P8 Lite ALE-L23 updating issues

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Huawei P8 Lite, it came with Lollipop 5.0.1. The thing is I would like to update to 5.1 at least. For all the reasons we all know about, this is kind of a must. However my operator hasn't send me the OTA package nor could I found one in any Huawei website. So I mailed them about this a few days ago, and got no answer yet.
So anyone here went through the same/has a stock 5.1 rom for this model? I have also read that some people swapped to ALE-21 for the updates and stuff, but I dont wanna mess with the baseband, since those post are not always properly detailed about this stuff.
Any comment, info, post, link, whatever on this topic will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

You can find more info here. if you don't want to upgrade to Ale-L21 just use this as a guide (Chapter 4) but with your own stock rom file that you download from the huawei website.

So i looked up the problem that you had with converting. and i put a comparison in the thread. thx for pointing out something we didn't mention before
you can find the comparison here http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=7978&id2=8162&id3=7966
the Ali-L21 supports more basebands the the ale l23 so that's all.

Seems like my only choice is to force an ale-21 single sim rom into my phone and try not to screw it in the process.. I dont understand why Huawei wont release a 5.1 update for .23 even if its the same as .21
Thank you a lot, I will follow the steps mentioned above and try some luck

Huawei Mate 9 PRO bricked - $50 reward

Hi guys
My LON-L29 Huawei Mate 9 PRO is bricked, kinda. I have twrp on it, but no OS. I can also enter fastboot mode.
I will give $50 to the person who can get the phone working again.
Please feel free to ask me ANYTHING you need to know.
Thank you in advance
/CK
To mod: I know this is the Huawei Mate 9 forum, but I'm desperate for some help here.

Here is the firmware. Flashing it in TWRP should be okay. http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1367/g104/v68545/f1/full/update.zip

I can help you. Tell me exactly what model you have. LON-L29C432? I need the model information beyond the C.

Thank you xda community for your suggestions!

Can you share his solution? And how did you install twrp on it? I know mate 9 is somehow supported unofficially but not on mate 9 pro.

I have M9P : LON-L26C636B139 and I've the same problem like Cafe King. I tried using enzo24754's suggestion, but not success. The screen shows " E: unknown command [errno] , update process ended with error : 7 "
May I ask for your suggestion, thank you very much.

Same issue here

i think your only hope is reddit.com/r/Funkyhuawei.

I would like to share my experience how I successfully unbricked my Mate 9 Pro (LON-L29C636).
- My M9P was bricked. I've (Raygrobe) TWRP on it, but no OS.
- I tried every methods to flash the firmware but no luck.
- I downloaded C636 offline firmware (MHA-L26C636B110 firmware from Huawei Mate 9 Guides Forum and flash it from SDCard using 3 buttons method by Dload folder with success. My M9P changed to M9 with MHA model. It worked quite well, not much difference from M9P.
- I tried to rebrand to M9P using firmware for LON-L29C636 neither Dload or Firmware Finder method but no luck. The Firmware Finder struck on "Send to updater" menu.
- Someday later, I tried using "System Update" in settings menu. This time it asked if I want to change the model. After I accepted, it started to flash. Finally my M9P get back from brick stage to LON-L29C636B156.
Edit : Actually, in this case you may bring your M9P to Huawei Customer Service Center and ask them to reset your M9P and install the new firmware with no cost.

HUAWEI Enjoy 7S (FIG-AL10) rebranding to HUAWEI P Smart (FIG-LX1): feasible? how?

I bought a Huawei Enjoy 7s (FIG-AL10) in China, but now I would like to rebrand it to a European version (FIG-LX1).
I read tons of posts suggesting to use TWRP, but there is no TWRP available for this phone.
I found a firmware for FIG-LX1 version on Firmware Finder, but now I do not know how to load it into the phone and rebrand it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I bought the huawei P smart which is the European version of Huawei Enjoy 7s. i think we should wait for a forum to be opened here for this device before we can do anything like unlocking bootloader or Rebranding and rooting.
just be patient bro.

I've just found a procedure to root Huawei P Smart, but XDA does not allow me to post the link.
Try to look in google: "Huawei P smart - Root - Anleitung".
It works perfectly. I tried it out on my Huawei Enjoy 7S.
Next thing would be to flash another firmware to change from Chinese to European version, but I'm still not sure how to do it.

I just tried, but system.img writing failed.
In the rescue.exe compressed folder it seems that there are two files: system.img and vendor.img.
Is vendor.img to be renamed to cust.img?

Sorry. I uploaded vendor instead of cust. Will replace the download by tomorrow.
Just translated the tuto:

I tried to flash from fastboot cust.img and system.img of P Smart on Enjoy 7S but writing failed.
Probably rebrand on this phone involves other partitions or files (oeminfo?) that I'm still not aware of.
I hope a procedure for rebrand will be released soon.

@steveleg
Looking over your post i would like to do the same thing.
Have you had any luck? I see there is a TWRP out and an update at the above link to android-hilfe forum. I did post a reply there but seem to have had my account locked for now :crying:, so though i might see how you did while i wait for help.

