Dude I have just purchased the ALE-L02 and before I update and root it I want to extract the firmware file for people like you.
If someone can help you will be in luck.
Build Number: ALE-L02C183B120
Country: New Zealand
Vendor: 2Degrees
EMUI: v3.1
Vince

2Degrees appears to have disable the dual sim feature. Any clue as to the easiest way to undo that? I assumed that all P8 lite models were dual sim, but it appears that the firmware differs.

I think to have dual SIM you need to flash another vendor to the phone. This could mess your phone up though if done incorrectly.
I don't know how to do it but I'm pretty sure that's what people have done.
Why do people want dual SIM?

Pls help me understand firmware update possibilities

Hi,
I am reasonably computer literate, but almost new to Android, ROMs, rooting etc.
I live in Australia and have a new P9 bought in an online shop in HK. (You can only buy grey P9's in AU, I wanted silver.)
My P9 is EVA - L19 C636 B150 . I understand what all this means, I've done a couple of day's reading on this forum.
The phone is unlocked, and seems to accept my temporary Kogan SIM all right. But I remember seeing somewhere the word "Vodafone" when I was exploring. I can't find it anymore.
I would like to know if I can expect to receive automatic updates from anywhere. I will not be using Vodafone SIM.
I have read somewhere on this forum that there already is firmware B168 and B170 for L19 C636. When I try Settings/Update/Check for Update there is no update.
If I eventually decide not to wait for automatic update and do it manually, do I have to update first to B168 and then to B170?
I have read about two methods of updating -
1. downloading the update file, pasting it to SD card dload folder, pressing the three keys for 8 seconds, etc. For this method I do not know where to get the update files from.
2. using the Huawei Updater utility available from this forum. I don't understand this process, changing proxy IP address, etc.
Could somebody please explain or point me in the right direction. Thanks

Here are download to the latest firmwares, u can jump to B170 from B150.
I Think that the latest OTA to L19C636 is B150, these firmwares are direct from the Huawei database.
The easy whay to upgrade manually is:
1. Download B170 update.zip and extract it to desktop.
2. Create a folder on your sd card and name it dload
3. Put the file from the firmware u extracted called update.app in the folder u created on sd card called dload.
4. Open dailpad and type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose option 4 and update.

Thanks very much, Mostar088.
I assume that the SD card can have other stuff on it. Or does it have to be empty?

You can have other stuff on SD Card. No problem.

OK, I have downloaded and unzipped the package. The update.app is there all right, - almost 3GB - that does not sound like an update in Windows terminology - is it a complete replacement of the original firmware?
I did not find any description of the changes covered by the update. Is it possible to find out somewhere?
One general question - on this forum, is "firmware " exactly the same as "ROM" ?
thanks

Thanks again. The B170 update doesn't seem to do much for me. Could you please post the link for B168 - maybe there is something more important in that update.
Is there any system in these updates? Why do they jump from B150 to B168 to B170?

I'm new to Huawei. I've recently got myself a P9, supplied by EE in the UK. I'm on C440B138 build. Trying to work out how the firmware versions work, coming from using a Galaxy Note 4 its a little confusing. My phone has no network (EE) branding but in using this build am I locked to EE, can I not manually update? Could someone point me in the right direction as pages like this .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586 ... seem very overwhelming with firmwares. This build I am using has a security patch level of June 2016. I'm not overly interested in N, it'll eventually roll out but I'd quite like to be a little more up-to-date. Apologies for having to ask, I have looked but I can't find a definitive answer to my question(s). Many thanks in advance.

Used P9 - Missing Stock Apps

Hello everyone!
I just bought an used P9 (EVA-L19) in pristine condition. It arrived with the nougat update but it is missing all Huawei apps. I don't think I really mind not having those (less bloat, hurray!), but I really want at least the camera app! What should I try? This thing is full stock (unrooted), and I'd rather keep it that way... Should I just flash the full stock firmware? HiSuite claims my phone is up to date, but I've got no idea how to check what build my current firmware is.
Thanks!

Oooh... the build seems to be NRD90M "test-keys", which appears to be an old beta build from my googling. Do I have to go back to MM and then upgrade to Nougat? Hopefully I can do all that without a custom recovery...

