Huawei P8Lite Notification/Double Tap problem - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I'm experiencing some issues with my new bought phone Huawei P8 Lite(ALE-L21 Single-Sim locked in Vodafone Romania).
The first issue and that's kinda important is the notification one; I won't receive for example Facebook's Messenger messages, when phone it's locked or often on home screen. I've given priority on that damn task killer, I did anything recommended on all forums and sites, even from WhatsApp's thread about receiving delayed notifications, I also installed that Push notifications app;
When I said I often receive notifications on my home screen it's beacuse they are delayed I think. I want to fix this so bad so I made a thread about this. Everything has priority, even networking apps, the lock screen has the default theme, I really don't know what to do anymore.
And the second one is about the common double tap execution when writing or tapping or anything else. I'm experiencing some troubles there too, especially when I'm writing, the phone is executing the second tap without my action and I don't know how to fix that.
I'll let some informations about my phone..
I've purchased this phone on 31th of May, 2016
The model number is ALE-L21/Single Sim
The build number is ALE-L21C02 B140
Android 5.0.1 with EMUI 3.1
Phone isn't rooted or modified, and I want to fix these without rooting if it's possible.

well .. you have 2 options:
1. Check notifications manager from notifications panel
2. Upgrade to marshmallow: upgrade to b170 then upgrade to b564 and hope this will fix your problem xD
About the double tap: that is an often problem on this huawei and you can fix that by upgrading to last version of marshmallow.

Can't find an notification manager, may you show me where it is?
And about the versions I found only b170 but it's from spain and I told you that I'm a little bit scared beacuse it's locked in Vodafone Romania

It doesn't matter from where it is, it's official from huawei. It doesn't matter if it's locked in vodafone romania, mine was also locked in vodafone romania, and i have b565 now
You won't brick your phone.
Here it's notification manager:
If you can't find notification, it means that this option is not available on 5.0

May you give me some links to the updates, please? I really don't want to f**k up the phone

Update via local update: make a folder named dload on your internal memory or sdcard an put the update.app inside of this zip
Then, update with the same procedure to 6.0 by installing update.app from this zip

ALE-L21C02 B140
It looks that Your phone is branded and I don't know if You will have balong bug after upgrading the system to B170 and upper. I recommend you to make a debrand process but it needs an unlocked bootloader. When You decide to do it remember to have done a backup of Your data!

Oups, didn't read c02 xD
But i don't think it's a big problem, even if he has balong, he can install vendor or change it.

Could you explain me what's "balong" and "vendor"; I'm sorry but I'm completely parallel with these kind of "deep" stuff in phones..

Balong is a bug that appears when you are installing a firmware that is not for your country and it's a problem with the version not showing properly. The vendor file will fix it.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app

And where can I find the vendor file, to avoid the balong bug?
And also is it a problem if I update my One-Sim Phone with an Dual-Sim FW?

That's strange, why are you having b140 on single sim?
And why you want to update with a dual sim version on single sim?
Just install b171 first then install b551, at last install b565 via ota.
Vendor file is inside firmware archives.

Hi,
I bought this phone Huawei P8Lite (ALE-L21) without being connected to any network carrier.
Before I start to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and Root the phone, I checked the system version and EMUI and the rest of the information needed before update to Marshmallow 6.0.
Before I had the following info:
OS: Lollipop 5.0.1
EMUI: 3.0
(ALE-L21C432B200)
At this point I had no update via OTA - (to the Android 6.0 Marshmallow), and made only unlock bootloader
After several hours of searching, I found that I could do a local update (B560 Marshmallow Firmware [Europe] - Dual SIM) available by Huawei.
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
I checked Huawei PDF on how to do the update but does not mention Required Version and proceeded to local update.
So far so good, the phone did the update without any problem.
I checked OTA for new update and the phone made update for B564 - Also mentioned by Carbontesla.com
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
Phone did the update (B564) without any problem, then I proceed installing TWRP and then I root the phone.
All work beautifully, but I noticed that whatever the application I use both SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, GMail, takes too long to receive notifications.
I do not know if he was already with this bug when the phone was with Lollipop 5.0.1 with (ALE-L21C432B200) and EMUI 3.0
I have not had time yet to reset the phone to factory settings and verify that fixed the bug, I will do this weekend week :fingers-crossed:
Can someone help me?

