Huawei P9 Lite is soft bricked - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Guys, I just bricked my Huawei P9 Lite LNS - V21. Because I tried to install a custom rom but failed horrendously. My phone was on Android 7.0 Nougat, I succesfully unlocked it's bootloader, rooted it and installed a recovery using the Revolution Recovery. What caused the brick was when I tried to install the Resurrection Remix on this phone with Android 6.0. I already downloaded the stock rom but I don't know what to do, I can't move the update.zip to the internal storage of my phone, and I couldn't connect it to my pc because I remembered that I disabled USB Debugging mode on my phone because it was kind of a nuisance while copying files to the pc and vise versa. Please, I really need help. Thanks if you would help

Move the Android 6 update.app file to the dload folder on your SD card. Then press volume up+volume down+power to flash the stock rom, recovery and to relock the bootloader. After that unlock your bootloader and install TWRP and follow the instructions to flash RR

So, I just need to put the update.zip in the dload folder in my external sdcard? Because I can't access the internal storage

no, you need the update.app file extracted from the update.zip.

[SOLVED] local updates (update.zip, update.app) after root and unroot not working

Hello guys,
I have general issue updating locally (DLOAD) my P8 Lite, from root or SD, full update.app or incremental update.zip.
System always says: Sorry OTA update package (update.app or update.zip) not found and phone restarts
I had root but already unrooted. Tried to go back manually with adb to B052, didn´t help.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP?
Local update is not possible with TWRP. If you have TWRP you need to flash stock recovery, before trying the local update.
Well, I never installed different recovery, everything is default.
So after I renamed packages to something else, from e.g. update.zip to Update.zip1, and then back to update.zip, it started to work. While update I had DLOAD folder located both SD and root.

how can i find a stock recovery?
same problem here. i have it on root of sd named update.app what do i have to do? rename it update.zip ?
Get a USB cable and plug it into a computer then restart the phone into recovery you should find it boots Huawei standard recovery if not you will have to flash it
EDIT turn off the phone then press volume up whilst pressing volume up press the power button keep holding volume up recovery should load

I've always used TWRP to flash stock updates. After flashing you have stock recovery and it's unrooted.

Here you can find a table with all Huawei firmware in it. Find one (F3) for your device (for example, ale-l21 europe region: ALE-L21C432) and download the FULL version. Then use Huawei Update Extractor to get just the recovery.img (right click on it > Extract)

Problem downgrading to MM from N

Hey guys!
I've installed the Nougat beta for my P9 Lite VNS-L21 Dual Sim, but now I want to downgrade to MM. This is what I did:
0. Installed Nougat via Melticulus TWRP
1. Installed Revolution Recovery (because Melticulus TWRP had stopped working, idk why)
2. Flashed OEMInfo
3. Copied Version B150/B151 (I've tried both) to the SDCard
4. Started the P9 Lite with Power + Volume UP + Volume DOWN and tried to flash one of the versions.
I'm stuck here, the Huawei Recovery says the following: "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package!"
I've used HTC Mania, Thread NR 1200630 to download the stock rom for my P9 Lite, I've tried both the VNS-L21C432B151 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa and the VNS-L21C432B150 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.1.1 Europa

Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31 Problem

Hi guys,
I would like to ask help with the problem I'm facing with my Huawei phone.
I had EMUI 4.1 which was in Stock Marshmallow and I updated it to the EMUI 5.0 | Nougat 7.0
THEN, I tried to flash a Revolutionary TWRP Nougat B.9 and it was ok, but then when I flashed SuperSU from onhax.me it got stuck on the part where it says
" Your phone has been unlocked and unsafe ... "
It was stuck there for almost an hour and thought that it is now softbricked. So I made a move of flashing bunch of ROMs that I thought that would fix it, the last ROM I tried to flash is RevolutionROM-P9Lite-B161-RC3_17-11-16
It seemed like it flashed it fine but says
Updating partition details...
mount -o bind '/data/media' 'sdcard' process ended with ERROR: 134
So I rebooted my phone and it went to
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.

-------------------------------------------------
(1) Press Power key to continue
(2) Press Volume Up key up to 3 seconds to enter erecovery to restore your device.

