so i extracted the rollback update.app and saved it to dload folder on root of sd card. insert sd and try update via recover (both volume and power button) and it installs to about 20% then fails. i then tried flashing update.app from the b170 firmaware and this will not even start. just fails instantly unless attached to pc and then like usual if connected to pc it hits 90% and just hangs there forever. any other suggestions? id be happy to take it to a repair guy but one dude quoted $80 and thats some bull**** right there. im sure it would be less through an official huawei service center

i had also loaded stock recovery as you said. for somereason i cant access volume up recovery for more than a couple of seconds before it reboots again but both volume buttons and power seem to let it stay on as long as it likes
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] L0RDZ3RO:
Thanks now im suck in bootloop
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] greddy:
put the P8 on USB cable and put in PC (PC must be online have internet !!) and then i am not sure:

even you are in boot loop you press 15 seconds the volume up and the power key, when nothing comes you try

the volume down and power key 15 seconds, last try both volume keys and power keys.

Try it more times, in one combination the huawei recovery will show and the p8 get the right rom from the internet over

the usb connection from the pc.

trust me, for me that works.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] L0RDZ3RO:
when i hold volume up and power at some point it will show the eRecovery screen and then restart

EDIT: IT starts and works but it says: "Getting package info failed"

Double EDIT: What do I do when I get into Fastboot&Rescue mode?? Hisuite does not work.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] greddy:
when you can reach the fastboot mode this will work, see post #19

What version are you upgrading from? You don't need b200, but you do need at least b170 European version.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] modrate:
hi guys i have the GRA-UL00 B183 version with android 5.0.1 don't know if i can upgrade to android 6 or not please can someone advice me thanks.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] L0RDZ3RO:
i updated from b200
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mnazzama:
Seems like I may have permanently bricked my device. Though I managed to flash a ROM (that I can no longer find) that booted the phone it would shut down as soon as the phone was unlocked.

Tried flashing b170 and have not made it past the boot animation since. Phone has now been with a repair guy for 3 days and he hasn't been able to get it to boot past boot animation and said something about some of the partitions being read only and that it won't allow him to erase cache or boot image or anything other than user data.

He suggested maybe I flashed a p8 light ROM by accident. I can't confirm this however I can confirm I have only flashed l09 Roms since managing to have it boot as I described above. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking I may have to send it to huawei but since I purchased the phone secondhand I'm sure they will charge me a whole bunch to fix it
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] L0RDZ3RO:
I've sent my Huawei P8 for repair Huawei consumer care told me that i should so... guess i would recommend you to wait for the update to appear in the updater app
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
I'm not sure if you have already tried this.

Put b170 update.app in the dload folder on an sdcard with nothing else on it.

From b170, extract recovery, boot, data, cust, system, cache.

Turn your phone completely off. Plug it into your pc, then hold power + volume down to get into the bootloader.

Now flash each of the img files.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash data data.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash cust cust.img

fastboot reboot

Pull the cable out of your phone.

When your screen goes blank, immediately hold all 3 buttons until the screen comes on.

This worked for me when I had the b300 rollback fail. I used no other updates. Just b170 because it was the last full version at the time. I may be wrong in saying this, but I think it could be one of the last firmwares that use the 3 button update process. All the newer versions use power + volume up.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
Only b300 does not use 3 button update b200 and b317 has 3 button update support... I know because i downgraded from b317 via b300 to b200 and upgraded again to b317 to make a comparation in battery life

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] paul_jigolo:
Updating/Downgrading with USB connected

I managed to get it back to life by flashing TWRP Recovery then flashing a TWRP ROM (HuaweiP8.FF_KW44.zip) and the phone booted after a few reboots. Weird thing is for every reboot it reboots 3 /4 times before fully booting. Now i have a new problem, IMEI and Baseband show UNKNOWN. They say you need to flash via the 3 button method to get the IMEI back and i then extracted B170 Boot and Recovery images and used Fastboot to flash those before using the 3 BUtton method to flash B170. Problem is it gets stuck at 90% all the time. They say its because of having the USB connected to the PC when updating but if i disconnect it it doesnt even start the update it just says "Update Failed".

What can i do now? Please assist.

I have a problem with this file that I downloaded I transferred the file to the phone's memory and installed it in the menu on the phone did not go through the SD card when the installation is finished restart the phone, and so all the circuit restarts, certainly not the appropriate software versions available or not litter all right. I tried several of the official version of the Huawei site to install from SD card using the three buttons (vol +, vol- and power) or immediately signals failures immediately start with the installation of "software instal failed", the phone can not enter the Huawei Recovery and Fastboot & Rescue Mode or any of the ROM can not be installed I've tried, probably the last one hundred is installed jammed. can you help me to handle this kind of really do not know what to do because I've tried everything.

So an advice for the ones that want to update it, if you really care about camera quality just don't update.

We receive professional mode of the camera and if you know how to use it, can take really professional photos.

Can't agree, even in full auto mode.

you can compare by yourself, take a pic at same place indoor without flash. Then feedback if you want.

Hey guys,

I'm from Germany but bought my P8 in new zealand, where I still am.

My P8 is on GRA-L09C470B180. I found out that the C470 is the region code of asia or? Can I use the firmwares which got a european region code like 432? Will it just change while updating or do I have to search for an asian one?

How could I go on Android M? Can I just go from C470B180 in one step to C433B217?

Now maybe three silly questions: Can I do it without a pc? I think yes but wanna make sure.

Second question: Do I need to unlock my bootloader?

Third: I bought the phone at a carrier called 2degrees. Do I have to care about while updating?

Would be happy if I get some answers to my questions!

Regards

Nikk
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
Here you go. It says debranding, but it is more specifically changing your phone to the European region. You will need this if you want to install marshmallow.

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/clean-debranding-p8-gra-l09-t3210658

You don't need to unlock your phone. You can do it without a pc. Just follow the instructions, and do a backup before.

After b170 is installed, you can go directly to the full version of b317. You don't need any OTA for that.

Quoted from Huawei Software Upgrade

"HUAWEI

Software Upgrade Guideline

...

Step 4. After vendor package upgrade successfully, you must manually restore factory settings."

Step 4 is the last one.

So for those having notifications problems or bugs (cause I'm not having none) i recommend follow the step 4.
