Hi everyone my device is huawei p9 lite L31 and I installed the unofficial update, after that I found out some apps are missing and the TWRP aswell so I can't flash nothing.
I would like someone to tell me which TWRP I can install and how please.
Thank you!
TWRP for Nougat doesn't support mounting of the /data partition at the moment, so there is nothing you can do about it. You should have flashed the update + data in the first place. All you can do now is unlock the bootloader, flash the oeminfo for your device and downgrade via the 3 buttons method. Next time, in TWRP for MM (which does support /data mounting), you will flash update + data for Nougat which I still can't understand nobody does.

Btw when I wanted to update I flashed both files and I think that the update wasn't complete with all files and system apps already.
Something went wrong, then. You should be able to find oeminfos in some thread here on XDA, otherwise google is your friend. Just be careful what you flash because you MUST flash the correct one for your device and locale

Use the same unlock code you've used before, get it again.
And why are you using that build B300, you could have at leasT tried B336, which in my opinion isn't having any problems noticeable, battery drain also good...people complain about this, but if you know what you're doing this will never be an issue.

Thanks for the response, I'll try tomorrow, i've already forgotten and deleted the code. Actually, it's all misunderstanding on why i flashed this build lol. I am planning to revert to MM stock and i'm still looking for some guide on how to. I tried other methods and didn't get luck. If you have any ideas would you mind helping me again? Thanks!

Yeah I've already seen this and i'm not sure on what to download, i tried once but it says
"software install failed!"
"Incompatibility with the current version.
Please download the correct update package."
and i can't still unlock my bootloader, the website is new, and it won't redirect me to unlocking SITE from this thread LINK.
also just wondering, in this method, is it require to unlock the bootloader ? thank you so much for helping me.

This method don't require unlocked bootloader, don't require TWRP.
Just get the rollback file and full MM update file.
Install rollback first then MM file after, put the extracted update.app files In the dload folder on root of sdcard, one by one after each install
Or
If you don't want to use rollback file, unlock bootloader, then flash patched oeminfo file via:
1.fastboot using this command: fastboot flash oeminfo xxx (xxx= name of oemifo zip you have, ie. fastboot flash oeminfo C432oeminfoDual.zip)
Or
2.while In fastboot flash revolution nougat recovery, then boot into it by "vol up + power" then flash the patched oeminfo,
Then once flashed OEMINFO then install via 3 buttons mode the update.app of your firmware, this must be in dload folder on sdcard as above.if asked for password then use "reset"

Edit title to solved.
The current TWRP by Revolution for nougat can't mount /data partition, and if you need flash anything there, you've got to change filesystem as advised In the tutorials, but you can flash mods or apps to system partition without problems....this problem is In nougat TWRP only currently, MM TWRP has no issues at all...anyways good to hear your sorted!

Hi!
A while ago i managed to install medrom v3 on my phone. It worked well except for the play store. I read that this is caused by a version mismatch and i could be solved by flashing certain .img files.
Life happened and i didn't use the p9 lite for a while.
At the moment i got a phone with a unlocked bootloader and i want to go full stock with a locked bootloader.
I tried several things, like rollback files, 3 button method with a update.app and so on and i keep getting the : Software Install Failed error, indicating that the versions are mismatching.
It's a EU dual sim phone and the previous version before i medrommed it was stock: VNS-L31C432B130
And hints and guidelines on what to do ?
Thanks in advance!

Simo, thanks for your reply. I checked again and it was MEDRomV2 (your work ) not V3. Sorry the misinformation.
before reading your post i flashed 161 on it through 3-button. It said software install has failed, but MEDROM dissappeared, seems to be 'stock' atm. Playstore doesn't work and bootloader is still locked tho ?
Could you give me some guidelines on (which) oeminfo (and how) to flash ? And can i revert to unrooted/(re)locked bootloader/stock rom if i follow the instruction you gave me in the quoted post?
sorry for the late reply i don't have much time lately I appreciate your effort and time.

How's the camera on Medrom v2?
Hi friends,
I managed to solve my issue.
somehow i went from Medrom to Nougat 'test-keys'. From there i installed Revolution recovery, fixed the file system format to fat and back to ext4, then i installed the beta 336 Nougat, then i Rolled back to MM B160 and from there on i did the OTA to 370 and 380.
I am running a full stock (locked bootloader) L31C432B380 Rom now. Thanks for all the input.
How do I go back to stock rom? I'm currently using Rei's LineageOS 14.1 of CodeOfHonor, with Meticulus' TWRP installed.
My original version is VNS-L31C636 Dual Sim. I have tried searching in the forum to no avail. All the instructions I've found are either too unclear or lacks more details. I don't want the risk of bricking my phone right now. I'm familiar with the dload method but I'm not sure enough of what files to flash etc.
I need your help, good sirs. Thank you.

Flash oeminfo L31C636 (install it from TWRP)
https://mega.nz/#!ZgFniLrC!S7eMwyApeaMLacEg2p_SIKxq5LuJQt6M5yQNm3kOMHE
Reboot to recovery and flash FullOTA-MF firmware Android 6 for your phone via dload. GL!
P.S.: in TWRP go to wipe - advanced , and check data format , it must be ext4, if you have f2fs, change it to ext4.

Firmware Finder
Is there any other way for going back to stock? I have a limited data plan and it would cost me so much data for downloading Marshmallow firmware and then OTA updating to Nougat.

Hello,
Search for the Huawei Recovery Updater thread,
download the .zip and your rom.
The guide is within the thread.
Pay attention and choose the correct rom, they are three files (FULL OTA - MF)
If you have any doubts about the rom let me know.
Neither the developers of HuRU nor I will take any responsibility
for what you do with your device.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply! but I have to download all three files (and what's the difference between the three)?
Then it's better if you install a previous version and then update or can I directly download the latest (of stock roms)?
I tried to download the B389 . I put the files in a folder in the SD (renaming them as they should) but after flashing i need to restore my phone. i try by twrp but it gives me an error "Failed to mount '/data (invalid argument)", Unable to mount storage

Well dude here i am.
Let's have to say and apologize for this....
before any attempt of flashing you should have done a full nandroid backup
and also know how to go back to stock. Maybe it's not your case.
So, i suggest you a method but you never wrote the firmware you had before
installing EliteRom.
The difference between the roms are ( obviously ) security patches and various fix, etc..,
as well as different versions for single and dual sim.
I wish ask you two questions:
What was the latest stock firmware your device was on and
are your DATA filesystem EXT4 ? (check into the TWRP )
HERE i wrote how i managed to install stock firmware and correctly relocked
the bootloader. ( depend what you want to do )

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.)
