It seems that the Local update option does not appear anymore. Should I shut down the phone and start it with all the 3 buttons while the UPDATE.APP is located on the dload folder from the sdcard ? Would this allow me to install B574 over the existing B574 version ? Thank you.
[P8lite General] amageek:
Yes, this would work.. But why work this hard when you can update by this easier method:

Dial *#*#2846579#*#* from dialler and then go to SD Card Upgrade...

works well...
[P8lite General] visitor1608:
I have managed to apply the update from the hidden menu. Thank you for reminding me of that. Unfortunately, my problem was not solved by reflashing. Even if I have the same B574 firmaware on both of my phones, there are two differences between them (don't know why):

- on the phone updated through OTA, the pictures that I set for my contacts are not displayed when those contacts are calling me. On the other phone, this works as expected.

- on the same phone, the data usage is not displayed in status bar. This was not enabled prior on Lollipop before the update. On the other hand, on the second phone, the data usage was enabled in Lollipop and is still displayed on Marshmallow. Now, the "best" part. This setting is not available anymore in Marshmallow, and one phone displays the data usage next to the WI-FI icon from status bar and the other one does not have this enabled. I didn't find a way to toggle this setting on the phone after the Marshmallow update.

Other than these two differences, the update went fine (from B204 directly to B574) and both phones work fine.
[P8lite General] amageek:
Well i don't know about contacts issue, but that status bar can be fixed.. You have to very quick..

Go to: Settings >> Data Traffic Management >> Traffic Reminder Settings >> set your deisred value

After this, the network speed indicator appears just for few milli seconds in Traffic Reminder Settings and you must ne very quick

downloading the update but after finishing downloading (100%) says "package checksum error"
[P8lite General] maciekbe:
What can it be? Hmmm... Maybe the download has errors? It is possible that checksum is for download errors detection. It is good you can tell us all that you have bad download. Thank you.
[P8lite General] Figas13:
i received notification for new update,i download it 100%(new version ale-l21c432b170,size 1.2gb) and then it run a a check and show me the notification "package checksum error"
[P8lite General] visitor1608:
This worked on one of the phones, but not on the one with OTA update. Meanwhile I found the source of the problem for the missing images for my contacts. It was the SIM card. After I replaced the SIM card, I can now see the contact pictures when they are calling. Also, sending SMS messages works faster with the new SIM card.
[P8lite General] misentima:

HI , To whom may want to reply.

I'm still waiting for a response from someone to tell me if I can flash my P8 b575 single sim with b574 dual sim

I'd like to have two sim but I don't take the risk to brick my phone

Thanks in advance for your support

There was long time no new security patch level from Huawei. My phone is just 6 month old and the security patch level is just 06/2016. My old Moto G has Nougat and 10/2016 patch level. But, the P8 Lite works very well and very stable at all. It's a really good phone. But the Update-Part and Custom-Rom-Part are not so good. Futher Updates possible for this allmost new phone?
[P8lite General] Gwozdem:
Almost new phone? Dude, it's 1,5 yo and the only update we're going to receive would be Android 7.0. But, it's still not confirmed by the Huawe. They have different update politics than Moto...

[P8lite General] allrightlite:
Yes, it is my newest phone and I have it just for 6 months. That's not eeally old. Everything on this phone ist perfect. Why should I get a new phone, when this is perfect for new Software? Huawei should offer Android 7.0-Update for money. That would be a good deal. Just a dream.
[P8lite General] amageek:
Frankly speaking, I don't care about Android Nougat, ever since I knew that it is (near) impossible to root Nougat... I prefer rooted Marshmallow then unrooted Nougat
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
There are so many security problems, so that you find always a method to root your device. Not immediatelly, but after a time it should be possible. So bugfree is Android 7.0 not.
[P8lite General] Z3NG3R1:
how do I root my device? Im in ALE-21c432B574
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
You should wait. The time will come.
[P8lite General] amageek:
There are couple of ways around... If you follow MEGA THREAD, you will need to flash 2 zip files, i prefer that way..

[P8lite General] allrightlite:
So long no updates. Huawei should bring EMUI 4.1 and a new kernel with all patches. It would be so nice. This phone is on the market, so updates are must coming. And it is not a cheap phone. Cost 189 euro at this time.
[P8lite General] staska_lt:
That is pretty cheap :D
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
There are cheaper phones on the market.
[P8lite General] spirto82:
Guys I might have a problem. I would be pleased if anyone could help me. Recently I had my phone repaired (had the WiFi adapter problem and they changed my motherboard) and since I got it back, I updated into official B574. I was just looking around and found some weird things (at least I hadn't noticed anything) firstly when I check the software information I see a landscape photo. Is it supposed to be there? Secondly when I go to the firmware update, there is something written above the emui sign. Is this supposed to be there also?

