Thanks very much for the response. Others might benefit from knowing where to get the files which are no longer available from mega.nz.

I had no expectation that the mega.nz files would fix my complaint, but hoped they might point the way to a solution. I have a Xaomi (Wingtech) Redmi 2 which is dual-sim and works perfectly well, but it is using Android 5.1 and will not be updated; it's a candidate for Lineage OS. My son gave me the Huawei P8 lite 2017, and it works very well as a phone, but the second sim seems to be disabled. I've moved the sims from the Redmi 2 to the P8 lite 2017, and the Huawei works fine as a phone. And with WiFi it works well on the internet. But sim2 is for data, and it does not work. With sims swapped in the Huawei phone, data is available with WiFi disabled, so I know that the sim itself it not at fault. And the "setup" menu does not offer "sim management".

The Huawei P8 lite 2017 "Settings/System update" shows: "EMUI 5.0.1, Current version PRA-LA1C185B224, no updates". Dialling *#*#2846579#*#* shows much info, including: "SIM Lock info: SIMLOCK-DEACTIVE" and "Vendor Country Info: Vendor: hw, Country: meafnaf". The box shows S/N:BGVDU18209004641. The box and "Settings/About phone" both show IMEI:863162031521622. The box only shows one IMEI.

I'm in South Africa. Sim1 is a prepaid CellC airtime chip, used for phone and never for data. Sim2 is a prepaid MTN data chip, and will not support phone.

I'm retired now, but was an Electronics Engineer so I know a bit of what's going on, but I have no experience with cell phones.

Hello,

I have here an P8 Lite with SIM locked, I tried to send an email to request the bootloader code but they say "we have fully stop the boot loader unlock code service on 25th July’18 and the same date is already mentioned on our Official EMUI website".

I googled but no success. The link to request the code in this topic is redirecting to main page of Huawei.

So any way to unlock the phone or... it will be locked?
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
Yea, search in a tread, you need to downgrade t android 5 and etcetx
[P8lite General] leakcim90:
I have now bootloader unlocked and rooted.

I'm trying to update the android but some link from this thread are down.
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:

hi. sorry but i cant see/search other way to unlock bootloader without fastboot..

my phone model p8 lite ALE-L02 single sim

i need to reflash my phone.

because my wifi/bluetooth not working properly

thanks
[P8lite General] Icone24:
Wifi/Bluetooth problem is common in this phone (P8 Lite). Sometimes reflashing stock rom solves the issue, sometimes don't. Download latest rom for you device on Huawei website,extract and put update.app file on dload folder inside sdcard and press Vol Up + Vol Down + Power at the same time to perform hard reset.

If it doesn't solve your Wifi/Bluetooth problem, you have a problem with the IC on the motherboard and it needs to be replaced.
[P8lite General] samsunggon:
always say update failed.
[P8lite General] Icone24:
Try to use Hi Suite to flash latest rom, might work.

If not, I'm out of solutions..
[P8lite General] Mantoi:
I had an issue with ALE-L23 version. My nephew was using his phone and then it went off.

If you connect the charger the phone get stucks in Huawei logo.

If you press vol down + power buttons you go to recovery mode and it says "PHONE LOCKED" in green (I think that is fastboot mode)

I would like to know if its possible to recover this phone?

PS. It doesn't have bootloader unlocked

PS2. It doesn't have usb-debugging option active

Greetings and thank u in advance.
[P8lite General] Icone24:
Download latest official ROM (make sure it is the correct version for your phone, unzip it and place UPDATE.APP in dload folder (dload folder will be in sdcard).

After that, with phone off, press Vol Up + Vol Down + Power and it will do a emergency recover (WARNING: You'll lose all your data, photos, apps in your phone).

Hope it helps, if not, well, good luck :/
[P8lite General] Mantoi:
I'll do that today. Thank you for the advice.
[P8lite General] centtta:
good, I have an acquaintance who has this tlm in rescue mode with error func no 10 (boot image) and error no 2 (load failed) and has the bootloader blocked, is there anything to be able to install his rom?
[P8lite General] rjda_1092:
Hey buddy sorry Im new here! what did you do to unlock your bootloader?
[P8lite General] doctor-who:
i wanna know too.... links are dead like lincoln
[P8lite General] KineSight:
Please let us know because Huawei will no longer give us our Bootloader unlock codes?
[P8lite General] amageek:
you guys are late... Huawei wont be giving bootloader codes now... But there maybe some otherways to get it around.. I did read in an article that some Third Party Company was giving the codes for some money ($50)...

I got my bootloader code through following [MENTION=7063184]sokkoban[/MENTION]'s tutorial, but for that you need to have Android 5 and must root it with KingRoot.. Remember rooting with Third Party Apps like KingRoot comes with various problems, and not advised. Unless you really want it, you shouldn't be using that... Plus I don't know if that way works or not.... (I did root way back in 2016 or early 2017)... Heres the link for that tutorial..

Cheers

As you are having old huawei devices you can still unlock your devices but by using a paid method which costs 4$-5$ .

Try with DC-Unlocker it will unlock your device.

[P8lite General] Thomass30:
Sorry didnt posted.

