by Pretoriano80: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903998750
3) Backup your data with Huawei Backup (because TWRP can not acces data for now, because it has no encryption/decryption support)
4) Make a folder on your external SD and name it: Downgrade or Update (or however)
5) Copy the 3 Firmware zip files into the folder and make sure, two zip files are renamed (same as you did for HWOTA7)
6) Download HuRUpdater_0.4.zip from here:http://www.mediafire.com/file/r14sor2g4cbugzw/HuRUpdater_0.4.zip
7) Copy HuRUpdater into the same folder together with the firmware zip files. If you have the Nougat AL10 zip files inside, you will downgrade.
The folder contains now 4 files:
HuRUpdater_04.zip
update.zip
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip
8) Boot into TWRP. It will ask you for password. Just cancle. In TWRP open "Wipe" - but dont wipe anything - you must use the Button on the right Format Data. Confirm with typing: yes. Soon data is formatted, go back to the main menu and open Reboot - but do not reboot System - you must Reboot Recovery
→ Note: Format data is only important until we have TWRP with working data decryption
9) After TWRP is rebooted go "Install".
10) Navigate to the folder which containes the files and flash ONLY HuRUpdater_04.zip In some seconds the Akku vibrates - in this moment press for one second the VOL- Button. Now HuRUpdater will flash automatically the FullOTA-MF Firmware.
11) Once it is done, use on the left: Wipe Cache Button. After go back to the main menu and Reboot RECOVERY.
12) Your device has rebooted now into EMUI Stock Recovery. From there perform Wipe Cache Partition and Factory reset and boot to system.
Once you are back to Nougat - you can use again the HWOTA7 Tool to rebrand back to your original brand. Just use Change location (for your original cust) and make sure, the Firmware is in the update folder..

How to update older Oreo Firmware to → b537
How to update manually the Firmware from Oreo b528 or b535 to → b537
This method is based on VIE-EVA-Nocheck EMUI-Recovery for Oreo.
Required for the Firmware update is installed TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903998750
Additonal information to the manual Firmware-Update from b535 (or even from b528) → to b537 → or even to next version in the future:
1) Download current Firmware VIE-AL10C00B537 (8.0.0.537):
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3133/g1699/v200303/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3133/g1699/v200303/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3133/g1699/v200303/f1/full/VIE-AL10_all_cn/update_full_VIE-AL10_all_cn.zip
2) Let Windows show file extensions (to make sure you have at the end not zip.zip) and rename the last two zip files - (update.zip - do not rename)
update_data_full_public.zip - rename to: update_data_public.zip
update_full_VIE-AL10_all_cn.zip - rename to: update_all_hw.zip
3) Download FirmwareUpdate_onOreo_from-externalSD.zip file and extract (unzip) it:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397898767
Inside is the folder: HWOTA and contains two files. Do not rename that files.
4) Create a folder on your external SD with the Name HWOTA in the main directory (dont use another name!) - or copy the HWOTA folder from unzipped Firmware-Update.zip instead to your external SD
5) So you have now the folder HWOTA on your external SD (without Subfolders between)
6) The folder HWOTA must contain:
eva_vie_recovery_nocheck.img
ExtSD-FirmwareUpdateScript.zip
update.zip
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip
7) Now boot to TWRP, cancle Password, allow system modification, go to Install, select storage: Micro SD - and flash ONLY the one zip file with the name: ExtSD-FirmwareUpdateScript.zip
8) The phone will automatically reboot and needs a while to flash automatically the No Check EMUI-Recovery and this needs also a while until the Firmware will be flashed automatically as well as Phone reboots after. Just wait, until it boot up.
→ if you have Root, there is no need to Unroot before and you will loose no installed apps but probably Playstore and/or Keyboard (if the apps were not updated, if the were updated, you will not loose Playstore and not Keyboard). If Playstore is missing, just install the Playstore apk and Keyboard apk and reboot phone. → Links for the apks in Post #2
Nothing will be wiped, except mobile network settings are gone and some additional Chinese Apps are installed.
9) Flash again TWRP and select your NetworkPatch.zip (that matches your real device) and in the middle you find the button "add zip" just add: Faceunlock.zip
→ flash both together with swipe to confirm and reboot phone without wipe anything.
Note: You must use the new released Files from Post #2 step 20-29: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77650678&postcount=2
10) You are now on b537 - The Chinese Apps are automatically deleted and everything works as it should
Enjoy :good:
And here it is ? Can't wait to try it. On holidays right now, I'll test it by two weeks, I just need to recover a Windows laptop as I'm using Linux right now. Anyway, thank you a lot for the effort!
thank you so much for the hardwork. Love to see this happening for the p9 plus. keep the good work up. i will try out the tools this weekend.
Just to be sure, to update an european modelo (c432) we need to follow instruction in post 1 and post 2 ?

Hi, welcome in this Thread
→ Reading OP (Post # 1) is required because some information from there is required in Post # 2. OP is a general overview of how the tool works and what to look for.
Post # 2 is an exact guide for rebranding the European model to VIE-AL10 and updating to Android Oreo.
On Oreo, initially no IMEI is detected and there is no mobile network available - the P9 Plus must therefore be adapted. This is done by means of a zip file, which you choose according to your original model. The zip must be flashed with TWRP, after a factory reset must be performed with the EMUI Stock Recovery.
Yes, if you want your device to work with the Chinese firmware on Oreo, then you must read both Instructions and following the Guide.
I spent a lot of time for free into this project, so that the user is able to get the "impossible" possible. Everything was tested thoroughly by me and others.
FYI: I am not responsible for any mistakes or bricks that occur if someone do not follow the instructions exactly
Post #3 - Root instructions → ready
Fantastic to see this tool also for P9 Plus!
Thank you very much for the time and the work spent to create this tool!

