Can i downgrade to B132 from B170 ?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] fasty:
Just bought a P8 in the UK; it firmware is apparently GRA-L09C900B162 CUSTC432D001

I'm a bit puzzled as to what version I've actually got.. It not inviting any update to B170.

Can anyone explain? Thanks
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] csw43:
I picked my P8 up last Saturday and I'm on the same firmware as you.

I did get an update when I first turned it on but that was to B162 and if I go onto the UK website it also says that there are no downloads. Maybe B170 has to be approved by Huawei UK before release ?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] fasty:
OK, that's reassuring. I was concerned because I couldn't see B162 mentioned anywhere and wondered if I had been scammed with an obscure version.

My phone did come with a UK mains adaptor in the sealed box, so I assume it should be OK.

I read about several issues with B170, perhaps Huawei have stopped distributing it?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] punyawee:
battery life is shorten after update to B170

my model is UL00 south east asia. the battery life was great. But a few days ago, I updated to B170 and the battery life is significantly shorter than before....

Only 1 day later, B180 was launched and notify me in updater. After install the B180. The battery life still not great when compare to the B132

Should I go back to B132 if so, how can I do. Point me to the bootloader program and instruction please.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] multipol:
I read somewhere that if you put the update file in the dload folder and you turn off the phone and then restart pressing simultaneously vol +, vol - and power button will start a forced firmware installation procedure that will downgrade the firmware...but as I told you I just heard about this procedure...check un google before.

Can we use huawei update extractor to extract the latest software version and try to update other variants with it? Huawei is terribly slow in updating the middle east variant.

For an example: use the latest C900 software to update the C433 variant.

I'm in the UK (on the craptastic iD network) and was notified of the B170 update a couple of weeks ago.

Not too bad so far though battery life is certainly a little worse (probably due in part to the double tap to switch on the screen option).

However, I've just discovered that I'm not receiving SMS messages from my Dad. Not quite sure why this should be the case, whether it's an error with the iD network or giffgaff (which my Dad uses). Need to check up on that.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] csw43:
I'd really like to have the double tap to unlock feature.

I'm curious as to why some UK users appear to have the B170 update and others not ? Can any body shed any light on this please ?

Still no EMUI 3.1 themes though and even the new Mate S still can't manage themes with different fonts.

What's wrong with 3.1? The P8 family, Mate S and Honor 7 all have this so surely Huawei is planning to a) fix the issues and b) release some new themes?

Hello guys, this is the latest Chinese firmware for the P8 GRA-UL00/UL10 C00 country code.

FW: B191 from the 8th Sep => P8 移动联通双4G 固件(GRA-UL00&UL10,Android5.0,EMUI3.1,C00B191,电商渠道)

Source: http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/products/index.htm?pcode=GRA-UL00

Also if anyone have a way to convert properly a P8 GRA-UL00 C00BXX "China" firmware to a UL00 C900BXX "General-International" firmware without any errors etc. I'll very appreciate it.

Thanks.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] :
That's Chinese Model only. The European Models have the code "GRA-L09" not "GRA-UL00/10". So you still need to wait for the European firmware :rolleyes:
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] P Bateman:
Good in download
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] NgXAlex:
For the firmware I posted, yes I know it's only for C00 country code phones.

The GRA-UL00 has also an International firmware (General) and other firmwares for different countries, the UL00 is not only for the Chinese market.

So I just need a way to install the GRA-UL00 C900 firmware on my GRA-UL00 C00 firmware. A member on this forum succeeded to this with many steps, but he has the connectivity options issue (Mobile Networks options), and no message from him since he tried to install the General firmware on it's Chinese model. (topic here: http://xdaforums.com/general/help/problem-to-install-twrp-to-huawei-p8-t3163287/page2 )

I seen past generations of Huawei phones had some way to convert a Chinese rom to a General rom, so hope it will be the case for the P8.

If i want to push the stock recovery to replace the custom recovery which file should i choose, i have extracted a stock rom and there are 4 files that has to do with recovery; RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img, RECOVERY.img.header, RECOVERY2.img.header?

