Hi, thanks for your help.

Yesterday trying to save the phone and make it work i manage to install the last european official rom fro Huawy site, all whent well, but now i have model: hi6210sft and installatin number BalongC52B311.

So some apps and themes can't be installed...

Any help on this?

Thanks in advance
[P8lite General] amageek:
yes for that.. read the OP... he has explained every step...
[P8lite General] Rockabillypt:
I try that but the file gives an error when i try to install...

Do i have to start from all over again with the unbrick file? and then the vendor and then the updates?

Thanks
[P8lite General] amageek:
Download the single sim version, the one mentioned in Chapter 5, and first update the bigger Update.app file, which is bound to give you balongbug, then use the Vendor file (that too is named aa Update.app but smaller in size). Use dload method for both process...

Assistance with bricked P8 lite ALE-L21

The device was running 6.0 (Marshmallow) before Update.app attempt and stuck the phone on boot logo when rebooting - 2nd attempt got stuck at 90%.

I need help with a bricked P8 lite, device shows Model as ㄰㌲㔴㜶㤸 with no drivers one can install. :(

ADB and Fastboot commands are pretty useless since no device is even detected, I am certain it's not the cable!

It boots into FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE (by holding vol- and power buttons); bootloader is unlocked.

It can also boot into eRecovery (by holding vol+ and power buttons) with no update from sdcard option but wifi update attempt fails from the beginning, Recovery mode used to boot me into EMUI 4.0 recovery mode (with sdcard update option) before update attempt. :confused:

I need to know if there's a way around this, i've done an enormous amount of research but i keep coming up empty-handed. Thanks in advance for assistance :)

Can't install TWRP

Hi,

I have followed the tutorial step by step but now I am not able to install the TWRP recovery. Everytime I try launching the "install.bat" file it lets me press enter but in the next screen, after asking me to press enter or any key, it shuts down if I press enter and if I press aother key it says it is starting a daemon, my phone gets to the fastboot screen with that nice Phone unlocked text but then the process shuts down and the device reboots. I've tried flashing the same image following this forum: ttps://goo.gl/Lx53Zx (sorry for the mispelling of the http protocol, but I can't post links yet) but I only got up with it saying it didn't have the permission to perform the action (as it's visible in ttps://goo.gl/gtdP3n I however have the bootloader unlocked).

Do you have any idea of what can have possibly gone wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot for yor support.
[P8lite General] RizwanH20:
Disconnect your charger and USB cable and try to boot to recovery......If you reach huawei recovery

Just use fastboot command for flashing recovery as final resort...Do it manually by

fastboot flash recovery (your recovery name with .img at end)

I'm new to this phone

Hi everyone, I've had my old SGS+ for a long time, it's battery finally died, and I used it as main phone till it died.

I'm gonna use my P8 Lite ALE-L21 as main phone till it dies too, now that I'm familiar to it, I started rooting it, and bla bla bla.

I have soft bricked it yet, cos I updated it to B595 via OTA and then I made mischief with it.

So, I had to recover it from softbrick following this thread, and now I'm much more familiar to this phone and the way of rooting and all this.

Right now I'm on B551, rooted bootloader unlocked, got TWRP, Xposed Framework installed and multiuser account.

I want to go further, but I want some info on how to.

Want to install a tuned ROM, for daily use, I have no problem on having to test things, I did many many times with my old SGS+ and I even helped developers on testing and translating into Spanish some apps for our phone.

But I want to free some space, delete the apps I don't like and don't use, and make the battery last longer.

If this structured programmer can help, just let me know, I can test things, translate into Spanish, and want to get the best from this phone. No problem if I have to use a new Samsung A5 as main phone for a short period of time while I get more used to this P8 Lite.

So, I'm offering my help if welcome as tester, translator or sth I can do on structured programming (php, mysql, html, css, js...). BTW I'm also learning Python.

I also encouragedly ask on what ROM should I try for now, and if after installed it I have to re-root my phone or not (with some ROMs on my SGS+ root was lost and had to re-root it), do I have to upgrade/downgrade to go to the recommended ROM? (running B551 right now).

Thx in advance,

Kazi

Thanks again,

The file you talk is the B133? not found on download link..
[P8lite General] amageek:
Ok i checked that link and it did not work..

But you can try this... It i from Carbon Tesla and I verified it before posting...
[P8lite General] Rockabillypt:
Thanks for your help amageek

Downloading...
[P8lite General] Rockabillypt:
b133 stops at 5% when installing ...
[P8lite General] amageek:
Did you tried changing your region to European?

