Cant get it to update with this. I have TWRP.

I can boot into TWRP, but I cant get this update.app to get loaded. Probably I am doing something wrong...

Even if I try through the regular Update when phone is os and choose "local update" and choose the update.app file, I only get into TWRP.

So I probably need to learn how to use TWRP the right way, huh?

Any suggestions?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
you have to have stock recovery before flashing OTA. Download Marshmallow firmware, extrach recovery.img with huawei extractor software in your pc, flash it via fastboot and then you can update

Hi all,

these are my phone details :

* HUAWEI GRA-L09

* GRA-L09C432B200

I have not installed any custom rom /recovery to my phone , it is as i bought it ,brand new. I want to upgrade to Android 6. Is this an official full stable version without any bugs?This is what i need to download or should i wait more?I am asking because i do not want to void my warranty or break my phone.

Are these the steps i need to follow (as mentioned at first page)? :

-Download the Zip package and extract it.

-You’ll get a dload folder that contains Update.app.

-Copy this dload folder to the external microSD card.

-Take a full phone backup using HiSuite or Huawei Backup app.

-Unplug all cables and turn your device off.

-Reboot while holding Vol down + Vol up + Power. The upgrade will start automatically in a few seconds.

Please someone with experience verify this , so that i can safely go on. Thank you so much for your time and patience.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
you can safely update, about the stability, im using it and its ready for daily use, however i cant say if its definitive version but there was some info that its the final release, so i can recommend to you upgrade that horrible lolipop to awesome marshmallow :D
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanharis89:
Thank you very much for your response. I will try this today after work and report back. Is there anything i should be aware of?Any blind spot or a tricky step? Hope my phone runs better after the upgrade
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gazdaaa:
Hi everyone,

I have Huawei P8 GRA-L09C150B160,

There's no OTA update for me, what is the safe procedure to update to this marshmallow, I've read somewhere that you can't update from any version to B321a.

here's the "about menu" screenshot: http://imgur.com/2XOe3Et
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanharis89:
I think from what i have read that you should first go to B200 and then upgrade to B321a. Install FULL B200
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
its easy, download package, unzip folder "dload", copy the folder with file to sdcard, go to settings>update>local update, it will find the file automaticaly, right after that phone will reboot and it install it. I highly suggest you to factory reset after upgrade. Good luck:good:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanharis89:
Thank you , everything seems ok . Running Android 6 :D
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Congrats, i believe it feels like a new phone after update :good:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackwidow2016:
Can I upgrade from B321 to B321a using the download link?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
I did it and so far so good. [emoji106]
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanpilev:
Hi Guys. I'm trying to upgrade from b200. I’ve restored the original recovery, previously i was with twrp. The update fails at 19%.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
thats weird, i was on B200 with twrp too, upgraded without problem. Maybe its because of root? Try to reflash B200 again and then upgade from fresh unrooted Lolipop
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanpilev:
I've changed the SD card and copied the image again and that seems to fix the issue. Now i'm Android 6.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
Horrible Lollipop? I'm still on B200 and I think it's excellent. No issues whatsoever. B321 isn't better, there are many reports about battery drainages (20% through the night), SD card problems, notification LED doesn't show text messages etc. It's definitely not ready.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Most of people doesn't have problem with battery, as I said, it's actually a lot better for me, God knows why is that. About sd card, no problem either, about that notification led, I will test it I didn't get any text yet. Maybe it's better to wait till Huawei release official final version, but why I say lollipop is horrible is that I had big battery problem, at night (hours) without Wi-Fi,3g etc I lost 9 percent of battery which is quite lot for stand by mode, now I lost about 3-4 percent with Wi-Fi, performance mode and some apps excluded in battery saver management, it looks like it's individually
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pujolsk:
Is there any changes of how the icons look like? I mean for example Viber and Whatsapp, they look ugly with some rounded white surface all around them since I installed the first B321 version that came some time ago...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
there are available just huawei themes, if you wanna change icons more deeply, you need custom launcher which is pretty pity, because huawei launcher is pretty good and swype to search function is awesome
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 4l3j4ndr0:
How can i change the notification logos of the status bar? I hate them
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
what "logos" do you mean, actually it doesnt matter, you cant change nothing from status bar, just shortcuts like wifi nfc etc
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
I have pretty good battery life on Lollipop and quite a lot of people with Marshmallow have to deal with battery drainages so I'll wait. More - for one guy from the local forum B321 drained the battery from 100% to 38% through the night. Notification LED fot texts never works, sometimes themes doesn't work, there's no multiuser (you need root for that), no LTE-Advanced support anymore etc. It's still buggy beta.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Well, actually i found few bugs yesterday, so i hope it is not supposed to be final release, in one (Spanish if i remember) facebook of huawei was status so this is the final version, well, if it will be, huawei will win the price of worst smartphone support...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackwidow2016:
I updated for B321 to B321a and the sound issue has gone, battery seems as good as any MM release so far, no reall improvement or loss. My app's are working just fine and I have not seen any problems running it so it seems ok for now.