You have an intermediate firmware.
Search here the B378 for C432 if you want the european version (wich is working fine; some other last updates may have some problems - for example, with B383 me and others have problems with the battery).
Where are you from ??

I'm from Brazil, but I know for a fact this phone isn't brazilian. It comes with a bunch of stuff written in spanish rather than portuguese, and a warranty certificate citing a bunch of spanish-spekaing latin american countries. I'm browsing through the forums and trying to find out what is my Cust yet. But thanks for the response.
Also, if I have to flash something, is it better to stick with Nougat or is Marshmallow more hassle-free?
(I've attached a screenshot of the status screen from Huawei P9 Tool, this is all the data I could gather so far)

I can't read the screenshot ...
On the "About the phone - Version number" what do you have ??
For example, mine has EVA-L19C432B378, where:
-EVA-L19 is the phone model (P9 dual sim);
-C432 is the european version;
-B378 is the firmware version.
Also, you can read that thread too ... https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/how-to-downgrade-nrd90m-to-marshmallow-t3541400

All it says on "Version number" is "NRD90M test-keys". I've read that thread, but to downgrade you need a ROM, and without knowing my Cust ID I'm not sure which ROM I should get.
The screenshot shows my serial number (XVV7N16425001010), the model (EVA-L19 - Dual Sim 32GB Rom 3GB RAM) and a weird build string (eng.jenkin.20161230.130431)

Dual SIM EVA-L19 - No idea if I've got NFC or not. Can't find anything NFC-related on the menus, but it might be that I do not know where to look. Long time Windows Phone user here, just migrated back to Android :laugh:

It does have dual SIM, and is the EVA-L19. So no NFC then. Does it help? I'm currently looking for debranding guides because I can't find what branding this phone originally had.

Oooh well... so far:
1- *#*#2846579#*#* doesn't work (nothing happens), can't enable Manufacturer mode for DC Unlocker
2- The HUAWEI EMUI site doesn't give me a bootloader unlock code, so can't unlock the bootloader with the official method
So, so far, I can't install TWRP, so I can't flash a C432 oeminfo.bin
Also, the Rollback instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/rollback-eva-l19-android-7-0-emui-5-0-t3496091 fail, as the rollback intermediate firmware just fails at 5% claiming to be incompatible with my device.
Aside from blindly trying to flash random firmwares with the three button method, do you guys have ANY ideas at all? I need a rest, just wasted the whole day trying to get this damned thing fixed
Sad thing: even with a borked firmware install this is still orders of magnitude better than my old Lumia 930.

I'll give the instructions of the first post a try, though they did not work for the OP.
EDIT: AAAAAND the 800mb file is downloading at 28kbps... this won't be fun

I'm not sure if it would've been better to edit the last post or add a new one, so if this is agains the rules (I've read them and couldn't find it), please inform me and I'll change things accordingly... buuuut.... IT WORKED.
The OP on the topic absynte pointed out never really posted the outcome of his issue and it looked like he never got it to work, so here is what I did:
Flashed the zip file
I flashed the zip file linked in this post through starting up with vol up + vol down + power. Exactly like the guy over there it did not solve my issue, but did uncover I had exactly the same build as him (EVA-L19C185B361 - Middle East / Asia)
Flashed the intermediate firmware
I download the correct intermediate firmware (C185B300) from here and flashed the same way. The *#*#... menu did not work (as in the menu itself didn't show up)
Flashed a MM build
I downloaded and flashed C185B180 for whatever reason (could've gone with tha latest MM build right away AFAIK). Worked great, all stock apps were there and so was bluetooth
Let the phone update itself through OTA
It updated itself to B210 (or B220, don't remember well) and then B385. Seems to be working fine, but I haven't given the battery a fair chance (constantly flashing and updating stuff) to judge its performance.
Thanks everyone for the help!

P20 Pro CLT-L09 8.1.0.131 (C432) terrible update?

I have bought Huawei P20 pro, one month ago.
It's default firmware was perfect on battery life.
But, l have updated my phone twice.
Now firmware is CLT-L09 8.1.0.131 (C432).
I am using the same settings and same applications.
I have resetted my phone twice.
But unfortunately, my phone 's battery life is terrible after those two updates.
Anyone has any reccomendation about this?
Thanks..

