I recently bought my P8 Lite (ALE-21) and the OTA upgrade from ALE-L21C432B133 to ALE-L21C432B171 fails to install but crashes at 4% every time. HiSuite's update function just tells me that my B133 firmware is already the latest version.
I read that someone with the same problem solved it by downloading the update from www dot carbontesla dot com/2015/11/huawei-p8-lite-b171-android-5-0-lollipop-firmware/ and doing a local update.
However the link clearly specifies that the upgrade is for the single SIM version of the P8 and I think I might have the dual SIM version. How can I know which version I have?
Is it in any ways dangerous to install a single SIM upgrade to a dual SIM phone - will it work, will it just fail to install or is there a risk of bricking my phone?
I hope you are able to help me get the B171 upgrade working - I need those bug fixes and the possibility of doing further upgrades in the future.
It will not update if not the same version.
You have ALE-L21C432B133, this is for single sim; you can wait for MM or download the correct full firmware update from huawei and do a local update, this should be the correct B171: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=67404&version=236427&siteCode=cz
Hello mates!
I have a problem with my L-21 Huawei P8 Lite. Some time ago, I have bricked my phone and I had to restore it. Don't know how, but I installed B171 update (this is a single sim fw I think) on a dual sim phone!
How I can update to MM? What firmware I have to flash first?
ALE-L21C432B171 is the version number - Sat Jun 20
Thanks a lot!
flash C432B551, it's official marshmallow for the single sim variant

Thanks! It worked!
I have flashed several custom roms to my L01A 4GB Single sim and flashed the stock B183 stock rom and locked my bootloader. Why is it that I did not receive the OTA updates from the built in updater for B197, B199 and B203? I had to use FF to get these three updates. Have I broken my built in OTA? Do I know have to rely on FF? Anyone who can help, thanks
Hello everyone,
My phone is stuck on C530B130 and i was wondering if i needed to update to B370 before updating to B385 ?
Also since i can't update and am still under warranty, do you think huawei will help me with updating my phone ?
Thanks
I hope Huawei service will help or give you information about the upgrade to nougat.
In any case, B370 should be for dual sim, B385 for single sim.
So if you decide to do it yourself keep this information in mind ...
P.S .: Huawei has closed the site for the bootloader unlock code, so the official upgrade should be better ..
All the best
Thanks a lot for your response. I would have tried to install b385 because Firmware finder said my device is compatible. The problem is that b370 is no longer online on huawei website. Also, when trying to find update, my phone say it is up to date. I emailed them but i don't expect a response before the end of my warrarty :/

Hello,
all firmwares that end with even numbers are for dual sim,
those that end with odd numbers are for single sims.
(example: VNS-L31C432B160 = DUAL SIM; B161 = SINGLE SIM)
Use Firmware Finder to try to force the update/upgrade.
Re-update first to B160 then to B370 FULL OTA-MF-PV
and finally to B416 FULL OTA-MF that is august 2018 latest security patch.
If something goes wrong dude do not point your finger at me,
what i wrote is based on my own experience, i'm not a developer...
Good luck
Cheers
thanks for your reply
now im on b160. checking b370 on firmware finder and clicking "check availability" it says is not approved for installation
is this going to fail? or i need something else after b160

I used the PC version of Firmware Finder
and found the firmwares i suggested...
Aren't them present on app version ?

ill download the files manually on pc. whats the best way to try and upgrade on phone?
Update: managed to finish it. you were right about the 370..my mistake i didnt saw it in app there were two 370 with different dates, which one was not working. i noticed it from your screenshot and rechecked and found it. then updated to 416 and all done
thanks for your help
