Huawei P8 (vodafone) - Flash newest software will debrand? - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I've been looking around and currently i got a vodafone rom (gra-L09C02B194). i have found a topic on xda to debrand but i'm not sure if that one is still up to date.
Can someone give me a list of steps to debrand my P8? and do i need an unlocked bootlloader for this? (i suppose this won't be needed as i don't root + it's official software)
Thank you in advance!

Which firmware?

Just got a P8 Lite delivered from Carphone Warehouse UK. Its an unbranded unlocked model.
It states model number - ALE-L21 and the build number is - ALE-L21C432B133
I assume its an older version but there is no OTA available for it. Not sure if this is the dual sim EU version or not. Which version should I use to update? Any reason why no OTA or is it because its on an older version and it's missed it?
Thanks in advance.
ALE-L21C432B133 It's Europe single sim, latest update is B171 or B183.
Use anything you want to update, just follow the correct procedure (on XDA u can find it all)
Thanks I will have a search around.
Don't see why the latest is not available via OTA though? Even with HiSuite it says latest is installed (B133)

You need the branded one from vosdafone to update, or follow a guide to debrand then use the one you like.

Can't help as thought the phone was rubbish after just 4 hours of use so sold it already and got a 2015 Moto G instead.

firmware update.

hello everyone. my phone is huawei p8 lite (ALE-L21C30B121)
so, for example, china releases android 6.0 beta, I see alot of posts about it, with steps, guides and all...
but I was wondering, if I want to install that ROM (android 6.0) can I install it directly from B121 to B5xx?
if not, how do I upgrade/downgrade from B121 to Bxxx, so I can make the B5xx update?
another question was - is it restricted to regions? I mean the "C30" it stands for Latvia, as I live in europe, and I have an europian P8 lite.
if yes, how can I change the "C30" to "C432" or other region, that has the official update?
hopefully I get an answer
early thanks!

CO2 - vodafone branding
C432- generic (non-branded)
after some reading on XDA it's seams that 432 will become 900, I have first to "unbranded", change from 02 (vodafone) to unbranded 432
I found a tutorial on XDA but only in spanish, does it exist in english ?
thanks
Vns-l31c02b123
Hello and thanx will it also work for the VNS-L31C02B123 verion .. I have been looking everywhere .. My phone is rooted and unlocked .. Thank you
Hello,
I know this thread is a little old but I have some follow up questions since I'll trying to achieve the same (also have L31C002B125 and would like to upgrade without bricking, if possible).
Where is that Spanish guide you found to unbrand your phone (Spanish is fine by me) from 02 to 432?
I've found several treads that talk about jumping to 161 but with a procedure that doesn't inspire much confidence for me. Something requiring preparing a dload folder with B161, flashing oeminfo/custom.bin for my location (that still is C02 and cannot find any file with that) then realizing the firmware is corrupted (what??) and letting it repair using the dload files via 3keys/dialer code (wich one?)... etc etc. as you see not very noob friendly.
At this moment I have already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery... Can't I do the usual flash with latest rom as with other phones? To afraid to try. Please help.
First, you need change oeminfo. Flash oemiffo from c432 and other step -flash firmware c432b160 ( dual sim) 161 ( single sim).
Very easy make this is via twrp. Flash zip with vendor and firmware.

hi first post please do replay thanks

Hi I am new to this so please do bare with my lack of knowledge
first things first I never had been in the P9 Lite Beta I brought the phone and I have never installed any roms or so on
my question is it seems my phone is branded to the Germany Telekom
that's where I brought it makes sense my question is I can not go away from the
firmware or can I go from there firmware to another firmware like the one you can download from there main site that is unbranded
why do I think my phone is branded is because I have tried the Update.app from the 27.03.17 I do the dial code and it restarts it starts goes to 7 percent and it cuts out
failed to install reboot phone and it goes back into the 6.0 Marshmallow
I am wandering how other people are able to install the B170/B171 update I know my Phone Model is (Huawei P9 VNS-L11) but the Phone Model is Huawei P9 LITE Vns-L31 ???
how are people in Europe to install the phone prove its the final code an not the beta since I am not able to update an may people are saying its finished and it being rolled in OTA
what do I have to do to remove the Telekom software and install a stock rom without it being locked preventing me from installing the update to 7.0 please replay thanks you and enjoy the weekend

Update from can-l01c02b102 to l01c432b396

I want to upgrade the phone to Nougat, but I'm finding all kinds of information that people have bricked their phones. What I have now is can-l01c02b102 and I want to upgrade it to l01c432b396. I'm a little troubled about the meaning of c02 and c432 numbers from the firmware version. Does anyone know what they mean and does anyone know if the upgrade through those numbers would pose any risks of bricking?
Thanks
It seems that if I flash c432 over c02 I will get a cross branded phone with themes not working (Cxxx is the branding of the phone...). So, I'll need an oem info backup for C432. Can anyone share a backup of the oem info for the C432 image please?
Thanks.
Found the firmware for c02 (vodafone branded) with huawei ff. Latest is b365 on c02, but I heard that this has some problems and the previous b350-b351 worked without a glich... Can someone confirm this?
I've managed to update the phone to nougat b352. To share my experience with the whole proces, guys use the huawei ff from the google store, it was the only app with the help of which I managed to upgrade this phone... Very tricky to upgrade if you're not being offered official ota...
