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

If you are in stock recovery and have B132 try to put dload folder in internal memory and use software updater

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?

You have to debrand your phone...
That presume: unlock bootloader + twrp + root + (prepare in dload folder a C432 - B160/B161 firmware) + flash oeminfo C432 + repair firmware with dload folder.
It is a lot to do and somethings may goes wrong resultin in bricking your phone...
If you assume the risks, after that you have a C432 - B160/B161 phone which can be updated to B370/B371 via Firmware Finder.

Since you are here and obviously know a lot more about p9 lite than me, can you please find me a guide to do stuff that you told me to do. I know it's a lot to ask for, but I've been grinding all week trying to find guides etc and couldn't. Thanks in advance!

What you have to do i already said but you have to read arround here to do followings...
1. From anywhere you are (B336, B329, B170-160-130) you have to prepared in dload folder a B160/B161 stock firmware (B160 for Dual Sim, B161 for Single Sim).
2. Flash oeminfo/custom.bin (for SS phone or DS phone ) for your phone localisation: C150, C185, C432.
3. After that firmware become corrupted and need to be repaired from dload folder via 3 keys pressed / dialer code / emui error message.
4. Once you have a functional B160/B161 firmware install Firmware Finder (+proxy addon) and check <Use new firmware> and <Use system updater>.
5. Reconfigure WI-Fi connection from indications in Firmware Finder Proxy.
6. Search for B370/B371 firmware (B370 for DS, B371 for SS) of 1,94 Gb size for your phone localisation and send it to updater.
7. From there it is downloaded, verified and reboot to emui updater wich make his work and bring you B370/B371 firmware.
PS: - for flashing oeminfo/custom.bin i recomand this tool which make that work just fine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
- if you have a flash-able zip of oeminfo/custom.bin i recommend flashing with twrp.

[SOLVED] Hi i was on l-31c432b381 firmware with emui 5.0 and android 7.0, i have unlocked the bootloader for install magisk 12.0 and have root permissions, after months i saw an update for my phone (b389) so i tried to upgrade but i had twrp so error 1 or 7, i flashed the stock recovery, redowload the update and the install failed at 5%, so i tried to unistall magisk before update, but nothing it wont update, after few tries the upgrader says that the update now is not 300mb but is full and is 2gigs, so i think is the time.. but no. so i tried to force the update with 3 buttons recovery dload method but it doesn't work at all 5% at every try. so i searched for support and i found that the ota connot be installed on unlocked devices, so i tried to relock my bootloader with oem relock and the unlock number but it says root type is risk... so i can't even relock my bootloader.. other says that i have to install to relock or can relock... but is b381 the stock? or they instend the mm version? i don't remember what version p9 lite ships. i tried to flash imgs through fastboot but even if i flash system and boot of the b389 the system boot and the info are of the b381, unisatlling app system crash, so i restored my previous backup made through twrp recovery, i immidiatly noticed that the huawei boot animations was gone and was an android stock animation. i thinked it was fine and all was working properly, i give up o upgrade and i was fine but sad. after few hours i tried to make a paper copy with my printer that have nfc but my phone keep shows and hide nfc symbol like on off on off on off over and over even after reboot, after a call i understand that the audio doesn't was working, every type of audio not work even the mic. i don't see any other problems but without sounds is unusable as a phone or mulimedia things... sorry for bad english please HELP i tried all i founded ...

Hi, my english is bad too , B389 is an OTA update, its impossible upgrade via fstboot or via TWRP (error 7). IMO the right way to fix your problems - downgrade to MM , then back to Nougat etc. (remove pattern Lock , Fingerprint lock, root etc. before installing downgrade). It will erase all your phone data!!!
Download official rollback package for your VNS-L31C432
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and download MM firmware VNS-L31C432B161 (Single SIM)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip
1) Create a new folder dload in root directory of SD card (root directory : it means dont put it in any folder .) Now unpack the rollback package and copy its contents “UPDATE.APP” to the “dload” folder. Use the 3 button combo installation. After your firmware version should now be on “B300” or "test-keys".
2) Remove from dload folder rollback package, extract the ZIP file with MM firmware to the dload folder and use 3 combo button installation.
Or you can use this method : on your phone launch the phone dialer app and dial *#*#2846579#*#*. Next, select Project Menu – > Software upgrade – > SDcard upgrade – > and confirm the flashing process that is about to be initiated.
Good luck!

Yes, you can. Via OTA, or you can use TWRP (Meticulus 3.0.2.0 only ! ) and flash both .zip files. You must download two files:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v80474/f1/full/update.zip
and
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip.
In TWRP set Install, then select memmory SD card, and klick on
update.zip, confirm installation. After, STAY in TWRP, go back to Install, find file ...hw_eu....zip , confirm installation. Then select rebot system. Done!

