p8 lite single sim to dual - P8lite General

Hello i have a p8 lite ALE-L21C150B588 android version 6. emui 4.0.3
It was bought from cosmote greece and the 2nd slot is locked for sd card only.
My question is it possible to make the phone dual sim so i don't have to carry a 2nd phone?
I tried once and ended up with a balong something version
Thanks in advance for the help.

The 2nd slot is only an SD card slot. You have a single-sim variant of the phone.

You can flash dual sim firmware but you will never be able to use the second sim slot unless you add IMEI2 somehow

I converted my P8lite ALE-L21 from SINGLE to DUAL SIM and it was OK.
I tested the 2 SIMs simultaneously and make/receive calls, make/receive SMS's worked very well, "and I only have 1 IMEI".
I did not test anything else because I do not use 2 SIMs it was just out of curiosity.
How I did it:
When I got the idea to convert, I was already on [android 6 with Bootloader unlocked, custom recovery, ROOT] so first what i've done was [UNROOT, put original Recovery and downgrade to android 5].
Then it was only follow STEP-BY-STEP chapters 5 and 6 from HERE (it is important not to go through shortcuts in this part).
Sorry my English!

Single sim -> Dual sim without imei duplication
Ale-l21 Single sim ale-l21 b898! ------------> Now dual sim. ale-l21 b564
This is working.
Dont have imei duplicating...
You need
1. bootloader open
2. oem unlock
3. twrp (for backup)
and now have wipe --> data, system, dalvic cache, cache
4. stock b052 dual sim rom.
You need adb tools(download and install)
dont fastboot flash recovery recovery.img! Just boot, cust and system.
relax system have bug dont starting. Power off.
5. vendor folder update.app
copy dload file on your sd card.
power on + volume up + volume down.
6. b188 stock rom upgrade
download and deleted last dload file on this sd-card. copy again b188 dload.
system->update software with sd card
7. b564 stock rom
again copy dload file and update with your android.
Finish.
You're welcome!

*FIXED* No OS installed no backup, install stock rom with TWRP *FIXED*

**UPDATE RESOLVED**
For anyone who searches and has same problems.
I needed an sdcard to get the files onto the phone.
To recap - it was stuck in boot, TWRP would load and stated no OS installed.
1. In rooting guide as per Here download file linked in the guide and unzip.
2. From folder 3 of that zip file there is a folder called data containing stock.img - place this onto sdcard.
3. Then go to this thread and download the files as hosted on mega.nz - over 2 gig.
4. Extract that zip to the sd card so that on the card is a folder called 'dload'
5. To confirm, the dload folder should have update.app and 2 folders called dt and hw
6. Put sdcard into phone.
7 .Boot into TWRP
8. Goto install, select storage, select your sdcard then select stock.img, agree to install, ignore message about no os.
9.Once that has installed my phone just restarted, EMUI came up, read the dload folder automatically and ran.
Then once phone started it found a newer update and installed that.
Phone is now working, unrooted and bootloader is locked again.
All this was found on the XDA site, just across various posts.
Thanks again to all.

Hi all.
Please help, I'm a ****!
I unlocked bootloader with Huawi code from thier website.
Then I installed TWRP
Which in turn installed SuperSU
All rooted, jobs a fish. as per - This one and This thread.
Decided I dont need root anymore.
Tried to reset and wipe the phone.
Went into TWRP did a factory reset wipe.
Then went into TWRP again and did advanced wipe, and selected everything.
(yes yes i know, what a tit)
So after that i get the 'this phones is unsecured' message, press up vol 3 seconds, press power button to conti, wait 5 seconds etc.
so I wait, and it sticks on 'Your device is booting'
Restart, can get into stock recovery and hisuit will see the phone and try to restore it but fails and say my device is not supported??
Can get into erecovery and connected to wifi to try and update but does not find anything to download.
can get into twrp.
I have downloaded a stock rom as per -- This ROM
Perhaps this is not the correct ROM, but then how do i find out the correct ROM needed now I can not access phone details?
Forced that onto SD card but TWRP will not run it and says it is corrupt.
I can see it with ADB and device manager so my question really is....HELP??
How can i get just stock rom back onto it and then un-root and re-lock the bootloader?
Cheers in advanced.

