Hey everyone
I have a P8 Lite ALE-L21C02B130 from Vodacom South Africa.
My question is, can anyone give me assistance on loading android 5.1.1 (BETA or Official ROM) on this device?
Bootloader is unlocked, but device is not rooted.
Any help with this query would be really appreciated.
Put in on a sd card and install as local update.
http://huaweifirmware.com/huawei-p8-lite
Here you can find B008(5.1.1) and through OTA get B010(5.1.1)

Can I go from B150 (5.0.1) to B008 (5.1.1) ? My model is ALE-L02......
No, you can't go from B150 only from B136.
Model ALE-L02 is the same as ALE-L21 they only use another freq so i guess it should be working.
So fron B150 we can go to B136? I have ALE-L02 too.
So this will work on B130 for sure, no other steps needed other than mentioned? @EpicBass
I'am not able to downgrade to 136a cause i have a single sim phone.
My device is also single sim so I wanted to know if this will work as mentioned in your post? @EpicBas
I'll try to fastboot the rom in a couple of days.
Used this:

And it works!

So I can place this on my sd card to install 5.1.1 on my device? Will it wipe all my data?
@riaanck U need unlocked bootloader then run the batch files.
It will wipe all your data because it needs a factory reset.

So backup required. Will try this as soon as I have all my important goodies backed up and safe. Thanks for your help, will report back with results soon.
I can't seem to get my device to connect via ADB, I've followed all the instructions, but no luck. Any ideas?

hy guys,
i got an ALE-L21 and I'm from Portugal.
I tried to root the phone for the first time with this tutorial, first with "How to Unlock the bootloader on your Huawei Android device P8 Lite" by Rootjunky.com from youtube and then "How to Root the Huawei P8 Lite Android phone" from the same author. but something went wrong, and now i'm stuck in huawei logo.
I already tried to format sd card, and put some firmwares, just with the paste dload, with the file on it, but it always says "software install failed"
V100R001C432B052 (Dual SIM / Europe)
V100R001C432B041c (Europe)
V100R001C432B046b (West Europe)
those 3 didnt work - how do i figure out which one i need without starting the device to look for the build number
it is also rooted what i guess caused the problem in the first place
Please help me!

