P9Lite -> "test-keys" - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi,
i have a P9Lite European version debranded and my last rom was VNS-L31C432B161.
I have uploaded after this an other rom and now I have the Nougat with version NRD90M test-keys.
Is this version "genuine"?
If not, how can I fix it or downgrade to the right rom? (Better if Nougat!)
Thank you for your help.

I have been in the same situation. I have done a restore of my TWRP backup, after that i have done a c432b182 install, after that via OTA i installed the c432b378, and after that i installed the c432b383.
You could do this with the 3 button method, or with the caller (*#*#2846579#*#*).
I hope i helped you a little bit

I have followed this instructions and everything works now perfect!!
Stechguide.com for the downgrade
The HiCare app has automatically detected the new rom for the update and now I have:
VNS-L31C432B370

Still stuck on software version B133

Hi Guys
I want to install Marshmallow on my Huawei P8 Lite (Single Sim). I need to have B171 installed to update.
However, I am still stuck on B133. When I try to get an update over the air, it says that I already have the latest software installed. First, I tried to do this with the updater. Then, I used HiSuite. They both give the same message: no update available.
Next, I tried to update manually, by using the update that I found via xdadevelopers (http : // www . carbontesla . com/2015/11/huawei-p8-lite-b171-android-5-0-lollipop-firmware/) but it fails to update after 15%.
Finally, I tried all of the above after a factory reset, but nothing worked.
Is there something else I can do?
Thanks in advance!
Look at your phone settings, then about the phone and look at the build number and model number, what values do you have there?

Build number: ALE-L21C432B133
Model Number: ALE-L21
You don't have the balong bug error. So try reverting to build B052, then you can maybe updated to B188
Instructions on how to downgrade you can find here
Step 2 you don't need to do and Step 3 and 4 you can do OTA with the huawei updater.
Follow instructions mentioned in below topic , then you will be on latest android 6.0

Thank you for your answers.
All right folks!
If you encounter this problem as well on your device, do what Olrak and ettenleurtje have told in this thread. Downgrade to B052, then do an OTA upgrade to B170, followed by an OTA upgrade to B188. Then you have the latest OTA update, so you might decide to stop here. However, if you really want the Marshmallow Beta version, do the latest step in their guides as well.
Thank you both for helping me.

How to update from VNS-L21C900B170 to Nougat

Hi there!
I have the P9 Lite (VNS-L21, Single Sim)
Out of the box, it came with branded ROM Version VNS-L21C150B130
I've successfully updated to VNS-L21C432B170 (with dload method) but that changed the version to VNS-L21C900B170.
I don't have any problems with that, the phone runs flawlessly, but i can't update to Nougat.
How can i update to Nougat and what's the suitable version?
Any Help?
Meanwhile, i've unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, i've flashed oeminfo's form C432, tried a few Nougat Roms but none successful.
(All fail while verification)
Finaly I've rolled back to C432B160 and then updated to C432B170.
From "Software Update" I got notification for updating to C432B370 (1,24GB) but the result is "ND90M Test-Keys".
What am i doing wrong?

So i have to re-unlock the bootloader and install twrp to flash Nougat from scratch.
The problem is that i'm on C432B170 and i get a notification for updating OTA to C432B370 which is 1,24GB and gave me test keys... How can i flash the "hw_data" after the OTA update?
Any answers?

VNS-L31C432B130 Firmware Android 7

Hi,
I have a rooted P9 Lite(2016) with Dual SIM and want to Update to Android 7.
But I can't update OTA because it's a rooted device.
My model: VNS-L31C432B130
I think i have 2 options: First is to unroot and update it OTA and than again root, because it's very important to root for me.
Second option is to download and install it manually.
But i don't know which firmware i have to choose. Only thing i know is that my device is VNS-L31 version.
There is so many firmware on the internet. Can i choose all firmware that begins with VNS-L31 or is there something to consider?
For example this version: VNS-L31C636B361
Which way is easier and which firmware should i choose?
thanks

