[GUIDE - L31] How to change C432 to C636 in order to get B361 Nougat - Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi, everyone.
I did this to my device and succeeded, so I thought I'd share the procedure with you, if you want to do so, too.
IMPORTANT: I am NOT responsible if you damage your device by following this guide; I am an XDA member like you and I am just sharing a guide that worked for me.
I am assuming you have all the Huawei and ADB drivers installed on your computer and know some basics on how to do these things; if you have no clue where to start, don't risk.
First of all, you need to be in C432B161.
You need to download:
1. This toolkit https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873 and relative package for C432;
2. OEMinfo for C636 you can attached to this post (thank you to the creator);
3. B170 update.app from C636 you can find in this package (1) http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66846/f1/full/update.zip
4. the firmware package and data files (B361) you can find here
(1) http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1258/g104/v77171/f1/full/update.zip (2)http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...cseas/update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_spcseas.zip
Procedure
1. Back up all your data because this is going to erase everything from your phone;
2. Open the toolkit, and after installing the package for your device, unlock your bootloader, install TWRP and root your device which you can also do directly from the recovery (the tool is very easy to use and I am not going to be extremely detailed on this one);
3. In the toolkit, change the OEMinfo of your device by selecting the custom.bin and OEMinfo you find in the package attached to this post;
4. Reboot your device by entering the Huawei recovery and do a hard reset/cache clean from there;
5. Insert the update.app file you find in the C636 update package (which is B170) in a folder on your SD you rename "dload" (obviously without the brackets);
6. SD in your device, press the volume keys and power button to upgrade your phone to C636B170... I got an error during this process, but the phone booted and I proceeded regardless;
7. Do the same procedure as before: this time only unlock bootloader and install TWRP recovery by using the toolkit, and in the meantime put the two files to upgrade to B361 in your SD and put it back in the device;
8. Enter TWRP by pressing volume up + power button, install the update package first and then the data files;
9. Do a hard reset from the Huawei recovery you now have, and clean the cache. Reboot;
You are now in C636B360, the Nougat update I find the most stable.
If you want to get rid of the initial booting warning, you can relock your bootloader by doing so:
1. Connect your device to you PC, and from the ADB drivers folder on your hard disk, you open a CMD command (right click on your mouse while holding Shift, then "open command in here" or something similar)
2. Switch off your device, then connect it to USB and immediately switch it on while holding volume down button;
3. In the CMD window, type "fastboot devices" and then Enter to make sure your PC detects the phone;
4. Type oem relock + your bootloader code;
5. The phone will ask you if you want to relock the bootloader;
Done!

Hello
Tuto perfect :good:
thank you

My dude.

Happy to hear it's well done/it helped somebody

On step 7. Can i update has in step 5. Put firmware update.app and then the Data update.app (with eRecovery - Vol+Vol-POWER)? (like that i dont need to unlock bootloarder again and flash TWRP)

so what's the difference between c432 and 636?

No, you need to install it from the recovery because there is not just one update.app file, it's a package with many files in it. You need to do it from TWRP please

The localization. C432 is Europe, C636 is from another country. In terms of features and performance, there is no difference except C636 has been upgraded to a pretty stable version of Nougat and you can have it on your device..

No you shouldn't lose it

I have a problem. After installing B361 on select wifi, normal keyboard doens't show, only voice. And it seems it can't skip forward.

You did not flash the additional data package, so you don't have all the files. You have to unlock the bootloader, flash revolution recovery for nougat since you don't have TWRP anymore (it's been replaced by stock nougat one) and try to flash those files manually. I cannot guarantee the results because I find that recovery really unuseful to say the least (my opinion). If you don't succeed, flash the oeminfo for MM you find on htcmania, and revert to MM with stock firmware and 3 buttons method

Everything works, and very well.

So, as it's working well on european devices, which are the differences between c432 and c636? If they are quite similar, why didn't Huawei release a c432b361 version?
I'm not understanding Huawei's approach...

Nobody is. I personally believe it's all marketing strategies. They want us to buy new phones and there are plenty on their way.

