firmware update. - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone. my phone is huawei p8 lite (ALE-L21C30B121)
so, for example, china releases android 6.0 beta, I see alot of posts about it, with steps, guides and all...
but I was wondering, if I want to install that ROM (android 6.0) can I install it directly from B121 to B5xx?
if not, how do I upgrade/downgrade from B121 to Bxxx, so I can make the B5xx update?
another question was - is it restricted to regions? I mean the "C30" it stands for Latvia, as I live in europe, and I have an europian P8 lite.
if yes, how can I change the "C30" to "C432" or other region, that has the official update?
hopefully I get an answer
early thanks!

Need help upgrading ALE-TL00 to Marshmallow AND remaining with ALE-TL00 (Chinese)

Hi there,
My wife has this P8 Lite (Young named model in fact) version ALE-TL00C01B250, which is a Chinese model with Chinese firmware.
I want to upgrade it to the lastest official chinese firmware, but the built-in sytem update check tells there is no other version available (Android 5.1.1, UI 3.1).
I have seen around some how-tos to convert to international version of P8Lite with Marshmallow, involving root and required tools. But we just want to keep the Chinese firmware, without having to install google apps and want to keep the so-called 'chinese bloatware'. So, basically we just need to find the official chinese firmware for the phone and use it, perdiod... but as I can't read Chinese, searching on officialor unofficial Huawei chinese forums is pointless.
Thus, some help here would be really appreciated to get the official Chinese update file and how to apply it properly.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Download firmware from either Huawei's official website or carbon Tesla and update it by going in setting--->updater---->local update.

You may lose is data so I recommend to make a backup.
Thanks for your replay, but the Carbon Tesla does not provide any ALE-TL00 firmware, only ATE-L21 which doesn't fit our purpose.
Huawei's official website (in Chinese to access ALE-TL00 firmware) is... in Chinese, and I can't read or find what I need... same as I mentioned it already for the official forum... but even after trying some 'random' clicks, I found only Lolipop version of firmware...

You SHOULD obtain the beta update.
1. Be sure: your phone must have original recovery and unrooted
2. Via HiCare (not from play store, but that preinstalled). From here go to beta testing, or rom update (accept the terms, maybe the text is in chineese but this you will understand)
3. If none above are working, try installing twrp, root, and flash sokkobans modified b564 cn firmware
(read the instructions)

Yes, we've got access to teh HiCare installed app, and there is an update offers (B551). Unfortunaterly, we have no account, and making one leads to error (probably a country issue).
But that's something I can try to fix.
Thanks!

EMUI updater

Hi all,
I am running a GRA-L09C432B200.
My updater says: No updates.
What is the reason ? As far as I know, there should be plenty official releases from Huawei. Can I do anything or should I just update myself.
It was the same for me in Romania, just get a firmware and manually update.
Exactly the same for me, in south Africa with my software being at b151

If you are in Europe, with B200 you can update to B370 directly, then B380...
Huawei P8 Official Marshmallow 6.0 [EMUI4.0.1] GRA-L09C B370 Eur Full [no wipe]
[Firmware][Leak]Huawei P8 B380 - GRA-L09C432B380
Edit: Ok, B380 may not be recommended as it seems to have broken Android Pay functionality on my phone. If this is not an issue for potential updaters, then it's fine.

New Mate 8, old Software

Greetings, people.
Since my old Mate 8 had a problem with the screen, Huawei Colombia decided to give me another one for warranty. The new one is from a different Carrier but is the same. Unfortunately, the Software version is stuck in EMUI 4.0 and Firmware NXT-L09COLC45B135.
I'm just curious... C45 version is for Latin America devices as C432 is for Europe. I know that. My question is... Is there a more advanced software version for this particular device/carrier? Is it possible to flash a Nougat ROM for an European model?
Thanks in advance, guys.

You can flash an european firmware without problem!
I mean...unlock bootloader, install TWRP and then flash the ROM? Can I use this one (NXT-L09C432B580)?

P8 lite ALE-L21 firmware update

Hey guys, I have been trying to help my friend who owns a P8 lite, to upgrade his firmware because his phone is in a buggy state where the wi-fi doesn't show any network at all, he can only use data..., and any OTA updates fail.
He is currently on ALEL21C22B190 version. First of all when I was searching for europe firmwares, they all had the C432 code, so I have prepared 3 firmwares for this route:
ALE-L21C432B204 -(5.0.1. to be ready to receive Marshmallow)
ALE-L21C432B564 -(Initial Marshmallow firmware)
ALE-L21C432B636 -(Latest Marshmallow firmware)
So my first question is this. If I do the standard SD card Update.APP way of upgrading, will the C22 current version allow me to install the C432 version?
If not I have downloaded this C22 version, (which I couldn't find easily) ALEL21C22B582 for a marshmallow version.
What do you think guys? Am i thinking this correctly? Will the C432 versions work?
And what the hell is wrong with his wi-fi sensor!
Edit: Foundout from here that C22 is for China,Europe apparently, but the lack of C22 downloads intrigues me.

Undo Rollback P9 lite?

About a year ago a did a rollback on my Huawei P9lite from Android 7.0 to 6.0. Now i want to update it back to the latest version available.
The phone won't do it automatically and I also can't find the right package online to do it manually. Does anyone have some advice on how to do this?
The current build is VNS-L31C900B160 (It also used to be C432 for europe instead of C900)
The phone hasn't been tampered with aside from the rollback.
Thanks in advance
Jenson