Check battery management and give access to work in the background for apps You need. Eventually check notification centre too.

Yes, I've been checking battery management if everything with access to work in the background for apps, and it seems to be ok and notification center too.
It continues with the same delay / bug
I hope this weekend to reset the phone to factory settings and verify if it keeps the same problem.

Check Wi-Fi sleep, and set it to off from Power Saving tab

I checked and is always on, no sleep.
Today is the day, I'm going to reset the phone to factory settings and then check if all is ok.
I'll be back once I have the result:fingers-crossed:

Before starting to reset the phone to factory settings, I made backup all my personal files and a recovery with TWRP if something wrong happened.
It seems to be all right after the whole process
I receive all notifications like any other phone in normal operation, no delay :good:
But before I celebrate, I will be alert to phone with daily use to make sure that everything continued well.
Thanks for all the help :good:

I also live in Belguim, I am on B331 but I have not received the update? Anything special you did to get this update?
tnx man
any news for mt-tl10?
Hello!
I'm new on this forum, but I realy like your work! My questions is: I'm now on B511 version of android 6.0; is it possible to update to this version (B522)? Or what would be the proper way to do it? I'm from Slovenia, Europe and my phone is MT7-L09.
Thanks guys!
Are we sure we will not hear this is the beta in a few days?
Sure it's not a beta? If so, what version I have to be to receive the Ota?
Can any one explain if you need to reinstall the device ? will all data be deleted ?
Can also some one explain on what version you need to be on to be able to update ?
I am on B331 currently (L09)
What about tl10?
I don't understand a single word from this german site.Do we need b513 to update with b522? Or it just can be updated from b331? Is this final ota official? Or just another beta build? For sure its for L09\2GB version thats only clear thing in text. Can anyone explain is it better than b513 and is there anything new? Is update menu in settings back?

I agree there is some questions to be answered...
Also more confirmation if this is official and final...
Why I ask this is cause Huawei support around the glob is crap, I would only trust chinese support.
For instance I asked 2 months ago Huawei support in sweden when he thought Marshmallow would be released
he said that it has already been released in some markets... if the confirmation comes from china I trust it but not otherwise
since Huawei only have "fake support " in most countries where they will tell you to please restart your mobile phone and re install the phone etc besides that they do not know a ****

