Should i Rollback to B200 ?? - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Ive been breaking my brain about rolling back or not.
I almost did it and then I thought... what was better and what was worse?
Does the better weigh up to the worse?
For example....
*Battery life was better but camera was worse.
Can you help me decide?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09 using XDA-Developers mobile app

i did a rollback for the same reason..camera was worse

@sylvano2
So camera is worse on 5.01, but how's battery life in comparison with 6.0?

some small bugs appear and battery is better on android 6..camera is sharper on android 5.0.1.
the choise is yours

info
[hi friend...the b200 firmware is better than B321 ?I'm interested for photos ...I compared some of pictures made with b200 , and B321 , and maybe it's my impression but I see better with b200...thanks

i updated my p8 to B321 but the camera quality was worse, i could get good quality only in closer objects, so i rollback to B200 the camera there is fine. But the B321 is very smother comparing to B200 but it's not fine for me becouse battery and camera are important to me.

info
in fact I had noticed with B321 that the photos made ​​the views were a bit blurred on the sides , while no b200

Hello , i Think you should just wait a little. My friend got an OTA update 1 week ago for hes P8 Lite fixing SMS led issue and some other issues. Hopefully we will get an update soon for our P8 Improving the camera , battery life, SMS led bug and whatever else needs to be fixed.

Did you had an official OTA or just did upgrade on your own?
Asking because my wife's P8 is sitting B200 since i bought it (feb 2016) and no updates whatsoever.
On carbontesla site i can see 2 paralel beta branches - 5.1.1 and 6.0

Did not get any OTA, i was on B200 myself so as soon as i bought my phone i used this link to upgrade my firmware which is official huawei upgrade method:
http://consumer.huawei.com/ch-en/support/products/downloads/huawei-p8-ch-en.htm
Just be sure your phone model is GRA-L09

Thanks!
Model is GRA-L09 but i am in Eastern Europe, not sure that Western Europe or Switzerland firmwares even applicable.

I am from Eastern Europe as well, it doesn't matter, you can use Western Europe firmware. I even have my language with this firmware, just do a device reset/format before you upgrade to be on the safe side.

[FIRMWARE][MT7-L09] Huawei Ascend Mate 7 - B130 [official,russian]

Ascend Mate7 Firmware(MT7-L09,V100R001C00B130,Nonspecific(Russian),Channel-Others,Android 4.4.2,EMUI 3.0,05012PVA)
-> consumer.huawei.com/kz/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=34301
Who has the 127 on it can save them. No advantages.
For open boat loader, the recovery_h60.img work with it.
You mean
a) Ascend Mate7 Firmware(MT7-L09,V100R001C00B127,CEE&Nordic European,Channel-Others,Android 4.4.2,EMUI 3.0,05012PGF)
or
b) MT7-L09 Firmware(V100R001C00B127,Norwegian,Channel-Others,Android 4.4.2,EMUI 3.0)
or
c) something unofficial like "b127.zip"
I think official 130 is better than unofficial 127 for some people.
Of course if you nordic european is better stay on official Nordic European 127, if you installed it

I assume it's an UNOFFICIAL firmware, or al least not still tested and not officially release trough OTA update...the kernel is still "dirty" like in B127.
Can someone advice the differences in performance between B127 and B130, please?
By the way, any suggestion on how to re-turn kernel into "official" one and remove the "dirty" info on it?

Upgraded my german b120, no Problem. Why should an other country be a problem?
Be sure you have stock recovery (and of course stock huawei rom (no kangvip)) and there should be no problems.
I tested b130 and i'm back on b120. Bluetooth is still buggy for me, my swr10 smartband is disconnected randomly from time to time. Very annoying.

I never had problem with blutooth (I use it in my car for hands free only)
Btw, I have no problem to install any rom with cwm recovery via 3 buttons method.
What country you are from? Have you original stock image? I had big problem after bloody rom from China, with "custom fail" on any rom installed after that (even on 120)

From germany, stock recovery and 120 Rom. Ah Ok i thought problems could only be if cwm is installed.
I upgraded with the huawei APP (upgrade in dload folder in SD card). That worked fine.
My bluetooth is working too, but 24/7 connection is a Problem. My smartband is connected all the time and i activated the "vibrate when out of range" Option. Randomly about every two hours my smartband vibrates even its in range. My mate shows disconnected, connected, disconnected... and so on. Thats why i am back on b120

Thank you (downloaded) it's exactly the same (western european) I have allready from Huawei Italy consumer web page.. Unfortunately, I have "cust fail" at the end on every update with every rom via all three methods (local update, three buttons, hisuite) As a result, everything works but without "cust***" version in "about phone" and without some other (not critical) things.. (and no french apps installed by default) I've tried all roms (so I found this b130)..

Huawei P8 Premium

I recently bought a P8 GRA-UL10 and next thing i did was to update to MM but it turns out it's "beta" in Europe, i think only in Asia there's a stable version so far.
So i tried to rollback with the, only, two firmware i found either on XDA or Google and nothing successful, it just don't downgrade poping always the same error.
I tried VIA hardware combination and with DIAL-PAD code, it turns the same error.
Anyone with an idea what can be done?
I recently have the same problem!
I just got my phone recently from //Buymobilebd I am facing the same problem, I ask them for help so they took my phone into their service center for fixing this.
They fixed it for free?

I also have that version, and yes it is in beta, but it is pretty much stable and ready for the public, you can use it with no problem, unless you are facing some bugs I don't understand why do you want to downgrade. If your model is from china I can maybe help you find the solution if you still want to downgrade.

EMUI updater

Hi all,
I am running a GRA-L09C432B200.
My updater says: No updates.
What is the reason ? As far as I know, there should be plenty official releases from Huawei. Can I do anything or should I just update myself.
It was the same for me in Romania, just get a firmware and manually update.
Exactly the same for me, in south Africa with my software being at b151

If you are in Europe, with B200 you can update to B370 directly, then B380...
Huawei P8 Official Marshmallow 6.0 [EMUI4.0.1] GRA-L09C B370 Eur Full [no wipe]

Edit: Ok, B380 may not be recommended as it seems to have broken Android Pay functionality on my phone. If this is not an issue for potential updaters, then it's fine.

Do you guys know if and when the 7.0 nougat update will come out for gra-l09 or if there is/will be a cm14 for p8?

Today i got an email from Huawei saying that there won't be official Nougat update because they have done some testing and this is better for our device but they will continue improving the current available version of Android.
Nougat p8
this thing does not make sense because it should update the mate's p8 is not because they have the same hardware

I've 2 P9 Lite bought at the same time, one already received OTA update to Android 7 2 weeks ago, the other one still no OTA as of today...
I and one of my son's have the p9 lite but none of them got the update yet

Depends where you live. People say they already received it in the Middle East.
Europe on the other hand, not so lucky.
There are ways to update. but you have to do some research fist.
It seems it's available in Italy via OTA https://www.tuttoandroid.net/aggior...7-0-nougat-ota-vns-l31c432b371-italia-467116/
Not in Denmark yet

Nothing in South Africa either, but then again, it really isn't surprising though.
I have nougat since the last day of march. I'm from Austria and have a free C432
Me too, i'm from Europe Germany. Got Nougat from the HiCare App per OTA.

Here in Romania no updates at all :/
I think it was limited in HiCare to 300.000 users, because theres was something like a counter "289.324/300.000"
And i was logged in with my Huawei ID, maybe that was the point, i'm not sure.
But I didn't had it from HiCare.
My phone showed me the update within Settings -> System update.
I don't use HiCare for updates, but I am logged in with my Huawei ID.