[Tutorial] Convert Honor 6+ Chinese in European (only PE-TL10)

Today I bring new tutorial to completely convert the Honor 6 Plus Chinese in European. (It's only applicable for the model PE-TL10).
So we must have unlocked bootloader and root. If we meet these requirements, we can proceed with the conversion.
1. Download the latest European version (B571)
2. Create a folder called dload in the micro sd and introduce there the update.app
3. Download the European oeminfo here, unzip and move the oeminfo.img to internal memory.
4. Install the app termux or terminal emulator
5. Open the app and write "su" to get root permissions.
6. Later, write "dd if=/sdcard/oeminfo.img of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo" and when it finished, turn off the Smartphone.
7. Press Vol-+ and Power to install the European update.app and we will have turned the PE-TL10 Chinese in European.
Neither me or XDA we are not responsible for any misuse of the tutorial. I want to thank @foncubiert to try it

I was looking at it for 1 year, thank you very much. now google hello.
Is there "oeminfo.img" necessary to do the reverse of this process for install twrp old backup?
*** I need "oeminfo" file in China stock rom of China brand Honor 6 Plus Pe-TL10.
This file can be accessed "Srktool backup" or in "dev/block/platform/hi-mci.0/by-name/" . Thank you.
Is there a way to do this for the PE-UL00?

Anyone tried it on PE-UL00 ?
Maybe there's a way to do the same.
Nice guide
Thanks juanro49 for the guide & the file.
The oeminfo works on PE-UL00 (tested myself- finally all google functions and no more strange chin. Stuff)
100 % working, I converted my Chinese PE-TL10 to EU one. Thanks for sharing it!

