I used a test keys version to rollback from nougat beta, from that version you should be able to flash the last marshmallow firmware and then upgrade to nougat. This is going to erase your data. Hope this can help you.

If you use firmware finder, you will find a rollback package (just read the changelog).I.e. mine was NEM-L51C432B130 with date 2017.04.14.
You need to set your model code, because FF won't recognise the test key.
What I did was to install a small update to a Russian test key version (on 4pda it is said that won't work on Chinese version), than I flashed B130 (the last before nougat beta).

It should work. If you can't download it or have troubles there's a post in this forum with firmwares. The only way that worked for me was to download the firmware (I can't remember if from FF or somewhere else) and flash it over test key firmware using dload method.
Update.zip should be enough, but I used both.

If I remember right, only update.zip has the update.app while the other one has things like preinstalled apps...make dload folder on the root of the sd, then put the files of the two zip into dload, you should now have update.app and a bunch of other things in dload. The only must is update.app

My pleasure. I spent hours with my Honor bricked between download error and invalid firmwares but at the end I made it. I wish you the best of luck, if you encounter any problem​ just ask. The only thing I find strange is your test keys version, where does it come from ?

You didn't have a recovery ? Do you mean you had stock recovery ? Because it's perfectly fine to have stock recovery to flash official firmware. Something you can try (always using dload) :
1) download http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http://d...d=94264&version=377923&siteCode=ru&e=58206831 and flash it, then download and flash B130...after this you can upgrade to B150 (this is the way I used)
2) Maybe you're able to directly download and flash B150, but I don't think this is going to work
3) try flashing the stock firmware that came with your phone when it came out, for example B102 (but I doubt it will let you downgrade this way)
Make sure you're downloading the correct version for your device and make sure the download doesn't fail and check the downloaded archives.
In case you've messed up with the stock recovery there are many guides on how to restore it.

Probably because you've installed the L21 and the the one I linked is for L51. I can't help you any further now. I will search and if I find something similar, I'm going to let you know. The only things I can say to you at the moment is to search more information as possible using Google, xda and 4pda (this last has a lot more consideration and active community for our device, but it is in Russian and maybe you are going to need a translator, for example the chrome integrated one)
This could help : https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=761127&st=3000#entry58206831 but the italian translation of this is not very understandable to me.

In the link I posted scroll to the first post and it show the method I already suggested to you (official) and two alternatives. As I told you before I can't fully understand the alternatives because of translation. From what I could understand, those methods are in case the official fail (like yours) it seems to suggest to unlock the bootloader, install twrp and then flash a nougat firmware using twrp (maybe a modified version of the firmware). This will probably void your warranty and I'm not sure if what I am understanding is correct, but it is the best I found so far. I hope in your language the translation is better.

[Q] About Huawei P7-L11

Hi
i purchased p7 while ago and then while i search in the internet i find that there is many models of p7 and mine was p7-l11 and it's australian model but i'm not from australia
so this model seems that it doesn't receive any updates and it's still on EMUI 2.3 and probably will not get lolipop update also
is there a way to make it like global model (p7-l10 ) by install another ROM or something ? so it can receive the updates normally
thanks and sorry for my english.

You can flash the latest version manually, but I can't guarantee that you won't damage your device.
I think not much can go wrong as long as you don't change the kernel and have a backup of your current build (use CWM recovery > backup).

Probably only the CUST partition is different, but alas, there is no information whatsoever. If I'm not mistaken the Asian versions have the same hardware, so the number after the L should only mean that it's for another region, and that's all. There are a few ROMs made for the L01 here on the forum, and they are working on the L10, and vica versa. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't create hardware malfunction, so even if the software is buggy on the other variant if you have a backup, you can always flash the original.
First i would check if you have an unlocked bootloader .
When not unlock it by rooting with root genius.
The Kernel is for all models the same .
The different is the system , modem and cust partition.
So when you have one sim slot and one micro SD slot you can try it with the L-10 Software when you have dual-sim you have to try the China devices Software (L-5/7/9/0)
But i would recommend to flash a full update and not only the system partition
But flashing these Software from one on the other should not damege the device ..
But when you do this this youre deal, so don't blame me if something goes wrong...

i have one sim slot and one micro SD slot so it will be same as L-10 , so do i just follow the steps like in this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343 ?

