Upgrade to 5.1 beta?

Hello Everyone, I have ALE-L21 and my current firmware is C185B130 (apparently C185 is UAE region but i live in pakistan). Device is bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed.
I have a TWRP backup of current rom. I wanna try the 5.1 beta released for Europe but it says here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/beta-firmware-p8-lite-ale-l21-c432b008-t3243228 ) that i need C432B132 to upgrade to this. So I downloaded this firmware(C432B132) from Huawei website. There were two folders in it, dload and CUSTOM(not sure what that for). I extracted system.img, recovery.img, CUST.img, boot.img from UPDATE.APP given in the dload folder. So here is what i'm thinking.
1) Flashing the extracted system.img, recovery.img, CUST.img, boot.img would get me to C432B132?
2) After i install B132 can I upgrade to 5.1 using EMUI local update?
3) If something goes wrong, can I just flash TWRP and restore the backup?
-
Or this whole idea is foolish and i would screw up my phone after flashing system, cust and boot of some other firmware designed for some other region???

No this is wrong
1. You need to downgrade to B052
2. Install B136a
3. Install B008(Android 5.1.1)
After each install is recommended to make wipe

Thanks

I dont think that you need to go all the way to B052 and then flash the required version
This is what i did:
1) Flashed 132 cust, recovery, boot, system. My build number changed to something like balong ( I dont remember exactly :silly: ).
2) I flashed the UPDATE.APP file that was in the CUSTOM folder (that came with B132 rar file) via EMUI and it restored my build to B132.
3) Tried updating to 5.1 via EMUI but failed.
4) To give it a last try, I downloaded and flashed my phone with CUST, recovery, system, boot.img of B136a and then the update worked. My phone is now 5.1.1 B006
Thanks for the reply mate :good:

Confirmation ?

yeah its working fine. I think the battery life has improved a little bit or maybe it is just because i haven't installed much apps after flashing this rom compared to when I was using the B130. The only thing i miss from B130 is that small 2g, 3g written on the signal bars. This one only shows the 2g or 3g network type when the mobile data is turned on. Huawei cloud is also not present in it so you may wanna backup your contacts and stuff

Give It a try. If i doesn't work then you can just flash 132->136 and then apply update. But there maybe some problem with the version number changing to "BALONG". I faced this problem when I flashed 132 over my 130 but then I applied UPDATE.APP file(the small file in the custom folder) via EMUI Updater and it fixed the version number. But the 136a rom did not had any UPDATE.APP in custom folder so I dont know what to do if you get a version number problem. You can try flashing the 5.1 update via EMUI and maybe it will fix the version number problem (if it happened in the first place) or you can always goto 132->136 and apply 5.1

yes you need to unlock the boot loader. What exactly do you mean by double tap issue? are you talking about the double tap to wake feature not working sometimes? Yes the DoubletapToWake dont works sometime which can be very annoying so I just disabled that feature and using the power button ever since. As for the typing issue, No I'm not facing any typing issues, never did on the B130 and not on this 5.1 version. Try using someother keyboard app?

From stock recovery wipe data factory reset and wipe cache(this will delete all data from phone,so make a backup before),putt phone in fastboot/rescue mod an flash again b132,reboot phone,now use this vendor (extract and rename folder to dload,copy to memory phone and make local update),when is done,use this ota update (extract,and putt update.zip in folder dload and make local update),now your phone should have build number Ale-L21C432B170,and for android 6.0 just make a local update with this

Update from B161 to Nougat - Once again

Hi Guys.
Maybe somebody can help here:
I am on B161 and get the OTA Update for B371 - but only the 2.5GB version! And with this update, bluetooth and many more things don't work.
What can I do to Upgrade to nougat? Which Version should I use? How to upgrade correctly?
I don't get the full B371 Upgrade option in the system. And when i Install the B371 Image from Firmware Finder (VNS-L31C432B371 FullOTA-MF-PV) its not working either...
PLEASE help, Nougat has a much better Ram Usage und battery life then MM on my P9 Lite 2GB Variant.....
Thanks!

Better wait.
Nougat has battery drain.

I was on B371 before but had the issue with bluetooth not working etc. Then i did the rollback package and afterwards went back to B161 - so i suppose its not really stock?
I'm just thinking - now i am on B161 and B371 Update is visible for me - but only the 2.5GB variant - and i don't want to update and have the same issues and again do the rollback and loose all my data?
Also i don't really now what it means exactly to be on "Stock" rom - because i think B161 is the actual Stock rom for now?
EDIT: Also i See i have the Firmware VNS-L31 but my Model is actually VNS-L21 so thats weird too.

Stock phone means unaltered phone (firmware official, bootloader lock, stock recovery etc)
If you have VNS-L31 firmware on VNS-L21 phone is not ok... So your phone is altered...

