Thanks guys. :good:

And battery life sucks. 25% gone over night
I'm using it on my P8 for 3 days and the battery life is very good. I'm getting screen on time between 4 and 5 hours. Don't use official Facebook app because it's slowing it down too much and drains the battery very quickly.
Use this guide

Hello everyone! I have a P8 with build number of GRA-L09C368B184. I want to know if it is possible to update it to Marshmallow or at least 5.1.1? If so, would you mind helping me out? Thanks in advance.
It is possible, but 5.1.1 and 6.0 are betas for P8, and may cause some problems.

I see. Thanks. Have you tried it yourself?
I had 6.0, most annouin issues:
- battery drain (I had to charge after 8 hours, earlier it was ~15 hours)
- little laggy during browersing internet (scrolling)
- no root
After one day I wanted back to stabe 5.0, but downgrade isn't so simple (now there is a rollback package to downgrade).
Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Huawei P8 Lite, it came with Lollipop 5.0.1. The thing is I would like to update to 5.1 at least. For all the reasons we all know about, this is kind of a must. However my operator hasn't send me the OTA package nor could I found one in any Huawei website. So I mailed them about this a few days ago, and got no answer yet.
So anyone here went through the same/has a stock 5.1 rom for this model? I have also read that some people swapped to ALE-21 for the updates and stuff, but I dont wanna mess with the baseband, since those post are not always properly detailed about this stuff.
Any comment, info, post, link, whatever on this topic will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You can find more info here. if you don't want to upgrade to Ale-L21 just use this as a guide (Chapter 4) but with your own stock rom file that you download from the huawei website.

So i looked up the problem that you had with converting. and i put a comparison in the thread. thx for pointing out something we didn't mention before
you can find the comparison here http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=7978&id2=8162&id3=7966
the Ali-L21 supports more basebands the the ale l23 so that's all.
Seems like my only choice is to force an ale-21 single sim rom into my phone and try not to screw it in the process.. I dont understand why Huawei wont release a 5.1 update for .23 even if its the same as .21
Thank you a lot, I will follow the steps mentioned above and try some luck

Today i got an email from Huawei saying that there won't be official Nougat update because they have done some testing and this is better for our device but they will continue improving the current available version of Android.
Nougat p8
this thing does not make sense because it should update the mate's p8 is not because they have the same hardware
my mobile build number was vns-L31 and when i downgraded it from nougat to marshmallow the build number became vns-c185b150 and the model number became Hi 6250 instied of p9 lite as before .. and the mobile is so so slow now and so strange and i downloaded so many software but it's not the right software and technical support couldn't help me
i need help guys please

I downgraded from Nougat to MM too (and about to to it again this weekend) and this didn't happened to me.
Hello everyone, I am a new user, I am in possession of a huawei P8 GRA-L09C02B405 EMUI 4.0.3 Android 6.0. Unfortunately some apps are no longer compatible with my device, I should at least update to android 7.0, but I can't unlock the bootloader. As you know huawei no longer releases the codes to unlock the device, I don't know how to do it, I would appreciate if you could kindly help me. I would be sorry to give up the device because it is a great phone, I have been in possession of it for quite a few years and it has never given me problems.
Thanks for the help you can give me. Good things everyone.

Apparently there is no more enthusiasm for the P8 to release that unlock code or program. I have the same problem here, the P8 cannot be opened here either.