The next final marshmallow update is coming up. This time is the extremely popular Mate 7 with Android 6.0 and 4.0 EMUI. It bears the name:
MT7-L09C432B522
On demand, Huawei has informed us that it is the final version for MM Mate. 7
The series join because both the P8 lite, the Mate S, the P8 and also the honor 7 have been supplied ? from the Far East with the coveted sweetness named Marshmallow (which is incidentally also excellent reintun for the hot cocoa. Huawei adopt because already a lot trouble, even though there are times comes in this context to the prophets of doom. this we hear but studiously and look forward rather than a working device.
The now presented and distributed via OTA update is of course again rolled out in waves. Your can watch the way with your wireless display introduced in about, first very little and in the end, more and more. The duration, the amount of time so that a rollout takes total to complete, until all are supplied is given always different. You should there but so get in the next two weeks. Of course it may be that Huawei first the BETA User supplied and brings the update shaft for rolling only after. Can not say or verify, as we currently know precisely only by a BETA users who we so firmware received update for its mate. 7 Thanks to the context of wool!
You will definitely be the next time the marshmallow update on your Mate 7 (in the branded devices such as Vodafone or Deutsche Telekom can take a little longer). It may of course be that the full version then has more MB than that which is currently provided to the BETA testers via OTA. Our version was approved by the MT7-L09C432B513 installed Coming. This should therefore be a prerequisite. If you can no longer wait or want, then flash your device manually, are but you aware of the dangers. It could be that your device after running bad, or not at all. Never change a running system. ? But as we now already know you, our warnings are you can not stop and you will not be able to leave. but Ok, then start please with here:
data backup
Before you charge ahead secures to any case your data, just what one should always do before an update. If you need to simple instructions, just look at our: Huawei backup - full backup
Furthermore, it should have your Micro SD card at least 8GB memory.
download
The firmware version MT7-L09C432B522 you can look in my mirror MEGA download / download.
installation
Normal method
The downloaded file "update.zip" copy in the to be created / or pre-created "dload" folder and this in turn to the root directory (which is the top level) of your Micro SD card (IMPORTANT! THE UPDATE.ZIP NOT UNZIP! !!)
Tippe following in the phone set string: * # * # 2846579 # * # * and then Switch to "ProjectMenu" -> "Software Upgrade" -> "SDCard Upgrade" and confirm with "OK"
It starts the update process and thereafter start your Mate 7 new
Force update method
The downloaded file "update.zip" copy in the to be created / or pre-created "dload" folder and this in turn to the root directory (which is the top level) of your Micro SD card (IMPORTANT! THE UPDATE.ZIP NOT UNZIP! !!)
Make sure your Mate 7 is turned off and the micro SD card with the "dload" folder is inserted. Now hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button is pressed, until a menu appears. Change the connection to the "Software Upgrade Mode".
The update process will start and your Mate 7 then starts automatically again.
After the successful update of your Mate 7 a manual Factory Reset is recommended.
they also write on the blog " The download, installation and use of the firmware is at your own risk.
We assume no liability for the functionality and compatibility of the software.
Damages on your hardware, we assume no liability.
Also for the correctness of the contents is no liability. The firmware version has not been tested by us. "
not a beta (for the ones wondering) it just shows up in my update app
when i try to install it by 3 bottoms that number doesn't work with zip update just with update.app
so it reach 5% in like 3 sec and then fail
so what should i do to work ??

maybe this update is not compatible with the Marshmallow beta version ?
This is a update version and not full version so some one really need to clarify which versions that are compatible with this update!
Any chance some one who has it could do a clean twrp backup and maybe put on mega, it would be muchly appreciated.
TIA

Hi everyone, My phone is Mate 7 TL-09 and firmware was B513 till yesterday I've got B522 notification and installed it. I installed Huawei ID and Huawei Cloud app, so I think, maybe, I got OTA update because of that. These two allow you to backup contacts, notes, ... to your Huawei cloud.
Huawei Cloud+ app: https://mega.nz/#!KVNzzaDL!AOVdRCttM27utV7N937zM__GSZxpyNvRjCtu0itQR1wL
Huawei ID app: https://mega.nz/#!3EdS0L4K!U8cBJw1kB-qlvQF838W-id78vFDMKQeKOyJ2_F1bJ_U
Also my B513 firmware was rooted and my phone recovery was twrp 2.8.7 mobopx tool.
In Notification of B522 update it said it's Full version, first it showed me a 1.22 GB File and I got a backup and return and it was 486 MB.
B522 download link: https://mega.nz/#!GRlzxJZS!x_dSYDOIofOQD-NeoIZ8sT2V6SvtgnPfNkMDKtBCt2g
The changes are: some minor bug fixes, "Backup" and "health"app added, still missing local update and a little phone smoother.
For installing of B522, it says your phone should not be rooted so I unroot and installed stock recovery of android 6 using mpbopx tool. Then downloaded and using automatic install and it reset two times and installed without any error. I installed twrp again and "supersu 1.64 pro.zip" helped me to root again. I've created a nandroid backup, upload in progress.

battery drains very fast on b552...100% to 91 % to 5h scree off
Well it would be nice if we could get better information for us normal people and non-hackers and rooters too ?
In fact all people who have waited for final marshmallow version do not care about any of that staff that is why we did not install the beta.
So leet keep all this "root" talk in another thread. The final version seem to be here so lets instead discuss what versions that are compatible with this official update.
I have never got any updates pushed on OTA so I most install this manually

