Hello,
I've found on my polish android forum way to debrand p8 lite without using bootloader. However it doesn't work on my phone which is branded for TIM Mobile (some italian operator).
My version is TAG-L01C212B123 - I want to debrand it and follow with official huawei releases.
I'd like to make it without unlocking bootloader so I can keep my guarantee.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

Your best bet is to unlock the bootloader by getting your unlock key from huawei and if the problems arise wherein you need to return your phone pay the small amount to DC unlocker (Google it) to lock your phone (shows locked not relocked)

Thank you for your reply.
Well first of all I managed to update to b576 without unlocking the bootloader.
And the main purpose why I couldn't do it in the first place was... not having a Huawei p8 Lite but huawei 5s enojy / gr3 / p8lite smart (TAG-01) - call it whatever you want. A little misunderstanding between me and phone seller.

Hi! I have a p8 lite smart, too. I'd like to unbrand it, did you find a way to do it?
I didn't find anything on google about it, nobody knows this phone!

If I had, I wouldnt return it It was slightly better than p8 lite.
I guess you should look at chinese/hindi forums, I guess that phone was meant for asian markets.
Hi guys,
I'm a little noob with geek stuff but still I like to do it by myself.
Story: I went abroad for a six months trip and I bought a P8 lite in Japan (Soft bank carrier). The model is a ALE-L02-C111B210 (single sim) and from my search on the forum, I understand that it is the same as L21 except LTE frequencies may not work. I have different ideas but I'd like to check before doing anything stupid (which I am )
The phone has a lot of japanese crappy apps that I cannot uninstall and no updates are provided by this carrier. That why I want to root it and debrand it.
1- When I put my european simcard, it ask me for a network unlock code. I cannot get it from the carrier because my account was closed and they don't want to hear anything. I then found website who can give me a "generic" unlock code for this device against 10€. Before paying for a code, I'd like to know if rooting the phone and puting a custom/unbrand rom, it will also unlock the network or not. I compare to my old iphone who can be unlocked once rooted
2- I read a LOT of threds about L21 and several people with the L02 used the video for RootJunky who give all required files included a firmware file but an old one I think (V100R001C636B120).
Can replace it with one I got from huawei website but following the same procedure ? for instance : HUAWEI P8 Lite Firmware(ALE-L21, Andriod 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C432B565, Austria, Single SIM, Channel-Others)
3- dumb question. what's the stock rom for ? because it is only 34Mb on the RootJunky repository
Thanks a lot for any help/answer

1) Which website? Are you sure it is safe? Don't give credit card information on such sites without confirmation. Iphone rooted?Iphone can be unlock and jail break but remember root is different from jailbreaking.
2) You may flash other country firmware. It's no big deal. But you may need to unlock bootloader.
3) stock rom is the default rom that phone comes with. Its size is usually above 1GB. 34MB can't be stock rom.

The website should be ok, it has a good rating of trustedshops. does not look fake, but still, I'd like to know if buying an unlock code will be necessary after rooting/changing the rom .[/QUOTE]

Hello,
My title may not be very cler but I can't find any custom ROMs for my device the J5 SM-J5108CHM (J5 China Mobile version) I can find official firmware but I just hate the interface, I found a really good-looking ROM (VIperOS) but it was for another variant of the phone.
So my question is : can I convert this phone to some other variant with same specs ? Thanks in advance
I've got the same question but no one seems to go to this thread if anyone has an answer to this that would be very appreciated. the j5108 seems to have all the same specs as the other variants so it should work but I'm not taking any risks because this is my everyday phone.
also the china mobile os is complete rubbish use this one (im a new user so i cant post link but just search up updato (dot) com, go to search bar and search j5108, in teh filters bar up top choose hong kong and press update under the search bar)
First, install any lollipop update (if you skip straight to marshmallow you'll end up in a bootloop), and then install either OTA update (it keeps failing for people but its good if you don't want to use Odin again) or you can download the marshmallow os after you install lollipop (make sure to NOT do a factory reset etc you'll end up in a boot loop). Install MM os and boom GAPPS and everything else you'll need.

