Im not so experienced in Huawei world and i would like know what other rom version can i flash to this phone? Are all okay as long as its for L31? Or should it always be C432 variant?

anything that works on the l31, c432 means it's the european variant
So all L31 variants work? Or is there differences in lte bands lets say like 432 and 185 variants ?
You can flash whatever rom version you want.
As most of us, we've installed vns-l31c185/c636b360(latest version of Nougat) and we don't have bugs or problems.
No matter what oem info it has (oem info is the Variant/region of the phone, like c432 is for Europe, c185 is for mena , c636 asia i guess, correct me if I'm wrong) The version will be compatible with your phone.
I don't know if there is differences between oem info of each region , personally i installed c185b360+ the additional package of c432b328 over c432b161,( i was in mm and went to nougat) and i dont have problems with mobile data.
@simo255
Thanks for the answers. Like i said i currently have rooted L31c432b336 and revolution recovery.
If i want to update b360 should upgrade through dload method or twrp?

Via twrp you can flash nougat without changing oem info. If you want to update via dload you must have the oeminfo of the rom you want to install.( So if you are on C432 you can t flash C185 Ffirmware via dload because you havr c432 oeminfo) but be carefull..there arr lots of bricked devicea.

Sorry to rub it, but I want to be sure because I already had troubles when upgrading to nougat.
But....so in twrp I can just flash the bigger (abt 1.2gb) file and its should work? No need to flash second smaller zip?
I have had Sony devices past 3 year and I have used to flash those

Ive ashed the second file and it gaves me errors
Like i did , flash the bigger size and the additional package, take a look at my thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932
I will follow simo225's instructions.
Now I'm beginning to wonder what is the differences between smaller zip and additional zip, because I thought they were the same :laugh:
Hello,
I have aP9 lite with VNS-L31C02B125 version on it, any ideas what C02 is ?

You should be able to flash it without problems, c02 must be your carrier

CO2 - vodafone branding
C432- generic (non-branded)
after some reading on XDA it's seams that 432 will become 900, I have first to "unbranded", change from 02 (vodafone) to unbranded 432
I found a tutorial on XDA but only in spanish, does it exist in english ?
thanks
Vns-l31c02b123
Hello and thanx will it also work for the VNS-L31C02B123 verion .. I have been looking everywhere .. My phone is rooted and unlocked .. Thank you
Hello,
I know this thread is a little old but I have some follow up questions since I'll trying to achieve the same (also have L31C002B125 and would like to upgrade without bricking, if possible).
Where is that Spanish guide you found to unbrand your phone (Spanish is fine by me) from 02 to 432?
I've found several treads that talk about jumping to 161 but with a procedure that doesn't inspire much confidence for me. Something requiring preparing a dload folder with B161, flashing oeminfo/custom.bin for my location (that still is C02 and cannot find any file with that) then realizing the firmware is corrupted (what??) and letting it repair using the dload files via 3keys/dialer code (wich one?)... etc etc. as you see not very noob friendly.
At this moment I have already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery... Can't I do the usual flash with latest rom as with other phones? To afraid to try. Please help.
First, you need change oeminfo. Flash oemiffo from c432 and other step -flash firmware c432b160 ( dual sim) 161 ( single sim).
Very easy make this is via twrp. Flash zip with vendor and firmware.
Hey there, I have a p9 lite VNS L31, it's currently on NRD90M test keys with OEM unlocking greyed out and my bootloader unlocked, I'm trying to get back to marshmallow and then upgrade to nougat and root, I think the Version is a c185 or something like that (it's the Vodafone / vodacom African build ) and I've tried different files using dload but no luck, anyone who could help?

Hello dude,
the OEM button greyed it's not a good thing...
If you tried rollback package method again and did not worked,
at your own total risk (maybe you already f***ed up your phone ) you can try this guide...

Hello dear,
I don't know if the 'demo' version can be unlocked (bootloader code),
but if yes then you can use @k1ll3r8e's TOOLKIT to rebrand to another region (cust)
like C432 european or C636 asian, etc... you just need the correct files.
Once you rebranded then will be possible to upgrade to nougat via Firmware Finder app
or some other tool/script.
P.S.: What version of p9 lite do you have ? L21-L22-L23-L31-L53 ?
Cheers

Well, i think you can rebrand to the european firmware (C432);
both single and dual sim oeminfo files and matching firmwares (B160&B161) available. (see the attachments below)
But, like a told, you need to unlock the bootloader first.
P.S.: you already risked to brick the device trying by your own,
using the toolkit and doing something wrong could turn the device in a paperweight....beware what you do with your device !!!

Dear friend,
I agree with you and completely opposed to paying, but
I believe there are no other ways than giving up a couple of beers and
using DC-UNLOCKER which at the cost of 4 euro reads the bootloader code.
Obviously you only know if it's worth it and definitely remains your choice.
For everything you should / want to do there's a guide you just have to follow.
If you encounter any problems or are unsure about how to do,
you can always meet the community or me in this topic.
I wish you the best !!

Hello,
this happened because you
choose that firmware...
you are very lucky you didn't bricked your device.
You could try to use Firmware Finder again
to revert back to your previous version,
but as i told, you could brick it,
that's your choice.
Another way is unlock the bootloader,
install a custom recovery (TWRP),
flash an OEMinfo file and your correct firmware.
It depends on the android version,
on the region (CUST) in which you live
or for which the firmware has been released
and if the device is single or dual sim.
Good luck dude !
P.S.: took a look and it seems
the link for Hassan's twrp download
is no longer available...
Maybe other twrps are still available,
but i'm pretty sure someone could
repost it for you...
I have tried to reinstall it to my previous version, but it didn't work.

No.
At least up to my knowledge, it is impossible to get the code without a PC (more precisely, you can unlock BL without PC only if you have the unlock code).

You can try flash it with Service ROM Download . Type VNS-L31, or VNS- .
Download correct firmware - EMUI version, Cxxx (the bracketed (Cxxx) is your device’s regional variant.
This number is very important in determining the correct firmware to download. Select your previous Cxxx, not current C00 ) and single/dual SIM (all firmwares that end with even numbers are for dual SIM, odd numbers are for single SIM).
Instructions can be found in 'ReleaseDoc' folder.
If you cannot unpack downloaded zip archive on PC, unpack it in the internal memory using this RAR apk.
Extracted 'dload' folder copy/transfer to the SD card. Good luck.

I forgot the last cxxx of the build number, but the model is l31 for sure, dual sim and comes with Android version 6.0, EMUI 4.1
There's no Service ROM for EMUI 4.1 , you have to flash UPDATE.APP file.

Any forced flash with wrong region will bring your phone to C900 (global) or will brick your phone.
