So, has anyone managed to successfully do this on a L02 (preferably Australian sourced)? 5.0 isn't cutting it anymore but I'd prefer to know what I should expect to lose (or potentially gain, maybe unlock NFC?) or if its entirely broken for this model

From one WHO fan to another?

Good information, I'm glad a thread like this exists for my new small phone of choice (I cannot reliably use bigger devices), as I am sure I will be messing with it very soon.

Thank you for taking the time to type all of this out, and for adding a little humour :D
[P8lite General] pixel989:
I have ALE-L21 was running on C185B160 try to upgrade it to OFFICIAL MM6 6.0 but ended up with error installation failed i unpack the UPDATE.APP and manually flash RECOVRY.IMG.......CUST.IMG......BOOT.IMG......SYSTEM.IMG..... fastboot reboot...i can boot into recovery... but cant boot into system....stuck on huawei Logo.... My bootloader is unlocked... i can flash TWRP...and also can boot to twrp but how i can boot into system please help me... Please!t
[P8lite General] amageek:
which build files did you try flashing? since you're on C185 (mid-Asian region), you must either find corresponding marshmallow versions C185bxxx or change your region to C432 (European region) and then flash the files mentioned on this post..
[P8lite General] pixel989:
I tried c185b525 but failed how can i change my region to European?
[P8lite General] amageek:
follow this link..

but if your device wont boot up then download your current version (c185b160) again, put the update.app file inside dload folder in the SD card and press POWER and VOL+ key ... it should automatically install that version
[P8lite General] pixel989:
So it mean that the Hardware is same... And i can safely convert and flash..... european rom?
[P8lite General] amageek:
yes hardware is same, unless you're on ALE-L04...
[P8lite General] pixel989:
Thank you i'm going to install custom rom to place that oem file into system and then will try install an european rom i will post result thank u.
[P8lite General] blokitata:
Hi.

I tried a lot of methods, tricks,and -i think- everything but the situation is the same that before i begin the "journey".

I get an Ale-L21 with unlocked bootloader,and TWRP. Fastboot don't work. The answer is always:"Command not allowed".

Try something in TWRP:Failed to mount '/cache' (Operation not supported on transport endpoint.)

Searching in twrp's filemanager, i fined many folders like supersu,twres,default.prop. and many more.In the twrp's mount section i can mount system,data, microsd,but the cache i can't mount.

Have anybody an idea what can i do with this f***in phone?

Best regards;blokitata
[P8lite General] grigo53:
Optional:•Dual sim b170 manual update.

•Single sim b133 manual update.

How:•If you want to go to dual sim just download the files for dual sim unbricking otherwise download the single sim unbricking software.

•Extract them.

•Run them.

Sorry for that but what to run? there are 3 exe adb, fastboot and mfastboot. how do I proced?
[P8lite General] amageek:
you can try any...

trying adb , you must first go into fastboot mode by typing adb reboot bootloader and then you can try fastboot commands to flash all the files.

if you directly go with fastboot, you can directl flash files...

mfastboot allows you to flash larger files.. not that fastboot wont flash, but it is preferable to flash large files via mfastboot
[P8lite General] grigo53:
thank you. solved.
[P8lite General] :
You need to format cache it can't mount it because it's probably broken. Unless it can also be an app that u have might encrypted the cache. I have same issue but for cust and data and it's due to being me being on N (honor 8) so it encrypted data so I can't do much in twrp

Also how do you enter the command when it says not allowed?
[P8lite General] blokitata:

[MENTION=7262123]Lordbannakaffalatta[/MENTION] the latest version of SuperSU is not compatible with this root. After updating the app I updated the su binary and rebooted the phone but during the reboot the phone lost root access. Now I have flashed zip files two times and my phone isn't rooting. And displays this message (screenshot)

P.S anyone who has not updated SuperSU app. Don't do it otherwise you will lose root access.

About unbrick, is there anything i can do if im stuck on huawei logo and then blacks out again ...lasts for about 5 seconds. It doesn't register charging visually but i can feel that charger is warm so its doing something at least ...But cant move past huawei logo. I tried script and push manually but cant get to stay on fastboot screen, it lasts abotu 1 sec saying bootloader unlocked and then restarts itself, back on huawei logo for 5 seconds and turns off ...

I tried searching in thread but cant find anything for my stupid case....Anyone have an idea?