Hi guys,
self reply. I got through it. It was not completely without troubles, but finally I have Android 6.0 with EMUI 4.0.1 (build PE-TL10C432B571) in my PE-TL10 (originally on Android 4.4.2, EMUI 3.0, build PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B260). I don't need a ROOT and custom recovery now so it is unrooted and stock recovery now.
First, I have never rooted Honor 6 PLUS and as it is not the newest device and it is not fully supported anymore by Honor MultiTool you have to use another way.
Bootloader has to be UNLOCKED - I used the MultiTool - it's fine and without any troubles
Device has to be ROOTED - that was a bit issue, because you have to flash custom recovery to be able to flash SuperSU and root the device. I did it via fastboot.
To enter the bootloader mode (fastboot) just switch off device, then hold Vol- and plug the USB cable - it should enter the bootloader mode - you should see the android robot and "phone UNLOCKED" indication.
Now you can use fastboot commands (you have to have proper drivers installed, you can find instructions on in another threads on XDA).
Or you can enter bootloader mode with command "adb reboot fastboot" - you have to be in the system (running Android) on the phone to run adb commands. It will restart your device and enter the bootloader mode after restarting.
Once you are in the bootloader mode with UNLOCKED bootloader you can flash custom recovery (necessary to flash SuperSU). I had to flash the proper custom recovery which I found here . I tried to flash another TWRP and CWM recoveries, but without success. You can flash the recovery with fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery CWM.img".
Then you can restart the device into the system with "fastboot reboot". Once you are in the system, you can reboot into recovery with command "adb reboot recovery".
In the recovery choose "install ZIP from ..." and choose this file. I had to choose the version BETA-SuperSU-v2.42.zip otherwise it didn't install anything despite the installation process was successful.
After the successful installation of SuperSU, you should have ROOTED device. You can check it for example with Root checker.
Then I mostly followed this tutorial. But with few modifcations.
I couldn't find this /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo folder in my phone so I had to change the command for terminal emulator in the phone to dd if=/sdcard/oeminfo.img of=/dev/block/platform/ff1fe000.dwmmc0/by-name/oeminfo. There is another folder in "platform" folder but it doesn't contain "by-name" folder.
Then the tutorial says Press Vol-+ and Power to install the European update.app and we will have turned the PE-TL10 Chinese in European, but the issue is, you can't enter the "download mode" after you installed custom recovery. It simply doesn't enter the "download mode" and it stays on the screen with honor logo.
It was necessary to get into the system to be able to use fastboot command to flash stock recovery. How to solve it. I could't enter the system anymore, but I could enter the CWM. So I wiped the data and cache through CWM (Vol+ and Power button) and I was able to enter the Android system again.
I used again the "fastboot flash recovery B250.img" and flashed this recovery. It didn't correspond with my build version B260, but it helped.
Then I restarted the phone, entered again the system and through "Settings - Updater - Menu - Local update" and choose the "UPDATE.APP" from "dload" folder (it should be automatically detected) and whoila, it should restart the device and load "download mode" and install the UPDATE.APP. You should be able to do this step with Vol+- Power button combination instead of doing it through "Settings menu". And that's all.
I rather added some of used files into the attachment
Hello there I have a Honor 6 plus PE-UL00 that i want to change to European rom from China variant. Its rooted Android 6 Marshmallow with custom recovery TWRP
Firmware PE-UL00C00561. I'm still a beginning t limited knowledge,. I've learnt what I could from the forums. anyhow..
As per the changing rom guide , I downloaded The European rom B571 update.app and placed it in sdcard DLOAD folder as well put the OEM.img on the hard drive and ran termux and entered the command as per the guide and it seemed to work.
The Next step says ton turn the phone off And then press the volume+/- and Power button.. and it will load into the system and install the rom.
As per The post above, i got up to that step and the phone would Just boot to menu then reset.. I was able to get in recovery mode via TWRP and ran my backup.
I've read Post that the PE.UL00 can be converted, but is it following the exact same way as the PE-TL10? Or I may be missing a step.
The above post encountered a similar issue and had success, but his was a PETL10 and had hise his own recovery.img. (250.img to access his system and update the rom. in that scenario would l try to flash my recovery.img to get back into the system and run the local update?
Lastly another person had commented about their success converting a PE-UL00 to European rom. But just mentioned that it was through TWRP. Would that be just a matter of one I've done the OEM.img boot back into recovery and installed the app through TwRp or must I do a full wipe First?
Sorry for rehashing an old thread.. any advice much appreciated.
.
I got it working. After the OEM. IMG update I tried flashing it through TWRP. After some trial and error, my power button isn't responsive sometimes so maybe i wasnt pressing the volume down/up power button combo correctly. As the phone would just biot to Honor screen and reset.
Eventually after a few reboots and tries it went into the emui screen download mode and success.. I think. I did lose root in the process. I'm unsure how, still a novice, but I was able to re root the phone install custom recover via. TWRP and install SuperSU.
Now I don't have to deal with those China apps

PRA-LX1 I want to install stock firmware.

I want to flash my phone with stock firmware, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I am looking for PRA-LX1C738B123.
I own Huawei p8 lite 2017
I wiped my system because I wanted to install other rom, it didn't work so I want to go back to the original.
Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to do a backup before so I am stuck atm. The bootloader is unlocked and flashing works, I can boot into huawei eRecovery and TWRP. (eRecovery gives the getting package info failed error) I have tried the dload method with other app files, it fails at 5% every time tho.
I tried using Huawei Update Extractor and Firmware Finder but I cannot find the exact firmware.
Could someone help me with installing my firmware? Oh and I am kinda new and it would be nice to get some guides,
Thanks.
I have the same problem but with a different firmware.. now only thing i can do is use dc-phoenix paid software (15$ for 72h of use). I will try that tomorrow as i also can't find exact same firmware it was on my phone.

Thanks for reply. I will take that into consideration, but from what I see you were looking for PRA-LX1C432B106 and they indeed have the c432 roms there, however they don't seem to have the ones that I have been looking for. They have a list of firmwares online. Anyway good luck.

Hello ! I think I could be of some help since I encountered the exact same problem !
edit: well I just realized I can't find your ROM with firmware finder either, sorry for the failed attempt
In your case I'd try with each firmware until one would work or a I tried them all.
You need some utilities first :
- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.

Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

I can boot to eRecovery, but it fails.and also to TWRP.
when attached to PC it keeps being seen and unseen as if its stuck in a power on cycle
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.
edit: formatting
Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Hello did you already test ???
Here is the solution for every PRA-LX1: [http : // www . htcmania . com / showthread . php ? t=1326478] (sorry for the spaces, but I don't have enough posts written to post external links )
Unfortunately, it's from a spanish forum. I didn't found any problem to follow this tutorial, but maybe for someone it could be a little difficult.
Anyway, it works!
MobileTechArena said:
Yes, but any PRA-LX1C432 i tried doesn't work for me, flashing by fastboot. I believe any PRA-LX1 should work on this phone, but i will need to use that dc phoenix software to flash it.

Where did you find the C432 firmware? I can't succees to find it
Flashing to a completely empty phone via DC phoenix or manual via fastboot still didnt got my device started. Sometimes I end up in the eRecovery and sometimes its just stuck at boot.
I tried different version from the hicloud but none so far did the trick. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction so i can finally rescue this phone?
EDIT:
PRA-LX1C432
Sorry cant link to these files since i don't got 10 posts. Maybe PM ?
Copied the Mega TWRP backup (B100) to SD card
Flashed TWRP via fastboot
Disconnected the USB cable
Boot into TWRP
Restored TWRP backup
Restarted phone into fastboot
OEM unlocked it
Got booted into TWRP since no stock recovery there
Booted into fastboot again
flashed stock recovery
Android started to work!
Tried to update to B164 and failed
Reboot
Now it offered B110 and I tried to update to B110. Success.

Also i noticed everytime a OTA fails you get the full version offered on next boot. So you should get a full B164 aswell after it failed
JStrel said:
Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

how can you boot into recovery ? i can only boot into twrp or fastboot & rescue or if i plug the huawei to the pc erecovery ???

AL10 Can't get OTA to work

I have an AL10 with Chinese firmware. I used SRK Tool for Huawei and did the following
1. unlocked booloader
2. install twrp
3. Flash L19C646B190 from twrp
4. root
5. update oeminfo to C636
- After this step I had issues that when I boot the phone kept on asking for a password to decrypt the storage. I booted into twrp and tried to change the /data partition to ext4 from f2fs, but couldn't
6. Tried to flash L19C646B190 using UPDATE.APP and volume up + volume down + power, but couldn't. Phone complained that the firmware was incompatible
7. Used SRK Tool to update ro.build.display.id to EVA-L19C900B00. It was #ro.build.display.id=disabled
8. Flashed L19C646B190 using UPDATE.APP and volume up + volume down + power
9. Bootloader was locked again and twrp replaced with stock recovery after flashing
All in all the phone seems to be working find, but OTA is not working.
How do I go about getting OTA to work again?

Worked like a charm, thanks I changed my oeminfo to hw / meanaf for c185 and flashed an offical L19C185 from Huawei. Immediately got all the OTAs and the device is working great.
For anybody with an AL10, don't bother looking for a L29 ROM, just Flash n L19, it works perfectly. The OS sees all the RAM and storage space
I flashed L09 rom to my AL-10 and everything is working fine too
I also have an al-10 and I'm tired of the Chinese rom.Can I change it to another rom？

