It should say, for example, 9.0.1.191 (C432E4R1P11). So something is wrong with your /cust or /version.
Updating will probably do nothing but add that (E).
A way to fix that is to flash 9.0.1.191 dload, but dload does a factory reset and locks bl.
You can find dload firmware on androidhost.ru.

Seen the same, 9.0.1.191 from FF, wanted update to .191 (E)... so I updated through the on device updater app... no difference.
BTW, better get .194 instead, at least has June 2019 patches.

Huawei P8Lite Notification/Double Tap problem

Hi there, I'm experiencing some issues with my new bought phone Huawei P8 Lite(ALE-L21 Single-Sim locked in Vodafone Romania).
The first issue and that's kinda important is the notification one; I won't receive for example Facebook's Messenger messages, when phone it's locked or often on home screen. I've given priority on that damn task killer, I did anything recommended on all forums and sites, even from WhatsApp's thread about receiving delayed notifications, I also installed that Push notifications app;
When I said I often receive notifications on my home screen it's beacuse they are delayed I think. I want to fix this so bad so I made a thread about this. Everything has priority, even networking apps, the lock screen has the default theme, I really don't know what to do anymore.
And the second one is about the common double tap execution when writing or tapping or anything else. I'm experiencing some troubles there too, especially when I'm writing, the phone is executing the second tap without my action and I don't know how to fix that.
I'll let some informations about my phone..
I've purchased this phone on 31th of May, 2016
The model number is ALE-L21/Single Sim
The build number is ALE-L21C02 B140
Android 5.0.1 with EMUI 3.1
Phone isn't rooted or modified, and I want to fix these without rooting if it's possible.
well .. you have 2 options:
1. Check notifications manager from notifications panel
2. Upgrade to marshmallow: upgrade to b170 then upgrade to b564 and hope this will fix your problem xD
About the double tap: that is an often problem on this huawei and you can fix that by upgrading to last version of marshmallow.
Can't find an notification manager, may you show me where it is?
And about the versions I found only b170 but it's from spain and I told you that I'm a little bit scared beacuse it's locked in Vodafone Romania
It doesn't matter from where it is, it's official from huawei. It doesn't matter if it's locked in vodafone romania, mine was also locked in vodafone romania, and i have b565 now
You won't brick your phone.
Here it's notification manager:
If you can't find notification, it means that this option is not available on 5.0
May you give me some links to the updates, please? I really don't want to f**k up the phone
Update via local update: make a folder named dload on your internal memory or sdcard an put the update.app inside of this zip
Then, update with the same procedure to 6.0 by installing update.app from this zip
ALE-L21C02 B140
It looks that Your phone is branded and I don't know if You will have balong bug after upgrading the system to B170 and upper. I recommend you to make a debrand process but it needs an unlocked bootloader. When You decide to do it remember to have done a backup of Your data!

Oups, didn't read c02 xD
But i don't think it's a big problem, even if he has balong, he can install vendor or change it.
Could you explain me what's "balong" and "vendor"; I'm sorry but I'm completely parallel with these kind of "deep" stuff in phones..
Balong is a bug that appears when you are installing a firmware that is not for your country and it's a problem with the version not showing properly. The vendor file will fix it.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
And where can I find the vendor file, to avoid the balong bug?
And also is it a problem if I update my One-Sim Phone with an Dual-Sim FW?
That's strange, why are you having b140 on single sim?
And why you want to update with a dual sim version on single sim?
Just install b171 first then install b551, at last install b565 via ota.
Vendor file is inside firmware archives.
Hi,
I bought this phone Huawei P8Lite (ALE-L21) without being connected to any network carrier.
Before I start to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and Root the phone, I checked the system version and EMUI and the rest of the information needed before update to Marshmallow 6.0.
Before I had the following info:
OS: Lollipop 5.0.1
EMUI: 3.0
(ALE-L21C432B200)
At this point I had no update via OTA - (to the Android 6.0 Marshmallow), and made only unlock bootloader
After several hours of searching, I found that I could do a local update (B560 Marshmallow Firmware [Europe] - Dual SIM) available by Huawei.
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
I checked Huawei PDF on how to do the update but does not mention Required Version and proceeded to local update.
So far so good, the phone did the update without any problem.
I checked OTA for new update and the phone made update for B564 - Also mentioned by Carbontesla.com
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
Phone did the update (B564) without any problem, then I proceed installing TWRP and then I root the phone.
All work beautifully, but I noticed that whatever the application I use both SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, GMail, takes too long to receive notifications.
I do not know if he was already with this bug when the phone was with Lollipop 5.0.1 with (ALE-L21C432B200) and EMUI 3.0
I have not had time yet to reset the phone to factory settings and verify that fixed the bug, I will do this weekend week :fingers-crossed:
Can someone help me?

