I just got a Huawei P8lite ALE-L04 b131 (V100R001C578B131) and i can't upgrade to android lollipop 5.1
I have tried for hours to upgrade my phone the right way :
- downloading the 2 packs
- extracted them
- extracted the "kitkat to lollipop" pack into dload on a free sandisk 32gb sd card
- held volume +/- and power button
- But "Software install failed" ... I couldn't even get to the second part ...
It just seem that the b131 can't upgrade to lollipop 5.1
I'm not the only one who has this problem : Here's other people with the same problem on the Huawei web site forum :
community(.)gethuawei(.)com/devices/p8_lite/f/52/t/2713
Has anyone else gotten this problem? Does anybody know a way that I could try to upgrade to 5.1?
I really want to upgrade to 5.1, I don't want to be stuck on 4.4. My last phone (Moto g) at least had lollipop, now im regressing
Hello,
Try this guide: http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/10/update-huawei-p8-lite-ale-l04-to-b309-lollipop/
And read carefully this:
Step 1: Before you proceed you have to confirm that the device you’re holding is P8 Lite ALE-L04 and its running KitKat firmware (V100R001C00B124) with stock recovery.

I had tried this guide yesterday, and just re tried it now, and it dosen't work.
And yes it says:

Anyway my firmware is not the same as the one in the guide. Mine's V100R001C578B131. And therefore I don't think it will ever work with these files.
Maybe there are other packeages for my ALE-L04 b131 (V100R001C578B131) with 3.0 EMUI. I searched but couldn't find them; like if they just don't exist...
same issue
I have this same phone and the same problem. Been working on this all day and I will have to phone their support tomorrow. :crying:
Same build number here B131 anyone figure the issue out? thanks oh one more thing is it possible to update with a macbook?

Download firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/huawei-p8-gra-l09-b321a-marshmallow-t3352572 , unzip "dload" folder to your sd card, in phone go to settings > update > local update, and it will automaticaly start upgrading.
Few thing you should know about Marshmallow:
- B321a is latest version for GRA-09 model
- Some users reports big battery drain, the others reports big gain in battery life (like me), so its about luck i quess
- Message led notification is not working (emails and everything else is working)
- system is noticable faster and has better UI
- in case of any trouble, downgrade process is pretty difficult for newbie, so you will need to study how to do that
Cheers
Hi,
You should first upgrade to the latest lollipop, that is B200 Full upgrade, then you go to the thread about marshmallow and follow instructions there.

i will just say that this can be fixed with use of light menager, aswell as setting different colours for notifications etc.

Have you found a solution for this? I checked the net and apparently this build number is for Orange Spain.
We have the same build number, GRA-L09 C109B190, and haven't found any solution on how we can get Marshmallow update unless we try to root our device.
Please keep me posted if you found anything. Thanks!

Afraid that I haven't found anything to assist me in upgrading the P8 to MM without rooting. :crying:
I recently stubbled across a Huawei german site, but so far they haven't provide much assistance...
German site: http://www.huawei-info.de/
I use google chrome to try to translate the German language .
Hope it helps
I'm still searching
Please let me know if you found a way how to update without rooting. I'm still searching as well and haven't really found any solutions. Tried to posts to different sites but haven't got any valuable reply. I'll keep you posted, mate. Cheers!
Hi, just want to share what Majaczos answer to my inquiry.
. It seems that you have branded software from your operator. First step - clean debranding:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/huaw...a-l09-t3210658
Second step - install B370:
2.http://forum.xda-developers.com/huaw...w-6-0-t3417212
You're doing it at your own risk. Remember that B370 is still a beta, some bugs may occur.
Currently my build number is GRA-L09 C900B170
And updating my device OTA to B200 version after finishing step 1.
Hopefully, I'll get an update to Marshmallow OTA as well.
Enjoy tinkering your device

I just upgraded to 6.0 and it was simple,
All the files required were in the German site that I listed above.
Everything was done using the full update, b200 and b321a
I did it via local update and emui.
It took me approximately 1 hour after I figured everything out.
I did not have unbranded my phone.
So far all is working great. Not sure if I will get OTA after the upgrade but ohh well
Hello, i just receive my new phone with CN firmware ZTE_A2017V2.1.1B07. It come with international languages and google play installed so no OTA update available. Now, i don't want to take too many risk so i just want to be able to use my phone with nougat 7.1 and my question is can i directly install from recovery mode the B13 7.1 version or did i need 1st to install the full B09 and after OTA for B13, then reinstallation of googplay ? If i'm right every time i install a new full firmware i will have to reinstal googleplay ?