^ It shows that screen twice and after the 2nd boot, it goes to Huawei eRecovery which I think is the stock recovery for my phone.
Now I don't know what to do with my phone, I don't know what ROM I should try to flash, I don't know how I can restore my phone back.
Does anyone know what to do in this kind of situation?
Please, I need help
If you have no /dload/ folder in your sd card, and your are not connected with usb, a boot with 3 buttons method should be boot on TWRP.
Then flash oemInfo and put the update.app of the version of your choice in /dload/ folder in sd card and boot with 3 buttons method
(Sorry for my bad english i'm french)

[Q] Stuck on custom rom, sim not working, want to go to stock

Hi, I have tried all night to install a custom rom and recovery for my huawei p9 lite (VNS-L21).
I've managed to flash Ressurection Remix with Meticulus' TWRP but now my sim card doesn't work.
It's detected but i can't make calls, send messages or use data.
I want to go back to stock EMUI but i don't know how exactly. I've found an update.app for my model but it won't install. I've lost my recovery and i can't flash a new one despite the bootloader being unlocked. Can anyone help me please or guide me how to restore it back to it's original state?
If it helps it was the VIP mobile Serbia model, CM-hi6250.
Thanks in advance, I really want to just have a working phone

If you lost Twrp you must flash it via fastboot command. After that it is neccesary to flash Oem C432 zip. In that step you can chose if you want oem for single or dual sim. I suggest to flash Oem C432 dual sim using TWRP.. On SD card you need to place in dload folder firmware full b160 in format update.app. When the Oem is flashed turn off phone (please dont let to reboot phone after flashing of oem ) , press power+volume up+ volume down, hold them a few seconds after you see logo screen, release buttons and full revovery will start. Oem L21C432 dual sim flashable zip file you can find here or in our local forum on benchmark.
All the best.

Create a dload folder in your sd card and search for an "update.app" file that is right for your device. Place it in the dload folder then press power button+ volume up+volume down to do a force stock ROM installment after install remove sdcard enter stock recovery make a wipe...restart done

[ GUIDE ] Restoring and relocking a bricked FRD-L04, L09 or L19 using Dload

This guide is for those who want to restore their device in case TWRP isn't working out or want to make sure their bootloaders and FRP is locked.
This works for FRD-L04, L09 or L19.
First make sure that you are on the latest version of TWRP. You can download the latest one from here ( https://goo.gl/QARI5A ) and flash it via fastboot. Once that is done then boot into it and completely wipe ur device clean using advanced wipe. So you'll have to wipe system, data, internal storage, cache and dalvik (DON'T WIPE ANYTHING ELSE). Once you're done with that download the rollback package and the entire firmware package from the links below depending on your model no.
FRD-L04 = https://goo.gl/dhMwEJ
FRD-L09 = https://goo.gl/57EQDV
FRD-L19 = https://goo.gl/57EQDV
This will download the the necessary files for your model FRD-L04, L09 or L19.
After that download the Huawei update.app extactor tool from here (https://goo.gl/yuuDL1). Now extract the update.app file of the rollback package and using the tool you've just downloaded extract the recovery.img from it. Now flash the extracted recovery using fastboot. Then place the rollback update.app file in a dload folder in your MicroSD card and press volume + and the power button to run the update. After it completes remove the MicroSD card from your device, extract the update.app file from the large firmware package and place it in the same dload folder replacing the rollback package on your MicroSD card. Then put the card back into the phone and run the update again using volume + and the power button. This should install the operating system on your device. Once it is done the phone will restart into the OS. You will now have an early build of marshmallow.
When you update the phone to Nougat the bootloader will lock and if you want to FRP lock for protection from theft then go to developer options and remove allow OEM unlocking. To make sure that your bootloader will lock please select "Download latest full package".

what was your earlier version when you were on stock ROM? may be you can flash the same or higher version. Dload will work for sure its just a matter of trial and error of few firmwares.

I actually used this to come from a custom ROM. It'll work if you use TWRP and wipe the system partition and then use stock recovery to flash the stock ROM.
