Huawei P9 lite - force upgrade firmware - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi everybody,
I'm struggeling with my phone and trying to upgrade it to Nougat.
I have the same issues that many of you already explained. when I'm on Marshmallow, I receive the notification to Nougat but it's the incomplete version (1,25gb). I tried many rollback and it's the only upgrade I receive.
I also try to find firmware with Firmware finder, I have a long list of firmware but none can be installed. [three button method, during the installation it says software installation failed (or something like that).
So my question, do you have a method to force the installation of an stock firmware without rooting the phone?
many thanks !

P9 Lite VNS-21 random restart

Hello to all,
I have a smartphone Huawei P9 Lite version VNS-L21 with firmware version VNS-L21c432b160
Following the update of the firmware, the phone when it is idle or while using or telephoning, randomly restarts without any errors.
I tried to perform a reset to factory conditions, but nothing done.
Now I wanted to completely reinstall the firmware via SD Card, but I noticed that there is also the version of the B161 firmware.
The problem is that by the Updater app, this update B161 does not appear to me!
Able to make the manual flash version of the B161 or if there is some reason why appears in updater app
Obviously I do not intend to lose the guarantee.
Sorry for my bad english
I look forward to your advice
If you are on VNS-L21c432b160, update via OTA to VNS-L21c432b161 is not going to happened...
I think if you wait for OTA, next update for you is B170...
You cand make a manual update to B161, update will going ok,
but you will find out that firmware version will not change, remain B160...
In my case is tested from B130 to B131, from B150 to B151 and from B160 to B161.
Update proceed without error, but firmware version not change...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then, should I reinstall the firmware B160?
If the problem occurs again what can I do to try to understand the problem?
The phone has also restarted after resetting to factory conditions, without installing other apps.
the problem is that Random happen, it does frequently
Try with C432B130 firmware as reference.
Those symptoms unknown for me and i make many flashes/reflashes with different versions and
i din not experience even a single random restart of phone...
I suspect a hardware problem...
Can I install an older version of the firmware without losing the warranty with completely stock phone? If possible ... Where do I find the firmware? Thank you
Updating up/down with stock firmware's not affects warranty...
You will find L21C432B130.zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16538#downloads
Keep in mind: every time when make updating on your phone, something can make wrong and you can brick your phone.

Finding stock roms

Hi there, I recently moved from an old samsung phone to the huawei p10 and I made the rookie mistake of not
backing up my stock rom before rooting my phone. Now when I try to update my phone with the new firmware (I tried the partial update and full update file) they both did not work. I also tried the dload method since I have a micro SD card in my phone, but after doing more reading in the user manual it suggests that since my phone is rooted I will not be able to apply the update.
I was wondering if anyone knows where to get the stock rom for model WAS-L03T so I can fix this. Please and thanks
I have had a look around but can't find anything but, filmware finder might have it. Link to the playstore app below. They also have a PC version.
You will need to flash stock recovery to be able to flash stock filmware.

Hi there, thanks for responding, but I was wondering if it was possible to find a stock rom and not the stock firmware for my device.
I am able to download the firmware through my updater but applying the update is where I am having issues. :good:

Stuck on Huawei eRecovery after phone failed OTA Oreo update

Hi,
Big trouble time with my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1) after it tried to OTA upgrade to Oreo.
I had not tried anything before - no rooting, no unlock, nothing - and it measerably failed on its own, well done Huawei.
I tried to create a "dload" folder on extSD + adding update.app file etc. it goes up to 5% upgrade then fails..
I found previous methods and posts here on how to unbrick the phone but it requires to unlock the phone and install TWRP etc.
I will bring it back to the store next week and see what they can do, for the moment I bought another phone..
If someone encounters the same problems feel free to post here.
Edit: for the record the attempted methods (thanks Gigi)

Well,I was before on Nougat and had some battery issues so I decided,maybe going to Oreo would solve my issues,so I go ahead and unlock the bootloader and install TWRP,and then it seems I flashed Oreo No Check recovery on Nougat and it displayed the BOOT error.
The only way I fixed my phone was to buy a three day license of DC Phoenix for 20 euros.
I flashed the first version of Nougat on it and then it installed a new version of Nougat through eRecovery,and after a few weeks the Oreo update came,installed it with no issues.
Overall,DC Phoenix might be the only thing that will work,but at least it is guaranteed to work.

i cant update p10 lite

Hey, i have this version of p10 lite WAS-LX1c432b124 dual sim, and i think in the past i did something wrong because now i cant update my android , and emui. i cant factory reset, i tried a lot of times and nothing, i just want to update.. because im getting updates but every time i tried to update i get the software install failed error... i tried using the firmware finder app and nothing, also i tried moving the dload to the sdcard and updating but it stops at 5% and i get another error... software install failed get help from......
can someone help me please
Have you tried HiSuite? My phone seemed to stop updating when I had gone through Firmware Finder in the past, but using HiSuite I picked up an update 2 months ago and more recently an OTA update.
Didn't work, I can't update my phone and I think is because I did something wrong in the past, like unlocking bootloader or something. I can't factory reset too..
