Instructions here
1. Make sure your phone is plugged in...
2. Open this folder: OS C: / Users / Your name / AppData / Local / Temp
3. Your user profile’s temporary folder will open. Keep it opened, as we’re going to need to copy a file from this location in a little while.
4. Launch Kies and wait for the phone to connect.
5. You’ll see an offer to upgrade firmware of your phone – click on the firmware upgrade button. If no Upgrade click on Tool's / Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation or Firmware Upgrade setting's.
6. A few windows will pop up with questions about backup, etc – answer the questions, making sure to do a backup, and let it proceed. A window will pop up saying “preparing files”, and then a window will pop up again, showing the download progress.
7 Pay attention to the download progress. When it reaches 100%, your phone will enter “Downloading Mode” and begin flashing. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP AS SOON AS THE FLASH STARTS.
8. During the flash procedure, go to your Temporary folder and refresh its contents. You will see a file called tmpXXXX.tmp (the XXXX’s will be random numbers). This .tmp file is the encrypted ROM archive – ignore it, and look for a new folder created with a similar name (or else sort by date and find the newest folder), and open that instead. Inside you will see a .tmp / .zip file. Right-click on that file, choose copy and paste it to desktop Don’t try to move the file (using “cut”, or dragging the icon to your desktop) – just copy & paste.
9. Your phone should complete the flash successfully.
You need to copy the firmware file from your temporary folder within the period that your phone is being flashed, as it gets deleted immediately after flashing is complete. I would estimate that you have around 2 – 3 minutes to complete step 8. so you just need to be paying attention when the flash begins.
I'll be doing this tomorrow.

I've tried countless scenarios and i keep getting 2 problems. The First is:
When im in R&D Test Tool and run Normal Upgrade test and "Upgrade Start". I cannot select a language to select it's blank.
After i proceed i get the following problem " i get stuck on 49% and it starts all over again" it wont pass that state
I've tried both of these methods and ran all files as Admin

This is a Development section not a Q&A section. There's another section for this.
It worked for me, it might work for you. Do it at your own risk.
Windows Device Recovery Tool (WDRT) will download and install only the latest version of the software available for your device.
This tutorial will show you how to use WDRT to install ANY firmware version you want on your windows phone device.
That is, you can upgrade or downgrade. For example, go from wp 10 to wp 8.0, or from wp 8.1 to wp 8.0, or whatever you want.
Here is how to use Windows Device Recovery Tool to install any firmware released for your model:
I try to ilustrate the process in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnLQ_u4kF7E
STEPS:
0) Download the firmware you want to install (only the .ffu file)
1) Let WDRT downloads the last firmware version for your model (that's what it does). When the download is completed, close the program before the installation starts. You don't have to have the last firmware version installed on your phone, but you have to have it on the WDRT folder.
2) Go to the location where WDRT stores the files: c:/programdata/microsoft/packages/products/
3) Duplicate the folder "RM-xxx" (your model) containing the files WDRT downloaded. You'll have two folders with the same content, like "RM-xxx" and "ARM-xxx", for example.
4) Go back to the place where the .ffu file you want to install is and copy it.
5) Enter the "ARM-xxx" folder and paste the .ffu file.
5) Now you have two .ffu files in "ARM-xxx" folder. Copy the name of the original .ffu file that was already there before you paste the other .ffu file and delete it (the original one).
6) Rename the .ffu file you've just pasted with the name you just copied.
5) Open WDRT, select your phone, and click install/reinstall. After the program checks the compatibility of the files, the message "switching the phone to flashing mode" will apear, as soon as it happens, go back to the "Products" folder and rename the folder "RM-xxx" to something else, like "RM-xxxA, and rename the folder "ARM-xxx" to "RM-xxx". This has to be done quickly, before the installation starts.
6) If everything is OK, the installation will start and you'll have your firmware installed.
With this method i finally got my lumia 620 working again, after the touch screen stopped working due to an accidentally upgrade. I couldn't use any other method because both my lumia volume buttons are broken, so the flashing process needed to be automatic.
If you have rm-1073 att lumia 640 it will not work because of the cid checks within the flashing. Otherwise any other one should work fine
cannot pass the checks
Hi guys, so I am relatively new to customising your phone and was wondering if someone could explain whether it is possible to upgrade from my current version (GRA-L09V100R001C900B118), as when I use the phone to check for any updates it says there are none available.
I have read that I need to upgrade first to B200 and then can upgrade to Marshmallow, is this correct?
Cheers!
Yes, it should be possible to manually update.
If your phone is network-branded, you'll need to debrand first, so carefully follow the steps in this thread: Clean debranding P8 (GRA-L09). Then follow the steps below from B200 onwards.
-------------------------
If your phone is not network-branded, follow this guide instead:
Ensure you phone has at least 50% battery power remaining. A separate microSD card (formatted to FAT32 with at least 4Gb capacity) & PC/laptop/similar system is also preferred. Plus, if necessary, do a thorough prior backup of your texts, messages, photos, music, etc as applicable (if unsure, backup anyway).
First you need to install B170 (Lollipop, EU version) - direct full download from here to your computer: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=49884&version=118243
From the above downloaded file, extract the 'dload' folder (contains a single, large file called UPDATE.APP - leave as it is), connect phone to computer with the USB charging cable & copy this dload folder to your inserted microSD card (you may need to enable 'Developer options' & 'USB debugging' to be able to do this - follow this guide if necessary). Once completely copied over, disconnect phone from your computer, then select: Settings > Update > Local update. Once the updating process starts, do not interrupt or shut-off or manually reboot the phone.
After the above is completed, & your phone automatically reboots, verify it has been installed by visiting Settings > About phone > Build number.
Reconnect phone & delete the UPDATE.APP file from the SDcard/dload folder, but let the empty dload folder itself remain.
Next download & install B200 (Lollipop, EU version) - direct full download: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=68483&version=238533
After extracting, copy the UPDATE.APP file only to the phone's SDcard/dload folder. Then repeat ALL the steps above from disconnecting the phone to letting the empty dload folder itself remain.
After installing B200, you could be offered a Marshmallow update (B382/B390 or above) directly via OTA - in other words, check via Settings > Update > Check for updates.
If not, download & manually install B397 (Marshmallow, EU version) (main thread for reference here).
Direct full download: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v85383/f1/full/update.zip
After extracting & copying the UPDATE.APP file only to the phone's SDcard/dload folder & disconnecting the phone, using the phone's dialler, type *#*#2846579#*#* to access the Project Menu., then select 4. Software Upgrade > 1. SDCard Upgrade
Once complete, your P8 GRA-L09 should now have the very latest European Marshmallow firmware version. All future updates need to be done with the 'dialler' method as mentioned in the last update procedure. Remember to delete/replace the previous UPDATE.APP file with its newer version each time & disconnect the phone before running the update procedure. Also, only download & use the 'full' update files (not the smaller OTA ones).
HwOTA for Huawei P9 Lite1. On the phone, make a backup of all data (since during the upgrade all data will be erased). This is an obligatory condition.
2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"
