Hello,
all firmwares that end with even numbers are for dual sim,
those that end with odd numbers are for single sims.
(example: VNS-L31C432B160 = DUAL SIM; B161 = SINGLE SIM)
Use Firmware Finder to try to force the update/upgrade.
Re-update first to B160 then to B370 FULL OTA-MF-PV
and finally to B416 FULL OTA-MF that is august 2018 latest security patch.
If something goes wrong dude do not point your finger at me,
what i wrote is based on my own experience, i'm not a developer...
Good luck
Cheers

thanks for your reply
now im on b160. checking b370 on firmware finder and clicking "check availability" it says is not approved for installation
is this going to fail? or i need something else after b160

Try with B370 FULL OTA MF one ( without PV )

for 370 there are only fullota-mf and ota-mf
managed to get 210 and now regular update on 228

I used the PC version of Firmware Finder
and found the firmwares i suggested...
Aren't them present on app version ?

on app shows error that was removed from server.
ill download the files manually on pc. whats the best way to try and upgrade on phone?
Update: managed to finish it. you were right about the 370..my mistake i didnt saw it in app there were two 370 with different dates, which one was not working. i noticed it from your screenshot and rechecked and found it. then updated to 416 and all done

Install firmware finder and adjust setting to view last firmware
If it can't find nougat update , you can unlock bootloader and update via twrp method

I found the b563 fw but when i tried to update it it stopped at 1 % and the phone rebooted. What can cause the problem ?
Keep checking! Older firmwares have some small optimization to be done. So these guys r releasing slowly

On the firmware finder app, disable OTA, and you'll see that the ones that say FULL/OTA will disappear,
and the only FULL that shows up are the older (EMUI 4x) ones. At least that's what happens on
mine. L29C185B321
I just manage to update to b563 by first flash b211 using the dload method, and then i could update to b563 with firmware finder . Thanks for the help everybody !

Hi,
Same issue for me. It's only 1.25GB update when I perform update request.
Already done the rollback to go back to MM with the B160 version. But when ask again for a new update request using HiCare, it's always the same update of 1.25GB and not the 1.99GB one.
My device is L31 too and no root or other thinks.
I have downloaded last last HiCare app but same issue, I really do not understand why an original stock device do not get the appropriat update...
Perform reset 3 or 4 times but always the same issue...
****ing "NRD90M test keys" version...
Other people are in the same case ? Any official help or tips for Huawei Service ?
Thanks
according to me i should try with back to mm> twrp and root> flash N
You need to be on B160 then go to HiCare app ( the one from playstore ) then update from there.

I have already perform rollback to B160 and try to update after with the new app HiCare in PlayStore but same issue...
I had the same issue. This worked for me: Rollback to B160 via Rollback Image provided by Huawei. Then updated to B161 & then updated to B371, both steps via Firmware Finder and Firmware Finder Proxy. Now all seems to be working fine, no more 'NRD90M test keys' nonsense and missing stuff. Bluetooth is working fine which is my main requirement as this device is used for app testing, involving a lot of Bluetooth.

Proxy method?
Better let someone else handle the updating, seeing as you're don't like reading too much.

Dude use Firmware Finder app and dns/vpn method
to try to force the upgrade ( try to use B361 FULL OTA-MF PV first ).
If all will take right direction, then use same method to update to
B502 (dual sim) or B503 (single sim) FULL OTA-MF version.
See the attachtments and good luck.

Dear,
huawei never planned to forward oreo official upgrade to p9 lite ( 2016 aka venus model ) users,
so do not waste your time looking for this, it simply doesn't exists...
B502 ( dual sim ) / B503 ( single sim ) are latest Nougat firmware.
Cheers

Firmware Finder is down bro, definitively. You can try to upgrade using dload method. Download Service ROM for dual SIM
and flash it, instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder. This process will erase all your data (and lock the bootloader again) !
I hope you have Dual SIM variant. If not, let me know.

p9 Lite reverting from (self installed) dual sim firmware back to stock single sim?

