Hello
it's easy to understand.
huawei needs the recovery stock to install.
so, just delete twrp.
To do it just with adb and fastboot, flash recovery.img of your version.
** control / fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
now, download your ota update.
he will install it.
or you can find recovery stock, In the update.app (open with huawei extrator), recover the file you wanted.

Hello

Maybe there is an easier and faster way to get your phone up.
personally, I have never used FF to install, except to download the firmware.

L31c432b370 but after trying b380 full did get an error after 60% .. i rebooted the phone and i have b380 then i received ota message saying b388 is available so I tried to install that and it worked completely so i don't know why it did not updated from 370 to 380 normally but its ok now thanks for the help

have you tested the update with HiSuite?
just connect the phone to the pc, hisuite turns on, and press click on update system.
For me, it works, b160 he offers me b370 and then b380.

Yeah same problems with hisuite then.. I even have tried dload still errors then

I said my last words with you.
I still have a solution.
I will put the firmware vns-l31c432b394 the latest on my google drive.
Like, you could install twrp and the root.
I suppose you knew how to return to MM (c432b160). ok for you.
so,
since, vns-l31c432b160, bootloader code, install twrp for MM, went to wipe, check all except SD card and wipe to wipe. back, back, go to install, install update.zip and install the data full l31.zip.
reboot.
There you go.
problem will be a little longt, it takes time to send it in google-drive.
he tells me 8am so tomorrow I give you the google-drive link.

P9 lite No audio After TWRP restore Dload failing HELP

[SOLVED] Hi i was on l-31c432b381 firmware with emui 5.0 and android 7.0, i have unlocked the bootloader for install magisk 12.0 and have root permissions, after months i saw an update for my phone (b389) so i tried to upgrade but i had twrp so error 1 or 7, i flashed the stock recovery, redowload the update and the install failed at 5%, so i tried to unistall magisk before update, but nothing it wont update, after few tries the upgrader says that the update now is not 300mb but is full and is 2gigs, so i think is the time.. but no. so i tried to force the update with 3 buttons recovery dload method but it doesn't work at all 5% at every try. so i searched for support and i found that the ota connot be installed on unlocked devices, so i tried to relock my bootloader with oem relock and the unlock number but it says root type is risk... so i can't even relock my bootloader.. other says that i have to install to relock or can relock... but is b381 the stock? or they instend the mm version? i don't remember what version p9 lite ships. i tried to flash imgs through fastboot but even if i flash system and boot of the b389 the system boot and the info are of the b381, unisatlling app system crash, so i restored my previous backup made through twrp recovery, i immidiatly noticed that the huawei boot animations was gone and was an android stock animation. i thinked it was fine and all was working properly, i give up o upgrade and i was fine but sad. after few hours i tried to make a paper copy with my printer that have nfc but my phone keep shows and hide nfc symbol like on off on off on off over and over even after reboot, after a call i understand that the audio doesn't was working, every type of audio not work even the mic. i don't see any other problems but without sounds is unusable as a phone or mulimedia things... sorry for bad english please HELP i tried all i founded ...

Hi, my english is bad too , B389 is an OTA update, its impossible upgrade via fstboot or via TWRP (error 7). IMO the right way to fix your problems - downgrade to MM , then back to Nougat etc. (remove pattern Lock , Fingerprint lock, root etc. before installing downgrade). It will erase all your phone data!!!
Download official rollback package for your VNS-L31C432
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and download MM firmware VNS-L31C432B161 (Single SIM)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip
1) Create a new folder dload in root directory of SD card (root directory : it means dont put it in any folder .) Now unpack the rollback package and copy its contents “UPDATE.APP” to the “dload” folder. Use the 3 button combo installation. After your firmware version should now be on “B300” or "test-keys".
2) Remove from dload folder rollback package, extract the ZIP file with MM firmware to the dload folder and use 3 combo button installation.
Or you can use this method : on your phone launch the phone dialer app and dial *#*#2846579#*#*. Next, select Project Menu – > Software upgrade – > SDcard upgrade – > and confirm the flashing process that is about to be initiated.
Good luck!