Edit / Managed to stay on fastboot screen long enough to execute flash all script and it went without any fails or errors ...but still the same, after script says rebooting, it tries to reboot but its same as before, Just 5 seconds of huawei logo and then shuts down

SOLVED!!! More info below

Probably obvious for 90% of the people but I haven't realized that files (boot, cust, recovery and system) in this thread were from official huawei local update build and that I've updated phone OTA and had build with 575 in the end...So i was trying basically to unbrick with older files ...And as i was watching Interstellar again, i decided to try ine more time and came up with

THIS

site and downloaded right update, used update extractor mentioned in this thread, extracted 4 heavenly files (boot, cust, recovery and system images) and tried again with P8lite

MULTI TOOL

and ....IT WORKED!

I got error message after pressing space to reboot and said system installation failed and with button to reboot system, and it booted!

So, if anyone has similar problem and remembers which build you have on your device, use site above to download correct one and extract those 4 files and use multi tool or script from OP to unbrick your device.

Sorry for the long post :)

[P8lite General] BaronRafau:
Same problem. After update SuperSu, I reflashed only 1.zip and blocked auto-update in Play Store and it works.
[P8lite General] dMaN24:
After doing a recovery of my phone, i am now unrooted. Fastboot claims that the bootloader is unlocked in bold red letters, and usb debugging is enabled.

Running the twrp as instructed, the process takes less than 20 seconds, and the flash seems to be finished.

But i am still unable to access either eRecovery or TWRP by holding Vol up and power.

I was able to fix this before, but i can't simply remember how i did it. :(

I am rooted and my build is B 120 just received B150 ,

Can I use dload method to upgrade to mm.

Or can flashfire be used to upgrade firmware while keeping root.

If yes anyone know the process pls mention step by step.

I heard flash fire is able to flah OTA and full firmware.
[P8lite General] amageek:
Your full build? If you're on C432 or C185, you can try going to Marshmallow..

Your bootloader must be unlocked in order to flash..
[P8lite General] udtul:
My bootloader is unlocked and device is rooted .

My build is B120 asain region.

No updates higher then B150 received from huawei servers.

As I am rooted I cannot install update.

I want to know is flashfire is able to so keeping root.
[P8lite General] amageek:
By Asian build, you mean you're on C636, right? If yes, you need to change your region into European Region (C432). You can do that by going through this link..

P.S this might take couple of restarts. If that doesn't solve the problem then reflash root zip and install old SuperSU app.
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
No, it's rooted whit SuperSU

[P8lite General] spirto82:
Turn on ADB

Go to Menu > Settings > USB Debugging -> enabled

install Minimal ADB

copy twrp into adb folder (and rename it as recovery.img - optional)

connect (turned on) phone via cable to pc

command prompt into the adb folder (shift + right click -> open command prompt here - if you are navigating through file explorer)

adb devices (hit enter) - just to see if your pc recognizes the phone

adb reboot bootloader (hit enter)- boot into bootloader - if your botloader is unlocked you will see it on your phone

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (or the exact name of twrp file) (hit enter)

I think these are all the steps. If anyone believes that something is missing, just add it ....
[P8lite General] machotom:
did these steps, but unfortunately when I try to boot to twrp, only black screen without backlight. same when I try to run the script from the 1st post. any ideas? :(
[P8lite General] spirto82:
Are you pretty sure that your phone is fully charged? The only thing that comes in mind is that of hardware malfunction.

If your phone is recognized and you can install TWRP, maybe you don't have OS at all, and you might be pressing wrong buttons. (in order to enter TWRP you must press all 3 of the buttons and release the power button when you get the vibration)
[P8lite General] machotom:
Yep, it is fully charged. I have OS on that, C432B574 (I am using this since weeks without issues, so I don't think there is a hw malfunction there) and it works with the factory recovery but not with twrp... I am clueless.
[P8lite General] udtul:
I received mm update on C636B120 got C636B540.also there is another build C636B190.

I have rooted my phone already.

Is it sufficient to unroot by supersu or there is long method to use dload upgrade from sd card.
[P8lite General] amageek:
C636B190 is Lollipop, since you're already on Marshmallow, i advice you not to downgrade..

And to answer your question, yes you can unroot by simply through the app...
[P8lite General] udtul:
Sorry for my bad english.

I mean I am on C636B120 lollipop rooted.I have two builds C636B190 lollipop and C636 B540 mm. I have downloaded these builds from web.

My question is,

Can I upgrade to B190 or B 540 without unrooting device?

Can I upgrade it after unrooting by supersu or not?

Can I use flashfire to upgrade or not as my I flashed some stuff on system?

