I've used forced update.

Press the power button until the phone turns off, then immediately hold the vol + and vol - buttons as well (so every button), until the update starts.

The UPDATE.APP file for the B230 ROM has to be on your external sd card within a folder called dload.

After this procedure has finised, rename the UPDATE.APP file to something like UPDATE.APP_bak, and put the UPDATE.ZIP file in the same folder.

Now you can use the phones built in Updater app to update via "Incremental update".
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:
It stops at 0% and it says the same. Any other solution?

Wysłane z mojego ALE-L21 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[P8lite General] daviddosa:
Then use the Huawei Update Extractor, extract the UPDATE.APP and flash the files one by one.

There's already a few topic in this forum talking about this problem.
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
My friend

You get the Balong error because you dont change the location to unicomelectric/cn

Please ALL READ the first post of toppic. FIRST and foremost you need change the location!!!
[P8lite General] daviddosa:
I didn't change the location...just put the UPDATE.APP into the dload folder and it worked.

I've managed to root this ROM using Chainfire's SuperSU v2.62 package (LINK).

Yes, I know it's not the most recent version, but I got into bootloop with the v2.67 version.

The bootloader stays unlocked after an update. You just need to reboot into fastboot mode, then install and boot into TWRP, and just simply flash the downloaded package.

If you run into bootloop, just flash THIS package, and it'll undo what the SuperSU package done to your device, so you'll be able to boot up again.
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:
And the question is how you do that? I was looking for it and couldn't find... The only solution I found was the fake location software but it won't help.

Without changing location the installation of b230 stops at 90%. Any help?

Nevermind I found how to do it.
[P8lite General] Soularis sun:
Can you tell us how you changed the location
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:
It is little complicated. First of all the device has to be rooted.

Then you have to type correct region in one file using root explorer.

Type unicomelectric/cn in google and it will find you a guide step by step.
[P8lite General] Soularis sun:
So there is no solution without root
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:
I have installed b230 now I have got 5.0.2. How to instal this b535 now? I tried force install but the file is something like 180MB and after installing it stays on logo. What to do to install it?
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
May be you download wrong update.zip :)

B535 is 1.1GB
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:
I know it's 1.1GB but the update.app file is like 180MB or is there other way to install it?

Does stock recovery read .zip?
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
Update.zip no need to unzip!!!! Why you unziped?

Just put update.zip(1.1GB) into dload folder on your SDCard or internal memory!!! Then install as local update!
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:

[P8lite General] rogermachadostb:
I'm feeling juuuuust a little jealous because my P8 Lite "died" on me on Friday and I just got selected to the Portuguese beta phase. I feel awful. My heart aches. I wanna test it.

Is there really a Lightpainting mode?

Did the "running apps screen" change to a sliding screen instead of that god awful 4 tile selection?

How's the battery? The permission choices that come with 6.0? Doze?
[P8lite General] daviddosa:
Yes, however it just makes lots of pictures and mashes them up into one at the end, not the real decreasing the shutter speed thing, but it works well.

The running apps screen has a horizontal continous layout, you can swipe up the apps individually to close them, or PRESS the little trashcan icon to close them all, so no need to pull up.

As of the battery life-time, I cannot say a thing yet, managed to get it running at yesterday evening, today is the testing day.

The permission setting a bit more personalizable. You can tell which app can modify what, and what not, you can easily change default apps(like in Windows10).
[P8lite General] MarcoD97:
I would really appreciate that you could try to watch 360 video on YouTube? Can you watch? I mean can you move your phone as you watch the video and of course the video moving in that direction where you move it?

[P8lite General] rogermachadostb:
I can't wait for my phone to come back repaired so I can test it as well :) Thank you! I was getting annoyed by that running apps screen lollipop had.

HI my friends.

I have a P8 lite with ALE-L21C185B130 firmware version and I tried to change my phone location using a method was for Honor 4C exactly!!

After that boot animation of my phone turn to "HONOR" (that method was for Honor 4C exactly), But I forgot to take a backup of my original "oeminfo" file. :crying:

So anybody that has Rooted P8 lite with "L21C185B120" or "L21C185B130" firmware please take a copy of "oeminfo" file and upload it for me using this guide:

1. go to ES File Explorer and enable Root Explorer in left side menu> tools

2. go to this path: device/ dev/ block/ platform/ hi_mci.0/ by-nam

3. copy "oeminfo" file from above path (don't change or delete any thing!)

4. Please upload it for me. I need it orgently!

Thanks for your helps.
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:
Actually you don't have to get this file back, it will automatically update when you install b230.
[P8lite General] amir_parviny:
You right, but I didn't flash b230, and don't want to do this, also don't want to flash my original firmware because lose my data.

please send me the file, so I'll can fix my phone without losing data. :(

Hi Guys,

Has anyone tested so far the 'double-tap' problem on this 6.0 firmware? (as far as I have tested the bug is present in all pre-6.0 firmwares affecting all types of keyboards).

NOTE: If you are happy user that is NOT typing letters by tapping the letters on keyboard but using sliding/swiping - please don't reply to my post - as this is quite obvious that it IS working this way but some people would like to TYPE instead of SWIPE...
[P8lite General] buczoslaw:
I am typing and I havent seen any doubled letters so far.

Hi guys,

So, first off - bad news. Double tap is still a problem (tried a thick glass screen protector which helped a lot, but it was bad with fingerprints, so I had to take it off). Notification dropdown is still as horrible.

Good news:

You can launch apps off the lockscreen by sliding them right.

Navbar is transparent.

Music player (default) is now on the lockscreen and looks very nice.

And the very bad news - no root. I did get it at first, worked until the first restart. After a couple of times it stopped working all together, so I have to stick with horrible Huawei apps.

Update was really easy with [MENTION=1706984]S3V3N[/MENTION] tools (from the polish website he linked in this post).

So yeah, waiting for root...
[P8lite General] Erazor84:
Slide right to start the apps work also in B171 and the Navbar is also transparent in many apps with 171 ;)
[P8lite General] empy16:
Well, no good news then?
[P8lite General] mikel10k:
so what i have to do to install it?
[P8lite General] daviddosa:
The root we are using has two methods to root.

The first, which has a higher priority is "systemless" root. It means, the script will not modify the /system partition at all. And this is the preferred. If the script can make the bootimage for it, it'll.

The second is the old method, which modifies the /system partition as needed, but this will only be the case, when the script fails to do the other method.

However, Chainfire made a little trick in his script to use the second method no matter what.

I know about this, know how to do it, but haven't done it yet, because in lack of time.

I'll try to modify the flashable SuperSU zip, and flash that, and report back tomorrow.

I went the correct route when installing... from B130, changed the region to China to B230 to B534... However in system information is says BalongC50B311 as its build number. Ideas anyone? Also, this update is awesome. This has been my only drawback so far. Running at 280DPI is great too. Charging is A LOT faster and battery performance is improved. All round, this is an improvement.

I'm on B524. First need twrp, than root device, right?

So first change location replacing oem file with root explorer. Then reboot device:to fastboot mode? or Reboot system? When I reboot system it sends me automatic to twrp, so here I reboot to bootloader and follow this steps:

Flash fastboot downgrade B052 from your links, right. When its done: wipe data factory. Here it does not have balong bug.

Flash fastboot B230, wipe data factoty and wipe cache, rigth? Here shows balong bug.

Then update with B535, wipe data factory, rigth? Here balong bug too.