If think your best bet is to ipdate with the three button method with the original bootloader and recovery. Download the full B609 ROM from here (click on Letöltés), put it in /sdcard0/dload (or on the SD card, doesn't matter), and update either through the system menu or by holding down all three buttons when booting. In case anything goes wrong (which it shouldn't), you can use the same method with the L11's ROM to downgrade.

is that easy ? so i don't have to change anything like in the link ?
also i don't have L11's ROM and i didn't find it so is the backup will be enough if something wrong happen ?

Updating to the official ROMs is easy since there is a force update option. In your case it will still work and most likely will not cause any harm.
But now that I think of it, if you want to make a backup, you're out of luck. Well, mostly.
If you'd like to create a backup, you'd have to
unlock bootloader / flash an unlocked bootloader
flash recovery
backup your current ROM
All of the above can be done but you cannot flash a B609 ROM on top of a B133 base - you'd have to update with the recovery and bootloader you just lost to make a backup. If you don't have the original ROM's files, you cannot go back if anything goes wrong.
To sum it up:
you can easily update
you (probably) cannot make a backup
Decide for yourself it it's worth the minimal risk.

Well, since the L11's number seems to come from only being sold in Australia, and no hardware differences, the update should go without a hitch. But we can never know since nobody reported anything about it.
Now, just to be clear - L10 users have flashed L01 custom ROMs, and there seems to be no problems apart from the ROMs' bugs.
My opinion is that there will be no problems, but I am no expert as I have never heard of the L11 variant.

Ah, didn't think about the CUST partition - but yes, this is probably the only difference between the submodels. I you want to make sure you can return, see if your L11 has an update.app for the CUST partition. I remember distantly flashing these when upgrading to B602 (the beta of 4.4) and now when updating to the Lollipo beta.

Yes, the second one seems to me like a complete package. Don't know how to unpack the update.app, so we can't be sure. There is a thread though with an almighty CUST partition, that might help you - also, if you change the CUST, you can surely flash the ROM that' bund to your new CUST - so I think if you flash the international CUST with the international 4.4 ROM, then you can go back to the international B133 if aníthing goes wrong. Make sure you make a note of everything in your system information menu before doing anything.

Yes, you should first update to B133. Don't really know if it is necessary, mind you - but since that's the way he did it, I wouldn't wander off a beaten path The second step he makes is the update.app that modifies the CUST partition. If you flash that, I bet you can always roll back to B133 in the same thread.

Good luck

how to flash a stock image?

I know that there are some threads over this topic, but there is nowhere a specific answer. I have currently Sokkoban's ROM, and I want to revert to the official build. Can someon provide me with the necessary files in order to flash a stock recovery? I found only this answer, but there are no available links for the files. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. I have ALE L21- dual european edition, running on custom rom based on C432B574.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: tried with the HuaweiUpdateExtractor with the UPDATE.APP file, and flashed the first 3 images (boot, recovery cust) but I get an error while trying to flash the system.img.

It got messy after installing the 4 images. I tried this post and got myself with B052 and emui 4.0. Later I tried our post MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed - chapter 4: Unbricking but nothing.

Well for now, i am happy with sokkoban's deodexed rom..
Got light painting, removed bloatware, xposed compatible... So no complains.. I just wanted to make sure that going back is possible, and some say it is by flashing 4 images... But not with us.. Anyways will keep you updated if i find something new...

You are absolutely right. Although Sokkoban's ROM is really very good, you cannot go back to the official easily. Still din't try to flash another rom, like cm 11 and then go back to the official. If anyones does try it, he should let us know.

