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 ?

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.

First you must Update to B188 via Local Update and then the Android 6.0 Firmware B524 via Local Updater too.
Here the Files:
https://mega.nz/#!jNEUkKDC!LXQegnIClkxMKjUkCG3c2WT1aoUR2gRb7Rn_zhoxW10 B188
https://mega.nz/#!OBVU3RyT!gSDNFMVtWVqA1HyneCuofhFmVVJ6lUDonzfKzjucbFs B524 Android 6.0
But the B524 Firmware Update works only on the B188 Firmware.

All work ? No have bugs ? All storage clear ? The guarantee is valid?

i've got the 4% error when installing B188, im on B170 now

The b525 is really more elaborate. Really more.
It's for single sim variant, need firmware B171(with kernel 9 October ).
The B525 is European too, the two beta have all the language of course
Good B171 for B525 here
http://consumer.huawei.com/cz/suppo...0=Mobile Phones&key1=Smartphones&key2=ALE-L01.
Because they are two B171Build but only one works with B525.

Nougat in Macedonia?

Is there anyone from Macedonia who has received official OTA update for Nougat for model L21 C432B161? I'm on VIP sim card and still have no update, but in the region Huawei users already entire week receiving OTA.
What can be the problem?

I am from Macedonia and also using VIP and I haven't received the update but I installed it using Firmware Finder app and its full OTA so if you want Nougat then you CAN try with the FF method.
Поздрав.

I know it can be done with FF. I decide to wait official OTA, but....
When did you upgrade yours?

p9 Lite reverting from (self installed) dual sim firmware back to stock single sim?

About 14 months ago Orange had a great deal on the p9 lite, so I leapt on it.
I thought it might be fun to upgrade the firmware from the single sim (as supplied) to dual sim ...I recall it took me many nights! (& it wasn't fun)
Now I've a few issues with the phone & I don't use the dual sim at all ...so I'd like to go back to stock single sim software ...how do I do that? (I've downloaded what I think is the correct rollback software, put it onto sd card in a dload folder...but when the upgrade happens I get a warning that the firmware I'm using is incompatible with the current version)
My phone is currently running VNS-L31C432B130 (but like I say, this is dual sim firmware ....I now want single sim)
Many thanks in anticipation

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip << It's VNS-L31C432B161

Many thanks...that has installed fine - when I go to Settings - About phone it shows VNS-L31C432B161 ...just to confirm that's single sim firmware? (edit: just seen that the option to manage sim cards is still showing in settings...therefore this must be dual sim firmware?)
VNS-L31C432B161 seems to be quite an old version (Oct 2016 - ish) - how do I get up to the latest version now that I'm back on stock single sim firmware?

B160 - Dual SIM
B161 - Single SIM
Download and open Firmware finder >> Tap on VNS-L31C432 >> Search for VNS-L31C432B371 (Full OTA MF PV !) >> Tap on it >> Get an update through DNS >> Change DNS >> Register Update >> Go to Settings > Updater and there you should see the update >> Update.
You have VNS-L31 , I have VNS-L21 , so I don't know what updates do you need to install in order to get the latest version (You can't simply install VNS-L31C432B404 for example if you have VNS-L31C432B161)

Thanks ...B371 Full OTA MF is downloading now ...once installed, presumably I have to go through all the follow on versions from B371 in the same way? (is there a list of releases anywhere so that I know which firmware versions/order to apply?)

Well after a lot of faffing about (& a couple of upgrade failures - 'unable to verify' blah blah), it seems that the B371 from firmware finder loaded...but bizarrely, after upgrading the phone tells me it's running NRD90MTEST firmware.
Any idea if that sounds right?
Edit: Bluetooth isn't working...oh dear, something has gone badly wrong here...

Ok, so it seems if NRD90MTEST firmware is showing after an upgrade, then the wrong firmware version was selected in firmware finder...so I reverted back to B161 where I shall now stay put!

Ehm , I told you to download the FULL OTA MF PV version , not FULL OTA MF ...

You did indeed, but I clearly missed the importance of the PV (no harm done, as I say I rolled back to B161) ....I don't suppose you happen to know which is the most recent firmware version that everyone is using successfully from Firmware Finder for VNS-L31C432 (i.e. where Bluetooth works, Camera Works etc.)

Heh , no problem if you managed to rollback to B161 . Also , did you update to B371 ? I mean , after you rolled back to B161 , did you update to B371 ?
By the way , you can't install versions one by one (Like B371 > B380 > B381 (for example)) because one is for Single Sim and one is for Dual Sim >> For example , I have VNS-L21C432B391 , and those with Dual SIM version have VNS-L21C432B390 and they'll get an update to B392 , and I'll get an update to B393 .
I would help you more if I had the 3GB version and not the 2GB version..

No I didn't ...only because I selected the wrong version of firmware in firmware finder & now my phone is waiting for me to update it (I can't find a way to reject/remove the update ...which if I could, I would then update to B371)

My phone was purchased as a single sim, but it had dual sim capability - therefore I'm confused as to whether I should always be selecting the dual sim firmware when upgrading...also, where are you finding our which version is single sim & which version id dual sim (is there some website which lists this?)
Are you saying that if I manage to upgrade to B371, afterwards I should then upgrade to B390...which will ultimately see my phone getting an upgrade to 392?
Many thanks for your help :good:

Ah , forgot that you have VNS-L31 and not VNS-L21.
Use Firmware Finder to send B371 FULL OTA MF PV version to Updater..

Alas, I can't get the wrong version of firmware out of updater (it's currently got the non PV version - from a day or two ago)...it's still hanging about in updater (even after me deleting the update.app files using a file manager app on the phone, factory reset....still there!) - in fact I think it has really messed things up badly (I spent a full night ponied up 15EUR on DC Phoenix to recover my phone.)
So, having added the wrong version of firmware to updater, there seems to be no way of either deleting it or superceding the version that's currently sitting in updater ...it's stuck with that wrong version in updater ....forever!

Any news about BND-L21 updates

Hi
PLZ any one knows about any updates for honor 7x i stuck on b101

You and other hundred of people including me.. and I don't understand why but we should start receiving the b123 that everyone lready receives.. we can't either go to firmware finder and update. Because our imeis aren't approved

So we have to wait

I have L24 US version of Honor 7X. It was stuck at firmware B101. Always said "No update". Customer support could not help. I had a ATT Mexico SIM in it. As soon as I changed the SIM to T-Mobile US, it found updates B130 and B140. So update depends on SIM.
I also bought another Honor 7X that had already B130 and put in Movistar Mexico SIM and it found right away update B140. So it may be that only B101 needs a US Sim to update.
I hope this helps other people who are still stuck at original firmware B101.

I can update from B101 to B102 before by using FF, then I cannot update my Phone anymore. I don't why I cannot receive any update. Is that Hong Kong cannot receive the update data?