L09-C183 Nougat Firmware

Hi guys,
I've been searching all over the show but can't seem to find leaked Nougat firmware for my device :/ it's a C183 released in New Zealand. Anyone know if there was actually firmware leaked for the C183 region?
cheers

I purchased the 2 degrees stock firmware for NXT-L09_C183B130_Firmware_New Zealand_Brightstar NZ Limited_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_05013NLM
Link is here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3pCekrpvWeaNk5meFMtR1dadms/view?usp=sharing
I have that version, I updated to B330 and my cust get broke (C900), but the system with EMUI 4.1 works fine, I tried to update to nougat but the system does not allow with C605 and C432. Maybe with other version work the update.
Yeah I also purchased through 2degrees. Unfortunately it seems firmware for this region hasn't been released still... I was expecting an update back in Feb. Frustrating.
Iv'e still seen nothing
I remember when I was using the Mate2, there were countless debates if/when LL5 was going to be released.
Huawei stated by the first half of 2015. It was released I think it was JUNE 30TH...the "last" day of the first
half of 2015.
If that holds true this time, then they announced Nougat 7 for the Mate 8, "by the end of the 1st quarter of 2017"
would mean...by March 31st. Just something to think about.
Personally, I'm holding off. I can wait. I use a BT headset for the phone, and use it A LOT. The past 4 phones I've
had, I've never used it by holding the phone to my ear, only through the headset. I've seen scattered reports of
issues (not just the Huawei phones), of glitches with bluetooth on nougat.
Marshmellow for me, on the mate8 is VERY stable, so it's a choice. If you gotta have the latest/greatest, there are
sources you can find to download it, but, if you want stable, you might want to wait a while.

Nope still no sign of c183 nougart firmware and now it's may. I am beginning to believe that Huawei are not going to release firmware for this region. It may be potentially due to the poor sales of the device in the region. Who knows. I have not been able to find a single other firmware variant that will flash to the phone. It's disappointing that we've been let down like this with it being a flagship device.
Does anyone have the backup of the cust for this region firmware? I will Rollback my update from 330 (Where I lost my cust), and I will try to change the region, Does anyone tried to change the region to get updates?

these were taken from partition backup manager a few months ago ...these are from NZ L09-C183B150 EMUI 4.0
I have managed to upgrade to Nougat EMUI 5 using firmware finder without root or unlocking boot loader....following L29-636 Starting from file from B180 I didn't change cust but after first update it changed to L29 636 and has had no problems at all
The B585 is smooth and I have had no issues with batter drain or restarts at all...very happy with this after 3 weeks no problems at all.
The only issue was that after B330 which updated successfully, I did discover that my bootloader did get unlocked so I used DC Unlocker to re lock again which cost me 6 credits....now unrooted and bootloader locked.

This is not for the faint hearted , You need to make sure you have backups of oem.info and cust for for the NZ model.
Also have the NZ firmware update app if needed, here on my google drive....unzip and place extracted update.app onto your SDCARD in dload folder
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3pCekrpvWeaNk5meFMtR1dadms/view?usp=sharing
Using HCU Client read phone info take a a screen shot with repair UMTS with of your serial number, imei number, & sub imei, WIFI & bluetooth MAC vendor etc...store this on your PC because you may need these settings if you lose modem settings after unbricking from DC Phoenix
I then would recommend that you have DC Phoenix on stand by and bookmark this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/nxt-c900b180-to-nxt-l29c432b330-easily-t3611500 even though its for 432 it will still get you unbricked if it all goes sour.
Now....just to clarify I was on stock firmware L09C185B130 same as your model (shared from link above)with locked bootloader and no root make sure you have developer mode enabled and OEM unlock enabled.
If any of the above is confusing then I would recommend that you go no further.
1st Install Firmware finder and and Firmware finder proxy. enable proxy port in wifi settings ie localhost port 8080
2nd Open FF go to settings and enable USE PROXY TO INSTALL disable SHOW PACKAGES FROM CURRENT REGION
3rd Open go back to FF start and type in NXT-L09636 and click search go to the first and lowest firmware which is B170 download and then install via proxy thru normal update it will show up in Phone settings system update if it doesn't then go back into FF settings and tell it to use proxy to install and then push system update to detect.
This should install without any hitches but you will notice now your firmware will be c900b170
goto FF again and choose the next firmware which is 180 then 193 then 211 etc etc when you get to 330 you will have to trial and error which file will work, I started with the largest full OTA but I dont remember in the end which one worked I think I had 3 or 4 goes if it fails it will stop at 15% and then stop you will have to force reboot thru holding power key but it should boot to normal and then just try another firmware of the same number.
when you get to b330 you should find you have changed to L29636B330 but you will now have unlocked bootloader? not sure why? anyway....keep trial and error updates until you get to B585
Hope it works good luck

