Could you help me flash latest firmware? - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

Hello,
so for some reason i no longer have the search for updates option in settings. I want to install latest firmware using firmware finder but i don't know which is the right one to flash and how i should do it.
So right now i have PRA-LX1C432B181 firmware, i want PRA-LX1C432B197 because is the last OTA update. In firmware finder i can find it but i get "The firmware is not approved for installation" so i can't/should flash it? What's the latest firmware i can flash?

Try updating from eRecovery (on Bootloader unlocked warning screen hold volume up, or while phone connected to PC hold volume up) and connect to wifi. It should download the latest B198 firmware

Unlocked Bootloader Error Message - System Update Failing

I am from India and I exchanged my iPhone 4S for a Moto X 2014 just this evening wanting to try my hands on the Android experience.
I do not know what the seller did to this phone but I now have two issues. I tried to call the seller immediately after I noticed these problems when I came home but the number is switched off. Shame on him!
After Google'ing I found this forum for android support so I hope posting the problems here would give me some solution
Problem #1: Every time when I boot my phone, it has the warning screen which says "Warning unlocked bootloader".
Problem #2: The warning went off and landed me on the home screen. I connected to my WiFi and saw that there is a software update. I downloaded it and chose to install it. It kept rebooting for 4-5 times and then said "System Update - Failed".
Can anyone please be patient enough to give me step by step solution with download links to get my Moto X2 back in shape as how it was out of the box?
I googled a lot for the keywords "relock bootloader moto x 2014", "unroot moto x 2014" and plenty of links with different download links came up. I do not know which one to trust. I am not dumb and I can easily follow instructions. So, please anyone wanna help?
If the OTA (software update) is failing, maybe it's because the firmware you have was installed via custom recovery, not stock, or even the firmware is custom too, that's why you get a bootloop if you try to install the update.
Can you post a screenshot of your "About phone"? (Settings>About phone).

I fiddled around to find out how to get into the Fastboot mode... and I observed something weird there..
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
60.16 (sha-#some checksum number key with date 2015-04-02 and time#
CPU: MSM8974AC EA1.1
eMMC: 2048MB Samsung RV=07 PV=0B TY=57
Battery OK
Device i UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3
Software status: Official
I mean Seriously? I see the word Samsung in a Moto phone? I so regret buying from this seller... too much for a first Android phone :crying:
Well I also managed to Google more and installed the device drivers and the Fastboot software in my Windows PC.
Booted my device in fastboot mode and issues the below commands:
fastboot devices
#my device was shown#
fastboot oem lock
#told me to use the command with begin#
fastboot oem lock begin
#Said something like the image is ready#
Nothing happened then though. I powered on my device and I still see that warning. Still the software update is failing. :crying::crying::crying:
You don't need to unlock your bootloader, it is already unlocked, that's why the bootloader says that the "Device is unlocked", but also says your firmware is stock (Status software official).
If your firmware is stock, I don't know why its failing to apply the update, maybe is because your phone has a custom recovery. Try to enter into that option in the bootloader and see what happens.

I am not trying to unlock my bootloader. I am trying to restore it back to the "out of the box" state. I mean I want to lock it and I want it to be in the state how it usually is when bought from the store.
Ok... I google'd how to go into the recovery mode and found this link (teamandroid.com/2015/01/08/enter-recovery-mode-moto-x/).
I followed those steps:
1. Turn OFF your phone.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button for 2-5 seconds. While holding the Volume Down button, press the Power Button for 1-2 seconds and release.
3. I used the Volume down key to highlight "Recovery" and clicked on the power button to select it.
4. My screen went off. I mean the light gone.
Then I had to press and hold the power on button, it booted my phone with that warning unlocked bootloader message.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE:
I did a fastboot, connected phone to PC and issued the below command from PC and get below error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb reboot recovery
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
UPDATE 2:
I enabled the developers option (by tapping on the Build number multiple times)
So, I installed an app called MobileUncle Tools.
I then opened the app from my mobile and clicked on "Reboot into recover".
It says "Please root your Android first".
OK.. so looks like the phone is not rooted - which is good.
Only the bootloader is unlocked. All I need to figure out is - re-lock my bootloader and make the system update go through successfully.
Any help please?
You must unlock the Developer Options in your phone, and then activate the debugger mode to be able to use adb commands like "adb reboot recovery".
In the About phone menu in settings, press five times the option of "Build number", then the Developer options in settings will be available. Navigate to that menu and activate the Android debugging option, then you should be able to use adb from a command window in your PC.
EDIT: Also, you have to press the up volume button in the bootloader to choose an option, not the power button.
Having the bootloader unlocked doesn't affect system updates via OTA or anything if your firmware and recovery are stock. Your firmware seems to be stock, so there's no problem with it, but I'm not sure about your recovery.

