P8 Lite - Restore not possible - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all,
I have a Problem with my Huawei P8 Lite. I made a complete Back-Up of my Smartphone and now I wanted to restore my Smartphone now based on the Back Up Files, which I have on my Notebook. If I try to use the Huawei HiSuite for this Restore Process, HiSuite tell me that I have to Up-Date the Huawei Back Up App to the last Version. Topic is that on the Smartphone the latest Version of this App is already set. Every Time i try to start the Restore Process I receive this Message from HiSuite. Result? It is not possible to start the Restore Process.
What I make wrong? Can someone help?
I am not really a technician and I am near to be "pissed off"......
Also the Instructions on the Huawei Customer Support Website deliver no Answer for my Problem.
So - If someone is able to help - please do so....
Thanks in Advance and regards,
Markus

Backing up the Huawei P8

Hi there,
I'd like to start developing on the P8.
Unfortunately I did not yet unlock the bootloader.
When unlocking, the device is reset to factory defaults.
There is a backup function available in HiSuite (or just via adb), but I am not sure if I can rely on it to save all apps, settings, databases and files.
Is there a way to FULLY backup the P8 before unlocking the bootloader so that nothing is lost - just in case I want to revert back to the current state?
Thanks for your help in advance,

TWRP Reinstall Firmware after deleting

Hey dudes,
i bought a second hand huawei p8 lite ALE-L21. Because of old stuff from the previous owner i wanted to reset the device but instead of only deleting the personal data i wiped everything.
End of the story is:
Booting to team win is possible, so i thing it should be possible to install a new firmware.
Problem: I don't know, what firmware i should use and on top how to install it. (yes, i was looking a lot for tutorials, but last device where i used a cfw was my galaxy s2)
Bought at vodafone germany with branding and single sim.
Best option would be a stock android 6
Looking forward for your help and just ask if you need further information
regards James
hi,you ca try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/custom-rom-emui-4-0-android-6-0-ale-t3385630
Or flash via fastboot: recovery,cust,boot and sytem from b049(single-sim) or b052(dual sim) from update.app using huawei extractor
Then flash via local update b170/b171 then b564/b565.
This option is if you want a stock clean rom.

Recovery user data from Huawei Nova

Hi,
I received phone Huawei Nova CAN-L11 form my friend who does not start. Stops on displaying the Huawei logo. It became after self-reboot of the phone, most probably made by the software update mechanism (apparently, this type messages appeared on the screen).
Probably uploading new software will bring phone back to life. But I was asked to do everything to recover user data stored on the phone. Is there a chance for that? How do that? Or there isn't chance for it and give it a miss?

P10 Pro - HiSuite reliabilty (rollback to EMUI 5.1)

Hi everyone
May I ask how reliable Huawei's HiSuite is, when using the rollback feature for firmware's?
I've read the notice that one can roll-back to EMUI 5.1 if upgrading to Oreo and you want to go back (see attached photo).
How reliable is HiSuite on the P10 Pro?
Thanks guys!
I made a spelling mistake on the one poll option, sorry​
It's reliable. You'll also get a factory reset.

If I do a factory reset, it'll reset back to the current firmware, which will then still be OREO.
I want to use Huawei's HiSuite to backup the Nougat (ROM?), in case I don't like Oreo.
Hence why I want to know how reliable HiSuite is.
Not doing any fancy ROOT of my device to try and backup the Nougat ROM.

Killed P9 Lite instead of getting back to live, maybe there is a last chance?