You wellkome buddy ?
Ok thanks I have the exact same problem by the same old rootjunky from YouTube.
So ill be able to fix this (I hope).
But how do I root my P8 Lite properly after the fix?
Hello.
Should i try all this?
I tried to root ALE-21C432B605 Android 6.0 (Emui 3.0.2 i believe)
(Same story as topic starter)
Tia.
Due to quite a bit of research, I now have faith in the rebranding method. I'd like to share the method and knowledge for rebranding with the XDA community.
Currently Available Rebrandings:
For Mate 9:
MHA-L29C432 (Dual sim, European version)
MHA-L29C10 (Dual sim, Russian version)
MHA-L09C432 (Single sim, European version)
MHA-AL00C00 (Dual sim, Chinese version)
For Mate 9 Pro:
LON-L29C636 (Mate 9 Pro, Int'l Version, Asia)
LON-L29C432 (Mate 9 Pro, Europe Version)
LON-AL00C00 (Chinese version)
Requirements:
1. (VERY IMPORTANT!!)THE DNS ON YOUR ROUTER MUST BE SET TO 37.114.61.203 -- Make sure this is done and it works before proceeding.MOD EDIT:Link to paid service removed If you can not set your DNS server on your wifi router, you might not be able to recover your phone. Changing windows DNS settings will not help!. The setting must be done on your wifi router. Consider this your warning!
2. External storage (SD card or USB OTG for Mate 9, and USB OTG for Mate 9 Pro)
3. Bootloader code
4. Ability to install TWRP (Check the TWRP thread)
5. MOD EDIT:Link to paid service removed A way to flash firmware to Mate 9.
(NOTE: The partition table is different between versions, and MOD EDIT: Link to paid service removed is the only method I know of right now that can handle changing those. If you use another method and brick your phone, please don't blame me.)
Steps:
0. Before starting, do a full factory reset from the Settings, Advanced Settings menu.
1. Unlock your bootloader, and install TWRP. For instructions doing this, check the TWRP thread.
2. With your external storage inserted into your phone, enter TWRP by holding Volume Up key without USB cable attached to your computer.
3. Once in TWRP, go to the backup menu, and make a backup of your oeminfo partition.
4. Turn off your phone.
5. Put the SD card or USB drive into your computer, look in the TWRP folder, and find the oeminfo backup.
6. Replace the files in the backup with the same files from the download link below for the version you want to rebrand to. Keep your original files somewhere safe so you can go back if you need to.
7. Put the SD card or USB drive back into the phone, boot back into TWRP, then restore the oeminfo partition you just modified.
8. REMOVED flash the firmware that matches the model you rebranded to. REMOVED
9. After the flash has finished, boot into recovery by holding volume up key. Choose the second option to wipe data/factory restore, then choose the third option to wipe cache. Your phone will now boot.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE AFTER FLASHING (Wrong version number, no OTA update in the menu, etc.):
1. Perform a factory reset from the setting menu, then do eRecovery again.
2. Ensure that you chose a compatible firmware.
NOTE:
It is very likely you will have trouble after the first flash. You will most likely need to flash TWICE with eRecovery.
oeminfo links:
Thank you for your help.
I've done the conversion almost as you sad but I encounter some problems.
So I started from MHA-AL00C00 and wanted to have MHA-L29C432
1. I've installed TWRP and backup-ed/ restored the oeminfo from your download link.
2. After the oeminfo restore and reboot the phone was in a booting loop - I could't get into TWRP anymore- I could only go into fastboot or into eRecovery.
3. As I didn't have the posibility to get access to modify the DNS on router (I was not home) I flashed MHA-L29C432B138 using HiSuite method.
After succsfully flashed I still have the normal bugs like directly flashing the EU software - Themes do not work, wallpaper changes to default, no Update, etc...
Right now on the phones it shoes :
Model Number : MHA-L29
Build number : NRD90M test-keys
Can you give some advice how I can rebrand it so it is full functional on EU software ? Is the eRecovery the only method I should use ?
Thanks

Hello.
To clarify, do you mean that you put the phone in fastboot and used HiSuite?
If it's possible, you should use eRecovery. I know that fastboot+HiSuite will not work correctly for rebranding (it will have the side effects you mentioned) but you might be able to try booting the phone, then using HiSuite update function.
But the way which is most successful is eRecovery. This goes for flashing regular updates as well. HiSuite is more convenient, but eRecovery is more reliable.

You don't need to touch TWRP again. Just use eRecovery method, and it should work. HiSuite/fastboot is only good for recovering a previous version, not good for flashing a new version.

Use erecovery to install the correct firmware.
Is it possible to rebrand from MHA-AL00 to MHA-L29C636, or MHA-L29C900. I'm living in China, and would like to receive OTA updates, I do have a SIM card from the Philippines. Thanks
Just to confirm , if you use HiSuite you will not get OTA and themes,etc just like reflashing without changing oeminfo. If you use eRecovery everything goes as intended. I haven't try to flash the firmware with Two or other similar. I just used funkyhuawei for both methods.
I wanna rebrand a phone (Chinese to International) but the monthly payment seems to me ridiculous, once I rebrand it I don't see the need to use the service anymore, it should be a one time payment.

