Hi all,
I successfully flashed Lineage OS 16 to my P Smart (2018) Fig LX-1 and everything but encrypted WiFi works great. As I understand, the problem is that the firmware(?) for the phone's WiFi has changed in more recent updates of EMUI 9.1.xxx. To get it working, I would like to downgrade EMUI to an older version with firmware that works.
My problem is that I don't know which exact version of EMUI to flash, mostly because I didn't write down my country-code specific model information before flashing Lineage OS. I live in South Africa, so an image from the UK may work, but I won't know until I try. Is there any advice that you could give me on what I should try? Is there a way to back things up so that I could recover from something that may not work?
Thanks for reading all that, and thanks in advance for any and all help/suggestions.

Download firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/huawei-p8-gra-l09-b321a-marshmallow-t3352572 , unzip "dload" folder to your sd card, in phone go to settings > update > local update, and it will automaticaly start upgrading.
Few thing you should know about Marshmallow:
- B321a is latest version for GRA-09 model
- Some users reports big battery drain, the others reports big gain in battery life (like me), so its about luck i quess
- Message led notification is not working (emails and everything else is working)
- system is noticable faster and has better UI
- in case of any trouble, downgrade process is pretty difficult for newbie, so you will need to study how to do that
Cheers
Hi,
You should first upgrade to the latest lollipop, that is B200 Full upgrade, then you go to the thread about marshmallow and follow instructions there.

i will just say that this can be fixed with use of light menager, aswell as setting different colours for notifications etc.

Have you found a solution for this? I checked the net and apparently this build number is for Orange Spain.
We have the same build number, GRA-L09 C109B190, and haven't found any solution on how we can get Marshmallow update unless we try to root our device.
Please keep me posted if you found anything. Thanks!

Afraid that I haven't found anything to assist me in upgrading the P8 to MM without rooting. :crying:
I recently stubbled across a Huawei german site, but so far they haven't provide much assistance...
German site: http://www.huawei-info.de/
I use google chrome to try to translate the German language .
Hope it helps
I'm still searching
Please let me know if you found a way how to update without rooting. I'm still searching as well and haven't really found any solutions. Tried to posts to different sites but haven't got any valuable reply. I'll keep you posted, mate. Cheers!
Hi, just want to share what Majaczos answer to my inquiry.
. It seems that you have branded software from your operator. First step - clean debranding:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/huaw...a-l09-t3210658
Second step - install B370:
2.http://forum.xda-developers.com/huaw...w-6-0-t3417212
You're doing it at your own risk. Remember that B370 is still a beta, some bugs may occur.
Currently my build number is GRA-L09 C900B170
And updating my device OTA to B200 version after finishing step 1.
Hopefully, I'll get an update to Marshmallow OTA as well.
Enjoy tinkering your device

I just upgraded to 6.0 and it was simple,
All the files required were in the German site that I listed above.
Everything was done using the full update, b200 and b321a
I did it via local update and emui.
It took me approximately 1 hour after I figured everything out.
I did not have unbranded my phone.
So far all is working great. Not sure if I will get OTA after the upgrade but ohh well
Newb here. Live in the US, just got a Mediapad M3 with version BTV-DL09C433B001 ( EMUI 4.2.3 and Android 6 ). The sim from my iPad works great and I can make and receive calls. Everything seems to work ok.
Like anyone I want the latest Android and EMUI. Is it worth it? should I bother? I am an actual embedded developer, so this stuff isn't way out of my league, I just don't know exactly what to do for this device on this platform.
I found FF and it show a lot of images that I can apply. I guess C433 means spcseas region. I heard that C233 installs Chinese and that may be the latest but comes with limits like no Google. I have three questions:
1) can I install an image for a different region (Cxx) without breaking everything,
2) can I install a fullOTA image rather than tediously stepping up image by image, and
3) which region (Cxx) should I go with to continue to work in the US?
Thanks in advance if you bother to have answers

I have the same Model with the same question. Were you ever able to get updated to Nougat?
You may need to change your region oeminfo partition before flashing another regions firmware. If you dont certain things might or might not work properly.
Any help on my ME us edition BTV-DL09C433B001 would be much appreciated.
I also have the M3 Btv-dl09c433b001 version.
It appears this version is not getting any support from Hauwai. I am still on Android 6.
Does anyone have a way to update my version to 7.0?
I did try to download and install BTV-DL09C199B350 on to my M3 but it didn't work. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
I would read this thread on how I upgraded to 7.0.

