Hi Guys
I want to install Marshmallow on my Huawei P8 Lite (Single Sim). I need to have B171 installed to update.
However, I am still stuck on B133. When I try to get an update over the air, it says that I already have the latest software installed. First, I tried to do this with the updater. Then, I used HiSuite. They both give the same message: no update available.
Next, I tried to update manually, by using the update that I found via xdadevelopers (http : // www . carbontesla . com/2015/11/huawei-p8-lite-b171-android-5-0-lollipop-firmware/) but it fails to update after 15%.
Finally, I tried all of the above after a factory reset, but nothing worked.
Is there something else I can do?
Thanks in advance!
Look at your phone settings, then about the phone and look at the build number and model number, what values do you have there?

Build number: ALE-L21C432B133
Model Number: ALE-L21
You don't have the balong bug error. So try reverting to build B052, then you can maybe updated to B188
Instructions on how to downgrade you can find here
Step 2 you don't need to do and Step 3 and 4 you can do OTA with the huawei updater.
Follow instructions mentioned in below topic , then you will be on latest android 6.0

Thank you for your answers.
All right folks!
If you encounter this problem as well on your device, do what Olrak and ettenleurtje have told in this thread. Downgrade to B052, then do an OTA upgrade to B170, followed by an OTA upgrade to B188. Then you have the latest OTA update, so you might decide to stop here. However, if you really want the Marshmallow Beta version, do the latest step in their guides as well.
Thank you both for helping me.

i have huawei p8 model number GRACE GRA-C900B370 marshmallow and i have been trying to downgrade with no luck, the battery life is horrible on this android version.
i downloaded the OS and extracted the dload file and all and when it starts updating it doesn't go past 5%.
any help would be appreciated.
Apparently, 'great battery improvement' with the latest B380 (can update from B370): [Firmware][Leak]Huawei P8 B380 - GRA-L09C432B380
Have you tried it?
Hi, what have you decided to do in the end?
If you still want to downgrade, what have you tried so far? To which version & build number do you want to downgrade?
When you say "i downloaded the OS", which version & build number are you referring to & where did you download it from?

Install firmware finder and adjust setting to view last firmware
If it can't find nougat update , you can unlock bootloader and update via twrp method

I found the b563 fw but when i tried to update it it stopped at 1 % and the phone rebooted. What can cause the problem ?
Keep checking! Older firmwares have some small optimization to be done. So these guys r releasing slowly

On the firmware finder app, disable OTA, and you'll see that the ones that say FULL/OTA will disappear,
and the only FULL that shows up are the older (EMUI 4x) ones. At least that's what happens on
mine. L29C185B321
I just manage to update to b563 by first flash b211 using the dload method, and then i could update to b563 with firmware finder . Thanks for the help everybody !
Hi,
i have a P9Lite European version debranded and my last rom was VNS-L31C432B161.
I have uploaded after this an other rom and now I have the Nougat with version NRD90M test-keys.
Is this version "genuine"?
If not, how can I fix it or downgrade to the right rom? (Better if Nougat!)
Thank you for your help.
I have been in the same situation. I have done a restore of my TWRP backup, after that i have done a c432b182 install, after that via OTA i installed the c432b378, and after that i installed the c432b383.
You could do this with the 3 button method, or with the caller (*#*#2846579#*#*).
I hope i helped you a little bit
I have followed this instructions and everything works now perfect!!
Stechguide.com for the downgrade
The HiCare app has automatically detected the new rom for the update and now I have:
VNS-L31C432B370
Hello!
I have got a P9 Lite (L21C432) with B170 installed. I try to update to B381, but when it starts the update proccess, it shows an error "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package". I'm sure that I've downloaded L21 version. So, is B381 still a beta version or is there anything else that I'm doing wrong? I have not rooted the phone and I do not want to do it, yet.
Thank you a lot!

Hi,
did you try to install the update by Firmware Finder and proxy method?

Go into "B380, new builds in Firmware Finder" topic and read that almost no one can install that update because of that error. So its not only you, its nothing we can do except to wait.
My phone had to be repaired last week, and the Huawei repair service changed everything in the phone except for the backplate.
However, I am now stuck with emui 4.1.2 in firmware VNS-L31 C432 B226, and i can't find a replacement firmware for the system.
The phone shows no update available in stock.
I have TWRP and magisk installed atm, just so i could try and get a different firmware with emui 5.1 or 5.0 at least, which I did to no avail.
Is there any way to find the correct firmware compatible with this phone?
Googling this firmware gives me no clues as to the correct path to updating this phone.
Should i use an adb/fastboot command prompt to update it, or use the dload method, or even the extract the SYSTEM.img from UPDATE.app method?
I just don't want to revert to an "earlier" version of the firmware with the dload method just to have my phone bricked.
These are the firmware i tried already:
[TO BE UPDATED]
TL/DR:
I have a Huawei P9 Lite repaired to a stock:
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 B226
EMUI: 4.1.2
in Portugal.
I want to know a compatible firmware or series of firmware patches so i can get
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 Bxxx
EMUI: 5.xx
Thank you for your time.
Hello,
it's strange that with an unbranded european firmware your phone didn't upgraded to android 7....
Anyhow i never done a forced upgrade but if i were you i wil try with HWOTA update, like explained in this thread.
So first make all your necessary backups, then unroot and finally follow the guide to upgrade.
P.S.: If your phone is dual sim try install B370, if single sim try with B371.
All the best

I tried a bunch of firmwares for emui 5.1 that didn't work, or which had NFC and bluetooth not working. I ended up downgrading to B160, and am now reupgrading to B370 after checking that both of the previously mentioned are working properly. I will update on this issue asap.
Also, it seems like the firmware I originally had was updated in march 2018, so it was really an updated official firmware with emui 4.1. What a weird setup. Could it be to make sure the NFC and bluetooth would be working? I just don't know...

I did it and it worked, however i flashed the recovery partition of version VNS-L31C432B380 with TWRP and now can't do a OTA update to B388.
Should I extract the recovery img from a b380 FULLOTA update and flash it to my recovery partition with fastboot?

Hey,
surely without stock recovery OTA updates won't work,
so yes try flash it with fastboot, then update to the latest/wanted firmware and finally unlock bootloader,
flash custom recovery and root (even if wanted).
Best regards