Using HCU Client read phone info take a a screen shot with repair UMTS with of your serial number, imei number, & sub imei, WIFI & bluetooth MAC vendor etc...store this on your PC because you may need these settings if you lose modem settings after unbricking from DC Phoenix
I then would recommend that you have DC Phoenix on stand by and bookmark this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/nxt-c900b180-to-nxt-l29c432b330-easily-t3611500 even though its for 432 it will still get you unbricked if it all goes sour.
Now....just to clarify I was on stock firmware L09C185B130 same as your model (shared from link above)with locked bootloader and no root make sure you have developer mode enabled and OEM unlock enabled.
If any of the above is confusing then I would recommend that you go no further.
1st Install Firmware finder and and Firmware finder proxy. enable proxy port in wifi settings ie localhost port 8080
2nd Open FF go to settings and enable USE PROXY TO INSTALL disable SHOW PACKAGES FROM CURRENT REGION
3rd Open go back to FF start and type in NXT-L09636 and click search go to the first and lowest firmware which is B170 download and then install via proxy thru normal update it will show up in Phone settings system update if it doesn't then go back into FF settings and tell it to use proxy to install and then push system update to detect.
This should install without any hitches but you will notice now your firmware will be c900b170
goto FF again and choose the next firmware which is 180 then 193 then 211 etc etc when you get to 330 you will have to trial and error which file will work, I started with the largest full OTA but I dont remember in the end which one worked I think I had 3 or 4 goes if it fails it will stop at 15% and then stop you will have to force reboot thru holding power key but it should boot to normal and then just try another firmware of the same number.
when you get to b330 you should find you have changed to L29636B330 but you will now have unlocked bootloader? not sure why? anyway....keep trial and error updates until you get to B585
Hope it works good luck

When you converted your L09 to L29 did u get dual sim menu in Settings?
I want to crossflash my L09C432 to L29C432 so i can use dual sim function.
It works on Mate 9 and P10 singel sim when crossflash.
Just want to check if it is the same on Mate 8?

I change the region and the model to L29C636, thanks to Mickie's helps, my steps:
1. I install the B330, wich a get from the Firmware official thread, and I used the 3 button method.
2. With SRK Tool, unlok the bootloader and get root .
3. Again with SKR Tool, change the region, (Change oeminfo and custom bin) to Asia (C636) and model (L29).
4. Donwload and Install the L29C636B330 (3 button method), I have to make a Factory Reset, with this firmware I lost the root and get locked the bootloader.
5. When I start normally, automatically get the update by OTA to L29C636B563.

Huawaei P8 GRA-L09 WIFI weak signal & GPS lost signal

Hello people of XDA,
I'm a Huawei P8 user and till recently, I was excited with my phone!
That was till the day I updated the firmware to B393 and I obtained two problems.
1st problem:
My wifi signal receiver got really weak and nowdays I can't reach and connect to WiFi connections,
that I could before the update.
2nd problem:
My GPS signal is suddenly getting lost and takes a while to reset.
Do you have any ideas how to fix these 2 issues??
Thank you very much in advance for your advice and help

If you have an EU-build, have you tried the latest, which is B397: [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B397 (12-05-2017)
Yes!
Now it is wearing B397 and still has both of the problems!

