How to update C432 to B560

I am glad you were able to get to B192. Sorry that I totally forgot about the data decryption. I apologize for that.

You need to FORMAT DATA and then flash the files to avoid those red errors.

Now to get to B560 there are few ways to do it.

Order of preference.

method 1 - HiCare method

I know you already tried this method but I hope you can try once again with the HiCare app that I have enclosed in the attachment. There are few versions but you can do it one last time using the one in the attachment.

Install the apk file in the attachment and then change the region to Ireland - English. Then try and see if you are getting the OTA to B560.

Based on what you said, it looks like this might not work. But worth a try. If this works, it will save lot of time for you.

If this doesn't work then try the next method.

method 2 - Erecovery method (but there is a problem with this method)

Here you need to press volume up and then connect it to charger.

Now you should get something like

Download - files screen

Then connect to WIFI

See if it is downloading the firmware.

If it is downloading then good, it will download the stock firmware from Huawei - but the problem is I am not sure if it will download B560 or B580.

So that is the issue and not sure if it will work for you.

But it is still worth a try.

If this method doesn't work then try the next method.

method 3 - This is using TWRP to get to B560

Open your settings - OEM unlock - should be ON.

then usb debugging - developer options - put it ON

then unlock the bootloader using the SRK tools (using your bootloader code)

You can follow the options given in SRK tools - straight forward

Select unlock bootloader - it will do factory reset & then unlock your bootloader.

Once that is done

Use the SRK tools to install the TWRP for EMUI 4.0 because you have B192.

Now you can take a bkp - select everything except DATA. (it will increase the size of BKP)

Flash the B560 files that are there in this link (this link is with decryption key)

These are Stock B560 files from Huawei. (I downloaded them using OTA and I kept them safe. So now I am sharing it)

Format DATA - for decryption.

Factory reset.

flash the update.zip first

and then flash the other zip file

That's it

You should be in B560 with Stock ROM, Stock Recovery & bootloader locked (you can check)

Please follow these steps to get to B560 & then you can get to KangVIP B577. Remember it is Pre-rooted ROM

Root is extremely stable, excellent battery life and all other features are outstanding. :good::good::good:

I would request you not to use the other method that you showed me in the link.

People who used that method seem to have lot of issues (especially with zip files) & they were struggling. Seeing their struggle I do not have the courage to recommend that method.

Ultimately, it is your decision. It is up to you. Choice is yours. You can decide what to do and how to go about it.

But if you use these steps I can help you and do my best to get you to B560 without serious problems (hopefully)

Because I used these steps on my Huawei Mate 8. I debranded 3 times. First I did AL10 to L29 & used Kangvip B577. After reading many comments I thought why not check out Kangvip with AL10 base firmware. Unfortunately, I didn't like AL10 so I debranded back and now I am very happy with L29 base firmware & Kangvip B577 on top of it.

I really hope the HiCare works this time for you. If it does then you will save lot of time & trouble. If it doesn't then you have plan B, plan C to fall back. Once you get to B560 it is just matter of 10 min & 3 steps to get to KangVIP B577. So I hope you get to B560 soon.

I hope you succeed in your steps.
