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

Many thanks for your guide! I will apply your advices and will report the result.
Also, I would like to ask something that makes me worry a little, why the Nandroid restore has not restored everything exactly as before?

At this point, what B132 I have to flash? I have this: ALE-L21 C432B132 Europe channel Dual but inside is the update.app (in dload folder). I presume that you mean a zip file, maybe a OTA?

You must extract from update.app using huawei update extractor and extract files:boot,recovery,cust and systems then flash by using fastboot commands

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

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:

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?

I have c185b130, there is c185b131 update on consumer.huawei.com for UAE region uploaded on 31-12-2015, will it work on my device? What are the changes in c185b130 and c185b131?

EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0.1 KIW-L21 C185 (Middle East Version)

Warning : I am not responsable for any bricked devices, dead sd cards, or other issues, I just wanted to share this, because I know, there are many Honor 5x KIW-L21 C185 users, and this, in my case, worked.
Warning :
***This will turn your device into a single sim phone.***
This WILL CHANGE your CUST version to 432.
Because I couldn't wait anymore for the official MM update from Huawei. I managed to install EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0.1 on my KIW-L21 C185, Middle East Version following this steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67851428&postcount=2 .
1. You need to install TWRP, obviously . http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19454
2. Download mm-update from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19446 and extract files, you should be seeing 2 image files : TZ.img and MODEM.img .
3. Download and install Huawei Update Extractor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 .
4. In my case, I downloaded this firmware here http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=84663&version=327467 .
5. Now, using the Huawei Update Extractor, open the downloaded firmware and extract BOOT.img , CUST.img , SYSTEM.img on your computer.
6. Reboot phone in recovery mode and make a full TWRP backup.
7.Wipe data/factory reset and then wipe system, Data, Cache, Cust, Dalvik/Art Cache.
8. Install, and in the bottom of the screen, choose install image as following:
I. BOOT.img install to Boot.
II. CUST.img install to cust_image.
III. SYSTEM.img install to system_image.
IV. TZ.img install to tz_image.
V. MODEM.img install to modem_image.
9. After installing all of the above files, just reboot and there it is.
Untill now, I haven't found any bugs or issues, except that in the 'About Phone' panel at Model Number it doesn't say anymore KIW-L21 , but says 'MSM8916 for arm64'.

I'm not sure, I would try going back to stock rom first , as I not know how would it affect flashing over CM. Try to revert to stock first , than do update,than flash CM again.

You have to put it on the sd card in dload folder than hold volume - , volume + and power , and the rest does it by itself..also, after , make sure you update to b140 , as it will ask for it after you configure the phone.

Download this https://mega.nz/#!Q0YQmIQD!KSwQvGymMUf-YA4A5oDFBvg12UwQlPDm5dIOdTDsEjc
You should be seeing either an archive either the update.app file, wich is the stock b130 rom.
Now, copy the update.app on the sd card into a folder called dload ( If you don't see it, just create it ).
Power off the phone, then press at the same time volume +, volume - and power and it should install the stock b130 rom. Next just do the update to b140 through the updater and reinstall twrp and try again .
If while updating you encounter any errors , try reinstalling stock recovery first.

Problem downgrading to MM from N

Hey guys!
I've installed the Nougat beta for my P9 Lite VNS-L21 Dual Sim, but now I want to downgrade to MM. This is what I did:
0. Installed Nougat via Melticulus TWRP
1. Installed Revolution Recovery (because Melticulus TWRP had stopped working, idk why)
2. Flashed OEMInfo
3. Copied Version B150/B151 (I've tried both) to the SDCard
4. Started the P9 Lite with Power + Volume UP + Volume DOWN and tried to flash one of the versions.
I'm stuck here, the Huawei Recovery says the following: "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package!"
I've used HTC Mania, Thread NR 1200630 to download the stock rom for my P9 Lite, I've tried both the VNS-L21C432B151 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa and the VNS-L21C432B150 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa

I've installed the MM beta for my P9 Lite VNS-L21 Dual Sim, but now I want to downgrade to MM. This is what I did:
0. Installed MM via Melticulus TWRP
1. Installed Revolution Recovery because Melticulus TWRP had stopped working (idk why)
2. Flashed OEMInfo
3. Copied B150/B151 (I've tried both) to the SDCard
4. Started the P9 Lite with Power + Volume UP + Volume DOWN
I'm stuck here, the Huawei Recovery says the following: "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package!"
I've used HTC Mania, Thread NR 1200630 to download the stock rom for my P9 Lite, I've tried both the VNS-L21C432B151 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa and the VNS-L21C432B150 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa

Hi, since i'm not confident with adb/fastboot commands, i'm asking help for restoring the original firmware and recovery in my MLA-L11.
I've downloaded the two files from Firmware Finder (i'm sure 100% they are the right one) but i don't know how to proceed. Anyone can help there? Thank you

Hey!
You have to go back to EMUI 4.1 by restoring a TWRP backup and then you will update to EMUI 5. Ive used the following process on my CAN-L11 and worked fine. It should work on all models. @virusdunil has followed the same process on his MLA-L03 and everything went fine.
Let me know if you experience some trouble during this process.
Go back to EMUI 4.1 (MM)
1) Download this TWRP backup of MM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73003510&postcount=60.
2) You can put the backup to internal memory or sdcard, After you've chose where you wanna put it, take a backup of boot.img with TWRP to internal/sdcard (where you wanna put the backup), so you'll get a folder with this structure: TWRP > BACKUPS > FPFDU16A20001907 (you'll have different number I guess). Then you'll put the twrp backup folder (which you have downloaded) in that folder with numbers
3) Boot in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache from twrp > wipe > advanced and then you restore the backup from TWRP > restore (restore only system + data + boot). Then you reboot and you're good to go.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now update to EMUI 5 (N)
After youve downloaded the stock firmware using Firmware Finder, you should have two files:
- update.zip
- update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip (example)
Backup your internal memory as it will be wiped at step 8).
1) Extract update.zip. Then you get UPDATE.APP.
2) Download Huawei Update Extractor.
3) Open Huawei Update Extractor, choose UPDATE.APP from the folder where youve extracted it. Right click RECOVERY.img and extract it.
4) Now boot your phone in fastboot mode by pressing and holding the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
5) Type in terminal / command prompt on PC to flash the stock recovery which youve extracted at step 3):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
6) Reboot.
7) Put update.APP in a folder called dload on your sdcard.
8) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade. Now EMUI 5 will be installed, bootloader gets relocked and internal memory gets wiped. Now wait about 5 mins (maximum 10 mins). If the phone isnt booting within that time, then boot the phone in stock recovery by pressing and holding power and volume up buttons and choose "Wipe data / factory reset" and then "Wipe cache partition". After you reboot, the phone should boot. Skip the setup wizard.
9) Remove update.APP from dload folder from your sdcard and extract the other zip (example update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip) and put all the files/folders extracted in dload folder.
10) Dial *#*#2846579#*#* and choose Sofware Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade.
11) You are done.

Hi robert, i succesfully downgraded to MM and restored (i guess) stock recovery. But when I try to upgrade to nougat via sdcard upgrade the phone can't find the update.zip file.
Maybe the problem is my phone believe he is a CAN instead of a MLA, and don't recognize a MLA update.zip file?
If that is the case, you need to use the firmware extractor and "fastboot flash system system.img" to get your build.prop back. That would get your device to recognize as what it is.

I found the issue, I had to unzip the update.zip tp UPDATE.app file in dload folder. The phone got bootloop at first flash, but wiping all solved the problem. Now i'm back to stock with proper build number, thanks @wangdang and @#Henkate for your support :victory:

Hey!
I've got your PM, but I see that meanwhile you've posted here and you made a new thread too... You don't have to make so many posts, a post or a thread is enough to get the attention of someone.
In your case, the phone model is MLA-L11 and C185/C432 is the build number as far as I remember. You can check the build number in Settings > About phone. I don't know if there's any other way to check, if you're on other build number now and you don't know which one was yours.

Steps #9 and #10 do not work for me ("Software install failed"). But I wonder if they are necessary after all, because Product Id, IMEI, Build-number (and of course EMUI-Version and Android-Version) are stock again.
And isn't "update_full_CAN-L01_hw_eu.zip" supposed to be included in the "update.zip"-file? I thougt "update.zip" allready delivers every part of the ROM.

If you have TWRP on board, download two files from link, copy it to the SD card. Reboot in TWRP, flash first file update.zip , go back to the TWRP main menu and flash second file hw_eu.zip . Reboot system and do factory reset from Stock recovery .

I automatically wrote 'recovery2', but in this case it doesn't matter, the new FW will overwrite TWRP.
I apologize for the unnecessary complication .
(Why recovery2 ? eRecovery is basically useless on this phone. It's useful flash TWRP over it by having stock recovery as 'recovery' and TWRP as 'eRecovery' (recovery2).
Among other things, you can have access to official OTA updates yet still being able to do everything you could do with TWRP etc. etc.
It makes things easier
How to boot it:
reboot your phone, as soon as the "yellow warning" appears on the screen, hold down the Volume Up for 3 seconds, phone will boot in TWRP.)