If not do that once and try upgrading... Or I think thia is downgrading so dload method does not work...

If its latter then you must downgrade via fastboot.. you must flash 4 images (boot, cust, recovery and system).. the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hey man, I'm so regretted, i was using stock rom+rooted+Esal kernel. i wanted to upgrade to the B594 rom, so that i could use the stock kernel because the custom one was a little bit buggy and i wanted to try the cerebus v2 rom. but i was trying to update but i couldn't get into the software installer software(i did put the update file into the dload folder), so i decided to extract the update recovery, and install it, but it was useless, i couldn't either get into the software installer, i did install again twrp recovery and i full wiped the device and install the cerebus v2 rom, now i stuck at huawei logo, but im able to install thing via fastboot, i even tried to install the whole stock rom via fastboot but i'm still stuck at the huawei logo. please man help me
[P8lite General] Rockabillypt:
Sucess!

Follow your indications, use fastboot to flash the 4 images of B133, then reboot... no signal and no update. Use the same method to flash B203 and then dload method to update to B565.

all whent well and then the phone update via ota to the B595.

Thanks alot amageek for your time, patience and help :good:

Hey guys, i have flashed the xposed with this method but it has kind of bootloop. It was stucking at logo but then i flash xposed uninstaller and the phone was alright. Then i flash xposed v85, 84, 79. But in xposed it was telling me that: "Xposed framework version 85 is installed, but not active. Please check the log for details".

Then i cheked the forums and someone told me that i have to do this:

really easy open root explorer and go to

root/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf

there must be a file name disable just delete it and reboot ur phone

done.

But in the root folder is empty :( there is no file :/
[P8lite General] ovi143:
I have the same problem as you. I'm on stock B564 and after i installed the Xposed i can't make phone calls anymore. I have no modules installed. My model is ALE-L21.

Did you managed to fix this? Anyone knows how to fix this?

Here's a video with what happens when i try to make a phone call:

https://youtu.be/cDmiOQEENcg

LE: Sometimes, after a few reboots, it works and if i reboot again it stops working again.
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
This is 85 and did you wait long enough?

Your the second one having trouble... need some answers. Did you came from a different model (l23-l02)?

Did you have a different region? (Build numner the c432 is something else)

Gonna test this tonight 21.00+1 gmt. Not on stock right know
[P8lite General] ovi143:
My model was always L21

The build number is C432B564

Initially it had android 5.0, I updated it manually to B560 and after that i updated to B564 using OTA.
[P8lite General] huebert018:
guys for xposed read thread ''xposed for marshmallow'' and read it carefully, all works, pick the sdk23 version ( it is for marshmallow ) , give it a chance with few restarts through a day if it is not activated, it will be activate during the day... do not rush :) . I had same issue, not with this custom xposed (don't know where did you find it), my version is 85 and it is active, all works well after few restarts. And don't restart from xposed, it says that some file is not found and cant reboot from there, restart phone from power menu. Also install busybox before xposed if you don't have it installed.

Hi, I'm on Android 5.0.2. I rooted the phone, but instead of copying the eu.chainfire.supersu-1 folder to /system/app I accidentally deleted it.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Try the first method for root on 5.0 the other with the copy is for 6.0
[P8lite General] ales_x1:
Thanks for a quick reply, but I don't understand what you mean...

I did this:

And after that I tried to do this:

But instead of cutting I deleted the eu.chainfire.supersu-1 folder.

I haven't reboot the phone yet. Should I undo the root through the SuperSU app and redo it again? Or should I install/update SuperSU from Play Store/apk file? Is there any other solution?

Thanks again!
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
That last part was only for root on the android 6.0
[P8lite General] ales_x1:
Ok, now I understand.

But what should I do now? Can you share the content of the deleted folder so I can put everything back? Or is there another solution?

Thanks!
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Just root it again
[P8lite General] pilililo2:
Hey, sorry for asking this because it might be a stupid question. But a month ago I got this phone and without reading anything or informing myself (silly me) i went ahead and upgraded to C432B565 and got balong bug, but didnt take care of it because I noticed that everything was working well. So imagine I wanted to fix it. I went ahead and tried flashing that little UPDATE.app (custom folder of C432B132 version) file through stock recovery but it said that it failed and just didnt change anything, Balong build number still there. Its not important or anything, but what would be the correct process to fix it?
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Hehehe you lazy one . :D

Try the vendor from a 6.0 build. That could work. If not start from the beginning
[P8lite General] pilililo2:
Thought about it. Do you know which 6.0 build also contains vendor file?

