Update from can-l01c02b102 to l01c432b396

I want to upgrade the phone to Nougat, but I'm finding all kinds of information that people have bricked their phones. What I have now is can-l01c02b102 and I want to upgrade it to l01c432b396. I'm a little troubled about the meaning of c02 and c432 numbers from the firmware version. Does anyone know what they mean and does anyone know if the upgrade through those numbers would pose any risks of bricking?
Thanks

It seems that if I flash c432 over c02 I will get a cross branded phone with themes not working (Cxxx is the branding of the phone...). So, I'll need an oem info backup for C432. Can anyone share a backup of the oem info for the C432 image please?
Thanks.

Found the firmware for c02 (vodafone branded) with huawei ff. Latest is b365 on c02, but I heard that this has some problems and the previous b350-b351 worked without a glich... Can someone confirm this?

I've managed to update the phone to nougat b352. To share my experience with the whole proces, guys use the huawei ff from the google store, it was the only app with the help of which I managed to upgrade this phone... Very tricky to upgrade if you're not being offered official ota...

Stubborn P9 Lite wont flash any firmware [help please]

So, I have a Huawei P9 Lite (VNS-L21) and I have a problem: when I boot it up I see the "Your device has failed verification..." message.
I did a hard reset (factory reset) but when I boot it up it asks me for a password and the keyboard doesn't work.
I googled around and I found a lot of posts and I tried everything, no luck.
My bigger problem is that I don't know my phone's model number and firmware version. So I cand find the proper firmware to flash.
The only thing I see is the VNS-L21 on the back. Also, I took the back of and I saw two codes (I don't know if it helps): GA20 and 160521H2
Also, (with DC Unlocker and the the phone in fastboot mode) I managed to get the IMEI and serial number. The SN is: BUC4C16519008689
Now, from many other XDA posts, I know that I have to download the update.zip archive, extract the update.app file and add it to a micro sd card in a dload folder, press vol up + vol down + power and the updte will begin.
Did that but the result was "Software install failed".
I tried to use FirmwareFinder (from Team MT) but I didn't know what firmware to use, so I used this page: https://romfirmware.com/stock-rom/huawei/huawei-p9-lite-vns-l21/
I belive (from checking my IMEI here: https://imei24.com/imei_check/Huawei/) that my custom region provider code is C432 (Europe).
So I searched on the page for a VNS-L21C432B... firmware version, but I don't know what version to choose.
I attached 4 photos so you can see what I'm talking about.
So, any ideas on what should I do next?
Thank you!

Thank you for the info. I read that post and did a little bit of searching but, as I said, the issue is that I don't know my phone's Cxxx code 100% (not sure is the European version, as far as I know it might be imported). Also I don't know at all the Bxxx code.
So what do I have to do in order to get the right one?

Funny! ) I just bought it from a friend already with this problem and I'm trying to fix it.
Update:
I read this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/how-to/guide-how-to-unbrick-huawei-p8-failed-t3260704
I tried it, and: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

Make sure, phone and FRP is unlocked. There are plenty of threads with unlocking and tools.

It's been some time since I tried to fix this phone because of some medical problems.
Now I'm resuming the work and I tries some stuff but no luck...

Please trust me, I've read a lot of "FRP unlocking" threads on XDA and I didn't solved anything.
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68514977&postcount=6 I saw something that I can use Oddin, but how? And what firmware to use?...
Also other thread said that I need the bootloader code but I can't get it from the phone.
Any ideas please!?

Without unlocking code you can't unlock the phone

your bootloader is unlocked but the frp must be unlocked to , the problem is that to unlock frp must boot your device. The only rom that may fix your problem is this l21c432b370 FullOTA-MF-PV it is the PV, with this rom i unbrick my p9 lite
This rom is for L21C432B370 if your model is l31 you may brick it more or not work at all

By the "unlocking code" you mean the bootloader code? And is there any way that I can extract it or get it some other way?

My (other) problem is that I don't know for sure what exact model is because I can't access the settings. All I managed to get with DCUnlocker is this:
Code:
Found Phone : HUAWEI VNS-L21
Model : Huawei phone in fastboot mode
Firmware : NRD90M test-keys
Is this info going to help me?
If I try your l21c432b370 FullOTA-MF-PV rom can I do something that is irreversible?
Btw, you said "it is the PV". What PV means?
Thank you!

Google how to root your phone, you need imei code maybe. I can't remember anymore. And remove IMEI and S/N info, it's sensitive.

