Honor 7 lite [honor 5c] stuck on Emui 4.1.2 NEM-L21

Wassup, I have a small problem, rather a big one.
I'm still stuck at NEM-L21C43B131 update, Emui 4.2.1, which is from 1 december 2016 I've read that I should have gotten nougat but I cannot recieve any updates, I've tried using HiSuite, Firmware finder on both PC and on the Phone, Proxy, DNS, and regular dload method. NONE HAVE WORKED.
I even contacted the huawei support and they said there are tons of firmware updates and I should have gotten them and they will maybe send out an firmware to me. (Not gotten it so dead end there)
I tried unlocking the bootloader, installed twrp to get a custom ROM, LineageOS 14.1 doesn't want to install due to Error 7, I tried to install Elite TWRP but the phone don't want to boot into it, so I tried using regular TWRP to install Elite ROM, it does install but doesn't exist which makes no sense whatsoever.
TWRP 3.1.1.0 is the only one that works, the rest just doesn't work.
I have even tried using Meticulus LineageOS for EMUI 4.X, but either I get encrypted password on it or error 7.
So I don't know what to do at this point, I heard android 7 fixes alot of bugs like RAM usage for honor 5C, and thats all I care about since the phone keeps crashing due to an app or freezing all togheter for 15-20 minutes and then reboots. (OR REALLY SUPER SLOW)
Factory resetted the phone about 30 times at this point.
If anyone got an idea I'm open to ears and eyes :good:
Thanks!

Please help me restore my P9

Hi all
I picked up a second hand Huawei P9, (EVA-L19) my intention was to unlock the bootloader & flash a custom version of Android 9 or 10 on it.
I unlocked the bootloader via the DC method, and loaded TWRP, and wiped the previous firmware...
Only during the process, I realised I needed to update the phone to the latest stock version of Nougat first, and then upgrade it to Oreo, and then load the custom firmware... I have struggled to find stock software that works. I have used TWRP, the multi tool, and other programs such as firmware extractor, the HUR updater and I just cannot find anything 100% working. On top of that, there seems to be a problem with the battery, not sure if it is firmware related, or I need to get a new battery. The phone stays on for 2 minutes before the battery dies.
I have managed with the HUR updater & huawei-firmware.com to get a version of Nougat installed, it seems to boot, but the keyboard doesn't work, and any attempt to reset it gives me the explanation mark in the recovery menu.
The phone is a South African version of the L19.
My intention would be to get the phone back to working version of stock, then follow the correct proceedures, and update to Oreo, and then custom again. If the battery still gives issues, I will replace it.
Please help, running out of patience.
Thanks

Official EMUI 10 Update

Just got official update notification to EMUI 10.
A pleasant surprise. Phone was running perfect on Android 9 as well.
Went ahead and updated. Seems nice and stable. No bugs yet.
Any one else getting it now??

Received today a small update called system parameters update with no informations! The size of the update is about 9.13KB...
Mate 10 ALP-L29C636(10.0.0.181)..

Mine appeared last year but pressed later, and now still stuck on EMUI 9.1!
Tried HiSuite, HiCare... but no luck..

Stuck on EMUI 10.0 on Huawei P30 Pro after 1 year

So I had the phone for almost 2 years, and I realise that I haven't received updates since March 2020. I know that EMUI 11 is out, but I have not gotten an update after EMUI 10.0. I tried using the HiCare method, the HiSuite PC method, but nothing works. I'm currently located in the United States, I don't think it has to do where I am, because I know someone who has EMUI 10.1 or EMUI 11 on their device. What should I do to update the device? I also found out the region code is C636, which is Asia Pacific.

There's a thread on flashing firmware on locked boot loaders. That may be of help.

I would do it, but I think it's too risky.