Is it necessary to flash stock recovery befor upgrading or nope?

Is there is possibility of getting Balong on these builds or not?
[P8lite General] amageek:
Wow that's a lotta questions.. I'll try to answer as many as I can..

Let's begin

Yes, you can update to b190 or b540 without unrooting the device (b190 first, you can't directly go to b540 from b120)

Yes you can also upgrade after unrooting. It depends on you which way you go.. Frankly, unrooting and upgrading is best.. But even if ypu don't want to unroot, upgrading will, by default, unroot your device.

About flashfire, I'm not sure if you can use that to flash updates. Sorry

Yes, it is somewhat important. Flashing stock recovery and then upgrading is best, but some say that you can directly flash by twrp (I haven't tried that yet).. I recommend going through stock recovery.

No, since you're on c636 and you're upgrading to same region, you won't get BALONG BUG..

Guess, I've answered all your questions.

Thanks
[P8lite General] udtul:
Many many thanks my friend.

I think I have to put flasfire updating question on flashfire thread as I am afraid of hardbricking.

I a now clear that first go to B 190 then to B 540.

But I haven't heard flashing upgrades by twrp, if u have further info on this for huawei p8 lite pls inform me.

Once again thanks for ur detailed explanation.
[P8lite General] amageek:
not sure on which post I read, but some people said that they were able to directly upgrade via twrp.. but again, i haven't done that .. mention not...

Huawei uses "official" method to unlock bootloder (fastboot oem unlock), right? So if I would like would it be possible to use fastboot oem lock to relock the bootloader? Not sure why it would be neede, but have this question in my head.

Found in one of Your posts: fastboot oem relock <code>.

Do I have to wait 14 days between login and asking? Will something wrong (explosion, alien invasion or WW4) happen if I ask for the code earlier?
[P8lite General] machotom:
I asked the code immediately after registration and i got that and the apocalypse did not come (yet) :)
[P8lite General] ch3mn3y:
OK. Good.

Other question: if I want to unpack UPDATE.APP which device (or unknown) should I choose in Extractor?

EDIT: I used unknown I started working, froze, bu unpacked all files, however when it unfroze it got stuck at RECOVERY.img and as it already is like this for 10 minutes, so a lot longer than bigger CUST and SYSTEM it doesn't fell right...

[P8lite General] ch3mn3y:
[MENTION=6645220]kiva1[/MENTION]

Download this: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v67119/f1/full/update.zip

Unpack it and copy update.app file to dload folder on sdcard. Put sdcard in the device and in Settings->Update tap Menu and choose local update.
[P8lite General] archang3l_40k:
A small advice:

I had the problem that I bricked my phone (just the still logo, no boot animation) while trying to do the latest update and at some point my battery died and wouldn't charge. Only thing that happend was the notification LED blinking red and the logo was on all the time... I was even unable to turn the Phone off. The main problem was that huawei doesn't let you flash anything or enter recovery while battery is low. If you open up your phone and disconnect the battery you will be able to enter fastboot and can again flash a working image. But keep the battery unplugged the whole time. If you finished flashing plug the battery back in and your good to go.

(Just wanted to leave this here if anyone else got as desperate as I got since you don't find any help with that problem on google).
[P8lite General] kiva1:
He now download some file by using this app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder )

Hey dudes. Really like this tutorial. :svetius:

Changed from stock B584 to B586 and can't root my device anymore. I've tried two times and I had to unbrick my phone. Without your tutorial would not afford this.

[P8lite General] Dawko:
just in case, someone wants his Bootloader Code. ASAP. Like: NOW.

The chinese version of the webpage is working. Just translate it using the Chrome Translator, a dictionary or whatever.

Then the code appears at the bottom.

Got mine minutes ago.

emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail

(with https:// and www at the beginning)

UPDATE: OK, i got the code, now I'm at the white screen. And it says PHONE unlocked.

fastboot oem get-bootinfo says that, too. I never unlocked my bootloader. I just used Kingroot sometime ago. What now? Can I safely move on and follow your instructions? Lordbannakaffalatta, can you help me out, please?
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
You did it correctly and also thanks for the information. Can i use it in the thread (with a thx to you of course) ? Also what would you like to do?
[P8lite General] Dawko:
sure, of course you can use that URL.

Again: I did not enter my Bootloader Unlock Code yet. I just enter the fastboot bootloader screen. And it was unlocked already. Is it? Or is that Kingroot which f*cked up my phone?