Thanks in advance.
[P8lite General] Gwozdem:
Maybe it's because of the theme you have selected?

Hi, I have the p8 lite rooted twrp with the firmware B564, how can I update to this one?
[P8lite General] amageek:
you can either upgrade via OTA or download the full package and upgrade
[P8lite General] Gwozdem:
He can't! He mustn't have custom recovery or root to use official packages...

[P8lite General] amageek:
well he must have stock recovery but you can directly update from rooted device... but it is not quite preferred...

thanks for pointing out that
[P8lite General] :
Exactly what he said. He can have root and twrp or no root and twrp or pure stock. Either way he can upgrade

what the difference b/w OTA and FULL ROM?

currently i am on C432B204, some days ago fone is saying about update C432B574 full, 1.56gb. i didnt touch anything, now it is saying same version, but there is no "full", and size is 1.09gb.
[P8lite General] RizwanH20:
OTA only brings improvements....So smaller in size.

WHILE Full ROM contains every file of ROM..

..... especially useful for modded device if they want to return to stock so it's larger in size
[P8lite General] VladHD:
I don't think this update is official. If you look on huawei site, the lastest version is b564, you can't find anywhere this version + their download center is not hicloud :)
[P8lite General] snapdesign:
What was your exact question?
[P8lite General] Vika__:
Is there actually any big changes?

[P8lite General] Azzureux:
I asked if this update C432B574 for ALE-L21 dual sim was released as an oficial update.

The exact question sounded like : "Hello on XDA Dev someone just announced the release of C432B574 update for ALE-L21 dual sim, is this release official?"
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
Stop thinking because you are completely wrong!!! Hicloud IS THE OFFICIAL HUAWEI OTA SERVER!!! So you not the final institution
[P8lite General] spkahal:
There are some problems with the package

I downloaded successfully

Copied the update.zip to dload on ext SD

The update.zip is no valid updatefile

I extracted all the files inside the update.zip to dload

Now there is the update.app and this is vaild

Updater says successful and reboot

But the version after the update is the same before

Before and after ALE-L21C432B564

Whats the error?

[MENTION=7063184]sokkoban[/MENTION]; fantastic! Thank you very much. Downloading it right now and gonna try to update later today. Will report back when finished!

By the way, are you still developing for our p8 lite? If yes, where can I follow your work? Really appreciate what you're doing. Keep up the good work!

Greetings from Holland!
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
Yes, still working on developing P8 Lite but moved to work in another forum, because there is no moderators and is full of people who can not read and ask stupid questions. This topic is proof of that. They speak as if what they say are facts

etc.
[P8lite General] Azzureux:
Sokkoban calm down, XDA Dev is viewed and read by many ppl who dont know what to do, who are young and old and who want to customize /improve their devices.

You need to have patience, and if posible ignore repetitive questions, in time you will see that ppl will start to read and appreciate your work.

Regards, V
[P8lite General] ItalianWolf:
I don't think spkahal has the sd card in his body to say it's not a valid package, the phone said that.

Why? Maybe a corrupted download, maybe the phone is not the correct version, and many more.

How many people knows that hicloud is the official OTA server? The more knows the download center.

But your answers aren't useful to solve problem; you write peolple doesn't read but you do the same.

So go on as always delete and ask to close the topic.
[P8lite General] Vika__:
Could you link us forum where we can see you amazing work? :)
[P8lite General] Azzureux:
So, to be sure i asked again Huawei Mobile Romania about the update:

Question:

"Hello, my phone P8 lite version is ALE-L21C432B564, the question is if was released an update for the dual sim series: ALE-L21C432B574, and if so, when will it be available in Romania? I have the latest version of HiCare 2.0.3.302_OVE and yet I do not see this upgrade."

Answer:

"Currently, the latest versions available for Huawei model P8lite are versions of Android 6.0, B564 and B565.

If new system updates will become available, you'll receive a notification in this regard directly on your smartphone.

A beautiful day,

Huawei Romania team"

So... in Romania at least this update is not official :D atm.