Try reverting back to the firmware that worked (if you remember) by reinstalling it via the dload-dialler method.
I tried rolling back to B390 but still the problem remains.
And unfortunately, there are no wifi settings concerning the wifi frequency available.

One more thing you can try is rolling back to Lollipop, then updating the phone via OTA only (not manually) - as this will ensure only 'official' updates are downloaded & installed.
First, & very important is to do a thorough & prior backup of your personal files stored in the internal storage (like: texts, contacts, photos, videos, music, etc as applicable & also make a note of all the apps you manually downloaded & installed) - as reverting to Lollipop (B200 step below) will most likely delete these.
Then download & install this MM to LL transition package (204Mb): http://consumer.huawei.com/nl-en/support/products/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=79605
Next, download & install C432B200 (LL) - direct full download (1.6Gb): http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=68483&version=238533
[Or, you can follow this guide: Huawei P8: Rollback from Marshmallow to Lollipop (German-English Google translated link HERE if required)]
Once above completes successfully, does everything work as it should?
Restore all your backups & apps now (or wait until after you update to Marshmallow in the step below).
Finally, check for & install OTA updates (Settings > Update > Check for updates) - it should find the latest official Marshmallow update. If not immediately, give it a few days to a couple of weeks.

Stock ROM upgrade needed for G7-L01

Hi
I have a Huawei ascend G7 purchased in the UK from “Carphone warehouse” who seem to have been the only UK supplier of this model
The model is G7-L01
Android 4.4.4
EMUI 3.0
Custom version CUSTC432D001
My problem is a few banking apps I rely on have now stopped working as their updated versions insist on android 5 or higher
There has never been an OTA update for this phone since I purchased It
The only official ROMS listed on their website I can find seem to be for the G7-L11
I contacted Huawei support who confirmed that the particular model and custom version I have has no official updates newer than I am currently running and there no planned updates for it.
What are my options for getting this phone upgraded ? if possible I’d like to go with a stock ROM. could I use one from another region ?
Although I’ve had lots of phones in the past that I’ve put custom ROMS on I’ve always tried to keep this phone as stock because the same banking apps I rely on wouldn’t work properly on my last phone because they detected it had been rooted.
Searching these forums I’ve found a few guides but nothing for the particular custom version I have. I don’t know if this matters ? I don’t want to risk bricking it with an incompatible ROM
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer
OK this is weird.
3+ years of no OTA updates. I enquire with Huawei and am told there are none and it is out of support.
Less than a week later and I'm being offered an OTA update.
Staggering coincidence ?
Only thing is it is reporting that I should download and do an SD card update instead of an OTA update as it is detecting that my device has been "modified".
I seem to recall I unlocked it a long time ago to try and root it but the root was unsuccessful.
Update is Android 5.1
EMUI 3.1
G7-L01C432B350CUSTC43D002
I just need to find it somewhere :-/

Hi,
I also got this update notification on Saturday night. I have had this phone for 2 years now and never got a OTA notification until 2 days ago. The phone was working great, good battery life after 2 years and good performance. I use it mainly for youtube, whatsapp, some browsing, music, and calling.
Well, decided that updating to 5.1 would be a good idea but it hasnt. I cannot make any calls (phone disconnects and connects constantly to the mobile network, so every 2 seconds the "only emergency calls" message pops up and doesnt let me make calls). Same for receiving calls, when someone calls me it rings for 2 seconds and then it appears that call has been hung up, then it rings again, 2 seconds and hang up again... the constants connections and disconnections are drainning my battery (from 100% to 7% in 1.5 hours). Contacts didnt work and also messages either. As you go into one of them, it kicks you out of the list to the main screen. Of course this issue affects Data Mobile; I cannot use my phone internet unless its by Wifi.
Going into airplane mode stopped drainning problem plus contacts and messages are working now, but as soon as you turn airplane mode off you wont be able to go into contacts or messages/signal problems back.
Nothing of this happened when I had 4.4.4 version, so its clearly a software issue. Im gonna try doing a hard reset/factory defaults, since I could backup my contacts. And if this doesnt solve the problem, I think the best idea would be custom ROM/go back to 4.4.4.
This is a good phone, if good software is installed on it. It can last some more years.
@g7l01
Hi. I had exactly the same problems on my moms Ascend G7. She updated that OTA and mobile network got constantly shut off and on again. I solved it by doing a backup by Huawei HiSuite over PC. And then reflashed version 340 again manually (instructions at Huawei-Blog). Mobile networks are working again after flash but phone is still not working 100% correct. She gets randomly her mic muted in most calls, or recently her "back" button in navbar disappeared today...?
I'll either downgrade to 4.4.4 version or try lineage os soon.