That's not a problem
That's always on every Android version from Marshmallow /Nougat /Oreo above..
If the Bootloader is opened you will get this message as long the Bootloader is unlocked.
And there's nothing what could be done to hide this message.
But the other side is, without unlocked Bootloader you couldn't change anything.
And if you would relock the Bootloader - you would loose all the settings necessary for European VIE to work properly on Oreo
First of all, thanks @Tecalote and team to let my Vie-p9 plus fly again^^, i followed each step carefully and successful debrand and upgrade to Oreo, everything works like a charm and after restore all the apps and all works without problem only NFC(because i need google pay as my transport payment method), the nfc icon show in the pull down drawer but it grey out and no respond. And inside setting> device connection> only have bluetooth, Multi-screen, usb and printing options but only missing the NFC.
is it any way to fix it?

Hello @htc_black
What was your original model? VIE-L29 ? - okay, I am sorry. I saw just right now, that L29 includes also NFC - I did not know that. I will upload corrected zips for L29 in about 30 minutes.
I thought, it is the same than on EVA (EVA L09 = NFC, no Dual SIM, L19+L29 = no NFC, but Dual SIM) - but VIE has NFC on L09 as well as on L29....
So, it can be fixed, no problem.
I had only L09 to test and dont own L29
After upload the corrected zip, please install and let me know, if it works! Thanks

That's the Google translation:
A little instruction on how to get RooT. And so, everything that you do, as always, is at your own peril and risk! All data is erased when unlocked! Make BACKUP !!! Is always!!!! I. Unlocking Boorloder-a (required for flashing the phone and everything connected with it): 1. Go to settings -> system -> About phone -> Build number (7 clicks) (Congratulations !!!! You are a developer!) < - About phone -> For developers: Enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking. 2. We connect the phone to the computer and install the ADB usb driver (on the Internet), a connection request should appear on the phone, you need to allow it. 3. Extract files from the N20_utils.rar archive (10.87 MB) (preferably not very far, the root of the disk or the created folder N20 will be there). Go to the Unlocked Bootloader folder and run the bat file, the phone will reboot and display the request "unlock? Yes / no" rocker up - yes / rocker down - no. Naturally, you need to press the volume up, otherwise there were so many actions)) 4. Congratulations! Now, with each reboot, you will have an Orange state (5-second inscription), and the ability to do whatever you want with your phone. II. We sew! 1. For the lazy (who value their time). Download the SP Flash tool (Internet), from the N20_utils.rar archive (10.87 MB) select MT6763_Android_scatter and boot_magisk_20 files for the boot partition, lk_pached for lk, etc. you can even twrp instead of native recovery. Turn off the phone, connect it to the computer and click Download in the SP Flash programs. After the OK circle appears, disconnect and reconnect the cable (easier than a forced reboot). We turn on the phone and put the magisk manager (internet). Congratulations!!! You have a root and no Orange State label! 2. Who wants more and himself: phone to computer -> go to the Unlocked Bootloader folder -> run CMD -> write "fastboot flash recovery" put a space and move the TWRP file with the mouse to the window (fast path to the file) and press ENTER -> reboot the phone to fastboot. Congratulations!!! you have TWRP. Boot into TWRP, skip the encrypted DATE message, go to formatting and format the DATE. Go to mount and connect MTP. A phone will appear on my computer, we drop the files DisableForceEncryption_Treble (disable date encryption), orange_state_disabler_v0.3 (remove orange_state) and magisk.zip (internet) into the memory section. In TWRP, click install all this and rejoice! 3. Who has nothing to do at all: go to the forum thread Development and porting of GSI firmware (Post bullik01 # 71222655) and try what catches your eye.

That's the Google translation:
A little instruction on how to get RooT. And so, everything that you do, as always, is at your own peril and risk! All data is erased when unlocked! Make BACKUP !!! Is always!!!! I. Unlocking Boorloder-a (required for flashing the phone and everything connected with it): 1. Go to settings -> system -> About phone -> Build number (7 clicks) (Congratulations !!!! You are a developer!) < - About phone -> For developers: Enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking. 2.

Hi, were you by any chance able to get a copy of these files ,Please upload if posssible
The original links are broken and the internet seemed to wipe all traces out, I'm looking for the N20_utils and possibly the Disable force encryption one
Good day
Had the same problem, (English not so good but I know you'll understand). What I did was just installing Corvus OS rom, the 11th version. It's been quite a while since i installed it.
Tried Lineage 18.1 and adding the smallest gapps available, but everytime i get code error 1. I guess it was the twrp 3.3 version i used cause some roms requer the latest TWRP versions. The lineage is installing just right nd can reboot to system with no hiccups.
None of Android 12 gsi versions has ever been able to installed. Cause when i try to install, i get the error of "file too large for the target partition. Tried everything from the net to increase the system partition to at-least 3gig. No success.....
Is anyone who can help to install android 12 even beta version will be ok for my N20 Doogee??
Thanx

The file is in the forum. But to make your life easier here are the link.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18B-srDVia_H4aDt7uvCDUxg2e4R5kVVY?usp=sharing The file is of type .exe and that extracts when you run on the pc, the problem is that I was suspicious about the virus so I threw the file in the total virus (if you don't know what it is, just search) and 6 programs pointed it out as malware but many others didn't find anything including karpersky and bit defender, there to make sure the files were there i renown they from .exe to .zip and I looked and the files really were there but as I don't want to take the risk I didn't extract and I didn't even try anything. The file that fix the encryption are inside doogee n20.exe, the guy said it will be in .exe and when you run it extracts the file in the C folder of the computer I recommend you to rename it from .exe to .zip because if the file have a virus you can screw your pc when running