To install google play and make the phone works for your country, the seller must had messing around with your phone.
So before make any risk, you should unlock bootloader, then you can flash recovery and install A2017U or A2017G (depend on where you live). It have google service pre-install, english without chinese craps.
That could be my next step but i'm not really confident doing this right now (newbee). My concern is will my 2/3/4G work well with a A2017G on a CN phone, no modem or band problem ? Of coure that would be more simple because after i will be able to do all updates with OTA. Anybody can confirm that going from A2017 to A2017G work 100% ? Is there a guide A2017 (CN) to A2017G ? I see a lot of good informations here on xda but i don't want to brick my new phone . So if someone can provide me a step by step or a link with the full procedure that will help me a lot.

I myself run A2016U on chinese model. Work fabulous (wifi, cellurar, mobile network) - as long as you flash right modem.
My phone is already unlock bootloader when seller gives it to me, and I do plenty things (even run into EDL only, but not dead still, chinese model rule!!).
Yes the key point is the modem ... I'm too newbee to make the sorcer apprentice ... I really need some help to do that right.

Okay I also ordered the same phone (A2017 China version) from AliExpress and the seller installed Google play and international language support. My phone came with B07 (same as yours).
Now read this really carefully, your phone is not stock, to install Google play and language support the seller messes around with the phone at the system level, so the phone will not receive OTA updates and will not flash OTA update files, the Chinese recovery is also useless. Any attempt to forcefully update the device will soft brick your phone.
You can keep running the B07 ROM but of you want to update you will have to unlock bootloader, root and install TWRP on your phone.
I have created a rar file with all the files you need to root and unlock bootlader:
https://ufile.io/980b3
Follow the instructions here:
Follow the instructions here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/newbies-guide-to-unlocking-rooting-axon-t3496234
Remember to run the backup program "axon7backup.exe" to backup your recovery and boot before rooting.
Also update twrp using fastboot once you have unlocked the bootloader.
After installing the latest twrp you can update to the latest nougat chinese build using this:

Thanks Vurio, doing like you said bring me to A2017 B13 Nougat 7.1 in chinese version right ? Is that preferable and more easier to do this than trying to go on A2017G ? I'm in Switzerland and the phone work great 2G/4G so i don't really need to be on G version. Just one more newbee question, every time i put a new firmware i will need to reinstall all my apps and of course Googplay ?
If I flash the u or g version on this phone. Are the LTE bands 20 unlocked like one the g version?
I have the Chinese version. All i done when i got it was flashed the full Chinese firmware and installed Google services and apps. I've been getting the ota updates and am now on 7.1.1. Which came ota Sunday. I did not need to root or anything.
I'm in uk.

Thanks for your reply Alom5, difference with your situation is that they allready put googleplay and international language before sending the phone to me... I would love to be in your situation but it same that it's not the case ...

Everytime you flash a new ROM, you need to wipe data, so yes you need to reinstall Google play and all your apps. But if you are rooted you can use titanium backup and that makes restoring apps really easy and quick.
About the firmware, axon 7 has 3 versions, Chinese, European and american. Each one comes with its own set of 4g bands and that cannot be changed no matter what you flash.
The Chinese and the american versions are most compatible with each other. You can use the American rom on the Chinese version but the changes will be aesthetic only. You will get rid of all the annoying Chinese text and apps and your phone will look and feel more "global". The modem of the phone will still remain Chinese so the bands won't change.
Ok so titanium is a must because we will have some new firmware this year ...
I'm not a newbie on computer thing but Android .... I discover it on my shield tv 2 monthes before ... I'm not scared to try but it's the fact to try and not to be sure 100% that work.
Your solution same to be the one but i see now that some (other) chinese seller propose A2017 CN version with A2017G installed ... How they do that ? Did they also flash the modem ?
I repeat i dont really need A2017G but i want to apply the most optimal option for my situation and when you don't really know what you do, it's not easy ... Also when you just pay some $$ to a brand new phone ...

The modem will not work. The modem will only work for the particular device. The seller on AliExpress never have the best reputation.
I am guessing that they would flash the European ROM but leave the modem Chinese. This is possible but European compatibility is not the best with Chinese version.
The american on the other hand has the best compatibility and even received updates faster. For eg. American version is on 7.1.1 whereas the European version is on 7.0.
And I completely agree with your sentiments on your new phone. One should always be careful and have complete information before messing around with a phone.
Also titanium backup only works on rooted phones. Titanium and adaway are the only reason that the first thing I do when I get a new phone is root it ??

