Marshmallow builds comparison

Hi, everybody.
Sorry if I post this thread in wrong section.
Howewer I hope that this thread would be an aid for thus want to try the different beta builds of our phone.
Ok. So.
1. Dual SIM B170 --- B188 --- (possible 190 or 194) --- B524 --- B550.
- all is fluent.
2. Single SIM B171 --- B525
- all is fluent
- howewer this build cannot upgrade to B550
- seems that developpement freeze at beta build stage (waiting for final build)
- oh, and surprise: You CAN use dual SIM. Yes its true, i flashed over dual sim model (so i guess that this works only on Dual Sim models)
3. Chinese firmware B535 (--- exist the beta build 551, but that doesnt leaked)
- all is fluent
BUT. The BIG difference between these builds is that the Chinese firmware come with MANY more functions, than the others: SmartCare, Camera modes, Barcodes in Messaging, Yellow Pages in Dialer, and so Many others (maybe I would collect them for the whole list)
So I use the Chinese build. With little tweak is wery well usable. You have little areas with chinese options (for example you must change the keyboard from chinese to huawei swype), but it isnt annoying.
Oh, and if you register an huawei account on chinese site, well, you have many other possibilities from this build.
I recommend this build over the others.
P.S. I would make a voting for those builds too but i dont know how (maybe the moderators...)

i have got b150... can i go for b170?

I've read that some are using the chinese version, but i couldn't found info how to get it.
All HowTos und firmware links lead to C432B550 or C432B524 in the end.
Could you post details how to get the chines beta on an european phone?

Hm. I was sure that was here on xda, but anyway. I would quote.
Hello,
Finally we get EMUI 4.0 on P8 Lite. Few days ago I decided to change the location of my phone ALE-L21 because China goes beta test of 6.0 but with Chinese firmware installed on the B230 on ALE-UL00. And today the new Android 6.0 was successfully installed on my phone!
Cheers
FIRST and foremost you need change the location!!! to
unicomelectric/cn
To install OTA(EMUI 4.0) update is necessary to change your location and the Chinese version of the software B230
So here the OTA B535
Just put update.zip(1.1GB) into dload folder on your SDCard or internal memory!!! Then install as local update!
Guide how to install EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 ALE-UL00C00B535 on device ALE-L21(P8 Lite)
Requirements
1.Unlocked bootloader
2. Rooted device
How to Change Region of Your Huawei Honor 4C [Root]
You can change the region of your Huawei Honor 4C and gain the ability to flash firmware from other countries by a few tweaks to the files that hold country settings. This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the entire process and provide you with the files required.
Huawei Honor 4C
1. Requirements
Full root access
ES File Explorer (Root Explorer is not recommended at all!)
Backup of your current stock recovery and custom recovery
Full Nandroid backup of all partitions
OEM Info File (download here)
Warning: Although you might find this tempting, there’s a high chance that you’ll brick your phone in the process. That’s why you’re strongly advised to keep a handy nandroid backup. We hold no responsibility for any kind of damage caused during or after this procedure. You proceed entirely at your own risk!
2. Procedure
Step 1: First of all, find out your current vendor/country info. One way to do this is by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* – from the menu that pops up go to Network Information > Vendor/Country Info. Some of the vendors/countries are:
hw/spcseas – Malaysia
unicomelectric/cn – China
hw/meafnaf – Pakistan
mts/by – Belarus
Step 2: Now that you know your region information, open ES File Explorer and turn “Root Explorer” on from the menu in the sidebar. Select “/” (device) from the bar above and go to “Data”. Open custom.bin using the ES Note Editor. You’ll see the same vendor and country information in this file as you previously saw in engineering mode. Clear the text and insert the text corresponding to the region you wanna shift to. For example, if I were moving from Pakistan to Malaysia, I’d clear “hw/meafnaf” from custom.bin and insert “hw/spcseas” instead.
When you’re done, save the file and make sure its permissions are set to rw-rw-rw in its properties.
Step 3: Now download the OEM Info package from above and extract it. Inside the oeminfo folder, take the oeminfo file of the country you’re shifting to and copy it to [/device]/dev/block/hi_mci.0/by-name/. Replace the file that’s already present in by-name folder. I repeat – replace the file – don’t delete it! Make sure you’re doing this only through ES File Explorer. Make sure this file has rwx rwx rwx permissions.
Step 4: Finally, if you’ve done everything right, reboot your phone and check your vendor and country info again by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* in the dialer.
Step 5: Now you should be able to flash any firmware from the region you now have. In case you’re seeing “balong” in Settings > Update as your version number it means that you now won’t be able to receive any online updates. You don’t really need to worry about it. Simply download the firmware and flash it through the forced SD upgrade method (you know the one – Vol up + Vol down + Power).
______________________________________________________________________
Change location on your device to unicomelectric/cn
a) Copy file oeminfo to internal memory or SD Card
b) Replace oeminfo on path /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name with downloaded one. Reboot
Instalation procedure
a) Downgrade to B052(fastboot) make wipe!
b) Install B230(fastboot) Make two wipe!!!
c) Install B535 as local update(put the update.zip on dload folder in internal memory) make wipe!
DONE!
PS: sokkoban was the autor (look at his label):
h t t p : / / huaweip8lite.blogspot . ro