I have one question for you:
What do you mean by "Your firmware seems to be stock, so there's no problem with it, but I'm not sure about your recovery".
My understanding is - you are saying my stock firmware is intact because it said Official in the fastboot screen. Right?
Ok... now back to the recovery check... I think I did it.
1. I went in the fastboot mode
2. Used volume down key to scroll down to Recovery option (2nd option)
3. Pressed Volume up key to select it
4. The phone rebooted (The white screen "warning unlocked bootloader" message was displayed this time too)
5. I saw a dead android symbol with the word "No command."
6. I pressed Power and Volume Up key. I saw the recovery screen I guess. There were many options - Wipe data, Wipe Cache, Install from SD, etc.
What do I need to check there?
EDIT:
Ok I noted this number from there:
Android system recovery <3e>
LPE23.32-25.1
followed by the options
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
etc.
I think this is what has happened:
Google says "LPE23.32-25.1" is the Android 5.1 Lollipop update (v23.16.1, build LPE23.32-25.1)
However, the current Android version on my device "About" screen is 4.4.4
The OTA system update, my device telling me about is Android 5.0 Lollipop version: 22.21.19.en.EU (which is a lower version than my recovery's version)
My menu options look all white and after google'ing I realize that it has Android L's menu. Please see the screenshot i65.tinypic.com/14l4mmb.png
Could that be that reason? What can I do t rectify it?
1) You most likely will want to keep your bootloader unlocked, since it'll give you more freedom to deal with roms and flashing. It won't affect taking OTAs, in fact, I've just taken the 6.0 OTA and my bootloader is unlocked.
2) Don't worry about the Unlocked Bootloader Message. That can be fixed by flashing the correct logo.bin file.
3) If your device is in KitKat (4.4.4) but your bootloader is from Lollipop (5.0 or 5.1), DON'T TAKE THE OTA. There's one post here saying that it'll cause a hardbrick. Your solution will be to manually flash the correct firmware or use RSD Lite.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for clearing that point 1 and 2. That is a relief!
Point #3 - "Your solution will be to manually flash the correct firmware or use RSD Lite."
What do I flash? OTA 5.1 (because my bootloader is from 5.1) or OTA 22.21.19.en.EU (because that is what I see in my phone's Software Update Available screen.
Where do I download those OTA files?
How do I flash using RSDLite? Any guide?
Thank you!
UPDATE:
Found the guide forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231249
I only need to know what I version I need to flash AND where can I download it from. Please?
Best option is flashing the entire firmware of your phone variant using RSDLite. The firmware you're looking for (based on what Google says) is VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_5.1_LPE23.32-25.3
Can you confirm this? If it's correct, then the firmware is in this folder (Firmwares 5.1 stagefright solved): https://mega.nz/#F!ow8igZRL!Z7vmN8GOpez2bVMYDvEKkg

My recovery screen showed LPE23.32-25.1
So there is just the last number change... the download link you gave is for the version ending with .3 where my recovery shows .1
That should not be a problem, or should it?

No it's not a problem. This will give you the latest version with the stagefright patch.

It is .3 because it has the stagefright patch, the .1 version doesn't have that patch but both of them are basically the same, so there's no problem if you flash one or another.

How To Restore Everything Using Fastboot?

