Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L21 - How to enable second sim - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello everyone ! I own a P9 lite and its about to run out of its warranty period so its time to do something I have held back from since the day I bought this phone.
I want to enable the second sim slot on the phone but I am not quite sure how to do this.
A colleague told me I can download a file for my phone tha usually goes by the name of update.app and I can update the phone thru the boot menu.
Is this true and if it is do I need the L31 file in order to enable the second sim slot ?
I am totally new to this type of intervention I have always kept my devices stock and untouched in order to retain warranty.

Bricked Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21

First of all i don't know where to post,so sorry if i post in the wrong forum.
I have a huawei p8 lite ale-21 which had android 6.0 with emui 4.1(or 4.0 idk very well).I wanted to unlock the phone,and for that i had to unlock the bootleader,root and install the ROM for dual sim.Bootloader goes great,i didn't have problems in this point.But when came the root,i saw a video(i suppose to use kingroot for more safety),but i didn't see that in the video the phone was with android 5.0 and emui 3.1.The phone was in bootloop.I installed TWRP(3.0.0.2 version).I put in the sd this os:HUAWEI P8 Lite Dual SIM Firmware (ALE-L21, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C185B525) and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip.Finally,i rooted my phone from TWRP.Then i tried to install the os with dload folder in micro sd but it didn't work.I put the phone back in TWRP,wipe the cache and malwik,and install the software.But finally,when all get done i get my phone brick:no led charghing,no vol up+vol down+power button,no vol down+power button,effectively damaged.Computer can't recognize the phone,so i can't use cmd.When i connect the phone at laptop i get for few minutes an usb device(i will attach the picture) but disippears after 5 minutes.I installed the drivers,but nothing happened.Also,the phone doesn't charge via usb or charger.
Guys,I have searched all the time various methos,but all include recovery(vol down+power).If you know what my phone just happend and how to unbrick,please reply.Maybe they are some programs to unbrick that don;t allow to enter in system recovery.I really want to make this phone allive again.
Thank you guys very much!

You bring it to them saying that "my phone doesn't turn on". They can't see if your bootloader is unlockedo or not simply because the phone is dead. They have to change your motherboard and now you will have a new phone.

thank you for your information.when i will bring them the phone i will tell you what happened
today I brought the phone to customer.she said tomorrow she will sent the phone to service,I will need to wait 15 days and the service will send me an e-mail with the process.i told to customer 'that is a problem with the battery,i can not turn on the phone' and that's what she wrote to warranty.i am very nervous about the guys from the service,i hope they will don't find a way to see that I moficated the OS.i keep you guys with the news!
My phone is back to live!I went to take my phone from the shop.On the bill it writes that they have intervened to the phone.I think they changed the battery and wrote the OS.I am glad that i have my phone back!

Huawei p9 lite dont works

Hi i wanted to unlock the dual sim in my huawei p9 lite, I saw several forums on how to do it, unlock the bootloader, then I put a twrp recovery and I had already cleaned cache, I did backup everything, I put the free rom in the micro sd, I was updating I ended up did not give any problem said it was going to restart and no longer turned on the screen but when I connect it to the pc the hi suite is opened as if it worked and it's been a while since I broke the screen I used a program called wondershare mirror go and I would use it thinking it was a bug with the screen but the application from the PC says that the device is damaged, some solution. (i dont have much money to buy new one)

P9 Lite VNS-L22 Bricked - No bootloader, don't know the cust

Hi everyone! I need some help here, I have a Huawei p9 lite VNS-l22, from my uncle, this phone is in a bootloop, after a few reboots, it enter in E-recovery mode, but don't fix the problem
I can't unlock bootloader, because, huawei stopped sending codes
Another problem that I have, is that I don't know which is the "Cust" of the phone, because, it never completely boot, so I can't see it in settings
Apparently, It entered in this "situation" during a failed update
Thanks!

Hello,
try a factory reset from e-recovery..
Yes you could unlock the bootloader via paid service,
but you cannot because you cannot access
the developer options and tick the oem unlock...
Do you remember if the device was on android 6 or 7 before the bootloop ?
Which region do you live ? (for the cust)

Hi! sorry for late response!
I´m not sure if it was android 6 or 7
I live in Venezuela, Latin America, what do you recommend, without unlocking bootloader, e recovery factory reset doesnt work

Don't worry dude,
we can reply when we find time for...
Important !! READ BEFORE DO ...
I made a little search and think you
have a couple possibility...
1 - bring your device to a service point but it will cost you money.
2 - try flash a firmware and pray your phone someway will come back to life...
You have nothing to lose, try doing this ...
Download THIS FILE (update.zip).
Unzip it and extract update.app file.
Take an SD card with at least 4gb and format as FAT32.
Then inside that SD card create a folder and rename it DLOAD.
Put update.app file into DLOAD folder and insert the SD inside the device.
Turn off the device then turn it on holding vol+ vol- and power buttons together
till a flash screen will appear...
If it goes well you will have a device with a corrupt but functioning firmware ...
At this point you'll be able to unlock the bootloader (it will cost 4 euros),
make a complete rebrand (asian L22 version) and have a full functioning device..
If something will not go as expected, only way is bring the device to a service point...
Choise remain yours..
Cheers

Huawei p8 lite IMEI is gone (Please help I need this device working while my new phone arrives)

Hello, this is my phone story: I had a Samsung S9 which screen died, I was thinking on getting another phone, so I bought a new phone which is going to take a while to arrive and I had no phone so i found this Huawei p8 lite laying around and I tried to get it working, but its all screwed up because some years ago I was trying to install another rom and I flashed something that I shouldn't, ended up hardbricking the device (red and green light flashing, faastboot not working) I managed to recover it by getting it into testpoint and then booting xloader & fastboot and flashing the stock firmware with a hisilicon tool, the device was alive but the IMEI was gone for good, I didn't looked much into it and leave it.
Today I wonder if I could recover the IMEI, I have the number but I don't have the partitions so I have no idea how to recover it, I have tried HCU tool to write the number without success.
If someone culd provide me the partitions or something it would be helpful.
Any Help would be very nice, Thanks!
