Hello,
I've updated my vns l21c432 from b160 to b370 using firmware finder (full ota update). Everything is working great. I just have one question if anybody knows. Will I receive future official updates via OTA with this build ?
Thanks.
No one knows for sure at this point in time, but probably yes!
Hello friends,
Today I decided to upgrade my p9 lite dual sim to nougat. The build i was on was the L21-b160 and the updater showed no updates, so I downloaded the firmware finder app.
Since I am a bit new to this, I thought that the b161 would be a newer version of the b160, so i downloaded it with proxy. The update went fine. However, since then, I cannot install a newer ROM version. They all stop at 1% and say 'update failed'. At the moment, I am on VNS-L21C432B161. And ideas of how to install a nougat build?
Thank you all in advance.
Hey guys, I have been trying to help my friend who owns a P8 lite, to upgrade his firmware because his phone is in a buggy state where the wi-fi doesn't show any network at all, he can only use data..., and any OTA updates fail.
He is currently on ALEL21C22B190 version. First of all when I was searching for europe firmwares, they all had the C432 code, so I have prepared 3 firmwares for this route:
ALE-L21C432B204 -(5.0.1. to be ready to receive Marshmallow)
ALE-L21C432B564 -(Initial Marshmallow firmware)
ALE-L21C432B636 -(Latest Marshmallow firmware)
So my first question is this. If I do the standard SD card Update.APP way of upgrading, will the C22 current version allow me to install the C432 version?
If not I have downloaded this C22 version, (which I couldn't find easily) ALEL21C22B582 for a marshmallow version.
What do you think guys? Am i thinking this correctly? Will the C432 versions work?
And what the hell is wrong with his wi-fi sensor!
Edit: Foundout from here that C22 is for China,Europe apparently, but the lack of C22 downloads intrigues me.
My phone had to be repaired last week, and the Huawei repair service changed everything in the phone except for the backplate.
However, I am now stuck with emui 4.1.2 in firmware VNS-L31 C432 B226, and i can't find a replacement firmware for the system.
The phone shows no update available in stock.
I have TWRP and magisk installed atm, just so i could try and get a different firmware with emui 5.1 or 5.0 at least, which I did to no avail.
Is there any way to find the correct firmware compatible with this phone?
Googling this firmware gives me no clues as to the correct path to updating this phone.
Should i use an adb/fastboot command prompt to update it, or use the dload method, or even the extract the SYSTEM.img from UPDATE.app method?
I just don't want to revert to an "earlier" version of the firmware with the dload method just to have my phone bricked.
These are the firmware i tried already:
[TO BE UPDATED]
TL/DR:
I have a Huawei P9 Lite repaired to a stock:
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 B226
EMUI: 4.1.2
in Portugal.
I want to know a compatible firmware or series of firmware patches so i can get
Firmware: VNS-L31 C432 Bxxx
EMUI: 5.xx
Thank you for your time.
Hello,
it's strange that with an unbranded european firmware your phone didn't upgraded to android 7....
Anyhow i never done a forced upgrade but if i were you i wil try with HWOTA update, like explained in this thread.
So first make all your necessary backups, then unroot and finally follow the guide to upgrade.
P.S.: If your phone is dual sim try install B370, if single sim try with B371.
All the best

I tried a bunch of firmwares for emui 5.1 that didn't work, or which had NFC and bluetooth not working. I ended up downgrading to B160, and am now reupgrading to B370 after checking that both of the previously mentioned are working properly. I will update on this issue asap.
Also, it seems like the firmware I originally had was updated in march 2018, so it was really an updated official firmware with emui 4.1. What a weird setup. Could it be to make sure the NFC and bluetooth would be working? I just don't know...

Yeah, downgrading to B160 should be a good choise..
Use then stock updater to look forward

I did it and it worked, however i flashed the recovery partition of version VNS-L31C432B380 with TWRP and now can't do a OTA update to B388.
Should I extract the recovery img from a b380 FULLOTA update and flash it to my recovery partition with fastboot?

Hey,
surely without stock recovery OTA updates won't work,
so yes try flash it with fastboot, then update to the latest/wanted firmware and finally unlock bootloader,
flash custom recovery and root (even if wanted).
Best regards
Hi there, im currently on the leaked oreo beta on my A2017G but since this month there should be the official oreo out i wish to rollback to stock. Do i just need to flash latest rom on it? Do i need to relock the bootloader and remove twrp to get new ota updates?
