Hi everyone,
I'm having Indian version
I was able to downgrade to Naugat (C675C150) via firmware finder. The above update (downgrade) is available on FF. I was so desperate to go back to Naugat as I was not satisfied with the oreo. In the past, I tried every possible method listed in the forum but nothing worked. I even hard bricked my phone which had to be sent to the service centre and they replaced its motherboard. But luckily today, I chanced upon the above update in firmware finder and downgraded my phone.
You just need to attach your phone via Hisuite to your computer. Enable USB debugging if it is not. When the computer detects your phone, click on to update and it will show the rollback option. Tab on to it and let the computer do the rest. Do not disconnect the phone during the process and let it reboot. Voila it will be on Naugat.

Hello to all,
I have a smartphone Huawei P9 Lite version VNS-L21 with firmware version VNS-L21c432b160
Following the update of the firmware, the phone when it is idle or while using or telephoning, randomly restarts without any errors.
I tried to perform a reset to factory conditions, but nothing done.
Now I wanted to completely reinstall the firmware via SD Card, but I noticed that there is also the version of the B161 firmware.
The problem is that by the Updater app, this update B161 does not appear to me!
Able to make the manual flash version of the B161 or if there is some reason why appears in updater app
Obviously I do not intend to lose the guarantee.
Sorry for my bad english
I look forward to your advice
If you are on VNS-L21c432b160, update via OTA to VNS-L21c432b161 is not going to happened...
I think if you wait for OTA, next update for you is B170...
You cand make a manual update to B161, update will going ok,
but you will find out that firmware version will not change, remain B160...
In my case is tested from B130 to B131, from B150 to B151 and from B160 to B161.
Update proceed without error, but firmware version not change...

then, should I reinstall the firmware B160?
If the problem occurs again what can I do to try to understand the problem?
The phone has also restarted after resetting to factory conditions, without installing other apps.
the problem is that Random happen, it does frequently
Try with C432B130 firmware as reference.
Those symptoms unknown for me and i make many flashes/reflashes with different versions and
i din not experience even a single random restart of phone...
I suspect a hardware problem...
Can I install an older version of the firmware without losing the warranty with completely stock phone? If possible ... Where do I find the firmware? Thank you
Updating up/down with stock firmware's not affects warranty...
You will find L21C432B130.zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16538#downloads
Keep in mind: every time when make updating on your phone, something can make wrong and you can brick your phone.
Hi everyone,
I bought axon 7 (A2017) Chinese version from aliexpress. It's on B07 version, when trying to check OTA updates - it says no updates. If I understood correctly, that's because seller flashed gapps. No problems, I thought, I can do this myself... After 2 days of reading, downloading malware and even trying to register on chinese zte forums I give up.
-Tried simply putting update files on sd card and updating - no luck. Most probably because I can't find b08/b09 updates for straight A2017 (without U or G), have the last two only.
-Installed drivers, tried unlocking bootloader -failed. Adb works, detects device, however after rebooting to edl - adb does not detect any devices (enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking.
-tried flashing with MiFlash - errors "[2,07 COM6]:cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status!"
-tried rebooting to edl manually (up/down+power) - boots, but adb does not detect devices (MiFlash sees it as com6 though)
-tried using axon7tool and minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4 - same, detects while on, reboots to edl and nothing
-tried sideloading twrp through the adb sideload - says signatures are bad...
Oh, as a bonus, recovery is in Chinese, so I have to guess what's what
What could be the issue? Drivers, device itself? Owner? I don't want to be on the damn 6.0.1 - my nexus 5 was on that. plus zte skin is awful, I would want to flash cyanogenmod or at least a newer version that does not have the damn bell icon, or permanently stuck sms that I can't delete or mark as read
Is there a way to flash US or EU firmware? Any ideas would be welcome. And sorry for writing here - as a new user I'm unable to reply on the dev posts
Hi I have the same problem can anyone help on this issue to resolve
My unit is from aliexpress also but it was B11 when i received it. What i did was enabled usb debugging and oem unlock from dev options. Then boot in stock recovery and format the phone. I think it was the option above the choices where there is 'sd' written. Then installed the update via sd for b13.

