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!
SOLVED: please check my 2nd post.
Hello guys,
I would like to upgrade my P9 Lite L31 from M to N official. I've tried the past few days but it always ends up with "NRD90M test-keys" on build number and missing apps. I have read A LOT of threads/posts about this issue, really everywhere, but I can't figure out how to update my device without problem.
Also I do know there are some Q&A threads/GUIDES/HOW-TOs in the forum but I don't find the right procedure for my case.
I assume it's because I've flashed the wrong package or forgot something in the procedure...
I've followed this GUIDE by @simo255: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932
Here is my info:
P9 Lite VNS-L31
3 Gb RAM
Build: VNS-L31C900B151
EMUI 4.1.1
So, I'm on C900B151 and I'd like now to upgrade to C432B380 (or C432B381 ?) (or above if available).
If I understand well, the correct procedure is:
1- unroot (necessary?)
2- change from C900 to C432, by flashing an C432 OEMINFO.img through Meticulus TWRP (v4)
3- flash the latest Nougat update.zip package (B370/B371 or B380/B381) through Meticulus TWRP (v4)
4- flash the latest data full EU zip (B370/B371 or B380/B381)
5- reboot
Is it OK?
At steps 3 and 4, do I have to get UPDATE.app for B3xx and use the dload method instead?
FYI, I didn't follow step 2 when I tried, is it the culprit of my CUST errors in TWRP/"NRD90M test-keys"/missing apps problems? Or is it because I've flashed B370 instead of B371?
A few questions:
1- Is it a problem to currently run B151 firmware for my L31 for the Nougat upgrade process? I've read that the last digit means dual SIM or single SIM. I think I have a single SIM version but I'm not sure... How to know for sure? Sorry for the dumb question
2- If I don't follow the procedure above but if I relock my BL and then check for updates, do you think I will get a Nougat full OTA for C900 (C900B151 > C900B3xx)? Is it really necessary for me to change from C900 to C432?
3- In any cases, would it be possible to upgrade directly from B151 to B38x? Or do I have to go through B16x or B37x?
4- I can't figure out how to get the correct full OTA for Nougat, the one bigger than 1,9 Gb. I always get 1,25 Gb package through OTA update in settings, even when I'm running C432B160...
5- Is it possible to use Firmware Finder to update from B151 directly to B38x (or above)?
I already tried to flash a B370 update.zip and data full EU (from this GUIDE) but I have error about CUST in TWRP and as already said, then I get "NRD90M test-keys" on build number and missing apps after reboot.
After this, I successfully downgraded to C432B160 (maybe it would be better to downgrade to B161?) and I get the B370 OTA (1,25 Gb), but as you know it's not the FULL OTA... So AGAIN: "NRD90M test-keys" on build number and missing apps.
Sorry for the long post but I find really hard to flash/update stuff on this P9 Lite. I'm really confused. I was before on a Samsung S3 LTE and it was easier...
Any advices?
Thanks in advance.
I solved my problem!
My mistake was to install build VNS-L31C432B160 instead of VNS-L31C432B161, that's why OTA available was not the correct one (1,25 Gb instead of 1,99 Gb)
B160, B370, B380 are for dual SIM
B161, B371, B381 are for single SIM
I have a P9 Lite L31 SINGLE SIM
I was on previously on build VNS-L31C900B151 and I'm now running build VNS-L31C432B381 official and everything is working well.
The steps:
1- Download Update.zip of VNS-L31C432B161 (size around 1.6+ GB) (I've found it and downloaded it with Firmware Finder)
2- Extract the UPDATE.APP of the ZIP with 7-zip or similar and copy it on External SDCARD in a dload folder
2- Make sure to be rooted (Bootloader unlocked, TWRP v4 by Meticulus installed and SuperSU flashed)
3- Flash OEMinfo.img and custom.bin for C432 Single SIM (download link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873, from this thread: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3CRCPqinridRXNPdDNuM2g5dTA) with Toolkit (download link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16538#downloads from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873)
4- Reboot > It asks for decryption key (I entered a wrong one because I didn't even know the code) > it fails to decrypt and then ask for factory reset
5- Factory reset fails (I don't know why)
6- Reboot on Android > build is now VNS-L31C432B151 (it changed from C900 to C432 thanks to the OEMinfo.img and custom.bin)
7- Shutdown the phone
8- Start the phone with 3 buttons method: vol- ; vol+ ; power
9- Wait a few minutes L31C432B161 to be installed > It reboots and you're now running L31C432B161
10- Search for OTA in ROM settings > You will get L31C432B371 > Download and apply the update
11- Wait a few minutes L31C432B371 to be installed > It reboots and you're now running L31C432B371
12- Search for OTA in ROM settings > You will get L31C432B381 > Download and apply the update
13- Wait a few minutes L31C432B381 to be installed > It reboots and you're now running L31C432B381
14- Done!
So i have the same problem.
I've the L21 Dual sim model (2GB) and i tried to update.
Messed up with firmware finder and ended up with a wrong update. I've managed to get back to L21C432B160.
What version do I pick with Firmware finder? Or do i need to flash another OEMinfo.img en custom.bin first to get an update?
I don't want to end up with beta firmware or something messed up so I keep getting future updates. I don't understand why the OTA update is still here on my p9.