What is important I cant lose any data while rooting.
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Backup all your data its always advised and should be performed.

1.Unlock Bootloader

2. Flash twrp from here https://xdaforums.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180

3. Flah Magisk through twrp from here https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

4.Install magisk manager
[P8lite General] Thomass30:
Thank You

Does Internet Connection is necessary in any step of rooting ? For example magisk manager needs to download some modules in order to get the root ?
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
AFAIR Doesn't require any internet connection.
[P8lite General] Thomass30:
Thank you very much for your help.

data network issue with ALE-L21 Single Sim

After downgrading to get the unlock code for my ALE-L21 single sim P8 Lite, my phone is acting in a very strange way: I cannot have the LTE data connection working, but

- I can select the carrier and the phone is able to see all operators available or let it automatically selected and connect to it,

- I can make phone calls

- in the "mobile Network" menu I can turn on (and they are on) the mobile data and the roaming,

- The sim card, tested on another device, is working fine,

- In the "about phone" menu, build is ALE-L21C432B633, EMU is 4.0.3, imei is shown correctly, baseband is 22.300.09.00.00, and if I enter "status"it gives me correct network, -89 dBm signal strenght, service state=in service, Roaming=not roaming, mobile data state=Disconnected (note that in the "mobile Network" menu the mobile data is activated and proper network is connected.

- Before this happened I've downgraded to android 5 to get the unlock code for bootloader and then back to 6

- Everything else in the phone is working fine

- I've hard reset the phone by turning on with volume up/power.

What can I do to try to fix it?

[P8lite General] wouterbeer:
I have exactly the same as you. I guess all people that have working Xposed framework, without the call issue, were on sokkoban's b564. The people like you and me that have stock b564 are having problems with calling after installig Xposed framework.

So far I found no solution for it. Here the link to the original topic by the developer, Wanam: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960

Did you try it already?

Just to be clear: I had the problem after installing the module MinMinGuard. Then couldn't make phone calls anymore. Now I have only the Xposed framework, without MinMinGuard, and I can make phone calls again. Without changing anything, I suddenly had the error again yesterday. I rebooted the system, and were able to call again. So in my experience it is worse with MinMinGuard module, but just withe the Xposed framework it's already a bit unstable.
[P8lite General] Dawko:
Quick question: does anyone of you use Kmod with whatsapp? It seems that its not working for me...

Edit: next bug: i can't call anyone. Telephone App just crashes... just read the post from [MENTION=5109753]wouterbeer[/MENTION]. Yeah it seems really unstable.

[P8lite General] MasterMarius:
Hy devs, my name is Marius and I also have a Huawei P8lite v ALE-L21

For the first time I tried everything on a rom for single sim, and all work perfect.

When I try to make the conversion from single to dual sim, I stumped in the Balong issue (Ver number: BalongC50B311), but strangely I got signal to the first sim, second slot still not working as a dual sim, practically my phone works naw with a dualsim rom, with balong issue, but capable of making/recieving calls from the first sim card, also tried the vendor file, but no success in writing it with the normal way (put the update.app in the intern/extern memory and flash it via local update).

I installed TWRP and rooted my phone again, and hope you got a solution for me.

I tried again to flash an update with the local update mode but the install freezes at 90%.
[P8lite General] Szabi01:
Hi!

I just wanna ask that, if there will be an OTA available, do I have to do a factory reset before, or flashing back the stock recovery is enough?
[P8lite General] cristi.blidariu:
hi,you will only need stock recovery in order to update with no errors
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Use this twrp and you can install automatically OTA update (means OTA you receive directly in your p8 ,not found on a threads)without unroot and flash of the stock recovery.

Only after the installation process you need to install twrp

Hello, I have huawei p8 lite ALE-L02C183B130 (New Zealand) lollipop. Can I upgrade my phone to marsmellow with firmware ALE-L02C636B530 (Taiwan)?
[P8lite General] sibilant:
Hey, so I screwed up too. I was using the Stock Telekom ROM that was coming with the device when I bought (DUAL-SIM) but for some reason I went full retard and installed the C432B551 SINGLE-SIM version. Its working fine, no problem have been found yet but I got the balong bug. Any chance I could resolve this by the C432B551 vendor file? And if yes, where can I find the vendor file for this version? I'd appreciate your help
[P8lite General] cristi.blidariu:
you need to download version ale-l21c432b132 and flash files(boot,recovery,cust and system) via fastboot commands and then update to version ale-l21c432b170 by local update
[P8lite General] sibilant:
Oh damn, that sounds difficult.
[P8lite General] cristi.blidariu:
how did you do the update to b551,and what version did you have before b551???
[P8lite General] sibilant:
I can't remember but it was a Stock Telekom version so probably C432B170. Yes it was a DUAL-SIM version and I accidentally installed a SINLGE-SIM version (the B551).

Right now I got to a point where I have C900B500 firmware version but still on 6.0.