[TIPS] Revert Custom Rom to Official and untouched - Hard restore

Hi!
I see the large number of requests concerning the roolback of a custom rom to a official and untouched EMUI 4, i decide to create this thread.
After follow that methode, you able to rest on official EMUI and get the new update automatically on OTA (directly on your phone) OR try to install custom rom with a clear and good base version.
1. You ave access on TWRP?
-If not, pleas unlock your bootloader (again) and flash TWRP recovery for you actual version (marshmallow or nougat).
-perform a full wipe and restore your partitions on "ext4" format, shutdown phone.
2. Get a "oem_info.zip" for your model phone (dont extract the .zip) and push it on your internal or external sd.
-This archive contain cust and oem info for patched your phone at the correct manufacture information.
-I have a link for VNS-L31 (c432, but is not very important) HERE LINK
-If you have other model (VNS-L31) pleas find a correct patch for you (VNS-L21, ...).
3. Find and download a EMUI marshmallow official full-ota update.
-for a VNS-L31 i advice choice a VNS-L31C432B160 full-ota update.
4. Unpack your update archive.
5. Create "dload" folder on your internal or external sd and put it UPDATE.APP
6. Reboot phone on TWRP recovery and flash "oem_info.zip"
7. Use dload methode for update (hold 3 buttons phone and dont release before "dload screen" appears)
8. Unlock your bootloader again (important!) And make a factory reset
9. Your phone reboot (please wait ) and done!
Ok now you are on official version, please update on setting menu >> update and choice, rest on official or flash a custom rom..
P9 lite brick precision:
In my personal experience the "p9 lite" is very easy to flash, mod or other tips and the risk of HARD brick is very very tiny.
If you see this page and your phone bootloop, relax, keep calm at 99,999% you have a little and ridiculous brick
Good luck and flash happy!

In my other thread you post the same problem but is not entirely the same..
You succeeded to enter on fastboot mode? Flash recovery?
If you follow the steps 1-5 is impossible to fail the 6 point..
You have acces on fastboot mode or not?..

I did update the post... 3 hours ago I wasn't able to enter TWRP, some way I did managed, now I can enter fastboot, I did flash custOEM (sorry I don't remember exactly the name but it's the one of your post) .zip file. Now I can't do dload method, stuck on huawei logo. If I try to go to recovery, I got red message "phone fail validation"...
I know, I post on both but I was trying to do everything...
just tried... validation red error message won't let me go to TWRP now...
You have a VNS-L31C432?
Your phone does not enter at dload mode?
Wipe all partitions an retry flash a oeminfo for your model phone (if not C432 you need right oeminfo).

How can I wipe all partitions if stuck in Huawei logo? Is there a way to do everything from adb command line? (I'm using Mac and cannot use all the tools I've found here XDA neither hiSuite which is basically a backup photo/video only the Mac version).
Thank for helping, really appreciate
To answer your question in the other thread, yes bootloader is unlocked and I am on C432.
What's your rom have before the bootloop?
You have the right version of TWRP for your rom?
If you have a MM version Don't flash a TWRP for N.
Send me a link to TWRP version used (thread forum)

Before the bootloop I was on L31C900 (on the phone) but I did actually flashed C432B160 because I did rollback. TWRP used I've found in the other post where there's a OEMfile to flash (but for this I need to double check because I did look so many pages which I am not 100% sure.
I not have experience on other model that C435.
But i suggest to find a oeminfo for your variant (C900?)
For TWRP you need flash a version for MarshMallow HERE
Flash it and pas return here (fastboot flash return and first enter to new recovery)
Hi, found Windows emulator for MacOs so I extract from update.app boot.img and flash.
I did format all partitions as told using a proper twrp this time.
What's next step, system says NO OS INSTALLED?

Flash partitions on .img files is not needed.
Just find a corect oeminfo for your model phone.
Flash it on TWRP recovery.
Use dload methode to update on basical version (MarshMallow b160).
After that, unlock bootloader again and make a factory reset.
Switch on your phone (the first boot make long time).
Update on last emui on OTA.
Done!
After that you able to install a custom rom.

IT won't turn off so been always on it won't keep the charge... Writing so because apparently it won't go to download mode (dload) if plugged in. On the other way if I unplugged from power it won't even start. Shall I force to download mode using console ADB or FASTBOOT? I had looked but can't find anything...

Correct. Because I'm not able to switch it off it won't keep the charge. When discharged, the minute I do plug on charge it wakes up... That's the loop...

Its for the first time ever i am unable to unlock the boot loader, i obtained the boot loader unlock code by the following method for my mate 10. Don't know whats went wrong , when i try to unlock the boot loader in fastboot its giving an error. anyone can guide me on this?
Edit: I logout the Huawei Id and also set the usb debugging to Manufacture Mode by using *#*#2846579#*#* and then tried to unlock the boot loader and it worked as a charm.
