Hello Everyone, I have ALE-L21 and my current firmware is C185B130 (apparently C185 is UAE region but i live in pakistan). Device is bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed.
I have a TWRP backup of current rom. I wanna try the 5.1 beta released for Europe but it says here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/beta-firmware-p8-lite-ale-l21-c432b008-t3243228 ) that i need C432B132 to upgrade to this. So I downloaded this firmware(C432B132) from Huawei website. There were two folders in it, dload and CUSTOM(not sure what that for). I extracted system.img, recovery.img, CUST.img, boot.img from UPDATE.APP given in the dload folder. So here is what i'm thinking.
1) Flashing the extracted system.img, recovery.img, CUST.img, boot.img would get me to C432B132?
2) After i install B132 can I upgrade to 5.1 using EMUI local update?
3) If something goes wrong, can I just flash TWRP and restore the backup?
-
Or this whole idea is foolish and i would screw up my phone after flashing system, cust and boot of some other firmware designed for some other region???

No this is wrong
1. You need to downgrade to B052
2. Install B136a
3. Install B008(Android 5.1.1)
After each install is recommended to make wipe
Thanks

I dont think that you need to go all the way to B052 and then flash the required version
This is what i did:
1) Flashed 132 cust, recovery, boot, system. My build number changed to something like balong ( I dont remember exactly :silly: ).
2) I flashed the UPDATE.APP file that was in the CUSTOM folder (that came with B132 rar file) via EMUI and it restored my build to B132.
3) Tried updating to 5.1 via EMUI but failed.
4) To give it a last try, I downloaded and flashed my phone with CUST, recovery, system, boot.img of B136a and then the update worked. My phone is now 5.1.1 B006
Thanks for the reply mate :good:

yeah its working fine. I think the battery life has improved a little bit or maybe it is just because i haven't installed much apps after flashing this rom compared to when I was using the B130. The only thing i miss from B130 is that small 2g, 3g written on the signal bars. This one only shows the 2g or 3g network type when the mobile data is turned on. Huawei cloud is also not present in it so you may wanna backup your contacts and stuff

Give It a try. If i doesn't work then you can just flash 132->136 and then apply update. But there maybe some problem with the version number changing to "BALONG". I faced this problem when I flashed 132 over my 130 but then I applied UPDATE.APP file(the small file in the custom folder) via EMUI Updater and it fixed the version number. But the 136a rom did not had any UPDATE.APP in custom folder so I dont know what to do if you get a version number problem. You can try flashing the 5.1 update via EMUI and maybe it will fix the version number problem (if it happened in the first place) or you can always goto 132->136 and apply 5.1

yes you need to unlock the boot loader. What exactly do you mean by double tap issue? are you talking about the double tap to wake feature not working sometimes? Yes the DoubletapToWake dont works sometime which can be very annoying so I just disabled that feature and using the power button ever since. As for the typing issue, No I'm not facing any typing issues, never did on the B130 and not on this 5.1 version. Try using someother keyboard app?

I have c185b130, there is c185b131 update on consumer.huawei.com for UAE region uploaded on 31-12-2015, will it work on my device? What are the changes in c185b130 and c185b131?
Warning : I am not responsable for any bricked devices, dead sd cards, or other issues, I just wanted to share this, because I know, there are many Honor 5x KIW-L21 C185 users, and this, in my case, worked.
Warning :
***This will turn your device into a single sim phone.***
This WILL CHANGE your CUST version to 432.
Because I couldn't wait anymore for the official MM update from Huawei. I managed to install EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0.1 on my KIW-L21 C185, Middle East Version following this steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67851428&postcount=2 .
1. You need to install TWRP, obviously . http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19454
2. Download mm-update from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19446 and extract files, you should be seeing 2 image files : TZ.img and MODEM.img .
3. Download and install Huawei Update Extractor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 .
4. In my case, I downloaded this firmware here http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=84663&version=327467 .
5. Now, using the Huawei Update Extractor, open the downloaded firmware and extract BOOT.img , CUST.img , SYSTEM.img on your computer.
6. Reboot phone in recovery mode and make a full TWRP backup.
7.Wipe data/factory reset and then wipe system, Data, Cache, Cust, Dalvik/Art Cache.
8. Install, and in the bottom of the screen, choose install image as following:
I. BOOT.img install to Boot.
II. CUST.img install to cust_image.
III. SYSTEM.img install to system_image.
IV. TZ.img install to tz_image.
V. MODEM.img install to modem_image.
9. After installing all of the above files, just reboot and there it is.
Untill now, I haven't found any bugs or issues, except that in the 'About Phone' panel at Model Number it doesn't say anymore KIW-L21 , but says 'MSM8916 for arm64'.

