I have put down the simplest (can you say simplest?) instructions for installing Android 2.3.1 Gingerbread on the Xperia X10.
Some may say that dummies should not use Alpha ROMs, however, in this particular case I would disagree. I have been testing this ROM for 3-4 days now and I find that it is ready for daily use if you can give up features such as camera, GPS, and some other stuff.
This ROM is made by Jerpelea, all creds to him. Donate and buy him a beer (or orange juice depending on what he prefers).
Use these instruction with precaution. With this said, if any problems occur and your phone is in any kind of way damaged, I will not be held responsible.
For more info and updates on ROM read the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911364
According to Jerpelea, you shall install it in this order.
MULTITOUCH INSTALLATION ON (ANY?) 2.x ROM
1. Download MT ENABLER by Bin4ry.
2. Create a folder called "MT Enabler" and move the file that you just downloaded (MT_enabler.rar) into it.
3. Extract the file (MT_enabler.rar) with Winrar or Winzip.
4. Now you will have 2 important files and they're both called "X10flash". One installs the Multitouch via cmd and the other one via X10Flashtool. Double click ONE of them If you choose the one that installs via flashtool you will have to press the button "Flash" that is shown in the program
5. Follow the instructions given and if you are asked to "connect Xperia in flash mode" do so by:
5.1 Turn X10 off
5.2 Disconnect from computer
5.3 Hold down BACK button WHILE inserting the USB cable (be sure that the other end is connected to your computer)
5.4 When the LED LIGHT TURNS GREEN, your X10 is in "flash mode"
6. When it is done remove the USB cable and reboot your X10.
7. Enable Unknown Sources (1) and USB debugging (2)
(1) MENU button -> Preferences -> Applications
(2) MENU button -> Preferences -> Applications -> Development
8. Houston, we have multitouch!
OBSERVE! If you do not have multitouch in your browser or in Google Maps please follow THIS simple guide to enable it! However, I believe you will have it enabled in every app
ROM INSTALLATION
1. If you haven't put in xRecovery in your X10 do so by following the instructions listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571&highlight=xrecovery
(read the requirements as well)
2. Download the ROM from here: http://hotfile.com/dl/99887488/c3452ec/gb_beta_0008.rar.html
3. Extract the file (with winrar or winzip) and you will have a folder called "gb_alpha_0008".
4. Inside this folder you will have three folders, of which two are .Zip files. Copy the one called "gapps-hdpi-20101226" and "signed_008" to your phone. Don't copy them to a specific folder, just to the main folder also called the root folder of your SD card. (Of course, to do this you will have to connect your X10 to your computer and mount the SD card).
3. Now unmount your SD card, reboot your phone and enter xRecovery by pressing the BACK button repeatedly when the white "Sony Ericsson" text comes up during the boot up.
4. Inside xRecovery you can navigate up and down by pressing the VOLUME buttons, choosing an option by pressing the HOME button and going back by pressing the BACK button. Now choose...
4.1 "Install custom zip"
4.2 "Choose custom zip from sdcard"
4.3 Find and choose "signed_008.zip"
4.4 Let it work...
4.5 "Choose custom zip from sdcard"
4.6 Find and choose "gapps-hdpi-20101226"
4.7 Let it work...
4.8 Go back and choose "Reboot phone".
Now you have the ROM installed..
However, we're not done here...
Your phone will freeze on the "Sony Ericsson" text thingy.. Now do this:
1. Connect your X10 to your computer
2. Download the Android SDK from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
3. Put the SDK folder that you just downloaded in C:\
4. Open cmd.exe (search for it in your PC) and write the following text without citation marks "" or brackets () :
"cd C:\(the name of the SDK folder that you downloaded)\android\tools" and press ENTER
5. Now write the following, without citation marks "", and press ENTER between each one:
"adb shell"
"busybox killall5"
6. Wait approximately 10 seconds, take out the battery from your X10, put it back in, start your phone..
BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLATION OF NEW ROM VERSION
If you are about to install a new version of this ROM, I am glad to present you a little backup tips from cobrato
If you have installed a previous GB release, do a backup under xRecovery. For subsequent release, after step 4.7: You can do the following:
Backup & Restore --> Advance Restore --> Select your backup --> Restore Data --> Reboot --> Voila
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
INSTALL THE APPS IN THE "APPS" FOLDER AUTOMATICALLY (BATCH)
COMING SOON!
THERE YOU GO! IDIOT PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!
nice one....=)
We should login to the market once BEFORE installing the googole apps ZIP, right? Or is that requred BEFORE installing any hotfixes?
gread guide, posted link on my site if you dont mind http://bitsnacker.com/index.php/201...talling-2-3-1-android-gingerbread-on-your-x10
@javagreen It was not necessary for me, the beauty of it is that you can do it the way you mentioned if your market does not work
@go3asy great idea!
Cheers!
Sent from my X10 with 2.3.1
thanks for this!