I finally managed to do this via this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-b13-chinese-a2017-root-unlock-t3549873
and now I run lineageOS
you will need a laptop that you have admin access to, which allows you to disable your antivirus though.. which was my main problem
Moderators, if any, you can lock the thread
Hi man I hope you're OK. Today I was on A2017V2.1.1B07(MM) and I just downloaded B11(third one) from this link (http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support/detail?id=B4C0ACE418834F588FED0C72D6046C78]) and put it on SD card and updated and installed it from settings(although I downloaded and put B11 on sd card, it showed B13 ROM update in settings). Then when It was finished , I got B15 Nougat OTA in settings and downloaded and installed it then again I've got B16 OTA in settings and installed it and now everything is okay. But I wanna ask you if I did it all correctly???(because I downloaded B11 Rom(not b13 rom from that link above) but I got B13 when I put that B11 on sd card and went to the setting)and Did you do the same???
Hi,
To be honest, I don't remember the actual steps. I followed this threadhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-b13-chinese-a2017-root-unlock-t3549873 and finally did it =)But I don't think I was able to get and instal OTA updates =) I'm on US B25 version now, and every time I update I basically use DrakenFX's builds. How do you like your axon mate?
build 16 is latest so you are up to date
Is there an easy way to get it? I tried the firmware finder app from the play store and it's still not working. I show the updates available, but when I try to send to updater it keeps bringing up that notice saying I need to go into my wifi and change proxy to localhost and 8080, even though I've already done that. Is there any other way I can get the nougat update?
I'm having the same problem I can't update to any nougat firmware I'm on c636b191
See my post in the OTHER thread you created.
You must update to b200 via dload and then boom u get nougat update
Hey Guys,
I tried updating my tablet from 4.1 to 5.0 and now i am having some issues. I have no keyboard and my fingerprint sensor doesn't work anymore. So i have no way of doing anything. When I try to bring up the keyboard i get the google voice window.Build number shows BTV-W09C128B350. Trying to understand the steps i need to do to get my tablet back and running normally. Do I need to go back to 4.1? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Erik

How did you do the update? Did you use Firmware Finder and it's DNS update or did you use the dload folder method? I used the Firmware Finder method and everything went smoothly even with an unlocked bootloader, You might try to use that method to reinstall Nougat, but you will need a keyboard to change your DNS settings to the one Firmware Finder needs and for that I suggest you try a USB keyboard connected through an OTG cable.
I will say that once you get Nougat working, the 5Ghz radio goes back to not working and the file that needs to be updated to enable it seems to have changed. So far, I can not find the correct file/setting to change to enable it. For me it is more annoying that I can't get it working than necessary because I am getting between 20 and 40 Mbs with the 2.4Ghz radio and that is plenty fast for what I ask this tablet to do.

i Johje,
I was able to rollback to Android 6.0 and 4.1. Do you have instructions on how you did the Firmware finder update?
Thanks again for your help
Erik
I used Firmware Finder to update to the most recent Full Update for the US version. After Selecting the firmware choose "Get an update through DNS" and follow the instructions. This will install the beta Nougat and restore your recovery partitions even if you have an unlocked bootloader. Once the tablet has Nougat installed, root by installing TWRP to the Recovery2 partition which will replace eRecovery and leave your main recovery in place. Use TWRP to Flash Magisk and PHH Superuser to root the tablet because from my experience SuperSU does not work for Nougat on this table. Once rooted you can enable the 5Ghz radio by finding the "cfg_btv_hisi.ini" file in the "cust_spec\vendor\etc" directory and then just change "band_5g_enable=0" option to "band_5g_enable=1" , after rebooting the 5Ghz wireless will be enabled.
Hope this helps

I have also tried to update to 5.0. Everything seemed fine, but there is no keyboard, calc, file manager, etc. The "full..hw.." update seems to go really fast and it says it's done but there is no difference in what is on the tablet. Now I'm stuck at the point where it's A7.0, but I cannot do anything. Try getting google voice type to enter a complex email password
Any help on the second phase of the update is appreciated.
USA
C128
B350
used dload method to load.

Can you use Firmware Finder in your tablet's current state? If so, try updating using Firmware FInder's DNS method. You will need to be able to update your network DNS settings, though. Have you tried using a corded keyboard connected through an OTG cable or a bluetooth keyboard?
I did not try using the dload method because earlier attempts an updating Marshmallow to a more recent build always failed because of my unlocked bootloader.

Unfortunately I could not fgure out how to do anything with it in that state (no keyboard, no internet, etc.). I tried to find a quality rollback for USA, but was not sure of what was out there that was correct. I ended up installing a EU version so at least it's working again (with old Android). I also realized the next day that my USB cord was bad and that's why I could not ADB or Fastboot anything. I'll try an upgrade again in the near future. Thx.