Yes, I've been checking battery management if everything with access to work in the background for apps, and it seems to be ok and notification center too.
It continues with the same delay / bug
I hope this weekend to reset the phone to factory settings and verify if it keeps the same problem.
Check Wi-Fi sleep, and set it to off from Power Saving tab

I checked and is always on, no sleep.
Today is the day, I'm going to reset the phone to factory settings and then check if all is ok.
I'll be back once I have the result:fingers-crossed:
Before starting to reset the phone to factory settings, I made backup all my personal files and a recovery with TWRP if something wrong happened.
It seems to be all right after the whole process
I receive all notifications like any other phone in normal operation, no delay :good:
But before I celebrate, I will be alert to phone with daily use to make sure that everything continued well.
Thanks for all the help :good:

B330 no more available?

This is a bit weird. When I saw that B370 is rolling out in Germany, I tried update on phone to check if update is available. Now strangest thing is, that even B330 is not showing. I'm on B180 and about month ago I received notifications that B330 is available.
I even updated to B330, didn't liked it, rolledback to B180 and even after rollback i could update to B330. Now there is no update available. Even tried with HiSuite....but nothing.

I have the same issue! I don't know what is going on.
Now I found out that HiCare, when I started it, it asked me to update itself. So I did.
Now HiCare shows me OS early adoption update...something and when I press on it, it shows me that I can update to B370?
Weird huh? Even though regular updater doesn't show that there is an update.

Yes , it is really weird.
I find it out guys! Just unroot and you can install the update via OTA.
I didn't rooted phone
Sent from my Huawei Honor 7
Jesus , then i really don't know how to help you..
Have you tried manually updating the phone? Try to download the b330 and then update to b370.
I found out how regular update can be done.
Just applying thru HiCare and accepting new version B370, phone updater gained access and now it is able to update B370/
Sent from my Huawei Honor 7
HiCare needs to be updated normally.
Then when setup (region and user agreement) is done it should present a new update.
Full HiSuite backup is highly recommended.
If on B180, the update should have 1.19GB if on B330 should be around 400MB.
I´ve updated manually (got errors probably due to unroot and restock recovery image) from B180 to B330 then automatically to B370.
Factory reset, format microSD, full HiSuite restore and clean as a whistle.

P9 Lite VNS-21 random restart

Hello to all,
I have a smartphone Huawei P9 Lite version VNS-L21 with firmware version VNS-L21c432b160
Following the update of the firmware, the phone when it is idle or while using or telephoning, randomly restarts without any errors.
I tried to perform a reset to factory conditions, but nothing done.
Now I wanted to completely reinstall the firmware via SD Card, but I noticed that there is also the version of the B161 firmware.
The problem is that by the Updater app, this update B161 does not appear to me!
Able to make the manual flash version of the B161 or if there is some reason why appears in updater app
Obviously I do not intend to lose the guarantee.
Sorry for my bad english
I look forward to your advice
If you are on VNS-L21c432b160, update via OTA to VNS-L21c432b161 is not going to happened...
I think if you wait for OTA, next update for you is B170...
You cand make a manual update to B161, update will going ok,
but you will find out that firmware version will not change, remain B160...
In my case is tested from B130 to B131, from B150 to B151 and from B160 to B161.
Update proceed without error, but firmware version not change...

then, should I reinstall the firmware B160?
If the problem occurs again what can I do to try to understand the problem?
The phone has also restarted after resetting to factory conditions, without installing other apps.
the problem is that Random happen, it does frequently
Try with C432B130 firmware as reference.
Those symptoms unknown for me and i make many flashes/reflashes with different versions and
i din not experience even a single random restart of phone...
I suspect a hardware problem...
Can I install an older version of the firmware without losing the warranty with completely stock phone? If possible ... Where do I find the firmware? Thank you
Updating up/down with stock firmware's not affects warranty...
You will find L21C432B130.zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16538#downloads
Keep in mind: every time when make updating on your phone, something can make wrong and you can brick your phone.

