(I'm new to this) So, I bought a P8Lite, and I have no problems with it, but it comes with Android 5.1. I'm in Greece and everywhere in this forum and elsewhere people seem to have at least Android 6, EMUI 4.x and hoping for Nougat.
I have not gotten any Marshmallow update, and on Huawei's official firmware site, checking for the ALE-L21, the closest thing to Marshmallow is a rollback package to Android 5.
What should I do?
Thanks
what is your build number? Since you're on Greece, you must have ALE-L21c432bxxx. If the value of xxx equals to 170 or 188 then you are eligible to get Marshmallow update. If, by any chance you're not getting it and you're already above b170 then i request you to follow this link

Yeah
It's been a while, but yeah, I downloaded b170 from the site and tried local update with its update.app. I get "Software install failed". What should I do? Should I try flashing b560 or something? The mega thread says I should have b170 and above (204 > 170)
(Late) UPDATE for anyone that might stumble upon this: Just local update with B560 and OTA to the latest

you can't install MM from a certain LP builds.
for example B186 doesen't get MM
I'll make it easier for u.
unlock your bootloader, download the MM latest firmware (update.app)
extract the system.img, boot.img, cust.img, and recovery.img.
flash it via fastboot (i.e "fastboot flash system system.img e.t.c)
and DONE! your p8 lite has MM

UPDATE: I did local update with B560 directly, then OTA B574, running Marshamallow. Thanks people!
Hey guys. I want to root my phone and I'm really confused.
I have the EU version, my build number is A2017GV1.0.0B04.
I've read some guides on how to root your phone and they all say that in order to unlock my bootloader I have to download this B18 to B20 update so it works. I got really confused as I have B04... I then realized that all the guides I read were about the US version of the Axon 7.
So my main question is, how do I root the A2017G? Should I download the B18->B20 (I'm guessing no)?
Thanks in advance! :good:

Perhaps you misread my question. I have the B04 and I'm wondering how I can update it to B20 in order to root it if all I find are B18->B20 downloads. I'm asking, can I install the B18->B20 on my B04? And if not, is there a B04->B20 download?

I would say flash b18 then flash the b18-20
Or to could follow tenfar or tennars method to flash twrp recovery 3.0.2.2 and then flash drajebs bootloader unlock zip

No, this is a stock B08 marshmellow.
Marshmallow or Nougat? U or G?
Hi, I feel stock is fluid when compared to LOS. I am not satisfied with music and camera with LOS. I would like to switch back to Stock. Please help below.
1. What are the things needed.
2. does stock ROM works on Universal Bootloader and Modem for Android N?
3. Can I flash A2017U Updates on A2017 when using A2017 Boot and Modem.
Note:- I have successfully used A2017U rom on A2017 earlier.

Yeah yeah, i have found.
Curious to know does stock works on los modem and bootloader. This one i couldn't find.
could you please provide a link with the proper instructions?
this forum with alle the different variants is so confusing ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484
As part of the flash process, you will flash the 'BootStack'. This includes modem and bootloader.
As far as I know, A2017U software is compatible with A2017, but the 'BootStack' is not. Flash the appropriate 'BootStack' for your device.
I installed A2017 on my A2017U for curiosities sake and had no problems. I don't see why you couldn't do the reverse.
Feel free to post any further questions.

It is related to A2017G but no A2017.
The most recent information I see seems to indicate that B13 is the latest, but a mention of further OTAs is made, which may or may not be B16.
B16 Information: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/update-chinese-axon-7-a2017-b16-nougat-t3608262
Here are B10 BootStacks for the A2017. I would use them for now and get newer ones from OTAs or when they otherwise become available.
You have my apologies for posting the wrong link. I'm really low on sleep at the moment and I spent most of my day driving before replying. Kind of running on auto-pilot, lol.

No Problem and thanks for your help. But the link ( B10 Bootstack), there are no mirrors for that and i am checking from past two days.
I see what you mean.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon-7-chinese-stock-roms-t3436817 seems to be the best resource I can find to d/l the stock firmware for the A2017. This should contain the bootstacks. I'm downloading now with 10 minutes left. Several users requested the bootstacks from the thread I linked you to and have yet to receive any response.

I am also downloading full rom but people say to flash boot stack and rom seperately :S
If you're already on N, you could try flashing https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017-nougat-twrp-flashable-djkuz-t3571714
Worst-case, the device doesn't boot, and you can reboot to TWRP and reinstall LOS. Note the verity ZIP, which prevents the stock ROM from reinstalling the stock recovery on the first boot.
I do have the download and it does seem to contain the bootstacks. Let me know what you want to do.

I'm stuck with TWRP! Every version I try can't read any partition inside the phone..
As a result of that, I can't flash nor backup the oeminfo or any other partition!
I successfully just rebranded a VKY-L09 single sim to a VKY-L29 dual sim but this VKY-AL00 is giving me a hard time!
Hs anyone managed to find the correct TWRP?

EDIT:
I asked to the funky huawei guys and they gave me a test twrp which is able to read and mount the partition! nice guys really!

I used it to Flash Blackball's Custom ROM. So while I have not rebranded with it, I am pretty sure the TWRP will work.

VKY-AL00 rebrand final solution
After spending 10+ hours trying to get this phone to an european model, I kinda gave up. The main reason for the rebrand was because the newsfeed was in chinese and there is no play store, so you can hardly get your normal apps.
So I finally decided to go with openkirin (.net).
- Reflash your stock recovery and do a clean install(maybe through your stock recovery) of the latest stock version of your system.
- Then follow the guide on openkirin.
I used the omnirom 3.1 beta. Works great, the guide only took 30 min tops. Everything seems to work fine and you have direct access to an english newsfeed and the playstore.
I followed every guide on rebranding, but got nothing to work. This gives your phone a clean android system so it is at least fully usable.
Good luck
