Hi,
Just recently bought this phone for spare/workphone. I have installed Android 7.0, model number is L31 and fw version is C432B336.
Im not so experienced in Huawei world and i would like know what other rom version can i flash to this phone? Are all okay as long as its for L31? Or should it always be C432 variant?

anything that works on the l31, c432 means it's the european variant

So all L31 variants work? Or is there differences in lte bands lets say like 432 and 185 variants ?

You can flash whatever rom version you want.
As most of us, we've installed vns-l31c185/c636b360(latest version of Nougat) and we don't have bugs or problems.
No matter what oem info it has (oem info is the Variant/region of the phone, like c432 is for Europe, c185 is for mena , c636 asia i guess, correct me if I'm wrong) The version will be compatible with your phone.
I don't know if there is differences between oem info of each region , personally i installed c185b360+ the additional package of c432b328 over c432b161,( i was in mm and went to nougat) and i dont have problems with mobile data.

@simo255
Thanks for the answers. Like i said i currently have rooted L31c432b336 and revolution recovery.
If i want to update b360 should upgrade through dload method or twrp?

Via twrp you can flash nougat without changing oem info. If you want to update via dload you must have the oeminfo of the rom you want to install.( So if you are on C432 you can t flash C185 Ffirmware via dload because you havr c432 oeminfo) but be carefull..there arr lots of bricked devicea.

Sorry to rub it, but I want to be sure because I already had troubles when upgrading to nougat.
But....so in twrp I can just flash the bigger (abt 1.2gb) file and its should work? No need to flash second smaller zip?
I have had Sony devices past 3 year and I have used to flash those

Ive ashed the second file and it gaves me errors
Like i did , flash the bigger size and the additional package, take a look at my thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932

I will follow simo225's instructions.
Now I'm beginning to wonder what is the differences between smaller zip and additional zip, because I thought they were the same :laugh:

From Emui 5.0 to Lineage OS 13?

Hi guys. I've a Huawei Nova L01 with CAN-L01C02B331 and CUSTC02D002 firmware. I want to try the lineageos build published by grarak on his twitter account but some weeks ago i risked to brick the phone (i was already on nougat). Anyone know a safe and effective guide for that? Thanks to those who will help me

Don't know what to say, I have Android nougat and tried to flash lineage by Grarak but I'm stuck at patching system image unconditionally....

You can talk with Grarak on Twitter and ask him how to solve this issue and if it's possible to go back on marshmallow from emui5

already done so, zero response

Asked huawei for rollback link
Same problem here, so I emailed huawei for a rollback link. I'm on NRD90M so normally should be able to revert to original MM... No response so far...

And how can we go back to mm, is there a tool to do it? I have tried to flash mm but I'm not able because system and cust partition are bigger on stock mm firmwares, so once installed nougat we are not able to go back on mm. Basically they have to release a tool witch will automatically repartition system and cut partitions or release a mm firmware with smaller partitions....Oh sorry they didn't respond, I'm curious about they're response, if they will ever replay to you e-mail.

Well, thats whats the NRD90M build is made for, so you would be able to return to MM Its a build that should give the opportunity to have a rollback... However, what I have learned is that you need a specific updatefile to do this... This updatefile, does not exist (?)

Hello!
First, let me tell you that you don't need to make X same threads or posts to get attention. One is enough. You just need to be patient.
You better wait for OTA.
The latest firmware is B350. I've used it on my CAN-L11 and I've found it better than B340, which was laggy a bit. The battery backup seems to be as EMUI 4.1, more or less (according to my usage).
The bug of Themes app can be fixed if you're rooted. Here's a guide about how to fix it.
In this post I've wrote the steps I've used to update to B350, through Firmware Finder. Just "click to show content". If you have locked bootloader, then skip the steps 3-->6.

It's said that firmwares from Firmware Finder are official ones, but I have no proof about that. I think B340 is a beta and prolly B350 too, not sure.
As I've said in my previous post, I've experienced some lags with B340 on my CAN-L11 and I can't recommend it. I didn't have any issues with B350 though.
There wasn't B350 neither when I've updated it. I installed B340 and then updated to B350 through Settings > System update.

As far as I know, you can't. You have to install C02 over C02 and C432 over C432. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The guide from Controllerboy works perfect ( advice read it more than once ) , the axontoolkit works too.
If you decide to go with custom rom you will loose ZTE Dolby,
but viper works good, but there are debloated stock roms which you can use with Dolby and root.
Unlocking the bootloader is always helpful, if you decide to use custom recovery and root, because if you mess up anything you're mostly lost with a locked bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader will completely wipe your phone, better you copy your important stuff to PC.
If you just want to update your phone copy the latest official
firmware to the external SD card and use the update function.

This is a bit outdated, you can follow the guide on mm or n, doesn't matter. No need to down or upgrade before.

After you did the unlock, the twrp update and flashed the Los thread bootloader + modem you can use this rom, guess this is what you want:

@am2006 it seem strange that you don't receive OTA update. It is seem that the seller had done something with the phone (properly install A2017G on A2017 chinese model). Before doing anything, you must know you model, cause A2017G brick is pretty hard to fix

No I think the last update in Italy is MM, but I'm not sure, the device is new and I check the model and SN on the mobile and its cartoon, it is matching

I recommend using stock Nougat. Stock ROM has pretty good camera, Dolby, DAC which you will missing when using custom ROM. (Stock MM is bit crappy, ZTE has fix a lot after several update).
Beside, RR is very good custom ROM.
Official Xposed does not support Nougat yet, there is an unofficial one but not work with stock Nougat, I haven't try on RR

There are multiple iterations of Dolby made as a Magisk module. Magisk works perfectly on both LineageOS and Stock rom.

Okay sounds cool I'll rebrand the question remained is what brand has the latest update?(Please provide a link to .zip update) and the last question is,if I rebrand before I install oreo what exactly happens I turn on my phone and it has a frimware from Africa but its brand is now China!Will that be able to turn on?Or I should use TWRP to install Chinese firmware from SD card.

Since I'm an android developer I need to have multiple os if possible.Has anyone tried this Or any better one?Can I use it in this case?

The links from hicloud says that the files have been deleted.
I don't have a reliable internet connection I rather download zip files then update because I don't want in the middle of the operation things go wrong that's why I didn't try HiSuite.Any live link would be appreciated.

I download B200 tried to install via dload failed said (incompatiblity with current version ) tried with twrp failed.And I wiped my OS and tried again and failed.And lost my OS.Sort of now it shows me android logo instead of huawie logo and it's stuck on the initial setup of nougat.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-how-to-downgrade-mate-8-emui-5-to-t3515202
I found this and it says the nougat version must be b500 but mine was b560 and tried to install the rollback and it failed again.I don't know what to do?I need my phone.
Couldn't find any download link of b500 did you do that on your b500 or b560?
If b500 please give me a link of NXT-L29C185B500

Tried again and it didn't give me error this time the point is that it doesn't run on B500 it makes your device B500!

After installing marshmellow the bootloader is locked again!