Only thing I didn't try is going back to stock C185 Rom.
Also,didn't try flashing others rom,because I really like how it's working on EMUI 4.0

I'm not sure, I would try going back to stock rom first , as I not know how would it affect flashing over CM. Try to revert to stock first , than do update,than flash CM again.

Download this https://mega.nz/#!Q0YQmIQD!KSwQvGymMUf-YA4A5oDFBvg12UwQlPDm5dIOdTDsEjc
You should be seeing either an archive either the update.app file, wich is the stock b130 rom.
Now, copy the update.app on the sd card into a folder called dload ( If you don't see it, just create it ).
Power off the phone, then press at the same time volume +, volume - and power and it should install the stock b130 rom. Next just do the update to b140 through the updater and reinstall twrp and try again .
If while updating you encounter any errors , try reinstalling stock recovery first.

Thank you so much
So,
My phone is vns-l21c66b131 and is there any way to update to newer versions without rooting and if possible can someone write steps on how to do it?
If you use <SEARCH> you find followings:
<After a few day of reading users personal experiences regarding upgrade to Android 7 Nougat i make the big step myself...
My device is VNS-L21 model and entire process goes flawless...
Device state was stock MM VNS-L21C432B150, bootloader lock, dualsim enabled.
1. Unlock bootloader folowing by Automatic Factory Reset.
2. Flash TWRP
3. From TWRP i flash Meticulus TWRP
4. Reboot to TWRP and flash update.zip and update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip, both flash ends with errors, without reboot between flashes.
5. After that, i reboot device and boot in system ok, start configuration, etc.
6. I reboot to fastboot and flash Nougat Recovery reworked by @BadWolfYe
I am not experienced camera bug, all works fine and i have now a fully functional phone.
BTW, dualsim remain enabled and works both sims.
Thanks to all contributors for these pieces of firmware, first of all to @BadWolfYe!>
For that's is <SEARCH>, not to open another topic for same problem...
Thanks for the reply, but I'm not talking about Nougat, I talk about MM b161 update. How to do it if my carrier is c66 and the newest update there is b131

If you want to stay on C66 you have to wait to OTA updates...
If you make any upgrade via dload folder on sdcard your phone will go from C66 to C900 (global)
Another alternative is to debrand your phone to C432 (hw eu)
For any of this is treated here in some topics...
So I just need to create dload folder and put the zip there?

Hi, I will show you the most easiest way to get oreo update (emui 8).
you must have installed twrp and unlocked bootloader.
1. Download this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3470823
2. Press 7 then 9, next 7 and 5.
3. Now download 2 files: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1276/g104/v64076/f1/full/update.zip thanks to @jithendrav83
https://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92135 <- first
4. flash it by dload method
thats all. Now update your phone by huawei built-in updater or firmware finder.
But for me the best option is unlocking bootloader again, root then flashing by this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
(method 2)
VIDEO OF EMUI 8 ON HONOR 8:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVe9gsyVxd0&feature=youtu.be
As you wrote, then the update will wait forever.
At this location you can, because. on the Russian version in the folder "cust" is your region. I recommend that you visit the Russian forum 4PDA.RU
Hi,
Would this work on Honor 8 single Sim device (I've FRD-L02)?

As per my guide, you only lose it if you're rebranding to AL/DL (chinese). Rebranding from L02, L04 to L09 is perfectly safe (I'm running L09C10 on my L04)
So best way to get Oreo on L04 is to rebrand with this method and redlotus to the Russian EU firmware and everything will work?
Hi,
I rebranded FRD-L02 to FRD-L19C10 and tried above steps. Installed Oreo by redlotus method. But got "data corrupted" menu and I formatted data. Now phone won't boot. Then I tried unlocking bootloader and phone booted. But sw version still shows B95 and its on Oreo. Looks like cust/region part is not flashed. Tried installing Twrp 3.2.1.0 and the one in Multi-tool, but phone won't boot to recovery. Its going into error mode. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

If you look at the XML File you used for the RedLotus method, you can see that there are two versions in it (L09C10 and L19C10). I suppose that's the reason why it's bugging for you.
Don't know for sure though. Trying that method now too, will report back if that's really the problem.
I dont have windows pc but Mac. How can I rebrand?