Fantastic tutorial but could you include either a link or a few lines explaining the installation of Multitouch to the rom. Also can we batch install the remaining apps folder?
ok thank you
Guys please i need an advice .... do i wait until this release become stable or jump into Z's 2.2 freeX10 .. is it going to take to long to fix it ? . why they work on HTC and 2.2 if they have 2.3.1 alpha ? i'm confused i don't want to keep losing my apps and settings . i mean i don't wanna keep switching between roms too much. BTW thanks for the Awesome tutorial and i would thank J for spending his time trying to apply 2.3.1 for us
Just to add: If you have installed a previous GB release, do a backup under xRecovery. For subsequent release, after step 4.7: You can do the following:

A working Clockworkmod Recovery
STEPS:
1.1. Connect your phone to the computer

1.3. Go to your favorite rom and download both rom and gapps zips (you can find roms from Google Search or other xda threads and posts, gapps are also available at goo.im/gapps)
1.4. Transfer both files to your phone's sdcard
(If successful);

I know that the reason for this guide is to be the simplest as possible, but I wouldn't recommend using ROM Manager to install the Custom Recovery, as it have already given me bootloops (it is a common error with using ROM Manager to install a Custom Recovery). I would recommend using Flash Installer GUI and Amonra recovery.img, which is a lot safer.
Do you format /system for custom ROM?
Is it required to format /system ?
If it is required then it should be between 6.3 and 6.4 .
Correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT:
I was wrong. flashed jelly bean on O1 and all going well !