How did you install the EU old version? do you have link to the ROM?
Hello, short Story before. I got a full Hand of non working mobile phones because being full of a hell of viruses.
5pcs. younger ones.
2 Huaweis and 3 Samsungs.
Well so far 4 PCs. are saved.
Getting into the phone wasn´t possible anymore. Data not important so I resettet over the Buttons to original Status. -> Worked fine.
But one Piece which is a Huawei P9 Lite guess it is a single sim? was the button method not possible cause it wanted a Software update and Installation of WLAN failed (EMUI)
Getting into the phone for any informations was also not possible because of all the viruses and not working right ahead anymore.
Well ok -> will use High Suite for stock Firmware -> this mobile phone is not supported and also couldn´t activate MTP as I am not in the phone. So far.
Next Idea -> ok. will take the C900B300 and go back to Marshmallow. From original HUAWEI site.
Took the European Version in German. Did it over EMUI (hold 3 Buttons) and worked so far but when I turned on I was stucking on the WIFI+. Even pressing the button -> further nothing anymore. So I thought -> maybe another stockfirmware useful.
Again C900B300 and then I think I did the big mistake. Took out the sdcard during it was rebooting (HUAWEI was already visible) and now it is big crap. Stucks at HUAWEI. Turning off not possible. This EMUI is not possible anymore. Just with a trick I am able to get into fastboot. Yeah. But what then? Reading TRWP which I know from Samsungs but putting it on with ODIN. ODIN doesn´t work with Huawei. Do I Need TRWP to get it back to normal Firmware? Mobile phone was never customized or anyhting else. just normal stock was on it and is the wish to get a clean back. Resetting to factory was not possible anymore.
So my questions, even I know it is my fault. Any rescue possible?
What could be the best stock Firmware. I Guess it is a single sim from Austria unlocked and unbranded. Would also take Nougat again. Just wanted to get it back to normal working and now I guess I have a big letter holder. Model from the backside is VNS-L31. More I don´t have.
Thanks a lot for any help for my being an idiot. Samsungs are much more easier than HUAWEIs.
Blimey mate,
This really just boil down to what partitions were damaged in your case- Most likely your system and data,
however since you are still Technically running unmodified emui you could manage to sort of salvage it.
The logic is this:
Most custom roms for the p9 lite build on top of emui (patching the system image) rather than replacing it (like the way samsung smartphones do)- so you could flash the rom, it would wipe your phone clean of viruses in the process and then proceed to do a hard restore back to emui.
1.) get your phone into fastboot and flash this twrp http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/forum.html#nabble-td27
2.) Then flash this rom : http://www.meticulus.co.vu/p/ressurection-remix-for-hi6250-devices.html MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THIS SITE VERY CAREFULLY
3.)Follow this guide to do a hard restore https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/tips-revert-custom-rom-to-official-t3668413
good luck!!! if you have any questions hit me up!
Hi
Hi Exiatron00,
thanks a lot for your maybe solution way. Will do it this evening after work and come back.
Hopefully it works cause as mentioned in other threads -> don´t think that the original owner opened the Debugging so that I can work over a tool. FRP locked is in fastboot. This was already mentioned in other posts which I have read here in the forums.
Thanks for your step by step explanation. Will do it. Hopefully it works. I am really pissed of my own that i was unpatient with the sdcard. That´s a mistake which shouldn´t happen. Anyway it did. So i will try to do everything to get back working again. I am from IT so I am not such a DAU but newbie with HUAWEIs. Most are Samsungs.
Will give Feedback.

If u need to transfer files , just boot into twrp (it has built in mtp support) , then transfer the file from ur PC to phone via a micro us b cable.
If you are unable to fix the phone I do actually have a FULL twrp backup of my phone (EMUI 5- single sim Europe VNS- L31 C432B370) hit me up if u want it.
Hi,
well adb for flashing not working as device not found. Hi Suite installed. Guess that the USB Debugging is not enabled. hrmpf.
There is a similar thread of somebody with no enabled USB Debugging.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/fastboot-recovery-remotely-enable-usb-t2177440
He writes an solution how to enable in fast boot mode with using N4 toolkit.
Search for a p9 lite toolkit and found this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
may could work?
Big **** -> as Long as USB Debugging is not enabled as Long I am not able to Flash TWRP over adb.
If I connect to PC Hi Suite opens automatically. So driver should be fine as pc recognize the phone.
hm?
Got it working somehow

Hi Exiatron00,
got it working somehow!!!!
Bought a 3 day licence for DC Phoenix where you are able to put Firmware even in fastboot with FRB lock and no USB Debugging on.
So I got the IMEI and Fitting Version which is a L11.
Downloaded it original from Huawei as I still want a original stock Rom not customized which was
HUAWEI P9 Lite Firmware (VNS-L11, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B161, WEU) only wokring one.
BUT the big Problem is that the apk Android System Web View is missing in the ROM. A known Problem by HUAWEI. Yeah now I am stucking in the Setup wizard like this guy who mentioned also the solution whell the reason of this Problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...stuck-initial-setup-upgrade-to-t3498097/page2
So my question now. How do I get the apk on the phone still no USB Debugging? Does anyone have this Version original incl. this apk? Maybe an img. from a running working System?
Only way I am able to put the Firmware on is DC-Phoenix. It is valid still two days. Maybe someone can help me? Please?
So an Image of VNS-L11, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B161, WEU incl. Android System Web View, so that I can go ahead and use the phone again please?
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards.