I managed to find the thread, it's a bit messy because the Opening Post is deleted and i had to find all the filse cluttered over the thread.
Installation went quite smooth, but i'm a little bit worried because Model Number says hi6210sft, but that's something i can probably fix inside the build.prop.
so thanks tamaskurti for the info.

You guys think the best firmware is the chineese one ? I have all the files downloaded on my laptop but I doubt in installing it

look at:
h t t p : / / forum.xda-developers.com / p8lite / general / ale-ul00-t3339897

Honestly, i am disappointed with b550 official europe build.
I was on chinese b535 build, witch its beta, howewer, it has lot more functions than the europe builds. I wait for the final marshmallow build from chinese market, because, their rom is more ellaborated than the others. Sorry, huawei europe, but in comparison with chinese market, the final build seems for me that an early beta or alpha build.

Is there a way to get the Chinese version camera app to our phones (meaning official MM update)?

Download & install the FULL (1.62Gb) version only.
You need to unzip it first & copy the Update.app file only to the dload folder.
Take a full backup of all your important data stored in phone’s internal memory (for safety only as this update will not delete anything).
Open the dialer and enter *#*#2846579#*#* to access the ProjectMenu.
Go to Software Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade and confirm the update installation.

Can be use for ALE-UL00 ?

Download this app, open it and hit GET FIRMWARE LIST. Then you can download the latest Full firmware available for your device.

Do this at your own risk, it could make your device unbootable requiring raw rom flash to fix. Back up everything first.
I had this issue with latest WW 2009.49. I used root explorer apk to change anything I could find in build.prop from CN to WW, leaving rest of the titles same. You'll find it under system/vendor/build.prop in root. Using root explorer click and hold file to highlight, 3 for menu and select open with text editor. Make the changes, save and exit. Reboot, check rom version again with device info hw to see if it's changed to WW.
If your phone has latest .49 on both slots (you can check with 'device info hw' from playstore. Click on fingerprint under system and it'll show which slot you're currently on plus rom/firmware version. Boot to other slot, check both slots are same firmware. If they are, repeat process again with editing build.prop.
Don't copy and paste 1st edited file to other running slot, it most likely won't boot. Make the edits twice if both slot firmwares are equal. After edit, reboot. CTS now passes for me using magisk hide ?

You can't install RAW files from internal storage, you have to flash it from Fastboot. Auto updating should work if you update incrementally up to whatever version you're looking to end at, unless there is an issue that's not detailed in your post.

First update to WW-17.0823.2104.147 by putting the fw zip downloaded from asus site.
Then update to the A11 fw WW-18.0410.2106.138 by putting the fw zip downloaded from asus site.
Else you can use twrp latest build.
1. Just download the last A11 stable fw that is WW-18.0410.2203.201 from asus website.
2. Put the zip in Internal storage.
3. Boot to twrp recovery.
4. Click on Install > Select the zip file > Swipe to flash. (You will see in which slot the zip is flashing)
5. After flash done, (just don''t reboot). Go to Reboot Section of twrp> Change Slot to the other one via clicking on Slot name.
6. Now do same as 4.
7 After flash done. Just Reboot to system

Question Downgrade from latest Android 12 to Android 11 without root / unlocking bootloader

I have Zenfone 8 with latest Android 12 (WW-31.1010.0411.113). I would like to downgrade to Android 11.
On the site: https://www.asus.com/Mobile/Phones/ZenFone/Zenfone-8/HelpDesk_BIOS/
there's: "ZenFone 8 (ZS590KS) Software downgrade from Android 12 to target Image Version: WW-30.12.112.82 (Android 11) for WW SKU only.".
with instruction:
Steps of Update:
1. Download the firmware to internal storage.
2. Remove Google Account.
3. Pull down the quick setting list.
4. The system will pop up a message which detected a firmware update info.
5. Execute the downgrade firmware file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My questions are:
1. Have anyone tried to use it and can confirm it works?
2. Is there any other way to downgrade to the first available Android 11 version WW-30.11.51.44 (instead of specified WW-30.12.112.82)?