I've tried the eRecovery again. But gave me error msg of: Getting package info failed. And the bootloader didn't relock itself.
Hi, this is my first post here so Hello everyone!
I tried to root P9 lite using below steps:
1. Get unlock code from DC-unlocker.
2. "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXX..."
3. Phone was reset to factory default sow raw Android 7 was installed.
4. "fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-eva.img" was not working (unknown or forbidden command, don't remember exact message)
5. fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-eva.img
6. After restart with recovery mode still Marshmallow recovery was running so I assumed flash failed.
7. I tried several time put other versions (twrp-3.0.2-0-eva and twrp-3.1.0-0-eva) but if I remember well last one was again installing twrp-3.1.1-0-eva again.
8. As that didn't helped I decided to give up and restore phone to previous state so locked bootloader using SRKToolHuawei-STABLE-V1.3-20160619
9. System restarted and restored to factory default and after running I saw message informing that password is needed to unlock mass storage (or mass memory). There was no onscreen keyboard so no possibility to type anything.
10. Restarted in recovery mode (volume up + power) and tried to recover system from Marshmallow recovery option (using WiFi) but it didn't helped.
11. During next restart I accidentally hold both volume up, down with power so phone tried probably to install system from SSD, but as there was no UPDATE.APP it just stopped at 5%. I left it as it is and after some time (around 5min) phone restarted.
12. Now after restart I see only info that "Your device is booting now...". All key combinations are causing phone restart and same message.
Please advise if there is anything what I can do now.
Will appreciate any help.
After discharging the battery phone started responding properly.
With connected USB cable, volume down and power buttons fastboot&rescue mode is working.
Phone unlocked
FRP unlocked
There is still EMUI recovery in place.
So looks like recovery partition was not replaced and bootloader was not locked again.
I can't tell what is in bootloader now.
System is cleared and can't reinstall it using Marshmallow recovery as it is probably end of maintenance.
My goal is to recover system now and I don't want to root it anymore.
How should I proceed?

Hello,
it seemed that android 7 was your latest working OS.
Can you confirm it ?
If yes what was you complete firmware ?
(example: VNS-L31C432B418/VNS-L21C185B392, etc...)
note: 'EVA' stuff is for P9 variant, not P9 lite..
that's why you f***ed your phone...
Thank you Dadditz for your reply.

It was 7 installed there for sure. And this is VNZ-L21.
Probably latest possible firmware version but can't be sure about this.
Can it be somehow checked now (guess not but not losing hope )?

I took TWRP from here: twrp.me/huawei/huaweip9.html
When I look at devices list there is not P9 lite here: twrp.me/Devices/Huawei/
Which one should I use then?
P.S. sorry for no links or pictures but as new here I can't add them for now.
EDIT: I found TWRP in SRKToolHuawei-STABLE-V1.3-20160619\recovery\p9\p9.zip\twrpp9mm.img.
Guess I should load this one.

I don't think firmware can be checked now...
Firmware may depend on where you live...
If you live in Europe it can be a branded one
(ex. vodafone: VNS-L21C02B345/6) or unbranded one(VNS-L21C432B505/6).
You cannot flash one of them if you have the other one.
You have to flash an OEMinfo file...
Anyhow you may try a factory reset first and let's hope it will restore the device.
Boot your phone with vol+and power till the e-recovery appear,
do the reset and report back how it went.
P.S.: P9 lite doesn't have an OFFICIAL TWRP.
Available unofficial versions can be founded searching into P9 lite XDA threads.
P.S.2 : A LITTLE SARCASM...
When you tinker with the phone you're not cooking
a plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce.
As you can see bricks are beyond the corner... and not always they can be solved...
Generally it is always better to ask before do, specially
if you don't know what you're doing ... but ... yes,
phone is yours and you can do anything you want...

I don't have such option in Huawei eRecovery, only 3 below:
Download latest version and recovery
Reboot
Shutdown
When I used first option and connected trough WiFi I got error "Getting package info failed".
I tried that several times previous days but today this phone again surprised me.
After over 24 hours with discharged battery it became even more responsive (or maybe I just treated it different today).
Today I tried Huawei eRecovery again, it tried to download latest version trough WiFi and "Getting package info failed".
After restart I saw recovery wizard.
Went trough it and I got 7.0 working.
There was no screen keyboard but after recovering backup from HiSuite keyboard is was installed.
I'm also missing some other default android applications like file explorer, mirror, voice recorder, calc.
I'm wondering if it wasn't corrupted during my activities (eg "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-eva.img").

P.S.: P9 lite doesn't have an OFFICIAL TWRP.
Available unofficial versions can be founded searching into P9 lite XDA threads.