Hi.
I got into problem after flashing the Beta 7.0. I need to restore my phone using fastboot since the eRecovery that I got gave me only 3 options: download latest version and recovery, reboot, shutdown.
I have tried flashing the system.img, boot.img and recovery (both stock and TWRP). During flashing everything looked OK without any error but I still get this when booted:
"Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted - your device is booting now..." and it got into bootloop.

try to put the update.app of B130 on dload folder on SD Card, external sd or OTG and it should be able to flash..
i had a similar issues, almost was going to go the service center when i was able to flash the firmware B130 thru the auto update from OTG (flash drive) (Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power).
The dload / 3 button method doesn't work any more, here is what worked for me:
I got to the state where I could only enter Fastboot mode (Press vol- and connect power cable). When I tried to start the phone / go into recovery it would only display the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" Message. My mistake was to relock the bootloader in an attempt to get the recovery to work.
I looked for hours for the answer, here is what worked for me:
follow this tutorial (the "update firmware" part)
German
English
But with real precision, every step.
If you have a european unbranded L09 you should be fine using the firmware you can find on this site:
https://thedroidguru.com/download-install-huawei-p9-b394-nougat-update-europe/
if not you gotta find the full firmware (3 files!!) yourself - good luck!
If you only want to go back to stock you should be fine afterwards.
If you want to install twrp for root/custom rom/... follow these steps after installing twrp with the tool:
Upon flashing TWRP, FIRST THING YOU MUST DO is rebooting to TWRP. If you don't do that, stock Recovery will ovewrite TWRP.
Find instructions in the TWRP threads how to enforce immediate booting to TWRP, upon you flashed it:
-Type on the PC: fastboot reboot -but don't press Enter yet.
-Press and keep pressing Vol+ and Power buttons together on the phone
-Press Enter on the PC and then immediately unplug USB cabel.
-When phone shows Booting, release Power but keep pressing Vol+. button
Hope this helps, I don't take responsability for anything, happy flashing!

DLOAD does not work for half a year, ie since Huawei stopped releasing FullOTA-MF-PV builds (it worked only for them)
Here, on XDA there are two proven guides for recovering Nougat (not just for EU c432 but for all custs, not only for P9 L09 but also for L19, L29) - just search for them: HWOTA7, HuRUpdater
PS: You have crossposted the same to several threads?!

Bricked P9 EVA-L09

Hello guys!
I have bricked my P9 EVA-L09 today. i want to update it to android 7 with update from erecovery. i put files from update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and it went good but phone wont boot up and the second file "update.zip" ive extracted to dload but phone cant install it. I've tried many things to unbrick my phone but i cant do it. flashing system via fastboot is impossible cause it says that it cant be written. i have no root ant no bootloader unlocked. Please help me guys QQ
If you have C432, try this:
1. install via sdcard + 3buttons UPDATE.app from HUAWEI_P9_Rollback Package_EVA-L19_from Android 7.0_EMUI 5.0_to Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C900B300
2. install via sdcard + 3 buttons HUAWEI_P9_Firmware_EVA-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1.1_C432B182_Western Europe

try installing 6.0 firmware for you model.
i cant go to eRecovery, i cant even shut down device - only full discharge can make it.But i can go to fastboot. Ive tried with fastboot commands but i have locked bootloader and every time my flashes are rejected by phone. The simpliest metod - HiSuite send me message: "no recovery packages are found for your phone model". It should be a way to unbrick it with fastboot but i dont know how.