I personally think that Marshmallow is the worse release for the P8, they have done a really bad job with it and hoping that Android N is release to the P8 and is more stable and works better. I would compare MM to Windows Vista, a horrible release and not worth the upgrade from lollipop.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
Huawei has the worst software support in the world and that's clear for a long time. P7 was waiting about 18 monts for Lollipop. Yes, Huawei's flagship got Lollipop when some brands were already releasing Marshmallow! More - that's the end for P7 . P8 will probably never get Android N.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Im new at Huawei brand, i got this phone for christmas as a gift, i was excited about it because of propaged awesome camera, slim body and nice UI, but than i started to realise there is minimum support for mods, no Cyanogenmod at all, uncompatible Xposed (yea i know its working now, but its buggy), and the worst, software support is really, really bad (most important thing after hardware), huawei dont reply on ANY question at their support email. Well, at least i didnt spend my money for it and got it free, i really can not recommend this brand right now, when they will fix marshmallow to bugless state, i will change my mind. The case of P7 fiasco is known to me, but i understand that huawei was "****" brand for smartphones back then, now with P8 release it started to look like they are going to make som serious changes, like they want to be one of the best like Samsung, Sony etc, and the support for recent P8 is key to their success i think, because if they fail again, P9 wont have that much success and they will be definetily known as worst support brand ever.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackwidow2016:
I think the phones have come along way, good build, plenty of features and for the money they are a decent phone. The only issue is the software, they are slow to fix issues, don't respond to their own forum when problems are posted and OTA updates are slow to be rolled out. Its nice to see then have updated to MM quickly compared to the P7 getting Lollipop but still the software needs major work for it to complete with Samsung etc.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] one81:
Now Huawei already introduced their first Nexus device so hopefully the update support will be ok in future but of course they will focus on latest flagship devices.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAy3k1:
Could someone tell me if with this update the P8 can now convert the SD card for expanded internal storage?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] voyd:
hi everybody,

i have a question for install 321a firmware i'm not sure exactly what i need to do ;)

My phone :

317 firmware, root, twrp install and working.

So if i'm right, i need to extract official 321a recovery.img and flash this one.

Now i can flash 321a firmware, true ? but root may cause probleme, no ? what can i do to unroot and can i re-root and re-install TWRP after?

thank.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Nope. you need to install B317 recovery.img (im not sure if its different but wouldnt risk) Root can not cause problem as its gonna reflash all system (Wipe all, Install again)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Yes. I dont know it is working properly, i didnt tried it yet because i have many free space yet, and its still better to have apps on internal storage as its much faster :good:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAy3k1:
Thanks for the reply 00471. Is this the flex storage where you encrypt the SD card so it acts like the internal storage of the phone? Rather than just moving to SD card?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Look at the screen. Idont wanna try it because i dont wanna lose any data from sdcard and i dont know how does it works, but considering the warning i would say its system wide, so probably its gonna transfer all apps to sd card with data etc
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAy3k1:
Thanks again. The reason I ask is because this looks like it may just be changing the default storage location rather than setting up flex storage.

