[Solved] Soft brick after trying to upgrade to newest rom version - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

I'm also one of the fools that got his phone stuck in the boot... it boots up till the Huawei logo and after that nothing. I've tried several solutions but still no luck.
I've3 got the Nougast recovery from Bulywolf (or something) and i've tried flashing different roms but no luck so far. I also made the mistake to change the data partition from f2 to ext4... I guess that caused all the problems but how do i solve it?
It is actually doing my head in...

I managed to install the first file from the rollback tutorial... It said it was succesfull but now I'm still stuck seeing the Huawei logo... So I guess it didn't work
Edit: Managed to get in! But it says my version is NRD90M test-keys....

Are you sure you have right phone version VNS-L23?
You wanted to update to B329 which is Android 7.0 right? If so, put the right package to downgrade to MM and then try three-buttons way.

yeah my device is the VNS-L23C605B120 and i can´t find any update.app that could work, the device stay in logo mode when I tried to downgrade it or reflash it..

I can't downgrade to 6.0 It says that my package it;s not compatible with my phone... I'm from Romania, but I have a VNS-L31C432B336 that it's registered in UK..

Hello there
Do you have access to TWRP or Revolutionary recovery? If so, you can check on google for "Huawei P9 Lite oeminfo", downloadit, flash zip via recovery(TWRP or Revolutionary), then try to force update you phone by holding all 3 buttons when phone is booting up, make sure that you have update.app in dload folder on sdcard.
DON'T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR BOOTLOADER UNLOCK CODE!!!

I was in Nougart on test keys, so i downloaded the first file, installed it and it restarted my phone. I set everything back up and checked I was still on test keys.
Do I have to flash the larger second file as well?

Hi bro!
Could you find something for your version? I also have the same model and I have a hard brick, could you solve your mistake?
Could you give me the official firmware link for this model (VNS-L23C605B120) please?
THAANKS!!

well, here is some you can try, find a downgrade update.app, later re flash it with the according restore update.app, it will end to 97% but it`ll work enough to start the cellphone and install the custom twrp recovery and make an good install.

Ok, i did follow the steps and it still doesnt boot! What should i try next?
If you installed an update zip it probably wants the stock recovery which you can get in the development thread on this forum. Flash that through fastboot then throw a folder named dload with an update.app in it on your sd card. Phone off hold power vol up and vol down until it brings you to a circle with emui inside. Should run fine after that. If not use the stock recovery to factory reset.
The reason your phone won't boot is because out never encrypted itself.for some reason that means life or death to mate 8 firmware

when you start the flash.all.bat and you see the unbrick message your phone should be busy and install the above official firmware and recovery.If not run it again disconnect your phone and connect it again when the unbrick message shows.To me worked fine.You must have your phone in fastboot off course

Stuck in huawei logo

hy guys,
i got an ALE-L21 and I'm from Portugal.
I tried to root the phone for the first time with this tutorial, first with "How to Unlock the bootloader on your Huawei Android device P8 Lite" by Rootjunky.com from youtube and then "How to Root the Huawei P8 Lite Android phone" from the same author. but something went wrong, and now i'm stuck in huawei logo.
I already tried to format sd card, and put some firmwares, just with the paste dload, with the file on it, but it always says "software install failed"
V100R001C432B052 (Dual SIM / Europe)
V100R001C432B041c (Europe)
V100R001C432B046b (West Europe)
those 3 didnt work - how do i figure out which one i need without starting the device to look for the build number
it is also rooted what i guess caused the problem in the first place
Please help me!

Rollback to Stock Firmware - European Version

Hi,
I played a bit around with my Huawei P9 Lite, but I forgot to save my initial settings (originally it's a branded phone by 3 Austria). - Yes, my bad.
Now I'd like to go to back to the original firmware. I realised that I have firmware VNS-L21C900B161. - But my phone used to have C432, not C900.
What does C900 mean? Do I still get updates? How do I get a C432 firmware?
Sorry for those many questions, but I am desparate. I just want the correct Version for Europe (unbranded). - Also to get the update to Android Nougat.
Any help is appreciated.
Seth01
You must flash oeminfo C432 and then flash update.app...there are good tutorial in youtb.....
It worked, but... :/
Hi
thank you so much for your help. Now I have the European OEM C432 Version.
But if I (re)boot my smartphone now, it says , "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly." - But it does work properly and it also boots normally then.
How do I get rid of this message?
Greetings,
Seth

Reflash firmware. B160.

I am actually afraid to reflash. Will it then not become OEM version C900 again?
Can I flash via SD-Card with the dload folder, or do I need a tool? (I have downloaded and used the "VNS-L21-L22-L31 Toolkit.exe".)
Seth
Did you make factory reset before boot??
Yes, i did. And In the meantime the message is gone. So everything's fine so far.
But my bootloader is still open.
Any idea how to close? The message on reboot that the device can't be trusted, is rather annoying.
Seth
You got to relock.use the toolkit.....for me after downgrade that warning message about bootloader unlock is gone.but in fastboot my phone is unlocked...
Yeah, I'll try tomorrow. I tried to lock with the tool, but it crashed when I tried to.
Thank you to all of you for your help!

Nope. It will not become because you will flash the c432 version. That message you get is because you unlocked your bl. A simple relock or firmware flash via dload will solve your problem.

P9 Lite Offical Stock ROM

Hello. I want to ask, if there is anyone, that has or knows where to get official UPDATE.app for Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L21, so I can completely reinstall my phone to stock.
I would prefer something around B390 or B380 ROM, because I have issue with early ones, that updates android to Test-Keys....
Thanks and regards
I used this site to download the rom and used this extractor. It worked for me with no problems.
Hi there, you can try an app from playstore called frimware finder .. you can get any update you want from there. And it doesnt require root. I use that to get the newest updates.. It works for any huawei devices.
Hello, i'm having issues with my p9 lite vns-L21 it in boot loop and i don't know which software to download and flash. I am from EU, and factory reset doesn't help, the phone enters in a "update" kind of state where it tries to connect to wifi and download something, but the download fails because "packets failed to download" or smth similar

You just need to find the stock rom for your device and force update it by copying it on your phone as 'dload' folder and pressing pwr button and volume up and down buttons all at the same time

Hello,
try this before u bring phone to assistance..
Check if TWRP work for you, and if you donot have then install one for your version firmware then put in SD the files in links...
Reboot recovery and flash oeminfo.zip.
When finished turn off the phone and reboot with vol up+vol down+power buttons until flash starts...
When finished reboot to e-recovery (vol up+power button) and make a factory reset.. That' all...
Wish you the best..

Hey i dont know if i can help,
explain the problem as better as you can.
Yeeeeah, if you ask me Elite rom is simply bad. Yes, it is fast and etc, but if i have to pay for some features then that is a BIG NO.
Why you want to flash Elite rom though? Half of the mods barely work and it is no different from the stock EMUI.
