We need more information. Where are you at now? (Bootloop, normal System, nothing at all?) And how did you install the update? (Local, OTA)
Remember, ALWAYS do a full backup before doing anything with your system, especially but not only, if it's not an OTA.

In my case install abort at about 10% and say that; it was because my phone was rooted!
you can solve opening supersu app, there is an option inside for remove and prepare for an other app.
But on the other hand I see your version ends ...160
check in the zip file that you have downloaded ; the pdf contains version you can update from.
In mine it says:
The following versions can be upgraded.
Versions can be upgraded
ALE-L21C432B525
ALE-L21C432B183
ALE-L21C432B171
ALE-L21C432B009
ciao

Bro check if you are using c432 version or c185, if c432 then it won't upgrade because your phone if c185 variant.
I am also running a c185 variant of phone and marshmallow is running awesome i updated from b160 to b524, now waiting for b550 update for this variant

Are you rooted and have twrp recovery? If yes, then unroot completely and flash stock recovery...
After that, try updating it again..

Root with Ver. NRD90M test-keys

I have a Huawei VNS-L31 and got the update to Emui 5.0. I have now the Ver. NRD90M test-keys. Is it possible to root with the same method that I used before on Android Marshmallow? I also noted that some people say that they're stuck on this version. Is this one somehow bad?
Thanks!

I have nouget too you can easily downgrade if you do it right most people just get it wrong and you can root with a PC look in the guides section of the p9 lite fourms and you should find it there if not look.uo a guide on google it uses a pc but there is no way to do it on the device its self after you've flashed AND booted into nouget as twrp is not supported yet you had to flash nouget and then flash an elite kernel to get root after updating you'll have to either use a PC or wait.

No, I know how to root on MM, but I can't downgrade cause my NRD90M test-keys version is not official.

I did not use the classic TWPR.
I have the same version as you and I put on the recovery Revolution with the root revolution and everything works very well ...
You have to flash the recovery.img in fastboot and here you go!
If you can not root I think you can change Rom without problem

The C900 version

Hi, recently I tried to upgrade my P9 lite to Nougat using Firmware Finder app. I downloaded and installed the B361 version but it was all buggy so I decided to do a rollback to MM. After doing the rollback I got a C900B160 version.
Is this C900 version a problem? Should I change it to C423?
Also, why was the B361 Nougat so buggy? Did I do something wrong?

if you flashed rollback package its ok to get that. just put marshmallow CxxxB161 ( Cxxx- means your number C432 C02 etc.. ) then with 3 buttons method flash marshmallow and you are good to go.

I already flashed the MM and it is still a C900 version, I downloaded it from official emui website as I remember.

How to update from VNS-L21C900B170 to Nougat

Hi there!
I have the P9 Lite (VNS-L21, Single Sim)
Out of the box, it came with branded ROM Version VNS-L21C150B130
I've successfully updated to VNS-L21C432B170 (with dload method) but that changed the version to VNS-L21C900B170.
I don't have any problems with that, the phone runs flawlessly, but i can't update to Nougat.
How can i update to Nougat and what's the suitable version?

Any Help?
Meanwhile, i've unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, i've flashed oeminfo's form C432, tried a few Nougat Roms but none successful.
(All fail while verification)
Finaly I've rolled back to C432B160 and then updated to C432B170.
From "Software Update" I got notification for updating to C432B370 (1,24GB) but the result is "ND90M Test-Keys".
What am i doing wrong?

So i have to re-unlock the bootloader and install twrp to flash Nougat from scratch.
The problem is that i'm on C432B170 and i get a notification for updating OTA to C432B370 which is 1,24GB and gave me test keys... How can i flash the "hw_data" after the OTA update?

Any answers?

[Firmware] Which firmware should i use to update to emui 5.xx with VNS-L31 C432 B226?

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...

Use then stock updater to look forward

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
