HELP PLS! downgrade p8lite fail.

hello
i unlocked bootloader and rooted my p8lite, twrp is installed. im on 6.0 marshmallow and want to downgrade to 170, when i bought it it was on 171,but i want dual sim. the problem is how to unroot it and install stock recovery,than install b300. i tried already but it said no update.app found. what could be the problem. i had supersu on my homescreen could not delete it after unroot. i searched all xda and google for it but cant figure out what to do next. i realy need this badly to do,because i cant open anything on my phone its like a tablet. if anyone can help me wth steps to try. i will try again to unroot,install stock recovery nad try again to force update b300 "UPDATE.APP".
can i install 170 on b300 or it must go, b300-b190-b170 and than b534 6.0?
pls help and thanks

Make sure the name is "update.app" and not "UPDATE.APP" for me b170 worked just fine after that last night.
Also b300 does not visibly change anything. And install the b170 from the dload by boothing the phone while holding all the three buttons on the right side and release when you see huawei logo.

you need to flash stock recovery. Then flash v052 via fastboot commands. (info and links you can find here on xda). Then you can do upgrade through EMUI updater (by local update files) - info about upgrade to dual sim you can find here, on xda, again). Those are my steps, tried few times. Good luck.

Probably you need unroot the phone.

i fixed it. thanks anyways.

I believe you have to go back to the stock recovery, unroot, and THEN update to MM... but I'm not sure how.

Good to know.
One more question. If I go back to stock recovery and unroot, I should be able to fine the OTA update via the EMUI's updater? (whatever version it is)

After restoring the stock recovery reinstall your current OS and then you should be able to update via the updater app or by the dload method

What is your full build version - GRA-xxxCxxxB190?
--------------------
Btw, another way to update in your situation without losing root, is by using an all-in-one tool like FlashFire:

Thanks, will give it a look.
EDIT: My OTA update doesn't even show up, so I'm not sure if FlashFire can help me.
The full build is GRA-L09C469B190

Ok, before going any further, I strongly recommend making a nandroid backup using TWRP & also transferring a copy of the backup to another device, like a PC/laptop if possible...

If you have the Huawei HiCare installed, does it offer any updates when you check via it? If not, install it & check in both these places in the app:
HiCare app > Me tab > Check for updates
HiCare app > Service tab > OS Upgrade Early Adopters

You should only apply updates with the same Cxxx as yours.I thought that you have C432 from the other guy's post so I'm sorry.
And I've found B210 with C469 so you can update to this first with extracting the recovery from it with Huawei Update Extractor and flashing via fastboot and then updating via dload but i don't know if there's EMUI 4.0 for C469.

Hi,
What happens if you update with the wrong Cxxx?
I just got a used p8 that's got GRA-L09C02B191 on it. I'd like to update it to Android6 before starting to screw around with custom ROMs. I've got FirmwareFinder running, and it's already found 200+ options, none of which appears to be C02, despite that being my range setting. Is my model unupdateable?
TIA!

You will get C900 and won't be able to get OTA updates, themes may not work and Android pay.

If OTA method doesn't work, here are the available firmwares for your phone at Huawei (including Android 6).

Thanks for the lightning fast reply!
That's not so bad, I don't care about themes, don't use Android Pay, and doing the updates manually isn't a huge pain. Is there anything else that I lose? Presumably I'll be able to roll back to gra-l09c02b191 to restore full functionality?
So can I then just go directly for the latest firmware, which I guess is B370?
Thanks!

Reverting back to Stock Recovery

HI,
I have a p10-lite dual sim WAS-LX1A.
I am currently on build WAS-LX1AC185B120, that firmware is from middle east region. I have Twrp installed and Rooted.
But now i want to get back to the stock so i can get official OTA Updates, BUT I am unable to find that firmware on internet, instead
i got one on firmware finder app which is WAS-LX1AC185B174, this firmware is also from middle east but its updated, so i was just asking Can I extract recovery from this New version firmware (B174) and flash it on older firmware (B120). Is there any chance? if yes then what is the appropriate process for this? and also will the phone be unrooted or not?
Your replies are most welcome.
thank you.
(Sorry for Bad English).

You can extract any recovery with HuaweiiUpdateExtractor from any FULL-OTA

I too have the lx1a and just managed to flash stock. I tried numerous filmware files using filmware finder but none worked for me. In the link below is where I got the filmware that worked first time I used the WAS-L21A and everything is working great!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097
Forgot to say, on the first boot it booted to erecoveey and said something is badly damaged! However I just rebooted and it booted fine.

You need stock recovery to be able to flash stock filmware.
Just do what Harlock1978 said then flash the recovery via adb, then you can flash the stock filmware.
PM me if you need any more help.

Maybe that can work? I can only tell you what worked for me.
All you need is stock recovery flashed and the download from the link above.
In the download copy the 'dload' folder to the root of your sd card. Then just force update and it should flash the stock filmware.

Extract stock recovery flash it via fastboot and use Service rom on link already mentioned and dload method with three buttons for full recovery. On that way your phone will be locked, unrooted, updated, brand new same as from store ?

If you have the same version which is listed in service roms, absolutely it doesn't important place where you live. I suppose it's version was lx1(a)C185 for middle east and all files for c185 are is suitable for your Country too. I mean oeminfo and sevice rom with mark c185.

Oeminfo bricked?
Hi, I have bricked my phone. I can flash a ROM as an example no I have flashed the Elite ROM v7.7 but the oeminfo is bricked. Because the build number says: elemental als the IMEI numbers are missing so it looks strange. My problem is I do not know my build number and I have no backup. So I know that my phone is a WAS-LX1 with 32GB ROM and 3GB RAM. And I am from Europe/Austria.
Can I use that Files here to fix the phone?
many thanks

It may not be as simple as one file.
You need to flash stock AL10 recovery.img.
Then you need to put the update.app from correct region AL10 stock firmware on your sd card. Switch off your phone.
Then hold power, volume up and volume down at the same time. Your phone should automatically update. If you get failed to update message, eg, it goes to 5% then fails, it means you have the wrong firmware. You have to keep on trying stock AL10 firmwares until success. Start with the right region first, like the region your in and then go from there.
Check somboons threads. Read the posts regarding your firmware. Also check SRK tool lod Chong version, also from somboons. That might be very helpful.

Sorry for late reply. What firmware did you have before downgrade?
Either way, you may not be able to use a recent firmware. Your best option is to find the same firmware you had when you got your phone, follow the instructions I gave you in earlier reply. Once your phone is working, you may have to manually update your firmware. Don't just use system update because that can create a lot of problems for your device. Just keep reading the somboons posts because there very helpful.