I will try to send my Huawei to warranty service and if they wont repair my phone ill pay for DC Phoenix too
I had the same problem!
Hi there.
Was in the same situation as you not so long ago.
Get a micro SD card, plug into PC, create a dload folder then download the rollback file from the Huawei website.
I'm a new user so can't post URL. Just Google "Huawei P9 rollback" should be the 2nd option (consumer.huawei link)
Put in the dload folder and put into your P9.
Press and hold power, vol up and down together till the Huawei logo appears and let go when you feel the vibrate.
This should force update and restart. (does not rollback to email 4.1, only unlocks the rollback from emui 5)
Next you need to download your previous firmware, in my case I'm in the UK with unlocked P9, so I downloaded EVA-L09C432B166.
Same again, put micro SD into PC, delete the rollback file and put your firmware in its place.
Put back in the P9 and repeat the above force update.
This will put you back to working stable stock.
For further reassurance, download a build previous to B166 so when it's up and running you can search for an OTA update to make sure all is in order.
Hope this helps.
Did you meant that the rollback flashes without going to eRecovery? I said some posts earlier that i cannot enter eRecovery so i cant dload anything. Im stuck on Huawei logo all the time do you think than i can flash something via dload without going to eRecovery?
erecovery is different.
I'm saying to do a force update, but in order to do so you need a microSD card.
Erecovery involves holding power up while connecting to PC in order to use HiSuite etc to recover.
Force updater tells the phone to search for dload folder on SD card or phone and install the update before trying to boot up OS.
So, if you connect microSD to your PC via a card reader etc and not via your phone, you can create a dload folder, download the rollback file from Huawei (above) the file is only around 80mb or so, plug the SD card back into your phone while powered off, hold down Power + vol up + vol down. The Huawei logo will appear, when it disappears let go of all the buttons. This should bring up the Update screen.
At this point the phone will install the rollback file. and this will bypass the rollback prevention in emui 5 and therefore allow you to install a previous emui build (4.1)
Again though your phone will still not boot at this point as there is no OS working or installed.
So you need to download the corresponding firmware for your phone/country/operator. Once downloaded, remove the memory card from the phone, connect to PC via card reader, delete the rollback file you placed in the dload folder and replace it with the downloaded OS and repeat the process used to install the rollback.
From there you should be back to stock marshmallow.
I should point out the files you download may be in zip folders. You need to extract the "update" file and that's what you place in the dload folder.
Hope this all makes sense, if not I can make a YouTube video and post it.
Good luck.
Now i know what did you mean, but sadly i cant update it too. I tried with my friend's P9 and when i hold these 3 buttons then shows special update screen and in my P9 it doesnt probably because of my bad flash rollback for P9 EVA-L19 and i have EVA-L09 model

Inform the results please.
I made a video to better understand. This wideo is showing that phone isn't searching any dload folder. https://youtu.be/oD9AI_6SqLs
edit: i have tried your advices to put rollback and try to dload it and then same with firmware but there is no reaction i didnt see there any circle with progress of flashing (like it was before i flashed rollback for L19)
Mine is now doing the exact same thing - I too tried the dload method to update from C432B182 to C432B361 and it's screwed my device up too.
Until I tried to use the 'rollback' package, it would at least allow me to power off, so I could get back into the Update screen - after doing that, and trying the B182 again, it's got into this position where I can do literally nothing with it. No combination of buttons, no matter how long I try to hold them, seems to do anything.
An update...
After letting my battery drain completely, I have been able to get into Fastboot mode, by pressing and holding the Volume Down button whilst connecting a USB cable to my PC.
From here, I have been able to run DC-Phoenix, and have been able to write some .APP files to it - which has at the very least got it booting into eRecovery, rather than the boot loop it had before, but is still not fully booting.
It looks like I might need the full, original firmware, in order to proceed?
And I've got about 68 hours left to flash using DC-Phoenix, or I'll have to spend another €15!
Yes you download the original firmware unzip it and put it in the "dload" folder of SD card then do a force update. Hold all the buttons vol + vol - and power

I extracted to a USB stick in the dload folder then plugged it into the phone. Once again install failed. i know i am missing something super simple. Cheers guys and girls
have you tried restore via eRecovery or HiSuite?
Technically you can flash FW from any region via dload. Try this one... https://androidhost.ru/Vqv
Please take note that flashing via dload will wipe your data and relock your BL.
Up unto this point I thought I was using eRecovery. Assuming that is where you hold down the VOL+ and - along with power to start the phone??? I have not tried using HiSuite. I am not on a windows PC and have to do everything inside a VM which I am still getting used to. If there is an easier way to get it back to stock i am all ears.
I cannot reboot into eRecovery because TWRP is sitting there

I would go with the dload method. Easiest way. Just download the FW from the link I provided, extract and put the dload folder to the root of an usb OTG. Power off phone completely. plug-in usb otg. press and hold volume up, volume down and power button at the same time until it boot to white screen flashing the FW