Hi everyone !
i have many issues and limitations on my ZTE Axon 7 like battery drain and problems to connect with google account, remove or change it etc. Basically I'm not allowed to do anything telling me I dont have admin rights.. I tried already many solutions to sort these issues but none worked. Even if I do a factory reset I will still encounter same issues. I have european version of the phone I'm on build number ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B11, MIFavor UI 4.0, Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.20 and I want to upgrade it to B35 or a much more recent version. The update in the settings is telling me 'software up to date' so cant do it automatically.
Which version would you advise to have the most efficient and less limitative interface (maybe even avoid overlayers from zte) ? could you help me explaning how to choose and do an upgrade with all detailed steps? also I am wondering if any problem with upgrading and my phone doesnt work can I do a factory reset or nothing and do I lose the warranty doing so? I am looking for most simple way to do so (for a newbie)
thanks a lot !
Download the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM, put the update.zip in the root of SD and use the system update app. From that ROM there is a new Nougat B10 update as a precursor to updating to Oreo soon.

B35 is US. You have to use B08 or 09. But yeah, just update to B08
The Nougat V1.2.0B10 just released. You may get it from the ZTE Germany page.
@ko_wei13 is it compatible to update from ZTE A2017G V1.0.0B11 to V1.2.0B10 ? if I download it from the german website can I set any language after update?
@RobboW on which website can I find / download right package of the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM compatible with my build version?

Yes, minimum requirement to update to Nougat is V1.0.0B11. So you can download the file and place it under the root directory of your phone storage and the system update will automatically detect it.
For language, there is no issue for you to change it as the ROM is for global, not limit to German.
I flashed it on my G. Had a couple of glitches but mostly ok. They say you should do a major update after a factory reset. I didn't but the glitches were minor and it seems to be working ok now.
thanks worked great !
@yann360,
Hi,
Yeah, you can set most language in your phone. You can upgrade your phone via SD card.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I’d would really appreciate some comments or suggestions on how to solve following problem.
I bought an Essential phone on ebay this week (Sprint “unlocked”), and it came with Android 9 Pie. I initially put a simcard from an operator here in my country and it worked fine.
Due to work reasons I need the phone to be rooted with Android 7.1.1 Nougat (compatibility issue with a software used for testing celullar networks), so as a first step I flashed one of the Nougat images available in Essential’s website. This wasn’t a problem since I had already done this procedure with other Essential phones.
After successfully flashing Nougat, when I inserted back the simcard the phone did not recognize it. I upgraded back to 9.0, and the simcard was working again. The same happened when I downgraded to Oreo for testing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how could I proceed to solve this issue? I really need it to run Nougat.
Thank you in advance for your feedback!
Make sure you unlocked the critical partitions, that's needed for the full image to flash and produce a fully functioning device, else there may be incompatibilities in the radio/modem/hardware/bootloader.

You need to do a full wipe of the data when going backwards.
There is some setting hanging around that is not compatible.
I have seen this also
Hi. I've never really liked the Android version in my Lenovo but I am now facing an annoying issue with Play Store downloads getting stuck and delayed and going to have to reinstall.
At this point I am ready for a root and changing the ROM but I am rather lost in what android distribution are working and tested at the moment as after reading for a while there are some which are only for the Win version. I also see some references to X90L on threads about rooting and installing twrp but I am assumming these would work the same on my F version.
So the question is, what updated current ROMs are working fine and are worth (better than the official one) after root and TWRP on the Android version?
Also, once unlocked and changed bootloader, where can you get the official ones again?
Thanks for any help.
"Also, once unlocked and changed bootloader, where can you get the official ones again?"
You don't need it if you flash YB via Intel Flash Tool with oryginal rom.
