  2. It doesn’t work for my huawei mate 9 from Hong Kong.
    I think SRT huawei tool can be the only solution.

  3. Go to Huawei’s official download section and download correct rom for your device and region and flash manually.

  4. Hi I soft bricked while trying to root, and the device just goes to the TWRP custom recovery screen.
    My model is MHA L29 – but do not know the exact build number (L29xxxx part).
    I’ve tried .APP from above files – it complains of a version mismatch.

    Any ideas?
