L31C432 , what roms can i flash?

Hi,
Just recently bought this phone for spare/workphone. I have installed Android 7.0, model number is L31 and fw version is C432B336.
Im not so experienced in Huawei world and i would like know what other rom version can i flash to this phone? Are all okay as long as its for L31? Or should it always be C432 variant?

anything that works on the l31, c432 means it's the european variant

So all L31 variants work? Or is there differences in lte bands lets say like 432 and 185 variants ?

You can flash whatever rom version you want.
As most of us, we've installed vns-l31c185/c636b360(latest version of Nougat) and we don't have bugs or problems.
No matter what oem info it has (oem info is the Variant/region of the phone, like c432 is for Europe, c185 is for mena , c636 asia i guess, correct me if I'm wrong) The version will be compatible with your phone.
I don't know if there is differences between oem info of each region , personally i installed c185b360+ the additional package of c432b328 over c432b161,( i was in mm and went to nougat) and i dont have problems with mobile data.

@simo255
Thanks for the answers. Like i said i currently have rooted L31c432b336 and revolution recovery.
If i want to update b360 should upgrade through dload method or twrp?

Via twrp you can flash nougat without changing oem info. If you want to update via dload you must have the oeminfo of the rom you want to install.( So if you are on C432 you can t flash C185 Ffirmware via dload because you havr c432 oeminfo) but be carefull..there arr lots of bricked devicea.

Sorry to rub it, but I want to be sure because I already had troubles when upgrading to nougat.
But....so in twrp I can just flash the bigger (abt 1.2gb) file and its should work? No need to flash second smaller zip?
I have had Sony devices past 3 year and I have used to flash those

Ive ashed the second file and it gaves me errors
Like i did , flash the bigger size and the additional package, take a look at my thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932

I will follow simo225's instructions.
Now I'm beginning to wonder what is the differences between smaller zip and additional zip, because I thought they were the same :laugh:

You have to flash oeminfo/custom.bin for C432 localisation (Dual Sim or Single Sim - depends of your phone).

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act=findpost&pid=53500097&anchor=Spoil-53500097-5
Easy way - flash via twrp zip file ....eu_L31C432 (hw/eu).
Then flash update.zip with last firmware L31C432B210 (emui 4.1.3)
Restart you phone.

After last step (repair corrupted firmware) you lose everything (unlock bootloader, twrp, root)...
Repair corrupted firmware is doing with emui and stock firmware in dload folder and the phone is stock again...

If you flash oeminfo, phone firmware become corupted and is need to be repaired.
For that you have to have in dload folder a stock firmware (B130/131, B160/161) and power up phone with 3 key combination.

Hello dear,
I don't know if the 'demo' version can be unlocked (bootloader code),
but if yes then you can use @k1ll3r8e's TOOLKIT to rebrand to another region (cust)
like C432 european or C636 asian, etc... you just need the correct files.
Once you rebranded then will be possible to upgrade to nougat via Firmware Finder app
or some other tool/script.
P.S.: What version of p9 lite do you have ? L21-L22-L23-L31-L53 ?
Cheers

Well, i think you can rebrand to the european firmware (C432);
both single and dual sim oeminfo files and matching firmwares (B160&B161) available. (see the attachments below)
But, like a told, you need to unlock the bootloader first.
P.S.: you already risked to brick the device trying by your own,
using the toolkit and doing something wrong could turn the device in a paperweight....beware what you do with your device !!!

Dear friend,
I agree with you and completely opposed to paying, but
I believe there are no other ways than giving up a couple of beers and
using DC-UNLOCKER which at the cost of 4 euro reads the bootloader code.
Obviously you only know if it's worth it and definitely remains your choice.
For everything you should / want to do there's a guide you just have to follow.
If you encounter any problems or are unsure about how to do,
you can always meet the community or me in this topic.
I wish you the best !!
Cheers

Hello,
this happened because you
choose that firmware...
you are very lucky you didn't bricked your device.
You could try to use Firmware Finder again
to revert back to your previous version,
but as i told, you could brick it,
that's your choice.
Another way is unlock the bootloader,
install a custom recovery (TWRP),
flash an OEMinfo file and your correct firmware.
It depends on the android version,
on the region (CUST) in which you live
or for which the firmware has been released
and if the device is single or dual sim.
Good luck dude !
P.S.: took a look and it seems
the link for Hassan's twrp download
is no longer available...
Maybe other twrps are still available,
but i'm pretty sure someone could
repost it for you...

I have tried to reinstall it to my previous version, but it didn't work.

No.
At least up to my knowledge, it is impossible to get the code without a PC (more precisely, you can unlock BL without PC only if you have the unlock code).

You can try flash it with Service ROM Download . Type VNS-L31, or VNS- .
Download correct firmware - EMUI version, Cxxx (the bracketed (Cxxx) is your device’s regional variant.
This number is very important in determining the correct firmware to download. Select your previous Cxxx, not current C00 ) and single/dual SIM (all firmwares that end with even numbers are for dual SIM, odd numbers are for single SIM).
Instructions can be found in 'ReleaseDoc' folder.
If you cannot unpack downloaded zip archive on PC, unpack it in the internal memory using this RAR apk.
Extracted 'dload' folder copy/transfer to the SD card. Good luck.

There's no Service ROM for EMUI 4.1 , you have to flash UPDATE.APP file.