I use ROM Manager to flash CWM Recovery.
This is just the preferred method as CWM is widely used (as I can see, correct me if I'm wrong).
You method works too (I saw it used on youtube before), uses Amon ra recovery instead. It both works, as they are both recoveries that allow flashing.
Thanks for your suggestion!
Thank you so muuuuch xD
Hi,
I bought this phone from China and I wanted to convert it to an international regular android phone.
This sounds easy, the theory is that, root the phone to get rid of Chinese apps then install Google Play... that would be sufficient for me.
The problem is that in practice that proved to be more complicated especially if one have not done this before.
The Phone
ZTE V5S / Grand Memo 5S
Hardware Platform: MT6589
Cores: Quad Core
CPU: 1.5G Hz
GPU: PowerVR SGX544MP
RAM: 1GB
ROM: 8GB
Display Size: 5.7 inch HD
Screen Resolution: 720×1280
Screen Type: IPS-LCD, Multi-Touch Capcitive Screen
Display Colour: 16 Million Colors
Operating System: Android 4.2
I have read forums in the last couple of days and managed to:
- root the device
- remove china stuff
- installed Google Play
The store is working but the Google apps such as YouTube are giving this error:
"Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
I understand (from googling) that I have to instal a new ROM which is modified to support this.
I have downloaded couple of ROMs from Chinese sites but following their instructions, I could not install the ZIP files.
Not speaking Chinese, used web translation.
Ideally, I am looking to install a multilingual ROM for my device.
Later edit: I have installed the google play posted here and now youtube works but play is crashing if i try to install anything.
Any help highly appreciated.
Thank you.
[Resolved] Flashing ZTE Grand Memo 5S (aka ZTE Memo V5S)
Managed to resolve my problem... here is the step by step guide.
As usual, I'm not responsible if you brick your pone, is your decision to follow the below steps.
Some advices:
- Use a good quality USB cable which plugs firmly in the phone and PC
- Make sure that eventual power outage does not power off pc (ie use laptop)
- Do not unplug cable (accidentally) from PC/Phone while program running and last message is not: --- task is complete ---
- Try not using PC for other (resource consuming) activities.
- Be patient... some processes take quite long time
- Upload ROM which is designed for Your device!
- If you want to download ROM using SP Flash Tool, you need to dismount the phone as battery is not removable. Make an NANDROID
backup as this will backup absolutely everything... including user data.
1. Download MTK Droid Tools (because this is a MediaTek device)
2. Download SP Flash Tool (not used... just to have it in case you need to flash back a backup)
3. DOwnload a ROM (ZTE_V5S_WCDMA_Google_ROOT_140522.zip)
4. DOwnload a Patch for splash screen in Zip format (optional).
5. Copy to sd card:
- The downloaded ROM, rename to "update.zip". This is important otherwise will might give an error when flasing.
- The splash screen patch if you have it.
- Insert sd card in the phone.
6. Open MTKdroidTools.exe
- in few minutes your phone details should show up on Phone information tab.
7. Connect Phone via USB to PC
8. In USB computer options choose to connect with option "Connect to PC software", this will turn on USB debug
9. Root the phone, follow these steps:
- MTK Droid tools, after phone is read, press Root
- When prompted to create backup of ROM, press Yes (For the subsequent restoration of bla, bla... To make it now?)
- When prompted pack the backed up ROM, press Yes
- When Prompted choose between SuperSU or Superuser, choose SuperSU. SuperSU is still supported by develper, this is why.
- Click on IMEI/NVRAM and press backup... you may need that as well if something goes wrong.
Now you have you phone rooted and the original ROM zipped in the backup folder under MTK Droid Tools folder.
- Reboot the phone. You might have to root again but no need to save anything.
10. MTK Droid tools, after phone is read, go to the other tab: root, backup, recovery
11. If you wish, you can make another backup of your ROM with ROOT privileges this time... Press Backup and wait to complete.
12. Press button "To prepare blocks for Flashtool", select .md5 file from the last backup folder you made.
- Now you have the copy of the original software
13. Position radio buttton on the option: "To use boot from phone"
14. Press button "Recovery and Boot"
- When prompted "To make CWM recovery automatically?", press Yes
- When prompted to upload ony if phone is loaded, press Yes
- When prompted to "Install created recovery to phone?", press Yes
- when prompted "To reload phone in recovery to phone?", press Yes
15. You are now in recovery mode, to navigate up-down use Volume button, to choose/execute an item use power button.
16. Navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" then execute, on the next screen navigate to "Yes - ..." then choose it
17. Navigate to "whipe cache partition" then execute, on the next screen navigate to "Yes - ..." then choose it
18. Navigate to "install zip from sdcard" then execute, on the next screen navigate to "choose zip from sdcard"
19. Now you see content of SD Card, navigate to ROM file (update.zip) then execute, on the next screen navigate to "Yes - ..."
then choose it
20. Once finished GO back then reboot the phone
21. It will take a bit longer to load first time
22. To install the splash screen go to recovery mode again, choose to update from SD then confirm... same steps as for the ROM.
23. Open google play, login, a number of updates will show up, update all Google Play components
To get into recovery mode you have few options, i'll give one:
a. Turn off phone
b. Press and keep pressed Volume Up
c. Press and keep pressed Power button
d. Keep both pressed until splash screen shows up then release both
Now you may want to get rid of chinese stuff. To do so, folow these steps:
1. Power your phone
2. Open MTKdroidTools.exe
3. Connect Phone via USB to PC
4. In USB computer options choose to connect with option "Connect to PC software", this will turn on USB debug
5. After phone is loaded press Root (just to get privileges)
6. When prompted "Receive root privileges bla, bla...", choose yes
7. Press Super User... choose to user SuperSU
8. Press Build.Prop
9. Press Delete china... this will remove the only keyboard as well which is chinese so skip this step.
10. Press reboot
11. Now most of the chinese stuff is gone
12. Download and install:
- More locale or locale 2 if you want interface in a certain language
- Swiftkey to get a decent keyboard (disable chinese one)
- 3D Digital weather
- Anything else yo may want.
13. Use system optimiser to uninstall the rest of the Chinese apps
You are done... I have done this walkghrough while I was mooding my phone. Dont ask questions on errors as I have no idea. These
steps where collected while various forums for ready 3 days.
Hope someone will find useful... good luck.

Try downloading latest MTK droid tool and see if it detects your phone. If it detects, then you could just root by clicking root button. If you do not know how to use MTK droid tool, just search for the instruction on XDA. Pretty easy.

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):
update.zip: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1891/g1755/v139083/f1/full/update.zip
update_full_VIE-AL10_all_cn.zip: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1891/g1755/v139083/f1/full/VIE-AL10_all_cn/update_full_VIE-AL10_all_cn.zip

B) VIE-AL10C00B537 (8.0.0.537) OREO
update.zip:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3133/g1699/v200303/f1/full/update.zip
update_full_VIE-AL10_all_cn.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
update_data_full_public.zip:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3133/g1699/v200303/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
→ 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)
20) Downloads:
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
