Roll back from Elite Rom to Stock Rom - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello, i have a mobile Huawei P9 lite model VNS L31 Single Sim. Two months ago I have flashed EliteRom and I didn't have any problems. Recently I wanted to install the stock rom but I couldn't. I tried to go back to Stock from 7.6 with dload, but keep getting an "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version". I tried with firmware finder app but dns method don't work. Sorry for my bad english but I hope you can help me!

Hello,
Search for the Huawei Recovery Updater thread,
download the .zip and your rom.
The guide is within the thread.
Pay attention and choose the correct rom, they are three files (FULL OTA - MF)
If you have any doubts about the rom let me know.
Neither the developers of HuRU nor I will take any responsibility
for what you do with your device.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply! but I have to download all three files (and what's the difference between the three)?
Then it's better if you install a previous version and then update or can I directly download the latest (of stock roms)?

I tried to download the B389 . I put the files in a folder in the SD (renaming them as they should) but after flashing i need to restore my phone. i try by twrp but it gives me an error "Failed to mount '/data (invalid argument)", Unable to mount storage

Well dude here i am.
Let's have to say and apologize for this....
before any attempt of flashing you should have done a full nandroid backup
and also know how to go back to stock. Maybe it's not your case.
So, i suggest you a method but you never wrote the firmware you had before
installing EliteRom.
The difference between the roms are ( obviously ) security patches and various fix, etc..,
as well as different versions for single and dual sim.
I wish ask you two questions:
What was the latest stock firmware your device was on and
are your DATA filesystem EXT4 ? (check into the TWRP )
HERE i wrote how i managed to install stock firmware and correctly relocked
the bootloader. ( depend what you want to do )

Twrp for nougat

Hi everyone my device is huawei p9 lite L31 and I installed the unofficial update, after that I found out some apps are missing and the TWRP aswell so I can't flash nothing.
I would like someone to tell me which TWRP I can install and how please.
Thank you!
TWRP for Nougat doesn't support mounting of the /data partition at the moment, so there is nothing you can do about it. You should have flashed the update + data in the first place. All you can do now is unlock the bootloader, flash the oeminfo for your device and downgrade via the 3 buttons method. Next time, in TWRP for MM (which does support /data mounting), you will flash update + data for Nougat which I still can't understand nobody does.

Btw when I wanted to update I flashed both files and I think that the update wasn't complete with all files and system apps already.
Something went wrong, then. You should be able to find oeminfos in some thread here on XDA, otherwise google is your friend. Just be careful what you flash because you MUST flash the correct one for your device and locale

From (Med)Rom to stockrom need some advice/guidelines

Hi!
A while ago i managed to install medrom v3 on my phone. It worked well except for the play store. I read that this is caused by a version mismatch and i could be solved by flashing certain .img files.
Life happened and i didn't use the p9 lite for a while.
At the moment i got a phone with a unlocked bootloader and i want to go full stock with a locked bootloader.
I tried several things, like rollback files, 3 button method with a update.app and so on and i keep getting the : Software Install Failed error, indicating that the versions are mismatching.
It's a EU dual sim phone and the previous version before i medrommed it was stock: VNS-L31C432B130
And hints and guidelines on what to do ?
Thanks in advance!

Simo, thanks for your reply. I checked again and it was MEDRomV2 (your work ) not V3. Sorry the misinformation.
before reading your post i flashed 161 on it through 3-button. It said software install has failed, but MEDROM dissappeared, seems to be 'stock' atm. Playstore doesn't work and bootloader is still locked tho ?
Could you give me some guidelines on (which) oeminfo (and how) to flash ? And can i revert to unrooted/(re)locked bootloader/stock rom if i follow the instruction you gave me in the quoted post?
sorry for the late reply i don't have much time lately I appreciate your effort and time.

How's the camera on Medrom v2?
Hi friends,
I managed to solve my issue.
somehow i went from Medrom to Nougat 'test-keys'. From there i installed Revolution recovery, fixed the file system format to fat and back to ext4, then i installed the beta 336 Nougat, then i Rolled back to MM B160 and from there on i did the OTA to 370 and 380.
I am running a full stock (locked bootloader) L31C432B380 Rom now. Thanks for all the input.

Serious problem installing stock firmware p10 lite

Hi everyone, I installed RR on my P10 lite (WAS-LX1A) and all used to work great except for the sound so I thought that the ROM was not good and I began to reinstall the backup of EMUI I did with TWRP but without success. So I searched online the stock firmware and I found several versions and I tried to install one using a guide and It seemed to work until I began the first configuration of the device. Every time I finish the configuration It resends me to the beginning and I cannot install other firmwares because they stuck on 5% or it gives me "Installation failed". I cannot install TWRP too because fastboot says "command not allowed" when I try to flash it even if my bootloader and Phone Finder are unlocked. Please help me.
I succeded in installing EMUI bit it's NRD90M test keys. I found online some guides that say to use twrp in order to flash the full update. But I cannot install any twrp because when I go in fastboot mode it says:
Bootloader unlock (red)
FRP Lock (green)
you need restore device with dcphoenix(paid method)
For any steps of fastboot, need frp unlock.