You can't. Its a different phone. Maybe you think because it says J5 chinese version that its the same thing, just different model number. There are reasons why ot has a different model number, baseband, etc... Its like you have the Samsung Galaxy S2 with exynos and the American one with SD. They are both S2, but totaly different phones.
does xda have a word cap or did my other post not post because it was long or is the image verification a post-verification. anyway, i was saying that all the j5 2016 variants are exactly the same which in theory would allow any model's OS to work on any variant. S2 isn't a great comparison because different models have different hardware while j5 2016 has different models with identical hardware. Just search up j5108 specs and j510x specs and they'll all be the same ill post back in a few weeks when I get a new battery and test out different OS (rn I'm using the stock hong kong OS). I'll try OS for different PDAs and then ill try out different models. Btw all the spec sites say the variants are compatible with Australia so I shouldn't have a problem using different models OS in Australia (meaning 4G, wifi, phone numbers etc should be fine).
Also please explain in more depth why j5 2016 variants are so different to the point that they have different model numbers (i know that sounds passive aggressive and pretend it isn't I honestly want to know). I'm super sorry if I sound like an arrogant **** that wants everything his way but the way the j5 2016 models are made they all seem identical and logically (and in theory) the other variants OS should work on the j5108. if for some reason I cant see my first reply but others can I'm so sorry for this post.

Phones today can have the same harware, same SoC, same RAM, same everything, even the same RIL preferences, but they are different models. The whole stock software was made for a specific device model. The J510FN is different than the J510H, if there was no difference why would Samsung bother to make many versions? The whole operating system, every part of it: Kernel, Apps, Recovery, Hal, Bootloader are mannualy made for a specific model number. Because of that it is hard to make a ROM that supports all of the phones in one Samsung model family lineup. You see now that by pure logic the j508 is very different from the J510FN
Hi, i bought P10 lite october 2017 and after turning on, phone received an firmware update B183.
Since then, phone is not receiveing any other system updates so its current version is: WAS-LX1C432B183, while other WAS-LX1 phones received newer firmware updates.
Any possible solution or ideas about solving this problem, please?
I too seem to be getting no updates either - although I'm 'lucky' enough to be on WAS-LX1AC432B187 even though in another thread here other people are up to B209/B210
I originally suspect it may be all down to Country / Operator / Network ....
Certain Operators (especially in UK) are VPN's that 'rent' airwaves from the main companies (Vodafone/O2/3/EE) & I suspect that when a new firmware is released (by Huawei for example), the big companies then have to modify these to include their bloatware to distribute it > then the VPN's may get their hands on the firmware & add their bloatware before distributing the updates..
Considering my operator is ASDA Mobile, who 'rents' from EE - I suspect EE hasn't passed on the modified firmware to ASDA to distribute (of course I may be totally wrong on how firmwares are distributed)
I admit I have been VERY tempted to attempt Firmwarefinder app to update to a newer firmware (not necessary BETA Oreo), but a little scared as there's SOOooo many firmware updates for my phone & like everything 'new' & never used before - I'm scared I may brick my phone (I can't afford to buy a new £200 each time I bugger something up)
I'm not sure if I can go from B187 straight to B209 (or B210)..
... or do I have to do it in steps (B187/B188 etc)..
.... or do I use the the OTA-MF or the FullOTA-MF version..
.... and why is there a B209 firmware (dated 2018.04.08) that 'newer' than a B210 (dated 2018.04.27) for the same phone

New updates are based on IMEI numbers, operators and country, its true, its weird how you guys didnt receive any updates yet, but after the update is available for your IMEI, operators must distribute update to customers. Was-lx1a, not only oreo beta, official oreo update should be available for your phone, like in Germany, Spain or other countries, they all receive it, B209, B210 are updates for P10 lite, b209 is for single sim model, b210 is for dual sim variant, and dual sim variant receive it after single sim, its the same update, thats only difference. My advise for you is to contact huawei support and maybe they could push updates for your phones through hicare app or somehow.
Greetings

I did factory reset on P10 lite last night and nothing happened, still no firmware update found. My phone is factory unlocked, bought from T-mobile partner in my country, and i'm using it on another telecom provider VIP (vodafone member)

I need to make an observation.
In my daily life i check 2 different P10 Lite phones for updates (both are locked in Vodafone).
So... about the updates, i observed that the availability of the updates is limited to few days, maybe a week. I actually updates one P10 lite and had no time to update the second one. After a week when i tried to update the second phone, the update info in the Update App was there as red text, but it disappeared when i tried to apply it. So i had to wait for the next update to bring both phones to the same version.
So, ya.. try to talk to Huawei using whatever chat system its available to you.

