Plzzz help im stuck I want to rollback my huawei p9 lite VNS-L31 where its build number is NRD90M(test keys) to marshmallow 6.0 help don't know what to do . Plz if you can explain step by step what can i do because i'm not good in these things , My bluetooth not workng , there no calculator , no software updater , i am not able to check if got update or not and so on......, im stuck plz help
Well hey.. first download this rollback package from this link:
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93645&version=371484&siteCode=np
Extract and move all the files to dload folder on your external SD Card then install it with the 3 button method. If there's no dload folder then create one.
So the phone will reboot and now you can downgrade to any mm rom
Now just download this mm rom from this link:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66015/f1/full/update.zip
And again extract and move the files to dload folder on your sd card.. Install with 3 button method.
Done! Everything should work now!
In case If you don't know what the 3 button method is..lol
•Power the phone off ?
•Just press and hold on POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN buttons
The phone will start installing the rom and that's the 3 button method ?❤
this is not working for me. it says incompatibility with current version and to download the correct version.

Man, you have to do entire procedure: unlock bootloader, install twrp for Nougat and flash oeminfo for your phone. Before that you have to put in dload folder MM firmware (B130/B131),
because after flashing oeminfo phone try to repair firmware from dload folder. If repair do not start, power off phone and power on with 3 keys combination.
Hi All,
I'm having a similar issue as lennie27 however I think I might have strayed down an incorrect path during the process of upgrading to Nougat. My device shipped with VNS-L31C16B120 with no updates available through the stock updater. I tried the Firmware Finder guides which listed options for VNS-L31C169B13x and VNS-L31C432B13x however none of these updates would work, updater would say it's incompatible with current version. I also tried manually downloading the VNS-L31C432B160 firmware and installing that with the 3 button method as well as the EngineerMenu option with the same result (found guides that stated needing to be on B160 or B161 before making the jump to Nougat). Eventually I decided to unlock the bootloader and install Nougat through TWRP and followed the obeygeekupdate-huawei-p9-lite-to-android-7-0-nougat-manually guide (can't post links ) on manually installing Nougat (stupidly never paying attention to the fact that it's a beta build guide). I've installed TWRP to the device again using the P9 Lite Toolkit v0.0.0.11 found here on XDA (used this when on MM however the upgrade seemed to restore the stock recovery) with the idea of downloading the build from the ministryofsolutions huawei-p9-lite-vns-l31-nougat-b371-update-stable-europe page and pushing that to the device instead (however now the device doesn't want to boot into recovery)
Now my only concern is, will this work? I've noticed a bit of commenting going back and forth on the ministryofsolutions site which essentially boiled down to the need for debranding the phone (apparently C19 is MTN South Africa specific and I need to debrand it and get it onto C432 Europe before mucking about with Nougat, but alas to late) which seemed to be something I should have done while on MM still. If I can find a full firmware link for VNS-L31C16B120 can I flash that through TWRP without needing to follow any prerequisite steps? So far nothing that I've tried to flash using the three button method has worked, I'd just like to get back onto an official stable firmware again.
Any advice will be appreciated

you need to install nougat recovery, not the one from the toolkit. then twrp will work and the device will boot.
to go back to 120 you need to install oeminfo, and then the update.app

Thank you for the reply, managed to come right a few hours after posting. Turned out the copy of TWRP that I had on hand was more outdated than I thought, downloaded the newest copy and that worked on the device. Additionally I managed to find a website listing just about every firmware for the phone (Including my original MTN ZA specific variant) so I downloaded that and managed to restore the phone using the three button method. Phone is back to stock now and even the unlocked bootloader nag screen is gone so I'm guessing the bootloader is locked again as well One day when I'm brave enough to attempt this again I'll look at debranding the phone and getting it onto a C432 based ROM before getting it onto Nougat again.
phone bricked
hello guys! im currently on lineage os 14.1 by meticulus, i wanna revert back to stock mm but i cant. i flashed the custom rom from mm using twrp recovery by meticulus, but now i cant even boot into erecovery! can you pls help me!:crying: DLOAD method doesnt work!
Hey guys. So this is my final conclusion over my 200 posts I made without any response.
Id like to update my phone to VKY-L09c432B369. My phone is rooted with TWRP3.1.1(i think) and custom kernel (that famous one for huawei p10 plus, just check the forums) and Magisk. Also unlocked bootloader.
But none of the methods avaible to do to update my phone is working.
-dload not working.
-flash zip in twrp not working
-hwota8 method not working
-force power-sound lower-sound higher update not worknig
So I was like f*ck it lets just relock the bootloader and let's install the update that way, right? It should work, right?
But when I "fastboot relock oem xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" my phone only launches into eRecovery. Any idea how to fix it?
I toughed of boot.img reflash but that just doesn't work because in the VKY-L09C432B365 (version I have atm,) there's no boot.img so Idk what to do.
I'd really like this update because it adds face unlock
Thanks for any help.
My experience with oreo:
dload: doesn't work
hwota: doesn't work
force update: doesn't work
There are two methods that works
1) Firmware finder + erecovery click here
2) Flash full firmware with twrp:
Update Oreo to higher Oreo
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962157660013070538
Open zip and copy OREO_FLASH Folder to your external sd card.
Download your wanted firmware and copy into OREO_FLASH folder. Update.zip leave as it is and rename update_data_full_public to update_data_public and the last one to update_all_hw
Then flash oreo_update.zip in OREO_FLASH folder with TWRP
Hope it works for you, I have a P10, this week I ended with frp lock and bricked system and only erecovery, with Firmware finder method I fixed it.
ADVICE: Never relock your bootloader if you are not in stock firmware (a working firmware)

