Upgrade to 5.1 beta?

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?

Help with bootloop (fastboot flash fiasco)

I did a mistake in flashing in fastboot, and now my system is stuck in a bootloop.
I flashed my B180 with B574 (boot, cust, recovery and system.img), and now my phone won't boot. If someone has a firmware for B180, please link it, or if someone could help me in the step, please help me, since it's been two days and I can't use it. I'm on the end of my thread.
EDIT: Now it displays "Installing update" with 5%, and a USB symbol with an up sign. What to do...?

Edit
I searched for B180 firmware and this is what I found. Did you flash p8 lite firmware on p8?

Dual sim, and the update.app inside the dload folder ( no sd card, just internal memory) belongs to b574. the .imgs i used on fastboot was extracted from the very same update.app.
And I am 100% sure that this belongs to an ALE-L21, as my brother successfully updated his B560 without going to fastboot, just by going to local update. But on my case I can't access it.

You have to debrand your phone...
That presume: unlock bootloader + twrp + root + (prepare in dload folder a C432 - B160/B161 firmware) + flash oeminfo C432 + repair firmware with dload folder.
It is a lot to do and somethings may goes wrong resultin in bricking your phone...
If you assume the risks, after that you have a C432 - B160/B161 phone which can be updated to B370/B371 via Firmware Finder.

What you have to do i already said but you have to read arround here to do followings...
1. From anywhere you are (B336, B329, B170-160-130) you have to prepared in dload folder a B160/B161 stock firmware (B160 for Dual Sim, B161 for Single Sim).
2. Flash oeminfo/custom.bin (for SS phone or DS phone ) for your phone localisation: C150, C185, C432.
3. After that firmware become corrupted and need to be repaired from dload folder via 3 keys pressed / dialer code / emui error message.
4. Once you have a functional B160/B161 firmware install Firmware Finder (+proxy addon) and check <Use new firmware> and <Use system updater>.
5. Reconfigure WI-Fi connection from indications in Firmware Finder Proxy.
6. Search for B370/B371 firmware (B370 for DS, B371 for SS) of 1,94 Gb size for your phone localisation and send it to updater.
7. From there it is downloaded, verified and reboot to emui updater wich make his work and bring you B370/B371 firmware.
PS: - for flashing oeminfo/custom.bin i recomand this tool which make that work just fine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
- if you have a flash-able zip of oeminfo/custom.bin i recommend flashing with twrp.

Hi Guys.
Maybe somebody can help here:
I am on B161 and get the OTA Update for B371 - but only the 2.5GB version! And with this update, bluetooth and many more things don't work.
What can I do to Upgrade to nougat? Which Version should I use? How to upgrade correctly?
I don't get the full B371 Upgrade option in the system. And when i Install the B371 Image from Firmware Finder (VNS-L31C432B371 FullOTA-MF-PV) its not working either...
PLEASE help, Nougat has a much better Ram Usage und battery life then MM on my P9 Lite 2GB Variant.....
Thanks!

Nougat has battery drain.

I was on B371 before but had the issue with bluetooth not working etc. Then i did the rollback package and afterwards went back to B161 - so i suppose its not really stock?
I'm just thinking - now i am on B161 and B371 Update is visible for me - but only the 2.5GB variant - and i don't want to update and have the same issues and again do the rollback and loose all my data?
Also i don't really now what it means exactly to be on "Stock" rom - because i think B161 is the actual Stock rom for now?
EDIT: Also i See i have the Firmware VNS-L31 but my Model is actually VNS-L21 so thats weird too.

Stock phone means unaltered phone (firmware official, bootloader lock, stock recovery etc)
If you have VNS-L31 firmware on VNS-L21 phone is not ok... So your phone is altered...

First of all you have to bring your phone on stock condition (VNS-L21C432B131).
After that you have to apply a B161 official update.
And from there, with Firmware Finder you go to B371.

lol ok i did the rollback with the rollback package which obviously only changes the oeminfo to VNS-L31C900B300 (as mentioned in another post to rollback from Nougat to MM)
Now when I try to Install the B131 Package with dload method it says the firmware doesnt fit. The build is not correct for this device
EDIT: i try now to install it via Firmware Finder, lets see if theres better luck with that - Or should I ? The update has only 1,5GB - that confuses me Allthough i selected the FULL OTA

I said earlier: First of all you have to bring your phone on stock condition (VNS-L21C432B131).
That you have to do first!