About 14 months ago Orange had a great deal on the p9 lite, so I leapt on it.
I thought it might be fun to upgrade the firmware from the single sim (as supplied) to dual sim ...I recall it took me many nights! (& it wasn't fun)
Now I've a few issues with the phone & I don't use the dual sim at all ...so I'd like to go back to stock single sim software ...how do I do that? (I've downloaded what I think is the correct rollback software, put it onto sd card in a dload folder...but when the upgrade happens I get a warning that the firmware I'm using is incompatible with the current version)
My phone is currently running VNS-L31C432B130 (but like I say, this is dual sim firmware ....I now want single sim)
Many thanks in anticipation
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip << It's VNS-L31C432B161
Many thanks...that has installed fine - when I go to Settings - About phone it shows VNS-L31C432B161 ...just to confirm that's single sim firmware? (edit: just seen that the option to manage sim cards is still showing in settings...therefore this must be dual sim firmware?)
VNS-L31C432B161 seems to be quite an old version (Oct 2016 - ish) - how do I get up to the latest version now that I'm back on stock single sim firmware?
B160 - Dual SIM
B161 - Single SIM
Download and open Firmware finder >> Tap on VNS-L31C432 >> Search for VNS-L31C432B371 (Full OTA MF PV !) >> Tap on it >> Get an update through DNS >> Change DNS >> Register Update >> Go to Settings > Updater and there you should see the update >> Update.
You have VNS-L31 , I have VNS-L21 , so I don't know what updates do you need to install in order to get the latest version (You can't simply install VNS-L31C432B404 for example if you have VNS-L31C432B161)

Thanks ...B371 Full OTA MF is downloading now ...once installed, presumably I have to go through all the follow on versions from B371 in the same way? (is there a list of releases anywhere so that I know which firmware versions/order to apply?)

Well after a lot of faffing about (& a couple of upgrade failures - 'unable to verify' blah blah), it seems that the B371 from firmware finder loaded...but bizarrely, after upgrading the phone tells me it's running NRD90MTEST firmware.
Any idea if that sounds right?
Edit: Bluetooth isn't working...oh dear, something has gone badly wrong here...
Ok, so it seems if NRD90MTEST firmware is showing after an upgrade, then the wrong firmware version was selected in firmware finder...so I reverted back to B161 where I shall now stay put!
Ehm , I told you to download the FULL OTA MF PV version , not FULL OTA MF ...

You did indeed, but I clearly missed the importance of the PV (no harm done, as I say I rolled back to B161) ....I don't suppose you happen to know which is the most recent firmware version that everyone is using successfully from Firmware Finder for VNS-L31C432 (i.e. where Bluetooth works, Camera Works etc.)

Heh , no problem if you managed to rollback to B161 . Also , did you update to B371 ? I mean , after you rolled back to B161 , did you update to B371 ?
By the way , you can't install versions one by one (Like B371 > B380 > B381 (for example)) because one is for Single Sim and one is for Dual Sim >> For example , I have VNS-L21C432B391 , and those with Dual SIM version have VNS-L21C432B390 and they'll get an update to B392 , and I'll get an update to B393 .
I would help you more if I had the 3GB version and not the 2GB version..

No I didn't ...only because I selected the wrong version of firmware in firmware finder & now my phone is waiting for me to update it (I can't find a way to reject/remove the update ...which if I could, I would then update to B371)

My phone was purchased as a single sim, but it had dual sim capability - therefore I'm confused as to whether I should always be selecting the dual sim firmware when upgrading...also, where are you finding our which version is single sim & which version id dual sim (is there some website which lists this?)
Are you saying that if I manage to upgrade to B371, afterwards I should then upgrade to B390...which will ultimately see my phone getting an upgrade to 392?
Many thanks for your help :good:
Ah , forgot that you have VNS-L31 and not VNS-L21.
Use Firmware Finder to send B371 FULL OTA MF PV version to Updater..

Alas, I can't get the wrong version of firmware out of updater (it's currently got the non PV version - from a day or two ago)...it's still hanging about in updater (even after me deleting the update.app files using a file manager app on the phone, factory reset....still there!) - in fact I think it has really messed things up badly (I spent a full night ponied up 15EUR on DC Phoenix to recover my phone.)
So, having added the wrong version of firmware to updater, there seems to be no way of either deleting it or superceding the version that's currently sitting in updater ...it's stuck with that wrong version in updater ....forever!