you can find the model (for me it's vns-l31) on the back of the phone, just find the corresponding oeminfo file and the update file. flash the oeminfo file, put the update file from the rom zip in the dload folder and reboot using the 3 button combo till it says something about installing update
here's a list of update files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...huawei-p9-lite-firmware-compilations-t3517124
and here you can find the oeminfo files, there's a google drive link under oemfiles, at least for the vns-l21, 22 and 31: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873

Hi, thanks for the reply.
All of those links refer to the P9 Lite - is this the same internals and software as the normal P9?
On the back of my phone it has - Model- EVA - L09 FCC ID: QISEVA-LO9 - IC: 6369A-EVALO9
I do not see how this relates to specific oeminfo file?
Lasatly, can you provide details on how to flash the oeminfo file to device and do you mean the following for the update:
So in rom sip there is a update.app file - extract this to sdcard in a new folder called dload? then install that via twrp?

first of all, no, p9 is a different phone, but you posted on the p9 lite forum. i'd suggest posting this question on the p9 forum.
i don't know exactly how it works for the p9, but it shouldn't be much different.
for the rom zip: inside that zip there's an update.app file, that file should indeed be put in a new folder called dload, but it won't be installed through twrp.
on the p9 lite it works like this: you flash the oemfile through twrp, and after that push and hold both volume buttons and the powerbutton till the phone reboots and shows an update progress screen, then you can release the buttons. now the update file will be installed. but then again, i don't know the procedure for the p9 so be sure to post your question on the correct forum.
edit: i've taken a look on that link to the stock rom you tried installing, it's a zip file that contains the dload folder, just put that folder on the root of your sdcard. do make sure it's the correct version.
you will have to flash the stock recovery for your phone however, and if the p9 works the same way as the p9 lite you should find an oeminfo file and flash that with twrp.
So sorry, I didn't realise I was in the lite forum!
I'll ask a mod to move, sorry and thanks for you help.

[GUIDE - L31] How to change C432 to C636 in order to get B361 Nougat

Hi, everyone.
I did this to my device and succeeded, so I thought I'd share the procedure with you, if you want to do so, too.
IMPORTANT: I am NOT responsible if you damage your device by following this guide; I am an XDA member like you and I am just sharing a guide that worked for me.
I am assuming you have all the Huawei and ADB drivers installed on your computer and know some basics on how to do these things; if you have no clue where to start, don't risk.
First of all, you need to be in C432B161.
You need to download:
1. This toolkit https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873 and relative package for C432;
2. OEMinfo for C636 you can attached to this post (thank you to the creator);
3. B170 update.app from C636 you can find in this package (1) http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66846/f1/full/update.zip
4. the firmware package and data files (B361) you can find here
(1) http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1258/g104/v77171/f1/full/update.zip (2)http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...cseas/update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_spcseas.zip
Procedure
1. Back up all your data because this is going to erase everything from your phone;
2. Open the toolkit, and after installing the package for your device, unlock your bootloader, install TWRP and root your device which you can also do directly from the recovery (the tool is very easy to use and I am not going to be extremely detailed on this one);
3. In the toolkit, change the OEMinfo of your device by selecting the custom.bin and OEMinfo you find in the package attached to this post;
4. Reboot your device by entering the Huawei recovery and do a hard reset/cache clean from there;
5. Insert the update.app file you find in the C636 update package (which is B170) in a folder on your SD you rename "dload" (obviously without the brackets);
6. SD in your device, press the volume keys and power button to upgrade your phone to C636B170... I got an error during this process, but the phone booted and I proceeded regardless;
7. Do the same procedure as before: this time only unlock bootloader and install TWRP recovery by using the toolkit, and in the meantime put the two files to upgrade to B361 in your SD and put it back in the device;
8. Enter TWRP by pressing volume up + power button, install the update package first and then the data files;
9. Do a hard reset from the Huawei recovery you now have, and clean the cache. Reboot;
You are now in C636B360, the Nougat update I find the most stable.
If you want to get rid of the initial booting warning, you can relock your bootloader by doing so:
1. Connect your device to you PC, and from the ADB drivers folder on your hard disk, you open a CMD command (right click on your mouse while holding Shift, then "open command in here" or something similar)
2. Switch off your device, then connect it to USB and immediately switch it on while holding volume down button;
3. In the CMD window, type "fastboot devices" and then Enter to make sure your PC detects the phone;
4. Type oem relock + your bootloader code;
5. The phone will ask you if you want to relock the bootloader;
Done!

