Debranded my phone, now while turning it on displays a message in red...

Hello, I debranded my phone, so I'm running L21C432B130 at the moment, but when turning it on it displays the you're unlocked and can't be trusted message in Red, before it was in orange, it doesn't bother me, but once I found out I can't update to B160 via OTA, I freaked lol... Is there a way to get that OTA to work, or something?

Could you please explain, how you debranded the phone?

Hi,
i have the same issue since 2 Weeks. Thats not the only thing, i got the massage : "Verfication failed, cant be trusted"
Phone: L31 C436 B336 SingleSim -> Debranded from T-Mobile with EUROPE TOOL from "Sebastian"
I think its a problem with the OEM Info
I Tried:
1. Flash Stock with TWRP, ERecovery -> Failed, adb and dload methode -> MM 6.0
2. Flash on b336 with TWRP, E-Recovery -> Failed, adb and dload
Normal Recovery and Erecovery didn't worked on b336, b130 only message i get is: Failed with a !
Didn't tryed to flash the OEM because in the Forums some guys says the OEM's are Specific some guys says its not Specific didn't know which i trust.
Debrand method:
get the EUROPE Tool and flashed the Singlesim OEM L31 then flashed stock b130. Since i did that i get the issues. (bootloader was unlocked)
My Phone is atm at b336 with TWRP from Nougat not rooted and bootloader unlocked

I debranded my phone using the huawei tool, can't remember the name but it wasn't the green one that opens in cmd, it literally a program

I think it's a normal message since you modified the system. Try updating to a stock firmware so that you relock the bootloader, you should be able to get rid of that message

After downgrade to mm that message gone but in fastboot say my bootloader is unlock..so that mean that message no make diference in bootloader status right??

Someone???

I can't upgrade via OTA, it won't let me... I'm thinking maybe installing meticulus TWRP and doing a system dump may help, I wipe the whole system and just restore the dump?

Anyone have an idea?

P9 Lite bricked

Device: VNS-L21 Europe Hello, before brick I was on new emui 5.0 firmware and I installed nougat twrp recovery by user @BadWolfYe and then I flashed this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/unofficial-huawei-p9-lite-t3540493 (I was following all instructions) After reboot It was stuck on Phone is booting... And I tried downgrade guide from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932 I flashed oeminfo zip and dloaded update.app but unfornately zip where I get update.app was corrupted..... Now I have only Huawei eRecovery, dload and fastboot but It doesn't allow installing twrp!!! When I dload UPDATE.APP It says Software install failed. Failed to check the update package. Please download the package again. Please help me!!!!!!
EDIT: I found solution to enter in real recovery(TWRP for nougat)
What I did was:
1. Enter in fastboot
2. connect phone to computer
3. open cmd and type: fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock xxxxxxxx (replace xxx with your code)
4. accept fastboot unlock
5. And then it magicaly booted into twrp (my phone's fastboot was unlocked before)
Now I am going to flash back emui 5.0
And then downgrade to emui 4.1
And then I will try to install this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/unofficial-huawei-p9-lite-t3540493
Later I will update this post and I will write does it suceed or fail.
Edit 2:

TWRP B370 uninstalling dir B380 OTA

Hi,
Got Bad Version of b370 by ota. So I just flashed TWRP nougat. after that I flashed the update_data_full_VNS-L21_hw_eu.zip from here:
update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip
as explained in point 3 of second step:
[GUIDE][NOUGAT]INSTALL V4A/MAGISK/ROOT/TWRP/D2W/... for p9 lite
Now b370 is installed but with twrp. Now Update b380 over ota is available. I want to get Back Stock Recovery. Has anyone a Link for me to flash b370 only Recovery? Or is full b370 flash necessary? I prefer only Recovery doing b380 Update via ota later.
Thanks

Use Huawei Update Extractor to extract recovery.img from update.app, then flash it and you can safely update to B380.

Where can I get update.app ? B370 was OTA. And a small update.app for repair...
Have you got a Link for b370 ? Only flashing Recovery or boot too?
Thanks

Can I take VNS-L21C4321B370 from here:
FULL B370 Version
Do I have only to flash recovery.img or boot.img too ? I don't want to change oeminfo because I have dual sim and I want to keep that.
please reply.
thanks,
Klaus

FASTBOOT shows: PHONE Unlocked, FRP LOCK.. Bootloader can't unlocked, because it tells bootloader already unlocked.