The right firmware for your phone is L-31C432B370
L-31 is the phone model, if you flash firmwares with wrong phone model your phone will certainly soft brick or brick.
C432 is the region, for example c636 is Oriental/Chinese region, c185 is American or other (I don't remember), c432 is European. If you flash firmwares with wrong region, the phone will probably go into c900, the global region, And it would be difficult to restore to the factory firmware.
B*** is the actual firmware version. From 300 is android nougat, and the versions that end with 0 ("b370") are for dual SIM, those that end with 1 ("b371") are for single SIM.

l-31c432b370 how to install
Hi,
I have bricked my device today with this update https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545586862
I install it via twrp and than had the issue with voice command instead keyboard during setup. Fortunately I am now again back to Android 6.
Could anyone please tell me which one I have to choose and by which method I have to install it. I mean, should I install it with stock recovery or with tmrp.
My device is now unlocked and it's rooted with twrp.
Is that the right data: http://www.stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-b388-b389-nougat-update/
There are 3 files. One update.app and than Update data and update file. Should i install all 3 files or which one I have to choose?
Ps: Normally my system was Vns-l31c432b130 and now I have Vns-l31c432b161. But the phone is dual sim though.
Many thanks
Solved to rollback and update the usual way
Hello,
if anyone else has the same issue, this is the way to solve it.
First install the right rollback package and the stock Rom.
Here is a tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...torial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955
After I was again on stock, I updated first to b370 and than again updating to b380 by Huawei system update app.
Again unlock and install twrp and su if you wish to.
Many thanks

Can't remember off the top of my head because my mate 8 is not with me but I think L29 firmware should be compatible with your firmware also.

[Firmware] Which firmware should i use to update to emui 5.xx with VNS-L31 C432 B226?

My phone had to be repaired last week, and the Huawei repair service changed everything in the phone except for the backplate.
However, I am now stuck with emui 4.1.2 in firmware VNS-L31 C432 B226, and i can't find a replacement firmware for the system.
The phone shows no update available in stock.
I have TWRP and magisk installed atm, just so i could try and get a different firmware with emui 5.1 or 5.0 at least, which I did to no avail.
Is there any way to find the correct firmware compatible with this phone?
Googling this firmware gives me no clues as to the correct path to updating this phone.
Should i use an adb/fastboot command prompt to update it, or use the dload method, or even the extract the SYSTEM.img from UPDATE.app method?
I just don't want to revert to an "earlier" version of the firmware with the dload method just to have my phone bricked.
These are the firmware i tried already:
[TO BE UPDATED]
TL/DR:
I have a Huawei P9 Lite repaired to a stock:
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 B226
EMUI: 4.1.2
in Portugal.
I want to know a compatible firmware or series of firmware patches so i can get
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 Bxxx
EMUI: 5.xx
Thank you for your time.
Hello,
it's strange that with an unbranded european firmware your phone didn't upgraded to android 7....
Anyhow i never done a forced upgrade but if i were you i wil try with HWOTA update, like explained in this thread.
So first make all your necessary backups, then unroot and finally follow the guide to upgrade.
P.S.: If your phone is dual sim try install B370, if single sim try with B371.
All the best

I tried a bunch of firmwares for emui 5.1 that didn't work, or which had NFC and bluetooth not working. I ended up downgrading to B160, and am now reupgrading to B370 after checking that both of the previously mentioned are working properly. I will update on this issue asap.
Also, it seems like the firmware I originally had was updated in march 2018, so it was really an updated official firmware with emui 4.1. What a weird setup. Could it be to make sure the NFC and bluetooth would be working? I just don't know...

I did it and it worked, however i flashed the recovery partition of version VNS-L31C432B380 with TWRP and now can't do a OTA update to B388.
Should I extract the recovery img from a b380 FULLOTA update and flash it to my recovery partition with fastboot?

Hey,
surely without stock recovery OTA updates won't work,
so yes try flash it with fastboot, then update to the latest/wanted firmware and finally unlock bootloader,
flash custom recovery and root (even if wanted).
Best regards
