Download Israel firmware with XperiFirm and then flash your phone with FlashTool.
Look for tutorials if you don't know how to use XperiFirm or FlashTool.

Israel firmware is 1290-1756, check it on About Phone -> Diagnostics -> Data - Software (two four-digit numbers with a - between them).

Back from C900 to C150. How?

Hello,
I try to upgrade from c150b123 to c150b160 but obviously I failed. I flash C150, so I dont know where was the problem...
I read that is void my warranty. Is that a true?
What can I do to resolve this problem?
Sorry for my English!
I think you can use Huawei RollBack package using 3 buttons method and then flash c150b160 using the same method.
The rollback package and firmware image can be found on huawei site. Use google.

There is just Asia version of Rollback. I need to flash that?
As far as i know the region of the rollback package doesn't matter. I'm on c432 and used this
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93800&siteCode=pl
Be careful with the firmware image to be the right one (c150)

Thanks for helping! I didn't mention that I have L31 version. Or I can flash that for L21?
No, don't flash l21. The model matters. Download from huawei website rollback pckage for l31. The model does matter.
Forgot to ask you. You're on stock recovery ?

Yes, everything is stock. And b160 is Marshmallow, not Nougat.
b12x has many bugs and I just want to fix them , because my carrier didn't release update from september...
Oh yes sorry my bad. Then you don't need the rollback package. In this case the best option is to use firmware finder to update a full ota via system update.

I use firmware finder and got this problem although I check hundred times to use correct upgrade zip. I am scared to repeat update procedure because I don't want to brick my phone... :/
I guess I will have to take a risk.
You have to get the full ota update (with mf and pv in update name).

Older FTF versions

Hello,
Anyone know where I can get non-current official firmware to use with flashtool?
I want to be able to downgrade from 7.1.1 if I don't like it...
Looking for 7.0 and also Marshmallow.
Thanks.

Xperifirm holds older FW or look on Xperiablog.
Thanks. I was looking for a specific region (IL). So if it's not at xperifirm it's gone?

How can I fix NRD90M after device update with P10 Plus C185 version? Please Help.

I accidentallay installed VKY-L09C432B152 rom to my Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L29C185124 version device.
Now the device name changed to D189 and model number is now D189-L29 (compile number is NRD90M test keys)
I want to change version to VKY-L29C636B151. I think this is the right version for my device.
My only goal is change region from middle east to Europe. No root or something else. Just have the europe version.
But, i installed wrong version. Bootloader is unlocked now and when i try to install VKY-L29C636B151 version from hwota folder, it stopped when comes to %5 percent of install.
How can i fix this?
download the correct region firmware update and use HWOTA flash method to reinstall proper version.
Use rebrand not update with HWOTA tool and flash the same firmware twice.
i have the same issue, what if i found the problem via HWOTA method in update.bat?

what exactly does hwota say? saying "about 5%" doesn't mean anything, and no one can help you from there.

VNS-L31C432B130 Firmware Android 7

Hi,
I have a rooted P9 Lite(2016) with Dual SIM and want to Update to Android 7.
But I can't update OTA because it's a rooted device.
My model: VNS-L31C432B130
I think i have 2 options: First is to unroot and update it OTA and than again root, because it's very important to root for me.
Second option is to download and install it manually.
But i don't know which firmware i have to choose. Only thing i know is that my device is VNS-L31 version.
There is so many firmware on the internet. Can i choose all firmware that begins with VNS-L31 or is there something to consider?
For example this version: VNS-L31C636B361
Which way is easier and which firmware should i choose?
thanks

The right firmware for your phone is L-31C432B370
L-31 is the phone model, if you flash firmwares with wrong phone model your phone will certainly soft brick or brick.
C432 is the region, for example c636 is Oriental/Chinese region, c185 is American or other (I don't remember), c432 is European. If you flash firmwares with wrong region, the phone will probably go into c900, the global region, And it would be difficult to restore to the factory firmware.
B*** is the actual firmware version. From 300 is android nougat, and the versions that end with 0 ("b370") are for dual SIM, those that end with 1 ("b371") are for single SIM.

l-31c432b370 how to install
Hi,
I have bricked my device today with this update https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545586862
I install it via twrp and than had the issue with voice command instead keyboard during setup. Fortunately I am now again back to Android 6.
Could anyone please tell me which one I have to choose and by which method I have to install it. I mean, should I install it with stock recovery or with tmrp.
My device is now unlocked and it's rooted with twrp.
Is that the right data: http://www.stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-b388-b389-nougat-update/
There are 3 files. One update.app and than Update data and update file. Should i install all 3 files or which one I have to choose?
Ps: Normally my system was Vns-l31c432b130 and now I have Vns-l31c432b161. But the phone is dual sim though.
Many thanks
Solved to rollback and update the usual way
Hello,
if anyone else has the same issue, this is the way to solve it.
First install the right rollback package and the stock Rom.
Here is a tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...torial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955
After I was again on stock, I updated first to b370 and than again updating to b380 by Huawei system update app.
Again unlock and install twrp and su if you wish to.
Many thanks