Hello, you can not do nothing if either FRP or bootloader are locked. You can either use DC Unlocker to unlock the FRP lock or DC Phoenix To Flash The Stock Image all over again... or you can take it to repair for mainboard replacement. I reccomend that you unlock frp and then extract the stock firmware using huawei update extractor. You can get the firmware by installing Firmware Finder On your pc and then searching for an appropriate firmware.
Thanks, I succeeded installing a stock firmware I found online but there's another problem now. Some stock apps are missing just like the file gestor and the updater in settings. If I go in phone information it gives me that my firmware is NRD90m test-keys. What should do I do?

missing some apps because of dead cust,vendor,product...etc.
You can restore your phone using stock system updater and huawei firmware finder's proxy server
update to your device firmware version's fullOTA
and you can back to stock!
tested with my was-lx2j
sorry for my bad english
I'll try it. Thank you!

Yes, the rollback package will give you
c900 global firmware. From there install
B160 for dual sim, B161 for single sim..
When you will stay with this firmware,
update using updater stock or use Firmware Finder..
Follow the guide..
Regards..
Edit: sorry B160 and B161 are firmware persent in C432 Europe area-
Dont know the one for your cust/region (C212).
Let google do the work for you..

Hello,
according with the guide you flashed
wrong package...
You need FULL OTA UPDATE package, it must be
1.7/1.9 gbytes in size wich cames with data..
Flash new one or repeat the whole process.
I found this firmware on internet,
but do not assume any responsability.
If you want give a try here the direct download..
Check it with an antivirus/antimalware software..
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92443&version=361914&siteCode=mx
If all will go in the right direction at the end
reboot to e-recovery (vol+ + Power)
and make a factory reset.
Hope this time will work..
Best regards

Hello, I have already downloaded that file and I already flashed it but the compilation says that it is C900B130 .... instead of C212B130, so how do I change the cust to C212 ?, because with the other I can not receive the update of emui5, and if the effort with the Finder Firmware gives me the NRD90M test keys.

Hello man,
really dont know if i badly explained..
My friend to bring back to MM
you have to strictly follow the guide i posted you..
So you need VNS-L23C212 rollback package then
extract update.app, create a "dload" folder in SD and
pur in it. Turn off and proceed with three buttons method*****
When finished you will have C900 firmware..
(that's a LIMBO firmware)
Delete update.app from SD card...(not dload folder)
Now take tour VNL-L23C212Bxxx firmware,
extract update.app, put in dload folder in SD card
and repeat with three buttons metod.
If all take right direction at end of flash, after booting,
reboot to e-recovery (vol up+ power button) and make a factory reset. Now you have MM firmware..
That's the guide say...
*****= vol up+vol down+power button until It start flashing
That's all my friend...
The other way is to flash L23C212 oeminfo.zip (if you find It)
with TWRP, then VNS-L23C212Bxxx with dload and three
button method. At the end factory reset..
Best regards

Hello dear,
We will try to make your last one work
system, ie the L21C432B504.
Do you still have access to the system?
Do you have access to TWRP?
Do you have access to fastboot?
You have tried to install the oeminfo file
and this may have closed the bootloader,
so I invite you first, even if it says that it is unlocked, to re-unlock it,
but not before you have made backups of your stuff, as a factory reset will be done.
Reply me when you ready ...

[VKY-L29] Bricked cant flash any firmware, please help

Hello, what's up? my phone is bricked, I need help to restore it to the rom stock or to install a version that makes it work again.
First of all I tell you what happened, try to install an image of a rom gsi android PIE (treble). It did not work, and it stayed in bootloop.
Huawei's Multi-tools program tells me that it has version b374 c636, but phoenix says "Current version: VKY-Global-CUST 9.0.1 (C999)"
Beyond that I can not make any twrp recognize me as to transfer the files from the computer, so I'm using an external SD card.
I downloaded the same firmware I had before, b374 c636 for the VKY-l29 but I can not install it, and probe with the huawei update extractor, and flashing the images separately, but also try to put the dload folder with the update file .app but when it reaches a certain percentage of installation, a "software installation failed" message appears
also try with the hwota8, putting the 3 zips with the "recovery no-check" and with the file of hwota-update.zip. But when I install it with the twrp reboots and it stays locked in verifying update ..
I do not know what else to do, if someone could help me solve it I would appreciate it I am desperate.
Thank you
Hi, I was helped and escape the bootloop by flashing thiw one here, but it is only for C432.
Could you possibly find a similar version?
Also, take a look in this thread, especialy this post from blackball. Could you maybe flash this one?
