Update B181 to android 6.0

Hello
I have the p8 lite ALE-21FRAC530B181 with android version 5.0.1, and the EMUI is 3.1.1
I want to upgrade it to android 6.0 but when I start the installation, I have an error message right away. I used the file provided here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/guide-huawei-p8-lite-downgrade-to-5-0-t3381013
and here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994
So I tried to update to B188 first, but I had the same problem.
I unlocked the bootloader, so maybe the issue come from there. Also it is not simlock
any help will be welcome
Thanks

So according to this tuto https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994.
I have to unbricked the phone before convert into dual sim.
But when I launch minimal ADB and fastboot and enter this lines of code :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
I have the message "waiting for devices" but I have already installed hisuite so I should have all the driver installed. I unlock the bootloader too. When I go in fastboot mod, there is "phone unlock" written.
What can I do ?

Your pc is not identifying your device as connected and hisuite doesn't come with fastboot drivers... Check device manager (of Windows Pc if you have)
And find FastBoot.2.0 driver and update it from Windows update

ok so I have now all the drivers but there is still the message "waiting for device". Do I need to extract the image from a specific update.app ? Or is it just the procedure very long ?
thank you a lot for your help :good:

You need to extract UpDate.App...four images CUST,SYSTEM,BOOT,RECOVERY and have your device in fastboot mode connected to your pc

Yes I know that, and I have already tried.
My questions were: which UPDATE.app I must use for the extracion ? Does it matter ?
And, how long is the unbricking ? 10min, 30min, or several hours ?

well it is not working, I checked my devices manager and I attach a screenshot (it is in french...) with the detail of the driver. There is an exclamation point close to "android bootloader interface"

Hmmm.....Try to uninstall this driver....(Both of them) connect your device again and you should get a notification of installing Fastboot2.0 driver...Install it...or let windows update install it and then check if it helps
And yes before uninstalling try to Update this android bootloader interfaces driver

P9 Lite no ROM - how to fix this?

Hi,
i have a P9 Lite here where i flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0 and LineageOS. I just want another ROM and wiped the internal Storage, including system, data etc.
After this, i get an mount error while i tried to install the Elite ROM, so i decided to reboot and try it again.
Now, the TWRP starts up, but i have no screen on the P9 Lite, but "adb devices" shows me the device.
I also have tried to install TWRP 3.1.1 with the same result. Only the stock recovery gives an screen.
What can i do now?
I hope it's not bricked and i hope i can fix it with my only Linux System.
For any information, just ask.
Thanks a lot!

Maybe with DC Phoenix, in fastboot upgrade mode. I can give you my id and password if you want.

Yeah, fastboot is available!

OK, so first, go in fastboot mode, open a cmd fastboot and write "fastboot reboot Bootloader".
If your phone is locked : write : "fastboot oem unlock :your Bootloader code:
Then, download the rollback package MM, and flash the recovery of B160 update (huwaei extractor)
Then, flash the C432 oem info ( fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfodual.img), unlock your Bootloader again and flash the recovery TWRP .
After, you can flash your rom, I recommend C432 B160 MM.
Good luck!

Hi,
thank you for your Tutorial, but this does not work, or i do it wrong, so i repeat my steps:
- shutdown the p9 lite
- press vol- and plugin usb cable
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- extract the UPDATE.app file, which i downloaded from huawei, this one: http://consumer.huawei.com/np/support/products/downloads/detail/p9lite-np.htm?id=93645
- i get the following files: crc.img, curver.img, efi.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img, sha256rsa.img, verlist.img, version.img
- i downloaded the oeminfodual from here: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=23848404#post23848404, because it was not in the .app file from huawei
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the one from the .app file from huawei)
- fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfodual.img
- fastboot oem unlock (which fails, because the phone already is unlocked)
- fastboot flash recovery twrp311.img, which i downloaded from the thread on xda.
after all this steps, the phone is still not loading the recovery.
did i anything wrong, or is the phone dead?
thanks!

After oeminfo changing you need unlock BL again, it's a normal procedure.
Edit: you can try install Service ROM from SD card with three buttons combo. What is your build number ?

so unfortunately this phone has no fastboot command except unlock or relock bootloader
i hope you don't have recent 20g firmware. If that so, you can install LG Bridge to update your phone to latest OS (I believe laf/download mode will restored) then try to root again carefully.
if you already using latest 20g firmware then wait untill T-mobile release new update so you can update it via LG bridge

Hello dude,
sorry if i wrote this but you posted in a wrong place.
You should have posted in questions&answers main thread,
as you can see this is guides, news and discussion thread.
Ask some moderator to move it to the correct thread ..
You could, perhaps, add some information on how the device ended up in this condition ..
What firmware was the last working?
Do you have a twrp recovery? if yes which version?

I tried to install twrp but I messed around. i tried several firmware but they didn't boot. I can't get into recovery, it just goes into fastboot

Ok Domenico,
fastboot commands should be sufficient to restore the device,
but you should say which was the last stock / custom working firmware,
(ex. VNS-L31C432B380 or ex. LineageOS 14.1) or at least the android version.... 6 / 7.
Cheers

Domenico, this is not possible.
B130 is a basic version of android 6.
Android 7 starts from B3xx and above...
Is your device single or dual sim ?
I can provide you a firmware, but it's a bit dangerous
to use without right knowledge of actual firmware version.
Make a little effort and try to remember ..

As you told me you probably had the B389 firmware,
so i will provide you that one...
From your PC download those three files..
1 - update.zip
2 - update_data_full_public.zip
3 - update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip
Rename file 2 from update_data_full_public TO update_data_public.
Rename file 3 from update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu TO update_all_hw.
Let file 1 the same name.
Download THIS SCRIPT (HuRUpdater0.4zip file).
Create a folder and rename it VNSL31C432B389.
Copy all 4 file you downloaded into the folder you created (VNSL31C432B389)
If you want keep TWRP (now recommended),
copy the .img file of the recovery into that folder, otherwise proceed with instruction...
Copy your VNSL31C432B389 folder into the SD card of the phone..
Reboot into the twrp, hit install, find out your folder (VNSL31C432B389),
choose only HuRUpdater0.4.zip file and let it flash.
You may have to follow some instructions on screen if needed, flashing could take many minutes, keep calm...
When rebooting, device could go in a bootloop !!!
If after 20 minutes it hadn't booted, press vol+ and power till it reboot into recovery.
Make a factory reset and everything should be good. Good luck...
I would recommend to read at least a couple of times before do... take your time...
