Applying Firmware L09C02B128

Bash25 · Apr 5, 2006 53 3 28

Hi Guys,

I need a bit of help with my Huawei P9 Plus, which I purchased here in UK Vodafone.

The original firmware on the phone was VIE-L09C02B127.

However I had applied VIE-C900B103 - from one of the guides in this forum and I forgot to backup my oeminfo and custom files, does this mean that they are the still the original files for VIE-L09C02B127 ?

Also can someone help in getting my phone back to VIE-L09C02B128 please. I have got the firmware L09C02B128 from a German site, can someone here able to check it and confirm if it this the same as the UK one ?

I can upload the firmware if someone can tell me how to ?

Thanks in advanced,
Bashy

I would appreciate it if you could upload it thanks (been waiting for B128 in SA and it just doesnt arrive due to our useless carriers), think you can put it in Google drive, Dropbox, Mega etc and then just share the link, thats probably the easiest.

In terms of flashing you need to unroot (via SuperSU) then install stock recovery (if you have twrp installed), then see http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-...ei-p9-plus-vie-l09-update-app-t3384951/page11 for installing.

Applying firmware L09C09B128

Hi Jostian,

Here is the link https://mega.nz/#!8UsBhQAL!QT67L7uCsjbj0vNXT0vSLbksZRx9znv8aVlje2IvT_o

Also in regard to applying this firmware onto my phone I am not rooted nor I have trwp installed.

So do I just copy the .app file onto my memory card and put it in the dload folder ?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Jonathan,

Let me know how it goes?

Also I would have custom.bin and oeminfo files changed from L09C09B127 when I flashed the full update too L09C900Bxx ?

If so can you provide me you files please.

Hi Jostian,

I am not root and nor I have twrp installed. However I did the below and my firmware is still showing VIE-L09C900B103;

1) Copied the update file on to my memory card and put in in the dload folder.
2) Restarted the phone, whilst holding down the volume up and down.
3) The phone installed the file from the memory card.

Can you please confirmed how you did it mate step by step.

Thanks,
Bashy

Hi Bashy, cos you are unrooted your phone will only show new 128 if you install full 128 ROM, dont think you can install update (b128) over b103 and get update to B128 in build number.

Did you try the *#*#2846579#*#* this opens menu options- press "SDCard Upgrade" then "Ok" method (give it a try), I unzipped yr file (6 or 7 files inside) copied these all to the 'dload' folder I created on the ext SD Card, then used the *#*# ..... method to update, the update like yours was successful (completed and I see a bunch of new apps etc.) but I still see B127 in settings/about phone/build number... so not sure why build no. remains B127???

I think the best would be to somehow find the full B128 ROM and flash it or for the B128 update to be put into a flashable (twrp) zip, but because the P9Plus is so new these options not available yet, they will come but it will take a bit of time.

Hi Guys,

the ota update failed on my phone. SO it didn't install any apps just changed the version info so basically It says b128 and cant find any new updates..

I downloaded the b128 voda update from a german site.

How do I install it?
putting the ZIP file into the DL folder and copy the updater.app from it to the DL folder
or
Do I need to extract the contents of the ZIP as well?

Thank you!
Best,

you need to extract the files from the zip, should be 2 files (Update.app and Meta-info) you put those 2 in the dload folder and then use the *#*#.... (project menu to install), remember you must be on stock recovery and phone must not be rooted.

Hi Jostian,

HI Bash25,

Did you just "flash" the c432b161? or unlocked the bootloader, installed custom recovery, rooted, changed oem info etc..???

(I dont have much experience with huawei phones...)

Thanks,

Jostian · Jul 22, 2016 at 10:33 AM

Think you need to do it the long way, don't think the flash will succeed if you just try flash over different variant code

Hi mate,

So for the delay in responding back.

My phone was did not have the bootloader unlocked and nor it was rooted.

However I did try to root it to change the 2 files over. But I can't confirm 100% worked.

Only way I would know this these 2 files were correctly updated is to check. I am not sure how too, but if someone can show then this would be great.

Which fw are you on now? Do you need help with something? Since then I figured it out (with some help) how to fix all of the out standing issues..

Thanks. I need written instructions on how to change the ro.xxx file in the video is it not very clear.

Currently I am on L09C432B161.

Also how can a verify if my oeminfo and custom files are correctly showing the correct version?