Yes, you can. Via OTA, or you can use TWRP (Meticulus 3.0.2.0 only ! ) and flash both .zip files. You must download two files:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v80474/f1/full/update.zip
and
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip.
In TWRP set Install, then select memmory SD card, and klick on
update.zip, confirm installation. After, STAY in TWRP, go back to Install, find file ...hw_eu....zip , confirm installation. Then select rebot system. Done!

Try it, but I think, you will get a message "not compatible" . Via dload its impossible, IMO use rather Huawei firmware finder or wait for OTA update.

FF works with proxy fine, but you must first download and install Firmware finder proxy apk. On Nougat use TWRP 3.1.0-2.

It's impossible that firmware finder don't work on Europe code ( c432 ) .
Download firmware finder
Download proxy installer from FF settings ( set proxy install )
Find ROM b370 with ".PV" end . If u will use another ROM u won't have half of system apps . IF u coming from mm u must use .PV file and the only file with ".PV" end is b370 . Choose proxy install
Proxy installer app should open . Do what is says
It says ( change wi-fi settings , go to update settings in settings , find new update , download 1% of it , go tour wi-fi and delete what u set , download full ROM and he phone should update itself . Then I can use others updates ( others than .pv )
Ta da. U got nougat
Did ihelp u ? Click ?

TWRP only, 100% guaranteed method to success , wipe dalvik & cache, flash update.zip, go back to Install in TWRP menu (without reboot ! ) and flash second file ...hw_eu.zip. Reboot system , enjoy .
(you will see two red errors in TWRP, it's okay)
Use TWRP 3.0.2.0 only !!!

"i know the 1.25gb file is too small and i had to roll back..." - what do you mean by that, you had tried update to Nougat and then downgrade using Rollback package ?
If so, and youf phone stay at NRD90M test-keys, try at first install via dload MM firmware from here
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66015/f1/full/update.zip
Create a new folder dload in root directory of SD card (root directory : it means dont put it in any folder .) Now unpack the rollback package and copy its contents “UPDATE.APP” to the “dload” folder. Use the 3 button combo installation.
Ensure that the installation will succeed.
You must unlock the bootloader again, install TWRP etc.
It must work.

Software Install Failed - WAS-LX1A SINGLE SIM 4GB

Hello,
Got a WAS-LX1A SINGLE SIM 4GB UK (with an updated WAS-LX1AC432B185 firmware).
Trying to go back to stock but all firmware (WAS-LX1AC432B179, WAS-LX1AC432B186, WAS-LX1AC432B187) which has been downloaded using Firmware Finder is failing via dload method: "Software Install Failed"
Any ideas or a link would to a firmware where I can start would be good,
Thanks

hi:
check this:
b182 =ds: 182, 184, 186 and so on....
b183= ss: 179, 183, 185, 187 so on...
-------------------------------------===== follow instructions of below if is bricked
now:
you need unlock bootloader
oeminfo ss
srom b183
twrp
sdcard
1- with a sdcard, create dload folder, then extract b183 and copy update.app + all was folders.
2- enable developer settings and enable oem unlock, poweroff and press vol-+power, then fastboot oem unlock code, then follow the screen(configs)
3- move twrp to c:/adb, with a cmd opened type cd c:/adb press enter, and type fatboot flash recovery recovery.img, finished type fastboot reboot plus pressing vol + till erecovery screen, shutdown and unplug, press vol+ power.
4- insert sdcard and make only a backup of your oeminfo, extract downloaded oem and copy/replace in twrp back folder, then restore in twrp. power off now only do 3buttons method

Thanks foliaje, I have tried WAS-LX1AC432B179 and its not working. The phone boots fine. Basically, I rooted and it tried to update via TWRP and failed. Now trying to restore to stock and getting this error. DO you have a link to the exact firmware that I can try - tried several of them now and its failing.

Ok, I managed to go back to stock by downloading via Firmware Finder. So, dload method via SD Card don't work with this phone or what? Would appreciate if someone can confirm?