Would you recommend it?

P.S.2 : A LITTLE SARCASM...
When you tinker with the phone you're not cooking
a plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce.
As you can see bricks are beyond the corner... and not always they can be solved...
Generally it is always better to ask before do, specially
if you don't know what you're doing ... but ... yes,
phone is yours and you can do anything you want...

I fully agree with you.
I was searching for many instruction how to do it properly and my mistake was that I stopped fallowing them at point where I tried to installed manually TWRP.
My general conclusion is that even if system was recovered I'm not sure if everything will be ok.
I was totally surprised how my phone reacted during last days so still everything may happen.
I see also some corruption in restored system as some apps are missing.
Any advise how this could be cleaned?
Maybe I should install this system again from some trusted package like from below topic?
forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/huawei-p9-lite-firmware-compilations-t3517124
What about unlocked bootloader? Should I leave it with annoying screen during phone startup or lock again?

I don't have such option in Huawei eRecovery, only 3 below:
Download latest version and recovery
Reboot
Shutdown
When I used first option and connected trough WiFi I got error "Getting package info failed".
I tried that several times previous days but today this phone again surprised me.
After over 24 hours with discharged battery it became even more responsive (or maybe I just treated it different today).

No, this recovery isn't for nougat (android 7) version.
If you want, you can flash the one you find into HassanMirza01 TWRP thread.
Do not use 3.2.1, instead choose the 3.1.1-1 version, it's the most stable one.

Dude,
system can be fully recovered, especially now you're sure about
your latest firmware...
There was a thread with a list of stock apps, but it's been closed
because links are dead...
First thing, eliminate all safeties (fingerprints/pattern/pin)(you can add at the end of process)
You should try to reinstall your current firmware using Firmware Finder app,
download it from the big G store. Use dns/vpn method
and choose VNS-L21C22B383 FULLOTA-MF.
Also all info are inside the app. Using this method
the bootloader will be relocked.
If you wont succeed then i can tell you how to use twrp recovery
providing your stock full firmware.
Cheers

I fallowed instructions and choose first VNS-L21C22B383 FULLOTA-MF from the top (each version appear 2 times on this list).
Tried downloading trough DNS but got below message.
"Due to changes in the data exchange protocol between the Huawei server and the device, this function stopped its correct operation, but still works on older software that allows you to upgrade to one of the latest software if it has not already been done."
I tried with all FullOTA-MF versions on the list and same situation for all.
Because no other option I choose Download from last section (Other) and now I have 3 files on my phone:
update.zip
public/update_data_full_public.zip
VNS-L21_polkomtel_pl/update_full_VNS-L21_polkomtel_pl.zip
Should I install them manually?
If yes then how?
Vol+Vol-Power with those files on SD card or by TWRP?

Dude, sorry if i wrote this.
I'm pretty sure you done everything correct,
but before attempt using the TWRP it's better if you
try again using Firmware Finder this way...
1 - connect to the internet, open the app, accept the disclaimer;
2 - add your complete firmware (add model) - VNS-L21C22B383;
3 - tap on your firmware;
4 - select the one with fullota-mf;
5 - tap check firmware access;
6 - tap check availability, accept disclaimer;
7 - you should have an 'availability of firmware' popup, tap ok;
8 - go back and tap 'get update through dns';
9 - a popup 'alert' you already faced will apper, tap ok;
10 - a new popup 'select dns method' will appear, tap 'auto',
then tap run vpn service and 'accept' the new connection request popup;
11 - you should now have the running vpn service in the notification panel...;
12 - minimize Firmware Finder;
13 - open settings > tap system updater,
you should find the VNS-L21C22B383 update (check multiple times);
14 - tap on it do download and apply the update;
15 - when the download reach 5%, stop the vpn service and continue doing the process...
It's something like THIS VIDEO.
Let me know...
Hi, your directions as well as movie you provided is giving much more details than application itself.