Been there, done that. Don't worry, I can help for you not to kill the phone like I did on my first attempt .
The dload method works fine. Although, you will need to get the rom for our region from here (this is the latest 10.1 version, you can verify it here) . I recommend going with the OTG adapter + USB memory stick method (it will wipe the data so don't forget to make a backup before proceeding).
I just want to clarify that I haven't been able to upgrade from 10.1 to 11 with any of the methods you have mentioned, not even with HISuite Proxy (there's no dload FW support for EMUI 11). Since I'm a Mac user I had to go with a virtual machine so that could have been the problem though (I read other users have successfully upgraded to 11 once they were on 10.1).
The main reason for me to update the phone was fixing the wireless charging. I've bought a Huawei wireless charger and I'm having this issue (spoilers alert: it doesn't seem to be a software issue so no, still not working).
The process is relatively safe as long as you flash the right firmware. On my first attempt I flashed the firmware from a different region. The phone worked normally except for the device certification (no Netflix, Google Pay, banking apps and so on).
Good luck and just let me know if you have any questions.

Did you succeed to upgrade your device to emui 11? Please share your method if you did

Try to update via Hi Care (it used to be to force an update to Emui 11 before the update came out in the normal "updater")
In HiCare app -> select Your device -> Quic Services -> Update -> click Check for updates

Huawei P9 attempted upgrade "the update package does not exist"

Hi all,
How are you?
I have spent soooo many hours trying to upgrade my new old stock Huawei P9 EVA-L09, its driving me absolutely crazy. When I bought it, like an idiot, I didn't check the Android Version, which I discovered was 6. So, I did oodles of research, gathered the right tools, downloaded the suggested updates and started.
I successfully upgraded to the latest android 6 (L09C432B210), but I tried many versions of Android 7, but to no avail. I eventually found a version of Android 7 called 'L09C432B322' that worked, but when I checked it says 'NRD90M test-keys', which is EMUI 5, Android 7; it is a fully functioning version of Android 7 but it is a pre-release version I believe, and neither the 'Files' option nor the 'Update' option are available on it, which is a pain. I have now tried a total of 23 different update versions, but no success, and with exactly the same issue with the update process, saying that it cannot update using that version (not precise wording!).
A couple of days ago I accidentally ended up on the phone update screen, the one with the big circle, while I was trying to get in to TWRP (fat fingers...). It sat there for an age doing absolutely nothing (aside from the circle spinning), not even failing, and I didnt even have an update file in 'dload' on my SD Card (not that I'm aware of), so I pressed the power button and shut it off. Now when I try to update, using either update.app via manual update or update.zip via HWOYA7, any update at all tbh, even old ones that I know failed but at least the update file was seen by the phone & process, it tells me the install failed and 'the update package does not exist'. I thought it may be a file extension association issue in Windows 10 (not sure how, just clutching at straws), so I reset the associations to Windows default, but that did not work. At around about the same time of the update issue starting, I couldn't say for sure when as I wasn't paying enough attention, I started using the HWOTA7 tool, which too gave the same result of 'the update package does not exist'.
Did HWOTA7 cause this? Did I cause this inadvertantly? Has a broken update.app caused this? I simply do not know and am hoping one of you fine people may be able to help me. Is the process looking in a different place to where either HWOTA7 puts the file (not changed from default) or where I put the file (SD Card 'dload')?
The reason I'm trying to update is because Android 7 is no longer supported by Google and one by one apps are disappearing from Google Play, so I'd like to update to Android 8 (Oreo). There lays another fine issue as I cannot find a version of it anywhere, not since Huawei removed the updates from its site a couple of years back. Not that any update will work of course...
I've never known a phone to be so difficult to get the correct software for and to ultimately upgrade. I even managed to update an LG G5 around 2 years ago when there were no official updates, but this Huawei P9 is just silly...
I think the update process should be this, update to the latest possible Android 6 then 7 for the P9, rebrand to the AL10 and, update to the chinese Oreo and then overlay the Kirin fix (I think); is that correct?
Thanks folks.
Paul.

Hey @vorlockfoss can you send me the B322 that you have found in order to update from B210 Marshmallow to Nougat?
Huawei's firmware servers were taken down only last quarter of 2020 so october/november/december 2020 around those months.

Hi W00fer,
How are you?
B322 is the version I downgraded from, back to C900B300. If you have B210 then you'll need B386;
HWOTA.zip | by Tecalote for P9
there are instructions in the folder. It includes the full firmware for EVA-L09 C432 B386 - for update from Android 6 to Android 7. For example from b182 or b210 to b386.
androidfilehost.com
I've responded more completely to your other message, so if you need further advice it may be better to reply there and I'll do what I can to help. I will update this thread after we've finished, just to keep it tidy.
Thanks,
Paul.