Why redlotus? Do it as in tutorial. Download three packages then flash by tutorial in my thread.(link is there). I meant flashing by modified Huawei recovery.

To rebrand, you need an unlock bootloader.
1. Download the C10 oeminfo file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VtOeGQ9GnKvcSVgraPP6-go6HCRbpyBB/view?usp=drivesdk. It is a zip file, extract it to find an img file. Reboot to TWRP and select Install Image and install the file to oeminfo partition.
2. Perform a complete factory reset in TWRP.
3. Download the latest Nougat (3 files package) for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Flash it using HuRupdater https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...l-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/.
4. After the flash is complete, reboot the device, unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP.
5. Download the latest Oreo build for FRD-L09C10 through Firmware Finder. Using HuRupdater flash the three Oreo firmware files. Don't perform a factory reset this time.
6. Reboot your device. You're now on Oreo.

Doesn't work for me. Always results in a bootloop with "Your device is unlocked..." etc.
Same with RedLotus too. I don't know if it's the firmware you linked or the recoveries, but ehh... nah, probably gonna go back to where I was before.

I tried out some of the EMUI 8 TWRP's that I could find but none works for the Honor 8 yet.
Would be grateful for a working one too.

Just to be clear, since I prefer not to f this up...this will pretty much let me rebrand from FRD-L04 without the need for a computer correct? Also these step you've laid out don't require any of the steps posted in the OP?
So, I just rooted my Huawei P Smart, the 136 update shows up, it does all the install steps, reboots and then says it failed. Do O need to do something on the twrp boot?
Download the full firmware, we lose the option to just update via normal update and we can update with a full system update

Just did that, 2 GB download, tries to install, reboots, goes to twrp, then I reboot to normal system and still says update failed.
Pretty sure you'll need stock recovery to update the "normal" way.

I'm not an expert - I always use HuRUpdater to update. It just requires you to download the (exact) right files, renaming them correctly and (like rooting with Magisk) just simply flashing a single .zip in recovery. In case you try it out, remember rule#1: Always make sure you have a (nandroid)backup.
Here are the relevant lines from my "Huawei-related-findings" text file:
#update
"Depends on how you rooted.
For a successful OTA install your device probably must meet the following criteria
• HUAWEI stock recovery installed
• unaltered /system, /product and /vendor partitions
So if you rooted with a "systemless" method (e.g. Magisk, recent SuperSU) and haven't done other installs/modifications that typically change /system you could try it. And you have to flash stock recovery (i.e. get rid of TWRP temporarily for the OTA install)."

#update
“It's recommended to use a proper custom recovery (with running oeminfo_nvm_server service) like for example*my version of TWRP.
How to use:
Warning: Make sure you know what you are doing and do not flash firmware from other devices.
1. Download firmware files (for official firmware use Huawei Firmware Finder).
2. Put files you want to flash in a seperate folder on sdcard.
Supported zip files to flash are (name must match):
◦ update.zip (use FullOTA file)
◦ update_all_hw.zip
◦ update_data_public.zip
3. Optional: Put recovery.img in same folder if you want to keep custom recovery.
4. Put HuRUpdater zip in same folder.
5. Select*only HuRUpdater*to flash in custom recovery.
6. Follow instructions on screen. Flashing can take multiple minutes.
Problems:
• If firmware includes factory reset
◦ Factory reset is not supported by custom recovery. Therefore HuRUpdater will flash stock recovery before launching factory reset. After flashing firmware and doing factory reset, you need to flash recovery manually.”

Yes, I'm im the same boat - I guess you also get the "can't have connection" error using the FF app. During the last weeks they had troubles with their service regarding hackers and moving to a new server (according to their telegram group), which have been fixed ("all services working normally now"), and many can use it again - for whatever reason some still can't connect. I tried reinstalling the app, using proxies from different countries - still doesn't let me connect.
But their web interface is working: https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ though you can't check iirc, if the firmware has been approved for your IMEI.
According to this post:

It's online now! I suggest you to download the "2018.08.30" .158 "2379" release, if you have a FIG-LX1, L31 board phone.

You apparently can download this release (2379) if you own this device/board- though the last time I updated mine (.148) I used the 2079 (154226) one despite owning the exact same device. I'm slightly confused about this
I didn't try the above mentioned update myself.

Try installing an older version of the Firmware Finder app - I switched from (current) v9.0 to v8.9 and it works now
