Which firmware?

Just got a P8 Lite delivered from Carphone Warehouse UK. Its an unbranded unlocked model.
It states model number - ALE-L21 and the build number is - ALE-L21C432B133
I assume its an older version but there is no OTA available for it. Not sure if this is the dual sim EU version or not. Which version should I use to update? Any reason why no OTA or is it because its on an older version and it's missed it?
Thanks in advance.

ALE-L21C432B133 It's Europe single sim, latest update is B171 or B183.
Use anything you want to update, just follow the correct procedure (on XDA u can find it all)

Thanks I will have a search around.

Don't see why the latest is not available via OTA though? Even with HiSuite it says latest is installed (B133)

ALE L2TURC02B140 TR/ vodafone ?

You need the branded one from vosdafone to update, or follow a guide to debrand then use the one you like.

Can't help as thought the phone was rubbish after just 4 hours of use so sold it already and got a 2015 Moto G instead.

Chinese stock ROM to International

Hi guys,
There's an offer from aliexpress for the P9 Lite but from the feedbacks, the phone is coming with a chinese firmware. Well, you can set the language you want but some people say it still has some chinese stuff.
Would it be possible to Flash the phone with the lastest official Rom (international) from Huawei ? With this tool ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...pe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873/page53
I've made some search and came with a tutorial with dload and just an sdcard with the content of the new ROM. Is it just simple as that ? Will it erase every chinese stuff and put Google Play Store ?
Thank you very much.

First, which model is it? There are some particular chinese model that have a different chipset so it may be incompatible with international firmware.

I have a VNS-L23 model can i flash the international firmware on it
Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L23 using Tapatalk

Yes you should be able to do it. I don't have the link at the moment, but if you search Huawei Firmware Finder you can find a tool to search all Huawei firmware. The European ROM is c432 and the international one is the c900

Thanks i debranded last night and my phone is currently saying VNS-L31C432

Theorically if he flashes c432 oeminfo it should work.
The AL00 version is a different phone with a snapdragon chipset so be very careful.

No. You can't . Different hardware. You may brick your device.

I have a vns-l23 on build vns-l23c45b130, would it hurt anything to flash the international rom (c900)?

Proxy method?

Better let someone else handle the updating, seeing as you're don't like reading too much.

Dude, don't be salty because getdroidtips isn't clear.
I managed to update btw, close this topic

Dude use Firmware Finder app and dns/vpn method
to try to force the upgrade ( try to use B361 FULL OTA-MF PV first ).
If all will take right direction, then use same method to update to
B502 (dual sim) or B503 (single sim) FULL OTA-MF version.
See the attachtments and good luck.
Cheers

Dear,
huawei never planned to forward oreo official upgrade to p9 lite ( 2016 aka venus model ) users,
so do not waste your time looking for this, it simply doesn't exists...
B502 ( dual sim ) / B503 ( single sim ) are latest Nougat firmware.
Cheers

Firmware Finder is down bro, definitively. You can try to upgrade using dload method. Download Service ROM for dual SIM
and flash it, instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder. This process will erase all your data (and lock the bootloader again) !
I hope you have Dual SIM variant. If not, let me know.

Stock ROM for my P9 Lite

Hello there,
I have a P9 Lite VNS-L31 with build VNS-L31C432B160, EMEUI 4.1.1, Android 6.0.
For some reasons, the update menu tells me that there is no update for my phone.
I know this is not true because I can see people on the same P9 Lite with EMUI 5.x, so my question is the following, is there a way to find and flash the latest stock ROM available for my phone ?
(I used to have Samsung mobiles and look at samfirmwares websites to find my stock ROMs)
Cheers

Anyone ?

Your starting version was VNS-L31C432B160 ?

Have you tried Firmware Finder from the Play store?

Nope, I switched to this version to enable dual sim on my single sim phone.
But I don't need dual SIM anymore, and just would like to have the latest official version available.
