Hi,
I got a huawei P10 lite locked in demo mode (coming from a commercial center demo product)
I unlocked OEM, open bootloader, installed TWRP (hope mine is the last), and I forgot to backup demo rom before trying to install a stock.
At this time, I can :
- enter TWRP
- enter Huawei recovery (but does update anything in wifi)
- enter bootloader to use fastboot.
My model is a :
WAS-LX1A on C652B101
I downloaded stock firmware posted 4 days ago, (http://bit.ly/2mcaPDA) and choose France Bytel (WAS-LX1AC530B171).
I put the update.app in a dload folder in my microSD card. I tried to update with vol+ vol- power.
I got a failed error
I download too WAS-LX1AC530B170 and got the same problem. I supposed it was because it wasn't the same country code (mine seems to be 652 right ?)
Finaly I found a supposed compatible version on (http://bit.ly/2hqbOOW) named : Full Firmware-mf WAS-LX1AC652B130 and a second one named Ota Update-mf WAS-LX1AC652B130.
I extracted update.app and put it in a dload folder and did not succed in upgrading.
My question is : Have I forgotten something ? Or is this demo model locked to be upgraded ?
Finaly, is there a backuped rom usable with TWRP to be restored ? (like I saw with the P8 lite 2017)
Thanks in advance, for your help, and my appologies for my very poor english writings
Man i recommend backup only oeminfo, copy c432 and restore, then with servicerom b182(ds) or b183(ss) copy update.app + all was folders inside dload to dload folder inside sdcard
Don' waste your time with vendors+huawei

Thanks for your quick answer.
Can you give me precisions plz ?
- backup only oeminfo ? You means backup with my twrp ?
- copy C432 and restore, you means download a stock c432 and restore it with twrp ?
- 3rd part is ok

Yeah you make a backup with twrp in your sdcard(copy to safe place), then copy/replace c432 and press restore.
Ok fine !
Have you got a link for the C432 wich could be copied or restor with TWRP ?
thanks
Here you can download dual or single,
if you can acess to settings<about phone therw you have the imei(s), or too looking in the box https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/how-to/huawei-p10-lite-oeminfo-collection-t3670325
Ok !
Just to be sure, there is no problem to use a servicerom LX1 to repair mine wich is a LX1A ?

X means some number such as 0 or 2.
L21 dual SIM.
L01 single SIM
A is mark for 4gb model.
Great ! All seems clear. I will try this evening and will come back to informe you about the results.
Is the old oeminfo usefull after a successful restoration or can I keep the one I used in your sample ?

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.

I have L31 and I want to debrand it from C440 to C432. I did some research, but still I have some questions.
1. Unlock bootloader + TWRP + root - I found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701
It's ok right ?
2. Flash oeminfo of C432 and this should be done by SRKTool and oeminfo I found there https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
3. repair firmware via dload folder - Unfortunately I don't know how to do it. In the instructions for p9, it was done also in SRKTools using "Install Recovery 6.0", but there P9Lite is not mentioned, how should I do ?
4. Install new ROM - I should install new ROM for c432, right ? It's using 3 button method ?
And that's all ?

Regarding <3. repair firmware via dload folder>, you have to download stock firmware for C432 (B130/131 or B160/161 - depends what oeminfo you flash),
unzip update.app and copied on dload folder on microsdcard. Power off and power on with 3 key combination and repair start...
At the end you have a brand new C432B1XX phone...

Indeed, you lose bootloader unlock, twrp and root (if you have).
If now I have c440B160, and I place oeminfo for c432 do i have to install c432b160 or I can install c432b131, because I only found that version
I installed TWRP and Root, and now I don't know how to change oeminfo, because in srk is only p9,not p9 lite, and I downloaded package .zip and tried to install it by TWRP but it didn't work. How should i do this ?
Ministry of solutions has a full tutorial, I used it and it worked flawlessly

