P9 lite - VNS-L21C432B160 - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

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

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
against the rules ...

You can talk with Grarak on Twitter and ask him how to solve this issue and if it's possible to go back on marshmallow from emui5

And how can we go back to mm, is there a tool to do it? I have tried to flash mm but I'm not able because system and cust partition are bigger on stock mm firmwares, so once installed nougat we are not able to go back on mm. Basically they have to release a tool witch will automatically repartition system and cut partitions or release a mm firmware with smaller partitions....Oh sorry they didn't respond, I'm curious about they're response, if they will ever replay to you e-mail.

Well, thats whats the NRD90M build is made for, so you would be able to return to MM Its a build that should give the opportunity to have a rollback... However, what I have learned is that you need a specific updatefile to do this... This updatefile, does not exist (?)

Hello dude,
it's due to your region (VNS-LxxC16xxx)
maybe you will never receive the upgrade to nougat (android 7.0/EMUI 5)...
De/rebranding for example to C432/Nordic-European region or other,,,
with the Sebastian's toolkit could surely help you...
Here the link to the thread..
Ask the DEV or other users to be suggested for the suitable/best for you...

Hello,
same as previous post i wrote dude...
I made a little search and it seems your CUST/REGION (C16) is due you live in South Africa.
That's all right but maybe you will never receive any official upgrade to nougat (android 7.x/emui 5.x).
So you need to change your cust, also called "rebrand".
You can do with @k1ll3r8e toolkit, the link is in the above post.
All info is explained as well, make sure you read a couple of time and make a backup of all your files before proceed..
Donot forget to leave your thanks to the developer, he did it for all of us users..
All the best.
@ljay1135
Hey mate use the forum to exchange all infos and files you want !!!
You are starting from zero and have a lot of things to do, try to follow and do one thing at a time....
First unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery... TWRP suggested...
So download toolkit and simply follow what explained as well.
With the toolkit you can do everything you need to rebrand....
You need some kind of files you will flash with TWRP and stock recovery so only follow what are wrote in guide.
For the bootloader, Huawei site doesn't work so use DC-Unlocker to grab it...
Use search on the whole p9 lite thread to find what you're looking for
or kindly use @ and ask dev or other users to take an advice, i'm sure someone wil help you..
It's not really complicated, just before make some things read more time what you're planning to do.
I cannot guide you throw this, you can do it.. just believe in yourself and use brain (must powerful muscle we have..)
Have a good day dude and remember make a backup and do one thing at a time..
P.S.: To do this some basic knowledge needed. if you think you do not have them, give up... Sorry..

Emui 9.1 root?

Hello boys and girls,
I was wondering if someone already has a method to root a VKY-L09 (P10 Plus) emui 9.1.
Regards
Root is cancer
I need a way to root the device too.
The model is VKY-L09 and I have updated to Android 9, EMUI 9.1.0, Build 9.1.0.252(C02E8R1P9).
Thanks a lot for any help.
Hi,
Was your device bootloader unlocked with TWRP before your updated the device to Android 9?
As you are aware the bootloader unlock is now not available from Huawei in order to root the device.
Number of sites promise to root the device and most if not all are fraud.

Bootloader unlocked. Got TWRP on it, but i cant install android 9.1 manually, don't find any working scripts like for example this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286
wich I used to update manually and to 9.0. But nothing to 9.1 yet. Also can't find any roots for 9.1 :/

Correct me if I am wrong.
Is your device bootloader unlocked, TWRP and rooted on Android Build 9.0 (Pie).
At this moment I suggest you remain on Build 9.0.x.x and not bother updating to Build 9.1.x.x.
Unless you have some urgent need to update to Build 9.1. ?
And if you update to Build 9.1 - in any event wait for months as custon developers have given up on Huawei devices due to their inability to unlock the Bootloader.
I have not the BL unlocked. Can I go back with downgrade and unlock it?
Let me know. Thank you.

Hello,
try to upgrade using THIS GUIDE.
Just change your firmware whit the one used into the guide...
At point n.2 add your device : VNS-L21C432 ;
At point n.4 choose VNS-L21C432B371 FULLOTA-MF-PV ;
At point n.13 you should find VNS-L21C432B371 update into the inbuild updater ;
As a last resource you could flash this firmware via TWRP
but it requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
Let the community know if it went well..