EDIT: And I updated with copying the dload folder and then local update.
[P8lite General] cristi.blidariu:
k,i have found the version ale-l21c432b565,so you can make a force upgrade an maybe you will fix balong,so download from here http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/...te-b565-marshmallow-update-single-sim-europe/ extract an you will find a folder dload,now copy that folder in to your internal memory,now turn off your phone,press and hold volume buttons up and down and power button,keep press until it sow you the upgrade meniu
[P8lite General] sibilant:
Okay so, in the meantime I somehow managed to force upgrade with dload method the C432B550 version which is the one I need, DUAL-SIM EU. But got the BalongC52B311 stuff again. Is there any vendor file that I could use up to fix it?

P8 Lite_ Firmware_ALE-L21_Firmware_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B550_Spain

This is the firmware I installed via dload folder method.
[P8lite General] cristi.blidariu:
k,now try to download the version C432B564 and make a local update here is the link https://mega.nz/#!ZUxylBzA!4dCjsdygvNdZTYO5TRyy5rwtwaqPz7QWh7sinPP_aKk
[P8lite General] sibilant:
I installed, then instead of reboting it "Optimized" itself so nothing rly happened, I still have the BalongC52B311 version.

I guess I'll just stick with it.

QUICK UPDATE: I finally managed to get back to B170 DUAL. Everything is working, im on 5.0.1 C432B170 and no Balong. Will I get my official 6.0 update from my carrier when they release it? I know that 6.0 is available already at some countries, but in mine my carrier (Telekom HU) isn't released it yet. Will I still get it through OTA when they release it, even though Im not using the Stock Telekom B170?

Hello

(excuse my English - I use a translator)

Is there any unpaid firmware download tool (ALE-L21)?

I tried using testpoint using Image Download Software. The PC phone detects as Hawei USB COM, but IDT reports to connect the phone. I've already paid for DC-Phoenix and DC-Unlocker, which didn't help me.

I can upload img files (Boot, Cust, Recovery, System) to my phone via fastboot, but the phone stays on the Huawei logo. Peru has been with it for 3 weeks :(

The phone does not start up for recovery. Not even with a SD card.

I suspect board software, so I'm looking for how.

I can access fastboot and some EMUI recovery that doesn't help.

What can I do? Any suggestions? free options out there? I find it hard to trust those paid services, and my currency is **** so everything is expensive on the internet.

Sorry if this is already asked but does anyone else have problem where you install xposed as the tutorial says. But still xposed says that framework ver. 85 is installed but not active?

bootloop after installing xposed zip pack :/
[P8lite General] pelukin:
Hey... first of all, thanks for all information provided.

I need to ask you something. I have ALE-L21 with B564. I installed TWRP without any issues. The root process has something weird. When you install 1.zip, reboot, and then install 2.zip, the phone gets rooted but supersu app is not installed so you have to install 1.zip again and after rebooting you can find the app icon to access supersu. NOW, after restarting the phone, and doing nothing, the supersu icon remains but when you access to it, it says that su binary is not installed and therefore, you have no root access on the phone anymore. To correct this, I have to install 1.zip again and sometimes run 2.zip and 1.zip to get all root access working fine. Why is this happening? What can I do to get root access and keep it even after rebooting the phone? Thanks for all your support. Great work!
[P8lite General] amageek:
After installing root1.zip you need to restart the mobile, open the app and uninstall it.. Then flash root2.zip and restart it... You also need to cut and paste it in different location.. To system/app with permissions rwx r-x r-x amd reboot again
[P8lite General] BrainNotFound:
Guys, my build is b160
[P8lite General] Vik0_:
Hi, First I want to thank you for the wonderful thread... It's really idiot-proof :D

I have a dual sim ALE-L21. It was with Lollipop when I bought it not sure what exactly (but it was higher than b170). I've changed the region to Germany and received MM b564 with EMUI 4.0. Then I unlocked the bootloader with the code and flashed TWRP... everything went smoothly.

But the issue was with the root. I flashed first 1.zip then rebooted as described (after the reboot I saw there was SuperSU installed) then I flashed 2.zip and rebooted a couple of times, but no supersu. Checked with two apps if the phone is rooted.. both apps says "rooted". Then I saw Dawko's post:

I tried the same thing installed it from play store.. all cool, but it doesn't work in the Apps section I don't see any apps. No permissions to be set anywhere.... so I'm not sure what's wrong. Could you please help? Should I try again?

Saw somewhere ...someone flashed the 1.zip for the second time.. but I wander if that wouldn't make things worse.

Thanks in advance!

PS: I didn't try to root with king root.
[P8lite General] doomking_99:
Same happened to me, SuperSU dissapeared (the icon was there and root checker said I was rooted, busybox installed and SuperSU was managing root). But yesterday or the day before SuperSU showed to be updated (I think v 2.76) it also updated the binaries and now it is fine. Couriouser and couriouser :)
[P8lite General] pelukin:
These steps worked for me. I also got supersu missing after installing 2.zip. But if you install 1.zip, reboot, open the app (which will send a message telling that no su binary is installed), uninstall that supersu, reboot into twrp and install 2.zip, it will work. I've also restarted the phone several times in order to check if it looses root permissions and it keeps working normally, so far. Thanks for this info, [MENTION=7234478]amageek[/MENTION] !!!