I bought mine from aliexpress. They done the same thing and put a note saying you shouldn't do anything... Or something to that effect. Trust me, your in exactly the same situation. There's a few threads on here from a few months ago. All you need to do is flash the stock firmware. Flag the Google apps and update them and away you go. Check the threads, I'm out so ain't got time to look but i think they were in the general section. Definately easy as pie. I've not had to write my phone since. Have had a couple of ota updates and no problems

Did you flash the official firmware without rooting and installing TWRP?
Yes. I have never rooted the phone or installed any other recovery. Just flashed the firmware by having it on the internal sd card and update software.
Please read through the thread where this is discussed in detail and works easy before you start.
I followed info from that thread and it went fine.

Ok alom5 you got my attention now. I'm really not in hurry f you can give me the thread (when you have some time) tomorow or later. This phone is so great, i will take my time to make the right think. Just to be clear you receive OTA after flashing ? So i need to flash the stock A2017 B07 ( i presume), then reinstall "properly" googplay and after i will receive all news OTA update ? Sound great ... Could be the easiest way for me ... When you flash back to stock and restart can you choice the language or are you only in chinese ?
I'm searching in the forum and if i see right i can directly flash the B13 version for SD ? http://www.zte.com.cn/china/sitecor...rt/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78 I'm downloading right now ... 9 hours remaining ...

Hello.
I have a German unbranded device.
Since I did not want to wait for Samsung I installed the update myself by getting the already released version they seed in Italy since a few days.
Almost the same. Lte and German Sim card working, everything like if is supposed to. I think installing the Italian update is not a problem.
Works like a charm. Much faster then before. Some screens are following. I can recommend it to everyone that doesn't want to longer. St least for me there's is no problem.

Is your device a T715 or T715Y? Does it even make any difference? I have a T715Y (imported from China, I think) and have downloaded the Nougat ROM (which is noted as being for T715 (but not specifically fore the T715Y) from Sammobile and tried installing it using Odin 3.12 but it fails. I also tried using Odin 3.11 which also fails. Both ran as Administrator.
Current ROM Build Number is T715YDXU2BPJ1
Can anyone give me some idea of where I might be going wrong?

I think you need a rom for your device (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T715Y/).
For me the update with the italian version worked great and I now have a german-austrian-italian S2 :laugh:
I have sm t 715 without y. Differences between the both devices I don't know but I'd suggest you wait until the proper firmware is release for your device. As far as I see there is no android 7 rolled out four your device.
Any ETA on Android 7.0 for the real SM-T715Y? Does anybody know anything?
I got the SM-T710 XSA Nougat update some time ago now. But I bought the 4G version off Gumtree and it is still stuck with 6.0.1 which means the lowlife carriers are probably halting the updates.
It is disgusting. With carrierless Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Samsung waits for the carriers in XSA region to start to release their crapware, before they release the official Samsung firmware. I do not know if this occurs in other regions.
FYI, the SM-T715Y is the real Tab S2. The SM-T715 has very few firmware regions and was probably made for dodgy countries with outdated cell towers. Look them up on sammobile.com/firmwares
Thanks people!
Hi,
I've loved the colour screen changes but since my EPD is messed up from the 6.0 update, I havent used it at all.
I would go back to 5.x but I didnt like how hot it got with that so my best bet is to go back to 4.4
Problem now is that yotadevices' ftp is down so yotaflasher doesnt work.
Does someone have the latest 4.4.x rom so I can flash it through twrp?
Seems like Yota is cleaning the slate for Yotaphone 3. As for the firmware, download it from below and decompress it in the 'firmware' folder where the Yota Flasher is installed. Follow the instructions of the installer.
Here you go:
Yotaphone 2 Kitkat 4.4.3 HK
is this same software as in yd206 from gearbest

I can't say about that, though it's the official HK release from Yotaphone site ftp.fw.ydevices.com when it was online.
I am trying to find the 4.4.4 firmware version but I can't. Maybe it s because what you say that yotaphone are erasing the old files for the new model.Can any one help me with a link for the 4.4.4 firmware? I have a YD206 version, but I am no sure if its important.
Thanks

Kitkat remained briefly on my phone, so I did not update to 4.4.4. I hope someone might still have this lying around.
I just searched a torrent options and I found a 36GB ONE, which has dozens of firmwares for every flavor (HK, CN, RU, EUR,...), and no one has the 4.4.4. If some one have a link of the image and can upload to somewhere I would be gratefull
My firm is from HK. Why is everybody moving to the RU? It's because tis (I think) the most attented one? And the last questions.... When you move to a RU version it appears in an easy way to change it to english language?
Many thanks
Try this page
Many thanks glasseffects, but there aren't any 4.4.4 furmware version there, in any world region. It seems it just desapeared from internet
That seems to be the case. I haven't encountered it either, though 4.4.3 wasn't bad either in contrast to Lollipop, which was catastrophic.
