Hey guys,
I'm a noob when it comes to firmware stuff, only had some experience with rooting/flashing lg g2, which was pretty much straight forward. As of now, I have owned p9 lite for around half a year and I've grown tired of EMUI so I've decided to root my phone, install TWRP and flash something else. The only problem is that I'm not really sure if the processes of rooting/flashing presented in most tutorials are applicable to my phone, because the build number contains "ITA" and I haven't seen anything like that before. Does that change anything or can I just not bother and follow the standard procedures?
Regards,
Paul

I think you should not encounter any difficulty rooting your phone indifferently from the firmware you come from (however it matters if it's emui 4 or emui 5) it matters if you want to install roms, in this case it's recommended rebranding the phone in a popular and supported region (like C432).

Thanks for the answer. Now I'm running emui 5. So, if I want to install LOS 14.1, I just need to root, rebrand and then I can flash the rom?

Sorry for late answer, I don't know if you already fixed your problem but yeah you need to rebrand, flash C432B370 (dual SIM) or B371 (single SIM) and then follow the procedure to flash Los 14.1
Rooting isn't necessary because all of those things don't require user root.

Hi Guys,
Long time android user here, I bought the P8lite ALE-L21 a month ago, and have been thoroughly enjoying my experience with the phone so far. When I purchased the phone, it had (and currently does have) the Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM build B183 preloaded into it. I have since unlocked the phones bootloader and rooted it, as per the course with new android phones
I've read numerous threads here regarding the upgrade to the Marshmallow beta, and have been stumped as to how to get the darn ROM flashed to my device.
I've tried using the EMUI manual updater to flash B188 over as a stepping stone to the beta, and also tried updating straight to the beta to no avail.
I'm thinking that I may have to downgrade in an attempt to get B188 on there, but I'm unsure as to which build to flash.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Huawei P8 Lite, it came with Lollipop 5.0.1. The thing is I would like to update to 5.1 at least. For all the reasons we all know about, this is kind of a must. However my operator hasn't send me the OTA package nor could I found one in any Huawei website. So I mailed them about this a few days ago, and got no answer yet.
So anyone here went through the same/has a stock 5.1 rom for this model? I have also read that some people swapped to ALE-21 for the updates and stuff, but I dont wanna mess with the baseband, since those post are not always properly detailed about this stuff.
Any comment, info, post, link, whatever on this topic will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You can find more info here. if you don't want to upgrade to Ale-L21 just use this as a guide (Chapter 4) but with your own stock rom file that you download from the huawei website.

So i looked up the problem that you had with converting. and i put a comparison in the thread. thx for pointing out something we didn't mention before
you can find the comparison here http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=7978&id2=8162&id3=7966
the Ali-L21 supports more basebands the the ale l23 so that's all.
Seems like my only choice is to force an ale-21 single sim rom into my phone and try not to screw it in the process.. I dont understand why Huawei wont release a 5.1 update for .23 even if its the same as .21
Thank you a lot, I will follow the steps mentioned above and try some luck

The guide from Controllerboy works perfect ( advice read it more than once ) , the axontoolkit works too.
If you decide to go with custom rom you will loose ZTE Dolby,
but viper works good, but there are debloated stock roms which you can use with Dolby and root.
Unlocking the bootloader is always helpful, if you decide to use custom recovery and root, because if you mess up anything you're mostly lost with a locked bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader will completely wipe your phone, better you copy your important stuff to PC.
If you just want to update your phone copy the latest official
firmware to the external SD card and use the update function.

This is a bit outdated, you can follow the guide on mm or n, doesn't matter. No need to down or upgrade before.
---------- Post added at 18:55 ---------- Previous post was at 18:49 ----------
After you did the unlock, the twrp update and flashed the Los thread bootloader + modem you can use this rom, guess this is what you want:

@am2006 it seem strange that you don't receive OTA update. It is seem that the seller had done something with the phone (properly install A2017G on A2017 chinese model). Before doing anything, you must know you model, cause A2017G brick is pretty hard to fix

No I think the last update in Italy is MM, but I'm not sure, the device is new and I check the model and SN on the mobile and its cartoon, it is matching