Hello guys...
I'm so stupid that i was even trying to do something with my phone. I got P9lite from my local carrer (PLAY) (L21C900B160) and i was trying to debrand it. Bootloader is unlocked and i flash TWRP for install new oeminfo (i think i just downloaded wrong one). After that i wanted to reflash my soft via dload (L21C900B160) to same version. Then i realize that i can't do it coz "its not valid version, try correct version" (i was using same dload software before). After that i was trying to normal boot my phone but i have "Type password to decrypt storage" and i'm writing correct password and i see "DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFUL. You entered the correct password but the data on your phone is corrupt. To resume Using your phone you must perform a factory reset [...]" and i'm doing it. Factory resed done "Successful" and i reebot my phone to set it up but i see always "Type password to decrypt storage". I can't use fastboot commands in fastboot/bootloader mode (even try to find out that my phone is still bl unlocked), and i cant do anything with it. I don't know what to do with this. Please help me guys
EDIT:
1. What can i do with it?
2. It was big mistake to flash oeminfo (c432) to my c900?
3 . Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this oeminfo zip? Added to download for you.
If you used a C432 OEMInfo you must download and install a firmware that is C432 and Marshmallow.. Say B120/B160 and try to flash it through 3 buttons method.. You should get a phone working
I was trying it but installation failed

Your attach oeminfo is for VNS-L21 Dual Sim, and is fine.
That problem with error corrupted firmware is normal after you flash oeminfo...
Something else is going wrong...
You are sure that you put in dload folder on microsdcard update.app from VNS-L21C432B130 stock firmware?

Hello guys,
I have a P10 lite Vodafone branded with the serial number:WAS-LX1C02B120
I have tried unbranding the phone several times but without success.
I want to thank in advance the people who are willing to help me in this process.
Cheers,
Andrei:good:
Here you can find my explanation on how I did it on my was-lx1ac02b120.
I chose the build B182 so now my telephone is dual-sim too.
Hope it works for you too.
i'ts more easy my guide:
after flashed twrp(previoys backup before do something):
1º insert sdcard, make a backup only to oeminfo(copy to safe place)
1.1 extract c432 copy to backed up folder and restore oeminfo
2º create a dload folder on sdcard
2.1 open b182 or b183 two times and you see update.app and folders, copy all to dload folder in your sdcard
3º power off your mobile and unplg from the pc
3.1 press vol +/- and power buttons till update starts, wait to finish.

Thanks foliaje, I have tried WAS-LX1AC432B179 and its not working. The phone boots fine. Basically, I rooted and it tried to update via TWRP and failed. Now trying to restore to stock and getting this error. DO you have a link to the exact firmware that I can try - tried several of them now and its failing.
Ok, I managed to go back to stock by downloading via Firmware Finder. So, dload method via SD Card don't work with this phone or what? Would appreciate if someone can confirm?

if your p10lite came with b183(confirm please) now you must have installed b185 or b187

Hey foliaje, Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
Let me explain my issue: I have purchased my phone yesterday, it upgraded to 185 (I am assuming it was B183, didn't check) via OTA. Then I almost finished setting up the phone including ROOT but a b187 OTA appeared little bit later but failed because I had TWRP already installed. That's fine, no problem. So wanted to start again like I usually do - download the firmware, put on sd card and off you go......
But the problem with this phone is (and I had quite few Huawei one's including tablets) when I downloaded the full firmware, using the SD card dload method I get "Software Install Failed" but it seemed to have worked when I did it via Firmware Finder (I am on B187 now). So something not right - either something has changed or I need to do something else.
So what's the issue? The only think I can think of here is that you are saying that this phone require a 'service' firmware that does not do authentication or something? Right? I am downloading C432B183 from your link and will see what happens (bit slow).
I really would like to know now so I can get back to stock when I mess things up
OK...I followed as below:
Downloaded http://androidhost.ru/JS
(1) Copied main UPDATE.APP to dload folder
(2) Then renamed WAS-L01A_hw_eu\update_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.app to UPDATE.APP and copied to dload folder
Is above method correct, can we do it in one go?
Anyway, I think it has worked (had to do few reset) but the firmware version was showing WAS-LX1AC432B179 - is that correct? OTA upgraded to WAS-LX1AC432B185

Thanks dude, appreciate your help.
Now - any ideas why the firmware finder firmware's don't work on this phone via dload method?

In the UK and have exact same model. Filmware finder did not work for me also. The one in the link below did though! Its the first download you need. Copy the update.app and the folder 'L01A' to the 'dload' folder on your sd card. Does your phone boot? If so in the dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose software upgrade then sd card update, it will then flash the filmware to pure stock.

Yes, its all good now. Bizarre - Huawei making things difficult now. Which TWRP are you using? Can the TWRP backup function works for you i.e. encryption disabled?
