P8 Lite Middle East & Africa Update

Hey there.
I have a Question.
I came from Germany and buy my P8 Lite on Amazon.
The Phone itself is absolut Powerfull and i like it.
But it is a Model for the Middle East & Africa.
Build Number isALE -L21C185B180 and has German Language in it´s Setup.
Updating to Marshmallow is not possible via OTA while it is not for the European Market.
Now i found the Middle East Update to ALE-21C185B525.
Is there anybody who can tell me that German Language is avaible in this Update?
Can someone tell me how to Upgrade this and warn me from Problems with the Manual Update?
Thanks a lot.

As far as I know, all versions have most languages, especially, let's say, strong languages like German.
But on XDA you can find many threads about how to change locale of device and update to any version you like, stock or custom, with or without root and with or without custom recovery. This is fine device and we have a few options.
Look here:

Hahah ok then It must be a new version then which I don't know, bcz my phone has the same version as yours actually but I moved to Europe version , could you please share the changelog of this version ? Thank you

I don´t have a changelog.
It is the Firmware that was on the Phone as it get´s delivert.
I do not update anything.
Can you tell me how to change to European Version or share a link to a tutorial.
Iam still not happy to buy a Phone in Germany and get one from Africa.

Yes, you just need to unlock bootloader first then flash the oeminfo EU zip then flash EU lolipop rom then you can upgrade to marshmallow too if you want
If you need help just tell me

Why doesn't my P9 see the latest update OTA?

Hi,
I just got a P9 a couple of days ago, it has L09C432B170 installed.
I see in the forums that L09C432B180 is the latest but if I check for an update my phone tells it is up to date.
I am in German on 1&1 but phone is unlocked and unbranded...I just came from Windows Mobile so I am bit behind of if Android device updates need to be approved/released by the network before push to devices these days.

ROM for AL00?
I have an EVA AL00 - a Chinese version of the phone. I was experimenting with the newly release Marshmallow ROMs, which installed successfully, but subsequentlly by mistake downgraded to a 4.1.1. EMUI ROM which looks nothing like the original Chinese EVA-AL00 ROM. I have since been unable to install any other ROMs or upgrade them via dload on SDCard. The current ROM I seem to have is EVA-C900B162.
Three questions which I am hoping members of the forum can help with:
1. Are there links to original Chinese ROMs? Which one should I download? http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586
2. The ROM I have now - what is its country of origin?
3. Which Marshmallow upgrade ROM should I use?
Thanks!

1. Non of the roms in the link is for the Chinese Version.
2. C900 is a Global version so i dont know exact what rom u installed but i Think u have used C432 wich is a EU version.
3. Here is a Chinese Stock rom u can use to your phone.

I tried installing the ROM you sent by putting the UPDATE file in to the dload folder, powering down, howling Vol Up+Vol Down+Power (as always) and when I get to the update screen at 5% it says software is incompatible. Any suggestions? The phone is not rooted and twrp is not installed.

Your Vendor is All and should work with any firmware. What firmware did u flash with so it became C900? Best would be to unlock bootloader and debrand it to C432 with SrkTool Huawei.

See, that's the thing. I was trying a number of firmware files. I had flashed it to the forthcoming Marshmallow release (the one that says EMUI is 3.1, but in fact it was 5) and it worked fine. Then I by mistake upgraded to the current version and I have no idea which specific file I used. I tried upgrading back to Marshmallow or to another existing version and can't do it. I am sure this has been posted already but can you shared the instruction for:
1) unlocking the bootloader
2) debranding it to C432
Thanks!

Hello, lads, I'm new here. I'm seeing that people have version B170/80 but mine is still on B152. I received my phone a week ago. Why is it so?

I'm still stuck on 160. I'm using a phone supplied by three network.
Can I get the 180 update or what is the latest I could use?

Hi mate,

Everything seems really good so far.

That is because u flashed a C432 firmware on your C02 phone. If u do that u will end up as C900. U need a EVA-L09C02Bxxx full stock firmware to flash back your phone to normal state.

It's will be solve. I try this

A possible method for ANY P9 to update to Android 7.0

I have tried it and it works perfectly for my Huawei P9 EVA-L09C636B190. I think this method will work on ANY model of P9, any region.
I'm now on EVA-L09C636B320. With everything normal. No development version. I think it is offical. Now im trying to update to B361 with the same method.
Here's what you need:
Huawei Hisuit
Huawei firmware finder
Huawei updater
First, make sure your P9 is updated to the latest EMUI 4.1.1, then use the firmware finder, simply choose the 'common database', and enter your model number, such as 'EVA-L09C636', then click 'update' of the first version of B3xx, but dont download it.
Try to copy the download link 'http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73968/f1/full/update.zip'
And delete everything after 'f1' make it like this ''http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1256/g104/v73968/f1'
Then you can use the method in this thread

And enjoy your new Android.

Ah I got a problem, I'm now on EVA-L09C636B320, when I'm trying to update to B361 it shows error....................

Hello there, I did every step mentioned by OP here and did the steps detailed in the linked post. Everything is going fine, firmware is downloading and if I'm lucky it will finish doing it in about 3 or 4 hours (yes, ****ty conection). Anyways, Firmware Finder found this EVA-L09C605B360 and I'm currently on EVA-L09C605B135 I can clearly see that it may work and have Nougat by the end of this day that but I'm concerned about this method and its safety; is it safe, can I trust in FF? Am I doing any damage or restricting this phone's future capability to receive OTAs? Like I said I got plenty of time to stop the update process if in any case my phone is going to be bricked or dead by flashing lol
I'm expecting your answers or experiences
Cheers.

Hi, thanks for reply
Unfortunately I'm not sure if OTA works or not. Because there's still no official update through OTA.
But the update for me works fine, no bugs found currently.

So that means if OTAs don't work we will have to update following the same procedure we followed here to update to a more recent compilation/version of the ROM? Thanks for answering!

im on l09c34b140 and with the method theres no update apart from the one i have (my one seems to be the latest). Would it work if i just used a c636 version or sth like that?

Because C900 is a result of a crossflash between different Cust version ie C636 to C432 without unbranding your phone.