I know that there are some threads over this topic, but there is nowhere a specific answer. I have currently Sokkoban's ROM, and I want to revert to the official build. Can someon provide me with the necessary files in order to flash a stock recovery? I found only this answer, but there are no available links for the files. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. I have ALE L21- dual european edition, running on custom rom based on C432B574.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: tried with the HuaweiUpdateExtractor with the UPDATE.APP file, and flashed the first 3 images (boot, recovery cust) but I get an error while trying to flash the system.img.

You need to flash the original recovery(which you already have). Then put dload folder in sdcard and upgrade manually. You might get BALONG bug (because this happened to me) so I recommend you to start from beginning( the very first firmware for your model/country). For me it was B120. It contained two dload folders one was the system and the other was vendor file. You need both files.

Tried everything. Even the files for converting into dual. The only thing I managed to get, was: Sokkoban's ROM, and after a factory reset, I got B052 with EMUI 4. Hopefully someone will find a way and create a guide.

I reverted back using the same procedure. What do you mean by converting files to dual? Isn't your phone already dual sim?

If you are on B052 (official) and did not have balong bug then I think you can update to emui 4.0/Android 6.0 without any issues.

I used MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed - chapter 4: Unbricking but didn't work. Then I tried to revert to B052, but as I wrote before, I had Sokkoban's ROM and after a factory reset, I had B052 with emui 4.0 installed. If you know a working procedure to return to the official build, I suggest you write a guide.

By the way do you have nandroid backup of official rom? If yes restore it via twrp. This could save you a lot of time. The method I used isn't difficult but it takes time.
On sokoban's rom. Flash the original recovery (recommend that you extract it from the firmware you are going to flash).Use the oldest one (link given below) emui 3.1/Android 5.0 for dual sim
Now put dload file in sdcard/internal memory and upgrade the phone.
If you have balong bug put dload2(rename it to dload) folder in sdcard/ internal memory and upgrade.
Now later you may upgrade to Android 6.0/emui 4

No, I used TWRP backup.
When I tried to extract the images from an official ROM (I have done so many attempts that, I cannot remember which ROM I used), I was able to flash 3 out 4 files. The one I couldn't was the system. When I tried through classic (dload etc), It got stuck at 2% and would give me an error.
But that's all in the past. lol
At this moment, my phone is at the service center with no warranty cause my wifi adapter is not working. From what I've heard, such ptoblems, need mainboard replacement and I cannot afford it at this moment. So I am going to stuck with this phone till it's dead, and of course not going to install any ROM, just because I cannot update anything..... cheers!!!

Well tbh, you can simply convert the system.img using simg2img.exe and then make a flashable zip.
then you can install the system.img withing recovery

Bluetooth issue in VIE-L09C25B320

Well, first of all, hello everybody and sorry for my english. I'm new at XDA and this it's my first post. Sorry if I miss at the place to post or something like that.
Let's go straight to the point:
Las weekend I bought a second hand Huawei P9 Plus. I was delighted with it. The phone was acquired in San Salvador and it cames with the VIE-L09C25B120 compilation. As I am in Madrid I can't update the phone via OTA.
So I decided to unlock Bootloader, change oeminfo and custom.bin to Europe one (C432) [I'm not sure if I need necessary to do this] with SRK Tool, root it and install a stock firmware. It wasn't easy to find the firmware for L09C25B120, but finally with Firmware Finder for Android I found that L09C25B320 will match it perfectly (suposely).
After missing some points, I finally achieve it and now my phone has Nougat and MIUI 5 working. But not so fine. Also, in the About the Phone section, in Compilation Number appears: NRD90M test-keys
The first issue that I found is that after the last reboot I have no Keyboard. Just Voice Dictation. That I solve it via APK Installer. I download the Google Keyboard APK and install it through the PC.
But now I face a bigger problem, and this is why I wrote you:
I didn't realize when I flash the ROM that the Bluetooth isn't working. When I push the BT logo, it turns grey but doesn't do anything. I try to clear cache but the only application (a system one) running that it's related with Bluetooth it's the Bluetooth MIDI Service. And also, all the info and sections are grey.
So, what can I do? Do I need to rollback?? (Everything else works fine. Or seems to...)
Could I only install a version of the Bluetooth. apk?? (if it exists)
Could I extract the APK's related with Bluetooth from the stock firmware that came with the phone and insert in this new compilation?? In this case, wich are the files related to the Bluetooth in Huawei P9??
Thankyou very much and sorry for the brick!
I have the same problem but with B354. Hoping there's a solution else I guess I just need to wait for the official update.

