You have to debrand your phone...
That presume: unlock bootloader + twrp + root + (prepare in dload folder a C432 - B160/B161 firmware) + flash oeminfo C432 + repair firmware with dload folder.
It is a lot to do and somethings may goes wrong resultin in bricking your phone...
If you assume the risks, after that you have a C432 - B160/B161 phone which can be updated to B370/B371 via Firmware Finder.

Since you are here and obviously know a lot more about p9 lite than me, can you please find me a guide to do stuff that you told me to do. I know it's a lot to ask for, but I've been grinding all week trying to find guides etc and couldn't. Thanks in advance!

What you have to do i already said but you have to read arround here to do followings...
1. From anywhere you are (B336, B329, B170-160-130) you have to prepared in dload folder a B160/B161 stock firmware (B160 for Dual Sim, B161 for Single Sim).
2. Flash oeminfo/custom.bin (for SS phone or DS phone ) for your phone localisation: C150, C185, C432.
3. After that firmware become corrupted and need to be repaired from dload folder via 3 keys pressed / dialer code / emui error message.
4. Once you have a functional B160/B161 firmware install Firmware Finder (+proxy addon) and check <Use new firmware> and <Use system updater>.
5. Reconfigure WI-Fi connection from indications in Firmware Finder Proxy.
6. Search for B370/B371 firmware (B370 for DS, B371 for SS) of 1,94 Gb size for your phone localisation and send it to updater.
7. From there it is downloaded, verified and reboot to emui updater wich make his work and bring you B370/B371 firmware.
PS: - for flashing oeminfo/custom.bin i recomand this tool which make that work just fine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
- if you have a flash-able zip of oeminfo/custom.bin i recommend flashing with twrp.

New F/W VKY-L09C432B125

Just got back form a vacation and checked FF to find the above firmware. Has anyone tried to upgrade using dload method? Any issues with this firmware i.e. Android Pay still working?
I've downloaded update.zip and update_full_VKY-L09_hw_eu.zip. I assume the upgrade method is to unpack update.zip to dload folder and use either the special menu or three buttons then the same with the other file?
Sent from my VKY-L09 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

The dload methode dont't work with any P10 or P10 Plus model, since it requires an online verification of the update file.
There is only FunkyHuawei at this moment to flash the newest firmware.

You can use hisuite update mode for rollback from andriod 8.0 to 7.0

Just to clarify 2: You need to rebrand to AL00C00. C636 won't work, it fails at 32%.

Are you investigating rollback ROMs? Huawei posted them to HiCloud and they are available in FF. Do they work?
They can be installed via hwota only, cause they have online_update tag (no dload option).

They are not approved (yet anyway) so it's HWOTA only.
They should work. The "rollback" FH uses is just the B194 OTA, but it won't flash if you modified /system etc.
I'm trying to get a hold of mankindtw to create a patched recovery for Oreo.

Follow op.
1. Unlock bootloader and flash TWRP for Oreo
2. Rebrand to AL00C00. Download dload b115 from here: https://mega.nz/#!88RmjJjA!gGmuc0gL-_sPHOQ0VAXZgTJ3lXmlRRmBqXIYNEyw9XY extract and copy dload folder to external sd.
I used al00 oeminfo from hwota (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2D9GdWntw69RXRTcHBKbV9SMWM) then flashed it manually in TWRP using terminal.
Copy MHA-AL00C00.bin to root of external sdcard.
cp /external_sd/MHA-AL00C00.bin /tmp/oeminfo.bin
dd if=/tmp/oeminfo.bin of=/dev/block/sdd5 bs=1048576
3. Now reboot to eRecovery and let it download firmware which will fail. (Not sure if this is really necessary)
4. Reboot using Vol up+vol down+power, wait for install to finish
5. Use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 to rebrand back to your firmware.

Updating stock emui ROM on a rooted P9 lite

Hello everybody,I have a question :
My P9 Lite (VNS-L31 C432B380)is asking me for B388 update.
I rooted my phone using OldDroid's TWRP 3.1.1-1,and official TWRP.
I know i need the stock recovery to be able to install update from settings.So,i googled a bit,and impossible to find the B380 firmware (my Idea was to extract the recovery from it using Huawei extractor).Then i remembered Firmware finder,and I looked for the B380 inside the App.There I see 2 entries for B380,OTA-MF (290MB) and FULL-OTA-MF (1,6GB).
From which one Can i extract the stock recovery safely with Huawei extractor ?
Thanks in advance !
P.S : if there's others ways to update than unrooting,reflashing stock recovery,installing update and then reroot,please tell me !

The way I did it is by downloading the FULL update (it's 2go) an update extractor(found in this forum) extracting the recovery from the update app... Flashing it using adb... Updating normally (make a save of the 2go update and remember the directory just in case to avoid having to dl it again) the reflash twrp and root!!

The biggest package I can found on FF is 1.601GB where did you find your 2Go one ?
EDIT : downloading the fullOTA-mf package gave me a 2.51GB update.app file. update extractor sees recovery.img and recovery2.img,which one do I have to take ?

[stock rom latest version instalition guide] Honor 8 LRD-F09

Hello all you confused people!
I was at the same situation myself without having a backup after i bricked my honor 8.
I looked everywhere but i couldn't seem to find the latest firmware with a simple and easy instalition guide.
Basically all you have to do is flash the old rom version and then update your phone through HiSuite.
Things you are going to need:
A SDCard
Your device
The firmware of your region which you are going to get through the post i will link. Thanks a lot @DigiGoon
And last your pc with hisuite installed.
1)So download the firmware according to your device.
2)unzip it and you will have a folder named "dload"
3)take the folder with its contents and paste it to your SDCard
4)place the sdcard to your phone
5)Power your phone off if it isn't powered of already
6)press the volume up and down button and then press the power button(all at the same time!!!)
7)the phone will install the update package(firmware)by itself.after that its going to reboot
8)Then connect your phone with the computer and press update on Hisuite.it will download and install a full update.
9)after that update from the phones ota and you succesfully have your device like brand new out of the box.
if this helped you in any way press thanks if you are kind enough

Will this work on an unlocked bootloader?

Yes, installation via dload method will work with locked bl and will likely relock your bootloader. And it's better to make a factory reset through recovery after installation and boot it up once before you update in next step.
About update via HiSuite, idk if this needs a locked BL.

I have android 6.0 and i want to install Oreo and later on rros.
Or is there a easier version to install oreo? Because my phone isnt bricked.

You'd be able to update to nougat, go to B412, update to Oreo via HiSuite and than flash RROS. All these passages surely will delete all your datas and lock your device back.

Hello there,
Thanks for the guide but where is the link to the firmwares?
I'm on the latest Oreo with unlocked bootloader and I wish to do that to relock my bootloader...

I tried this guide but doesnt work for me.. Once i reboot with three finger, after reach 5% recovery say me update failed

Thanks help, my honor 8 frd-l09 broke down, constantly lost signal from network operator, so I bought on eBay a board supposedly would be the same but the seller lied, the board had Chinese firmware, after searching here on the site I followed a tutorial to rebrand from frd-al00 to frd-l09, everything was perfect, until updates started to arrive on the phone and I accepted, the third update occurred an error and the phone no longer started, to make it worse i tried to install another rom Now I have a brick.
