Stuck on B171!? Can't upgrade to MM, help, please!

Hello mates!
I have a problem with my L-21 Huawei P8 Lite. Some time ago, I have bricked my phone and I had to restore it. Don't know how, but I installed B171 update (this is a single sim fw I think) on a dual sim phone!
How I can update to MM? What firmware I have to flash first?
ALE-L21C432B171 is the version number - Sat Jun 20
Thanks a lot!

flash C432B551, it's official marshmallow for the single sim variant

How to upgrade from balongc52b311 (Android 6 Single SIM) to Android 6 Dual SIM

Hi. I have new phone Huawei P8lite from T-mobile and I have version of FW balongc52b311 at now. This version is only SingleSIM. I need DualSim.
I tried to do downgraid (fail after 5%) Instal directly Android 6 to dual SIM (fail after 5%). In Update section I do not have update from local storage. I have to reboot with using all 3 buttons.
Please has someone manual for it. Which version I have to update at first? I do not want to damage bootloader (loop problem)
At now I have unlocked bootloader. And phone is ok.
Thanks Peter

it's a bug, you can't upgrade due to that bug... you have to fix it.

first of all,you need to unlock bootloader,and then flash by fastboot this firmware:
Ale-L21C432B052
https://mega.nz/#!jdFiyJpR!X2fmOZ-ShY-Kx-9lwnSUN16Vo52_aU0i4K1KmdBW64Q
when is done,reboot phone,now flash this firmware by fastboot:
Ale-L21C432B132 http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/09/download-huawei-p8-lite-b132-firmware-dual-sim/ (download and extract,you will find a folder dload,now use huawei update extractor to extract this files:boot,cust,recovery and system)
Now you need to make local update with this firmware
https://mega.nz/#!XAlCSLqQ!EhBUXcrvbt1pluokN4uGZeIs9RsMwKwa6J0g1i8oGjM
At the end your phone will end up with build number Ale-L21C432B170,now open HiCare app from phone,update to last version,and then HiCare app will tale you there is an update to Ale-L21C432B574

Proxy method?

Better let someone else handle the updating, seeing as you're don't like reading too much.

Dude, don't be salty because getdroidtips isn't clear.
I managed to update btw, close this topic

Dude use Firmware Finder app and dns/vpn method
to try to force the upgrade ( try to use B361 FULL OTA-MF PV first ).
If all will take right direction, then use same method to update to
B502 (dual sim) or B503 (single sim) FULL OTA-MF version.
See the attachtments and good luck.
Cheers

Dear,
huawei never planned to forward oreo official upgrade to p9 lite ( 2016 aka venus model ) users,
so do not waste your time looking for this, it simply doesn't exists...
B502 ( dual sim ) / B503 ( single sim ) are latest Nougat firmware.
Cheers

Firmware Finder is down bro, definitively. You can try to upgrade using dload method. Download Service ROM for dual SIM
and flash it, instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder. This process will erase all your data (and lock the bootloader again) !
I hope you have Dual SIM variant. If not, let me know.

ALE-UL00 with other roms

Hi,
My brother bought a P8 Lite from Aliexpress but he received the ALE-AL00 version.
All updates have been made.
But there are always Chinese characters in the interface and the internet search returns only Chinese, no Gapps either.
Is it possible to install a European version of the roms on the UL00?
Can you help me do it?
Thank you.
Regards,

I'll sugested you something more radical than RootingPro-18
Flash ALE-L21C432B052 Dual Sim Transition, but this require some steps before, you can find this well detailed in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/huawei-p8-lite-unlock-bootloader-t3490856
Attention, do it at your own risk.

Thanks but are you sure i can flash my ALE-UL00 with ALE-L21xxxx roms ??
My ALE-UL00 is dual sim and bootloader is unlock
What is MM in "if you have MM already" ?
I need download ALE-L21C432B618 or ALE-L21C432B170 ?
Thanks a lot