Heyho,
1st u should read this, because this is the P9 Lite Dev Section... U should ask the next time those questions in the P9 Lite Question & Answer Section...
--
U should try to unlock the "FRP-Lock" because if it's not unlocked u may not be able flash anything via fastboot nor unlock the bootloader it self. After u have unlocked the "FRP-Lock" u should try to flash the recovery.img u have, if it's still not working, try to unlock the bootloader again and repeat the flash.

Sebastian

Well, under developer settings? OEM unlock?^^

If u don't know how to unlock the bootloader u should avoid those modifications... - because, here on XDA are billion guides which show u how are things done, but proofed through ur posts u haven't read only one of it.
Also, if u have a L21 why u flash a L31 cust IMG? Because some guy wrote a simple guide right?
Sarcasm off, based on this thread u should inform u about android before following such noob guide's...

Ok, then this might be ur last chance^^
1) boot into twrp
2) open a cmd prompt to the device
3) navigate to ur adb installation
4) type the following commands:
Code:
adb push "path/to/the/stock/recovey" "/tmp/recovery_stock.img"
adb shell "dd if=/tmp/recovery_stock.img of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery"
If u get an error that the recovery can't be written, well, then i don't know how to help u. Because if u can't flash the recovery this way, the loader will be really locked. The only solution then might be, call Huawei customer support and send the device to an service-center.

Sebastian

I know what it means to unlock bootloader as I mentioned OEM Lock ist Grey.... Also my above Link to b370 is an L21.

it sounds clearly that u flashed a L31 cust (data.zip) on ur L21 soo...
And about the "inform before do those things", i mean in the main case, if u really flashed a L31 cust on a L21 u should check those things before u flash those files. Because, if u really did that, u have now a locked device which look like this:
boot = L21
system = L21
recovery = TWRP
oeminfo = L21
cust = L31
now how the system merge the files (if i'm right):
boot - build.prop
system - build.prop (override the boot in some cases)
custom.bin (links to another build.prop) - (override the last values)
cust - build.prop (override the last values)
as u can see, u have now an mixed system of L21 and L31 settings... This maybe cause the problem with the update.app because the update.app have also some checks running before installing, and if it can't determine which system u now really have, it will do the wrong "patchings" etc...
-
So this should not be an personal attack
-
Hope u can solve the prop based on my last post, i linked at the beginning of this.

Sebastian

easiest way is to flash your oeminfo through twrp, install update.app of stock rom (i know stock mm is around here somewhere, don't know about nougat, just search around), and install the ota's, if they're available

Heyho,
as u quoted ur self and mentioned already by me, I don't have any links... I have read about that somewhere on the i-net... Just use Google... - Also, if u flashed really the recovery2.img, maybe u are not able to update from now on... because u flashed the erecovery instead of the recovery.
I never tried to flash the recovery2.img as normal recovery... So I can't help u anymore.

If you have TWRP is that you have installed it...
What ADB command used ?
Just "fastboot oem unlock OEM_CODE" ?
Or "fastboot flash XXX"
What your variant model? (VNS-XXX)
Please follow steps >> HERE

Hello I wanted to install Oreo on my PRA-LX1 following this guide

I was on official EMUI Nougat firware, I downloaded LX1C432B322 of 2018.04.13 what he said, installed nocheck recovery and then update_command. Reboot, title, nothing works except fastboot. I re-unlocked the phone with oem unlock and after reboot same.
I tried to flash twrp-3.2.1-v3.5-prague.img again to fix but length error with "fastboot flash recovery"
I tried to flash his OreoTWRP.img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk" and it pass, reboot but I can't boot to recovery.

I'm not responsible of bricks caused by people since most of them not follow the steps I wrote.

@haky 86 (I'm assuming you were the one who wrote that guide) is the guide for updating from nougat to oreo or updating an Oreo firmware to the latest?

This is I want to know. He don't said it but I tried to flash oreotwrp from nougat and it said partition error using recovery_ramdisk. And the nocheck didn't work, so I took another nocheck for this TWRP and put the update_package command and then this

I just update my guide, the sample I wrote it was emui 8.x because I'm already at oreo. but procedure is same the only thing change is recovery, on oreo called Recovery Ramdisk on nougat called just recovery, please check the updated article here the screenshot.

Download the nougat rom you were on before. Extract update.app to get the recovery. Flash it using fastboot. Then try dload method.
Or flash nougat twrp and try flashing the nougat rom via HuRUpdater