Try it, but I think, you will get a message "not compatible" . Via dload its impossible, IMO use rather Huawei firmware finder or wait for OTA update.

FF works with proxy fine, but you must first download and install Firmware finder proxy apk. On Nougat use TWRP 3.1.0-2.

OMG, sorry !
Hi, I will show you the most easiest way to get oreo update (emui 8).
you must have installed twrp and unlocked bootloader.
1. Download this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3470823
2. Press 7 then 9, next 7 and 5.
3. Now download 2 files: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1276/g104/v64076/f1/full/update.zip thanks to @jithendrav83
https://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92135 <- first
4. flash it by dload method
thats all. Now update your phone by huawei built-in updater or firmware finder.
But for me the best option is unlocking bootloader again, root then flashing by this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
(method 2)
VIDEO OF EMUI 8 ON HONOR 8:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVe9gsyVxd0&feature=youtu.be
As you wrote, then the update will wait forever.
At this location you can, because. on the Russian version in the folder "cust" is your region. I recommend that you visit the Russian forum 4PDA.RU
Hi,
Would this work on Honor 8 single Sim device (I've FRD-L02)?

Yes. You can rebrand L02, L04 to L09 without any issues.

As per my guide, you only lose it if you're rebranding to AL/DL (chinese). Rebranding from L02, L04 to L09 is perfectly safe (I'm running L09C10 on my L04)
So best way to get Oreo on L04 is to rebrand with this method and redlotus to the Russian EU firmware and everything will work?
Hi,
I rebranded FRD-L02 to FRD-L19C10 and tried above steps. Installed Oreo by redlotus method. But got "data corrupted" menu and I formatted data. Now phone won't boot. Then I tried unlocking bootloader and phone booted. But sw version still shows B95 and its on Oreo. Looks like cust/region part is not flashed. Tried installing Twrp 3.2.1.0 and the one in Multi-tool, but phone won't boot to recovery. Its going into error mode. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

If you look at the XML File you used for the RedLotus method, you can see that there are two versions in it (L09C10 and L19C10). I suppose that's the reason why it's bugging for you.
Don't know for sure though. Trying that method now too, will report back if that's really the problem.
I dont have windows pc but Mac. How can I rebrand?

Why redlotus? Do it as in tutorial. Download three packages then flash by tutorial in my thread.(link is there). I meant flashing by modified Huawei recovery.

To rebrand, you need an unlock bootloader.
1. Download the C10 oeminfo file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VtOeGQ9GnKvcSVgraPP6-go6HCRbpyBB/view?usp=drivesdk. It is a zip file, extract it to find an img file. Reboot to TWRP and select Install Image and install the file to oeminfo partition.
2. Perform a complete factory reset in TWRP.
3. Download the latest Nougat (3 files package) for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Flash it using HuRupdater https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...l-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/.
4. After the flash is complete, reboot the device, unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP.
5. Download the latest Oreo build for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Using HuRupdater flash the three Oreo firmware files. Don't perform a factory reset this time.
6. Reboot your device. You're now on Oreo.

Doesn't work for me. Always results in a bootloop with "Your device is unlocked..." etc.
Same with RedLotus too. I don't know if it's the firmware you linked or the recoveries, but ehh... nah, probably gonna go back to where I was before.

Would be grateful for a working one too.

Just to be clear, since I prefer not to f this up...this will pretty much let me rebrand from FRD-L04 without the need for a computer correct? Also these step you've laid out don't require any of the steps posted in the OP?
I have found this tutorial in the comments of a tread, and it worked for me, so I decided to bring this tutorial in a new tread so everybody can easily see it:

(I also have tested Pixel experience treble (GSI), and guess what? I got in bootloop, yeah... thanks huawei for the amazing software work ...)
Will I Be Able To Install Unapproved Updates With HurUpdater?
@SuperSwordSmasher Yes you can install every stock firmwares.
@immichao - can you correct the links as they do not work

Just updated the links
About GSIs, there are special GSI for Kirin devices. And don't worry they'll be released by the OpenKirin team with support for Honor 8 shortly.

Wait On Step 3, Could Of You Just Put TWRP As "recovery.img" And Flash It And Have TWRP Still?
Does The Open Kirin 3.1.1 TWRP Work On Oreo. It Works On Nougat, But Will It Work On Oreo?

I flashed Oreo onto my FRD-L04C567 using these instructions and now my device will not connect to LTE. It stays on 3g HSPA. Do you know how to reactivate the LTE radios?
