Hi Guys
I want to install Marshmallow on my Huawei P8 Lite (Single Sim). I need to have B171 installed to update.
However, I am still stuck on B133. When I try to get an update over the air, it says that I already have the latest software installed. First, I tried to do this with the updater. Then, I used HiSuite. They both give the same message: no update available.
Next, I tried to update manually, by using the update that I found via xdadevelopers (http : // www . carbontesla . com/2015/11/huawei-p8-lite-b171-android-5-0-lollipop-firmware/) but it fails to update after 15%.
Finally, I tried all of the above after a factory reset, but nothing worked.
Is there something else I can do?
Thanks in advance!
Look at your phone settings, then about the phone and look at the build number and model number, what values do you have there?

Build number: ALE-L21C432B133
Model Number: ALE-L21
You don't have the balong bug error. So try reverting to build B052, then you can maybe updated to B188
Instructions on how to downgrade you can find here
Step 2 you don't need to do and Step 3 and 4 you can do OTA with the huawei updater.
Follow instructions mentioned in below topic , then you will be on latest android 6.0

Thank you for your answers.
All right folks!
If you encounter this problem as well on your device, do what Olrak and ettenleurtje have told in this thread. Downgrade to B052, then do an OTA upgrade to B170, followed by an OTA upgrade to B188. Then you have the latest OTA update, so you might decide to stop here. However, if you really want the Marshmallow Beta version, do the latest step in their guides as well.
Thank you both for helping me.
Forgive me for bad English. I bought a p8 lite ALE-L21 in Egypt. once unpacked and switched on the device, it received two updates one after another. I don't remember the first build. but the current build is ALE-L21 C185B160.
I unlocked bootloader and rooted with king root then flashed TWRP. while removing some bloatware I removed some important apps by mistake.
Now I want to go back to the official untouched build firmware to have these features back.
I searched for this build B160 everywhere but all I found is B170. NO B160 anywhere.
I tried to flash the B170 but FAILED
PLEASE HELP ME FIND ALE-L21C185B160 Build.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks

you need to flash C185B120 rom, then you will receive un apdate to B130 version then an another to the B160
all you have to do is to search for the rom and flash it via fast boot mod

Dude, have you found any solution yet?
I have the same problem and Im Kinda stuck there ..
I read somewhere that I can flash the European version "ALE-the L21 V100R001C432 B052" which I'm not sure whether it will work ..
Now I need a stock Rom to fix all the mess I made.
Plz let me know if you could fix it!
Edit: if B052 didn't work just try this one it should work "Huawei ALE-L21 Firmware(Android 5.0, EMUI 3.1, C185B131, United Arab Emirates Rep)"

Still downloading the Rom ....
Enta 3arf elnet 3ndna zft :crying:
Will keep you updated Insha'Allah and so you do too .. just let me know if anything of this worked for you .. or maybe other.
I didn't work for you, then you didn't know how to do it
I did it my self on my device and it worked like a charm
Any way, I created an auto flashable version for this rom, juste download it, plug in the phone with usb cable into your pc ( of course make sure usb debugging is on and drivers are installed and your bootloader is unlocked ) then juste click the FLASH-ALL file and the phone will reboot automatically into fast-boot mod and flash the rom.
Of course you will loose your data, also your IMEI? but no worries, juste update to B130 version via OTA ( go to update and search for an update and you wll find it ) and you will get your IMEI back. then you will receive the B160 update via OTA too.
here's the link of the rom I made : https://mega.nz/#!ZIkXXRDQ!_jvnDA3_0b2zxNF3atgqM3HBq-0NgMIFQtADQfJLtMs
Good Luck

So what if my bootloader is locked?
I have rooted my phone without unlocking the bootloader .. it's not a full root but I can't get rid of it .. the only way is to force flash the official firmware which I couldn't find anywhere .. If maybe I have the OTA update B160 alone I guess it might solve my problem but there isn't such thing on the internet.
Well anyway I finished downloading the full B132 now and I'll give it a try tomorrow morning and see If it will work .. If not .. I'll try the one you made if it works with bootloader locked. (I don't know yet)...
One last question plz: if I want to upgrade to marshmallow 6.0 .. from where should I begin?
I know it's only for the European version which starts with B052 => B170 => B188 => B524 etc...
So is there any working method to get to the B524 directly from our version without having to do it all from scratch like that?
And can we actually flash the European version instead?
I.I'm Sorry but huawei is really confusing and playing dumb with us.

no unlocked bootloader ==> no rom flashing on the phone
there is another way but due to your net speed it could take days maybe even a week... so whatever lol

this is an english forum, don't use arabic language
@amlNoS007
I'd have apologized to you if you'd said "please"
Any way I should be polite koz I am Muslim Arab.
I was directing my speech to Hossam, another Arab, so I spoke Arabic
This should not upset you.

Thank you for your answers..
But I just found something weird that I don't understand ..
I booted the phone in fastboot mode and found "phone is unlocked" while I haven't actually unlocked the bootloader.
I only followed the tutorial on this thread ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/tutorial-how-to-root-bootloader-unlock-t3314786/page4
My question is ..
Is it really a full unlocking?
With having this, could I make a full root by flashing supersu files through fastboot or flash a custom recovery?
Is there any way to relock the phone as I haven't unlocked it officially?

Bootloader results unlocked (as you can see) but's acts as locked.
System partition will be mount only read mode, so you cannot update supersu anymore.