Thank you for all your feedbacks dude.
Yep, it's clear the firmware is completely f***ed...
Tomorrow i will tell you how to use TWRP
and completely restore the device.
@JimiLincoln
You can restore the exact same rom you had on your smartphone ...
(I'm not sure, it seems it's a sort of firmware branded by vodafone)
but if I can afford, if it were you
i would install the European non-brand version (C432),
without bloatware and should also have the most updated security patch.
Is the phone single or dual sim?
Also, let me know if you want to have all stocks or
have the bootloader unlocked for future manipulations ...

I have bootloader unlocked and if future modifications will not erase phone data then we could start with minimal version.

You must use a twrp to rebrand your phone.
Download and flash the one i suggested you (3.1.1-1 by HassanMirza01)
When you done, come back for the files and the guide...
TWRP 3.1.1-1 For P9 Lite by HassanMirza01 installed.
I can enter it only by holding Power + Vol Up without USB connected.
When I hold Power + Vol Up with USB connected Huawei eRecovery is launched.
Is it normal?

Yes, normal, you have both
stock and custom recovery now...
Ok, i will post a list of file you have to download:
1 - HuRUpdater04.zip file (will do the job);
2 - L21C432OEMinfo.zip file (dual sim);
THE FIRMWARE:
3 - update.zip ;
4 - update_data_full_public.zip ;
5 - update_full_VNS-L21_hw_eu.zip ;
Let file 3 the same name, rename file 4 from
update_data_full_public TO update_data_public,
rename file 5 from update_full_VNS-L21_hw_eu TO update_all_hw.
Names must mandatory match the ones I wrote to you, otherwise it won't work.
This is the procedure:
Use your PC, make a folder and rename it L21C432B506.
Copy files 3-4-5 (renamed) and HuRUpdater04.zip file into that folder.
(if you want you can keep the TWRP copying the .img file into that folder too).
Copy the folder into the SD.
Copy the OEMinfo file wherever you want into the SD.
Put the SD into the device...
Reboot into recovery and format DATA
(wipe>advanced wipe>tick data and tap format in the bottom right> type 'yes').
Reboot again recovery and wipe everything except SD
(wipe>advanced wipe>tick everything except sd).
Go in main menu, tap install, find and select OEMinfo file, let it flash...
When finished go in main menu and select REBOOT then Bootloader.
Once booted, connect the phone to your PC and
unlock again the bootloader. (quickly disconnect it from PC)
Device should automatically reboot into the recovery otherwise you can do
holding vol + and power button.
Now tap install, find your L21C432B506 folder,
select (only) HuRUpdater04.zip file and let it flash...
Your device should reboot into the system correctly,
if not (if passes over 15 mins) reboot into the e-recovery and
do a factory reset + wipe cache.
Done !!
Hello Dadditz,
Everything installed and working fine
Only bothering thing is message that device was unlocked and can't be trusted.
I will keep this for now as it may be useful at some point.
Many thanks Dadditz for your great help!!!
I will probably come back to this topic when my wife will have new phone, so I will play more with this P9 lite, customize system and learn more.

Amazing polite guy,
i was very pleased to be able to help you, obviously, for what I know ...
It's not a big deal to have that 'annoying' message at boot.
Re-lock the bootloader is the only way to remove it.
You have more than one method:
Flash a previous version of your current firmware
and use Firmware Finder to update to the latest;
or wait untill a new version of your current firmware comes out
and use Firmware Finder to update to;
or use fastboot commands but it's seriously risky;
Keep it as is..
Cheers dude. :highfive:
help
i have a similar problem BUT i can't restart my p9 lite in recovery mode. I tried vol+ & power; vol - & power; vol +, vol - & pwer; only power. The result is always the same: "your device as been unlocked and can't be trusted....... Your device is booting now....". I try also to wait to descharge battery. After descharging, when i connect usb cable to recharge, the smartphone wake on with the same message..... Someone can help me?

Hello Dadditz,
thank you for your warm words.
I can only comment that still being polite is much easier than spending your private time on helping stranger
Also thanks for warning about locking bootloader by fastboot.