What is the name of your account? (Savvoh)? I'm moderator there.

Thanks so much, really appreciate the help. I will do so in the future.
Just to confirm what would be the reason to flash and install a TWRP? For dev reasons only?
Or just to remove all the preset Chinese settings?

@ChinHon
Interesting i can install all the services from Google-Installer-v3 onto a Enjoy 7S, but can not open the Play Store or Drive as it just hangs on the loading screen. And never actually goes in.
Haha, im stumped .

Find the current Playstore Apk from the net and install it.
TWRP is necessary for Magisk rooting or to create backups or flash zip`s.
I can't help much with dabranding. I don't know very much about that.

I tried in several ways to install C432 firmware on my Enjoy 7S, but no way to flash System.img.
As soon as I flash C432 oeminfo file FRP gets locked and I cannot flash anything anymore.
I tried also Dc Unlocker tools, but System.img flashing stops with the message "Sparse flash write failure".
I'm still looking for somebody who managed to rebrand the Enjoy 7S to P Smart.

I wish i could help,I cant currently even get any Google option on the Enjoy 7S to run. Even trying to add a google account to cloud just freezes. Seems as soon as any Google option is chosen, the Google Services just states "Restarting".
Out of options.

Google services installation was an easy task compared to rebrand.
Download GMS from the link below:
https://mega.nz/#!WqYwyLyD!l7H8WRHBHs0ZwpyE0w2c7n6AvTSpTF29KjjX7_MM2u8
Procedure:
1. Install GMS (it is going to clear all previous google apps and restart the phone)
2. Install google play that I included in the zip file.
Let me know. For me it worked like a charm.

Hello dude,
it's due to your region (VNS-LxxC16xxx)
maybe you will never receive the upgrade to nougat (android 7.0/EMUI 5)...
De/rebranding for example to C432/Nordic-European region or other,,,
with the Sebastian's toolkit could surely help you...
Here the link to the thread..
Ask the DEV or other users to be suggested for the suitable/best for you...

Hello,
same as previous post i wrote dude...
I made a little search and it seems your CUST/REGION (C16) is due you live in South Africa.
That's all right but maybe you will never receive any official upgrade to nougat (android 7.x/emui 5.x).
So you need to change your cust, also called "rebrand".
You can do with @k1ll3r8e toolkit, the link is in the above post.
All info is explained as well, make sure you read a couple of time and make a backup of all your files before proceed..
Donot forget to leave your thanks to the developer, he did it for all of us users..
All the best.

@ljay1135
Hey mate use the forum to exchange all infos and files you want !!!
You are starting from zero and have a lot of things to do, try to follow and do one thing at a time....
First unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery... TWRP suggested...
So download toolkit and simply follow what explained as well.
With the toolkit you can do everything you need to rebrand....
You need some kind of files you will flash with TWRP and stock recovery so only follow what are wrote in guide.
For the bootloader, Huawei site doesn't work so use DC-Unlocker to grab it...
Use search on the whole p9 lite thread to find what you're looking for
or kindly use @ and ask dev or other users to take an advice, i'm sure someone wil help you..
It's not really complicated, just before make some things read more time what you're planning to do.
I cannot guide you throw this, you can do it.. just believe in yourself and use brain (must powerful muscle we have..)
Have a good day dude and remember make a backup and do one thing at a time..
P.S.: To do this some basic knowledge needed. if you think you do not have them, give up... Sorry..

Huawei P8 Lite custom rom upgrade for beginners?

Hi all,
I just received a Huawei P8 Lite 2017 with the bootloader unlock code.
I really thought it would take me 10 minutes to "flash" my phone with another rom (when I wanted Cyanogen on my SGS3, it took even less)... and here I am, 3 weeks later, with nothing done and no progress in understandng how to change a rom on this phone.
I spent hours going in circle on a few sites which are supposed to explain the procedure, but there's always something missing or a command that won't work or I get to choose between hundreds of rom without help.
This is kind of my last hope before giving up...
My phone:
Model number: PRA-LX1
Build number: PRA-LX1C432B212
EMUI version: 5.0.3
Android version: 7.0
My question:
"How can I install https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...ment/rom-aosp-10-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t4008999 as a beginner on my phone?".
Is there a comprehensive guide somewhere that would help me do that?
For the moment, I don't understand much of the installation section of the post (really not for beginners), and I'm stuck at the "required" section:
"ROM Firmware Required: Emui 8.x,bootloader unlocked and TWRP"
Since it took me 4 hours, this morning, to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP using ADB, can someone explain to me the step "Emui 8.x"? I really don't understand how to choose a working rom.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide and sorry if this message is a bit messy, I really am confused...
Edit: Nevermind, it seems like I needed to write this down to find my answers piece by piece on many different posts on different forums
Sorry for the disturbance.

Emui 8.x - please update your stock huawei rom to oreo. Then you will have Emui 8.