PV means point version and is used to move between android versions
If the readings are correct your rom is NRD90M test-keysand you have the l21 , so the NRD90M test-keys means that its problematic rom (it come up when upgrade from android 6 to 7 in huawei phones , if you look here you will see to many problems like your, some are lucky and fixed some are not so lucky) , what do you mean irreversible when you have a bricked phone? you can download this rom and try to install it with dload directory , i thing its the only way that you can try

Google Services don't work - Huawei P9 Lite

Hello everyone, I have a problem with a Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31 .
The Google Services don't work: when I open a Google app (i.e. Google Play) the Google Login screen appears and disappears quickly, so, I can't login to Google.
This phone runs Android 6.0 with EMUI 4.0, with serial number VNS-L31C900B170... about this SN I read that the problem is this version of the stock ROM that "blocks" the Google Services and can't update to Android Nougat.
I tried to unlock the bootloader by using DC-Unlocker (because the Huawei's official service for the bootloader code shutted down) but I had a problem with the credits payment, so I can't unlock the bootloader now. I had tried to install some firmwares that suggest Firmware Finder 9.5 with the software updater, but none of the suggested firmware had work.
So, in this thread I want to ask if there are a way to install a "normal" firmware (like the C432, that is the european firmware) without unlocking bootloader or unlock bootloader without using DC-unlocker.

I'm having the same problem, somebody can help us?

@faffolao @ITzAndry
Guys I would like you could recover the full functionality of your device ...
but I wondered how you did to have that firmware ( global firmware/C900 ).
In order to solve those problems you need to know the model L31 / L21, single / dual SIM and firmware in use before you had C900 firmware, branded/unbranded included in which region you live, because it also depends on this. Answer me these infos...
I suggest you take a look at the UNIFIED HELP THREAD for aid.
Look at post #6 ...
I can try to help you, better ask or re-read before doing.
Happy Holidays

The program that the post suggests don't work: first of all, the program don't read the bootloader code and for this opens the old website for requesting the unlock code, that is disabled. So it's completely useless. Ah, the program doesn't recognize my device, after enabling usb debug, installed hisuite and enabled manufacture mode (adb recognised it, the program not). So, are you sure that the program is a crap?

Don't know what you're talking about.
Link i posted you talks about update via dload folder AKA three button method.
If you refer to DC-UNLOCKER app and still interested in unlock bootloader read this post,
i will suggest to read the entire thread, then decide.
In any case the device is yours and you can choose what's right for you...
Good luck

Huawei P8 Lite custom rom upgrade for beginners?

Hi all,
I just received a Huawei P8 Lite 2017 with the bootloader unlock code.
I really thought it would take me 10 minutes to "flash" my phone with another rom (when I wanted Cyanogen on my SGS3, it took even less)... and here I am, 3 weeks later, with nothing done and no progress in understandng how to change a rom on this phone.
I spent hours going in circle on a few sites which are supposed to explain the procedure, but there's always something missing or a command that won't work or I get to choose between hundreds of rom without help.
This is kind of my last hope before giving up...
My phone:
Model number: PRA-LX1
Build number: PRA-LX1C432B212
EMUI version: 5.0.3
Android version: 7.0
My question:
"How can I install https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...ment/rom-aosp-10-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t4008999 as a beginner on my phone?".
Is there a comprehensive guide somewhere that would help me do that?
For the moment, I don't understand much of the installation section of the post (really not for beginners), and I'm stuck at the "required" section:
"ROM Firmware Required: Emui 8.x,bootloader unlocked and TWRP"
Since it took me 4 hours, this morning, to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP using ADB, can someone explain to me the step "Emui 8.x"? I really don't understand how to choose a working rom.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide and sorry if this message is a bit messy, I really am confused...
Edit: Nevermind, it seems like I needed to write this down to find my answers piece by piece on many different posts on different forums
Sorry for the disturbance.

Emui 8.x - please update your stock huawei rom to oreo. Then you will have Emui 8.

[GUIDE] OREO without root or unlocking the bootloader

Disclaimer
Please note this guide has been tested on this particular device and only on one unit. Please use this information responsibly and have all your data backed up before continuing.
Device info
Device name: FRD-L19
Firmware version: FRD-L19C432B405
EMUI version: 5.0.1
Android version: 7.0
What we want
EMUI version: 8.X
Android version: 8.0
Back story
I stopped receiving updates a while back and my phone was basically stuck on update FRD-L19C432B405
I decided to upgrade my device but all guides i could find require the bootloader to be unlocked. Unfortunately, as you all know, this has become quite a challenge and is basically off the table as far as official ways are concerned.
The only way i could find was to use the built in updater/eRecovery and a bit of trickery...
Requirements
1. Honor 8 FRD_L19
2. Firmware Finder for Huawei - app installed on your phone
Upgrade process from EMUI v7 (FRD_L19C432B405) to v8 (FRD_L19C432B562)
1. flash FRD-L19C432B406 partial udate (243.2 MB)
- use FFfH to find and flash the firmware
- I used the DNS-auto approach inside the app to find the update
- this will bring the system to EMUI 5.0.3 and enable the next step
2. flash FRD_L19C432B562 FullOTA-MF-PV (2.6 GB)
- use FFfH to find the firmware and flash via eRecovery
- here the DNS-auto approach didn't work so i opted for the eRecovery instead
- i found multiple firmware with the same name, so try to remember which one you tried and if that one doesn't work try the next one and so on.
Thats it, you now have OREO without root or unlocking the bootloader. Enjoy

excume MY smarphones is honor 8 version emiu frd-l14 ? Coul I use frd-l19?