I recommend using stock Nougat. Stock ROM has pretty good camera, Dolby, DAC which you will missing when using custom ROM. (Stock MM is bit crappy, ZTE has fix a lot after several update).
Beside, RR is very good custom ROM.
Official Xposed does not support Nougat yet, there is an unofficial one but not work with stock Nougat, I haven't try on RR

There are multiple iterations of Dolby made as a Magisk module. Magisk works perfectly on both LineageOS and Stock rom.
Hi all,
I just received a Huawei P8 Lite 2017 with the bootloader unlock code.
I really thought it would take me 10 minutes to "flash" my phone with another rom (when I wanted Cyanogen on my SGS3, it took even less)... and here I am, 3 weeks later, with nothing done and no progress in understandng how to change a rom on this phone.
I spent hours going in circle on a few sites which are supposed to explain the procedure, but there's always something missing or a command that won't work or I get to choose between hundreds of rom without help.
This is kind of my last hope before giving up...
My phone:
Model number: PRA-LX1
Build number: PRA-LX1C432B212
EMUI version: 5.0.3
Android version: 7.0
My question:
"How can I install https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...ment/rom-aosp-10-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t4008999 as a beginner on my phone?".
Is there a comprehensive guide somewhere that would help me do that?
For the moment, I don't understand much of the installation section of the post (really not for beginners), and I'm stuck at the "required" section:
"ROM Firmware Required: Emui 8.x,bootloader unlocked and TWRP"
Since it took me 4 hours, this morning, to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP using ADB, can someone explain to me the step "Emui 8.x"? I really don't understand how to choose a working rom.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide and sorry if this message is a bit messy, I really am confused...
Edit: Nevermind, it seems like I needed to write this down to find my answers piece by piece on many different posts on different forums
Sorry for the disturbance.
Emui 8.x - please update your stock huawei rom to oreo. Then you will have Emui 8.
Hello there,
I have just received an old P9 lite - VNS-L21C432B160. I has Android 6.0 an EMUI 4. I wanted to flash a custom ROM but I am not able to. I have bootloader unlocked. I am able to instal TWRP 3.0.2-0. But all custom ROMs I tried, gave me ERROR7 or Signal 11. (It is not possible to correct Error7 according to manuals here...)
There is TWRP 3.2.1 for this phone but it doesn't work at all. I found out, it wants EMUI5.x which I do not have. Is it correct that I need to update to Nougat7 and EMUI5 first? I am trying to do it maybe 4 days already. I have tried everything which is available on the internet but I failed. I have original Stock ROM file with Android 6 - it works.. I also have update file for Android 7 (B336), but the phone doesn't want it. According to official manual, I need some kind of transfer package, which is not available.
Can anybody help me with flashing a custom ROM to this phone? I would love to have LineageOS 14.1
Thank you very much
Karel

Hi Karel,
use Firmware Finder app to update to android 7.
I recommend vpn/dns method.
You should point to B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV one...
All info are inside the app and some videos are on You_tu_be...
You can update the same way to latest firmware.
Good luck... :fingers-crossed:
Dude if you will succeed do not use 3.2.1 twrp, use instead 3.1.1-1 one..
Cheers
Hello Hello, thank you very much !! I was successful. The phone runs with the latest firmware now. I tried to install lineageOS 14 but I am not able to do that. I am stucked at the boot logo .. I found info: "If you stuck on boot screen, change your file system"... filesystem of what? SD card? Phone?
Thanks in advance!

Dude, the instructions are so old,
also i never installed LineageOS 14 on my p9 lite. (I do not have it anymore)
I can tell you to use twrp version 3.1.1-1 and I recommend posting it
in the appropriate thread, maybe other users can answer in more detail ..

Hello dude,
i wish to help but i think it's not possible....
anyway the best you can wish for is having android 7 stock
or some custom version of android 8.
As you wrote you have the cinese variant (G9 Youth). It should have
a different processor and need a personalized rom, can you check it ?
Go in settings, phone info...
Please report your complete firmware version
(example: VNS-L21C432B160/VNS-AL00C00B230)
and chipset version (example: Kirin 650/Snapdragon SD 617)
P.S.: You don't need to post in multiple sections.
It is also considered to be a duplicate and it is
