New upgrade Android 5.1.1 for P8

For those using beta B191 you can upgrade to B350. This is an excellent version, simply the best existing ROM today for our P8.
Remember: You have to be in B191 to upgrade.
Download is here: https://mega.nz/#F!bwQgUCAL!sYcyIO20Lmnv4bxnGX-5lA
Create a /dload folder on your microSD and copy UPDATE.ZIP (do not unzip it) into this folder and apply upgrade localy from "Settings" "Updates"
NFC bug existing in B191 is over. All bugs I had found in B191 are also gone. Battery is also better. I believe this will be the first official 5.1.1 version released first to betatesters.
I'm using it since November 13th and it's just fantastic. Enjoy it.
PS: TouchPlus is not available in this version.

This is interestng, can you provide pictures of your battery stats?

The graphics provided by my phone can help me but not others because everybody uses their P8s different.
I get a bit more than two days with 5 hours 20 minutes screen but all depends how you have configured your phone and what applications you use.
What I can tell you for sure, battery drain is better controlled than with B191 which was good already.

Nope, you must go first to B170 (full ROM) and the B191 and B350 (both partial OTA updates). Here you have all what you need:
B170: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=49884&version=118243&siteCode=hu
B191: http://dl.free.fr/vYjCHxg8K
B350: https://mega.nz/#F!bwQgUCAL!sYcyIO20Lmnv4bxnGX-5lA
As usual, you create a /dload folder in your microSD card and you put inside UPDATE.APP (B170) and UPDATE.ZIP (B191 & B350) uncompressed (zip file) and you do a local update from "Settings"

P8 gra-ul00
Is this ROM compatible with GRA-UL00 version ?

Thanks man. I downgraded to B170 and Updated to B191 then , Updated to B350 WORKS like a charm. Thanks again

i have a problem! at first I was on b120 from Vodafone I decided to install b170, I installed b170 and after that I installed the 18kb file from the CUSTOM folder. finally I reinstalled b170 and everything was working fine and without any error. But I am not able to install b191 it always gives me an error at 3% I decided to install b200 and everything is working properly. But I´m very interested in Lollipop 5.1.1 although i can´t install it!! do you know what could be the problem! thanks!!!
pd: I also tried to downgrade from b200 to b170 and i tried again... but nothing.. and I installed the 18kb file on b200 too.

Questions:
1. Did you unzip UPDATE.ZIP? You should NOT unzip UPDATE.ZIP
2. How do you install B191? You should do it locally, from Android "Settings" menu. Not using the three buttons because it's a partial update.
To go back from B200 to B170 you have to do it using the three buttons method (*), not locally.
Everything will be fine if you follow these instructions?
(*) Three buttons method (Force upgrade/downgrade)
Step 1. Format the Micro SD card (This operation is optional).
Step 2. Copy the Software: main package to a directory named dload.
Step 3. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) to the root directory of the Micro SD card.
Step 4. Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the Micro SD card into the handset. Press the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
Step 5. When the progress bar stop, the phone will restart automatically.

What he means is - in 5.0 roms there is a Mobile Standby/Mobile Radio On bug which is a big battery drainer...

Artz go to Battery - Cell standby and see if there is some Mobile radio active there

Well, if I follow your instructions I got the same results in Cell standby with WiFi and Data ON or OFF. I still do not see your point. You just upgrade it and you tell us about later.
I do not see any radio in any case.. So please, update and tell me

Besides, I don't understand well your request. If that happens with all ROMs, that shouldn't be a reason for not upgrading to B350. In the worst case, it will be the same than other ROMs, won't be?

this is the bug, it's prezent in b200 and all others roms till now
i don't have time to update, i'll wait for o stable version but was just curios if this bug is still prezent thanks

Huawei P8 Lite Ale - L02 Marshmallow

Firmware release 16/5/2016
Official website for ale l02: consumer.huawei.com/tw/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=80850
Extract
Copy the update.app to DLOAD folder (SD CARD STORAGE)
Normal Upgrade / Local Update
DONE.
PS: Copy the url since im new. :good:

Has anyone tried this? Any feedback with performance and battery drain?
Sent from my ALE-L02 using XDA-Developers mobile app

My unit is l02 too. So far no lags and delay plus Good battery drain. "depends how you use your phone".

Battery is shorter for me (could be some Rogue app like Facebook)
Performance is much better, no more memory leak
Some UI annoyances fixed, like material navigation bar, Camera settings animation lag
Battery settings is worse, too many unnecessary sub-menus
Still no Music Equalizer, but there's a new DTS sound effect which enhances audio quality on good head/earphones
Overall its an update I highly recommend!!!

Has anybody found a successful root method for this build?