Which oeminfo.img and custom.bin did you flash lately? Is it your own files or from someone else?
And you say you are currently running L21C432B160 but which OTA version is showing up now in ROM settings? Which size?
Sent from my P9 lite using XDA Labs
Haven’t flash any of these files yet. I dont have an ota in upater right now. That is The probleem. Only with the firmware Finder i can get updates but i dont know which i should pick

If you want to get OTA updates, you need to have your bootloader locked. Is your bootloader currently unlocked?

Yes. But the problem also occured when it was locked.

I meant once you run full working Android 6, you have to go in Android settings, in a menu called something like "system updates" or similar and you should see if a newer Android version is available, meaning Android 7.
I'm running Android 7.0, so I can't show you screenshots from Android 6,sorry... Here are 2 screenshots from EMUI 5.0 (Android 7) in case it could help.
[SOLVED] Hi i was on l-31c432b381 firmware with emui 5.0 and android 7.0, i have unlocked the bootloader for install magisk 12.0 and have root permissions, after months i saw an update for my phone (b389) so i tried to upgrade but i had twrp so error 1 or 7, i flashed the stock recovery, redowload the update and the install failed at 5%, so i tried to unistall magisk before update, but nothing it wont update, after few tries the upgrader says that the update now is not 300mb but is full and is 2gigs, so i think is the time.. but no. so i tried to force the update with 3 buttons recovery dload method but it doesn't work at all 5% at every try. so i searched for support and i found that the ota connot be installed on unlocked devices, so i tried to relock my bootloader with oem relock and the unlock number but it says root type is risk... so i can't even relock my bootloader.. other says that i have to install to relock or can relock... but is b381 the stock? or they instend the mm version? i don't remember what version p9 lite ships. i tried to flash imgs through fastboot but even if i flash system and boot of the b389 the system boot and the info are of the b381, unisatlling app system crash, so i restored my previous backup made through twrp recovery, i immidiatly noticed that the huawei boot animations was gone and was an android stock animation. i thinked it was fine and all was working properly, i give up o upgrade and i was fine but sad. after few hours i tried to make a paper copy with my printer that have nfc but my phone keep shows and hide nfc symbol like on off on off on off over and over even after reboot, after a call i understand that the audio doesn't was working, every type of audio not work even the mic. i don't see any other problems but without sounds is unusable as a phone or mulimedia things... sorry for bad english please HELP i tried all i founded ...

Hi, my english is bad too , B389 is an OTA update, its impossible upgrade via fstboot or via TWRP (error 7). IMO the right way to fix your problems - downgrade to MM , then back to Nougat etc. (remove pattern Lock , Fingerprint lock, root etc. before installing downgrade). It will erase all your phone data!!!
Download official rollback package for your VNS-L31C432
http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk
and download MM firmware VNS-L31C432B161 (Single SIM)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66022/f1/full/update.zip
1) Create a new folder dload in root directory of SD card (root directory : it means dont put it in any folder .) Now unpack the rollback package and copy its contents “UPDATE.APP” to the “dload” folder. Use the 3 button combo installation. After your firmware version should now be on “B300” or "test-keys".
2) Remove from dload folder rollback package, extract the ZIP file with MM firmware to the dload folder and use 3 combo button installation.
Or you can use this method : on your phone launch the phone dialer app and dial *#*#2846579#*#*. Next, select Project Menu – > Software upgrade – > SDcard upgrade – > and confirm the flashing process that is about to be initiated.
Good luck!