Man I tried Tried to do the upgrade via dload method - doesnt work. I tried to install B131 via Firmware Finder - didnt work he cant do it - while verifying the update package switches a few times from 0 to 1 % and after some times he says the package is corrupt.
Can I go just higher than B371 to get everything working again?
Or flash back to B131 with some TWRP or something like that?
Or maybe try to flash the B371 with firmware finder again? That version where it says FullOTA-MF-PV (whatever PV means)

If i was you, i do following:
- first, i make sure if my phone is VNS-L21 (very important!)
- put in dload folder on microsdcard, update.app from B161 firmware: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66051/f1/full/update.zip
- flash via twrp oeminfo from this link: https://mega.nz/#!Egl01ZpJ!g1K9xV2yZ4oyoBKxFMOWgghTTUzqLUBoBeXkUboCi-A
- start phone with 3 keys combination and let firmware to repair itself.

Nope, oeminfo must be flashed via twrp or via some tools (for that is need root).
In that oeminfo file is stock oeminfo for installing VNS-L21C432B161 firmware.

Ok... Good luck, but from my experience i think you can not do something right until you flash oeminfo right for your device...

check this:
b182 =ds: 182, 184, 186 and so on....
b183= ss: 179, 183, 185, 187 so on...
-------------------------------------===== follow instructions of below if is bricked
now:
you need unlock bootloader
oeminfo ss
srom b183
twrp
sdcard
1- with a sdcard, create dload folder, then extract b183 and copy update.app + all was folders.
2- enable developer settings and enable oem unlock, poweroff and press vol-+power, then fastboot oem unlock code, then follow the screen(configs)
3- move twrp to c:/adb, with a cmd opened type cd c:/adb press enter, and type fatboot flash recovery recovery.img, finished type fastboot reboot plus pressing vol + till erecovery screen, shutdown and unplug, press vol+ power.
4- insert sdcard and make only a backup of your oeminfo, extract downloaded oem and copy/replace in twrp back folder, then restore in twrp. power off now only do 3buttons method

Thanks foliaje, I have tried WAS-LX1AC432B179 and its not working. The phone boots fine. Basically, I rooted and it tried to update via TWRP and failed. Now trying to restore to stock and getting this error. DO you have a link to the exact firmware that I can try - tried several of them now and its failing.

Ok, I managed to go back to stock by downloading via Firmware Finder. So, dload method via SD Card don't work with this phone or what? Would appreciate if someone can confirm?

Hey foliaje, Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
Let me explain my issue: I have purchased my phone yesterday, it upgraded to 185 (I am assuming it was B183, didn't check) via OTA. Then I almost finished setting up the phone including ROOT but a b187 OTA appeared little bit later but failed because I had TWRP already installed. That's fine, no problem. So wanted to start again like I usually do - download the firmware, put on sd card and off you go......
But the problem with this phone is (and I had quite few Huawei one's including tablets) when I downloaded the full firmware, using the SD card dload method I get "Software Install Failed" but it seemed to have worked when I did it via Firmware Finder (I am on B187 now). So something not right - either something has changed or I need to do something else.
So what's the issue? The only think I can think of here is that you are saying that this phone require a 'service' firmware that does not do authentication or something? Right? I am downloading C432B183 from your link and will see what happens (bit slow).
I really would like to know now so I can get back to stock when I mess things up

OK...I followed as below:
Downloaded http://androidhost.ru/JS
(1) Copied main UPDATE.APP to dload folder
(2) Then renamed WAS-L01A_hw_eu\update_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.app to UPDATE.APP and copied to dload folder
Is above method correct, can we do it in one go?
Anyway, I think it has worked (had to do few reset) but the firmware version was showing WAS-LX1AC432B179 - is that correct? OTA upgraded to WAS-LX1AC432B185

Thanks dude, appreciate your help.
Now - any ideas why the firmware finder firmware's don't work on this phone via dload method?

In the UK and have exact same model. Filmware finder did not work for me also. The one in the link below did though! Its the first download you need. Copy the update.app and the folder 'L01A' to the 'dload' folder on your sd card. Does your phone boot? If so in the dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose software upgrade then sd card update, it will then flash the filmware to pure stock.

Yes, its all good now. Bizarre - Huawei making things difficult now. Which TWRP are you using? Can the TWRP backup function works for you i.e. encryption disabled?