You dont need factory reset on phone, just contact their support in your country. At least, try to do that, I heard they have really bad support.

If you want oreo on your phone try to use hwota method, you will have to unlock bootloader and after you finish you can relock it again. Im not sure if you will lose varanty, more about this method you can read here on xda, just scrool down
WAS-LX1AC432B179 here.
Spoke to an operator today via HiCare / Live chat
"All devices in the UK are scheduled to receive it in the following 8 weeks maximum."
"The update is sent in batches for a certain number of devices and another one and so on."
"I cannot specify an exact date when you will receive it I'm afraid."
8 weeks, how slow they are.
Im not in the UK, but... Who knows, maybe 8 weeks for me either
It isn't uncommon for an update to roll out over several weeks. What's stupid is that you can't force the update yourself with whatever risk it entails.
Hmm, 8 weeks..... guess I'll have to see if I get it or not, before I reconsider doing the Firmwarefinder route
I contacted them recently regarding the Oreo update and they said i should receive the update before the end of July, if not then contact them again

I know your pain - Most carrier networks need to receive a Firmware Approval before rolling it out across their network. It is also likely that it is based of your IMEI Number as well, since that is what Huawei uses to check to see if you are eligible for an update.
I am originally from the UK (O2-UK) that was (at the time) stuck on WAS-LX1AC432B173, now living in Belgium (Proximus/Belgacom) on WAS-LX1AC432B209.
I would highly recommend the Firmware Finder app for using it to update. it allows you to tap on a Firmware and check in advance of updating, wether not not you can (Check Firmware Access -> Check Availability -> Allow it to use your phone for reading IMEI, and it will let you know if its is Approxed for installation, or Not Approved.).
To answer your questions:
NOTE: All of this is from my own experience with Upgrading using Firmware Finder. Highly Recommending making a backup using HiSuite to back up your phone before continuing.
1. You will probably need to do it in steps. B187 -> B191 -> B193 -> B197 -> B203 -> B207 -> B209
2. Always use the FullOTA-MF Versions.
3. Probably for the different variants (Single Sim vrs Dual Sim) like Umri Muki already said.
Hope this helped at all

Thanxs for the feedback.. I think i'll still wait the 8weeks b4 considering...
1 more question (open to all)... How will I know which of these is for single SIM & which is for Dual ?
Both show up as 'approved for installation' & to be honest I'm not 100% sure whether my phone is Single or Dual SIM anyway (brought of Amazon UK so I assume its the European/UK Single SIM model)
I THINK it's single since under Settings > About phone there's only 1 IMEI number shown & I did read that a Dual SIM would show 2 IMEI numbers (or am I mistaken)

Had been stuck on B187 for months, but decided to give Firmware Finder method a go as above, downloading the FullOTA-MF of B191 using the DNS VPN method. Had a few problems with download errors but found another post here that suggested uninstalling any updates to the 'System Update' app. That seemed to work and update started downloading VERY SLOWLY. Left it overnight and finally got the update to install after a couple of reboots. Once B191 was on, phone seems to be able to pick other updates automatically. Has picked up B193 itself and now is just installing B197. Hopefully, it will get to B209.
Phone is a SIM Free UK version bought from Carphone Warehouse.

Update -- seems to have stopped an B197 so will try B203 via Firmware Finder

... or do I have to do it in steps (B187/B188 etc)..
.... or do I use the the OTA-MF or the FullOTA-MF version..
.... and why is there a B209 firmware (dated 2018.04.08) that 'newer' than a B210 (dated 2018.04.27) for the same phone

Had a look - but that post isn't for my phone
My phone is a 'WAS-LX1A' while that post refers to L01, L21, L21A & L01A
Further checking & I find posts like
Huawei P10 lite Model No: WAS-LX1 is BUILT as a single SIM device

It can be either one. You will only be able to check if you have a single sim, or dual sim device, by checking if you have one, or two, IMEI numbers in Settings > About phone.

So at least I'm 90% sure I have a single sim phone BUT there's post that state I COULD make it Dual sim if I wanted

you sure? then what is the X is LX1A for? 0 for single sim and 2 for dual sim. so L01A is single sim and L21A is dual sim.

Sorry, but u didnt read full post and. Your model is Was L01A. You know all models have mark X instead 1 or 2. You have one Imei right? Of course you can convert but its a diffetent topic and you will find here in one of offered sections for p10l.