Yes, you can. Via OTA, or you can use TWRP (Meticulus 3.0.2.0 only ! ) and flash both .zip files. You must download two files:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v80474/f1/full/update.zip
and
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip.
In TWRP set Install, then select memmory SD card, and klick on
update.zip, confirm installation. After, STAY in TWRP, go back to Install, find file ...hw_eu....zip , confirm installation. Then select rebot system. Done!

Try it, but I think, you will get a message "not compatible" . Via dload its impossible, IMO use rather Huawei firmware finder or wait for OTA update.

If I said, it's impossible manually update to 381 or 389 using OTA firmware, trust me . Try Firmware finder. GL!

FF works with proxy fine, but you must first download and install Firmware finder proxy apk. On Nougat use TWRP 3.1.0-2.

Hi all,
I just want to share with you all how i solved NRD90M test-keys on my Mate 8. 2 weeks ago, I've successful to debrand from L29 to AL10 and updated to Oreo EMUI 8. After awhile, i found bugs or error when i connected to PC or Laptop, my phone will go haywire like someone is touching the screen everywhere. I suspected it might be came from cust.img that i flashed to make sim and data detect.
Then i made a decision to debrand again to DL00, and successfully rollback to MM B386 using Hisuite version 8. After that i flashed dualcu_cn.zip using TWRP and successful to debrand to DL00. I checked the OTA update, there is DL00C00B577 Nougat update and i download and installed it. My Mate 8 became NRD90M test-keys after successfully updated to Nougat. For one and a half day i searched in internet and XDA on how to get rid of NRD90M test-keys and update to next build of Nougat. On XDA, I've found several thread regarding NRD90M test-keys like https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/info-rom-nrd90m-test-keys-android-7-0-t3750147, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/nrd90m-test-keys-t3549124 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/stuck-nrd90m-test-keys-t3590461 but without proper steps and procedures. So people like me a noob or newbies will stuck on how to solve the problem. So I've do some test for my Mate 8 by using one of this methods which are HuRUpdater, HWOTA and erecovery. I can said that 90% of chances rate it will success but you'll need to download FullOTA-MF stock firmware. I'm using erecovery so no need to download it.
Requirement:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. TWRP Installed
3. HuRUpdater - Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
4. HWOTA - Link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/DEWc/a9fDVbgpz
5. update.zip - FullOTA-MF (for me NXT-DL00C17B592-full in erecovery)
6. update_all_hw.zip
7. update_data_public.zip
8. Back up your data using HiSuite or SD card.
Instruction
Method 1 using HuRUpdater
1. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed.
2. Download HuRUpdater.zip, update.zip-FullOTA-MF (your stock firmware), update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip.
3. Make a new folder in SD Card root (you can name it base on its firmware) and put all the zips that you already downloaded in the folder.
4. Boot your Mate 8 to TWRP and choose sd card > folder > HuRUpdater.zip. It'll reboot into recovery and start flash firmware.
5. Your phone will update to the newest build number base on your stock firmware.
6. You can follow the steps in this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Method 2 using HWOTA
1. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed.
2. Download HWOTA.zip, update.zip-FullOTA-MF (your stock firmware), update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip.
3. Extract HWOTA.zip into HWOTA folder in your PC and put all the zips that you already downloaded in that folder. Copy HWOTA folder in your SD Card.
4. Boot your Mate 8 to TWRP and choose HWOTA folder and select nxt_hwota_update.zip. It'll reboot into recovery and start flash firmware.
5. Your phone will update to the newest build number base on your stock firmware.
6. You can follow the steps in this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...ate-8-t3785320. This HWOTA.zip also can use to flash OREO EMUI 8 firmware.
P/S: I think HuRUpdater and HWOTA is the same method but using different script binary.
Method 3 using eRecovery
1. Press Vol + and Power button at the same time for 3-5 sec.
2. Choose your WIFI (need strong connection), if not it will failed to download recovery firmware.
3. If your WIFI have a strong connection it'll start to download recovery firmware and install.
4. Wait until finish installation
5. Your phone will update to the newest build number base on your stock firmware.
P/S: If you're using C636,C432,C185, i think it's useless. because i'm from C636 it's never captured the recovery firmware. so in case if your phone bricked or test keys, you can use HuRUpdater method. This method only working on chinese variants is what i think.
Additional info:
DESCRIPTION FOR FIRMWARE
1- OTA Firmware: (Over The Air) That mean the update file can install on the available os and upgrade or fix some bugs. (if the update build number is compatible with your phone).
2- FullOTA: Full OTA firmware is Full package of firmware and it can unbrick your phone.
3- FullOTA-MF: Full OTA MF firmware is Full package of firmware and it can unbrick your phone model with any buid number.
4- FullOTA-PV: Full OTA PV firmware is a Point-Version firmware, which means it can unbrick your phone depend on build number.
5- OTA-PV: Point-Version, such firmware are designed to update from one version of android to another. (build number is important)
6- OTA-MF: MF is a multi-file firmware, which means that there are several update packages in it.