Hello, short Story before. I got a full Hand of non working mobile phones because being full of a hell of viruses.
5pcs. younger ones.
2 Huaweis and 3 Samsungs.
Well so far 4 PCs. are saved.
Getting into the phone wasn´t possible anymore. Data not important so I resettet over the Buttons to original Status. -> Worked fine.
But one Piece which is a Huawei P9 Lite guess it is a single sim? was the button method not possible cause it wanted a Software update and Installation of WLAN failed (EMUI)
Getting into the phone for any informations was also not possible because of all the viruses and not working right ahead anymore.
Well ok -> will use High Suite for stock Firmware -> this mobile phone is not supported and also couldn´t activate MTP as I am not in the phone. So far.
Next Idea -> ok. will take the C900B300 and go back to Marshmallow. From original HUAWEI site.
Took the European Version in German. Did it over EMUI (hold 3 Buttons) and worked so far but when I turned on I was stucking on the WIFI+. Even pressing the button -> further nothing anymore. So I thought -> maybe another stockfirmware useful.
Again C900B300 and then I think I did the big mistake. Took out the sdcard during it was rebooting (HUAWEI was already visible) and now it is big crap. Stucks at HUAWEI. Turning off not possible. This EMUI is not possible anymore. Just with a trick I am able to get into fastboot. Yeah. But what then? Reading TRWP which I know from Samsungs but putting it on with ODIN. ODIN doesn´t work with Huawei. Do I Need TRWP to get it back to normal Firmware? Mobile phone was never customized or anyhting else. just normal stock was on it and is the wish to get a clean back. Resetting to factory was not possible anymore.
So my questions, even I know it is my fault. Any rescue possible?
What could be the best stock Firmware. I Guess it is a single sim from Austria unlocked and unbranded. Would also take Nougat again. Just wanted to get it back to normal working and now I guess I have a big letter holder. Model from the backside is VNS-L31. More I don´t have.
Thanks a lot for any help for my being an idiot. Samsungs are much more easier than HUAWEIs.
Blimey mate,
This really just boil down to what partitions were damaged in your case- Most likely your system and data,
however since you are still Technically running unmodified emui you could manage to sort of salvage it.
The logic is this:
Most custom roms for the p9 lite build on top of emui (patching the system image) rather than replacing it (like the way samsung smartphones do)- so you could flash the rom, it would wipe your phone clean of viruses in the process and then proceed to do a hard restore back to emui.
1.) get your phone into fastboot and flash this twrp http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/forum.html#nabble-td27
2.) Then flash this rom : http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/ressurection-remix-for-hi6250-devices.html MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THIS SITE VERY CAREFULLY
3.)Follow this guide to do a hard restore https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/tips-revert-custom-rom-to-official-t3668413
good luck!!! if you have any questions hit me up!
Hi
Hi Exiatron00,
thanks a lot for your maybe solution way. Will do it this evening after work and come back.
Hopefully it works cause as mentioned in other threads -> don´t think that the original owner opened the Debugging so that I can work over a tool. FRP locked is in fastboot. This was already mentioned in other posts which I have read here in the forums.
Thanks for your step by step explanation. Will do it. Hopefully it works. I am really pissed of my own that i was unpatient with the sdcard. That´s a mistake which shouldn´t happen. Anyway it did. So i will try to do everything to get back working again. I am from IT so I am not such a DAU but newbie with HUAWEIs. Most are Samsungs.
Will give Feedback.

If u need to transfer files , just boot into twrp (it has built in mtp support) , then transfer the file from ur PC to phone via a micro us b cable.
If you are unable to fix the phone I do actually have a FULL twrp backup of my phone (EMUI 5- single sim Europe VNS- L31 C432B370) hit me up if u want it.
Hi,
well adb for flashing not working as device not found. Hi Suite installed. Guess that the USB Debugging is not enabled. hrmpf.
There is a similar thread of somebody with no enabled USB Debugging.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/fastboot-recovery-remotely-enable-usb-t2177440
He writes an solution how to enable in fast boot mode with using N4 toolkit.
Search for a p9 lite toolkit and found this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
may could work?
Big **** -> as Long as USB Debugging is not enabled as Long I am not able to Flash TWRP over adb.
If I connect to PC Hi Suite opens automatically. So driver should be fine as pc recognize the phone.
hm?
Got it working somehow

Hi Exiatron00,
got it working somehow!!!!
Bought a 3 day licence for DC Phoenix where you are able to put Firmware even in fastboot with FRB lock and no USB Debugging on.
So I got the IMEI and Fitting Version which is a L11.
Downloaded it original from Huawei as I still want a original stock Rom not customized which was
HUAWEI P9 Lite Firmware (VNS-L11, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B161, WEU) only wokring one.
BUT the big Problem is that the apk Android System Web View is missing in the ROM. A known Problem by HUAWEI. Yeah now I am stucking in the Setup wizard like this guy who mentioned also the solution whell the reason of this Problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...stuck-initial-setup-upgrade-to-t3498097/page2
So my question now. How do I get the apk on the phone still no USB Debugging? Does anyone have this Version original incl. this apk? Maybe an img. from a running working System?
Only way I am able to put the Firmware on is DC-Phoenix. It is valid still two days. Maybe someone can help me? Please?
So an Image of VNS-L11, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B161, WEU incl. Android System Web View, so that I can go ahead and use the phone again please?
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards.