No one can help?
I was wondering if a downgrade is viable from Nougat.
Also I found that I cant boot un twrp recovery Mode. When I tried to (via power+volume up) or from SRKTool the device enter in erecovery mode from MIUI. And no option for reset or factory reset, just the setup wifi section to search a new package (that fails) and reboot and turn off options.
Some advice? Anything will be helpfull.
Thx

If it does not work,u can use this new method to push the update with Firmware Finder. When u updated your phone to Nougat u did not flash it with the second update file that includes the apps of Keyboard and Bluetooth.

Well that's really helpful, Mostar88. Thankyou very much. I was about to install a new firmware, but a full one. I'll try this method first.
Thankyou very much!
P.s. Just a naïve question: Once I liberate the bootloader and have change the oeminfo to the Europe one, could I update to whatever firmware C432?? Or I still need to install always to a C25 one??
Thanx again. You've been really helpful!
Best regards

If u changed the oeminfo to C432 and the phone version is C432 in Settings - About phone u should only update with C432 firmware. What build do you have on your phone now? There is no Nougat realesed yet for C432 on P9+.

Now the phone only displays NRD90M test-keys (where it use to be L09C25B120). This happens just after install the VIE-L09C25B320CUSTC25D0001. It's supposed to be FULL, but I'm not really sure if the one that I locate has a single package or two. I read about this packages that came in two or even three different zips. But what I'm certainly sure it's that previously to install that package, I change the oeminfo to Europe (C432). How it's possible that the phone let me update??

Wich is that second update you reffer to? Because with Firmware Finder (PC version. The android one doesn't work with this android version) just found the one I mention before: VIE-L09C25B320CUSTC25D001. Which is the one that I install.
If I have to use FF pc to update i'm not sure how to do It. I must change the network configuration in both sides (PC and Phone)?
I was trying to get info about some C25 update with changes in Bluetooth and Keyboard but I found nothing. I'm not really sure what to search for or how to search it. Any tip?? Thanks in advance

When u download that version and u come to 100% then paus the upgrade ( u have 15 sec to paus so u have to pay atention to your phone all the time ) and choose to upgrade later. Then go in the root of the phone and find a folder called HwOUC and open, in that folder u should find another folder with 5 numbers and in that folder u should have 2 .zip files.

Thankyou again Mostar88!
That info I think that is the first time I read it and I think it's quite important.
Another questions:
1. Could I flash again the same VIE-L09C25B320CUSTC25D001 ROM?
2. Once I extract the files, I finish installing, and the I flash both files again? In which order?

NEM-L51C432 (EU variant) - Huawei Firmware Finder not finding any file

Hi everyone !
I just wanted to check on HFF if there were new updates available, but nothing came up. I mean, not even the ones I already installed ; the firmware list is empty.
I tried reinstalling the app, but the result is the same.
What the hell ? How are we supposed to find official firmwares now ? Is this a bug or something ? I read something about Huawei not sharing their firmwares anymore a while ago, but I'm pretty sure the article also said Honor wasn't concerned.
yeah wont work for me either
Doesn't work for me either, currently on L51C432b350
Nothing shows for me too
Maybe it has something to do with this: https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/09/huawei-removes-emui-rom-image-downloads-site.html
Here you go
http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=NEM-l51c432b&firmware_page=0
Select fullOTA-MF and flash via dload method.
Good luck

I didn't start to download your update.zip, but the same way I have downloaded tons of other P9 L08/L19 ROMs by Firmware Finder. And then copied to PC and unzipped update.zip to get update.app (and eg, used Huawei Firmware Exteactor to extract like eRecovery etc)
