Upgrade Now or Later? L21-B171 - P8lite General

Hi,
recently I bought used Huawei P8 Lite Single Sim... the firmware is B171 It also tells me that there is an update to B199.
Question number 1: is it worth?
Q2: Would the new update make it harder to convert it to dual sim when I will need It?
Q3: If it offers me even more up to date update, marshmallow should I update It? Wouldn't It make harder to upgrade to Dual Sim version?
Thanks for reply

There's ALE-L21 thread what shows you how to make it dual SIM. Then from there go to marshmallow through flash.

Latest Marshmallow firmware for P8 Lite Firmware Single SIM (UK)

I am currently on “ALE-L21C432B565” firmware but it seems Huawei released a new one (OTA Updates does not show any updates, most likely B565 is for another country).
http://m.huawei.com/ukmobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm
HUAWEI P8 Lite Firmware(ALE-L21, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C02B589CUSTC02D001, United Kingdom)
Would be good if anyone can confirm whether they have it - single or dual SIM? If not single, what’s the latest version for single SIM?
Thanks,
I upgraded to B565 from b133. Had to downgrade first, but I got to b565 on my gf p8lite. She had an update a while back to b575. Have you tried updating hicare and trying an update through there? I'm sure that's how I upgraded.

I had ALE-L21C432B183. Force Installed ALE-L21C432B551 and then again ALE- L21C432B565, however, showing no OTA updates. Now thinking of another force install - ALE-L21C02B589CUSTC02D001. It does not say whether it is Single or Dual.
Did you check OTA updates recently? Is it showing any updates? If not perhaps, B75 is latest, but not showing it on UK support site.
Odd numbers are for single sim variant, it's some kind of beta rom, it's for testing. I can't install this update over b575. If someone wants to try don't install if your LCD is boe_NT35521S. Update b575 is here forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-p8-lite-ale-l21c432b575-t3417082
This is Vodafone specific

Just installed, this is Vodafone Firmware, build number now shows Balong C52B311, will have to reflash my phone now to get rid of it lol
gordonyoung53, lol, sorry man, thanks for the update, I was ready to try this....
I purchased P8 Lite from Carphone Warehouse. I am on B565, checked now using HiSuite and it also says on latest version. Checked About>Certification, and says Serbia, lol....Must have installed a Serbian version.
What is the current Single SIM UK version?
And where can I download it to install via force method.
Hi buddimanv, cant find a uk version, i'm on b574, also serbia version from sokkoban page
It's not serbian version, it's just certificate because serbia has different lows then EU. gordonyoung53 b589 is for single sim, I think your phone is dual sim because your previous build was b574, and buddimanv you need to manually update to b575 single sim, link is forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-p8-lite-ale-l21c432b575-t3417082
Thanks Ker21 for clarifying, will checkout B75. Also seen a ALE L21C432B581 on following link - wondering whether this is the latest ROM? I am assuming b589 is for Vodafone?

If i read correct yor build is b183, that's mean that your phone is single sim and you need to install single sim variant, b575 is the latest one.
B581 for some reason fails to install. It's ota update, not the full rom. Install b575.
B589 is some kind of beta rom, on phone information there is a one more line with cut bild c02, some thing like that. Sorry for my English.
Cheers Ker21, yes, my phone is a single sim, originally had ALE-L21C432B183, then upgraded to ALE-L21C432B551, and then ALE-L21C432B565.
Sorry, I missed your previous post #4....Out of interest, you mentioned about LCD boe_NT35521S, where can I check this?
That's display numbers is only important for b589, because as I wrote it before it's some kind of beta rom. Just download b575, copy dload folder to root of your sd card and dial *#*#2846579#*#*, then 4. software upgrade>SDCard upgrade
Cheers Ker21, will update to B575, thanks
Any result about the B589 firmware?
This beta shows that I am in roaming and I can't use my mobile data...any advice?
After reading the whole discussion ... it's a single sim, and is from Vodafone.

There are several firmware builds for the P9. The beta/official nougat releases are only available for specific regions. You need to locate the region that represents the firmware on your phone (C212) and see if there is a beta/official release available. Otherwise you can read the threads in this forum that talk about debranding your phone. Assuming your P9 phone will support the cellular bands supported by the regional firmware you are looking to debrand your phone to (most versions of the P9 phone support the same bands) then running the debranding procedure will allow you to install/use the firmware for another region. There are procedures in this forum that will help you debrand your phone to the C432 region. Once you debrand and update the region information on your phone then you can follow the procedure(s) to upgrade the firmware and install the nougat beta/official release.
Awesome thanks... Will try that. If not i will juat go and unlock the bootloader and flash it...

VTR-L09 or VTR-L29 - newbie question

hello!
I hope its ok that I open a new thread.
I want to move from my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact to the Huawei P10. I found in german shops the VTR-L09 and L29. I don't know which one should I buy? I don't need a dual SIM phone. But which get faster FW updates or get faster custom roms?
I also want to root my phone, is there any difference between both phones?
And a stupid question, can I put a mirco SD in to the VTR-L29?
Thank you at all
The only difference is the unlocked dual sim feature.
For root there's no difference and the updates aren't connected to the phone version. How Huawei decides which phone will get an update seems to be magic.
You can also rebrand your phone from L09 to L29 and vice versa.
Get the phone which is cheaper, I think L09 in Germany.
I got an L09 from German provider 1&1 and rebranded to L29 for dual sim without any problems.
huawei p10 rebrand
Hello Janno,
Do you mean you could unlock dual sim fuctionality and use an l29 rom rebranding your phone?
Thnks!

Why don't you use Oreo instead? You get Project Treble, Vulkan support, a nicer UI and a newer kernel.