Thanks in advance
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
I would say the b560 or the b551 would have the most chance. Dont know for sure.
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
how did you get the balong anyway

By converting or by region chance
[P8lite General] pilililo2:
Ill try the 560 later on this afternoon then. Well what I did was flash B565 from the version that came with the cellphone which I think was B180 or something like that and I got balong bug.
[P8lite General] amageek:
try going to fastboot mode and install stock cust, recovery, boot and system... and if it succeeds, flash twrp again and re-install custom ROM again...
[P8lite General] ghalalb:
Downgrade from a Balong

Hi, after some advice. I'll start with how I got to where I am. Started with an ALE-L02, flashed ALE-L21 B132 then fixed Balong with vendor update.app. Great, all was well and no Balong. Then did a couple of OTA's, still all going well. Then received the OTA update from Lollipop to MM. Upgraded OK, but I've got a Balong bug on a ALE-L21 B574, it doesn't say Balong, the build is correct but shows as hi6210sft rather than ALE-L21

So reading this guide i'm thinking I just flash ALE-L21 B133 to go back to single sim, apply vendor update.app and then OTA from there up to MM.

Can someone confirm that's the correct process?
[P8lite General] amageek:
just try updating the vendor update.app from b132... that should work i guess
[P8lite General] ghalalb:
Thanks amageek, gave that a try but it didn't work
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
that message is from google so your on marshmallow, its a safety feature. and is a confirmation that your bootloader is unlocked. just reflash anything see bricked chapter. and start from there. good luck
[P8lite General] dMaN24:
For some stupid reason i checked if there was an update available from the updater on the phone. (ALE-L21)

Long story short, i now have B594. I lost root, which i realized after accepting the update. But i also lost TWRP.

1. Do i just run the fastboot script from the computer?

2. Can i use the same zip-files to root B594 as with the previous build?

I had serious issues getting the phone rooted before, and i don't want to mess it up again.

I only use root mostly for Adaway.
[P8lite General] amageek:
Use two zip method found on OP... And yes you have to flash TWRP again...

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Sorry man don't know other way
[P8lite General] dMaN24:
Thanks. Yeah, i would be using the same zipfiles.

I tried to flash the 2.8.7 TWRP. But i assume i should try using the 3.1.0 instead? :)
[P8lite General] amageek:
yes what you assumed is correct... TWRP v. 2.8.7 is only for Lollipop... not compatible with Marhsmallow... Flash either TWRP v 3.0.2.0 or V3.1.0
[P8lite General] lepidas:
So first I need to thank the author of this article, I followed almost all steps (until rooting) under the given instructions and success (you have to update though that the latest TWRP is 3.1.something)..

The question is how to unroot; I want to go there but I need to know if there is a way to revert and how.

Thanx in advance

So...

My father in law had an unlocked P8 Lite (ALE23) from argentina, and asked me to update it.

The update to 6.0 from the official update files for this place failed, and so i installed the latest 5.0 in hopes that then i could go to 6.0.

I could not, and i had the balong thing (no sim detection issues tho).

Then i found this thread, and tried to remove the balong thing as per instructed, which failed, and phone was wiped :P (duno why).

I ended up applying the unbrick files and then the 6.0 update, and i was happy.

Any way to get him the EMUI 3.4 stock theme, icons and wallpapers ? he is an old man and now hates change.

Update to C432B598

Hello everyone.

I have an ALE-L02 with stock recovery, root and unlocked bootloader. Last year, I manually updated it to ALE-L21C432B170. Now, I want to update to C432B598. Just to confirm, I download C432B598, and basically follow the steps under Chapter 6: Upgrading to Marshmallow. Will I loose all my data in the process?

[P8lite General] Ken_Jutsu:
The only thing I noticed after the update and root, was that all my WhatsApp images were blurred. They are still under Gallery and are still fully viewable. They also appear fine via the WhatsApp desktop app and web interface. The images are stored under the default WhatsApp folder on internal storage. Since the images are still under Gallery, it didn't worry me too much. Later I got another image sent via WhatsApp, and WhatsApp asked for permission to access SD storage. I granted it access, and everything was fine from there. Seems obvious now, but it never crossed my mind ;)

Then

Vendor Country Info

if you got some info like this

then you are fine with vendor information.

Now just install build prop editor and edit the build number to the firmware build number you installed.

if you cant get succeeded go this site http://huaweip8lite.blogspot.in/ and flash the vendor file available from there or else installed specified twrp and restore twrp backup provided from that site.
