Hello friends,
Today I decided to upgrade my p9 lite dual sim to nougat. The build i was on was the L21-b160 and the updater showed no updates, so I downloaded the firmware finder app.
Since I am a bit new to this, I thought that the b161 would be a newer version of the b160, so i downloaded it with proxy. The update went fine. However, since then, I cannot install a newer ROM version. They all stop at 1% and say 'update failed'. At the moment, I am on VNS-L21C432B161. And ideas of how to install a nougat build?
Thank you all in advance.

i have huawei p8 model number GRACE GRA-C900B370 marshmallow and i have been trying to downgrade with no luck, the battery life is horrible on this android version.
i downloaded the OS and extracted the dload file and all and when it starts updating it doesn't go past 5%.
any help would be appreciated.
Apparently, 'great battery improvement' with the latest B380 (can update from B370): [Firmware][Leak]Huawei P8 B380 - GRA-L09C432B380
Have you tried it?
Hi, what have you decided to do in the end?
If you still want to downgrade, what have you tried so far? To which version & build number do you want to downgrade?
When you say "i downloaded the OS", which version & build number are you referring to & where did you download it from?
Hello!
I have got a P9 Lite (L21C432) with B170 installed. I try to update to B381, but when it starts the update proccess, it shows an error "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package". I'm sure that I've downloaded L21 version. So, is B381 still a beta version or is there anything else that I'm doing wrong? I have not rooted the phone and I do not want to do it, yet.
Thank you a lot!

Hi,
did you try to install the update by Firmware Finder and proxy method?

Go into "B380, new builds in Firmware Finder" topic and read that almost no one can install that update because of that error. So its not only you, its nothing we can do except to wait.
Hi guys ...
I have a huawei nova eu version single sim with android 6.0 on it
I want to update my phone to android nougat but i didn't get any update from huawei ..
My device info :
MM 6.0
CAN-L01C02B140
CUSTC02D004
with firmware finder i get CAN-L01C02B340 but it wont install .... I don't know why ??
Is there any solution to update my huawei to nougat
My phone is not rooted
??????
be careful with Huawei firmware finder...a lot of people who updated via those update files ended with problems...better wait for official OTA
Hello everyone,
Recently a friend of mine gave me a P9 lite, running the firmware VNS-L21C432B181. Since it wont update by itself, I downloaded the firmware finder app. The thing is, every firmware I tried, fails at 2%.
Does anyone know what update comes after VNS-L21C432B181, so that I can finally update the phone?
Thank you all in advance.
My phone had to be repaired last week, and the Huawei repair service changed everything in the phone except for the backplate.
However, I am now stuck with emui 4.1.2 in firmware VNS-L31 C432 B226, and i can't find a replacement firmware for the system.
The phone shows no update available in stock.
I have TWRP and magisk installed atm, just so i could try and get a different firmware with emui 5.1 or 5.0 at least, which I did to no avail.
Is there any way to find the correct firmware compatible with this phone?
Googling this firmware gives me no clues as to the correct path to updating this phone.
Should i use an adb/fastboot command prompt to update it, or use the dload method, or even the extract the SYSTEM.img from UPDATE.app method?
I just don't want to revert to an "earlier" version of the firmware with the dload method just to have my phone bricked.
These are the firmware i tried already:
[TO BE UPDATED]
TL/DR:
I have a Huawei P9 Lite repaired to a stock:
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 B226
EMUI: 4.1.2
in Portugal.
I want to know a compatible firmware or series of firmware patches so i can get
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 Bxxx
EMUI: 5.xx
Thank you for your time.
Hello,
it's strange that with an unbranded european firmware your phone didn't upgraded to android 7....
Anyhow i never done a forced upgrade but if i were you i wil try with HWOTA update, like explained in this thread.
So first make all your necessary backups, then unroot and finally follow the guide to upgrade.
P.S.: If your phone is dual sim try install B370, if single sim try with B371.
All the best

I tried a bunch of firmwares for emui 5.1 that didn't work, or which had NFC and bluetooth not working. I ended up downgrading to B160, and am now reupgrading to B370 after checking that both of the previously mentioned are working properly. I will update on this issue asap.
Also, it seems like the firmware I originally had was updated in march 2018, so it was really an updated official firmware with emui 4.1. What a weird setup. Could it be to make sure the NFC and bluetooth would be working? I just don't know...

Yeah, downgrading to B160 should be a good choise..
Use then stock updater to look forward

I did it and it worked, however i flashed the recovery partition of version VNS-L31C432B380 with TWRP and now can't do a OTA update to B388.
Should I extract the recovery img from a b380 FULLOTA update and flash it to my recovery partition with fastboot?

Hey,
surely without stock recovery OTA updates won't work,
so yes try flash it with fastboot, then update to the latest/wanted firmware and finally unlock bootloader,
flash custom recovery and root (even if wanted).
Best regards