I don't think it's a terrible update. I had a really nice battery life after some time on .131.. But if you're on C432, .152 should arrive soon to your device, which increases battery life a bit more (imho).

Thanks for your comment.
Should i wait for update, or do i have any other solution for this?

Just let your phone run normally. It will stabilize after a while. When I updated from 131/132 to 152 battery life was crap and now it is back to how it was.

I am often cleaning cache with storage cleaner.
And i am often cleaning ram with virtual navigation bar.
These can cause my battery to get empty quickly?

Sure, leave everything as it is don't clear caches and ram that will consume more battery to build again,let the os do what is needed.

Yes. You don't need to clear ram or anything. This is not like android 1.5.
Just use everything normally.

Mine is CLT-L09 8.1.0 152 (C432) GPU TURBO
When you go to IMEI.INFO you can check your device info and history. Usually with my history of Huawei phones, most of them that I used to posses were unlocked from a carrier network. Eastern Europe always get updates last one.
In first 10 days of P20 Pro I got two system updates, which is not bad.
But for Android P I think everybody that owns this version same as mine, will have to wait a bit longer for newest Android system.

Thank you all for your messages.
How can i install CLT-L09 8.1.0 152 (C432) without ota

So is it healthy to update phone via pc?
Do we have to update phone via ota only for a healthy phone?

Has nothing to do with a healthy phone. The update installs on your phone the same way as it would via ota update. The way to getting to the installation is different.

I am asking this because, my firmware is starting with L09, but new firmware is starting with L29!

Is this safe to flash? It says not approved, but It's the same model as my phone.

It's the 132 firmware for my exact model, but it still says unapproved.

Flashing a UK Firmware on XQ-AT52 12GB (Green one) from Hong-Kong? Anyone tried? Any issue with the RAM (detect and use the full 12 gb?)
I have one on the way and interesting to know if anyone tried or had any issues with it.
The only reason for me to do this is support for wi-fi calling if not on the firmware out of the box.
Any comments / ideas relating to the firmware on that model?
Thanks

how did it go?

I have flashed the UK firmware onto this very phone just now. The phone still shows it has 12GB of ram and 256GB of storage space as normal.
The only difference is the UK firmware can't see the second sim card slot since UK phones don't have one. So in the About Phone sections you will only see one IMEI number and no mention of a second slot.

Honestly because you don't need to root the phone or anything it is super easy. I just used the latest firmware that XperiFirm 5.6.0 (by Igor Eisberg) has listed for the UK and used that.
I also used this flashing guide - [GUIDE] Flashing XQ-AT51 Firmware on XQ-AT52 Device
The only thing I would mention is when I followed this guide (I think step 5) Newflasher asks you to make a back up, but after you do the program closed. I had to redo it again but then choose not to make a back up allowing the program to advance as the guide says it should.

Thanks for your quick reply, I appreciate it. Thanks for your help. I will give this a go when I finish work today...

Hello All,
I am in a SIMILAR situation (just reversed). I have a AT52 dual sim also from HongKong that I am REALLY happy with, but sadly it had some issues and I sent it for repair.
Sadly, the repair company have replaced the motherboard, and have replaced it with the AT51 motherboard (!!!!!!!!)
Is it possible to simply reflash the AT52 ROM to get the second SIM working again?
thanks for your help!!
Nick

Hi All,
I did the jump last night and flashed the UK AT51 firmware on my Dual Sim XQ-AT52 Green 256GB/12GB from HK.
I downloaded the firmware using XperiFirm 5.6 and flashed with Newflasher. I used the guide links in an other post above.
Attention, use a USB2 (not 3), I started with a USB-C 3 cable and got a known error, as documented on Newflasher thread.
Also, did "n" (no) to flasihng persit (important).
THanks to all the developers of these fantastic tools
I lost the SIM2 but I was not using it. I have an SD card in that tray anyway. My phone now shows as an AT51!
All the rest is perfect and as expected.I still have 12 GB of RAM and 256 of internal storage.
Bonus, I am now IMS registered on EE UK and can have Wifi Calling and VoLTE!
Thanks to all and the great XDA forum and its very knowledgeable peoples!