You should rollback to MM, but be carefull, don t make a factory reset cause u ll have a bootloop. After this, use the firmware Finder app and download B370 if your device it s L31 and be careful to have 1900mb
Hello,
My phone did the Update to nougat. Everything after the update messed up. Apps were deleted etc. I did a factory reset. After that i wasn't able to get to my mobile desktop. So i bought DC-Unlocker to unlock FRP. This worked.
So for now, i am not able to rollback with the rollback packages.
It says: "Software Install failed! The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."
It's also NRD90M-test keys
Can anyone please help me? Its an VNS-L31 from Germany.
I did it with rollback package. Worked for me.
Flashed b160, got Update message for b370.
I dont get why i got update message for b371 with 1,2gb first.
Huawei P9 Lite dual sim VNS-L21
After OTA upgrade to Nougat I noticed some missing apps;
- Factory reset - "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly"
- Hard reset - the same massage
After boot says NRD90M test keys at software info. Phone is in some kind of loop with this "failed verification" message at every starup.
What should I do? Send it to warranty or risk fix it myself? I will not succeed without a step by step guide because I never did this before. I do not know what vershion I had before NRD90M test-keys

A working version of Nougat should be fine for me.

P9 Lite - VNS-L31C432B226 to Nougat

Hi guys!
Recently, one of the users of my app reported an issue with his Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31C432B418. It's impossible to him to use my app, network calls are blocked in the app, the app won't connect to my backend endpoints for no reason. Logging is quite unclear, so it's hard to reproduce this issue.
Because of my dedication and urge to fix this issue, I ordered an Huawei P9 Lite on Amazon. (amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B01DYN5OLE) It got delivered today, installed my app and woosh... Everything was working fine. The phone came with VNS-L31C432B160/EMUI 4.1.3; but the user of my app is using P9 Lite VNS-L31C432B418/EMUI 5.0.4. Hitting the "check for updates" did not result in receiving any update (Thanks Huawei!) so I started looking around the internet. I prefer to use exactly the same build version because I want to reproduce this (hard) issue.
So far so good, I used Firmware Finder to incrementally update to VNS-L31C432B226. I'm quite new in these firmware-hacks and tried installing the VNS-L31C432B418 version, but I got stuck at the 5% progress indicator. Using Firmware Finder on my PC, it checked that I'm able to install versions with G 2190 and g 1789. These params do not tell that much for me... Currently, I'm stuck at VNS-L31C432B226 as this is the last one that has G 2190 and g 1789. All the other ones have G 190 and g 1755, are these for other devices as the one I have since I am not able to install these ones?
Someone who can help me in order to get VNS-L31C432B418? Is this even possible on my device?
Thanks in advance, kind regards
Joren

Hi Joren,
sorry if i ask but the weird (B226) update you done is android 6 or 7 ?
Starting from B160, you should have chosen B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV
to upgrade to android 7, then to latest B418...

Hi, thanks for your reply! My device gotdelivered with version B172...
Today, I got an update to VNS-L31C432B228! This version is not visible in Firmware Finder... Any ideas how to update to Nougat?
Is it possible to force the update? I always get the message that the update is not compatible with my version.

Ok,
use the app, same method and choose B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV.
It's 1.99 gbyte - date 21/03/2017 - G 753 - g 104.
Into my PC version of FF i see (2) two versions, looks the same, try one or the other..
If you will succeed you can update to the latest firmware (B418)..

You should use the app to upgrade not to download the firmware.
Take a look HERE, also some videos are on YT..
Just change the firmware with yours... :fingers-crossed:

Tried in the app, it told me that B370 "The firmware is not approved for installation". B418 is approved (FullOTA-MF), so:
- I've downloaded the firmware (3 files)
- Setup in-app proxy
- Change wifi proxy to localhost:8080
- Check for updates, update is available
- Switch back to wifi, disable proxy
- Download update
- Install
Same story, update is incompatible... So I think I'm still doing something wrong while changing the firmware instead of upgrading. For me, the tutorials are skipping essential steps. Or I might have received a f*cked up device. Why on earth is it so hard to update, thanks Huawei..

