Help with oeminfo and custombin

Hello
I was trying to change my huawei mate 8 to a c432 to get faster updates as mine is with a pretty old version.
I used SRK Tool to unlock the bootloader and root and then i choose to change the oeminfo and custombin to the one for c432. then i reboot,
But now my phone does not boot into android, its just stuck on twrp.
i havent flashed anything and i do have my backup of oeminfo and custombin.
Any way i can recover it to boot again into android?
Thanks

What was you original firmware?

thanks factory reset did the trick for me as well.
Now I will try to follow that video to see if i can succesfully change to c432.
Thanks a lot

hi i followed the tutorial and i changed the buildprop to NextL00C432B011 and did the dload update for L09.
i ended up with L29 under the update screen? My phone was originally an L09 (single sim).
Will i have any issues running L29?

I don't think so as long as all the networks are working fine.

Awesome, since i have full signal and wifi/3g is working fine i think im ok, cool.
One last thing i dload B180, the phone OTA to b192, I thought it wil be updated to b320 (emui 4.1) but it didnt.
do you guys think this b320 fw was pulled from huawei? the official dowload link for the file is not working from the FW thread here on xda.

Yes b320 never came to international version,and wasn't that good when I tried it.
Anyway nougat is coming soon with emui 5.

Oh i see, ok i will wait for the Ota of EMUI 5.0
thanks

Install firmware finder and adjust setting to view last firmware
If it can't find nougat update , you can unlock bootloader and update via twrp method

I found the b563 fw but when i tried to update it it stopped at 1 % and the phone rebooted. What can cause the problem ?

Keep checking! Older firmwares have some small optimization to be done. So these guys r releasing slowly

On the firmware finder app, disable OTA, and you'll see that the ones that say FULL/OTA will disappear,
and the only FULL that shows up are the older (EMUI 4x) ones. At least that's what happens on
mine. L29C185B321

I just manage to update to b563 by first flash b211 using the dload method, and then i could update to b563 with firmware finder . Thanks for the help everybody !

Back from C900 to C150. How?

Hello,
I try to upgrade from c150b123 to c150b160 but obviously I failed. I flash C150, so I dont know where was the problem...
I read that is void my warranty. Is that a true?
What can I do to resolve this problem?
Sorry for my English!

I think you can use Huawei RollBack package using 3 buttons method and then flash c150b160 using the same method.
The rollback package and firmware image can be found on huawei site. Use google.

There is just Asia version of Rollback. I need to flash that?

As far as i know the region of the rollback package doesn't matter. I'm on c432 and used this
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93800&siteCode=pl
Be careful with the firmware image to be the right one (c150)

Thanks for helping! I didn't mention that I have L31 version. Or I can flash that for L21?

No, don't flash l21. The model matters. Download from huawei website rollback pckage for l31. The model does matter.
Forgot to ask you. You're on stock recovery ?

Yes, everything is stock. And b160 is Marshmallow, not Nougat.
b12x has many bugs and I just want to fix them , because my carrier didn't release update from september...

Oh yes sorry my bad. Then you don't need the rollback package. In this case the best option is to use firmware finder to update a full ota via system update.

I use firmware finder and got this problem although I check hundred times to use correct upgrade zip. I am scared to repeat update procedure because I don't want to brick my phone... :/
I guess I will have to take a risk.

You have to get the full ota update (with mf and pv in update name).

C02B124 to C02B123

That would not be a problem at all but why would you want to do that? The B123 needs to update to B124 or B125 to update to android 7 ...

Because I'm not sure if B124 will receive Android 7, so I thought to come back to B123 and update to B125

Hello,
Better debrand to C432, you will find a bunch of guides and also a bunch of ROMs.

Sure you will get it , I have B123 and i received a update for B125 but i am waiting because my boodloader is unlocked and is rooted and stuf .. I already have the package for android 7 on my phone but not installed yet .. If you.can get the download package C02B329 you should be to directly update your B124 to B329(android 7).. The most important thing is the C02 , thats the vodaphone brand .. If you would install something else and you don't know what you are doing you will **** up your phone .. My advise is, look online for the package VNS-L31C02B329 its around 2,1 gig and install that on your B124

https://www.google.be/amp/s/www.gizrom.com/amp/nougat-on-huawei-p9-lite-vns-l21-vns-l31/ take a look at this website , they explain it very good and you can download there what you need

I tried to update to B329 but installation failed due to incompatibility with my current version

I tried to install firmware B329 or even B123 but I get an error saying software install failed
incompatibility wityh current version. Please download the correct update package

[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...

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