First of all you have to bring your phone on stock condition (VNS-L21C432B131).
After that you have to apply a B161 official update.
And from there, with Firmware Finder you go to B371.

lol ok i did the rollback with the rollback package which obviously only changes the oeminfo to VNS-L31C900B300 (as mentioned in another post to rollback from Nougat to MM)
Now when I try to Install the B131 Package with dload method it says the firmware doesnt fit. The build is not correct for this device
EDIT: i try now to install it via Firmware Finder, lets see if theres better luck with that - Or should I ? The update has only 1,5GB - that confuses me Allthough i selected the FULL OTA

Man I tried Tried to do the upgrade via dload method - doesnt work. I tried to install B131 via Firmware Finder - didnt work he cant do it - while verifying the update package switches a few times from 0 to 1 % and after some times he says the package is corrupt.
Can I go just higher than B371 to get everything working again?
Or flash back to B131 with some TWRP or something like that?
Or maybe try to flash the B371 with firmware finder again? That version where it says FullOTA-MF-PV (whatever PV means)

If i was you, i do following:
- first, i make sure if my phone is VNS-L21 (very important!)
- put in dload folder on microsdcard, update.app from B161 firmware: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66051/f1/full/update.zip
- flash via twrp oeminfo from this link: https://mega.nz/#!Egl01ZpJ!g1K9xV2yZ4oyoBKxFMOWgghTTUzqLUBoBeXkUboCi-A
- start phone with 3 keys combination and let firmware to repair itself.

Nope, oeminfo must be flashed via twrp or via some tools (for that is need root).
In that oeminfo file is stock oeminfo for installing VNS-L21C432B161 firmware.

Now I've installed just the UPDATED.app by using the dload method, this worked but I'm facing the issue of not having bluetooth work. I've tried several update files but the result is either that it flashes and it doesnt work correctly still, or it doesnt flash at all. I've only ever flashed the updated.app from the update.zip, but I haven't touched anything else, including the update_data_full_public.zip or update_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu. Is there a way to use the dload method of some sort to freshly install the firmware correctly? Right now I'm sitting on region C432 and B371. Any help is appreciated!

Use rollback package, go back to A6, flash via dload C432B161 (A6 firmware for your phone), factory reset, and try update to Nougat via OTA or via Firmware finder.
You can't flash Nougat FW via dload.

I've looked for the B161 one, I have found one although it doesn't really work as it says "incompatible versions" in the dload method, am I doing something wrong or am I forgetting something? I'm using the one from this website https://www.gizrom.com/b161-emui-4-1-huawei-p9-lite-android-6-0/

Strange, if your phone is dual SIM, B371 is wrong FW, it's for single SIM, okay, if you have dual, download rollback package for L-31:
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and VNS-L31C432B160:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66034/f1/full/update.zip
Now unpack rollback package, and paste update.app in the dload folder on SD card and flash using three button combo.
Remove rollback from dload folder, unpack B160 and paste update.app in dload, and flash (button combo). Factory reset and voila! you are on Marsmallow .

I just did them, I think I was missing the rollback package. Bluetooth does work, as everything else. I think there should be an option to update, however I'm not sure which version I should find on the huawei firmware finder. The normal Updater doesn't seem to have an update (yet, I'm not sure if it'll pop up either). Any idea which is the most recent one that I can try? As I thought b371 was good but apparantly its single sim Thank you!

If you are now on B160, and can't update to Nougat via OTA (dont forget insert SIM card into phone), use Firmware finder, and send to update this FW: VNS-L31C432B370 FullOTA-MF-PV. "PV" is very important! No.: 80460 . And check firmware accses for your phone with IMEI.

I think I found that one, why was the PV important? Does it contain stuff that I was missing? I've also checked it with the firmware access, it seems it's working with the updater. It's still downloading, but I think it'll work. In any case thank you!

It did work, there is another update waiting though, is it safe to update to the 380 version?

I flashed lineage os by copying the .img file into the fastboot folder and then 'fastboot flash system <.img file>
Do you want me to repeat the same process with stock system .img

You updated to Oreo, correct. Of course you did.
The update.zip has inside (extract it) update.app. use heawei update extractor to extract that file. You will get the system.img there. That one will be the correct one for your model and build number.
If yo I updated from regular ota, you may not have this zip file
If this the case you. Will need to download it. From pro-teammt.ru
Link if you need it.

Downgrading to Nougat is not recommended, because EMUI 8 is Treble supported.
That means it has dozens of new partitions and partition lengths. Many people have screwed their phone trying to downgrade.
Unless you have foolproof method of downgrading and correct 'downgrade firmware' (yes, it's different, cause it will re-write all the partitions again), Don't do it.

I have a similar problem and I cannot get back to stock from the RR oero
I used the method to upgrade from 5.1 to oero 8.0 here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/
Then used the Openkirin RR install method using stock recovery. - all goin good but RR has to many crashes.
I have tried to roll back to Stock using the same HWOTA method putting the update files int HWOTA 8 folder, all looks good in twrp and I wipe Cache and Dalvik but it still reboots into RR
I've noticed in Twrp in red letters it says cannot find partition /system
Rebooting into recovery after using to install TWRP it first boots into stock recovery then when i press factory reset it will boot into TWRP.

I have installed Lineage OS Treble GSI via fastboot and may want to return to STOCK EMUI 8.0 in the future but I have a chromebook and can't use the Huawei Update Extractor Tool(Windows app).
Would you be willing to download the "update.zip", extract and post the "system.img" extracted from the "update.app"?
I need the "system.img" for Huawei Mate SE BND-L34C STOCK OREO 8.0
I searched XDA and GOOGLE for the STOCK Mate SE system.img but unable to find.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED, THANKS IN ADVANCE.