I solved it too! In my case I backed up my contacts to the micro SD card and did factory wipe/reset from the recovery menu (by restarting and pressing vol+ + power). I had all my data in my micro SD card so there wasnt any need to backup or anything. After doing this factory reset everything is working fine: phone signal, calls, contacts, messages, battery life, etc. I installed back the few apps I had and now everything fine, even performance is good! same as in 4.4.4. Im gonna stick with lollipop for a while, If I find any issue itll be time for a custom ROM or downgrade to 4.4.4
Cheers:good:
Hey you know how to to root g7l01

Update to Android 8.0 Oreo

Hi all,
I'm on WAS-LX1AC432B184 and i can't update via OTA because "no update" and I think there's update as a friend of mine has the same phone but different build numbers as i needed to unlock my dual sim capability.
When i bought my phone i could only use 1 sim then i changed it to a dual sim. Can this be the reason why i can't get updates? The guy that did the dual sim conversion told me that i will be able to get updates as normal but i don't at all.
Please help me get the latest update so that i can enjoy the new Android – 8.0 Oreo
Hey there, by looking at your build number, you've got a 3GB RAM variant (LX1 instead of LX1A) Dual SIM (even build number) P10 lite on the global cust (C432).
The strange thing is the build number, stuck at 184 when Nougat arrived at B209/210 (Oreo is at B360/361).
Maybe you did some kind of modification (root, bad EMUI flash in the past) to the system so you can't receive official Huawei updates via OTA?
Have you tried clicking on the top right in System Update > Download latest full package?
Just some guesses here…
Probably, the you're huawei p10 lite dual is a branded? Usualy these models is the very slow for porting major release.

Hi zYoshi,
the download latest full package is greyed out... i have done a dual sim conversion in the past not sure if it was done correctly but i got it done... is there anyway i can fix this?
I want to get new updates for my phone to be honest.

Hi sham_1
I sent you a guide wrote quickly in DM (for anyone who might need it, I left it here).
One quick question, now you have an even build number, right? That means that you are on a Dual-SIM firmware.
I suggest you to follow these steps and maybe wait some weeks because I did something similar too while Oreo was hitting Huawei's servers, but I received it only a month later, when the IMEI finally matched my firmware (the IMEI has to be approved in order to receive updates, suggest to "check firmware availability" on Firmware Finder).
"Hey,
I'm not so experienced in Huawei modding, but I managed to debrand my device from C55 to C432, so maybe it's worth a shot.
•
Anyways, try this:
- Download Firmware Finder from Play Store
- open it and click on WAS-LX1C432
- search for builds like B210 (must be an even number and not an Oreo B361, otherwise you can brick your device) choose a FullOTA
- click on update via proxy/DNS, follow the steps on screen
•
The important thing here is to know if the phone grants you into updating with that build, then failing in erecovery (detecting an error, no brick) so that you can reboot with not updated firmware and do a standard System Update from the settings, that update will contain the same build that you've got installed, but it will be used to basically overwrite everything without losing any data, even thought I suggest you to do a backup.
•
Before doing any of the steps I gave you, could you please describe me what you did, what method did you follow?
•
In this post, I am giving steps that worked for me when I had a corrupted firmware, but your problem may be different from this.
Check also the HWOTA method (to solve the same problem but with the warranty void, I suggest to use it only if the above method doesn't work), search "HWOTA P10 lite" on Google for more info.
•
Hope this helps
-zYoshi"