Same story, update is incompatible... So I think I'm still doing something wrong while changing the firmware instead of upgrading. For me, the tutorials are skipping essential steps. Or I might have received a f*cked up device. Why on earth is it so hard to update, thanks Huawei..

Are you choosing B370 fullota-mf-pv one ? (not B370 fullota-mf nor B370 ota)
Also now i see there a third B370 fullota-mf-pv with date 2017.08.03 - G 1258 - g 104..
If you don't upgrade to this version first,
you couldn't upgrade anyway to android 7
and then to latest version.
Come on try again...

Yup, but that one: "Most likely, the firmware was removed from the server".
The other ones with B370 are both telling "The firmware is not approved for installation".
I'm testing all the FullOTA-MF-PV's, they are all telling "The firmware is not approved for installation". Some of the "FullOTA-MF" do show the message that they are available. What's the difference between the "-PV"?

That version is used to upgrade to android 7 from 6.
Maybe the version you updated before (B226/B228) don't allow you to upgrade.
Downgrade to B160 and redo your steps..
How to do this ?
Download THIS FILE, extract update.app, create a folder and name it DLOAD.
Put update.app into that folder and put the folder into your SD card.
Turn off the device then reboot holding vol+ & vol- & power buttons together
until flashing starts then release them...

Done, thanks for those clear instructions, I do have B160 for now. The B370 is still resulting in "The firmware is not approved for installation"... :/

That's really weird dude..
Is your device dual sim one ?
What happen if you choose B371 (fullota-mf-pv) instead of B370 ?

Yup, the device is the dual sim one, B371 also "The firmware is not approved for installation". It's really weird...
I'll try updating manually incrementally, so update by update the ones with G 1258 - g 104?

Back to B370,
skip the verify access firmware, go directly to 'get an update via dns',
tap ok, select 'auto' dns method and tap change dns.
VPN service should start...
Open settings > internal updater
and see if download come for you... check several times ...

I don't know what's wrong with this device.
I've downgraded my device to B160 (66015), tried upgrading to B370 80460, 80466, 80582, all with the same result: Incompatibility with current version. The only version I'm able to upgrade to is 80562, which is B210. From that point, Firmware Finder suggests that it should be possible to update to the B370 builds, but every time, "Incompatibility with current version".
The only B370 that I was not able to try is the one you're suggesting in your comment. That one gives a 404 so I'm not able to download that one (92405). Any other suggestions...?

Sorry dude have you tried skipping the firmware access ?
Could we have missed something in the procedure ?
If this doesn't work, try opening the FF app and from the main menu select 'instructions'.
Video and text guides will open. You can try the update with HiSuite
or with eRecovery or as a last resort you could try the one with a TWRP,
but for this you will have to unlock the bootloader and
it would cost you some time and an additional 4 € ...
Please Note: I have never upgraded from A6 to A7 with this device via twrp,
you do this at your own risk ...

With B160, install firmware finder on your phone.
Add model as VNS-L31C432
Settings > Show firmware for this region only and Show full OTAs only.
Check firmware approval one or two times. (Make sure you've provided phone permission for firmware finder)
Get an update via DNS and it'll turn on vpn.
Check for updates and download.
I can help you on teamviewer if you still can't make it work.
I think that the firmware I need is the one that returns a 404 when trying to download. I've already done successful firmware approval several times for builds that won't install after all. Only the fact that it's such a mess to get updates for this device makes me really frustrated. What if I was a "dummy" owner of this device? I should never be able to get the updates I'm looking for. It's just impossible without doing too much effort or rooting the device. For me it's really important to have the original firmware of Huawei and not a custom rom, because I have to investigate the issue of my app user, which is device-specific. How complicated can it be to provide a solid update platform. Huawei, please.
I've decided to ship this piece of sh*t back to Amazon. Ordered a second hand Huawei P9 Lite that has already the build VNS-L31C432B418. Thank you guys for all the effort in trying to help me getting Nougat on this device, unfortunately it seems to be impossible.