My advice.. update if you want or just wait for the official announce. :cowboy:

Regards, V.
[P8lite General] moonship:
Man should surely the correct etiquette in a public forum were. Why you open a new thread if you still want to allow any questions and give no answer? then do hold your own thing!:rolleyes:
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
When you use the updater for OTA or Full package here is the phone connect. Simply install Packet Capture app and look

So where are the official update servers on Huawei? I only want share information which is the servers on Huawei but I'm not Huawei employee. So what type of questions need to ask me?
[P8lite General] saifkhan9187:
yes [MENTION=7063184]sokkoban[/MENTION] you are right... therefore i am following you on your blog, and if you remeber, you helped me there by providing pakistan oeminfo file. thanks again for that, but if you want please share in pm your another forum link so i should follow you. thanks
[P8lite General] Azzureux:
As i always believed, if you want something you can find a way to get it. Even if Huawei employees don't know anything about the update this does not indicate that the update is not out there.

Cheers Sokkoban for sharing a peak to your access gate to Huawei servers. About ppl who do not believe you, well i repeat, just calm down and /ignore. Do your hobby: improve, search, modify the rom for P8 Lite and easy enough ppl will appreciate you more.

For me you are like Hulk, you can access things, got the "force" to brake and reshape things, but if someone tries to scratch or annoy you, then you just get "strength from RAGE". :silly: :highfive:

How to update from B564

Hi,

If I put update.zip file in dload (extSD) update don't work. Force update from boot (vols key+power) don't work too.

In B564 local update mode in updater is not present. How can we update?

thanks
[P8lite General] :
My build number doesnt change too , gonna wait for an ota...
[P8lite General] Azzureux:
What you need is to unzip, on forum we got many HOW TO... posts, what follows is a spam :silly:

"If not upgrade first trough OTA or local update.

Extract the file.

You will get a folder named "dload" that contains an "UPDATE.APP" file.

Put the folder with the file in it on your sd card or internal memory.

Go to "Settings -> Update".

Press the menu (at the bottom you will see 3 lines, that's the menu).

Choose "Local update".

Select "UPDATE.APP".

Press "Install".

Dont forget to check the guides for more info :D

Regards, V.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

From my little knowledge, if you don't see a change, then maybe the install process didn't work at it should and, in your case, reverted to previous install, just like W10 should also do :D

As a side note, in one of the guides we can read (another SPAM):

"Note:Whenever you update trough OTA or local (flashing is'nt updating.) Make sure you don't have root, TWRP or another custom recovery installed. Everything should be stock"
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
Small addition:

UPDATE.zip = > This is OTA update and NEVER Extract it! Simply put the file in dload folder

UPDATE.APP => Full ROM package!
[P8lite General] geppone1970:
the file is update.zip, OTA file, I can't extract?

Putting (zip file) in dload folder don't work

In the updater menu there isn't opton "local update" (B564) as in prevoius versions

is it right?

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Update.zip contains an update.app file but there are more dir/files.....

file UPDATE.APP (167 MB)

dir cust

dir META-INF

dir patch

dir system

how to execute/be processed the other files/dir?
[P8lite General] :
Well it worked and I had a fresh B564 so? Also your guide isnt helpful for mm. Since theres isnt a local update option.

If I dont extract it , it is shows as Invalid pakage. Only after extracting it. In conclusion the software upgrade only recognises Update.app files.

And I am not the only reporting this.

And I am not some random
[P8lite General] huebert018:
Its not working , on htcmania people are complaining also. Same on androidhilfe, so sokkoban if you want to help us, we will appreciate that, if not we will continue to live with our b564 or your last custom waiting for official ota or correct update file that could be installed from project menu/software update.
[P8lite General] tamaskurti:
you can always patch hwouc to restore local update (thanks at sokkoban). Description on forum (sorry, but right now i havent found the link), but you can take a look at sokkobans blog (third post: [TUTORIAL] Локално обновление за EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 P8 Lite ALE-L21) from where you can download the patch_hwouc zip file. that file must be flashed via twrp, and voila: you have the missing local update function. Credits to sokkoban.
[P8lite General] velosa:
the same does not install. I've already tried.
[P8lite General] huebert018:
It is same if you go from project menu, just dial *#*#2846579#*#* it will be shown in the menu sd card update ( that is kind of local update)... so you don't need to flash it to return back local update option, when it is already there... what's next?

Not gonna be installing this, as I'm on single SIM, I'll happily wait for their variant (I assume to be a potential B575 due to previous number conventions for builds).

I was about a day on stock B574 updated from stock B564. Wiped everything from TWRP, than flashed Sokkoban's ROM. Did you wiped everything before installation? And did you wiped cache after instalation this ROM?
