Yes, it's the first thing I would do. Check your PMs.

Same situation here - U8800 just arrived, lovely! But the updated firmware is no longer available from the Huawei web site. Can anyone send me a PM with a link to the latest firmware please? Thanks!

it always was and still there http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDA0MDg= (use download manager cause connection is not very stable)
Katu - your PM'img stuff is killing me. Why do you don't share link but sending PMs? What are you hiding?

Thanks Tommixoft.
I notice this is B162, which (I think) is the version intended for the China market. I was expecting B136. Is there any risk involved in flashing B162 on a UK model?

Did you actually managed to download the file?
Usually, there is no risk involved, except that it looks different and some apps will be missing...Check your PMs.

Download is in progress - slooooowwwly

Sure, instructions sent via PM.

OK, so here's the plan for how to spend my Saturday morning . Comments welcome.
1. upgrade firmware to B138
2. install superboot (not sure if I need to do this...)
3. install CWM 4.0.1.5
4. (optional) install new ROM (Oxygen 2.2.1 or FLB r7)
Did I miss anything?

Superboot was designed for 2.2.1 (B136) and may not work properly with 2.2.2 (B138). You don't need it at all if you install Oxygen/CM7/FLB/Miui.

Yup, I suspected that. Thanks for the confirmation!

So i received my X5 with U8800V100R001C00B135SP01 CUSTNLD253D001
I guess the customization is for Dutch market.
Does anyone know what these customizations are?
Also, i'm looking for a newer rom, but huawei isn't very helpful.
Can anybody please sent me a link to most recent stock rom that will work
in Europe (the netherlands)?
Thanks a lot for helping.

Any European B138 Roms should be much better compared to what you have now... The customization is limited to some applications that Netherlands Operator has agreed to get for this phone...Check your PMs...

Thanks!
I'll give it a try.
Does anyone know why they removed the roms from their site?

Katu, please send me that PM.

I've try'd the b136 rom for a week now, but i've found no differences... phone still reboots at random times. Using the dataconection (3G) gives reboots often.
Guess i've received a brick from Huawei.

P8lite ALE-L21C113B130 Stock Firmware?

Hello everyone.
well as my Title says i'm looking for a firmware for my ALE-L21C113B130 running 5.0.1 with EMUI 3.1.
Long story.
i've rooted my phone (as i use to do with all my android devices)
and i got everything right got Xposed working and everything but noticed few things, like performance, and lag here and there on other hand the models of Xposed that i use are not working with this phone so wanted to get my stock firmware just with root and twrp but forgot to do a backup before doing all this, now the only way out is to get my stock firmware and install it and then upgrade to 6.0 for batter performance.
in this whole process i bricked my phone few times and was able to get it working back again. (only while trying to get back to stock tho not rooting and installing twrp or Xposed).
so please if you have the firmware or you can provide a link or any kind of help getting back to stock will be much appreciated even a way to install 6.0 or any other version.

Unable to debrand Huawei Nova

Hi everybody,
this is my first post so please forgive any "incorrect habit" might come out of this post.
My situation is the following: I bought a Huawei Nova smartphone about a week ago. It comes with Vodafone brand and the complete build model is CAN-L01C02B130CUSTC02D014.
I read lots of forum posts and blogs over the web and what I learned is that:
- L01 means single sim;
- C02 means that is branded Vodafone;
- B130 is the firmware version;
- CUSTC02D014 is the custom build with the debug version.
I want to debrand my smartphone (without unlocking or rooting it, if possible) so I downloaded FirmwareFinder and, from there, I fetched every firmware compatible with CAN-L01 following to my build model (made on 2016-09-14). Unfortunately, I was not able to install any of those firmwares (very strange).
Given the above-mentioned information, here are my questions:
1 - is it possible to debrand my smartphone without unlocking and rooting?
2 - is it really possible that every firmware made after mine (on 2016-09-14) failed to install?
3 - how can I pick a compatible firmware?
4 - someone wrote that before installing a more recent firmware, one must debrand by downgrading and then (only then) update the firmware itself. Is it true?
Thank you very much,
Valerio

Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers for more relevant answers.
Good luck

For your case you have to find a full update.app and to flash it via the tree buttons method

Ok so I need tofind a full update, but I am not able to do it on FirmwareFinder...I guess I have to wait for it a little bit...but (knowing that I have CAN-L01C02 build model) do you think I can install a CAN-L01C432 firmware when it comes out?
Thank you for your help.

I think that is better not to install it using the three button method. If you going to do it, at least have a nandroid backup, assuming you unlocked your bootloader and installed the twrp.
One other way to try, requires a unlocked bootloader too, huawei extract tool and then flash system.img and boot.img at least.
I linked the source, but Idk if it is going to work and requeries courage to do this :/
Edit: sadly, wait for the official upgrad is the most safer thing to do right now

I can tell for sure, but from the changelogs I read, it seems it is a test build or something like that. I could open it with dsixda and will try to flash as soon I unlock the bootloader but I'm waiting to get the code.

Thank you so much for the link! I think it should go flawlessly as long as it is compatible with CAN-L01 (and it actually is). The only thing that stops is that it is a test build...maybe I'll wait the official release too.

You can check with Firmware Finder which is the latest update and you can download and update it. Keep in mind that it's most likely Themes app won't work when you update through Firmware Finder and you'll need root to fix it.
If I'm not mistaken, you can also change the oeminfo to a country which already published a new update, so you'll get the update faster.
Again, check if there's a new update on Firmware Finder. If there isn't, you better wait (although you might wait for nothing if Huawei won't update anymore ).

If I'm not mistaken, you can also change the oeminfo to a country which already published a new update, so you'll get the update faster.

You could try an update.zip, but if you've got the American model, you should be able to OTA update via the system settings.
