Hi
i purchased p7 while ago and then while i search in the internet i find that there is many models of p7 and mine was p7-l11 and it's australian model but i'm not from australia
so this model seems that it doesn't receive any updates and it's still on EMUI 2.3 and probably will not get lolipop update also
is there a way to make it like global model (p7-l10 ) by install another ROM or something ? so it can receive the updates normally
thanks and sorry for my english.

You can flash the latest version manually, but I can't guarantee that you won't damage your device.
I think not much can go wrong as long as you don't change the kernel and have a backup of your current build (use CWM recovery > backup).

Probably only the CUST partition is different, but alas, there is no information whatsoever. If I'm not mistaken the Asian versions have the same hardware, so the number after the L should only mean that it's for another region, and that's all. There are a few ROMs made for the L01 here on the forum, and they are working on the L10, and vica versa. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't create hardware malfunction, so even if the software is buggy on the other variant if you have a backup, you can always flash the original.
First i would check if you have an unlocked bootloader .
When not unlock it by rooting with root genius.
The Kernel is for all models the same .
The different is the system , modem and cust partition.
So when you have one sim slot and one micro SD slot you can try it with the L-10 Software when you have dual-sim you have to try the China devices Software (L-5/7/9/0)
But i would recommend to flash a full update and not only the system partition
But flashing these Software from one on the other should not damege the device ..
But when you do this this youre deal, so don't blame me if something goes wrong...

i don't know if the bootloader unlocked or not , How could i know ?
i have one sim slot and one micro SD slot so it will be same as L-10 , so do i just follow the steps like in this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343 ?
or should i do something before it ?

If think your best bet is to ipdate with the three button method with the original bootloader and recovery. Download the full B609 ROM from here (click on Letöltés), put it in /sdcard0/dload (or on the SD card, doesn't matter), and update either through the system menu or by holding down all three buttons when booting. In case anything goes wrong (which it shouldn't), you can use the same method with the L11's ROM to downgrade.

is that easy ? so i don't have to change anything like in the link ?
also i don't have L11's ROM and i didn't find it so is the backup will be enough if something wrong happen ?

Updating to the official ROMs is easy since there is a force update option. In your case it will still work and most likely will not cause any harm.
But now that I think of it, if you want to make a backup, you're out of luck. Well, mostly.
If you'd like to create a backup, you'd have to
unlock bootloader / flash an unlocked bootloader
flash recovery
backup your current ROM
All of the above can be done but you cannot flash a B609 ROM on top of a B133 base - you'd have to update with the recovery and bootloader you just lost to make a backup. If you don't have the original ROM's files, you cannot go back if anything goes wrong.
To sum it up:
you can easily update
you (probably) cannot make a backup
Decide for yourself it it's worth the minimal risk.

Well, since the L11's number seems to come from only being sold in Australia, and no hardware differences, the update should go without a hitch. But we can never know since nobody reported anything about it.
Now, just to be clear - L10 users have flashed L01 custom ROMs, and there seems to be no problems apart from the ROMs' bugs.
My opinion is that there will be no problems, but I am no expert as I have never heard of the L11 variant.

Ah, didn't think about the CUST partition - but yes, this is probably the only difference between the submodels. I you want to make sure you can return, see if your L11 has an update.app for the CUST partition. I remember distantly flashing these when upgrading to B602 (the beta of 4.4) and now when updating to the Lollipo beta.

it has the same build number and same custom version of mine and it's from the same company (Optus) so it seems like it's the same ROM on my phone !
do you think it will help if something wrong happened and i can return with this ROM ?

Yes, the second one seems to me like a complete package. Don't know how to unpack the update.app, so we can't be sure. There is a thread though with an almighty CUST partition, that might help you - also, if you change the CUST, you can surely flash the ROM that' bund to your new CUST - so I think if you flash the international CUST with the international 4.4 ROM, then you can go back to the international B133 if aníthing goes wrong. Make sure you make a note of everything in your system information menu before doing anything.

Yes, you should first update to B133. Don't really know if it is necessary, mind you - but since that's the way he did it, I wouldn't wander off a beaten path The second step he makes is the update.app that modifies the CUST partition. If you flash that, I bet you can always roll back to B133 in the same thread.