My point of reference is here:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/135716-how-to-use-adoptable-storage-on-android-6-0-marshmallow

This all looks very different to your images, hoping you are right tho. ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Just give it a try, its better than lollipop, no reason to stay, even if i had some volume problems, but it seems nobody other have them :good:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAy3k1:
Thanks. I need to purchase the phone first, for the wife. Lol
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Haha :D Alright then, how much it cost in your country? Me personaly would look after alternativies :good:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAy3k1:
Free with a £17pm contract. Well my wife likes cheap contracts with high spec phones, so this is my choice for her. Lol

Personally I have a Motorola Nexus 6.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Nexus are one of the best phones, huawei can not compare to them at all. But one thing has huawei very good, its camera.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silverblack:
Em Huawei currently make the Nexus 6P :D
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
of course, i know that :D i mean huawei phones with their HW and SW, software is good (however its not compatible with many goodies from xda) and unusually HW makes some trubles for devs too :good: body quality is best i ever seen tho

What's with the Inbox or Gmail apps, it doesn't show notifications?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackwidow2016:
I have updated to B321a and my LED flashes when I get a notification. Also Gmail and inbox are working fine, lets me know when an email arrives with my email tone, I did have to enable notifications as when I changed some of the battery settings it turned it off so some unknown reason
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxxxmorpheusxxxx:
No LED for SMS. Apart that everything is working fine.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marioace:
I've installed the update from 317 and my phone still appears as GRACE (GRA-C900B321), before Android 6 it was GRA-C432B180 and the model was GRA-L09, not GRACE

is that a problem?

B191 to B321?

Hello,

I'm from Portugal and I'm running 5.1.1 Lollipop B191 in my P8.

Can I install the 6.0 Marshmallow B321 or I have to downgrade to 5.0.1 first?

If yes, how can I do it?

Thank you﻿!

Two mistakes

I upgraded from B317 to B321a ... Now i cant make any customization to the block creen.... Neither i can change the font , i dont have that option in my menu.... Anyone else with this problem???

Should i go back to B317??
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blacksicker:
Hi my friend can you tell me where did you get the official recovery because I have the same problem. I have twrp and rooted Huawei p8 and I cant update into b321a from b200.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
download firmware you have now (b200) then to get recovery you need to extract it with huawei extractor tool (find it on google)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blacksicker:
ok i open the update.app from b200 with huawei extractor and i found 2 recovery.img .which one is the right one
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
pick the first one or the one you like more..they are same and who knows why

dont forget to do factory reset after upgrade..
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
always pick the first one :good:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blacksicker:
I installed the recovery via flashify and when I try to get in it crashes.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
You must flash with fastboot.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
you can not install recovery via flashify, you need fastboot and do it with pc
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blacksicker:
Ok i did it and updated to b321a. Thanks guys for your replies
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blacksicker:
Guys i installed twrp with fastboot but i cant get in. Is it because i have android 6?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
where did you get your twrp? the one that is on official page is not for marshmallow, MM version is posted in one of those thread, look for it, its called "new_twrp.img"
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blacksicker:
Thank you my friend i found the right twrp and i rooted it.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Before B321 firmware was released i was looking for some video on youtube about EMUI 4 i remember in one of them was quick settings scrollable without need to hide any, and the icons was smaller too, when im checking for the video now, i can not find it anymore, but i realized that it could be one of the tablets or P8 Max? dunno :rolleyes:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
I have a way to change the rows and columns, but I still need a way to increase the maximum displayed. This is surely a hidden setting somewhere just like these settings.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
have you seen that in other device too? or do i have just alzheimer or something... :D
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
I haven't seen it except in lollipop. I at least hope it is a setting. If not, then there should be a way to edit systemui.apk which I have no desire to do right now.

about K-settings:

Keylock now possible in the lower right navbar.

Statusbar and navbar can be color-matched.

Positions of battery, clock e.t.c. can change without Xposed to install, and and and ....
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
what, that looks awesome... im really thinking about try it, does it have preinstalled xposed? xposed seems to slow phone a bit, so i would like to have it without it, but even with it i could try it
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lataldragon:
All settings can be made without Xposed about k-settings ;)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
great, what about installation? can it be installed via twrp or its like OTA?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lataldragon:
Yes is a Zip File, you can install with TWRP. Some things are in Chinese, can be removed with a SystemApp remover program.

i dont get it, in dialler that yellow pages numbers while dialing you dont have?