So originally you came from NXT-AL10 and without changing oeminfo with SRK Tool then you used the HuRUpdater?
Is it your bootloader still unlocked or locked?
I did not change oeminfo, or rather I tried with SRK tool, but I did not succeed.
Yes, I used HuRUpdater.
Bootloader unlocked

TWRP Huawei mate 8
Hello, my people, how are you?
I have a doubt, the truth is I am very new in this.
I have a Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L29 which updates to Android 7 with an app called "Firmware Finder for Huawei" and then I started my problems, the clock does not work, I can not enter the updater among others. What I would like is to change that rom for another or if it were for a stock.
I have the bootloader open and a TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-next) which is the only one that has worked for me but I have not been able to install another rom it tells me this: "error when dismounting" / '/ cust /' (invalid argument) and I do not know what I'm doing wrong ...
the compilation that this app left me is: NRD90M test-keys
and the rom that I want to install is: NXTL26C605B580
I would like to know your recommendations and corrections to what I am doing and thank you and I apologize for my English, which is very bad!

Sorry for late reply as for now i'm quite busy with life..can you tell me what your model before you change to NXTL26C605B580?
First of all, a friendly "hello" to everyone.
The XDA Developer Forum has been helping me for 10 years, you guys are awesome.
Now I would probably need your "swarm knowledge" again, my previous knowledge will probably help me
not further.
My goal is to somehow get LineAgeOS on 3 devices, preferably with root.
The plan is:
1. downgrade with stockroms,
2. Unlock bootloader
3. Install twrp
4. Flash LineageOS
5. Flash root
I have different problems with this.
I couldn't find any solutions with Google either, especially since almost all download links are now offline.
My first project is the P9 Lite (vns-l21 with Android 7 and emui5.0 software version: ???)
As I understand it, I only get the bootloader unlocked if I downgrade to android 6, otherwise the dcunlocker software cannot read the unlock code.
I would then do this via an update.app from the SD card, with the 3-finger method.
The manufacturer mode *#*#2846579#*#* is blocked by the firmware. (no menu opens).
- Here I have the problem that I can't find any compatible firmware.
(Error message during installation, telling me to get the right version)
I can't find out which version I need or is compatible for an update
my build number shows "NRD90M test-keys".
(Don't know why, I think I tried to flash something.)
How should I proceed now?

your fw is incomplete or you installed fw for different region (wrong oeminfo). That's why Project menu doesn't work.
With this build number you cannot install full stock using 3 buttons method. Also dc-unlocker cannot recognize your device.
Try to unlock BL using PotatoNV method, then install TWRP, flash oeminfo for your region and install full stock ROM via dload method from SD Card.
Thank you for your prompt reply !
how can i get my oeminfo ? i dont now my region which is installed.
I have seen a tutorial on youtube using PotatoNV. - but for this i must have to open the handy. Right ? I don't really want that.