If you have flashed stock no brand fw starting from your branded P8 and now have a lot of problems about your device, or simply you want fully debrand your P8:
Put this file in your dload folder and flash it as all other Huawei FW from " updater " panel.
After that, reflash your full stock FW .

hi, if u want to debrand P8, first unlock bootloader then root the phone.
install files explorer and allow root access,
go to device /system /media and just delete boot operators animation.zip as XDADEVX say
then go to cust/ and cut folder for you'r opérator to sdcard (backup).
reboot it's done, no more brand, just huawei,
it seems thats more parameters change when deleting operator folder, like shortcut.
worked for me.
Here is a list of all the stuff that I got rid of, mostly crappy apps that are of no use and also the low battery noise and the boot sound:

You are absolutely right. Although Sokkoban's ROM is really very good, you cannot go back to the official easily. Still din't try to flash another rom, like cm 11 and then go back to the official. If anyones does try it, he should let us know.

You need to flash the original recovery(which you already have). Then put dload folder in sdcard and upgrade manually. You might get BALONG bug (because this happened to me) so I recommend you to start from beginning( the very first firmware for your model/country). For me it was B120. It contained two dload folders one was the system and the other was vendor file. You need both files.

If you are on B052 (official) and did not have balong bug then I think you can update to emui 4.0/Android 6.0 without any issues.

By the way do you have nandroid backup of official rom? If yes restore it via twrp. This could save you a lot of time. The method I used isn't difficult but it takes time.
On sokoban's rom. Flash the original recovery (recommend that you extract it from the firmware you are going to flash).Use the oldest one (link given below) emui 3.1/Android 5.0 for dual sim
Now put dload file in sdcard/internal memory and upgrade the phone.
If you have balong bug put dload2(rename it to dload) folder in sdcard/ internal memory and upgrade.
Now later you may upgrade to Android 6.0/emui 4

On sokoban's rom. Flash the original recovery (recommend that you extract it from the firmware you are going to flash).Use the oldest one (link given below) emui 3.1/Android 5.0 for dual sim
Now put dload file in sdcard/internal memory and upgrade the phone.
If you have balong bug put dload2(rename it to dload) folder in sdcard/ internal memory and upgrade.
Now later you may upgrade to Android 6.0/emui 4

No, I used TWRP backup.
When I tried to extract the images from an official ROM (I have done so many attempts that, I cannot remember which ROM I used), I was able to flash 3 out 4 files. The one I couldn't was the system. When I tried through classic (dload etc), It got stuck at 2% and would give me an error.
But that's all in the past. lol
At this moment, my phone is at the service center with no warranty cause my wifi adapter is not working. From what I've heard, such ptoblems, need mainboard replacement and I cannot afford it at this moment. So I am going to stuck with this phone till it's dead, and of course not going to install any ROM, just because I cannot update anything..... cheers!!!

I know that there are some threads over this topic, but there is nowhere a specific answer. I have currently Sokkoban's ROM, and I want to revert to the official build. Can someon provide me with the necessary files in order to flash a stock recovery? I found only this answer, but there are no available links for the files. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. I have ALE L21- dual european edition, running on custom rom based on C432B574.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: tried with the HuaweiUpdateExtractor with the UPDATE.APP file, and flashed the first 3 images (boot, recovery cust) but I get an error while trying to flash the system.img.

Well tbh, you can simply convert the system.img using simg2img.exe and then make a flashable zip.
then you can install the system.img withing recovery

I used a test keys version to rollback from nougat beta, from that version you should be able to flash the last marshmallow firmware and then upgrade to nougat. This is going to erase your data. Hope this can help you.

If you use firmware finder, you will find a rollback package (just read the changelog).I.e. mine was NEM-L51C432B130 with date 2017.04.14.
You need to set your model code, because FF won't recognise the test key.
What I did was to install a small update to a Russian test key version (on 4pda it is said that won't work on Chinese version), than I flashed B130 (the last before nougat beta).

It should work. If you can't download it or have troubles there's a post in this forum with firmwares. The only way that worked for me was to download the firmware (I can't remember if from FF or somewhere else) and flash it over test key firmware using dload method.
Update.zip should be enough, but I used both.

If I remember right, only update.zip has the update.app while the other one has things like preinstalled apps...make dload folder on the root of the sd, then put the files of the two zip into dload, you should now have update.app and a bunch of other things in dload. The only must is update.app

You didn't have a recovery ? Do you mean you had stock recovery ? Because it's perfectly fine to have stock recovery to flash official firmware. Something you can try (always using dload) :
1) download http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http://d...d=94264&version=377923&siteCode=ru&e=58206831 and flash it, then download and flash B130...after this you can upgrade to B150 (this is the way I used)
2) Maybe you're able to directly download and flash B150, but I don't think this is going to work
3) try flashing the stock firmware that came with your phone when it came out, for example B102 (but I doubt it will let you downgrade this way)
Make sure you're downloading the correct version for your device and make sure the download doesn't fail and check the downloaded archives.
In case you've messed up with the stock recovery there are many guides on how to restore it.

