Hi everyone!
I just noticed that my P8 Lite ALE-L21C128B130 hasn't been updated since a while and i was wondering why i didn't receive Marshmallow. Turns out my provider does not support P8 Lite anymore hence we didn't receive any OTA. The past two days i've been reading about updating manually and i successfully unlocked my bootloader.
My firmware is ALE-L21C128B130 and i've read on the internet that before the 6.0 update i should put ALE-L21C432B170 on it. I tried it, created a dload folder and put the UPDATE.app in it. Rebooted but i always get the "Software install failed" error and it reboots with the original L21C128B130.
Please help me find a solution for this problem because now i downloaded the third B170 firmware but everytime "Software install failed".
What should i download? Which versions of the firmwares? And do i need to do anything else except putting a dload and selecting "Update from local" in the EMUI menu? I'm putting the dload folder on the internal memory of my phone cause I have a class 4 SD card and i read somewhere that it wont work from that one. My phones internal memory has 2,8GB free space out of 16, could this be the problem? If so what should i delete, cause i checked every folder on it and i just cant find what takes up to 10+GB of storage.
Thanks and cheers from Hungary!

Good day all,
In the process of trying to debrand my huawei P9 Lite I think I may have mad a stuff up.
I downloaded: VNS-L21_C432B120_Firmware_CEE&Nordic European_Channel-Others_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.1_05013RHT.zip
Extracted the files and copied the update.app to the dload folder on the sd card.
Turned off the phone and initiated the update.
It re flashed the phone and everything appeared fine.
Phone no longer has vodafone nonsense on it
It now reports software version as : VNS-C900b150
Any other attempt to update the phone results in "Software is incompatible"
I see on the box the phone is a VNS-L31 - so I think I flashed the incorrect firmare.
I tried Killer8e's toolkit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
But this always displays phone model as unknown.
Is there a way to "force" a flash back to VNS-L31
Forgot to mention: Everything on the phone appears to be working fine in its current state.
Thanks

Have you tried to flash a l31 rom with the dload method?

Just to clarify, The dload method is uncompressing the firmware and copying uppdate.app to a dload folder on the sd card.
If so then yes I have. It gets to 5% and then tells me incompatible software error and reboots.

Well, if you say that your device is fully functional, you can use it like that.
But if you want to restore it I personally think at two options:
1 - Try to force the update by modifying the build.prop and replace the model number (vns-l21 with vns-l31) but you will need a lot of patience
2 - Decompress the update.app and flash partitions manually via fastboot (boot, system, data, recovery, modem, cust and any other partitions are in the update.app)
Thanks for the help.
I will try the fastboot method. I will search for it myself now, but if anyone has a decent howto it would be appreciated.
Hey guys, after i unbrick my phone with one of the pe lite's version available in the web, it's written in the case of version 'NRD90M test-key', for fix this problem I decide the flash the oeminfo, but unfortunately that just get worse, undetected sim card, inability to unistall and even the inability to access the developer settings to unlock oem, I've tried to dload the same version as the oeminfo, but in vain, dload fail.
So the question is, why the dload failed and how to fix the problem, maybe I have an old sd card (class 4)? (I've a p9 lite l21)
Thank you in advance guys !!!
Up
Did you flash the correct oeminfo? It might the problem, check it
I didn't flash the correct oeminfo of the original version of my phone but I tried to flash a l21 oeminfo and update my phone to the same version. I didn't see a problem with that because it's the same hardware.
Try the official rollback package
Hi everybody!
I currently have the B362 stock version installed in my P9 lite, I wanted to use the "dload" method (with UPDATE.APP file copied on SD Card folder) to upgrade my phone to the latest B364 or B370 stock version, however when the phone starts in recovery mode the process stops at 5% and a error message is displayed and the only option is to restart the phone.
This method was previously used to upgrade to B362 version without problems.
Does anyone know where the problem is and how to fix it?
Maybe the update is not compatible with current version.
I have a P8 Lite Ale-L21 which is in good condition. Since 2 months my phone has been notifying me to do update. My phone is running on android 6 marshmallow which I updated to 2 years ago. The build no. of my phone is Ale-l21c185b525. The update for build no. L21c185b574 is available on the updater. So when I tap to update it to that , the updater gives a warning that says :
Your system has been altered.You will have to download the latest full update package to complete the update.
Two options come with it that are cancel and update. I tap update. It just keeps on loading but no update happens.
I have also downloaded firmware files of this build number c185b574. I did the whole process of extracting the zip file into that dload folder of root folder of internal storage. Then I went to the updater and tried to do update. But it still gives that same warning which it gives usually and does not update. It just loads for a minute but then nothing happens. Then I tried to do force update by pressing the power button with the volume buttons. It goes into installing update mode. It goes on 5 percent and then gives a warning which says error installing update and gives a link of emui.com mod restore. I did check out that link. It just redirected me to emui.com of huawei. I have done everything I can to do update. But it seems that my phone is not keeping up to my expectations. So please help me. Its urgent.
The best way in my opinion it's do it through TWRP, so you should unlock the bootloader before
Make sure the FULL update file is in internal and external storage (don't extract UPDATE.APP, just put that file into dload directory on internal and external storage) and then in the updater app choose local update.
im having a huge problem, my mother purchaes a huawei p9 lite a couple of days ago, and its emui 4.1 and android 6.0
she wants to update it to android 7, and since i know thats possible, i tried to do that. but ive met nothing but failure
ive tried using the hisuite and hardware finder method, and all the others but i get the "this update package does not exist" error when downloading update 418.
my version is kind of weird, its vns-l31c432b130 which isnt a version ive seen elsewhere.
help? D:
I have this exact same issue
I have no idea how to upgrade the emui

For dual SIM only!
1. Unlock bootloader , (get unlock code here )
2. Install TWRP 3.0.2.0 (the p9 lite section is full of instructions on how to do it)
3. Download VNS-L31C432B370 fullOTA-MF-PV firmware (2 ZIP files), link:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/D4kV/xcpuDX7Eu/
and copy downloaded files to the SD Card
4.reboot to TWRP, tap Install, Select storage Micro SDCard
5.Flash update с432b370.zip
6. go back without reboot (!!!), flash the additionnal package update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip
7. In TWRP's main menu select Reboot system.
Note: read the instructions carefully, check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda.
After successfully installing EMUI 5, you can upgrade to a higher build number via the dload method and Service ROM
B416
(Instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder).
Good luck!
P.S.:keep in mind that all firmwares that end with even numbers are for dual SIM (odd numbers are for single SIM).