Sorry man... It's only avaible via OTA... aand IDK how to recover the data from OTA servers...

I can only specify: the next update is approx. 500Mb
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ArtZ:
I know is from OTA but it's possible to copy the update file you received from OTA before you install it. Now it's too late for you (and for us).

The secret is after downloading the file from OTA, you choose to install later. With your File Explorer you will find two new folders in your SD card creaded by OTA. You'll find update.zip in one of these new two folders of your SD card (called somming like /HWC or /HOC but I cannot rememeber the names exactly). You make a copy of update.zip in another folder because at the end of the OTA update, these new folders will be deleted.

Now with the copy you made of update.zip, everyone can update their P8, just like a normal update putting it inside /dload folder.

Hope this will be useful for the next time.

UPDATE: You'll find update.zip for GRA_L09_Europe_GRA-L09C432B191 here : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3t2turuexx2gogv/AAByxzj859eo5l0Y8NsFEuKEa?dl=0 Thanks to juanvi861 from www.htcmania.com

GRA-L09 B200 Update OTA

Just downloaded it. Now trying to see if it installs properly.

As the phone was rooted I have to reflash the original recovery.

LE 1: Failing at 5% each time. :( I'll see if I can find some workaround.

LE 2: It seems that even if I reflashed the original recovery, I needed to revert to the original LCD density (480) for the update to work. I usually keep it as low as possible. For B170, that was at minimum 380 as lower values crashed the Phone app completely.

LE 3: B200 update applied but it got stuck in the "limbo" boot logo zone. :((

EMUI is 3.1

Custom version is CUSTC109D250

B200 is a beta or not ? Thanks
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ArtZ:
No, but B200 is 5.0.1 and B191 is 5.1.1.

Even if B191 is not completely optimized by Huawei for P8, the Android system side is optimized. Many bugs on Android 5.0 have been corrected in 5.1.1 so I will stay on B191 and I will not install B200. Besides in a few weeks B191 will be updated.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] papyzebike:
You have a link in this thread page 15
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
The 6 Plus got 5.1.1 quite a long time after the betas were released, so it could be a while.

My attempt to install B191 even after changing the ROM to the same customised version failed. Indeed an error resulted in a complete reset, although that wasn't a big problem as my P8 is no longer my daily driver and it's nice to start fresh sometimes.

I have lost the ability to show the network speed on the status bar with this other (Hungarian?) B170. But I've just started installing B200 so wonder if it will be back.

Can anyone explain why Huawei seems to miss out system settings from one release to another? Do they do proper quality control checks?

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
B200 wrap up

After some reasearch and a bit of luck, I managed to set up the phone in bootloader mode, push some .img files from the original update.app and then install B170. After that the B200 update could deploy with no other incident.

So.. unbrick operation successful.

Therefore, brief on B200:

- duble tap wake up works

- touchplus present and if you activate it and then switch on/off the suspend button you get also the option to hide the navbar ... :) this was a lucky find

- root with TWRP 2.8.1 worked well

- if you plan to change the LCD density do not go lower than 380. The Phone (calling) app will not work anymore.

- if you plan to install a new update, be sure you go back to original LCD density before (480), otherwise the update process will fail, even if you revert previously to original recovery mode

- for battery and stand-by I have no feedback. After spending almost a full day in reinstalling all apps and re-doing all custom settings, you can imagine the phone is far by being used in a normal day-to-day operation mode. Therefore the stand-by info in not relevant.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
It seems likely that - like other menu options that disappear and return - it's poor quality control by Huawei when compiling the ROM.

I suspect you can probably get it back with the same system shortcut app that Honor 7 users had to use to hide the second SIM icon that showed even with no second SIM installed.

Tut tut Huawei!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut < this is the app that you can use to effectively access all settings even if Huawei forgot to make them available.

(Sorry but I don't know what you'll need to look for in order to turn it on, but if you find it or anyone else does, please let me know as I really like this feature).
