    Updated mine to 6.0, remember single sim and dual sum have different versions, ensure yours is correct.

    Will need About 3gb of space, thus sd card may be required, can delete the file once everything is updated

  21. Does this work for
    Build number c185b130
    Ale-l21
    Android version 5.0.1

    • Better to update it to B170 and then try. It may also work on this as it is Full firmware image. Download the latest B574 (dual SIM) or B581 (Single Sim).

    • Hi, I’m about to upgrade my phone. we do have same build number B170. does the update works for you? I need to make sure before I ran it to my phone. Thanks in advance.

  58. Hi Joe,
    I’ve had similar issues trying to upgrade an Australian (Telstra) L02 P8 Lite and despite it being the same region as the Asian Pacific update, it’s not a compatible country. Really annoying as neither my Wifi or Bluetooth will switch on so I was hoping a new firmware might solve my problem. Looks like I’ll have to wait a couple of months for my current contract to expire and then get the new P9 Lite

  75. I initially found this a bit confusing. –
    1. – Do I just need to DL one of the 4 zips above? i.e. Just the one for my single-SIM P8Lite? Or ALL FOUR?
    (I only DLed the third RAR file and unzipped it.)
    Regarding steps 1-6 –
    2. – You should explain that the file(s) above must be unzipped, and the UPDATE-APP will be then befound inside the unzipped folder “SOFTWARE”.

    The 3rd file above indicates “Bulgaria”. Is this OK for North America?
