Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Huawei P8 Lite, it came with Lollipop 5.0.1. The thing is I would like to update to 5.1 at least. For all the reasons we all know about, this is kind of a must. However my operator hasn't send me the OTA package nor could I found one in any Huawei website. So I mailed them about this a few days ago, and got no answer yet.
So anyone here went through the same/has a stock 5.1 rom for this model? I have also read that some people swapped to ALE-21 for the updates and stuff, but I dont wanna mess with the baseband, since those post are not always properly detailed about this stuff.
Any comment, info, post, link, whatever on this topic will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You can find more info here. if you don't want to upgrade to Ale-L21 just use this as a guide (Chapter 4) but with your own stock rom file that you download from the huawei website.

So i looked up the problem that you had with converting. and i put a comparison in the thread. thx for pointing out something we didn't mention before
you can find the comparison here http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=7978&id2=8162&id3=7966
the Ali-L21 supports more basebands the the ale l23 so that's all.
Seems like my only choice is to force an ale-21 single sim rom into my phone and try not to screw it in the process.. I dont understand why Huawei wont release a 5.1 update for .23 even if its the same as .21
Thank you a lot, I will follow the steps mentioned above and try some luck

Hi, I hate that my first post is a request, but I'm looking for the OEMInfo file for Huawei P10+ model VKY-L09C02 and the closest result I got from google is this post on XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/vtr-l09c02-oeminfo-t3618083
Unfortunately the file is for the P10 (VTR) model and not the P10+ (VKY).
Please help
If you can't find it, i would recommend to rebrand to a more common model.

Thanks for replying, but I was hesitant about rebranding again since that is what caused my problems (sim not read by phone). But after some more digging yesterday I found a rebranding guide on FunkyHuawei where they mention that the VKY-L09C432 roms aren't working on compatible phones and that the solution was to rebrand to VKY-L29C636.
After trying this my phone could recognise my sim again.
Here is the link if anyone else needs it: https://funkyhuawei<dot>club/rebranding
Sorry for the format, but I'm new and forbidden from posting links
Hi all, sorry for making a new thread here about p9 lite 2017,but i don't know where to make. If someone can help me with a Stock Firmware and Recovery like in the title for a P9 Lite 2017. Also, if i need to flash the p8 lite 2017 firmware,how do i rebrand it for the right version. Thank you very much and sorry for making the thread here.
Hi, I think this stock recovery might help you out. Took me a few random YouTube videos to find over today, although it fixed my phone.
I found that the recovery was perfect and downloaded the correct firmware for my device itself without changing anything, it just did it over my WiFi.
Find it here
Don't blame me for damages since I don't know the most about all this, but for reference my model is PRA-LX1C432B202.
It's dual SIM and Kirin 655. Not sure if any of that matters, but it all worked okay for me. Good luck

Hey, my device is too PRA-LX1C432B203 i think, but when i flashed the P8 Lite 2017 firmware (because i couldn't find anything for P9 Lite 2017 on XDA),it shows me that i got the NRDM Test Keys and it thinks that i have a P8 lite 2017 than a P9 Lite 2017. I just need the correct info to display because i have a problem with display and i need to send it to guarantee.
As you guys can see there is no any update for my device because of my device is a demo device but everything is working except the update problem is there any firmware for my device? (Huawei firmware finder didn't find it)
Ofc you don't get updates in a demo phone
Have you tried firmware finder?

Hello,
if you already got or try to find a way to have your bootloader unlock number,
you can try to rebrand and surely (ex. from C652 to C432 or C185or other) this
will help you to upgrade to emui 5.x / andrid 7.0.
all the best
Hello all,
I'm looking for the stock rom (EMUI 5.0/Android 7.0) firmware files for my newly acquired P10 Lite (WAS-TL10).
Bought it at AliExpress, was supposed to ship with Android 7.0, but got Android 8.0 on it.
Unfortunately I need Android 7 for the sole purpose of verifying some Huawei allegations in which they pretend my app is not working properly with HMS Core version lower than 2.5.3! A version you can't find anywhere on any devices, but those Huawei phones running Android 7.0!
I say they pretend because they've made-up all kind of new rules for the past months to just prevent my apps from being published in China, as explained here: https://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/2784
Any help would be much appreciated.
This is the only Android 7 Stock firmware I could find:
Huawei P10 Lite Dual

Thanks but the download link doesn't work at all. I've found hundredth of such links but none works. This one ends-up with 'an error occured'.
Is it the same for you or are you able to download the file?

I'm sorry, I should've checked the link first, it seems like these files were removed from Huawei servers, however, there's AFH which, luckily, has the nougat firmware.

Try to downgrade to Nougat using Hisuite (official and safe way to do the downgrade). A7 firmware will not help you, there's no way downgrade (with locked bootloader) . Try chinese Hisuite :
https://mega.nz/file/1p9xyIRL#bx1M6zXqtrR38okQd4YqkYvmLfRaOBDJ2snjd8W7kqk
If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version" or "Earlier version"), you must downgrade to the lower Oreo build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM for your model and region).
Hi...
Like @-Alf- said you can try it this way. If it doesn't work for you. Search this forum for Service Rom to downgrade from emui 8 to emui 5. But be carefully by using any method. Make a full Backup of your System before doing any change. If you will downgrade to emui 5 for unlocking the bootloader. Better think about to use the Dc-unlocker for that. It will cost 4€ to get the unlock code. But its without risk to brick your device and it doesn't waste time to get it. You need to choose wat is more important for you.
So good luck

Thanks all, I was able to downgrade to EMUI 5.1, which allowed me testing very old HMS Core (2.5.2) somehow and its upgrade mechanism. Not sure I needed that device as it seems EMUI 5.1 didn't come with AppGallery at all, LOL.
Now I'd like to upgrade back to sell the device, but I haven't found a way to do so... Hi Suite tells me device is up-to-date, and OS system update tells me the same

What is your build number? (Settings > About phone )

Build number is WAS-TL10C636B187
I found a firmware, but it doesn't seem compatible ( Warsaw-TL10HK 8.0.0.371(C636)_Firmware_8.0.0_r1_EMUI8.0_05014HTC ) because upgrade says there is no update file on SD when I put the dload folder on it.
EDIT: That firmware contained zip files instead of .app, so I extracted the .app files and recreated the expected structure, and it processed the update using OS menu ( *#*#2846579#*#* ).
If any-one need the modified file, let me know.

Have you tried to upgrade via eRecovery & Wi-Fi?

No idea what that is lol.
After modifying the dload folder to have .app files (instead of .zip), the phone took the upgrade (editing previous post). New build number is WAS-TL10 8.0.0.371(C636).
I can now upgrade/downgrade between Android 7 and 8 for testing. That's pretty useful, so thanks to all.

WARSAW is the Name of the Phone...an p8 lite 2017 is called Prague or an Samsung S6 Edge is called zerolte
If you try to flash a firmware with another Region like C432 for Europa on a Device with C636 Asian Region...the verifying of the Update Package will not pass and update proceed will abort.
If you want to change the Region of the Device you need to use HWOTA Method for that...in the Script during configuration comes the Question to change firmware or to change location.
But be carefull by changing the Region cause the Devices for the different Regions could have different hardware integrate. Hardware like modem and so^^
OK thank you, i think modified firmware provided by 3c will work on my device as is has the same code of region c636 and the firmware flashed on my device is Asian pacific (c636)

Jfyi, the Huawei update server is down since February, so Firmware Finder is dead. Therefore, it is also not possible to use HwOTA or HuRupdater (unless someone has the necessary files stored on the disk).