Hey foliaje, Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
Let me explain my issue: I have purchased my phone yesterday, it upgraded to 185 (I am assuming it was B183, didn't check) via OTA. Then I almost finished setting up the phone including ROOT but a b187 OTA appeared little bit later but failed because I had TWRP already installed. That's fine, no problem. So wanted to start again like I usually do - download the firmware, put on sd card and off you go......
But the problem with this phone is (and I had quite few Huawei one's including tablets) when I downloaded the full firmware, using the SD card dload method I get "Software Install Failed" but it seemed to have worked when I did it via Firmware Finder (I am on B187 now). So something not right - either something has changed or I need to do something else.
So what's the issue? The only think I can think of here is that you are saying that this phone require a 'service' firmware that does not do authentication or something? Right? I am downloading C432B183 from your link and will see what happens (bit slow).
I really would like to know now so I can get back to stock when I mess things up

OK...I followed as below:
Downloaded http://androidhost.ru/JS
(1) Copied main UPDATE.APP to dload folder
(2) Then renamed WAS-L01A_hw_eu\update_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.app to UPDATE.APP and copied to dload folder
Is above method correct, can we do it in one go?
Anyway, I think it has worked (had to do few reset) but the firmware version was showing WAS-LX1AC432B179 - is that correct? OTA upgraded to WAS-LX1AC432B185

Thanks dude, appreciate your help.
Now - any ideas why the firmware finder firmware's don't work on this phone via dload method?

In the UK and have exact same model. Filmware finder did not work for me also. The one in the link below did though! Its the first download you need. Copy the update.app and the folder 'L01A' to the 'dload' folder on your sd card. Does your phone boot? If so in the dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose software upgrade then sd card update, it will then flash the filmware to pure stock.

Yes, its all good now. Bizarre - Huawei making things difficult now. Which TWRP are you using? Can the TWRP backup function works for you i.e. encryption disabled?

[Solved] Firmware reinstall by dload method

Hey guys, I've somehow managed to brick my device while I was half asleep. Now I've installed just the UPDATED.app by using the dload method, this worked but I'm facing the issue of not having bluetooth work. I've tried several update files but the result is either that it flashes and it doesnt work correctly still, or it doesnt flash at all. I've only ever flashed the updated.app from the update.zip, but I haven't touched anything else, including the update_data_full_public.zip or update_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu. Is there a way to use the dload method of some sort to freshly install the firmware correctly? Right now I'm sitting on region C432 and B371. Any help is appreciated!

Use rollback package, go back to A6, flash via dload C432B161 (A6 firmware for your phone), factory reset, and try update to Nougat via OTA or via Firmware finder.
You can't flash Nougat FW via dload.

I've looked for the B161 one, I have found one although it doesn't really work as it says "incompatible versions" in the dload method, am I doing something wrong or am I forgetting something? I'm using the one from this website https://www.gizrom.com/b161-emui-4-1-huawei-p9-lite-android-6-0/

Strange, if your phone is dual SIM, B371 is wrong FW, it's for single SIM, okay, if you have dual, download rollback package for L-31:
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and VNS-L31C432B160:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66034/f1/full/update.zip
Now unpack rollback package, and paste update.app in the dload folder on SD card and flash using three button combo.
Remove rollback from dload folder, unpack B160 and paste update.app in dload, and flash (button combo). Factory reset and voila! you are on Marsmallow .

I just did them, I think I was missing the rollback package. Bluetooth does work, as everything else. I think there should be an option to update, however I'm not sure which version I should find on the huawei firmware finder. The normal Updater doesn't seem to have an update (yet, I'm not sure if it'll pop up either). Any idea which is the most recent one that I can try? As I thought b371 was good but apparantly its single sim Thank you!

If you are now on B160, and can't update to Nougat via OTA (dont forget insert SIM card into phone), use Firmware finder, and send to update this FW: VNS-L31C432B370 FullOTA-MF-PV. "PV" is very important! No.: 80460 . And check firmware accses for your phone with IMEI.

I think I found that one, why was the PV important? Does it contain stuff that I was missing? I've also checked it with the firmware access, it seems it's working with the updater. It's still downloading, but I think it'll work. In any case thank you!

It did work, there is another update waiting though, is it safe to update to the 380 version?