Hello,
Recently a Huawei P9 lite VNS-L21 came into my hands. I experimented a bit with unofficial ROMs but eventually flashed the official back. I had flashed an earlier version, ending in 380 I believe, but because the phone attempted to upgrade to the next incremental update (say, -382) I decided to upgrade myself to the latest supported version (506). I used Firmware Finder to find the firmware and downloaded it to SD card.
Upgrade succeeded - since I had left TWRP recovery in the phone, I used the HuRUpdater which worked flawlessly.
The only small issue is that following this update, a red message is displayed on boot saying the device has failed verification.
Any way to solve this?

Hello,
my doubt is that you flashed a different firmware version from the one you had, thus corrupting the device's oem file. Could you post which was the latest complete firmware without this problem and the last one you downloaded and flashed? ( ex. L21CxxxB382 & LxxCxxxB506 ).
Let me know this info ...
Hi,
I went from l21c432b380 to l21c432b506 during this process. Stock OEM file was flashed before the -380 upgrade (no errors existed, the 380 upgrade followed a flash of -370).
I'm not sure why this is happening - I mean, both firmwares were from the firmware finder app... Weird, to say the least.

Yep, you used correct file but anyhow the firmware has been corrupted.
I think you have some ways to solve...
1 - if you have stock recovery, reboot into it and
download and flash the same latest firmware.
If you do not have it, you can extract (with huawei update extractor) it
(should be recovery1.img) from B506 firmware (update.zip) you already got,
then can be flashed via fastboot commands.
2 - Flash a previous or B380 firmware via HuRUpdater, then
update to latest via Firmware Finder with dns/vpn method.
3 - Repeat the whole job you done with B506 firmware. (via HuRupdater)
4 - Reboot recovery, reflash L21OEMinfo file, dual sim one, then the latest firmware again...
P.S.: method 1, 2, 4 will re-lock the bootloader, no problem if still you got the code...
Beware method 4, after you flash the oeminfo file do not shout down, reboot to bootloader
and unlock it again with the code. Device will reboot into twrp, then flash B506 firmware.
Good luck and let the community know..

Try to install Service ROM from SD card using dload method.
Link:
https://androidhost.ru/41d
Follow instructions in file "ReleaseDoc". (Read everything carefully before doing anything).
Through this process, your data will be deleted and bootloader will be locked again.
Dload method works with Stock Recovery only, you have to install Stock Recovery first.

Hey dude !!
So you bricked the device ....
I don't know why but if you want B412 firmware
you can use @-Alf- guide and re-upgrade via Firmware Finder
to B370 fullota-mf-pv first, then to B412 fullota-mf...
Or download a previous from B412 firmware (ex: VNS-L31C432B410 fullota-mf)
and use HuRupdater method to flash the firmware.
Extract then stock recovery from B410 via Huawei Extractor and flash it via TWRP.
Re-update finally to B412 using Firmware Finder.
I can help you doing this, worked on my ex device but i can't guarantee 100%.
Cheers

Hello,
I reinstalled the custom rom that I found on the net: C432B414 with Hurupdater.
It works.
However, the bootloader is still unlocked ... however, I would like to return to the factory configuration with the bootloader locked.

I have the stock recovery install :
https://www.cjoint.com/c/JItg7SqQmdB
I am currently downloading the file indicated by this link : https://androidhost.ru/41d

Unpack downloaded .zip package, you will see two files - ReleaseDoc and Software. Open "Software" and unpack SDUpdate_Package.tar.gaz. Transfer file dload to SD card and follow instructions - there is 'Software upgrade guidline' in file ReleaseDoc.
Edit.:
You can also safely lock BL with OEMINFO flashing and rollback to A6:
-Download OEMINFO:
https://mega.nz/#!xhEwFYLZ!Sv2nB5GERB_js76sAUWxj8hQgsjnf_YPobVbtrxpCew
Transfer it to the SD Card.
Download VNS-L31C432B160 fullupdate.zip:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66015/f1/full/update.zip
Create a folder dload on your SD , unpack downloaded .zip file and copy it to the dload folder.
Install TWRP 3.1.0-2:
https://mega.nz/#!EsESQQhK!uc_lfXEfDW6U7Lq2VeNOYq5OWUID0G-YyhK-oUL4deU
using command
fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img (OVER eRECOVERY!) , boot in TWRP, fĺash oeminfo.zip , go back to TWRP's main menu, select Reboot and Power Off. Then use three button combo and flash firmware from dload. Your phone will running A6 with locked bontloader. If you want, you can upgrade back to A7 via OTA update or using Fipmware finder.
