Which firmware?

Just got a P8 Lite delivered from Carphone Warehouse UK. Its an unbranded unlocked model.
It states model number - ALE-L21 and the build number is - ALE-L21C432B133
I assume its an older version but there is no OTA available for it. Not sure if this is the dual sim EU version or not. Which version should I use to update? Any reason why no OTA or is it because its on an older version and it's missed it?
Thanks in advance.

ALE-L21C432B133 It's Europe single sim, latest update is B171 or B183.
Use anything you want to update, just follow the correct procedure (on XDA u can find it all)

Thanks I will have a search around.

Don't see why the latest is not available via OTA though? Even with HiSuite it says latest is installed (B133)

ALE L2TURC02B140 TR/ vodafone ?
What do I need to install software ALE-L21 TURC02B140? What do I need to install software

You need the branded one from vosdafone to update, or follow a guide to debrand then use the one you like.

Can't help as thought the phone was rubbish after just 4 hours of use so sold it already and got a 2015 Moto G instead.

[Download] Android 6.0 B320 for KIW-L22

Hi guys, I just saw that India posted the official honor 5X KIW-L22 firmware for Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.0.
http://www.hihonor.com/in/support/details/?DOC_ID=83346
I expect you will see the other regions upload their firmware #soon.

Well thanks @wimbet ! as i'm on beta i got it upgraded with 129Mb and well looking for FP patched in next CM 13.1 @crpalmer

Arobase40 said:
Thanks wimbet for the Indian users but would you mind asking the European developers what they are doing for the KIW-L21 devices whether for the monthly Lollipop Android Security patches or eventually for the MM firmware ?
I guess the Egyptian KII-L21 GR5 users also need a downgrade firmware from MM to Lollipop...
Finally, when do you think we'll be able to download latest kernel source code with latest Android security patches ???

I don't know the EU schedule for KIW-L21, but the US version KIW-L24 will get Android M #soon. I would expect that all the regions get it around the same time - there are just some small differences to allow for testing and verification. If regular updates are important to you, then I encourage you to keep sharing your feedback on the official Hihonor channels like the Honor Global Facebook page. Honor does listen to its customers and your feedback is very important.
For the US KIW-L24, I will make sure to request the latest kernel source and downgrade packages are uploaded to the official Hihonor.com support pages as soon as they are available.

Arobase40 said:
Problem is that I don't and won't never ever use any social apps or social website so is there any other way to contact them and leave feedbacks ?
I don't ever know which and where is my official EU Hihonor website as when I placed a phone call to Honor in France my call was redirected to somewhere else (don't know where) and they simply say : they don't know whatever the questions... ^^

Here is the official Hihonor support site for France that has contact info - http://www.hihonor.com/fr/support/#contactus
The global Hihonor site will get a redesign soon that makes it much easier to find and select your regional site.

Arobase40 said:
I think it's NOT yet ready and not finalized.
I have had a very quick glance at the discussions and I haven't seen anyone telling it's ready for a rollout. But I probably miss something...
I guess it will come soon...
I'll watch again at it when I have more time.

Stock Roms are phone version specific. If phone version is L-21 you cannot use L-22/L-24 or any other Stock update/rom.
Hope it helps.

Thank you

Proxy method?

Better let someone else handle the updating, seeing as you're don't like reading too much.

Dude, don't be salty because getdroidtips isn't clear.
I managed to update btw, close this topic

Dude use Firmware Finder app and dns/vpn method
to try to force the upgrade ( try to use B361 FULL OTA-MF PV first ).
If all will take right direction, then use same method to update to
B502 (dual sim) or B503 (single sim) FULL OTA-MF version.
See the attachtments and good luck.
Cheers

Dear,
huawei never planned to forward oreo official upgrade to p9 lite ( 2016 aka venus model ) users,
so do not waste your time looking for this, it simply doesn't exists...
B502 ( dual sim ) / B503 ( single sim ) are latest Nougat firmware.
Cheers

Firmware Finder is down bro, definitively. You can try to upgrade using dload method. Download Service ROM for dual SIM
and flash it, instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder. This process will erase all your data (and lock the bootloader again) !
I hope you have Dual SIM variant. If not, let me know.

ALE-UL00 with other roms

Hi,
My brother bought a P8 Lite from Aliexpress but he received the ALE-AL00 version.
All updates have been made.
But there are always Chinese characters in the interface and the internet search returns only Chinese, no Gapps either.
Is it possible to install a European version of the roms on the UL00?
Can you help me do it?
Thank you.
Regards,

I'll sugested you something more radical than RootingPro-18
Flash ALE-L21C432B052 Dual Sim Transition, but this require some steps before, you can find this well detailed in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/huawei-p8-lite-unlock-bootloader-t3490856
Attention, do it at your own risk.

Thanks but are you sure i can flash my ALE-UL00 with ALE-L21xxxx roms ??
My ALE-UL00 is dual sim and bootloader is unlock
What is MM in "if you have MM already" ?
I need download ALE-L21C432B618 or ALE-L21C432B170 ?
Thanks a lot

How to know version variant of Honor 3C stuck on welcome screen

Hi Geeks,
I have Huawei Honor 3C H30-U10, It was running fine but some days back when I plugged in charger it restarted and hung up on welcome screen(no animated logo). Seems like I need to install Stock Rom to it.
I saw this thread of codelover and I need to download correct ROM for my version of phone. But I am unable to find anything.
It's just written on back side:
honor
Model H30-U10
Made In China
CE 0197
IMEI1: ***..
IMEI2: ***..
S/N: J5X7NB94A*****02

and nothing else.
So my question is:
How to find if my Honor version is:
International variant
Chinese variant
Or European variant??

I was wondering which ROM should I download and I downloaded V100R001C900B110 but when I was recovering/flashing from SD Card it warned me that my version is:
H30-U10 V100R001C900B108
and I am trying to flash it with:
V100R001C900B110
So now I know exact build number of my phone.
I hope it will help someone who is looking for same question.