On step 7. Can i update has in step 5. Put firmware update.app and then the Data update.app (with eRecovery - Vol+Vol-POWER)? (like that i dont need to unlock bootloarder again and flash TWRP)

No, you need to install it from the recovery because there is not just one update.app file, it's a package with many files in it. You need to do it from TWRP please

The localization. C432 is Europe, C636 is from another country. In terms of features and performance, there is no difference except C636 has been upgraded to a pretty stable version of Nougat and you can have it on your device..

You did not flash the additional data package, so you don't have all the files. You have to unlock the bootloader, flash revolution recovery for nougat since you don't have TWRP anymore (it's been replaced by stock nougat one) and try to flash those files manually. I cannot guarantee the results because I find that recovery really unuseful to say the least (my opinion). If you don't succeed, flash the oeminfo for MM you find on htcmania, and revert to MM with stock firmware and 3 buttons method

Nobody is. I personally believe it's all marketing strategies. They want us to buy new phones and there are plenty on their way.

AL10 Can't get OTA to work

I have an AL10 with Chinese firmware. I used SRK Tool for Huawei and did the following
1. unlocked booloader
2. install twrp
3. Flash L19C646B190 from twrp
4. root
5. update oeminfo to C636
- After this step I had issues that when I boot the phone kept on asking for a password to decrypt the storage. I booted into twrp and tried to change the /data partition to ext4 from f2fs, but couldn't
6. Tried to flash L19C646B190 using UPDATE.APP and volume up + volume down + power, but couldn't. Phone complained that the firmware was incompatible
7. Used SRK Tool to update ro.build.display.id to EVA-L19C900B00. It was #ro.build.display.id=disabled
8. Flashed L19C646B190 using UPDATE.APP and volume up + volume down + power
9. Bootloader was locked again and twrp replaced with stock recovery after flashing
All in all the phone seems to be working find, but OTA is not working.
How do I go about getting OTA to work again?

Worked like a charm, thanks I changed my oeminfo to hw / meanaf for c185 and flashed an offical L19C185 from Huawei. Immediately got all the OTAs and the device is working great.
For anybody with an AL10, don't bother looking for a L29 ROM, just Flash n L19, it works perfectly. The OS sees all the RAM and storage space
I flashed L09 rom to my AL-10 and everything is working fine too
I also have an al-10 and I'm tired of the Chinese rom.Can I change it to another rom?

Dude! Are you really asking that? OP create this thread because he change his chinesse phone rom to international rom

Firmware install

So in this method:
1) Download Stock ROM for Honor 5c from above and extract it.
2) Now create a folder dload in the root of your SD card and place the update.app file in that folder.
3) Now turn off your device.
4) Now press “Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button” together. The update process will start automatically.
5) Now wait for some time to complete the process.
6) Done.
Do I need to put update.app in sdcard folder on my phone btw its honor 5c or can I put it on Micro SD card I am asking this because I dont have access of my internal storage.
but you answered to your own question at part 2. internal storage isnt sd card so what could be sd card? thats right, sd card!
AHA well i tought that it is maybe a folder on internal storage, never mind thanks

I have a rooted Honor 5C (NEM-L51C432B350 and Nougat) with twrp-3.1.1-0-venus recovery (unlocked bootloader etc.). Today the system informed me that there is an update: NEM-L51C432B357. Now I'm aware that with a rooted phone the update might be not as smooth or automatic.
What's the best way to preceed to apply the update without soft-bricking the phone? Granted I must restore the stock recovery. But do I have to relock the bootloader and remove the root as well? Or is there an easier way?
Also: in bootloader mode I see: FRP Lock. How do I unlock it?
Thank you

I think the easiest way would be dload method search for the update.app on web and you only need update so just download the update and not the whole firmware and do a backup before update and i think you dont have to relock bootloader and you dont have to remove root and for 7.0 nougat you need to have openkirin version of twrp
You can always just try just update it I think you should not have any problems but if you think you would you can try the method i wrote you
I hope i helped you

@leoleo333 and @wallace108 I upgraded from B350 to B357. I had to restore to STOCK revovery. My phone was not rooted but i am almost 100% sure that you need to REMOVE root. It could cause problems. As for the BOOTLOADER i did not relock my bootloader and suffered no issues installing the update. However the bootloader was locked afterwards and i had to unlock it once again and then install a suitable TWRP or any custom recovery of your choice that is compatible with EMUI 5+/Nougat.
Hope that helps(give me a thanx if so). Cheers