Probably because you've installed the L21 and the the one I linked is for L51. I can't help you any further now. I will search and if I find something similar, I'm going to let you know. The only things I can say to you at the moment is to search more information as possible using Google, xda and 4pda (this last has a lot more consideration and active community for our device, but it is in Russian and maybe you are going to need a translator, for example the chrome integrated one)
This could help : https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=761127&st=3000#entry58206831 but the italian translation of this is not very understandable to me.

In the link I posted scroll to the first post and it show the method I already suggested to you (official) and two alternatives. As I told you before I can't fully understand the alternatives because of translation. From what I could understand, those methods are in case the official fail (like yours) it seems to suggest to unlock the bootloader, install twrp and then flash a nougat firmware using twrp (maybe a modified version of the firmware). This will probably void your warranty and I'm not sure if what I am understanding is correct, but it is the best I found so far. I hope in your language the translation is better.
Hello everyone, so today I tried installing lineageos on my g play mini, and while I was factory reseting using twrp, it actually deleted my OS, even though I'm fairly sure I didn't check internal memory... Anyway, my phone got completely wiped out, but I can access twrp recovery, and fastboot mode. Is there a way to get back to the stock ROM? I've been trying for hours, but I can't find a solution. There are no custom mods for this phone, even the twrp version I'm using is for the honor 4c. Any help would be appreciated

I tried that, it updates normally but it stops right before the end and it gets stuck
I also tried extracting the Recovery, Boot and Cust files from the UPDATE.app file, and flashing them, but it doesn't do anything.
When I try to install it via zip file from the original recovery menu, it fails instantly with the message "cust link file fail. please check if vendor/country is valid. Software install failed!"

I still had the one that came originally with it. Which is Android Kit Kat (4.4) if I'm not mistaken. I never changed it while my phone was alive. I tried flashing the 4.4 rom available in Huawei's official site, as well as a lollipop one, and a 6.0 one. None worked, unfortunately.

I'm not 100% sure, but here's what I did:
Downloaded an oeminfo zipped file, and flashed it through twrp. It was supposed to be for my model, but after flashing it successfully, I noticed my phone showed the "honor" logo, instead of the usual huawei one.
So after that, I downloaded the Kit Kat rom for Honor 4c, and extracted the following files from the UPDATE.app: boot, cache, cust, system, recovery.
Flashed them independently, and then I tried to turn on the phone, and it was working again, running Android Kit Kat. After that I've been able to update it to 6.0, EMUI4.0, through dload, local update method
this **** was scary but I pulled it off somehow. I have no knowledge whatsoever, this was pure trial and error for 5 days straight.
I should be able to install LineageOS now, don't you think?

If you had Android version higher than Android 5 and TWRP, you can download stock firmware with firmwarefinder (if it still exist, search in forums for it) and flash it in TWRP like any rom.

I want to know, because I want to provide this guide also for fixing problems like you have ... or had.
Use dload forced method with first before using scripts.
Just download the correct firmware for your device, if you know the firmware-version you had, use the exact one, because it was approved for installation:
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model
Extract the the update.zip and put the update.app into a folder called dload on your sdcard.
Start you phone while holding all 3 buttons, this will launch th dload process.
This way you maybe safe some time.

Is there a way to retrieve the exact name of the installed stock firmware? For my VTR-L09C432 there are multiple versions listed (like 360, 365, etc). Also I am wondering what's the difference between FullOTA-MF / OTA-MF / FullOTA-MF-PF, etc.

No, you can´t check your version, but if you choose an older firmware, you should be fine. Afterwards you can update to a newer version.
The only problem might be, if you already had oreo installed, then you should use it again for restore, because the partitionlayout changed from nougat to oreo.
All version named B1XX are Nougatfirmwares
All version named B3XX are Oreofirmwares.
Choose a FULLOTA for updates, the others are just incremental and won´t help you in your case.
To be exact you should use a FullOTA-MF-PV. The PV stands for public version and all other firmwares are just internal builds from huawei.

If you don't want to go back to stock firmware, you also have the option of custom roms such as Lineage OS or one of the others in this forum.
If you go with stock firmware, I suggest you make a Nandroid back-up before you flash TWRP. You can easily do this by booting into twrp instead of flashing (eg: fastboot boot twrp.img). After creating and copying the back-up to your PC, you can proceed with flashing twrp and never have to worry about the softbricking again =).