Can you update straight to this? I'm on B140 in New Zealand. Cheers

You need stock recovery and be unrooted to update OTA. You need to download from the links above and side load onto your phone.

Does anyone have a link to all the stock rom's?

After updating you mean?

Updated fine from B393. Thanks!

I also can't root after update from B393 to B394. Flash Twrp went well, but rooting by the systemless method with Supersu 2.67 fails. Nothing happend. Systemless method with Supersu 2.68 ends in a bootloop.

You can use magisk to get systemless root and more

Could someone paste here stock recovery? I've used huawei extractor and I see two recoveries: recovery.img and revocery2.img. I used two of them and I'm stuck on huaei logo after updating. I think I need boot.img and recovery.img, I'm right? :> I used an ARROW firmware before.
EDIT:
Ok, it works. If someone need a recovery and boot files, link below.

Root the B394 with Magisk systemless root work for me.
Thank you!

My phone was in repair shop so when it's returned I updated this directly from clean B200 and then I restored my backup - everything working OK, only few app are missing notification sound and status bar notifications (like Facebook, and messenger) but I'm not sure with what it's related. Tried to reinstall this apps and clear data, but nothing. Any advice?
EDIT: Problem solved - I did factory reset and then restored backup. I did not do factory on clean B200 after returned from service, so maybe that was problem.. So, for now, everything works fine on B394.

Some calendar improvements apparently, but still no 'Fortnightly' setting under Repetition, which I'm not impressed with!
Am liking the new 'Eye comfort' mode though, which I've enabled more or less on a permanent basis. Apart from the drop-down Shortcuts menu in the pic below, it can also be accessed via Settings > Display > Eyesight Protection.
"Eye comfort mode filters out blue light to help relieve visual fatigue when you read for a long period of time. In eye comfort mode, the screen will have a yellowish tint. This is normal"

Hi RamsesP
I read Magisk forum to root the P8 with the B394 firmaware but I couldn't understand how it works (as I understood it needs building a new boot image).
Do You have any trick to do it ?

B394 now has Google certification.

Updated successful with UL00 model. But theme doesnt show store to download, local themes only. Anyone got same problem?

It offered my the update through the phone's built in updater. Nice
It MADE me update by nagging me constantly.

Link is dead. What is going on with Huawei servers? It's impossible to DL the latest firmware B394..... Please help

Security Update is out from Huawei: ALE-L21C432B602

Here you can find a list of all Huawei firmware for the ALE-L21.
Huawei is so far staying true to updating the phone, at least with security patches. I respect that.
Official links for download:
Dual SIM: FULL or OTA
and
Single SIM: FULL or OTA
How to install:
Official method
- Put the UPDATE.APP from the .zip in "dload" folder in root of SD card
- Make backup (won't be needed normally)
- Install stock recovery (you can extract the recovery image of this build with Huawei Update Extractor and use fastboot to flash it)
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Hold POWER, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN at the same time. The update process will start.
Alternatively, you can dial *#*#2846579#*#* and select: Software Upgrade > SD card Upgrade > confirm the installation
(Also you can flash the attached zip to get "Local Update" option back in the upgrade area of settings.
Apparently you also can flash the FULL zip in TWRP.
Changelog:

They are still delivering important security updates. That's better than some other manufacturers. Don't expect them to update the phone to a new version, they don't profit from it anymore and it's costly work. At least there's some custom development for this device, though we might never get stable Nougat. We can only hope and support the developers, help with logs etc

Just saying, you won't pass Safety net until 1st of July. I'd recommend to stay at B600 until then.

What I did (I think you can flash the partitions themselves with fastboot though)
- Put the UPDATE.APP in "dload" folder in root of SD card

- Install stock recovery (you can extract the recovery image of B602 with Huawei Update Extractor and use fastboot to flash it)
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Hold POWER, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN at the same time. The update process will start.
Now, it has to be noted that like the comment above said, SafetyNet won't pass for some time (haven't tested it) but I don't use apps that check for it so I'm fine.

This update has my phone clunky. Everything I do is on a delay (typing or keyboard appearing or texts loading/screens loading) or gets stuck (volume up it sometimes goes all the way up and so on). Never had a similar issue. Done multiple restarts, even switched slots, boosted ram. Not sure what else to do.
Suggestions?

Lol these betas are pretty irrelevant, no meaningful changes. And Android11 roms are solid so.

Anyone on open beta 19 having trouble removing the india.img file, where in the settings it states to login to Oneplus? I've tried using the India Fake Partition Deleter from mauronofrio, attempting to manually delete india.img in TRWP or a root file explorer, and the Overlay Mount Fix by Zackptg5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the root directory of your internal storage (i.e. not in any folder).

The firmware update beta 19 was downloaded in a hidden folder called .ota. So not right at the root of the repository.
