Guys, I just bricked my Huawei P9 Lite LNS - V21. Because I tried to install a custom rom but failed horrendously. My phone was on Android 7.0 Nougat, I succesfully unlocked it's bootloader, rooted it and installed a recovery using the Revolution Recovery. What caused the brick was when I tried to install the Resurrection Remix on this phone with Android 6.0. I already downloaded the stock rom but I don't know what to do, I can't move the update.zip to the internal storage of my phone, and I couldn't connect it to my pc because I remembered that I disabled USB Debugging mode on my phone because it was kind of a nuisance while copying files to the pc and vise versa. Please, I really need help. Thanks if you would help

Move the Android 6 update.app file to the dload folder on your SD card. Then press volume up+volume down+power to flash the stock rom, recovery and to relock the bootloader. After that unlock your bootloader and install TWRP and follow the instructions to flash RR

So, I just need to put the update.zip in the dload folder in my external sdcard? Because I can't access the internal storage

no, you need the update.app file extracted from the update.zip.
Hello guys,
I have a P10 lite Vodafone branded with the serial number:WAS-LX1C02B120
I have tried unbranding the phone several times but without success.
I want to thank in advance the people who are willing to help me in this process.

Andrei:good:
Here you can find my explanation on how I did it on my was-lx1ac02b120.
I chose the build B182 so now my telephone is dual-sim too.
Hope it works for you too.
i'ts more easy my guide:
after flashed twrp(previoys backup before do something):
1º insert sdcard, make a backup only to oeminfo(copy to safe place)
1.1 extract c432 copy to backed up folder and restore oeminfo
2º create a dload folder on sdcard
2.1 open b182 or b183 two times and you see update.app and folders, copy all to dload folder in your sdcard
3º power off your mobile and unplg from the pc
3.1 press vol +/- and power buttons till update starts, wait to finish.

You managed to umbrand?
I was on Vodafone WAS-LX1C02B132 with single sim, and now I am on dual sim WAS-LX1C432B182.
It's pretty easy if you have the right information.

Hi, since i'm not confident with adb/fastboot commands, i'm asking help for restoring the original firmware and recovery in my MLA-L11.
I've downloaded the two files from Firmware Finder (i'm sure 100% they are the right one) but i don't know how to proceed. Anyone can help there? Thank you

Hey!
You have to go back to EMUI 4.1 by restoring a TWRP backup and then you will update to EMUI 5. Ive used the following process on my CAN-L11 and worked fine. It should work on all models. @virusdunil has followed the same process on his MLA-L03 and everything went fine.
Let me know if you experience some trouble during this process.
Go back to EMUI 4.1 (MM)
1) Download this TWRP backup of MM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73003510&postcount=60.
2) You can put the backup to internal memory or sdcard, After you've chose where you wanna put it, take a backup of boot.img with TWRP to internal/sdcard (where you wanna put the backup), so you'll get a folder with this structure: TWRP > BACKUPS > FPFDU16A20001907 (you'll have different number I guess). Then you'll put the twrp backup folder (which you have downloaded) in that folder with numbers
3) Boot in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache from twrp > wipe > advanced and then you restore the backup from TWRP > restore (restore only system + data + boot). Then you reboot and you're good to go.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now update to EMUI 5 (N)
After youve downloaded the stock firmware using Firmware Finder, you should have two files:
- update.zip
- update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip (example)
Backup your internal memory as it will be wiped at step 8).
1) Extract update.zip. Then you get UPDATE.APP.
2) Download Huawei Update Extractor.
3) Open Huawei Update Extractor, choose UPDATE.APP from the folder where youve extracted it. Right click RECOVERY.img and extract it.
4) Now boot your phone in fastboot mode by pressing and holding the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
5) Type in terminal / command prompt on PC to flash the stock recovery which youve extracted at step 3):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
6) Reboot.
7) Put update.APP in a folder called dload on your sdcard.
8) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade. Now EMUI 5 will be installed, bootloader gets relocked and internal memory gets wiped. Now wait about 5 mins (maximum 10 mins). If the phone isnt booting within that time, then boot the phone in stock recovery by pressing and holding power and volume up buttons and choose "Wipe data / factory reset" and then "Wipe cache partition". After you reboot, the phone should boot. Skip the setup wizard.
9) Remove update.APP from dload folder from your sdcard and extract the other zip (example update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip) and put all the files/folders extracted in dload folder.
10) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade.
11) You are done.

Hi robert, i succesfully downgraded to MM and restored (i guess) stock recovery. But when I try to upgrade to nougat via sdcard upgrade the phone can't find the update.zip file.
Maybe the problem is my phone believe he is a CAN instead of a MLA, and don't recognize a MLA update.zip file?
If that is the case, you need to use the firmware extractor and "fastboot flash system system.img" to get your build.prop back. That would get your device to recognize as what it is.

Hey!
I've got your PM, but I see that meanwhile you've posted here and you made a new thread too... You don't have to make so many posts, a post or a thread is enough to get the attention of someone.
In your case, the phone model is MLA-L11 and C185/C432 is the build number as far as I remember. You can check the build number in Settings > About phone. I don't know if there's any other way to check, if you're on other build number now and you don't know which one was yours.

Hi
I've managed to backup EMUI 4.1, however I'm getting error message "software install failed" trying to update EMUI to 5.0 (pops up, every time when it reach 5% progress).
Any idea how to fix it?

Steps #9 and #10 do not work for me ("Software install failed"). But I wonder if they are necessary after all, because Product Id, IMEI, Build-number (and of course EMUI-Version and Android-Version) are stock again.
And isn't "update_full_CAN-L01_hw_eu.zip" supposed to be included in the "update.zip"-file? I thougt "update.zip" allready delivers every part of the ROM.

Hello man,
did you removed prevoius update.app from SD card, the one from rollback??
Maybe you forgot to do this...
If you sure you done all things right then take a look at the UNIFIED HELP THREAD...
At 6th post you'll find a L31 rollback package that will give you C900B300 global firmware.
From this flash C636B170 full ota and see if worked this time....

Hello dude,
in the guide i never readed to use the toolkit, that's another way i think...
Flashing the rollback package will bring you c900b300 firmware wich means global intermediate transitive firmware...
Create a dload folder in SD card, extract update.app from rollback package and put in it.
Turn off you phone. Now disconnect from PC, and let it start keeping vol+ vol- and power buttons.
When it ends turn it off and remove the SD card and the update.app from dload folder.
Download and extract update.app from L31C636B170 full update.
If you missed it...
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66846/f1/full/update.zip
Put this in dload folder in SD card again and put in your phone...
Repeat vol+ vol- power buttons and it will flash...
Recommended: when finished reboot to e_recovery (vol+ power buttons) and factory reset.
If all gone well you will stay now on marshmallow firmware..
Wish you the best my friend...:fingers-crossed:
Edit: flash the rollpack package suggested in prevoius post.
